Hey guys, there are two different difenitions: Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. A lot of experts say that crypto is going to die soon but blockchain itself is a very useful technology. What do you think are they right? Do you think blockchain can exist without cryptocurrency?
I would like to know who are those experts and what are their arguments to make such a catastrophic prediction on cryptocurrencies. It sounds more like a wishful thinking than anything else.

This is only an unimportant tweet made by a millionaire in his twitter account, nothing more. If someone is going to get excited because of this tweet, he will be disappointed soon.

it's a good thought, but for crypto to ever be able to function like debit cards, it'd require a lot of things we don't have today! like, any wrong purchase or scam today can be refunded via the bank (generally). what would make people switch over to something, which not only is "new technology", but also an entirely new concept? if crypto ever is to be well adopted as a payment method, there needs to be so many things to ensure that it functions safely and is "fool proof" I believe. unless 30-40-50 years pass so the new generations grew up with crypto? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) This is one of the challenges of cryptocurrencies, they will bring you freedom but in exchange you have to accept that all responsibility for your funds is yours alone. It's a new mentality, and that doesn't happen overnight.

I use waves DEX everyday. I think waves is undervalued now but need more development for keeping scam project out. There are a lot of opportunities to gain profit from the platform, you can make weekly trades with good % profit but most of the waves altcoins has lack of liquidity.
When you talk about scam tokens, do you mean unverified tokens? I remember they used to verify tokens created on their platform after checking that there was a real project behind, they always recommended to trade only verified tokens.

Maybe most traders are not aware of all the changes that Waves platform has made in the last months, they haven't done much publicity about it either. Anyway, if people keep using the platform, and they manage to fix the lack of liquidity of their DEX, sooner or later Waves will be in a higher place.

With Myetherwallet you can send them like any ERC20 token, there's no problem. With the other wallets I don't really know.

I don't think anyone control the market currently, but I'm afraid that large corporations will control the most important coins in the future. People will not be aware, but big players will takeover the control.
I don't know if they will get it but I'm sure they are trying, using media to spread FUD according their interest. At the end, it will depend on people, they will have to choose between holding their coins and, therefore, their power, or give it away to those big players.

But what I have noticed here is the reason for the bear market, well, they assume that if they force it to be able to listing as soon as possible, then what happens is a massive dump and will never be able to rise. This is strange, none of the crypto currency does not experience a dump.
Of course this is a strange reason if the developer is a professional in the world of economics and crypto, why? Because many new altcoins are listing in the exchange, they experience a dump but manage to rise again.
True, but this process, from the initial dump to the rise, is much longer now, it takes much more time, and in the meantime they have to deal with negativity and complaints from the investors, maybe this is what they are trying to avoid.

Yeah i have also experienced this especially hitbtc and a few others charge very high amount of coins as a withdrawal fee which is not right, sometimes we do not have any option because the intended coin or token is only available at a specific exchange, i think we should discourage such exchanges by not using them so that they realize that they are charging very high fee and then start charging less fee.
The case of HitBTC is curious since this exchange also charges deposit fees which seems totally ridiculous to me. Withdrawal fees rose sharply last year when bitcoin fees went up. Now it happens that the bitcoin fees are very low, you can move bitcoin almost free, but the exchanges have not lowered their fees. Besides, they put several withdrawals in a single transaction, with which they earn even more money.

hace varios meses que escucho en vlogs de youtube sobre economia que habra una crisis economica global, y que para el 2020 todo colapsara, realmente me pregunto si esto beneficiara al mundo de las criptomonedas o tambien quedara perjudicado como todo ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Muchas gracias por las referencias En ésto hay teorías para todos los gustos. Hay quien opina que la gente podría ver las criptomonedas, o al menos bitcoin, como una especie de refugio, también hay quien opina todo lo contrario, en todo caso, mejor no tener que comprobarlo.

I'm glad to know your opinions about that...
Try to image 10 years from now...It will be comparable with 2009 "early adopters"?
No, it's not comparable at all. Although we are still at an early stage, it's not the same as in 2009. Now it's much easier to join this ecosystem and bet on its future. Bitcoin is much better known now than ten years ago. Those who got into bitcoin from the beginning did it because they really believed in an idea, not because they saw an article in a newspaper explaining how bitcoin reached $20,000. The real early adopters are them.

I don't expect many changes by the end of the year, unless the SEC approves an ETF and people go crazy. However, next year I think there will be a bull market and an expansion of cryptocurrencies like there was last year, I'm seeing things that are aligning in that sense.

a few days ago we have heard that USDT will be delisted in binance, and after the news spread, soon the BTC price rose quite high, from that incident I began to believe that maybe this was a bull market sign, but what happened today is the market is not green, but red. how do you comment about that?
In reality, the Bitcoin price didn't rise that much, take into account that USDT is not the same as USD. The USDT price fell drastically, that's why the price of bitcoin was much higher compared to USDT but it barely increased slightly in relation to the dollar. As for the bull market, you will still have to wait some time.

No le hará ni cosquillas. Además, si los van a subastar no los van a vender en un exchange así que ni siquiera se verá la típica vela roja de un dump.

I am very enthusiastic this news, it is very important for future massive adoption. Many people think that ETFs will help cryptocurrencies, but this is more important at all.
I agree. In addition, they have been very smart in creating a terminal that serves both as a payment terminal and as an ATM. In this way, not only do they allow people to pay with their cryptos, but anyone who doesn't know them and is curious can buy cryptocurrencies right there.

Even if you are day trading you should never leave your coins in the exchange, after all at some point you are going to stop trading for the day, whether this is because you have to sleep or because you have something else to do, but whatever the reason you are going to stop trading at some point and it is way better to just withdraw your coins from the exchange, it is true that you have to pay fees to transfer your coins back and forth several times but if you are not producing enough profits with your day trading just to pay the transaction cost then you should probably review your strategy, doing this may seem as doing too much to some people but when the exchange gets hacked and your coins are safely stored in your wallet that is when you are going to appreciate going through all of that trouble.
Hacking is not the only problem you can have if you leave your coins in an exchange. Sometimes, the exchanges change their policies all of a sudden, they may require new verification levels and ask you for documentation while they freeze your funds.

AS far as i'm concerned , the government will not allow the world lead to a cashless society , as this is to be true , the government find it very hard to control, thereby society is so complex and complicated
It's actually the opposite of what you said, a cashless society is easier to control because cash is the only private payment method we have with fiat currency. Exactly, a cashless society is the dream of any government. They could know absolutely everything about you. Where do you spend your money, when you do it, what are the things you buy, your likes, your vices... everything.

OP was thinking if these icos are creating conference for money purpose. So many icos have been doin their own conferences to attract more investors to join in their crowdsale dude. When the conference will be doing by an ico after the crowdsale and it's to attract the buyers. But only a few conferences that created by competence blockchain team.
ICOs creating conferences or attending conferences? What I have seen is ICOs teams going to conferences organized to talk about the blockchain in general, which are quite interesting when it comes to making cryptocurrencies known to a wider audience.

Don't worry about the bad publicity, when the media owners and shareholders have bought a good handful of bitcoins, you will start to see positive news all around.

A mí también me suscita dudas. Principalmente una: ¿En qué momento ha decidido Binance que quiere dejar de ganar dinero? "Algo huele a podrido en Dinamarca ..."
Ya lo ganarán por otro lado. El pago de la tarifa de listado no es el único requisito que piden los exchanges. Si no me equivoco, leí por ahí que también piden a las ICOs un depósito en tokens, supongo que la cantidad de este depósito será ligeramente mayor a partir de ahora. Pero bueno, la operación publicitaria les ha quedado bien.
