Couple of things I omitted, because they were too obvious:

1. Cash transactions were insignificant compared to BTC transactions. So regulations will hit large money movement that is untraceable.
2. Alt-coin falling will hit BTC because BTC doesn't differentiate itself from the pack, in terms of being used for money laundering etc.

1) Once all countries ban ICOs, the alt-coin space will be gone, including Ethereum.
Why would they ban ICOs, and why would that affect BTC?
2) Any bitcoin holdings might be considered illegal in a couple of years, due to money laundering and funding of criminal activities.
So cash was made illegal hundreds of years ago by that logic?
3) Too much regulation might be imposed that removes all anonymity and privacy making the coins unsuitable for any legal business transactions. All wallets and addresses might need to be registered with the authorities.
So it's both illegal and regulated?  Also, how does privacy make it unsuitable for business transactions when bank transactions are completely transparent and used for most of them already?
4) Crypto coins will be pretty much limited to what they are meant for - just tokens to facilitate faster fiat transactions, but not to have any monetary value for tokens themselves. Ripple and some other coins are heading this way already.
Ripple is centralised and should not be regarded as a "crypto coin".  You do not understand the purpose of cryptocurrencies.

If you're going to make negative statements about cryptocurrencies, please research them.  So far it looks like you have no clue what you're talking about and you're even contradicting yourself.

Where do you buy 1 bitcoin for $475? .... I think you left out a zero at the end, my friend. Bitcoin was $400 when I started a

few years ago, and you will probably never see that price again. If you incredibly lucky someone might make a typo error and

you will buy it for that price. Get ready to wait.... it's going to be a long time. Your excuses to buy, will prevent you to make

huge profits.  Wink

China banned ICO's, and it does look like it has some effect on btc's price.

For what we've been seeing, you're going to have a hard time in seeing that order of yours fulfilled.

Regarding 1), Bitcoin has nothing to do with ICO and scams, so I don't really see how this could affect its price.

Regarding 2), there are no grounds to illegalize Bitcoin. If that happened, other things such as fiat, commodities and stocks should be illegalized too. I don't see that working Cheesy

3) Hindering regulation can be imposed, but I don't see how it would affect the pseudo-anonymous nature of Bitcoin. New addresses are created every second on the network, how would someone keep track of all?

4) Cryptocurrencies are supposed to "1 up" fiat. You can have a go about reading what they're all about and you'll see what I mean Smiley

I think it is still bit a high side, but I'm willing to take the risk for just one coin.

Reasons why I think $475 is justified:

1) Once all countries ban ICOs, the alt-coin space will be gone, including Ethereum. The physical Ether that filled the space during 18th century was ofcourse always imaginary.

2) Any bitcoin holdings might be considered illegal in a couple of years, due to money laundering and funding of criminal activities.

3) Too much regulation might be imposed that removes all anonymity and privacy making the coins unsuitable for any legal business transactions. All wallets and addresses might need to be registered with the authorities.

4) Crypto coins will be pretty much limited to what they are meant for - just tokens to facilitate faster fiat transactions, but not to have any monetary value for tokens themselves. Ripple and some other coins are heading this way already.

Considering the above, I'm not sure if should really spend $475 for this virtual coin, but  do have that much money to gamble. So let's have some fun!
