I think the same argument could be made for the Internet with centralised players loosing control over 'the message' but here we are with the Grand Old Lady called the Internet. While it may not be the fully decentralised wonder the anarchists hoped for, it's still there, not 'closed down' prematurely as a perceived threat.
The same will probably happen with cryptocurrencies. I cannot imagine this will be 'closed down' (in fact, it's impossible) but I do see every reason that this tech will be coopted and molded in variants to be used by the larger part of the public, firmly controlled by our institutions. And frankly, I do not worry about this. It's a fact that the large part of the herd sticks with the perceived leader, no matter what.

Dimon is the best PR that cryptocurrencies can get. I hope he revisits the topic many times in the future.

Bitcoin is the Better Story when it boils down to the concept of money. That and its resilient nature will keep people attracted to it and with ample growth still ahead in the field of cryptocurrencies, I consider $10,000 only a first stepping stone.
HODL and accumulate.

The attack would point to exchanges, unless Dimon of course comes over to 'close Bitcoin down'  Dimon = the new Chuck Norris |

I wonder what taps the device can run (Android?). And Google apps are probably out of the question. And it is not clear to me what the 'Blockchain' aspect of this phone is.

You are in the wrong chat.
On topic: why an Australian exchange (exclusively) if the bank concerned is operating from and in the European Union?

I'm having a little problem when I try to register on official DO forum. I fill all field and it keeps saying: ''Please correct the following errors:Please enter a value that matches the required format.'' In a field that requires bitcointalk ID I put my nickname from here, correct ? everything else seems correct for me .
Insert your ID number. Not your name. |

After all these years, I just learned that. HODL, never sell. The only action allowed is accumulate (preferably when price is weak). But I will become more active again when my TenX card arrives. I am going to add my small contribution to the growing pool of people that actually spend cryptocurrencies in day-to-day life. Holding in crypto, spending as fiat, seamlessly. |

The price is not important at this stage. It is about building a strong community and top notch software now. The rest can come later.

That is a lot of stress for a dev handing out free coins. Let him work off the remainder of the list for the 2nd Airdrop in peace.

This one is for a large part the same as the Ethereum white paper. |

I already went to 2.4. Version I used before was 2.4. I am just applying the script you suggested, but I already created 100+ addresses now and still zero balance. I am sure I have never created more than 40 addresses with the same account on 2.4. This is very strange.
So you had your full balance when on 2.4 (and you did change your seed in the transition when moving to 2.4)? |

Since I updated to v2.5 today I can not see my account balance anymore. It is 0. I have created 96 addresses now. I am sure I had around 30-40 addresses created for the account before the update. One week ago I logged in last time and my balance was fine. Any hints what to do?
See my post above with the video on the Reddit script 52 Attempts, and did not work. Someone knows how I can recover my 100 miotas, they were in the 2.3 portfolio and I could not transfer to 2.4. Is there a way to recover?
If you were still on the 2.3 version and never 'officially' went to 2.4, you have some more work to do, I think. One of the things that was done in that 'upgrade' was users having to give up their old seed and transitioning to a new seed. I think that is what is giving you trouble now (I assume you never upgraded your old '2.3 seed', right?). |

Bitcoin, systemically, is free from these burdens.[/size]
To rhyme with this article, Bitcoin: - is not held as a reserve yet (we are slowly making steps in this direction, for instance with solutions like TenX whereby people hold in crypto but can spend in fiat)
- is not used to take out loans (the reason is simple: much to risky for a debtor to take a debt denominated in Bitcoin, as the price may rise astronomically
The price of Bitcoin should be much higher and the rate much more stable before both these elements become more prevalent. Bitcoin is taking baby steps in that direction on its journey to a grown-up currency. And debt denominated in Bitcoin will probably never be very popular, because monetary inflation will - in the end - be nearly absent. |

Dividends are interesting for holders of PAY tokens, but for the majority the focus is in receiving a card and start using it. A recent article of Charles Hughes Smith got me thinking about the further adoption of Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general). As a summary: for broad adoption of cryptocurrencies, people need to start holding cryptocurrencies as a reserve. Solutions as offered by TenX could be the start of this, but people doing so will probably hold only small amounts to contain the risk of big price swings. But the more people do so, the more cryptocurrencies will reach levels whereby large price swings will be absent. It always takes a first step. TenX will change the way we pay. |

The King's picture reminds me a bit of Super Maria Bros. Kind of applicable because gaming also started slowly and in [low]bit graphics. Look at where we are now  |
