Yes it can absolutely change the world, but that is only going to happen if everybody gets on board and adopts it. No matter how great the invention, adoption is critical to that inventions success. If people didn't adopt motor engine vehicles we would still be rolling around in horse carriage today!

Haven't even heard of Bitcoin Hush until, must have been super hush hush huh? . Even Bitcoin Private has opened up on coinmarket and it isn't doing well, I thought it would reach 3 figures for at least a couple of days...

But then why did they wait so terribly long to do anything with regulation regarding Bitcoin? It is not like Bitcoin was released yesterday or 5 years ago, it has been out for above 9 years now which is ample time to come up with some regulation. Governments are lazy, lets not sugar coat the reality now.

Technology is pretty important but I tend to focus on the project itself and what they are trying to undertake. Call me a tree hugger but I like helping out this world and will tag along with any project that is trying to do that. Makes it harder to make decisions sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I just watched a video on CNBC and it was describing how ICOs are different from hardforks. They aren't that bad with their news reporting anymore which leads me to believe people won't be as naive in taking the other end of a fork.

There isn't one, that is the nature of open source creating. If there was a database we would be centralizing things again, nothing stops you from using the symbols either. As you can see there are tons of Bitcoin and Ethereum clones, all using similar logos.

It isn't anything more than a buzzword to get you hooked I believe. If there is any merit to it I certainly haven't heard of this before and I have been here for quite a bit of time now. I don't claim to know everything though but the generation thing feels like how blockchain has the past couple of hears. All hype, no meaning behind it.

Signed up for sig campaign, but the couldn't get the avatar too work. It said it was too wide and big, could you please fix it up so I can add it up? ty

All that, just so you could get cheaper Bitcoin? Well done to you OP, I hope you scooped up some 6k Bitcoin in early February you deserve it for your consistent work on this thread. Way to drive fear home into the minds of those who can't critically think. Don't need a white knight to save us though, just sell all your Bitcoins and somebody will gladly take them. I would bet a lot of money though, that you FUDDED hard publicly then privately scooped the dip. I say well played and incredibly smart of you, oh and on the off chance you believe all this. Way to eat the spoon the media has been feeding the mainstream!

Wouldn't airdrop just be classified as a gift you received from somebody? Disregarding the structure of the token or the coin I believe that is how we should view it. If the token or coin however, is paying dividends then most certainly it would be classified as a security.

Outright ban would be completely stupid because they not only don't get to tax whatever Bitcoins would get reported but you also push the economy underground and stop no trading. Everything would become p2p and would just avoid exchanges completely. The only way to stop Bitcoin is to stop the internet, and yeah good luck with that!

Currently Bitcoin hasn't helped me a whole lot, although I have been able to pay minor things here and there. The real help will come when either I can spend my Bitcoin at almost any merchant shop or when I can take some funds out, both are still on the horizon still but I anxiously await those days.

Which is unfortunate because if those panic investors had remained they probably would stand to gain a lot. But then again we need them so that the smarter investors can make the lions share of profit. I go back and forth on whether I want quality users in Bitcoin right now, all I know is that I want quality in the end.

We would be so lucky to reach above 50k this year end, I would more or less not have to work for a while. But in any case I don't care much I am here for the long haul 5 years+ and in that time we will achieve multiple trillions of market cap in the overall market I believe, of which Bitcoin itself will have above 1 trillion market cap.

I just gonna say if the recession is caused by the banks, or mismanaging of fiat currencies then our industry stands to gain a lot. Think about it if your government is corrupt (maybe not 1st world) and they begin printing tons of money to bail out banks and themselves, the first thing you are going to think is how can I protect my assets? I say because this is how most recessions happen and I don't foresee war on the horizon. For that reason I believe it is more likely BTC will gain during a recession than lose during a recession. Obviously one big factor on this is how educated people are about governments, money, and the crypto space. If they have limited knowledge, they may not even know pulling out is best. That is why I say it is more likely, but I certainly don't rule out the sheep not making the correct play in this spot and getting fleeced yet again.

Just be excited that the European Union is ready to regulate crypto, if that isn't bullish news I don't know what is. Because at that point in time I believe USA will look to their European counterparts and think something along the lines of we can't be last in this space. I expect most of the nastiest stances against Bitcoin to come out this year, ergo moving ahead I am mega bullish.

I thought the volatility was mainly concerned with the amount of total market cap for Bitcoin. I realize new players entering and exiting can have an effect as well but if we can reach a 6 figure or even better a 7 figure price tag, won't that in itself curb most of the volatility? Perhaps I got that twisted, but please enlighten me if so!

The more stringent vetting process will make it such that only legitimate ICOs get funding and are viewed as real projects which will happen, but at the same time you will have numerous amounts of joke projects or launching coins just for the sake of it. Those coins and projects will be known as the "joke" ones and they won't get any funding or be taken seriously. I am okay with both things happening in the market, as long as there is a distinction between the two. The main thing we need from all this is protecting investors, and ridding the industry of scams it is that simple.

10% is still too high of a number for me, I was thinking in between 2-5% of the projects currently. That means my range of projects I think that should exist beyond this year is 30-75, however there will be tons of smaller market coins which means the # of coins will be infinite. The number of projects that are worthwhile will be under 100, but the # of actual coins out there in existence? I believe that number will be ever growing and one day will surpass hundreds of thousands if not a million coins. They won't be for the global economy, but rather there will be coins based off local book groups, and board game clubs, and whatever else. The limits are endless, but the progression will be an interesting one for sure.

This, I wouldn't trust an online wallet, or an exchange wallet for a moment. Never put your security in anybody else's hands, always protect yourself and your hard earned money. All I can say is I wish these leeches would wake up one day and see the damage they do, and then learn to become normal people.

Coinigy and tradingview are the only two sites that I know that are like this. I never used that aspect of the Coinigy account though, I just used the account for TA and that was that. I will say this though, having that much access to that many graphs as well as indicators hard to go wrong for that price. All you have to do is execute one trade well and it pays for itself, not terribly tough to do if you ask me!
