it sounds like the mystical dream of an ethereum holder. this will never happen. Ethereum will not be accepted as a payment tool in any territory. Ethereum was not created for this.
Ethereum was created as a business platform and therefore there is a smart contract. In my opinion ethereum is different from bitcoin which functions as a digital currency or digital assets. Ethereum with its smart contract can be a business platform that can be used to make business efficient by making tokens. That is true, Ethereum was never meant to be independent, and it is clearly visual form Its objective, the product of Ethereum is designed to be used by many industries and it is through their usage that Ethereum gets its value, so Ethereum cannot grow without being independent, and even in as much as bitcoin looks independent, it still depends on the use of it by end user to survive, without end users that would create demand, bitcoin would not have grown to this level. The reasons why Ethereum is not properly functioning well now is because most of the projects too that were created under Ethereum are not properly functioning well, and until Ethereum produce is meeting up to the standard that most of its investors expected of him before it can start functioning properly. But the development of Ethereum is dynamic and they could modify it as the users demand. Most of the miners, developers and investors sees Ethereum as a competitor to Bitcoin. By limiting the supply and increasing it's usability, Ethereum could be another utility cum investment currency like bitcoin. |

Are there Bitcoiners in Hong Kong? How is the situation over there? I believe it should be Bitcoin's time, and help protesters in collecting donations, and help move value in Bitcoin.
I was not aware of the Hong Kong situation until i see this thread, hope it is regarding the extradition bill and i was dumbfound when i saw that 5 people are dead during these protest. I am yet to read the extend of these protest and the way in which the government is dealing these protesters by silencing everyone with brute force rather than sorting the root issues they have at hands. So basically what is happening is that the protestors are trying to use any alternative to government backed organizations and technologies to boycott their government and this is what Bitcoin is meant to be. <An alternative payment option, when the first option fail for some reason.>  It is really great to see people trying to overcome any government regulation with the help of alternative payment methods but what if the government put a temporary ban on its usage until everything is calm. The way in which they have dealt these protest makes me wonder that the government will do everything in their power to stop any protest even banning alternative payments methods to fund any movements. Economically speaking, Hong Kong is doomed anyway. When these demonstrations would settle, they would have a stricter policy on payments and China would make them realize who's the boss there. With no Chinese tourists and Chinese business, Hong Kong would be nothing. If China could economically control the politics of Taiwan, a far away political land, they'd punish every Hong Kong activist and helpers unless they leave the country. |

Whitepaper is the first thing you need to check if you are interested in the token. It provides the first glimpse of the project. A dedicated team would build a solid whitepaper with proper discussion about how the project an its token would work. They would provide the reasons why they'll succeed. A fixed percentage profit could seem appealing but they are outright scam.

The prime reason for this is people are not doing ICO to fund for the product but are creating products so that they'll be able to start an ICO. Even though your motive is good and is serious on your work, if you don't have the expertise, don't raise funds to learn.

Most of the bounty hunters do not get payment despite their hard working and some gets a little with shit token. Can we prevent it? Just an idea.
What if we everybody stop to promote a project which offers only token?
For launching a project, the project owner or developer should have some money to promote the project. Say for example- they have to escrow a minimum of 40% of the bounty allocation in term of usd or btc. Only then we can prevent scam ico and bounty hunter will get their money. Can we start following this rule?
Though some scam are obvious, it's really difficult to distinguish most. And there's no common place to list and discuss about scams. Many people even don't bother to do a little research about the project. Many of the scam projects are much more appealing than the legit ones. And most of times people put their individual profit ahead of everything. |

If Bitcoin price increases suddenly.
Does this change encourage buyers to consider investing in Crypto solutions like ICO platform or Exchange Software Development for their Business?
I don't think so would happen. A sudden increase does not signify the real use and usability of a coin. It would certainly draw attentions of investors but would put off merchants and people who transacts with Bitcoin. It would also cause another price crash which would lead to another long depression. |

