To attract other countries that are still skeptical about bitcoin, and also create good publicity for the world community, especially for governments, will require a lot of time and effort. The legitimacy of the state is always an incentive to justify bitcoin.

Trust in bitcoin, as a method of payment, on the part of such a serious economy as the Japanese, says a lot. This is a sign that bitcoin really can be an important tool that will defeat all negative opinions

I think that it is a great idea, Not only Slovenia has such a btc city. I have read an article about Russia and they also have such a city for mining crypto. In my opinion, every country should follow this example to benefit from crypto

Bitcoins can be mined and even made with money, but it will not always be profitable. The mining process is called mining. Thanks to it, there are transactions on the network, and thanks to the huge capacity it is impossible to crack. Doing alone mining is a senseless undertaking, since only one computer receives rewards. And since the competition is extremely high, the chances that it will be your PC are very low. It's like a chance to win the lottery.

The new virtual currency is not provided for anything, except by the demand of users. If interest falls, then the price for it, too, will go down with a stone. In other matters, the problem with security is inherent not only Bitcoins, all other crypto-currencies are also not provided with anything.

Means of circulation can be called an asset recognized by all members of society, which acts as an intermediary between different types of goods, and means of payment is the ability of such an asset to easily provide a mass settlement for any other assets. The ability to conduct a one-time deal for the sale of something with bitcoins does not mean that they are already money. I think that it is not stupid but risky

It is known that most of the undertakings lack real prospects and they, in fact, are the usual schemes of Ponzi. Is it any wonder that the official authorities were engaged in creating a legal framework for the regulation of ICO-campaigns. After all, attracting huge investment flows, they can create liquidity problems in the global financial market.

Pessimists suggest that bitcoin may collapse. Experts Saxo Bank does not exclude that the rate can rise to 60 000 dollars, and then sharply collapse to 1000 dollars. The probability of this scenario is estimated at 10%.

Bitcoin has almost become a financial tool for millions of people and big players. Because of this, its volatility in 2018, most likely, will fall. But do not forget that the course is influenced by other factors - for example, rumors of legalization or prohibition of bitcoin / mining / ICO in different countries. Therefore, the most experienced expert will not be able to predict the change in the rate with 100% certainty.

I agree with you. Stock index funds for bitcoin will have a greater impact on the market than bitcoin futures, which turned out to be quite contradictory. At the same time, the appearance of bitcoin-funds will provide institutional investors the opportunity to add to their portfolios the main crypto-currencies

I m not expert and in any case it is difficult to predict the price for 100%. However, I believe that it will increase at the end of 2018. I will stick to the long-term holding strategy and hope that this won't be in vain

in the near future the current picture will change radically, as digital currencies led by Bitcoin will emerge on the main economic arena to try to shift the power of traditional money everywhere. I am waiting for btc to become our new "dollar"

While US policy has focused on isolation from the outside world, Bitcoin continues its successful procession in the crypto-currency market as the main digital currency and already claims to be an alternative to the dollar as the main international currency. However, it is not stable now

It is necessary to assess the prospects of bitcoinfrom the point of view of the possibilities of its network, such as commissions and speed. But, the Ethereum crypto currency has a different set of characteristics by which it needs to be evaluated. The future of the Ether depends on the speed of development of its competitors, such as Cardano, and the success of the startups already started on its platform.

While the market is dominated by negative sentiment, traders are in no hurry to buy bitcoin. investors are afraid of another market collapse, which may occur after the publication of the results of the investigation of the US Justice Ministry about manipulating the prices for coins from the top ten of the rating.

Real stories associated with the circulation of cryco-currency bitcoins are rarely known - virtual electronic coins are designed to make financial relations between users anonymous and do not attract the attention of the state. However, there are cases when the secrecy of the crypto currency is violated and the finer points of electronic financial transactions are investigated by law enforcement agencies.

The crypto-currency market is badly affected by the news that comes from global politics and business: if before the advertising policy of Facebook had a negative impact, which prohibited advertising of crypto-currency and ICO, as well as sharply negative assessment of bitcoin by the Ministry of Finance of India, influenced the drop of bitcoin, then China on the blocking of websites related to trade in crypto-currencies.

When we talk about Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other crypto currency, neither the "Ponzi" nor the "pyramid" are completely accurate descriptions of how these systems actually work. Traditional Ponzi schemes are usually managed by a central operator , who is responsible for attracting new funds and paying out a certain algorithm. Schemes collapse when the claims exceed the amount of funds deposited, so that the scheme operator can not satisfy investors' requests, causing a loss of confidence or a massive outflow that undermines the liquidity of the system.

Let's look at a simple transaction using bitcoin: Cindy buys a necklace from Susan and pays it in bitcoins. To ensure the authenticity of bitcoin, miners rush to verify the transaction. Whoever has time to do this first will receive bitcoins as a reward. This is a very simple example, but it in general describes the actions of bitcoinners.

If bitcoin grows to $ 15,000, it will overtake the next most high-turnover currency - the rupee. The other four currencies ahead of bitcoin are the yen, the yuan, the euro and the dollar, all of which have a much larger volume of currency in circulation (for example, for the dollar this figure is 1.4 trillion dollars).
