See blockchain is some high level technology which was long thought about by people where it would eleminate the multicentric tasks, it's very simple, very efficient and very effective .

Blockchain is a very Transparent network which can help eradicate the corruption from the governmental bodies too.

Here are some examples where the blockchain can be used *credits are reserved for the people who made it* , therefore I want to prove a point that it's not just Universities and college where it can be used there are a lot more implications , depends on the acceptance by the body themselves.

It can :
1. Store data for the college
2. Store the log of funds being transferred in the university's account
3. More secure
4. Transparent
5. Put an end to corruption

If I did know the private key of the aforesaid person , I would not touch the coins at the end of the day we are responsible for the image of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins and also our image in our own soul.

There is no way that I would like to think otherwise plus this is really a bad idea and I don't really like the intentions you might have had while posting this comment.

I have a local Bitcoin community , most people I know , acquaintances and they do need help sometimes with buying/selling of Bitcoins so they transfer their money to me or their cryptocurrencies in my wallet. It have never ever crossed my mind to do something pity. All am worried about is their money being safe.

If there is any money that a person should claim and respect is their own hard-earned money .

I hope the person did keep his Bitcoins safe and maybe he should shift the Bitcoins in a hardware wallet securely and these kind of information should not be posted , where did the privacy in cryptocurrencies went ?

Let's be responsible 💪

If you do think that your information is not with the FBI even right now , I think you might be wrong .

It's more or so a known fact that the apps we use like Facebook and all , do sell the user's data to the government of different nations , at the same time if someone did file a complain against you or if you did something questionable then people might be tracking your every step .

Now the government is forcing the wallet companies to use KYC , at the same time they are forcing banks to do KYC too , or else they just shut off the account and you have to do a lot of things to make it work again , therefore when you buy cryptocurrencies from your bank accounts or when it's being deposited there , that information is easily accessible to the government body at the same time blockchain stores the data of any transaction forever which can be used by anyone .

I do think FBI have realized this by now and would be using this to track people they think are fishy.  If they did not make life difficult for the investors right now I do think they will do it in the future too since blockchain is providing them with data which can be accessed if the person is crypto savy , honestly I don't think they will make anything difficult for anyone.

We already have more transparency than the governmental system.

People all around the world are searching for Bitcoins online in the middle of the night
This statement itself states how press coverage have become more realistic and at the same time the negative comments by the media have actually decreased a bit.

This was bound to happen .

When centralized power fails sooner or later the decentralized network will be recognized for what it is . The Investors are looking for a way out since the stock markets right now might be doing good for the long term investments but for the short term investments I don't think there is anything better than cryptocurrencies right now.

Plus large scale media coverage is all about Corona virus and cryptocurrencies is least of their concerns , halving on the other hand did not do anything this time , it's more or less not volatile right now and it's more important than halving drastically increasing the price .

https://www.forbes.com/sites/benjaminpirus/2020/02/20/bitcoins-2020-rally-more-sustainable-than-2019-surge/

Sustainability is more important than anything here and even though the media might not give a fair word out , what matters is people are sharing their positive experiences and such . The thing is cryptocurrencies usage depends on how you use them at the end of the day .

I do think whatever you have listed in the list all of them are equally important at the same time :

* It should be easy to use even for people who are not that familiar with internet so that it will have a wider audience

*It should also interactive support for the people who are using it.
Like some chat head in the corner where people can put up their comments and experience

*At the same time you can try working out with smart contracts if some big transaction is made

* You guys can provide link to the recent events happening online all at one place so that users can switch the screens and watch too on your site.

* You can legally inform the users that your company is established and been in the market since a long time , most users are afraid to use any site

What I want to ask is :
How do you guys want to establish instant withdrawals ? That's really really important.

What matters is trust the users will have , therefore you have to first strengthen that and asking people what they need is actually a good go.

First thing, the government and the big companies will never favour decentralization , this is how they earn money and dominance in the first place , do you think they will give it up ?

The government will for sure take any precautions they can if they see Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies being too famous .

It's not about it's applications and what's better , it's about : will they allow it ?

How they can allow it :
I do think in democratic countries we already have laws concerned with privacy and free will , maybe we can turn up to the government and remind them that they work for us not the other way around and make sure cryptocurrencies are given freedom of existing at least.

Plus government and the business companies are actually seeing these cryptocurrencies as a form of money making scheme at the same time the network provides 100% transparency , so they are forming a long term scheme named : digital dollar , digital rupee , digital yuan and stuff like that .
These are not cryptocurrencies these are Fiat.

