My personal opinion - bitcoin is not how can help the world economy. because it is an alternative to the existing banking system. But the very technology blockchain can be used in the global economy and give it a lot of advantages.

If I were a corrupt official or led a non-legal business, I would conduct my operations exactly in bitcoins. Firstly, no one would know how much I earn, secondly, no one could take my money away from me. the only concern is high volatility, but this is temporary.

Not a correct comparison, the fact is that a kilo of tomatoes will not buy expensive because of competitors who will offer a price lower, bitcoin has no competitors, so for him there can be a fair price of $ 100,000, in this situation popularity is important and not the value itself.

I completely agree with you, bitcoin is certainly very strong and brought a good profit to those who believe in him. As for the media, my opinion is that they absolutely do not care about the real state of affairs, their task is to make a sensation on an empty spot and thereby influence the market. That's all.

I believe that bitcoin has achieved its goal. As far as I understand its original purpose was to become an alternative financial system and compete with banks. Today, we can observe how the banks themselves begin to introduce into their work the technology on which bitcoin is built. Perhaps this was the goal.

Judging by all it is a question of that bitcoin is the sixth in the world coin for capitalization and in order to become the first coin he needs to gain a total capitalization more than the capitalization of the dollar. But this is not really feasible because it measures in dollars themselves and can not cost more than the world's volume of dollars.

Bitcoin is essentially the embodiment of blockchain technology and as with any technology it has a beginning and will end, but no one now will tell how soon it will happen, The fact is that gold and silver coins were replaced by paper money, which then changed to electronic ones, now we are witnessing the development of digital money technology, I think it's for a long time.

In order to see the prospects for development of bitcoins not only as a technology but also as a financial tool, it is important to watch a period of time not less than two years, then the growth of price and popularity will become evident. If you will assess prospects based on the last six months, then I think you will not get any objective information.

Buy all the extracted BTC is not possible. The fact is that when buying bitcoin, the price for the next becomes higher and so if you count it, the price for the last will be higher than the price for all the previous ones. So money all over the world just will not be enough.

Bitcoin is such an unpredictable asset that it is simply impossible to predict its growth, now many people sit in Alts who have fallen in price, and everyone expects that they will grow first, then BTC grows up, but I'm sure that the expectations of the majority simply will not be justified and bitcoin again will throw a lot of people. Thanks to this, the market lives.

With the fact that the financial tycoons have climbed this market and started playing their game I agree.  But why should the market fall? Fools will not end when, for example, the stock market has been for many decades, it is growing and falling, trillions of inexperienced traders lose money, but he is still alive. The same will be the case with the Crypto currency market.

Bitcoin is difficult for those who are trying to find something unusual in it. In fact, BTC is just as simple as the market for ordinary fiat money. there is no control center - I do not agree with this statement, how can you explain its behavior, controlled drop and controlled growth? everything has levers of control and somebody pulls at them.

In fact, nothing decisive this year will not. The price increase that we observed at the end of 2017 and early 2018 is not unique if we look not in terms of money but in percentage terms we will see that similar growths at BTC have already been. We observe the natural development of the crypto currency market and no more than that.

do not think about it too late or not. In the issue of investment, the main thing is to approach the business with understanding, do not invest in everything, it is important to conduct market analysis and outline your goals in advance, then there will be no problems

I believe that there is no investment without risks, the fact is that banks do not give a good percentage of profits, but there are fewer risks and there are state guarantees. Investments in BTC are more risky but also the potential profit is much greater.

Of course, it helps, for example, recently there have appeared a lot of companies from different countries that are implementing new interesting projects. They are quick to raise funds with the help of ICO, of course among them there are scammers, but in the majority these are qualitatively new projects that will significantly influence the world economy.

the fact that the market will come alive, there is no doubt, the question is in the other, who will shoot the first Bitcoin
 or Alts? personally I have a basic deposit in Alts and for this it would be good if they are the first to shoot.

Demand itself does not appear, the source of demand is important. The source of demand for the dollar is a peg to the world economy, through it, almost all payments in the world take place. Gold is a rare earth metal and possesses unique properties, besides it is not enough. The source of demand for BTC - it is not dependent on almost anyone, it is difficult to obtain, to send it from one user to another do not need intermediaries. If you remove these values ​​from the dollar, gold or bitcoin, the demand for these things will immediately fall.

In this issue it all depends on what point of view you are looking at bitcoin. As a currency, it is a tool for those who use it as payment for goods and services. For example, for traders who trade them on stock exchanges in order to sell expensive and buy cheap, this is most likely not a currency but an asset.

Private is when there is one who created and he is the controlling body, in our case, when speaking about bitcoin, we are dealing with an international project that does not belong to anyone. All manipulation of prices is the result of efforts by different groups of people to take control of the largest share of BTC.
