The main problem is that everyone around sees cryptocurrency exclusively as a means of earning ordinary dollars, and that's it.
Until this position is gone, there will be no more innovations, do not even hope. Why should a speculator need innovation if he is not interested in the development of technologies and their application but only in his own wallet with green presidents?
Let's be honest, the world does not need a cryptocurrency as such, because its reputation at the moment is irrevocably linked to the game on the market and with a similar position to the usual "classic" shares.
But the technology of blockchain and other smart contracts itself can really be perceived as the future that awaits us.
There is no point in fighting for total decentralization in a world where large ideas and projects cannot exist without control.
But it makes sense to fight for the development and improvement of basic technologies so that more and more people see here the prospect of developing data protection and platform devices.

I repeat - in fact, the world does not need cryptocurrency as such so much, but the blockchain and other infrastructure projects will be very useful to this world.

The problem is not even that scammers will never go away - but that many people perceive the fight against them as a new challenge.
Today you have come up with a way to limit the world from scammers and tomorrow these guys will find a way to bypass your system and this will deal an even greater blow to you.
I believe that scammers are peremptory good - because they test the stupidity and greed of newcomers and make it clear to old players that they do not know everything in the world. They make the market less sterile and more risky which allows you to create a certain barrier from completely incompetent and very susceptible people. Fraudsters by their existence allow you to increase the overall level of literacy. In nature, there is a concept of «good predators» - we can say that scammers in the crypto space are the same predators.

Perhaps the thing is that if we look at the statistics of the unemployed we can see some uncomfortable numbers for some people?
Or that it is profitable for some people to keep other people unemployed and on benefits so that they in turn vote for the right people in the elections.
The only problem is that the money for benefits is not infinite and it will not be possible to raise taxes indefinitely-one day there will come a time when working people will understand this total deception of themselves and then…
If yesterday some right people broke the Windows of the wrong stores, tomorrow people will take the white house with the US Constitution in their hands - and they will be more right than ever.

Apparently this is about alimony for your wife - and I'm sorry for you. All these post-divorce processes, such as alimony and division of property, is a very big pain, especially if your wife did not bring anything to the family budget herself.
As an option you can certainly declare yourself bankrupt and file a lawsuit to cancel these alimony payments, but this is a rather difficult story and very expensive in terms of legal costs.
If it's not a secret, what was the reason for the increase in the amount of payments?
As already mentioned above-the judicial system is really unfair to men in divorce. A woman doesn't have to do ANYTHING and a man needs to pay alimony, give up his child, half of the property, etc.
The only way out for future couples that I see is a prenuptial agreement. Well, or true love, in which you do not have to divorce.

But the US doesn't have a vaccine. China has announced testing, Russia is already running third-stage tests-and in the United States, n-people are breaking down stores and electing a President who promises to raise taxes and increase the influx of migrants.
In terms of oil, everything is sad for them - from their own oil there is only shale production, which is very expensive and in such conditions it is much cheaper to buy oil from Russia/The UAE because even at a low price, they have nice ROI because of cheap oil production. In the United States the cost of oil production exceeds all reasonable figures.

It is more likely that in the future all these "going up" coins and tokens will fall as quickly as they rose if (when) BTC will drop again. And do not tell me that the cryptocurrency market is decentralized and does not depend on anything - our market is just as dependent on the main player as the regular market is dependent on the US.
If BTC falls, the entire market will fall and you will not be able to do anything about it.

The most obvious and most correct answer is of course not.
Do you even understand the difference between the value of cryptocurrency and gold?
in that gold is valuable in itself-without additional external influences and fraud. Gold is used in industry, electronics, and other technical things. Even your phone or computer has some gold in it.
Where are cryptocurrencies used? On the exchange, in the process of speculating one worthless (in fact) active to another.
You are trying to compare the incomparable and do not want to even think about it.
Enough, please. Don't show yourself more stupid than you are.

I do not dispute that ETH 2.0 is cool - at least due to the acceleration of everything that is possible, but if you are so concerned about profit, then i have a question.
Are you sure that stacking will bring you a good APY? Are you sure you really need this?
Yes, mining may not be an ideal structure, but at least it makes sense - more invested more received. In stacking you will be able to get big profits only at the start. After this whales will control everything.
And then Vitalik will cut profits (as it was with mining recently), and then what? You'll hate him.
And again - if you think that this will stop China centralization, what prevents it from buying more than everyone else at the start and continuing control half of the network? Think about it.

If you do not ironically think that you can take BTC and use it as A world RESERVE CURRENCY, then you have some fundamental problems with your knowledge of the economy.
It is impossible to use something that is completely out of control and vulnerable to such a ridiculous thing as "attack 51"as a global backup. You do understand that such words-it's like you are signing documents that you were given a certificate of mental distress in a medical institution?
What's next? BTC instead of world money, soy instead of meat, Switch as the main means of entertainment?
You can talk as much as you want about the correctness of abandoning the gold standard - and you can always come to the conclusion that this was the beginning of the end. Now you are offering not just to switch to digital money as a reserve , but to uncontrolled and very vulnerable money in terms of stability
I'm sorry, but it's still not very smart.

