Я задал Бальту конкретный вопрос на логику, именно на саму суть определений понятий "средство платежа" и так далее. Юридическая сторона у любого государства одна - платежным средством является только законная на территории данного государства валюта. Есть государства где таких валют несколько, но это лирика.

Ну а я воспринимаю (и многие экономисты и другие люди) средством платежа - общепризнанную единицу обмена. Каким вот было золото например до 19го века. Тогда можно было платить прусскими золотыми кронами во Франции, смотрели не на саму монету и какой портрет монарха на ней напечатан, а на свойства золота (на золотых монетах печатались чистота, вес и так далее). Тоесть, если что то стоило килограмм серебра, то ты мог расплатиться как сотней серебрянных рублей так и тысячей испанских серебрянных песо. Главное чтобы по весу подходило.

Поэтому очевидно что бакс в РФ, не с юридической а логической стороны это средство платежа.

There are many countries that do not have cryptocurrency exchanges in their jurisdiction. Thus, it turns out that citizens of such countries will not be able to engage in trading. Therefore, the option you suggested is not suitable. The best option is to choose an exchange that you have a positive image of.

In some cases regulations are necessary to put an end to fraud and corruption in the crypto/Blockchain industry. By requiring KYC compliance on centralized exchanges, the crypto world could become a better place. However, the mere fact that you'd need to provide some sort of ID verification would completely destroy the purpose of crypto. I've seen situations where centralized exchanges became hacked, putting customers' identities at risk. Last time I've heard, someone hacked Binance and threatened to expose customer's identities across the web.

This makes me to believe that KYC does more harm than good for crypto. Of course, regulation is necessary in order to legitimize the industry in its entirety. Institutional investors, conglomerates, and other entities will find crypto regulatory-compliant for their own needs. But knowing that KYC goes against crypto's principles, could make the entire industry similar to traditional banking.

What are your thoughts?

I've heard enough about exchanges and my ears are full, if you aren't a scammer or a pump and dump dev this is for you, I'm going to list some exchanges on here right now

This is the 'mindgame' present to both gambling and trading. One could win in a single trade likewise a spin, perhaps, in a roulette to give an example. In both ways, there are chances of losing your money, and the same thing of earning money from doing so. The best thing is to know that profit is not assured to avoid drawbacks when it comes to one's mental condition because that would be worse than losing money.

if you gamble it will not be as easy as you imagine because when you lose your assets will disappear instantly and it will make poor instantly and cannot be equated with daily trading, whereas if daily trading when you are trapped then what changes is only the estimated value of your assets due to the influence of falling prices at the exchange place and can recover when prices rise, better and safer trading than gambling.

Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled, those wanting bet of sports events are left with having to find alternatives. What are the majority doing?

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

I recently open an account in an online gambling sites because I'm too bored in my house. But it is not my first time to gamble because I have account in some dice games and some online betting gambling sites. My first impression to online casinos are good and it seems that I now spending more time of playing than my usually activities which is studying and playing some online games.

Hi all. The seller of these coins is having issues with delivery to most countries now due to the pandemic.
 I will place these daily raffles on hodl until such time it is feasable to roll again.  
  I might hold a free raffle once in awhile in the collectables.
  Until this pandemic is over...stay safe...keep up the faith and last but not least...take care.

As always, the top coins in the market are the coins that will likely to regain their price first, and will grow in price faster, Bitcoin should be on top of the list because we are in the halving year, Ethereum because of the POS implementation, all the new coins in the market will have to wait for the market to get better.

Altcoin BCH, BSV, BCD and BTG have good opportunities going forward and so on if you know.

of course there are miners who will leave whenever price drops but i don't believe it is this drastic to cause any worries, specifically when we see hashrate goes back up without price going back up first.
i am not a fan of conspiracy theories but the reason for such hashrate drops during a price (specially when they don't make sense and then jump back up again) could be a big miner trying to manipulate things and force small miners to exit and push the difficulty down before they come back themselves and mine at a lower difficulty.

I agree with you. Altcoins are not worth long-term investment because their prices can be inflated or collapsed at any time because of their low market capitalization. Also I haven't seen any potential altcoins and their ideas are only good on paper

the thing about hashrate is that we really have no way of measuring it accurately. all the data and charts that you see on different websites is a big estimation with a lot of room for error. we have seen multiple times that they even report outright wrong values.
as an example over the past week we saw them report a big drop in hashrate while today they are reporting pretty much the same hashrate as before (~108 E) while price is still 40% lower than it was before!

So during the last difficulty period, the average hashrate was around 118 EH/s. Over the past few days, the hashrate has dropped down to somewhere in the region of 85 EH/s. Looking at the last 100 blocks, it took just under 19 hours to mine them, meaning an average of 11.4 minutes, or 11 minutes and 24 seconds, per block.

We are currently on block 622,203. The next difficulty adjustment is due at block 622,944, which is 741 blocks away. At an average of 10 minutes per block, that would take 5 days, 3 hours, 30 minutes to reach. With an average block time of 11.4 minutes, it will instead take 5 days, 20 hours, 47 minutes to reach.

So with the recent drop in hashrate, the next difficulty adjustment has been pushed around 17 hours further away. If the hashrate stabilizes around these levels, then we will likely see a drop in difficulty of around 20%.

Note that this is kind of circular logic - we have no way of calculating the hashrate, and simply infer its value from knowing the current difficulty and the current average block time.

in this condition stable coin could give us profit if our local currency were down. i see usdt rate in some countries rise alot , and traders that buy it in previous crisis get profit alot. many currency rate in several countries drop sharply in this condition , and stable rate could gain more than 10%.

A new system or method will emerge when there is a "problem" regarding the misuse of the existing system or method. For example, when investor confidence starts to decline when many fake dev teams use the guise of ICO to raise funds and then run off without a trace. That is why IEO appears, with the guarantee that investors immediately get the tokens or coins they invest in an exchange, IEO is increasingly popular when handled by popular exchanges such as Huobi, Binance, etc. Over time, investors will be more selective and adapt to the existing system. What new system will appear? I have not seen a serious problem about this, except for bad projects that do IEO on shitexchange and investors who don't care enough to be fooled.

Why not? there are still many ways to raise capital from bounty campaigns and other work for cryptos that can be tried. If you try your best, you will get a chance. Although it is not comparable to 2017 when there are many legit campaigns, it still works

Trying to trade without investing? hmmm .. that only comes to mind by taking a giveaway or airdrop program from an exchange with a cryptocurrency prize. I often follow airdrops from Upbit, quite legit. Some other potential exchanges also often hold airdrops, so just watch.
If we really want to try trading or investing in anything we need time, capital and energy preparation. Try your best and accept the worst risks, don't give up easily.
