I've never took part in any airdrop campaign but I've noticed that some of them offer huge amount of their coins (like deep onion). So the first quesion tha concerns me is what happens with those coins after they released to the market? It seems like the price should dump extremely fast when people start selling their thousands dollars worth in uknown crypto. Is there any example of altcoin when there was a big giveaway and then its price remained at least at the same level.

I doubt tha most nigerians can offer themselves to buy a computer or at least a smartphone and I don't think that most of the population of nigeria is smart enough to understant how it all works. National cryptocurrency is not always a good idea (they should apply something new if they want to succeed instead of establishing their own stonecoin or however they will call it) but they need a stronger currency.

In case you haven't heard yet, Nexon (which is a global leader in online games for PC and mobile) is going to buy 65% stake from Korbit (which is a huge exchange), both services operates in south Korea. Even though, they didn't buy the whole company, I still believe that we will see something from Nexon related to bitcoin, probably a game that advertise it, who knows? What are your thoughts?
It looks like 65% is enough to get control of a company so they decided to save some money. I still havent seen any worthy idea if using cryptocurrencies, most people just want to use crypto for gaming just because it is cool. The good thing here is that some experienced game devs now gona work on it and hopefully we will see some new and creative moves from their side.

Here is a quote from the official website: Think about your testament
Your bitcoins can be lost forever if you don't have a backup plan for your peers and family. If the location of your wallets or your passwords are not known by anyone when you are gone, there is no hope that your funds will ever be recovered. Taking a bit of time on these matters can make a huge difference.
Maybe soon enough some service will appear to help people save their bitcoins from their death. But I'm sure that most of BTC users are too young to die so they just don't think about testament because most of the solutions may lead to lower security of their private keys.

I personally don't think that learning forex and stocks is necessary to learn how to trade cryptocurrencies.
Seems like you misunderstood me a little bit. My goal is to learn trading in several markets (not only crypto) and now I'm seeking for similarities in different markets to be sure that I'll get more universal knowledge. Also I don't know how crypto market works but the plan like "just take some bitcoins and trade it" seem a bit unpractical. 3. Only use bittrex or poloniex to buy and sell alts which are listed there and have good daily trading volume, if you buy some coin without any volume you might end up holding worthless coins.
I remember that Polo had troubles some time ago, is it fine now?

Not sure that banks will be totaly eliminated (too much money and too many smart minds are staying behind the bank system) but I'm sure that banks will have to change the way they work. It seem like P2P transactions are pushing banks to make those changes and blockchain is bringing innovations to this sphere.

Hey there! Finaly I've got enough time to start learning something about trading. My aim is to become an efficient trader in different markets and for the beggining I need to choose one to start learning. It seems like I need to look thru a huge amount of material before working on the market but even learning about top cryptocurrencies takes pretty much (and I suspect that there is even more information on the other makrets) so it becomes a bit messy. I decided to make my own roadmap but first I should choose the market that I will work on (forex, stocks, crypto). I want get knowledge that could be applied in other markets (I've heared that crypto is quiet different from everything else) so I would like to ask experienced investors for advice. I apreciate all constructive advices.

Even Vitalik Buerin says that ICO is a big bubble for now. He looks like a guy that "posess necessary knowledge" in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Most of the ICOs are held on Etherium so I would think that ETH is also a bubble (at least for now). Bitcoin seem better but such currency as Etherium have a strong affect on total crypto (inclufing btc) market cap.

Couple quesions: 1. How can I order your card? "Cardholder name" field is inactive while the system require all fields to be filled. 2. Is it possible to send USD transaction via SWIFT to my Mistertango account? Or maybe it is possible to open USD account?
In Europe, we use SEPA in Euros only, and it's not easy to get an account using another currency than Euro. It is the standard protocol. Most of the banks don't let you receive something else without charging an outrageous fee. To give you an example I think my bank will charge me like $30 if I receive a transfer in USD/SWIFT In my bank I usually recieve transfers in USD that are automaticaly transfered to my local currency on the offical rates (which is automaticaly transfered to any currency while paying with my card in the other country) or I can open a special account and store it in USD. But it seems like it is hard to fined something like that in EU. P.S. I've sent a message to Mistertango support some days ago and still haven't seen a respond.

what would happen if most of the bitcoin were owned by a single organization? for states that print their own fiat money, financing to buy "all" bitcoin would be possible.
the state would presumably risk hyperinflation due to the enormous increase of money and bring the bitcoin rate to astronomical values.
but then, when the state is in possession of "all" bitcoin, it can make the circulation of bitcoin quasi succumb. bitcoin dead, population impoverished, mission accomplished.
Such a huge emission will probably hurt even the US dollar. Also they won't be able to buy it at one time so it will cause a huge BTC pump (which will alsso increase the amount of fiat needed to buy it). Some people simply won't trade their bitcoins and some bitcoin are already out of use because they are lost. It is hard to get most of th bitcoin simply because not all of them are on tradable atm.

Looks usefull but I've got a couple questions: 1. What is the legal side of thiss annonymous service? Is there any chances that seller won't support it and my order would be cancelled without refund? 2. How to chose a proper shipping price? On your website I see only empty shipping field that should be filled by myself before making an order but I don't know the shipping price.

If a small startup is successful, the most likely scenario is owners selling their business for a much larger sum of money than they invested to initially found their startup.
I don't think it could be applied to crypto sstartups. Normal startups sell themselves mostly because of the lack of financing or lack of experienced management that could provide the further developement. But on ICO crypto startups already gather millions for a kick-start and most of them have different advisers or their CEO are coming from major companies. Avoiding IPO is real for most of them.

Why are posting it on bitcointalk and how your news affect cryptocurrencies? Also what is the aim of your posting? I think that even forex traderss should operate larger amount off information than you post here. Are you gona respond to previous posts from other users?

There is no 100% safe exchanges for crypto an this moment. Don't even think that you will find any legit invest vebsite for it. If ou trust someone your BTC just for exchange then now you want to give it someone that will use it for unknown purpose and may accidently lose or just steal it.

Do you think there would ever be a time the CIA or some central-authority-agency would in someway sponsor activities that would hurt Bitcoin's image in the world?
What do you think?
They already doing it. All the time they are saying that bitcoin kills their system and harms people in their countries. As everu governmental structure they accepting technologies mutch slower than anyone else. I belive they should change their system so they should coexist with crypto.

I think I've seen your review campaign but unfortunately I've missed it. Your service seems pretty usefull but how about adding any kind of quality check function? Something like plagiarism checker comparing user's posts with the other posts in the thread.

The remaining amount will be refunded by Narbonne's team.
What about the signature campaign? Are they going to continue or we should remove our signatures?
