You sound like Trump or Bush Jr trying to give a purposefully dumbed down speech to appeal to the lowest common denominator and manipulate them into believing something that isn't true.

Fact:  It's 100% impossible to create a decentralized cryptocurrency because transaction validators are always designed to centralize through compound interest, economy of scale, foundry capital requirements, the fact adversarial mining is more effective against opponents with less hashpower, and numerous other variables.

Fact:  Since transaction validators are ALWAYS designed to centralize, bitcoin has zero fundamentals, and thus zero value because it's just a non-fungible, completely centralized, permissioned ledger prison system in the endgame, kind of like the digital banking system that already exists.

There is no reason to support this garbage whatsoever over physical silver or gold, which is a far superior settlement system and dual use currency at the same time.

If the miners are extracting information from a shared pool of transactions can the same transaction be in multiple blocks, and therefore be in the Blockchain multiple times?

E as 3 pools que controlam 50%+ do poder do BTC?

Outro ponto sobre as moedas estarem em tais endereços, alguns podem ser de exchanges, ou até mesmo de grandes projetos que receberam uma quantia gigante de ETH(ou outra).. ex: Tezos.. https://twitter.com/CryptOrca/status/884861999640870912/photo/1

It has also been mentioned by Vitalik that the users would need high configuration hardware and further the submission of at least 1,500 ETH to participate in Casper. However, nodes with less Ether would be able to participate in a pool by working together and sharing their profits.

Getting real tired of seeing this kinda shit.

How about we find stability at $10k first, for the love of FSM.

if the quantum computer is mass-produced , ordinary people can use it to calculate the private key of all bitcoin wallets and take away the bitcoin inside . bitcoin encryption algorithms need innovation . quantum computer mass production takes about 3 years .

First, I’d say that the OP´s title is obviously a deliberate oversighted generalization, since there are many users that don’t seem to give a dam about Merit (yet). There are tons of lower ranked users that post indiscriminately with total oblivion to Merit, it’s explicit goals (I figure there are implicit goals too) and what it is required for.

I would say that we have:
1)   Those that don’t know what Merit is: as stated above.
2)   Those that don’t give a rats ass about it: since they don’t aspire to rank high really, or simply don’t care about the whole scheme of things.
3)   The ones who do care about it but do not have the core competences to get more than a few merits at most.
4)   The ones that do care about it but, having enough skillsets, see it difficult to obtain.
5)   The ones that do care about it and set out for them regularly.
6)   The ones that do care about it, already have bags of them, and are good to go.
7)   The ones that do care about it, already have bags of them, and want more.

The ones that do care about Merit can do so due to multiple non-exclusive reasons:
a)   It is part of the ranking game and rank is a conceptual status and an aspiration.
b)   It is part of the ranking game and rank can bring some goodies in signature campaigns and perhaps lead to other opportunities too.
c)   It is a mechanism that at least tries to raise the stakes on posting content and bar low level posts.
d)   It is a challenge: where ranking up on it’s own due to activity could be done blindfolded, Merit is a cookie for the brain and personal ego. Merit is probably above rank in this case conceptually.
e)   It gives a sense of power over others.

We could probably add quite a few, but eventually the list will be a close one and we can all be clustered into groups with a common view on the matter. Views do evolve, so one shifts between groups over time. The weekly overall potential sMerit decrease could soon playout as a large player in viewpoint change.

Having set the above draft of cluster variables, I would say that I started in January 2018 as a clear  standalone “1”, soon move on to a “4b”, then on to a “5cd”, and currently reside at “4cd”.

Eu sempre deixo a taxa no padrão mesmo, a da carteira. Uma vez que eu tentei mudar o Vitalino ficou com minha frente e eu tive que pagar de novo. =[

No you cannot say that Ripple is a real cryptocurrency. It is looks more like a centralized system, which is the the very opposite of what a good cryptocurrency should look like. For me, Ripple is a sort of banking system for transferring value. That being said, I do think Ripple has its place in the current constellation of things, probably as a new type of payment technology.

Furthermore, in order to enter the PoS game, one is supposed to own 1,500 ETH to receive stacking reward. This is really huge, and I don't see how they are going to avoid centralization. Ah, wait, the network is already pretty much centralized.

1. Cryptocurrency is not regulated by any authorized organization. The issuer of cryptocurrency will not be in charge of commercial crime if there is. The issuers are mostly private companies when they don’t necessarily announce their financial statements.

2. The influence of cryptocurrency is not expected as it’s encrypted. The market capitalization indicates a volume of 419 billion and there’s a large part of transactions are crime activities. Bitcoin is now the biggest currency in black market by TOR browsing when regulators are impossible to track them. A few months after Silk Road was wiped out, many have opened extra terminals to proceed Litecoin LTC for a reduction of risks.

3. Can cryptocurreny be in use alike present currencies? The answer is NO but not fully negative. According to its unstable feature, this is not a good idea to proceed by cryptos. For example, if commodity is sold for 1 Bitcoin as Bitcoin prices at, let’s say $9,000, what if it drop to $7,000? Cryptocurrency possibly becomes steady after major countries promote cryptocurrency as one of major payment methods.

4. Your property is not completely safe in bank but securer than in crypto exchange and wallet. Typically, users upload crypto and personal information on Datum cloud by paying Datum coin so Datum is able to collect either profile or crypto from customers with a centralization strategy. Depositors in either bank or wallet confront similar risks: either bank or exchange account are possible become hacked; there is a chance that they become collapsed as well. However, these factors confront differently in possibility when bank is much more steady and regulated.

5. The restriction to cryptocurrency is far not enough. First, crypto is not a local case but the global what indicates a difficulty of control.

Second, government will not give up on the currency issued.

É possível importar esse endereço em outra wallet? No caso passar dessa (MEW) para a Eidoo, que é a que estou usando ágora, usando a chave privada?

Quanto de gas seria necessário para essa transação: mandar os tokens, e depois de receber mandar para o endereço da Eidoo, eu só fiz trade com eth, não tenho ideia das taxas. Se tiver algum site pra ver eu agradeço.

It is funny watching how after each bullish post,  the bear trolls post in a matter of seconds maid up shit posts. Epecially Terra and her multiple newbie accounts praising her own wisdom   Sure, Wall Street buying thousands of Bitcoins is a bear news, why not, if you say so.

Any wall street involvement with public cryptos is a ploy to get inside and take them down, like with the futures.
