Brunton, Finn. Digital Cash: The Unknown History of the Anarchists, Utopians, and Technologists Who Created Cryptocurrency This is supposed to be upcoming (2019), but am hearing that a publisher's copy is already available (please see details here). The author had a pretty shite "how to" guide for cypherpunks but I thought he might do better with a semi-biography of some people I might not have known about. If you've got it, I'll PM my details. The book will be available by June. only available for pre-order although I have one of his book titled ''Spam : a shadow history of the Internet'' and another one in which he co-authored "Obfuscation: A User's Guide for Privacy and Protest". I will let you know ones I have the book but for now I do not have it.

when you mentioned banks you need to know they do not act independently. Most commercial banks are being guided and control by government own financial institutions such as the central bank. if the bank will want to unite with crypto then cryptocurrency will be subject to regulation which will surely again decentralization of the cryptocurrency because as soon as the government introduces rules for crypto, it will become centralized. However, the use of blockchain technology is what I believe will continue to grow among financial institution.

what drives a lot of people into investing in cryptocurrency is the ability to make a profit within a short period of time. So many people do not even want to know the technology behind any crypto asset they are trading. As long as it makes them profit within a short period of time. those early investors are the real heroes. They have a perfect understanding of cryptocurrency and they understand the multiplicity in the potential of these coins. even if crypto crashed totally today, they will still remain hopeful in the success of the technology.

it is not possible to calculate or estimate that. First BTC trading is not one sided. meaning as you are buying, some are selling and since you do not have control over buy and sell order since you are not the only one trading, it will be difficult to calculate the amount of buy order that will make the price of bitcoin rise to $10000. The only constant thing we all know about trading is that the price of crypto increase when there is high demand meaning increasing buy order but how much purchase that is needed to make price rise to fixed amount is not holistic

Nigeria have remain passive about crypto related activities despite the fact the country central bank of the country had warned the citizen about the risk involve in using cryptocurrency, I do not think bitcoin can be regulated in the the country. The country already have thousand of issue to address aside cryptocurrency. However seeing poor countries in the list of countries that want to regulate crypto make me wonder if the government actually want to improve citizen standard of living. crypto have created more opportunity than some country's government

there are several exchange platform that provide instant exchange as well. in fact almost top 50 crypto exchange platform provide instant exchange. I am not saying changelly is not good but i do not actually like them when I want to exchange crypto although if you want to buy crypto using credit card, they can be the best bet. hardware wallets such as Nano ledger are one of the safest means you can store your crypto asset. However, in case you want to use exchange platforms make sure you don't store informations regarding your account in emails or online storage hosting platforms

Your points are actually valid. before 2017 in my country, just few local exchanger and merchant that will accept bitcoin exist but immediately many people are getting to know bitcoin and they are as well holding it, it create a pressure which drive the acceptance among merchant because many people are ready to use it as a payment options. today we have so many merchant that accept not only bitcoin and ethereum but also some other coin such as XRP. willingness of people to use bitcoin make more merchant to accept it.

of course not all of them will be successful. Infact less than 20% will be successful due to current fall in cryptocurrencies which have make many investors lost hope in investing in cryptocurrency. Aside from this, there has been increasing Scam project which might also contribute to low level of investors. Many of them will not even reach the soft cap which is the minimum contribution needed by team to start the project.

You would have make your post complete if you include the name of exchange you are trading. It is not new that many exchanges do indulge in market manipulation so I am not surprise that you are experiencing this. Most time during big pump, some exchange platform with low liquidity might wanna control withdrawal rate in order to save the platform from collapsing. This is very popular in new exchange platform. I have personally experienced this in an exchange platform popularly called dakuce. It takes days before the platform finish maintenance.

well whitepaper can provide you informations regarding blockchain technology but you can not get an in-depth understanding of the technology of blockchain in the whitepaper. This is because whitepaper information are tailored to suit the objective of the project. There are many resourceful e-book about cryptocurrencies that do not only cover the blockchain technology but also will teach you the programming aspect of the cryptocurrency development. you can check some of the topics created by me to get lists of the ebooks

It is practically impossible. Just as your car cannot move without fuel so also bitcoin need gas to fuel the transfer. This transaction fee is the amount that paid miners in order to aid transfer of your crypto asset. However since nobody have monopoly in cryptocurrency of cryptocurrencies, there will be opportunity for you to explore various transactions fee that is offer by many exchange platforms and this will allow you to go for the one that have the lowest transaction fee. Do not exchange reputation matters. any platform that intend to offer free transaction is not sustainable.

This is really serious. No wonder a lot of people have condemned the idea of requesting for a document for KYC especially the ICO. Many of this people are faceless people who also hide their identity but they always want people to provide a document for KYC. I could not imagine amounts of a document in that hacker disposal that he went so low as giving 100 documents for 10 dollars. This will sound as a warning and reminder for investors and anyone else interested in crypto to be careful in giving out their documents most especially international passport.

I think you are making reference to two things here. Firstly, transaction charges when trading crypto to fiat and also the transaction fee. For the transaction, I do not think the fee is too high especially when some network such as lightning network has been in existence. However, alot of phases is involved when exchanging crypto to fiat currency. The highest fee is not being charged by the bitcoin network but the third parties such as merchant that offer conversion of crypto to fiat. This is the reason why many projects are trying to bridge the gap in term of use between fiat and crypto.

You probably will not say this if cryptocurrency have not been hit with massive fall. I still remember vividly well in 2017 when crypto price continue to go up. Nobody will call ICO a trash because we heard alot of interesting project that are still flourishing up to date. The problem is that as soon as some people see the potential of the ICO and they see how much people take it seriously, they decide to turn the table around and turn it to scam game. Actually they didnt come too early has crypto has already fall.

Well maybe some of your point might be right but do you think there will be ICO in the first instance if they have enough money to work with the project. The reason why many project startup run ICO is to find enthusiast investors that will be the earlier adopter of their project. I support having some capital to be used for development and further support it by launching ICO but it all determine about risk. Many of this project do not know maybe they will be successful with the proposal and they do not want to risk their money. That is the reason why they always rely on investors money.

I think that the forum administration has a lot of tools to prevent the emergence and spread of scam projects. I am sure that the existence of such projects blackens the reputation of the forum and administrators should try to identify them.
Which tools are you talking about? the forum administrators are not super human. They are human being like you. If you understand how well some scam project have packaged their advertisement in the past, you will understand it is very difficult for anybody to discover some scam project. I took part in Denaro campaign being managed by a senior member and to be honest with you, nobody can believe the project is a scam one. Those scammers behind the project are very intelligent. You will not know their aim until you are defrauded.

Selecting a gambling site depend on which type of games the gambler wants. if you are someone that bet most time on sportsbook then your selecting criteria will be based on the site that provide the biggest and fairest odd. Other criteria such as events variations, minimum withdrawal, minimum withdrawal and payout rates are also criteria that are used in selecting gambling site. A gambling site that have bad history of delaying payment, not paying withdraw shouldn't be considered good. you can also do background check on the popularity of the site by using website ranking tools

Many ICO does that because they believe the project will be dead when hunters are gifted their token due to regular believe that hunters always rush to dump token in exchange but to me, the idea is not good. In fact, I have recently believed that many investors do dump token as well especially those that received bonuses that is almost equivalent to the amount they bought. From experience, any ICO that does that hunters put them in the risk of holding token that might be worthless when the time come provided the project has not turned to scam before 4 months. ICONIC locked bounty hunters token for 12 months but the project is already dead before 10 months
