"The total cryptocurrency market sits at around $500 billion. But the institutional funds need the market to hit $1 trillion before they can start investing heavily.

You have to have a Bitcoin wallet that you hold the private keys to (much like your bank account that you have the PIN to). You give that wallet address (which is public but doesn't identify you as the owner) to the party you want to send or receive payment from. The transaction is not reversible once it is written on the blockchain. There is something called "smart contracts" that you can deploy with certain coins that can be written into the transaction whereby certain criteria has to be met by both parties to complete the transaction.
Edited to add: There are QRS codes associated with your different wallet addresses also. If paying in person, you can scan the code on someone's phone and type in the amount you want to send/receive and then do the transaction.

If you were clueless about stuff like that could someone take bitcoin back from you after you delivered on your end?
The only way you can convert it to fiat dollars right now is to 1) transfer it to your Coinbase or Gemini exchange account and sell for fiat or 2) find someone locally to pay you cash for your cryptocurrency.
You could use the crypto to purchase on online platforms such as Overstock.com, Provident metals, APMEX, and many other that take crytpo payments.
If you were clueless about stuff like that could someone take bitcoin back from you after you delivered on your end?
No, if it's not a smart contract where both parties had a input on how the transaction and conditions should occur, transactions are irreversible. A direct transaction (not a smart contract) from me to you is irreversible.

I can definitely see the benefits of crypto, however, I have been saying for years that government regulation will render much of the crypto market obsolete. The whole point of crypto was to be free of the current monetary system and governments and regulators won't allow that to happen...they want their piece of the pie too. China and South Korea have recently pumped the brakes on exchanges....the online way of converting crypto to $$$$. I bet you that a lot of the 2016/2017 run up was by: Russians, Venezuelans, North Koreans and others who are sanctioned by OFAC.

I'm up and running a tiny 22MH/s@175watts mining Ethereum. It's $2.50 a day on spare parts. I should be able to use up to 450 watts/hour and not flip the meter back to paying for power. (I've got a big solar array). If I can underclock the miner, find more and mod the video cards bios's to dual mine for two different cyptos I should be able to pull $7.50/day for basically the effort in the learning curve. If I lived in cold weather I'd have a nice room heater too. But I'm in AZ (82° yesterday) so the miner will be in the shop till it's to hot to run.
I finally got a used rx580 video card for cheap. Did the new thermal paste and Frankin-fan install. Fired up the bios editor and safely tweaked that puppy to 30Mhs. Added that to the de-tuned rx570 running at 19Mhs and it's an easy cheap $400 mining rig at 49Mhs using 200 watts. I've got another 200 watts to spare before I'd be paying all the fees the power company hits you with when you use more than you give.
I may make it sound easy but it's a learning curve of research. Then when it works it's a real rush that makes me want more. Been running 19Mhs for a while now and have 30 some bucks in ETH but that's going to change quickly at this new rate. I'll ROI in 10 weeks and it's gravy from there. Plus I still have nice gaming video cards that always have good resale. Back to ebay, and craigslist for another cheap card. I'll like to do 80Mhs. Got a feeling it's not going to end.

The miner itself bursting into flames probably not because modern components have thermal cutoffs or throttling built in. But the plug to the wall is problematic and we've all seen that one plug with the burned connector thingy in our lifetimes. The rig pictured above draws the limit of a standard breaker circuit and there are a few outlets on one circuit, so you watch for that. Good power cords (heavy duty 12ga) are preferred because they do get warm.
That's why every circuit is protected by an overcurrent breaker with properly sized wiring. The danger lies in the size of the wire between the wall outlet and the mining rig. Too much current through too small a wire and poof.

Looks to be an interesting weekend into monday for BTC and other cryptos. Futures expired without much chaos. Charts are flagging out and prices are pressure squeezing in a steady range. Blow off or take off? You all probably know by now where my $$$ is.
I predict a big 3rd wave up here shortly to upper $20K/lower $30K. Hold on.

I'd imagine the big miners are cashing out of BTC. There are huge mining farms churning profit into equipment and the moment crypto starts to fall they re-evaluate and move from one coin into another. All the while keep a keen eye on the re-sale value of the miners (high-end video gaming cards).
Even the Ethereum I mine has fallen 30% in three days. But, its algorithm has a correcting factor built in that deals with the ''difficulty factor'' somehow so it has shown to be less susceptible to major swings profitability wise.
Then how is the price being driven down? I don't understand that one!
Suppose you have 9 people bidding for something between a price of 95 and 100, and one person bidding 50. The first 9 folks decide they dont want to bid anymore and leave the table. The next bid is therefore 50. The price just fell 50% and not a single trade was made.
Folks think there must always be heaving selling to drive prices lower, when usually it is a dearth of buyers that cause lower prices. Think silver in 2011.
What that tells me is that there was a dearth of buyers at an artificially high price. Surely there are millions of participants in the bitcoin market now, and that being the case, the price ought to be fairly liquid, but you're saying it is not. (Unless of course, everyone already knows that it's a Ponzi, which they do.) One big game of "chicken".

First you have to rid yourself of this notion of "artificial". There is nothing artificial about the price that was paid. That price is true. You may not agree with the reasons that led to that price, but it is not an artificial price.
Of course there are millions of participants, I tried to keep it simple. Everyone has a price at which they are willing to pay and that price changes continuously. Eventually there becomes an inequilibrium. Markets are dynamic. Just because I am willing pay 10,000 today doesn't mean I'll pay that tomorrow. I haven't left the market, but I'm adusting my willingness to participate.
The price of bitcoin is liquid, just at a lower level.
Bitcoin's $20,000 bubble mania peak of Mid December that valued the crypto currency at $320 billion has long since been left in the dust as Bitcoin has crashed well below $10,000, wiping out $170 billion of the value of participants holdings. All whilst the crypto coin gamblers obsessed by all things block chain have largely remained in a state of denial, focused on bitcoin soaring to over $50,000 despite its real inverse trend trajectory as tends to happen at the end of market manias.Yikes is the mania over
True that bitcoin has bounced back some. But... the IRS will not be denied. Coinbase will now be turning over 13,000 customers' information to The IRS; On Friday. Coinbase told the around 13,000 affected customers that the company would be providing their taxpayer ID, name, birth date, address, and historical transaction records from 2013-2015 to the IRS within 21 days.
Coinbase’s letter to these customers encourages them “to seek legal advice from an attorney promptly” if they have any questions.
Users should have nothing to worry about... unless they cashed in bitcoins (purchases, trades, etc.) at an increased value over what they bought them for. Any increase in value is likely to be looked at by the IRS as 'income' and should thus have been reported as such to the IRS....
