Governments dont tax financial transactions (normally), they tax capital gains (profits) or income (from traders making an income).  Same rules apply to cryptocurrencies. And normally its on you as a law abiding citizen to follow your country's tax law and declare your gains/income.  If you dont, and they find out, big fines and possible imprisonment.  So make as much money as you like within cryptocurrency world, as soon as you exit you will be liable to tax.  Buy services direct with Bitcoin might help stay under the radar, or full under the threshold for investigation.

What do you want to substitute?  Value?  well Bitcoin is indeed the highest value, but what does that really mean in practice?  Or do you mean function, in which case there are a half dozen substitutes, are accepted for trade or offer better functionality (ie contracts).  Notice how the domination of BTC against total crypto market cap have gone down to ~34%.

Bleeding DeepOnion pushers.  One day you'll realise DeepOnion is of little interest to those outside the airdrop and pump group.  Not knocking it as a coin, its serves function for those that want it, but that market is small.

Ripple is the compete opposite isn't it, being the establishment's coin of choice?

A project like Lisk needs to focus on delivery, not branding.  If it thinks branding is the way forward, it signals the managment are more interested in image to drive price, than platform function and service to drive value.  

Believe nothing in the Express.  Its a trashy tabloid that will write anything for sensationalism, it'll be devoid of facts or attributable quotes, and work an angle on Princess Diana if they can.

SEC is simply saying "remember law applies to crypto too!".

Main risk is accounts getting blocked i think.  Also need to check carefully minimums and even whether you can withdraw.  If it were easy to buy on one exchange send to another and sell im pretty sure the arbs would disappear, as they do in real markets.  On the other hand i know of one exchange that consistently ~$500-1k higher than other exchanges, so perhaps people simply arent paying attention?

This is not new, its always been the way since ASIC came on the scene, with the centralisation beginning with mining pools. 

But the flaw is in the original design, as above there was only naive ambition for the future of bitcoin.  Maybe Satoshi simply didnt know about the efficiency of GPU mining and the arms race that would lead to?  Though surely the idea that a specialist miner could have be conceived and designed against.

My advise if you are new is dont look at coins and tokens recently added to CMC.  This is a terrible strategy for some one without knowledge.  Look further a field for information on established coins at first, and use CMC only for reference, quick snapshot info on graph/volume etc.  

Fantastic verbosity.  Alas you have not actually described what it is but what it intends to do, and opened up the question how is fluidledger going to achieve any of these things?

All those developers, so little updates 

Yes, thats the idea behind a ponzi scheme.  Some make profits, the leaders make a lot of profits, those near the end... not so much.

I love copy/paste Medium headlines, accept them with no actual information behind them.  Look forward to their input, if they are indeed joining (and why these positions not filled months ago!)

And another thing, can any tell me what the Internet 3.0 was that tron is replacing with 4.0?

Wrong coin, this is UK based.  The one you refer to is relating to power (powerledger?)

At least this thread is honest in its objective. Its a good point, the focus on mobile will open it up to relatively untapped market of the youth.

Who?  And when do you think they might start making commits to the Github?

They announced they shut down didn't they?  Very odd situation, Ponzi closes, people still buy into it  

According to who?  Oh, the ICO sales pitch.  Well thats me convinced! 

I like the claim "At the moment 70% of visitors register for ICO" made back in middle of December, and still exactly the same on the website today 

No, the idea of Fluidledger is to raise cash for the founders.  Its an airdrop with a sales pitch to get people to buy more.  Its not even using its own tech, sitting on Waves it seems!  And the whitepaper is no more than a press release content wise, its just telling you how to buy coins and some sound bites.  

A coin advertising it will go x100 is a massive red flag.  If so sure of the value of the coin, why not sell at a higher price?  A coin launch should focus on the function and use of the coin, not its future monetary value.  Putting this as point 2 of the ICO shows where their focus lies.

There's nothing "stable" about the fall and rise of Tron in two weeks, and the vision is currently unknown since they withdrew their whitepaper.
