Great! This is so much better than banning ICOS forever without a decent argument. The last country I thought would do that was Singapore. Regularization is needed and will bring so much confidence for new altcoins, and maybe this bring the biggest companie's attention who wants to invest. I hope that Central Bank have the focuses only in the security field and do not try to centralize anything coming from the ICO's. I am sure that this decision now will prevent scamming attempts and Singapore's government severely punishes fraudsters and treat them equally financial criminals.

I feel sorry for Confido guys who bought it on ath and even those who bought on ICO. Since the begin I thought it was a very strange situation and I warned some friends about it. I was massive adviced to invest on it but as always, I double check every ICO I am putting my money. Now they deleted the website, telegram and other social media. Unfortunately there's not much thing we can do.

Since you are making a new coin backed to Digital Currency to e-commerce, would make sense it being a Token. The payments made in e-commerce should be accepted in the great sites in the near future like Amazon, E-bay, and Alibaba already accepts bitcoin as a payment method. Straks will be available for all the customers who wishes to pay with your coin? Or the coin will be used only to build e-commerce stores? If the main idea behind this project is to allow customer to pay with Straks in partnership with existing e-commerce stores so it will be very nice to your ICO.

In terms of investment, yes they do. That's because people could buy a product without using the banks saving them time and money. Efficiency in both areas is key. I research and invest in companies I beleive will survive as best as possible any future bubble and that includes banks. Looking at charts as an investor is useless in the short, especially in it's infancy. It's a pain too many people put themselves through. I like to remind people, "do you watch you fiat bank savings account everyday?". Think of the long run. In a year of fiat bank savings you will be lucky to see a $50 return on $1000.

@beeqb I support your project and I like how you guys are managing it. Since you have 120 btc donated for development, should be nice if you pay the bounty guys. I am not here to criticize the team, but I am expecting my rewards since July and team haven't paid me. I was told to change my ANN thread in local bounty several times, and didn't see any payments as promised. I tried to solve this problem on telegram three times and no one from the team gives me a feedback. Thanks!

I saw that you plan to launch debt cards in 2018. How will be the fees for it and are you willing to work with visa, mastercard and others giants from this industry? I liked the idea of working with ethereum but I wonder if your cards will accept bitcoin, ethereum, dash etc...

I am loving seeing bitcoin at this price. Now everybody should do your own homework prior s/he invests. If you were in it to flip it for a quick buck, then you'll probably have to wait, or may be you did already to get profit. Not everybody have same priorities when it comes to investments. I invested in coins last year, they still are undervalued, but I do follow the developments, and it is gonna be ok at the end and I am waiting a huge correction this week already and I have set my orders. It is called due diligence, good luck for all!

This is the best ICO I've ever seen here on this forum. But really, our dear Vitalik must be great again and stop talking nonsense about bitcoin. Both have a powerful currency and should work together, but unfortunately it's not how it works. I just think you should have permission to use his image, because if he does not see it as a healthy joke, he'll probably bring down that ICO quickly.

People all over the world are losing faith in Governments and Corporations as well they should. They have been screwing people over for the most part for too long now. There are exceptions, but unfortunately that is not the norm. Bitcoin, Ethereum and some another coins already have the attention of Governments and Corp entities. Will be interesting to see the progress and I think the legalization will move fast as they see the power of blockchain.

In most of the countries, you can buy and sell bitcoins and cryptocurrencies as long as you pay the taxes the right way and declare your coins to the IRS. Actually some countries have oficially accepted bitcoin as a payment method. I always say that Russia and maybe China will be the first countries to announce bitcoin as 2nd official fiat money.

Before you putting money in any coins right now you should always remember and that I suppose my point is: I've never invested money I couldn't afford to lose, as per all advice. So it amazes me when I see people behave like they are desperate to bail on a project if it looks like they might lose a buck. But I would recommend you to invest on NEBL coin which is very cheap now and we are expecting it to announce it on Binance. Q1 2018, the team will launch restful apis in more than 5 programming languages.

I do a little day trading when opportunity arises, but for the most part I am long on everything in portfolio. This is one of my best for the future.  I am just even right now, because I have bought at higher prices and some at ICO, but not concerned with todays price. It's the future that matters too me and 2018 will be the year of the alts.

In bitcoin history, people have tried to bring it down like the great investors from Wall Street claiming that bitcoin is a bubble and it will burst at one point, but what you need to understand is that the bubble is not empty. There is a value of economic utility within that bubble that will remain. Companies the have a solid use case outside of just the digital transaction sector will survive. Think Apple in the bubble, tangible product and digital product, or Cisco etc. Bitcoin is not unstoppable in terms of valor and market because governments can ban it whenever they wish. Imagine China banning bitcoin forever, this might cause the ending of the coin (or not), maybe price can drastically drop and nothing happens.

I have no doubts that bitcoin is used as way of laundering in everywhere but we should know that we have a blockchain where all the transactions are recorded and keep there until forever! THe hard thing it's to track back where the money is coming from and where the money is going to. Here in my country there are a few people who is being investigated for using bitcoins to hide and laundering money. Some of them are even on prison, and now they are trying to localize their bitcoins accounts.

The future of credit/debit cards of cryptos will come from the cryptos itself. We can't expect VISA and MASTERCARD to fully support bitcoin and other cryptocoins. I am willing to use some card as a payment method to use my bitcoins in all over the world without this bureaucracy called "fees and prohibitions".

The way the price is going it is not too hard to predict the price until the end of the year. I'd say we are going to be between 7k-8k. Next year will be the alts year, because there were a lot of new great projects backed to blockchain being created.

It is neve too late to buy bitcoins. Recent developments in crypto world gives many people great concerns about potential of altcoins. If the news of bitcoin and etherium futures and other derivatives get confirmed next week or anytime by Dec 10 (latest deadline) the BTC and ETH will start an unprecedented phase of growth as institutional investment will pump billions into it. It's not clear what of the altcoins will benefit from it and what will be doomed, it's quite possible that the ones not in the top 20 will cease to exist. So I am buying bitcoins always I can.

I wouldn'nt invest on bitcoin only for the money. I don't know how about you, but I am also in the crypto space, because I strongly believe in the technology and in the vision how it may change the world. I believe in the projects that tickles my imaginations and aligns with my vision.  And I think that companies that appreciate the blockchain technology and share the idea of descentralization are awesome, I have a dream to work for a company totally backed to the cryptocurrencies, then I will be rich in spirit!

We finally did it! We are going to be listed on binance exchange, be ready to trade NEBL in one exchange that is growing the most. I hope we can see the price raise because last days are being so hurtful for my little nebbels. Dev made an annoucement in slack, remind to join the channel!
