The threat of the collapse of the economy already triggered cryptocurrency adoption because they know that if there will be an economic collapse then they are ready because they already put their money in their precious investments that can survive this economic collapse and that is by investing into some solid cryptocurrency like bitcoin.
I'm as bullish on crypto as anyone but if you really want to protect against a collapse you would put most of your money into gold, guns, and alcohol. I just hope they don't use the guns and alcohol combined after they miss the Bitcoin train reaching $ 100k!

Got a shorter video with highlights / digest of what was discussed?

Ripple is a centralized crypto run by banks.
It's everything cryptocurrencies are NOT supposed to be.
Might as well just buy a VCC or rechargeable credit card. If you're going to use centralized bank-issued currency then just buy traveler checks.

Anything is possible as long as there's enough money and power involved.
No organization in the US, not even Congress, messes with the Fed. Because nobody messes with private banks.
So if these folks decide to wage a war on crypto, it's going to be ugly. It could include attacks on exchanges as well.
Bittrex now has a International version made for non-US customers. So exchanges always have a way to comply.

What's the value proposition behind BNB? To serve as a token within the Binance ecosystem.
I don't see this having worldwide reach unless Binance incorporated the other 10 or so large exchanges and BNB became the de-facto crypto reserve currency.
I see useful tokens like BAT as having much more value potential, they're actually good for a commercial intent.

You guys monitoring BAT?
Seems like Brave browser installations are over 10 million on app store.
What's your opinion on BAT?
Its still a big concern for me, and until now i am not participating in BAT, am i too late for this coin to participate? almost all of my friends do own a BAT in their portfolio? Not too late IMO. I came in to the BAT party late too. BAT is currently ranked top 20something in CMC. I see coins above it with no purpose in life, no use. BAT has a strong use case and software being produced daily. Take cardano for instance. They haven't been able to move their software forward to phase 2, it's been delayed almost 2 years. BAT on the other hand, via Brendan Eich and his team, are ticking off to-do items daily. Their software releases are timely and constant. I think it's a great project TBH. Just my opinion though, perform your own due diligence and only invest what you can afford to lose.

~It is really sad that we are been manipulated and the banks and our governments Conspire against us. I started to read a book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki recently and the tittle is "Conspiracy of the rich" it is from this book that I began to understand how the money we are working for the whole of our life is been channel to enrich the rich. This rich men control almost all the central bank of the world and they can easily print money as they want and that is the same money we workhard to get.
There is no conspiracy of the kind you've mentioned. Banks and governments are not united in some kind of struggle against working people, but rather those institutions are competing with each other, and they are more like enemies to one another than friends. It's just the capitalist economic system works this way, and we have nothing better yet, so we have to endure it. Regarding Robert Kiyosaki, it's funny you've mentioned him in this context, because he is the rich. If anything, I would blame him in attempts to keep the slaves stupid, because, being educated himself, he published his book, If You Want to Be Rich and Happy, Don’t Go To School, encouraging parents not to send their children to college and make them enter the real estate business instead. You'd be right if it weren't for one slight detail: central banks is where the union between banks and governments happens. If banks were totally isolated from government you'd be right. But they aren't. The chiefs of monetary policy (printing money) in the world's largest economies are....private bankers! The Fed is mixed, totally independent and almost private but subject to US Congress oversight. Anyway, Congress will never mess with the Fed. The fact that the world is sitting on hundreds of trillions of dollars in debt that will never get paid should have been dealt with by Congress. It's a threat to the US itself if its currency becomes a joke. But nobody ever reigned the bankers in, quite the contrary, when the bankers destroyed the system, the government bailed them out. The central banking system is a ponzi which feeds on newer generations. Young blood is needed to keep the pyramid going.

Storing your gold in another country is like giving your Bitcoin private keys to someone else.
It defeats the purpose of holding something as a reserve.
Anyway it's interesting to see nations take their gold seriously again. The Fed toy money system is near collapse. More and more people are becoming aware of it.

Wow the replies of this thread are even more interesting than the original post. I have never been so aware of the inflation as ai am now in my adult hood, but yeah i prefer saving my money in crypto, at least $100 fiat monthly i started in the depresion of the last year and right now everything looks greener, i think it was a good time for doing so.
I only read about how our modern financial system works after I was 30 years old. I couldn't have imagined that our system was so childish. We see 400 page books trying to explain wealth inequality when all you need to do is understand how money is printed to see why wealth will continue to build up in the financial sector in a 100 to 1 proportion to everyone else. The reason? They print money for themselves! Well, Duh! Banks went bankrupt in 2008 so they printed money for themselves. Nice eh? If you did this in any kind of board game, it'd be called cheating. If you're the treasurer in a Monopoly game and you steal money, everyone will call you out. But people don't call out the obvious scam in the real world. Why? Because the elephant is so immense nobody has the courage to. These people printed over U$ 300 trillion in nonexistent value (debt that will never get paid, ever). You work 9 to 5 for some of this money. They just print money. Bankers don't need to be concerned about weekend money, they just print a billion dollars out of thin air if they need to.

