I have bought a couple nick nacks here and there, but no major purchases to speak of. Waiting for 6 figures before I blow my wad (literally and figuratively ).

I doubt a forum can save a whole space that is much bigger than it. Don't think we wield that kind of power around here but I could wrong on the matter. In any case if KYC is pursued further, DEXs will flourish next and people will adapt.

I don't even know how you came to this conclusion but I will end this discussion with one point. On a private blockchain they can censor you, on a public one they can't. End of story, they are not one in the same you need to do some homework.

Neat idea but I wouldn't brand yourself as "Official Facebook Killer" that just shows lack of originality in my opinion. Why not come up with something that has some more pizazz and is your very own unique slogan.

Yup not all exchanges are made equally, the ones I use most I have listed what I think about them.

Bitstamp-Great
HitBTC-Bad
Cryptopia-Okay
Bittrex-Okay
Binance-Great
Poloniex-Bad
Kucoin-Good

Taxes sure whatever we can't get around that, but a list of everybody who has crypto? I mean that is a brazen and deplorable way to approach this, especially given what we know about how centralized companies getting hacked.

Already bought and sold a bag of this, god damn it. Hard to know how the market is going to react sometimes especially when their scam allegations happening all day. Good for Credits though, hope they prove the doubters wrong.

Well shortly in July we will find out if their stance is still one a bullish one for us, or a stance that puts us further into bear market. Not too much time left now, and honestly I feel like that will have a significant impact on crypto and potentially can change crypto forever moving forward.

That is truth and there is actually a term for this in psychology. It is called "recency bias" and it essentially means what has been happening lately you think will continue to happen. This is not the case in life and unforeseen events occur, and the trajectory often changes. Read more: https://ycharts.com/glossary/terms/recency_bias

For the umpteenth time, Bitcoin does not compete with Ethereum! They are two separate foundations and two separate beasts. Comparable platforms are EOS, QTUM, WAVES, NEO, and such.

Correct me if I am wrong but you could create other social accounts and try to use those as well. Reddit, Discord, and Telegram all have some small bounties that are available. They won't changed your world but they will give you some bi-weekly income perhaps.

It is quite egrigous that they don't get their Bitcoins back, and that they only get the USD amount lost. Then I would like to know, who gets all that extra USD? In any case they should be given back their Bitcoin to USD equivalent based on a cost averaging. I also don't understand how they lost more money in this process that makes no sense to me...

TenX-Established in May 2015, had an MVP August 2015. Beta was released in February of 2017. They have always had a working product, and had been around for a couple years before entering the crypto space. The founder hasn't made other projects before, but you can clearly Julian is very knowledgeable about the crypto space. From my view, they will be one of the projects that succeeds after all this speculation hype hoopla is done with.

You should always have a proper bankroll though, that is what enables us to make the best decisions possible. If we are making decisions out of fear, or out of not having funds in real life this is bad. You want to make decisions because they are optimal, not because your hand is forced all of a sudden.

You can do any of the following, the more the better though. Some require time, some money, some effort here is what I have for you:

-Trade
-Mine
-Bounties
-Services
-Goods
-Referrals
-Leverage
-Build brand on Youtube, Twitter

Mistake #1) Bought Ripple
Mistake #2) Sold Ripple after no pump on conference
Mistake #3) Watching the Ripple pump everyday while it happened

#3 definitely was the worst part about it all, if I had to do it over again I just wouldn't do #1

Correlation isn't causation but generally here people are more interested when the price is going sky high and less interested when price is plummeting. There is a relationship to it, but it isn't "people are searching for Bitcoin, price is gonna go up now". So indirectly it alters the price but again this is because people are interested in the asset at the time, not because they are searching for it on google.

I focus on myself for now, because if I do well for myself now I do well for my future children. There is no point in working for yourself always, working for others is a much easier thing to undertake.

While ICOs will raise more capital in 2018 than 2017 (due to market conditions not projects getting better..this is important), it is my belief that these ICOs will fail as hard if not harder than 2017. The reason I think this is because more or less these projects are similar to last years project, with even less being innovative. That leaves us with the same type of projects that have failed or are failing, and there simply won't be space for I don't know 20-50 gaming coins. I just don't see that happening there, and there are other areas were market saturation is beginning to rear its ugly head I would be extremely careful when choosing an ICO this year.

Why do people always seemingly forget the most grand reason of them all which is to give banking access to those who don't have it right now. While all those other aspects are good and it is my aim for BTC to become international currency, it can only become so if the whole world uses it. It would be pretty dumb to only have 1 billion people on this system, when in theory we could have 5-6 billion people at least on this system. Let's shoot for the stars, not the moon on this one!