Osaka is out already, Bencic has a nice game, so Naomi really had a bad year I guess.
Unfortunately, Zeverev and Rublev are also gone, beaten by Schwartzman and Berettini respectively. So the men side as well is open, with Nadal, Medvedev and Federer still in the hunt.
Interesting match to watch Medvedev vs Wawrinka.
Yes we were talking about Osaka a few weeks ago on here saying that she hasn't had a good year after winning the Australian Open at the start of the year, since then she has gone down hill and hasn't looked the same. Maybe its time for her to take a break and come back better and stronger next year. I really thought that this US Open could be another break through performance for her. Sadly, she could be one of those on the women's side that once reached the top spot, their careers went South. The Men's side is now wide open for anyone to win however I still think Nadal will be tough to beat and the same with Federer but then again we may finally see one of the up and comers win this year which will be great for Men's tennis. Zverev has once again let himself down, I'm not sure if he will ever win a Grand Slam as he always loses at vital stages of the tournaments.
Nadal is playing good tennis, surprisingly at this stage, but yes we do hope that someone will step up and see a new winner this year. Although Zverev has reached lots of QF this year, he still fall short. Medvedev vs Wawrinka in about an hour. This is going to be good, IMHO. Medvedev vs Wawrinka is surely the toughest Quarterfinals of this tournament. Medvedev is reaching his high form while wawrinka has been struggling for quite a time now. So, things would be in favor for Medvedev. Of all the quarterfinalist, I'd consider Medvedev and Federer to have the highest probability of wining the grand slam. So, the semis between the winner of this match and Federer may decide the winner of US Open. |

The government's definition has a mixed impact on the society. Largely their every statement are boosting the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
People have realized that bitcoin is a way to freedom. A universal voice of freedom that could free us all apart from the chains of government. They'll make us free of our brainwashing and national propaganda and make us think of a government really by the people themselves where every one could possibly have a voice for everything that matters.

Now is good time to bought BNB because the price is cheap from it all time high. And we have all reasons to expect that price will raise. Why? Because is real good coin with great future.
BNB is a promising coin, but its popularity depends on the success of the IEO, and now the popularity of the IEO is beginning to fall and therefore the price of BNB is also falling BNB was over $30, I waited till it came to $26 and bought some in the hope that new lending scheme on binance would boost it's price, but to the contratory, It has decreased to $21. It really needs a new IEO issuance in the lauchpad to get some boost in the price. Their new burning policy of burning the tokens held by team could be a good thing for long term, if the Binance's reign continued long enough but has no positive effect on current price of BNB as they are not siphoning the BNB from the market. And the burning doesn't make a large sense for BNB holders as the site's profit are going back to the team itself. Basically they are using the site's profit to burn their own coin. That's not burning but exchanging. |

I though that cryptocurrency is Meant for everyone. i thought that one of the reason is to create a decentralized system. for everybody on this planet in need to fight of the centralized economic system.
1;WHY Do we have projects that places restriction for investors from certain regions.
2;Why do some project owners ban some regions from participating in the Marketing campaigns of their project but Rather allows such people to invest in their project.
Well the first question is understandable but still Not clear to me BUT THE Second, is apt.
Most of the restrictions are to evade the strict jurisdiction of that country which bans ICO or have strict laws to follow. For example banning USA. Some are to evade countries that are being sanctioned by the country of project's jurisdiction. And some are just to exclude unnecessary hassles. |

SL opted to bat first. Both the team is playing under two bowlers Malinga and Southee. I think both teams will perform good, the pitch is in favor of batsman. The match is getting delayed for raining.
It has started now. Lockie Ferguson is not playing due to a thumb injury. I just hope that it is not serious. The match is taking place in the city of Kandy, which is a bit far away from Colombo. Nice to see provincial cities being given their due. Anyway, so far so good for Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera have given them a slow, but solid start. There is no Boult/Ferguson, so they should be looking for a target in excess of 180. Sri Lanka had a good start. 50 for 1 in 6th over. It's good to see Sri Lankan batsmen delivering. Whatever the results be, This is going to be an important series for personal record of Malinga. And this record would be a good trophy for one of the greatest pace bowler of our times. |