Rumours that hedge funds and other equity funds will start buying BTC.
|
|

where is going this BAT? why price still rise? most altcoins down but BAT is rising
I think BAT will reach top 10 sometime in 2019. It's actually a token with a purpose and online advertising is a gigantic industry. The sheer number of Brave browser downloads in app stores is stunning too.

Just wait until regulated hedge funds start buying Bitcoin in large scale.
The $20k all time high will look like a joke!
It's a quantum leap that's coming. Proper regulation will attract more investors, more investors will attract more miners. Value grows exponentially.

I was told BAT has a reward program for using their brave brower, but will need any assistance on how to about it. I downlaoded the application on my PC, it kept installing and taking too mcuh time, had to stop it, would love to hear your experience on the time required for the installation. I use Window 10.
If you have a stable Internet and an average computer power, then the browser should be installed within 5-10 minutes. If you are unable to install it, you can contact the developers for help: https://community.brave.com/Should be as easy as installing Chrome. If you ever ran Chrome then Brave's gonna be a stroll in the park.

After the Fed, ECB, BoJ and PBoC printed over U$ 300 trillion in debt (free money because this debt will never get paid) now non-reserve currency countries want to join the party too. Argentina is printing free money for their own purposes: https://twitter.com/dlacalle_IA/status/1119660655005634565"The big guys are doing it, why can't we do it too?" Why does the US get to print money to save their banks? Why does China pump their stock market by printing more money whenever the stocks dip? This may be the beginning of the new crash: every country out there decides they want to do quantitative easing too. US banks got bailed out, why can't governments get bailed out? See where this is going?

As I understand it we are talking about this browser: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/basic-attention-token/ . But I did not understand how they monetize traffic, everything is written epic. In fact, this is the same chronium with the function of blocking advertising of other sites, and thanks to the extension that is in the browser, its own ads are shown. Growth token is possible, but it is likely that this will happen when using cryptocurrency everywhere. I was told BAT has a reward program for using their brave brower, but will need any assistance on how to about it. I downlaoded the application on my PC, it kept installing and taking too mcuh time, had to stop it, would love to hear your experience on the time required for the installation. I use Window 10.
This reminds me of when BAT was fluctuating in price. It was very good for trading. Well, it has not yet ended. The most opportunity I have seen about this coin is that, it is good for long term investment. Not only because of its use case,but also because of a working team.
Well I hear many many positive response about brave browser recently And also their payment for content creator is the most interesting Altough brave browser need to clean the cheater.
Has anyone some experience to share about how much you can possible earn per month by using the BAT browser?

You cant earn, but you can spend. Thats a good way to "sponsor" some of your favourized channels. Getting BATs for watching adds... Read somewhere its not worth it, maybe a few cents per day. Thank you all for your replies! I see most the feedback about BAT is really positive. This is a good sign for this crypto! I thought I'd see a bit more criticism about it, but overall the community seems enthusiastic about Brave and BAT. Their rewards program is not running everywhere yet, only a few countries. When the final version goes out it'll be global. I think a lot of people will buy BAT then to publish ads. Also another question that was asked: there is no withdrawal now because they're giving away BAT. They don't want people to get free BAT and sell it. They want it to be used for tipping and ad testing. So for now you can't withdraw, but it will allow withdrawals in the final version. Well I confess I'm more excited about BAT after reading this thread.

Well it's quite simple.... Buy and buy more BTC. It's a simple way to earn money and take advantage of bull Run to the fullest. But also be alert and don't put that money which you cai afford to loose. Sometimes bull Run is just a mirage created by big fishes and ultimately market sack down hardly.
It's not just that. Get several fully authorised accounts on different exchanges. Prepare your selling plan for the next bull run. Get ready with cold storage and don't panic. The logarithmic chart and the network effect are our friends. And this is a chart from 2017 Well you'd need to draw the start of that line from 2009 prices and not from a random spot in 2012! The slope would be much lower than that.

i do not understand exactly what customer owned exchange is. but i dont like the idea that an exchange that i use is being owned by anybody. what about decentralized exchange platforms? arent they better?
All exchanges are own buy a certain person. Have done any research at all? I like the idea since I think that every shareholder holds a key so that the coins there won't just come to waste especially when an unexpected thing happen to the one holding the key just like what happen to the Canadian exchange which its owner dies. Not necessarily. An exchange could be owned by no one if it were fully decentralized. A community could work on a smart contract, for example, publish it and the contract goes on forever without an owner. In fact IIRC there was an attempt at a fully automated DEX with no owner under Ethereum but I think it was too slow and couldn't be used for real trading.

Banks are adopting bitcoin.
Afghanistan and Tunisia are adding Bitcoin into their sovereign reserves!
It's going to explode. One country from EU to announce anything of the kind and price goes to U$ 50k

Yeah I wonder how these metrics will be measured after lightning takes over a significant amount of transactions. There'll probably need to be a decentralized statistics protocol that lightning network nodes should update every 10 minutes so we know how much BTC was transacted. Interesting to watch where this is going.
