It's true, it goes against the philosophy of cryptomony and anonymity. Especially since this data can be sold to a malicious third party... But it probably allows more security with big exchanges, even if everyone can give a false identity...

That's what I think, too. I think ETH brings a lot more to the technology than Bitcoin and I won't be surprised to see it pass by one day. Despite the improvements made to the Bitcoin, I don't think it will withstand the competition forever....

Gold has the advantage (or disadvantage) of being physical and it is a very beautiful science (the coins minted a certain year, their condition etc...). There are many things to learn about it, where Bitcoin appears totally dematerialized and where 1 btc = 1 btc. These are 2 different values, with their respective advantages, so why choose?

Lol and how much are you willing to pay for merits? I sell you mine 1 ETH each.... Encouraging the payment of merits is totally absurd. The purpose of the merits is to encourage people to get involved in the community, help people, explain, make discover new things etc....

Good luck with your project, creating a hardware wallet shouldn't be easy and it would add some competition to the market and therefore increase security performance. Feel free to post to keep us informed of your project!

Bitcoin of course, by its age and its striking power... But technologically, I find that ethereum is the king and I am surprised to see it at such a low price. Probably a great buying opportunity! He should be able to do another x2 in no time. It's a bit like the NEO, it held well during the first storm and today it corrects with delay

If people stop buying Bitcoin, then its price will collapse because the sellers will lower their price until they find a buyer and if the price of Bitcoin collapses, we can think that the whole market will plunge with it...

I totally agree with you. The merits principle concerns a real problem: the multiaccount and it is a real scourge for the forum and for the bountys. Unfortunately, I find this system unfair and penalizing, especially for those who were ready to move up... You should have distributed the merits according to the activity and not according to the rank...

Poloniex and bittrex do not have the same uses I find... That said, since the arrival of the giant binance, I find all the exchanges much lower... I hope Beaxy (my signature) can move things a little and make a place for herself on the exchange market!

50,000 I can't believe it, but if we get out of the bear market by the summer, maybe we can get our December ATH back. That said there have been a lot of other crypto news since, so it implies a bigger market cap...

Ripple, that seems impossible. The area doesn't have a good enough reputation. Ethereum, why not, in terms of market cap. The possibilities are much greater than Bitcoin and ETH pairs are becoming more and more numerous. Maybe we'll have the famous flipenning !

Everyone loses money, it is sure that by having arrived in January, the losses are more consequent... But you have to think about the long term, it's just a bad time. I don't know where the article is anymore, but an influential guy talks about a 90K Bitcoin in 2020... If that's true, you'll think about your 85% losses aha.

Impressing the panic sell movement the day before the G20, the rebound also. It's still a very dangerous market ahah, but with great opportunities for the fastest and most adventurous... Let's hope we finally get out of this bear market

Bitcoin is no longer a means of payment, it is a store of value. Even if the network has been improved, we cannot hope to make it a bargaining chip. Cost too high, waiting time too long... it's still a good stallion on the market!

Btc just crossed the 10k, that's where the bitcoin seems to go up again, it's great news! Let's hope it's not just a dead cat bounce and rather a long and stable market recovery !

Anyway, there's nothing paying on facebook, so I don't see what would be the interest for him to accept bitcoins... There are priorities before (amazon etc...)

When they are old enough to understand the limitations of our current monetary system, then we can teach them the value of cryptomony. It depends on each child!

You can use localbitcoin if you want to receive cash and not be traceable, but it's a risk to take. There are some bad people on it. Do not hesitate to make the transaction in a public place

Depends on who you're with... For investors, yes, bitcoin has lost some interest with all the new projects. But among the population, bitcoin remains the reference in cryptocurrencies. That's all the media is talking about.

I feel like I'm reliving the pattern from a few months ago. Big resistance at 10K which should not be long to be exceeded and then quickly fetch the 11-12K... Will we relive the incredible ascent of autumn again?