But cryptocurrencies is a revolution , the government have realized this by now therefore I do think we will see more financial freedom , more stability , better facilities and more options in the coming future.

I do think most of the people out there are aware of the fact that many big celebrity bands and companies due to Quarantine Declined the payment to the people working for them in small underdeveloped countries like Bangladesh.
People started commenting on the posts of these brands and celebs *pay up* , the comments were soon turned off on their Instagram handle.
I do not know if this topic has already been started but I did think it would help to spread the word.
_________________________________________________________

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/05/869486297/for-bangladeshs-struggling-garment-workers-hunger-is-a-bigger-worry-than-pandemi

A sad statement by a worker mentioned:
*I will die of hunger before I die of the virus*

Some brands agreed to pay up after the people were enraged and in distress , it's a small price to pay when these people are not even making 100$ a month and they are selling the product they make 10 times the profit sometimes.

__________________________________________________________ Around £2.4 billion was withheld from the workers of small factories.

Even celebs like Kylie Jenner who makes more than what these workers combined would make in a lifetime ignored the plea of the workers asking them to pay them so that they don't die of hunger.

All of this shows the effects of quarantine , the declining economic situation have sure effected the small companies, minority workers paid not even what we would call a reasonable payment.

All of it have affected the small workers and companies more , problem is most of their companies are even eligible for the government grants !!

Human rights workers contacted these companies and talked with them too , good news is some companies did agree to pay up and at the same time they distributed masks for the workers and improved the health conditions.

This is how unfair the economy is , this is what we mean when we say the poor is getting poorer and the rich is getting Richer .

I do think these companies and celebs should not only pay up they should also face charges for doing this .

[ This is how strong the company label is , it might have been made in a small slum area but when it goes to big countries and companies its sold off for 10-20 times their normal value ]

What if these people , these small workers start their own brands and directly receive payments in Bitcoins ?  What matters is skills , the price will be cheaper for the person buying it and these people will even make more.
[ Payments options can be varied , they can accept wide variety of payments and maybe educated people living near them can help them with investments , even if they start selling their products locally it would be a great deal ! ]

This is why educating people about their options are important, I do think we should spread the word , support the small markets , this pandemic has shown how pity some of these big companies are .

It might and might not come . It depends on the company itself if they are willing to opt for cryptocurrencies.

Pros:

1. Privacy
2. More diversity
3. Transparent network
4. Transactions stay in the network for eternity, can be verified anytime by anyone.

Cons:

1. People generally will have to pay fee while sending cryptocurrencies
2. Not that recognized and established by the government
3. Possible scams

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crypto gambling is a emerging industry which is as old as nearly cryptocurrencies themselves , the casinos and faucets have been there since long therefore I do think if we consider the situation after 10 more years we will be able to see some more innovations . I am already baffled by the scope and the amount of diversity in the gambling section related to Cryptocurrencies.

I would like to say that no matter what it wasn't justifiable in any way , these people might be gullible , might be going through a tough time, might have lost their jobs , might have wanted to get rich fast who know ? At the end of the day it's wrong to actually take any step that would cause unnecessary harm to someone.
Plus I do think Only people who don't have much money did fall the victims since people who are rich and accomplished they don't need to start something like this . This scam was already going on for quite some time. When Elon Musk did post people should have found out about it sooner , I do think next time something like that happens we have to actually share it with more people so that they can understand that it's not a true statement and such , I really feel sorry for the people who did got scammed but :

1. Let's share more about this so that we can spread the information, to educate others about the ways scammers can use you

2. Remember that it wasn't the fault of Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies ! It was the fault of Twitter ! They should have spent all that money on being extra secure

3. I sincerely hope that government and Twitter hires cryptocurrencies specialists and track the person down somehow if possible.

4. I do think that Twitter should pay some amount to these people if they can .

Let us remember that There is nothing of the sort by the name *Easy money*

{ This scam reminds me of a movie I watched as a kid , same plot ! Just added cryptocurrencies in , maybe they were inspired by that movie }

It is not just Elon musk , it's also Joe Biden and other famous high profile celebrities. But I do think people should have already recognized this , this is practically impossible to actually begin with , if they keep doubling up the money of the people like this , they are very successful businessman and they did not reach there by doing this.

The problem is not with the Bitcoins or cryptocurrencies ! Problem is with Twitter ! The sole reason this scam was successful in the first place is the fault of Twitter .

