For example, I got bitcoin in coinbase, what happens if coinbase stops updating their system and just let it abandoned until it dies and shuts down? What guarantees do I have that Ill have my bitcoins in there in 5 years?

Cobalt: BFT Governance in Open Networks
Ethan MacBrough
https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07240

(Submitted on 20 Feb 2018)
We present Cobalt, a novel atomic broadcast algorithm that works in networks with non-uniform trust and no global agreement on participants, and is probabilistically guaranteed to make forward progress even in the presence of maximal faults and arbitrary asynchrony. The exact properties that Cobalt satisfies makes it particularly applicable to designing an efficient decentralized "voting network" that allows a public, open-entry group of nodes to agree on changes to some shared set of rules in a fair and consistent manner while tolerating some trusted nodes and arbitrarily many untrusted nodes behaving maliciously. We also define a new set of properties which must be satisfied by any safe decentralized governance algorithm, and all of which Cobalt satisfies.

 CRYPTO MINING

How to Mine Litecoin and other Altcoins
https://www.coindesk.com/information/how-to-mine-litecoin/
 Cryptocurrency Algorithms
https://bitcoinguide.online/a-list-of-cryptocurrency-algorithms/

How do some people still mine bitcoins in 2017?
The best way is very simple, you do it indirectly.

This can be achieved by mining Scrypt, x11, etc coins. These coins have the ability to generate perhaps 1000s per day. Miners are market makers and sell these new coins in the open market and in some cases reach 1000% gains in days. Most sell these coins on open exchanges for Bitcoin and thus they have indirectly mined to Bitcoin.

In 2014 I spoke to this here: Learn How To Mine Crypto Currency. From The Experts Who Do It. by Mike Townsend on Around The Coin from the http://AroundTheCoin.com podcast.

The coins of course have shifted since 2014 and rzr is no longer around but the premise is the same today.

Cryptopedia / ASIC Miners and Hashing Algorithms (SHA-256, Scrypt, X11)
https://www.tokens24.com/cryptopedia/mining/asic-mining-hashing-algorithm
There are two common types of ASIC miners, those that can mine SHA based coins like the Antminer S9 and those that mine Scrypt hashing algorithm based coins (see Antminer L3+).

“Every time you trade one digital currency for another, one token for another, it’s going to be a taxable event.”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-21/tax-free-bitcoin-to-ether-trading-in-u-s-to-end-under-gop-plan

Investors typically have to pay taxes on their short-term capital gains at their individual income rates, which will top out at 37 percent next year. The preferential long-term capital gains rate -- which tops out at 23.8 percent -- is owed when such assets are sold after a year.
