So you want to take blockchain which is in nature open, borderless, decentralized, transnational, transparent technology and make it opaque, censored, geopolitical, and so forth? Doesn't seem like it is what I signed up for and I would never invest or get involved with a centralized government coin.

Isn't upcoming anymore but it just completed and it is called CryptoImprovementFund (CIF). They will be launching either on Jan 30 or Feb 1 and listing on coinexchange, I liked the concept of their project a lot.

That alt is seemingly popular as of late also I have heard many good things about Pearl. These two projects seem to be the hottest ones in 2018, I wonder which one will end up on top.

I like the concept of being anonymous and so I go wherever this is possible. Currently I can get that done at Binance, Poloniex, EtherDelta, Mercatox, and a few more. Out of those top exchanges Binance is only that trades a lot of coins and has the anon aspect therefore it is the current best in my view.

TenX and DeepOnion would be my two sleepers for the year, and Byteball would be a close 3rd given the tech is phenomenal there.

Honestly it sucks to lose but being stubborn doesn't help your cause either. And it does suck to admit which of your bags isn't as good as the others but you gotta look at the situation honestly. That is the only way you are getting out of this in the best shape. If some of your bags are no good get rid of them now before they become bigger losers and also not every bag can be a mooning bag you know so just keep that in mind don't get your expectations too high. And yes I have sold a coin a -50% before and it was the best decision I made on that coin.

Also lets not forget it is a P2P network which means you could send the funds to somebody you know who could in turn buy you anything for that amount. Literally then the options are endless and you can buy whatever you like this way:P.

I would avoid getting scammed the couple of times it happened and undo those mistakes for sure . Other than that trading has been decent for me it started out shaky but once I understood a few things things got easier. All in all, I am really happy with where I am right now and think in 2018 I will have a better trading year yet  .

Don't know what pioneering means in this sense but if it means investing then yeah I am one of those people. Don't know about Storiqa but I am heavily bullish on Polymath mainly because they will be first-movers if get the job done and that is powerful in an new industry.

They are reducing but what some people have conveniently left out is that the price of bitcoin is nearly halved in that time as well. That to me is important because % wise I don't think things have gotten much better.

Is this supposed to make us feel bullish long term about crypto adoption? I mean I am already as bullish as can be if I think crypto is going to get integrated even more into society they will start calling me a crypto maximalist. Is it incorrect if it is the truth though, because I don't see a society in the future that doesn't have blockchain and crypto as a part of it.

Never too late to participate in the market we are still in quite a young phase overall I would say maybe one third of the progression there meaning there is tons of time and room for growth. Also you may be late to the bitcoin party but there are over 1k+ cryptocurrencies which means there are tons of party which you can be early to or even be the first one at, happy hunting good luck .

Don't make your basis and claims for what is going to happen off one event. A singular event won't change bitcoin and the outlook but a multitude of events that coincide with one another. That said though, I would probably not cash out at this point the long term sentiment appears to be bullish yet.

Impossible? Did we learn nothing when the market went from 5k to 3k, and from 3k to 1800, and from 19k to 10k? It appears that the market can do whatever it wishes at the whim of those who are involved and I have no reason to believe it simply cannot dip to 8k. Anything is possible, and as much as I hate to admit it, bitcoin could be at 8k in less than 2 days from now it is that volatile.

When it is tough to say when because the progression of the bitcoin graph is stochastic in nature meaning it is random and unpredictable. Knowing this it is impossible to predict when it will recover but the better question is will it recover? And I believe firmly yes it will recover and the estimated timeline I give for this is two months at maximum.

  Thread is about Sether dude not TON and even then TON will most likely suck. I however have high hopes for Sether as well, but kind of don't like that McAfee is on board with it everything that guy touches seems iffy.

Where can we get more information is there a slack, reddit, discord, or telegram for this? I would love to learn more it is exciting having more proper lending platforms out there. Also how do we know they are legit before putting our funds there?

You gotta be joking right? You need not be an English literature but you must add to the discussion. Today or yesterday alone you had 30 posts and not one of the eclipsed two lines. Furthermore most of them were 2-3 word sentences that again added nothing to the discussion. I am not saying what happened was warranted but if you up the quality of your posts and post less frequently you may stand a chance to get that trust removed. Good luck to you

Really hard to conceive that banks will disappear because they have been around since we were born and thus it hard to imagine society without the status quo. I won't go as far as saying it won't ever happen but I don't think they will stop existing any time soon, but their capacity could definitely be reduced.

Bitcoin is not that bad, botcoin I don't know about maybe it is . I don't know if they see something bad to me it seems they are against innovation and we all know how that goes (they will join ship eventually). In short, yes they can locate you but they would need to use a mass amount of resources to do so and unless you are doing something insanely illegal you don't have to worry about the authorities.