Plus the scammers were able to accumulate actually a lot of money through this but one should understand that If something is so good to be true it's truly a scam! The only reason why these scams propel and accumulate anything is because of *greed* , we should learn few things here:

1. Don't be greedy and work hard to earn your own money
2. Educate yourself about scams like these
3. If something is so good to be true it's definitely fishy
4. Don't trust anything even if it's from the Twitter of some known celebrity ! Send money to someone you don't know personally only after thorough research.
5. Don't place your bets on the social media
6. Since hackers are able to pull things like this , This really shows us how we need to actually learn about ethical hacking early on so that we can tackle it safely , employee people who are familiar with this stuff , degree doesn't matter !

See there is one thing that everyone needs to know about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins :
Only 10% of the Bitcoins are used in illegal activities.

This do mean that what you said about cryptocurrencies being the problem here , it's not cryptocurrencies it's the people since cash is used more in money laundering and stuff as compared to cryptocurrencies + at the same time the government is making it harder for people to follow up using cryptocurrencies. KYC and using all the personal information is actually something that the government is using to parse your personal information therefore eventually if you do attempt to do anything you will be caught since cryptocurrencies are actually very transparent !! , so these scammers should know better.

It have not actually created any issues for sure.

I do think that networking problem and scams are as likely to occur using your bank account and stuff , I do believe that I heard that someone was asked to transfer like 3000$ in BTC using BTC ATM to someone and the problem is people need to educate themselves about all these situations , if it's too good to be true it's definitely fishy .

All we need is good education regarding the scams other than that I don't think blaming cryptocurrencies is any good.

What I have realized is : People are not scared of Corona virus anymore , businesses are all open and things are going as normal as you expect them to be. At the same time few things should be kept in mind :

1. This pandemic have put internet usage and the usage of computers on the top shelf , job companies are going forth to only those people who do know how to handle things since most of the things are now online.

2. We have seen a wider acceptance of the cryptocurrencies and other digital stuff that people used to label as scam and all.

3. More jobs are shifting to home therefore I do think this does improve the situation for the long term too since we are able to explore more areas in that section, who knows people might continue working from home after the pandemic.

4. It has encouraged me to support local businesses and stores , buying stuff from the local farmers is not only cheaper , it's also a better quality.

-------

At the same time I would like to justify a statement when someone said there is no cure for Corona virus :

There is , plasma is working fine in most of the cases and the thing is we haven't found a cure yet , but there is a cure for everything! At the same time the mutation of virus won't matter much if the vaccination is made on time since it will broadly work on the coronaviruses as a whole.

Keep your immunity strong + work out + stay healthy , rest it's not a bad disease , it's just highly infectious (taken you don't have heart problems and other genetic problems) .

This can be prevented 100% by the usage of masks !!

For all the people asking about the context :
By free the writer wants to convey that the market is not governed by any centralized body , it is more or so decentralized like Bitcoins.
______________________________________________________________

I do think even though Gold and Bitcoins , these assets are more or so non centralized they do have the scope for being used by the whales and the institutions in a way that it will affect the small Investors.

Most whales do try to send money from one wallet to another to generate whale alerts , which makes the people buy a lot then they sell off when the price is right .

But ! Contrary to this we have seen more or so a certain price of Bitcoins which have been non-volatile considering the past , which means that we have achieved a stability (or it might even be the calm before the storm ).

The fact that gold is indispensable part of the society does guarantee it's relatively stable overall value over the years , it's for sure an amazing investment , plus you don't loose much even if the market is down.

_________________________________________________________________

I do think what I would like in a free market would be complete elemination of the middle man , I cannot stress this enough but this dominance needs to end ! We should have courses to teach the farmers and small traders about Bitcoins and online commodity markets , which could be very beneficial for them . People needs to learn , the internet is a powerful tool if used correctly.

If we have to we can actually list 100's of reasons , the economic situation in a country is determined by so many factors which are again related to even more of them .

The main things that we all have read in civics is -
Land
Labour
Capital
Businesses

_________________________________________________________________
Then we have :
Culture
Education
Wages
GDP
Natural resources availability and usage
HISTORY
Legal and political system
Government laws and their effects
______________________________________________________________________
History is a very unfair point but unfortunately it is something to be considered, the British empire ruled 80 countries , took all their money , gold , natural resources and added it to theirs , they for sure have an unfair advantage over the economy of other countries.

The African continent was unfairly ruled and used by other countries , they did have an amazing history and resources, all these wars and the greed to dominate other Nations have made some countries underdeveloped and some developed. But in some years I do think countries can plan ahead and reach their full potential. Thus improving their economic situation.
(I do think the countries who ruled other nations unfairly should actually pay for the drastic effects they did have on the ones they nearly destroyed)

One cannot soley rely on just cryptocurrencies and decentralized economy because at the end of the day it does need help from the centralized one to fully function. Therefore we can easily point out one thing that :
The growth of the economy will be dependent upon how the government handles and give freedom to the decentralized market.

