I had to read the article because I thought it was a joke. Unless Tom Lee himself is planning to buy all the necessary bitcoins until the price reaches 15000 dollars I don't see how his prediction can come true.

To offer fiat pairs, deposits and withdrawals, exchanges need to reach an agreement with a bank, and it seems there are not many banks willing to offer this service right now. On the other hand, exchanges have realized is more comfortable for them to offer stablecoins pairs since, for some reason, users believe they are really backed by real money.

I guess most of their victims are people who are not familiar with telegram or even with ICOs. Maybe they don't even know what a pinned message is. In addition, it seems clear that they are a little naive as well.

I've been reading for some time that these coins/projects were going to take Ethereum's place but, until now, and despite the problems Ehereum occasionally has, they haven't done and it doesn't seem they will do it in the near future. If you take ICOs as a reference, you will see the majority of them still use Ethereum based tokens.

When bitcoin and altcoins prices drop in the way they have done this year, it's usual to look for explanations, but in the end, it's just a phase. Crypto market moves by cycles and now we are in a bear one, that's all. ICOs are not to blame.

The same way you have found analyses that suggest that bitcoin price will rise, you can find other analyses suggesting the opposite. At the end, these analyses are just predictions, somebody puts the focus in one point of the chart and tells you what he thinks will happen, sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don't, that's all.

The fall of the Ethereum price has nothing to do with scammers, it's just the consequence of the market situation, all coins prices are dropping, it's just that.

You are overestimating the importance of market capitalization rankings. In reality, they are worth nothing and can be easily manipulated. Ethereum and Ripple are the same thing they were yesterday.

I don't think so, despite their advantages, tokens depend on the coin in which they are based, and that is a possible handicap. For example, in the case of the ERC20 tokens, if the Ethereum blockchain is congested, tokens are seriously affected and can't be used. This is one of the reasons why there are some projects that create their own blockchain when they can. In the future i think coins and tokens will keep co-existing as they do it now.

Yes, you can, but if you are going to access your wallet with your private key, you need to download the app, if not, it's not possible.

Maybe the reason is that the website version of Mycrypto doesn't allow users access their wallets with their private keys, they need to download the desktop app to do it.

The system will not collapse, at the end, most of the debt will be condoned in exchange for something. Anyway, in that hypothetical situation, I think people would rather invest in gold than in cryptocurrencies since they conceive them as a risky investment. In any case, it could happen that some people would invest in Bitcoin, and maybe Ethereum, but not in other coins.

I think no one really expects Bitcoin price to rise within the rest of the year anymore. In fact, some people aren't still sure that the price has already bottomed out. In my opinion, there will be some months of accumulation before any significative move to happen.

If your customers are crypto users, the idea can work well, but if they are not familiar with cryptocurrencies all they will get will be some loyalty points that they will not know how to use and will easily forget about. Things works the other way round, first you have customers that are into cryptocurrencies and then you can think of creating your own cryptocurrency for your business.

The problem with the stablecoins is that they are allegedly backed by fiat money, is people going to run away from fiat money to take shelter in fiat backed tokens?

Expecting a bull run now can only be a wishful thinking or being a too optimistic person, especially when the only thing that could have triggered it, a Bitcoin ETF, seems that will not be approved anytime soon.

This is not one of these hard forks, no new coin is going to be created because of this fork, it's just an improvement of Ethereum.

Aunque llegase el día en que ésto fuera posible, los científicos que trabajan en estas computadoras no van a empezar a robar bitcoins u otras criptomonedas así como así, ni se van a poner a la venta ordenadores que permitan hacerlo antes de que las criptomonedas se adapten.

If that happened, the Ethereum project would weaken since it's strongly linked to the figure of its founder. If he suddenly left it would be a shock to the Ethereum community.

It's curious to see how this bitcoin fork that some people claimed it was going to become the real bitcoin has ended up this way, consumed by an internal battle and childish fights.
