i hold doge forever, will pump to atleast $7 some day and we will all be rich, i have faith, xpy didnt work out for me so doge is my only hope either that or face starvation and bankruptcy....

What the proof? I heard about that coin is still good, but few days ago the price is down

No. I want to keep myself as far as possible from jl777 scams.

paycoin this time will be the biggest SCAME 2015

If you have FC's pic, how about posting that in the thread ?

Like when alt coins died in late 2013/early 2014 when Bitcoin hovered around $1000? Doubt it. If anything it will be another alt boom.

I wonder how the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund might factor into a currency war since it's their job to regulate currencies.

mod note: thread un-stickied because it is no longer being updated, despite an assurance from OP when I messaged him about this back in March.
 

If you listen closely to all his videos.. you will find the answer. 

1. He likes the concept.
2. He does not like the anonymity
3. He would like to see this being implemented, but with their own crypto coin.
4. Bitcoin has a bad reputation.. {Link to terrorist funding}

He is after all a US citizen and they have to adhere to all the KYC and AML laws of the country.... The bigger companies have close ties to government and will lose out on huge government tenders, if they do not adhere to the laws of the country.

There you have it.... You will see a "Ripple" like coin coming out soon, adopted and supported by Microsoft. 

I don't understand Bill gates anymore , sometimes he  criticize it and sometimes he likes it . confusing me . I don't think that the news it's that old ? the last Interview wasen't like this , was it ?

Here is the video that I've found (was looking some Mark Karpeles videos) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6KRp91YAw8

~ Madness

Hello everybody.
A year ago I'm spended so much time with trading, because I made 10+ BTC from this hobby (bought mooncoin, doge and every shitcoin but every coin worth it) and this is a lot of money in my poor country.
Later I lost of btc because I tried cloud mining and some scam coin 
Now I have only one BTC and I'm unemployed.
How can I start again?
Everywhere I look are unknown coins and all of the exchanges gone where I traded.
What should I buy this time?
What exchange can I trust?(cryptsy never was the case)
Sorry for my bad english