In most of the cases the banks and the government are dead scared about giving cryptocurrencies freedom as this would mean , they are loosing their dominance, they are trying to hide the fact that they are banning cryptocurrencies soon by : Making their own digital currency , which is completely absurd.

I do think decentralized system can help the potential market to grow not just in the favour of the large business man but at the same time the person who makes those products and gets only 1/10th of the price. It could very easily eleminate the middle man and with the ability of Bitcoins to form smart contracts ( I do understand that it's not very good as compared to ETH ) it will be able to secure some transactions .

Government , the centralized economy is not equipped to handle bad situations and at the same time it does not give people freedom they deserve . This system can actually give the matters in the hands of people and most benefits will go to them with added privacy. But then again the governments won't let this happen.

Honestly no one's even praying for one . People invest when there is a stable situation in the house , I do not think a crisis would somehow make Bitcoins surge up. The fact is , right now we are not in a crisis , we are going towards one , the way US is handling the situation is quite weird , other than that we have seen many admirable examples from other countries with a relatively small population.
The way New Zealand handled the cases is admirable , even though they have low population and it was easy , it was still a tough job. Therefore I do believe that the whole world would be able to dodge this bullet since India has promised to give the vaccine by August and at the same time some countries have even passed trial 1-2.
2020 summed up:
Poverty and hunger a widespread
Economy is going to go down soon because of massive stimulus bills
Companies are firing people since they are themselves out of the business
People are not able to afford hospital care , hospitals are overflowing
There is no equality   
Bubonic plague is detected
Swine flu virus with pandemic potential is detected

BUT

Future hope and certainty of vaccination might prevent all of this
Business are not long beyond the quarantine time period they are just resuming as usual , people are not scared of the virus anymore they are scared of scarce food and possiblity of no money for the family .


At the end of the day , no one's praying for one ^

Apparently a survey conducted confirmed that 60% of the Investors will rather keep holding their Bitcoins till they die if the price does not exceed 10,000$

https://news.bitcoin.com/survey-60-of-bitcoin-investors-will-die-with-their-btc-if-price-stays-below-10000/

Few things to note here :

*People are serious about Bitcoins and do know the value of it
*They might be thinking of keeping it as inheritance money or something
*Bitcoin's value won't have any drastic effects since these people are more or so long term holders

This was a overall positive poll which showed the importance Bitcoins achieved now~




Positive things are always good to be shared , feel free to leave your thoughts on this , plus with the new crypto debit card to be launched are you guys gonna buy it ?

It's just for Europe right now but hopefully it will reach everyone soon.

Definitely the healthcare industry and the pharmacists have earned more than enough. They are charging ridiculous amount of fee from the common man, government often asked these hospitals to charge a reasonable fair but at the end of the day it's in their hands to decide.
https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/jul/01/burden-too-high-private-hospitals-charging-exorbitantly-claim-covid-19-patients-2163754.html
This is a news concerned to the country I belong to and I can verify since my family members also tried getting in for testing and their costs were very unreasonable.

At the same time they are coming up with new charges to increase the bills of the people out there.

At the same time I would like to share some things with you guys :

• Hospitals are charging 5 lakhs in advance which is equal to 6,654.21 United States Dollars
Some places are asking for 2000$ , prices are different but this is completely unreasonable considering the economy is down and plummeting , people don't have jobs how do they expect them to pay this much ?

•Some hospitals are outright denying admission in the hospital , you have to actually go through many people to find a place there

• People are expected to wear masks whereas the mask distribution is not done properly by the government , it's close to none !

•Some countries like Russia is blocking the medical supply to Ukraine for treatment of COVID-19 patients.

•Health insurance companies are declining the payment with respect to COVID-19

I don't think they should be even called winners , there guys are scammers who are right now in a time of need torturing people , this should be illegal.

As long as there is poverty in the world and people do not have smart devices and access to education , it would really be a problem when it comes to completely phasing out the Cash. Plus the system needs to be clean 100% , free of corruption and at the same time we need to understand that we cannot really expect the internet to come everywhere there are places in the world without mobile services , we won't be able to find a solution to that problem.
Unfortunately we cannot expect the old generation to know everything needed to use online banking , transactions, cryptocurrencies , it's really hard for them to adjust. Therefore as long as we remain neutral for everyone , we cannot completely take this step .
There are countries where people are provided with special privileges if they use online banking to make their transfections and there are companies even offering them discounts which actually makes the consumers more bent towards the online payments.
