Cryptocurrency is not inherently a debt instrument and cannot simply be "printed" or issued past its limit.

Germany and France are anti bitcoin.

They are even calling for a cooperative regulation among countries. They are the most vocal among the EU countries but I don't think that other nation will listen to them. I guess this is going to be a long war.

But we all know that bitcoin is unstoppable at this point, If you are going to go against it. Then you will be left out. And I'm sure that even though that their might be some EU countries that will ban it, their citizens will find a way to engaged themselves in trade or investment.

Within this past few days i made so many wrong decision on trading. I predicted wrong, or i haven't maximize my Buy in and Out. This make me lose confidence on my skills. what keep your passion on trading and continue more?

Perhaps he'll move the date to later this year to save his face and will continue to be firm in his stance. But one article he wrote says:

"I myself have argued that blockchain technology has a bright future, even though I believe bitcoin does not.
The bottom line is don’t invest in cryptocoins (with a few exceptions), but invest in blockchain technology instead."

So he actually contradicted himself there.

Most people in the cryptocurrency world have heard of SBI Group by now. It is one of Japan’s premier financial conglomerates, and they are involved in everything from asset management to biotech. Adding cryptocurrency mining to their repertoire makes a lot of sense on paper, even though it remains to be seen how this will play out in the coming weeks and months.

The company has set up a subsidiary known as SBI Crypto. This cryptocurrency-oriented arm of the company will focus on mining cryptocurrencies and potentially other ventures as well. As part of its first public mining venture, the company mined a few blocks on the Bitcoin Cash network. Although it only happened a few times, this does indicate the Japanese conglomerate is prepared to work with Bitcoin Cash rather than Bitcoin itself.

Unsurprisingly, they decided to join one of the larger Bitcoin Cash mining pools for this venture. All of the blocks mined and processed by SBI Crypto were signed “SBI Crypto” in the coinbase string. This legitimizes the mining operation as a whole, although no one knows the full extent of this venture as of right now.

As I wrote back on Valentine’s Day, I believe Litecoin Cash is a scam. Not one single major exchange has announced support for Litecoin Cash, and the creators of this coin suggest that users will only get said coin if they use their Litecoin Cash wallet

Bitcoin: $1260/BTC
Gold: $1241/xau
Well, I can not believe that the Bitcoin prices has crossed over gold sooner than I expect. I thought the process would be finished in April. Wow, Bitcoin is truly worth and everyone who has sold their Bitcoin has made a huge mistake. Nothing can stop Bitcoin right now.

we strongly believe that it's beneficial to preserve our ASIC resistance. Therefore, we will perform an emergency hard fork to curb any potential threat from ASICs if needed. Furthermore, in order to maintain its goal of decentralization and to provide a deterrent for ASIC development and to protect against unknown or undetectable ASIC development, the Monero team proposes modifying the Cryptonight PoW hash every scheduled fork, twice a year. The modifications will be light, and should not change performance profiles much. The first change is now being tested, and will happen in the coming March fork. Finally, we will continue to research alternative Proof of Work functions that may provide better ASIC resistance than Cryptonight.

Patches will be available for the following software: zone117x's pool, Snipa's pool, Lucas Jones' CPU miner, wolf0's CPU miner, ccminer-cryptonight, sgminer-gm, xmr-stak, xmrig-nvidia, wolf-xmr-miner.

Minimum listing fees for exchanges are 0.2 BTC and Maximum fees are 4 BTC

Top exchanges are not charging any fees, only small exchanges are charging fees.

I think there might have been similar threads around, but I can't find it.

This has been a ongoing debate, but for me, its your responsibility on how you plan your cryptos for the future specially as an inheritance. Some says that they write it down, everything. Including private keys and passwords in case something bad has happen to us.

But I don't like to have a (automatic?)mechanism. It should be really up to the person on how he/she is going to transfer it. Personally, I haven't done anything to that effect, but I'm sure my wife will find everything on my laptop. She knows every password that I used and all about my bitcoin activity (trading / investing). Just saying. 

Luno, founded in South Africa in 2013, has plans to become one of the leading cryptocurrency traders in the world.

The company is planning to grow its team of 70 employees to 300 over the next six months.

Swanepoel, a former investment banker, say Luno was the first company in Africa to offer cryptocurrency trading.

It has enjoyed runaway growth since then, and now has 1.5 million customers in 40 countries, mostly emerging markets.

A Polish Youtuber, with around one million subscribers, was paid circa $30,000 by the Central Bank of Poland, in collaboration with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, to portray cryptocurrencies in a negative light without disclosing the payment in the video.

Marcin Dubiel, whose video “I lost all my money” has half a million views, portrays cryptocurrencies as a way to get rich quick, to only find out he had no money to pay for a date at a restaurant and was generally left penniless due to cryptocurrency investments.

The video’s description contains the hashtag #uważajnakryptowaluty, a website by Poland’s Central Bank and FCA which portrays digital currencies as risky, having no guarantee, and not classified as electronic money.

The Central Bank of Poland has admitted that “it carried out a campaign on the issue of virtual currencies in social media,” without providing any further comment on the matter.

Nor do they explain why their paid advertising was undisclosed in the video by Marcin Dubiel, who is just one among others who received such payments, including Planeta Faktów, a Youtube channel with 1.5 million subscribers.

Poland’s lack of access, in general, to English language information might make them especially susceptible to such propaganda

Looking at the chart since the peak in Dec 17, there is high volume around the last dip low, suggesting that it was the bottom for the downtrend.

There are also some large green bars over the last few days which shows some of 'whales' purchases. The blue line on the volume is a 20 day moving average and it is at the highest point since the peak. It appears that Feb 6th may have been the low for 2018. (As mentioned before)
