well the most important thing that they need to do is not to adapt but instead learning everything is related to computer.
because computer is the basic of the cryptocurrency itself.
so from my perspective,crypto indeed makes people smarter because they need to learn and how to operate computer perfectly.
also at the same time they need to care and protect it,so i assume people will try to understand how to clean the virus,protect it from the malware and many things.

in the end,people needs to know about computer itself.
with it,technology will be developed to whole new level i believe.

the main reason why he said it negatively due to his ego.
he's also an investor,because of that he needs to maintain his position and makes a proper action.
just imagine it,
if he said Bitcoin is a gold and it will become our future.
what will happen with other assets ? people will sell it for money and buy Bitcoin instead.
if they do that,Bill Gates will suffer a lot because his position will be reduced a lot by those sells.

for now he'll talk everything about Bitcoin negatively,but in a few years time later.
he will support it wholeheartedly.
it is all about time!

well this topic has been discussed before in UK and sadly they rejected it before.

i hope other country implement it and if they do that,others will follow after it.
nobody can deny the fact that it's our future in term of technology

Just say the fact that Fiat was used by criminal,corruptors and else before Bitcoin.
and tell them,it's just a tool for people.
so when people use it for something terrible,it can be considered as an illegal thing.
but if people use it on different thing such as buying or paying their needs,it can be considered as a legal.

legal or not,it's all about you.

before asking for an advice,i think it's much more better for you to describe it in detail.
because we do not know which one it is.
for example ;
right now you have STRATIS,and based on our current market its price went down for more than 40%.
so when is the best time to sell it ? right now or what ?
if you are holding it right now,i recommend you to hold it until at least early Oct or it's much more better to hold it until the end of the year.
why ? because right now Bitcoin showed us a sign,a good sign that it tried to reverse our current market.
the price might be declined a little bit for a couple days before,but it does not change the fact that it went up quite a lot compared to this dip.

so make your choice.

absolutely yes,
because these days the market started to regain its price,even though today the price declined quite a lot.
it does not change the fact that we're making a huge movement for a couple days before.
also based on our whole market scenario and movement,it's pretty obvious that we are trying to make a reversal in a few weeks time.
look at this ;

if you can afford to hold it at least for a couple months,why not ?
but if you can not,it is recommended to not touch it at this moment,or at least until it makes a breakout.

this might be related to:
- Quantity in circulation
- Distribution of the cryptocurrency : As Ethereum is more distributed due to ICOs
- Less willingness to hold

circulation and distribution are same which mean point 1 and 2 are same.
lately people very unwilling to hold it because the nodes kept dying from time to time,as we can see.
right now we need a lot of GAS to send our token from ETH network,and even though we used a 'sufficient' GAS to send it.
our token did not go through.
