Where is the best place to get rid of Monero, if you're in the United States? I've been looking at Bittrex, Kraken, and Poloniex ... But I'm a getting confused. Can it be converted to USD on an exchange or am I going to have to sell and buy BTC with ... And then send the BTC to Coinbase in order to get it into USD?
Yes you have to sell to BTC first before converting it to $, I recommend bittrex.
So on the other hand, Node: Bitcoin ABC (Bitcoin Cash; Bcash) is stuck on Current height: 478558 from a couple of minutes after the block was mined. And there's been no blocks since.
It's going to take them 2000 blocks to get their mining difficulty adjusted? And while that's waiting, any transactions are stuck?

everything in bitcoin cash has been based on time instead of block numbers or number of blocks.
the fork was on a fixed time (12:20 UTC) if i am not mistaken which is block #478558 i don't know if stuck is the right word but since the hash rate is low for BCC and the difficulty is high it takes a long time to find a block so the blockchain is staying there and BCC nodes are rejecting the new blocks mined on bitcoin chain.
also their difficulty adjustment is based on time. it is after a fixed amount of time passed that they readjust the difficulty and lower it. i think it is after 6 hours with 0 blocks.
How long is that to mine a block in a normal amount of time?
So far no tragedy. Your worries are unfounded for now, as far as I can see. So far not many dollars moving, if any at all... 
Miners want more profit, thus moving to BCC is a huge risk with no obvious return. The economic incentive is on Bitcoin so far.

With fork done we can move on from the toxic deadlock between rival factions, this is good for bitcoin.
Re: SegWit2x support growing day by day, WHY FORK FUD and PANIC
Just look at that stats, more than 600 blocks are in favour of segwit2x pool and it is still growing day by day. Thanks for sharing this analysis as it made me sure about my recent bitcoin purchases as well as more bitcoins that are going to be mine very soon. Lols. I mean this hard fork would be just blow wind which will disperse in the atmosphere in no time and we are again ready to get those profits we are waiting for.
No need to thank me, I just wanted to stop this FUD which brings good to noone but speculators.
As we can see, miners have already started signaling SegWit2x SUPPORT and not only intention to support. This means we might have SegWit2x locked in before the end of this week. After that, there s really no need to consider any further instability cause Bitcoin will be overcoming one more major obstacle.
Yeah it was pretty obvious this was going to happen from the start, I guess people just like spreading FUD in general.
This is the existing problem why bitcoin can't be legit all around the world. Us, its supporters, need to know that bitcoin will not be a a legit system soon.
The governments don't like bitcoin and its uncontrallable features.
Governments all over the world will legalize bitcoin pretty soon,which means that they will bring in more rules and regulations on how things work with the exchanges and how people could send money and the restrictions imposed and so on,so what i feel is there will be more restrictions for bitcoin in the name of legalization.The governments don't like bitcoin and its uncontrallable features.
We have long past the legal phase and we are currently in the acceptance phase with more and more countries starting to accept and regulate it. After that comes the support phase where I think some countries will support it and others won't.
I don't think bitcoin really competes with fiat but rather works well alongside it, at the end of the day it will never be a replacement for cold hard cash and some governments will realize that and actively support it others will remain skeptical.
It could be the case eventually but right now every alt on every exchange is denominated in bitcoin, even ETH has more volume going through bitcoin than it does in direct fiat. Until this changes bitcoin will remain the main one.
People like him because he identifies as Republican so people like him for the simple fact that they hate Democrats. Another thing that resounds with the average person are his slogans like America first, make America great again which reasonates with people who feel they have gotten a raw deal out of the world, they get a feeling he will do something better for them. At the end of the day though he is just an idiot who doesn't know what hes doing and is being manipulated from multiple angles.
I think they are equally as risky, except sports bets makes u feel like your choice will actually affect the outcome, in reality the odds are set so that 99.999% of people will never earn on average from sports betting. Its how they fool you into thinking experience or skill matters.
Decide exactly what you will gamble beforehand and what u will do if u win and where u will stop and don't deviate from ur pre prepared strategy that way you know exactly what you risk losing and when you will stop so greed doesn't take over. That's how I control myself but I understand the temptation to deviate from a plan especially when you feel luck is on your side.
Re: IF eth takes over from BTC will BTC then face a relative colapse?
it can't!
because bitcoin will always remain a decentralized currency.
and ethereum will always be a bad platform for smart contract which was never supposed to be a currency. and not to mention the alarmingly high transaction fees of its network (getting closer to $1) which comes from its terrible scaling issue.

Ethereum block sizes scale up linearly over time so eventually it will fix itself, and PoS offers more scaleability than the current PoW they use. I think eventually it will reach a higher market cap than btc but i don't think btc will collapse in the same way all other shitty alts haven't collapsed.
We will see $3500 faster than you think. It will be exactly in the similar fashion we reached previous ATH, fast and out of nowhere.
There are massive number of positive bitcoin news circulating around: Japanese internet giant GMO launching Bitcoin Trading Platform in Japan.
One of the bigger payment processors in Russia will soon embrace bitcoin and add it to their system, not to mention future scaling solution.

Bitcoins price has been quite resilient and the latest crash was much smaller percentage wise than previous crashes so I think to it will move steadily up and make permanent gains. $3500 I think will be reached before the end of the year.
Banks were never going to use the ripple currency they were always only interested in the blockchain. Using a speculative asset for transactions makes zero sense to a risk averse bank. The reality is that ripple is a speculative asset and has no real use other than minimal amounts to prevent spam attacks on the network.
ETH is jumping from being listed on exchanges in other countries, but once the excitement dies down it will probably fall just as hard as it rose. I think eventually it will reach a marketcap similar to bitcoin but there just isn't a comparable real usage yet which means the price is purely speculative.
I don't think Trump will get impeached, Republicans are too desperate to stay in power and having their own president impeached almost guarantees a democrat landslide in the new elections.
