Yes, but the level of discipline that it requires is really high. It's a very old market, with many experienced traders, and the most successful ones devote most of their time reading charts and trying to understand the events that move the economy.
You also can not expect profits like 30% in a few weeks, as we sometimes see in crypto. It's a market with much lower volatility, but the high liquidity and the set of techniques that can help you to make more accurate predictions can make it worthwhile.

You need two things to solve that problem: education and real jobs.

Education is pitiful in our society, and the market doesn't work how it should, because of taxes and stupid policies. If society doesn't mobilize to solve these things, there is no way things could get better.

Using the best that we have in terms of scalable technology and the feature for sending bytes via e-mail, it is the best example of innovation that I've seen in crypto lately. And if the distribution really ends this year, yeah, this can be a great year.

It surely can, but I guess we may not see the level of growth that we have seen last year, until we have something like Lightning Network going forward.

There is a large number of people who don't use or invest in Bitcoin because of the lack of regulation, so I think that if governments started to regulate Bitcoin, it would only benefit from it.

By that logic, holding gold or any other asset is also being greedy, just because you profit by holding it. If that's your definition of greedy, I see nothing wrong with that. However, I see it as choosing the best we have to preserve our wealth and diversify our net worth.

You won't know until someone pumps it.

It is both. Bitcoin is trying to deliver something that was once tried, centuries ago, with gold, when it was used as a currency.
With gold we know that it failed, but here we have a different scenario, since Bitcoin can not be controled by banks or governments. For the first time in centuries we are having the opportunity to have, again, something that might be able to succeed as a store of value and as a medium of exchange.

What I find incredible about Bitcoin is the way the network self-regulates, keeping the incentives for people to continue mining it, and at the same time providing a great product.

It is currently at more than 50% of Bitcoin's marketcap. I don't even know how it got to this point, but it might end up really bad.

With a quick search you will find out that ETH doesn't scale. And even if they solve the scalability part, which would require some alien type of tech, it's really hard to find real demand for decentralized smart contracts.

The only bad news that I recently saw is that Chinese government is closing some mining operations in China.
Looking from a different point of view, it is not a bad thing for Bitcoin, because it will make miners spread around the world, and therefore make Bitcoin more decentralized.

If it is what people say it is, I mean, just US Dollar sitting in some bank in Taiwan, there is probably nothing wrong about it. The only problem I see is that it is centralized, which is a point of failure.

Which currency can not? Just create two and a half billion tokens and sell each one at $1.

Market cap is not a good metric anymore, we need better parameters for valid benchmarking.

Do yourself a favor, and stop using freaking legacy addresses. Consolidate your funds in SegWit addresses instead.

Just find a good job, so you can make that amount per hour.

In cryptos, it depends on the project. The first thing to do is to ask yourself what this currency can do that Bitcoin can not. I would never buy an ICO, for risk management reasons.

It depends on the kind of return you're expecting. I would say that most people buying right now to make a quick buck will be disappointed. But long term, great things can happen. And you might not have to wait more than a year, since we are very close of having Lightning Network.

If your definition of better crypto depents on the speed of transactions, you might be better using your visa card. Bitcoin's strength lies in decentralization.

It is a market with much higher liquidity, but the volatility is much smaller compared to Bitcoin. So I guess it depends on the profile of the investor. People looking to make more profit in a shorter period of time are more likely to choose Bitcoin, but those with millions of dollars to invest will probably choose something more established, like the forex market.

Well, that's our goal, right? And we have the conditions to make that happen. Otherwise, hundreds of developers and ourselves would be wasting our time here. I myself would like to create a service to increase Bitcoin adoption, but that's for a future when I have more experience and capital available for that kind of investment.
