Guess we shall see.
As an aside does anyone else have NEO? Heard there's a chance that China will endorse and it'll become the Chinese version of Ethereum. It's anecdotal, so again take it for what it cost you. And for full disclosure I own some. |

Im thinking a big drop, possibly followed by a big rise, though not to new highs.
I doubt ripple will do much, and I'm fine with that. Get rich slowly. |

There are plenty of naysayers. Bitcoin is as just a digital currency. I can use it to pay bills, I can send it to people and I can convert it to cash. It is no different to what you use now. You pay your bills online, you swipe your card at the shops etc. So is your bank account digital currency until you convert it cash at an atm? Bitcoin is the same. And I have nothing to do with the dark web.

From the comments in article above..
So a national government or some political sub-unit (state, city, county, province, canton, etc.) is going to accept BTC to pay taxes? Because until that happens "fiat currency" isn't going to die. The whole thing is ridiculous. BTC is only useful as a way to buy illegal stuff and buy across national borders since no currency conversions are necessary. But BTC is a terrible store of value (kind of important for a currency) and because no one needs BTC (the way I need USD to pay my city, county, state, and federal taxes) it has no intrinsic value so there's always a risk it will be "myspace-ed" one day by a competing crypto currency like Ethereum. But I wish you early adopters well and please post up some cool rags to riches pics.

Wow that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I can pay my tax with my BTC. In fact, I can pay any company etc with a biller code.

Bitcoin is not the only crypto currency and they can be sold or bought at some ATM machine.

And more to come next year as all Hyosung ATM's will be Crypto Compatible.
The thing I like about paying a bill with Bitcoin is, next week I have more money than I started with. If the price drops I use normal currency. If the price is rising I use BTC.

Technically your plan above you could do with dollars... ...pay in cash when the value drops - use a credit-card when its rising.

Sell on an exchange. Coinbase and I think Gdax are the most popular (in the US at least), but there are other ones like Kraken and Poloniex that are good too.