In order for such legalization to really help , we will have to raise the permitted THC content in such cannabis. If there will be only 0.2-0.5%, then nobody will buy it. People who previously purchased on the "black market" will continue to purchase where. The only difference will be that this black market will go into the gray zone.
You will be able to come to the store with completely legal cannabis and if you are "knowledgeable" then from under the floor they will sold what you really need and not these "children's" cannabis.
So that's exactly how it is - to seek the salvation of the economy in the legalization of even light drugs is not the best strategy, as for me.

And then such a black list mechanism-completely transparent, decentralized, etc. - can be used to harm. What's stopping me from just uploading reports to one of random wallets just because I can? Nothing. Unfortunately, such mechanisms cannot exist in a direct democracy.
Today you make a similar mechanism - and tomorrow a group of friends gathers and starts sending letters demanding to pay them money, otherwise they will block your wallet. How are you going to deal with this?

As for me, now is the most inappropriate time to call people to the crypto.
Why? Because if people start buying cryptocurrencies all over the place, it will certainly give a sharp and rapid growth - but then it will be repeated in 2018, when the market just tripped over itself and collapsed sharply. And what will happen then? Millions of new people will not only lose tens of millions of money, but also start to hate cryptocurrencies more than ever. This will be their biggest and most important mistake (in their opinion) - to trust cryptocurrencies.
And if this happens, then any coin with the word "cryptocurrency" in its white papper will be perceived as another financial pyramid/bubble and you can forget about any development of this area at all.

Who are we? Those who voted for those candidates who will then begin to implement their "ultra-progressive socialist programs" were screwed up. For other countries , this will even make its own and quite good sense.
If America sharply rolls down, then the next stage of the world confrontation will open, but the main players here will no longer be America and Russia, but Europe and China.
And given that the EU has its own concerns now in bulk and they are completely mired in their own problems - it may well turn out that China is winning as much as possible in this 2020 year and in the following years will begin a movement forward that nothing can stop.
And as for me, this is a much better way out than to continue to rely on the dollar as a world currency and on America as a world leader - it lost all its name at the moment when it gave up and began to allow itself to be destroyed from the inside.

This is all a good theory, but it has one critical flaw.
For it to work, the governments of countries must have people with a negative iq and with 3 grades of education in a village Catholic school.
Let me remind you that most of us (including gov) want to avoid total war.
The theory is good, again, I do not argue, but it is too difficult to verify simply because countries are led not by mentally retarded  people but still at least something but understanding people.

So you just want to have another tool just for the sake of the illusion of choice? Not bad not bad.
Yes, some addresses are blacklisted but do you want the market to be safer? You won't be blacklisted just like that, so this is a dubious argument.
And I see no reason to do another one stablecoin, we already have enough . Or do you want to repeat the flood of the crypto market with a bunch of useless and even just fraudulent coins as it was at the rise of this story? No thanks, let's skip it.

That's it.
It just so happened that without normal regulation, it is impossible to use any service and feel safe - this applies to cryptocurrencies and exchanges, among other things.
Until appearance of the normal mechanisms of regulation and asset insurance are created, as well as the most ordinary control we will not see mass legal adoption.
Yes, everyone is drowning for total decentralization and everything else, but again - it just so happened that we do not live on an island in a vast ocean where you can do whatever you want, but live in a society.

What difference does it make to you, let's be honest - what was the reason? Everyone getting used to that BTC can both soar and break a new ceiling, and fall again and slide to an even lower price than before.
You are just trying to jump on an already crashed train.
And if you want the future, then look in the direction of Butorin and his ETH 2.0, pump is coming.

If you don't have enough profit, Yes. If you don't have enough of the trading/investment process itself, Yes.

In fact, I don't understand how you go to the toilet if you come to the Internet with such questions? What will happen next? "Hi, should drink I more water if I drink 3l a day??"

And your choice of the coins is not so good, to be honest

How many years have you been using a cell phone? Let's be honest, you voluntarily (like all of us) carry a personal probe that reads your every movement, listens to everything around you and knows what you are doing on the network. What's the difference? It's time to get used to the concept of lack of anonymity in the ordinary world and understand that secrecy is not when you are not visible, but when you are invisible.

As for everything else - conspiracy theories and a good spoonful of distrust of states.

And if you think that BTC is your solution of this, then you can close the thread and buy new Chinese phone in addition

Don't buy any more random shitcoins and take a more responsible approach to choosing tokens for investment here's what you should do.
Seriously, did you think this was impossible? What about go to the insurance company and insure yourself against such a case.

You may not be to blame for what happened to you, but you are to blame for what you did to yourself. Accept it and be careful in the future.
