Perhaps better understanding of the technology and how it will be beneficial to their business both in long and short term base, i mean they are not ignorant to the fact about the way the crypto community is growing and many services are beginning to accept btc as an alternative payment option, so i believe it will be in their best interest to reevaluate their stand on the issue before they lose out, PayPal announcement was more like a wake-up call to some of them.  

how do we expect government acceptance of crypto without any form of regulations! if truly the crypto community are yawning for mass adoption by the government then i guess this is the price to pay to have that mass adoption that we so desired otherwise it will still remain an unauthorized part of the economy,  am not surprise to hear this because at the end it was going to be the end result.

Yeah I guess through commission or something similar is the way usdt could be making their money, between I assume libra already have institutional investors to fund the project so whether individuals invest or not won't be an issue to the development of the project.

What do you mean by bounty program are almost dead? Do you know this is the cheapest way for project owners to do marketing about their project? As long as there is always going to be a new project there will mostly likely going to be a bounty program,

And as for exposing of emails, that's up to the bm to know the right 5hingbto do, it doesn't make any sense to expose participant's emails in the first place.

I Don think that's even possible, nobody can accurately predict a certain project will give 100% returns, everything investment is about taking chances, predictions do occur in a positive or negative way, sometimes we expect an investment to give xx in a particular period but it will happen in the opposite direction,
It is better to have a prepared mind that it could go either way, however, if the the investment is intended for long term then it is possible to expect good return especially when the project has what it takes.

It will some how comes to this if we want government of all countries to adopt and accept btc as a mode of transaction by shifting away from fiat,
No government of any country will accept the use of a totally decentralise currency without any form of regulations, I don't see that happening, so the dream of government accepting it will still be more on theory than in practice.

You don't need to be told that those are fake deals from scammers sending random emails to their bulk mails, especially when you didn't sign up for such thing, it is festive season and scammers are doing everything possible to take advantage of this period everyone should be extremely careful and avoid opening mails from unknown sources.

You have to re-read the post because from what I read above   full member and above from bitcointalk is the rand that can be teleported, I think you can teleport your full member just fine,
Perhaps this is a good thing for those who would like to teleport their bitcointalk account to altcoinstalk to participate in bounties over there, sounds interesting.

I think it is safe to say the halving effects already visible in price, perhaps it didn't come immediately as expected but currently the price has been surging for days and I believe this is part of the aftermath of the btc halving, btc bull run  already started imo, but this time in different format plus alts are not carried along this time or perhaps not yet,

If what has been happening to btc this past few days is not bull run then I can't wait to see what the next bull run will be like, because judging from this past days, it will be explosive.

Perhaps profit takers will swing into action as festivities approaches, I was also expecting a large sell off with price increase but so far everything is in play, most likely btc will play around 18k - 19k in this month and by January we will see the breakout,   market can be trickish, we might be surprise it will do the opposite but overall btc has performed fantastic in 2020 imo.

If you are in a country where there are restrictions regarding crypto activities there is nothing you can do than to use a vpn to access the restricted places,
People who find themselves in this situation don't have much choice unfortunately, I don't believe all the vpn service providers will act same, am sure some of them will to their word and protect users privacy, and I agree about decentralised vpn, if they are available it will be a better option otherwise you make do of what is available.

Not just your country, it happens in other countries too many people are still ignorant of btc, for now the number of people who are aware and understand btc is very little compare to those are still unaware but even at that the btc awareness keeps growing steadily,
Compare to previous years btc has gain a lot of exposure, many people know btc now, if you look at the crypto Community, and as time passes many people will join the space.

The pattern of the price pump makes it to look like a suspicious project, how do you find a project that will only go up and would never come down or dip for a correction like every other normal project in the market!
If the token already pumped that high of course people will be afraid to get it but there is assurance the price will never dip so I guess they have nothing to fear

Less supply with real life application is what will drive demand not only less supply without any usage,  and am wondering how much funds was raised during the sale, if the team already made the announcement regarding this or not yet,
Between I am just hearing about this exchange the first time,  honestly I expected a bit known exchange that will give the project the right support, anyways, the team knows what is best for their project.

Opportunity to buy good alts at very low price, for those who want to be in the game for long term, best time to pick up some, maybe the market won't dip any lower than this,
I got my eyes on a token and place a low buy order till now my order has not been filled yet, price has refuse to dip lower, kinda hoping it will, don't want to miss out on a good price.

As much as I appreciate cz as a business person I don't think it is wise to just buy any project just because cz is connected to the project, no doubt bnb has become the most expensive exchange token out there, bnb is definitely worth holding because it is long term project with real usage, am not so sure about the other project the op mentioned but I know bnb has the capability to grow even higher than current price.

Haven't this past few days thought you something! you can at least take 2017 as a case study, you know what happened after btc famous ATH, people bought at 20k and some of them did not lose hope and continue holding, recently btc was as high as 19k+ which to me was a good price for those who held for so long to sell and buy back below,
the point is, this is a correction after the price pump, selling now won't make any sense unless you are sure it will dip even lower to buy back, otherwise just hold and relax.

Unfortunately new exchange have turned to quick money grab tool, the founders are not very interested in making a name or trying to create a standard product that will satisfy consumers, most of this newly launched exchanges all have hidden agenda, they are part of the problem new projects are facing on a daily basis, at the end they will milk and wreck that project, it is very important to stay away as possible as we can.

The bm made an announcement regarding sheng in his Telegram group i suggest you try and check it out, it seem project has gone to sleep, I doubt even if you receive your reward you will be able to sell,
I have a similar experience with a certain project and I don't think I will involve myself in such offer ever again.

If there will be a big market push i think very possible to see waves close to previous ATH (if not hit that price again), waves deserves to have a high price from the progress achieved so far,  as long as the team keeps their mind focus and continue with strategic development, a even higher price is very achieveable, this is a slow and steady kind of project, good old waves have really weather the storm since 2016.