Anybody?
Can you be a little more specific as there is no Bitbay coin listed in Bittrex exchange. In order to find the wallet supported by any coin or token, you should first find out if they have their own blockchain or are a token in the blockchain of any other coins. If it has own blockchain, heading to it's official website and downloading it's official wallet is the way. If it's some sort of token, you can use the respective web wallet or paper wallet with you holding the private key. |

What we could conclude is the last bull run an unnatural pump. The current rise in price is a natural one. There are many companies that are integrating crypto to real world businesses. Bitwala has now bank deposits and withdrawal with bitcoin supported in German banks. Microsoft taking payments in Bitcoin and altcoins.

The main match of the day (for me) has just started. After 10 minutes nothing significant yet. Salah needs to score.
Edit: 2 - 0 for Liverpool. Salah yet to score
The results for the day are as expected except for Manchester United. They should have won that match. The draw between Chelsea and Sheff is a no surprise as Sheff are having a better season than Chelsea. The match between Arsenal and Spurs is going to be the most important one for today. |

That is interesting. I think this was part of the Telegram ICO that ran a year or two ago. Thought it was a failed or abandoned project. If this is true I guess telegram was encouraged by Facebook coin. Hopefully it is not centralized.
Telegram raised 1.7 billion dollars in it's private sale and according to some investors, it's going on market at the end of October this year. Every telegram app would act like a wallet for the token so it would already have millions of users and with the promises of anonymity, TON could be the next coin for transactions. http://nytimes.com/2019/08/27/technology/telegram-cryptocurrency-gram.html |

Even if people want it or not crypto are coming to them. The larger discussion about them would be whether they'd be open and anonymous or they'll be highly restricted and regulated. Until and unless people can send coins to each other without an intermediate, it would always be beneficial for people. Specially the international coin transfers. |

What do you guys think about China urges to ban all online gambling in Philippines?. One of their reason is that "The embassy said many of the Chinese citizens working illegally in Philippine casinos or POGOs and other forms of gambling entities are subjected to what media described as modern slavery due to severe limitation of their personal freedom and also Beijing welcomed the suspension of the issuance of new licenses for Philippine offshore gaming operations (POGO).
China want's to microhandle its citizens while gambling is deep rooted in Chinese society. There are many Chinese going to bordering town to gamble and many to launder their money. Macau and Hong Kong has been more restrictive that's why they are moving further. Chinese are familiar to online crypto gambling and a large amount of gambler comes from China. |

Arsenal vs Tottenham is the pick of the games this weekend, the North London Derby. I think there will definitely be goals for both teams.
Surely it would make us easier to guess the probable top 5 in the table. Spurs drew with Man City while they lost to Newcastle. While Arsenal has recently won over Newcastle and only lost to Liverpool, which is the only team with 100% win till now in the tournament. So head to head, Arsenal seems to be in a much better position. |

I think the tough thing for England is that to regain the Ashes they have to win it outright. We are at 1-1 right now with 1 draw. Two Tests to go, England will have to win both or win 1 & draw the other. If ENG & AUS were to win 1 each of the remaining 2 then AUS retain the urn.
In sports, luck plays a big role and I think this year we are seeing luck is favoring too much for England and it's Stokes always playing monster innings. So, if luck combined with Stokes miraculous innings continue then may be we will see England is going to regain the Ashes or the job is too hard. Stokes is a marvelous players but it was luck that made them win this time too. The 10th wicket was able to hold the game for 17 balls without being out while Ben Stokes made the necessary runs. Overall English team seems in poorer form than the AUS team. It would be difficult for the English team to win this series from here. |
