Yes, this kind of situation mainly dependent on where you are living in. I believe with bitcoin debit-cards (even it has some higher fees compared to our bank cards) it is completely possible to face any situations with bitcoin.

Somehow I feel this is not just ordinary pump and dump. We might go over $1k again. Also, this time BTC s spread over way more people so a couple of guys cannon dump and affect the market.

YES!!!

This is the biggest weakness with using Bitcoin - if the electricity goes out or you're unable to reach the blockchain, your funds are not accessible (they might as well be worth nothing).

But, Bitcoin was never designed to be a doomsday currency. It was meant to be a more fair, more efficient way to conduct current financial transactions.

This is the beauty of it, it won't need to replace fiat (nor should it) because fiat will always be necessary in emergency situations. This will help prevent the rulers of fiat currencies from meddling with Bitcoin.

The next run-up wil be after the block size fix, during that time we will see a drop to ~$200-$250.

Dont buy now, just wait 2-3 months.

I think the coin's price before this year ends will be $50000.

Yes, faucets could help a user familiarize himself on transacting with bitcoins, but what others don't know is that if there are too many dust inputs/outputs on an address, that would have a problem in terms of fee as it is calculated per kB on every transaction. To be able to create a tx using that address, you have to abide by the fee it requests or just let the balance in there and never bother using it again.

Appealing for people who absolutely no idea economics. Everyone with a straight mind and a little bit of knowledge should smell the rotten fish here he is going to get.

if i could earn enough maybe yes.

Yes. Two big events in two different events must have significant impact on bitcoin prices which may be the reasons for next big price rally. People around the world are already started holding bitcoin on expectation of halving boom. Satoshi must have implemented halving for every year to make price surges often.

This is how I approach gambling. I really only gamble on poker and sports betting, and I do it for the entertainment. If I win, that's awesome, and if I lose, I was simply paying for entertainment.

I also started doing parlay betting on NFL a lot recently. It's quite a cheap hobby, and just being right a fraction of the time yields insane profits.

True its all pump and dump now
