Title is a little bit misleading - it's suggesting that NVIDIA is selling cryptocurrencies ("crypto sales"). I know it's meant profit from sales of GPUs for crypto mining.
289M out of 1.65B which was total income, is still only 17.5% which is not that surprising.

Of course, I payed some digital goods like Netflix subscription and so on. But also some physical goods like concert tickets and computer parts. I tried to pay advance payment for hotel abroad (I had to pay 30% upfront to reserve my room) and they asked me to send wire transfer to their bank account and fee was more than $10 which is stupidly high. So I asked them if they want to accept Bitcoin or even better, Ethereum because of low fees. Hotel receptionist was familiar with cryptocurrencies but he said that they are not accepting them. This would be a good example how cryptocurrencies improve our lives, but it didn't work out. Maybe for my next holidays.

I had problems finding English language on the website. Default settings is Chinese language and if you don't speak Chinese, you don't know where to change language. Please add something like "Change language" to the upper right menu.

I can see you have long-term plans for this project because only 1% of tokens are for developers and 9% is locked for 3 years. This is very good and gives me confidence that you will not abandon it after few months like many developers do.
I'm looking forward to read more about Kanade and Monozukuri in whitepaper.

Do you plan to sign partnership with airline companies and they will accept AKL coins? Or you will sell them for fiat and pay airline and railway companies in fiat?
In both scenarios, price of AKL is expected to fall because they will need to sell coins in order to pay fuel, staff and so on.
Please explain what am I missing here.

If you're looking at USD price, it's difficult to sell high at the moment because of bear market. However if you don't care about USD so much and you only look at BTC price, then it's possible to sell higher than you bought, even in bear market.

You can't buy it yet and it will take way more than 3 years to develop working quantum computer. They already made prototypes but they were not capable of calculating even simple things normal PC can calculate in seconds.

Such summits are needed so I don't really understand Vitalik here. I'm sure they invited him. And he's not the only founder of Ethereum.
I hope they clear things up and next time organize events together.

Being student myself, I can relate to your dilemma. I try to spend as little as possible of my crypto portfolio on daily purchases. Because I have long term plans and I belive cryptocurrencies are still in their millennial years. When Bitcoin was at ATH, I started thinking about buying an apartment, but then it crashed before I had enough to buy one.

What do you mean compromised? XRP is the cryptocurrency created by the company Ripple which is based in San Francisco, California.

I like your idea. With good marketing you could really popularize cryptocurrencies because people would see that they can invest without knowledge about 100s of different cryptocurrencies.
But I couldn't find any info how much money did you raise and how is the development progressing.

Ripple (XRP) is proof that cryptocurrency can be centralized as well. But I can't imagine Bitcoin to be centralized. This will never happen.

What kind of decisions will be decided by voting? Only topics selected by developers or anyone can propose a topic for voting?

Of course. What are you interested in? I had a $100,000 trade volume in April. Are you day-trading or investing for the long term? Both is trading.

Reading a whitepaper is vital if you don't want to get scammed. ICO ratings in websites like icobench and so on are sometimes manipulated or even payed for. So don't rely only on those ratings.
Website with nice graphic and design can fool you into thinking that a project is legit and it has many professional people behind it, but maybe the "team" are just web designers who created nice website, while they don't have much knowledge on other fields. Whitepaper usually reveals if there are actually any experts in the team and what is their business plan and so on.

Small correction happened after that - 5% decrease in last 24 hours, nothing critical. It will take 2 days to get back to 10k.

Yea I think such claims without argumentation or analysis are not very helpful for Bitcoin. Potential investors just get the opinion that crypto community is a bunch of unrealistic lunatics and blind believers.
To be honest, I think it will reach 25k but not that early.

This link is not working. Also you should rename this service to Token generator or something because ICO is much more than just a generic token created in 5 minutes.

Anyone here placed their bets? I'm thinking of betting on horse race for the first time in my life - Mendelssohn is my choice. Only 6 hours left. You can bet with bitcoins on usracing.com

Like people explained, sometimes there is high amount prescribed for minimum investment (1 or 10 ETH). Other reason why people wait for public sale can be that ICO does not have soft cap defined so people are afraid that project will fail if they don't collect enough money. So investors wait for presale report - if ICO collected enough money, like at least $100,000, then other investors are comfortable that project will succeed so they add their own money.
