Excellent, thanks!

Just don't stand up, you'll loose your head...

   Don't know how I miss that! THX

Right, in a dusty corner of the world where men drive solid gold cars and women are just now ALLOWED to drive (in some areas). One of the richest countries on earth is scared of Bitcoin? What a joke. Is religion the catalyst? Doubtful, many Muslem clerics have now declared Bitcoin is allowed under Sharia Law so that can't be the reason. Don't like the fact that you can't control it perhaps? Protecting the people from themselves? Maybe, world wars have been started over this fallback reasoning. Once again, the rich get richer and the common people suffer. But, crypto will continue to be traded there and everywhere else on the planet because it really cannot be stopped entirely.

Even if there are no exchanges in country, there are plenty around the world and there's the Tor protocol. Legal or not, people will continue to trade with or without, their government's blessing.  See China for a case in point. The final word in the title of the article provides the answer to why this is happening. Small minds are not exclusive to the poor and powerless. But, really, where is the threat? The Billionaire Oil Sheeks, Kings and Princes are acting like they have something to fear. Do they?

Perhaps. But lets be realistic, the entire value of the crypto market does not come close to the countries sales of oil in a few months. The continuing cry of "we are protecting the people" rings less true and is falling on deaf ears in most societies. People know when they are being suppressed, used or downright lied to but precious few will take a stand. Even in the Middle East, if populations fought for their rights it would be noticed. Problem is, most populations are complacent, they have learned to live with things the way they are so why make trouble, why try to change the way things work and risk loosing even more freedom?

And this is the problem, complacency breads control and loss of freedom. Crypto is, and always will be, a means of regaining some of that freedom. Granted, you may have to go underground in many places to exercise that freedom but, it's still better than living an oppressed life without hope. And that is one of the greatest benefits of crypto, hope. Being able to see a future where things are fair and equal and money is just a tool not a God.

What is involved in running a seed node and do you need more?

How long have you been involved in crypto? In ARDR? You're not thinking clearly, assets usually don't keep gaining value, there has to be a fall sometime. If the asset has value in other ways, it's will raise again and, likely fall again. The game is to buy and sell at the proper times. Or, if you have the stomach for it, simply hold till your sell price is eventually reached. With all the pending moves about to hit in the crypto market, there really isn't much debate about the value going up, the debate is about when it will go up.

Will the fall of most ALT coins and, Bitcoin for that matter ever end? Of course it will, just market dynamics.

Copy and paste? Really? Some original thought would have been nice...

This is big. The Holy grail of crypto is adoption and Pundi plus Verge is a match made in heaven! Pundi seems to be innovative, well designed and, it appears, easy to setup and use. Small terminals with multi pay capability are what many businesses, especially "Mom & Pop" shops, are moving to. And diversity in payment options in that small package is the thing that will carry this forward. The one thing I don't see on their world map is North America (US) penetration. Is this by design or is there some legal issue with the US preventing them from operating here? Also, is this an exclusive with Verge or will other cryptos be included?

Sounds good, keep up the great work!

Written as only a Canadian could! Nice job Brandon, tell it like it really is!

Barterdex Still in beta but operational:

Look a couple posts up and click the links. There is no "Howey Coin"!

This is amazing, if was still in college, I would use this as my thesis on human behaviour. Incredible...

Whatever your agenda is, it will fail, you have to know that. Sad little trolls like you keep the rest of us amused but, you are quite annoying...

DNotes is now a POS coin, you "mine" in the wallet, no external equipment required. All your other questions can be answered in the OP of this forum or, at DNotes Website: https://dnotescoin.com/

In the text "Behind the Scenes", the word "scenes" shows up in white, I assume it may have been a link or, should be light blue to fit the theme? Also, in the "Choose your wallet" section, second line of icons, third position, is blank, no icon. I don't see anything else obvious right now but, I'll let you know if I do..
 

Yea, that's a pretty classy move, the more people you include, the more respect you will garner. Security should be easy, users should not have to figure it out, it should be second nature. Nice...

It's all a game of fear and intimidation. These election boards don't understand crypto therefore they believe what they hear from the fear mongers, money laundering and illegal donations, no KYC, supporting foreign governments, unfair advantage, the whole playbook. It won't always be this way, the old guard will slowly come around or, quite frankly, they will die off.  

When your yardstick is marked off in units of fear and loathing, it's pretty hard to get an accurate measure of the real situation. We need to hand out accurate yardsticks to these people...

Well, that's partially true. To be viable in the long run you need to have technology that other people will want to pay for or at least use in creating value. Cheer leaders aren't much good without a team, a plan, and a product that is in demand. Fortunately, Komodo's ecosystem is gaining more and more adopters and followers so, yes, the future looks bright.
