You forget that the US justice system treats ordinary proceedings differently and proceedings that are of a political nature. And the Ross Ulbricht case was one of those times when the government wanted to show strength in the fight against drugs. Although in most cases such a "war on drugs" does not give visible results, I believe this high-profile case promised someone high-ranking positions (in the sense that, covering one channel for the distribution of prohibited substances, another immediately appears). So Ross, by and large, is just a hostage of the situation.

When Toyota will receive BTC the price can be $1M...

Would you buy Tesla using your Bitcoin or you will wait to $100K? 

Looking closely at technology development that has happened in the past few years, you can see transformation in the world. Bitcoin has a vital impact on the financial world. It is the most trusted and one of the secure digital and best currencies among thousands of others

Plan 1: Buy BTC and ETH only. Spend $50 and buy 50% BTC and 50% ETH. No schedule and buy on dips.

Plan 2: Buy BTC, ETH, and LTC. Weekly, regardless of the current cost of each coin. Alternate between coins so 1 week buy 50/50 BTC and ETH. Next week buy 100% LTC. Next week buys 50/50 again.

HODL both obviously.

Also at what point is a hardware wallet required?

First of all, I recommend you read this thread: [GUIDE] How to buy a Hardware Wallet the right way
The point is that it has already happened that people bought hardware wallet and their home address has leaked onto the internet. This may be of concern, hence you may want to take some precautions.

Now about the preferences, I do have a Nano S and I'm happy with it. It was not that expensive and it does the job well. And it looks somewhat close to an USB stick.
I use the HW with (verified) Electrum and seldom with Mycelium. Imho Ledger live is crap as wallet.

FED chair Jerome Powell says cryptos such as Bitcoin still too volatile to replace the US and deemed it a speculative asset. $BTC enjoyed price surges this year as major companies adopted and invested in the token.

So I bought BTC at £9000, made a nice amount. Is it a good idea to now sell this and move that money into alt coins? or should I  sell half BTC and buy back in after alt season is finished?

What do you think?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, an asset and a future. Its future development should be very good. Now more and more countries accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin has brought benefits to many people, so it has also attracted the attention of large-scale investors.

i have been in the cryptocurrency field since 2014 and i have seen the brightest and darkest days of BTC but when i look at the current rising conditions of the bitcoin market i see that we have come a long way and most of the world is accepting the cryptocurrency payments and some lager brands are also connected to the BTC world.

but sometimes a thought crosses my mind that will these conditions last longer and better in the future?

what do you guys have to say about it?

let us know 

So BTC will continue to be mined until about 2140, when all 21 million are finished. But imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and it finished in say the year 9140, it actually wouldn't make any difference to us than 21 million, because the inflation rate would still be the same. I think the current bitcoin inflation rate is 1.3 percent or whatever. So just imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and 18,648,168 BTC were currently in circulation, do you think people would still say you know there will only ever be 21 trillion bitcoins.... i dont think so. But it would be the same as saying there's only 21 million. Maybe in the year 2130 people can say that when there's only 10 years left but for us who are alive now, why should million or trillion matter. Inflation rate and circulating supply would still be the same.... any thoughts?
