I'm not an expert but Bitcoin is primarily a payment system/currency while Ethereum is more a platform for blockchain applications and smart contracts, with Ether being the token used.

Ethereum gain a lot of momentum lately when Microsoft and other big tech companies said they were going to get on board and start creating platforms for developers to create Ethereum based applications and private blockchains based on Ethereum. If ETH does become the standard for this sort of thing I expect the price of Ether to rise significantly. There may still be an opportunity to get in.

1. You can exchange bitcoin for fiatskis through an exchange
2. you can use a bitcoin debit card which allows immediate conversion from bitcoin in your debit account to local currency
3. you assume that nobody will ever start accepting bitcoin at POS. If bitcoin continues to gain momentum I think you can expect more and more retailers (online first, then brick and mortar) to start accepting btc payments.

Bitcoin has a set supply that slowly dwindles until there is no more being made, can't remember the exact amount.

Mining them is useless but the way it works is a bunch of computers are putting their processing power together to verify whether or not the transaction being sent is legitimately being sent from the owner of those coins, loads of transactions are all put into a block, that block is mined by miners and the transaction fees from each of those transactions is dispersed among those who mine the block. Wala decentralized currency.

You still can but you'll need specialized hardware to do it effectively. ASCII miners run for 250-500 for some serious power. You should expect to get a few hundred coins per year with a decent rig, most likely far more. Then you just sit on them for a few years and boom. You're sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars. People get freaked out by them because they dont think they'll hold any sort of permanent value but a single bitcoin is already worth more then an oz of gold. They got some serious clout.

I think I know why. A valueless digital currency has no use, and a currency that decreases in value is also not as useful, apparently. So it is a self fulfilling prophecy. People want a currency that goes up in value, and as long as they use it and are ok with what it is doing, it will keep going. Bitcoin can keep going forever, because people simply will keep adding zeros, like hyper-deflation!.

It's a cryptographic hash. It uses the processing power of miners to confirm and record transactions.

Don't bother mining. It requires an extreme amount of both time and electricity (and by consequence, money invested). On top of that, it takes forever to mine a single bitcoin. It's more of an industrial thing, or unless you're a zergling using botnets to exploit innocent people's GPU to fraudulently mine bitcoin.

1. Run mining program.
2. Bitcoin protocol is set so someone will solve and finds a block approximately every 10 minutes. Finding a block awards you the block reward, which is currently 12.5 BTC. Your chances of finding a block are directly related to the portion of total bitcoin hash-rate you control.
3. At this point, total bitcoin hash power is terrabajillion, so you aren't discovering a block on your own. You can join a mining pool and receive a portion of the pool's profits, but again, that's going to be almost nothing as your hardware sucks ass.
