The only new in this scam scheme is the use of Bitcoin as the way to pay or transfer funds. I have already heard many similar schemes where scammers are calling people in order for them to trick to do something. There is even big possibility that the operation is connected with those done in an African country. We should always be careful especially with people who just called us out of nowhere and pretending to be connected with the government.

The digital gold is here and it is called as Bitcoin. The ad is very convincing but those of us here in this industry know them already...what we need is to spread the same message to more and more people so they can think and decide to be a part of the digital gold revolution. Unlike traditional platform, Bitcoin is not actually heavily promoted because there is no centralized organization dealing with its marketing department. |So it is always nice to see promotional materials focusing on Bitcoin. I am looking forward for more ads like this.

I am not expert on the technical aspects of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency for that matter but based on what I read and heard, yes all transactions in the Bitcoin ecosystem can be tracked as the records can easily be found and mined if you have the time. This is the reason why Bitcoin can be considered as transparent but also the reason why this is not so private and anonymous.

Believing in something or an idea is not equivalent to a religion. Do you believe in yourself? Does it mean you are therefore a religion? Granting that when you believe in something, there can be some similarities when you are a member of a certain religion but those similarities ends in there. and not unless you are the one running your own religion, here in Bitcoin you have the chance of making some money because Bitcoin can also be considered as an investment and that is something you can never found in any religion.

This kind of shallow definition of a religion can make any membership to any club, organization, association or any group for that matter also a religion. Religion is much more than that as it involves spiritual concepts and ideas...are we spiritual here in Bitcoin? Nah, I don't think so.

Bitcoin is still never perfect and there are many things that need improvement especially in the face of many challenges of the modern financial system. One, the transaction time is still not on par with the best of the world can offer but continuous research and testing on this aspect is ongoing. I guess we should always consider Bitcoin as a work in progress. There will always be obstacles and setbacks along the way but there is no question that the future belongs to cryptocurrency. Soon even traditional institutions will be coming up with their own pseudo-cryptocurrency and this can be the big testament of the effectiveness of Bitcoin. One major concern I have with Bitcoin is the power needed for its mining and confirming operation...maybe there must be ways to lessen this electric demand because remember we are supposed to be in the age where environmental concerns are valid issues the global village has to address heads-on.

This is may not the bull run but we are already experiencing upward movement and in my opinion I would prefer something like this rather than a bull run which can produce so much speculations and overheating. A slow and steady growth can be what we really need as it can be easier to manage and adoption of the underlying technology is slowly rising also. Bull run can be exciting though there is no question on that and there can be more media coverage inflaming more interest and participation from the masses.

There is no question that IEO can better than ICO all because the whole crowdsale activity is primarily done within the exchange so there is no more need for the project to apply to an exchange except adding new ones. However, we sill also be careful because not all exchanges have good reputations. Once the necessary trading volume of the project can't be sustainable anymore the exchange may have no choice but to drop the project. ICO has already suffered irreparable damage into its reputation due to many scams sprouting like mushrooms left and right. The market is now demanding something new and better.

This is heading nowhere. In my opinion, XBY is just another of the many failed projects which is now bordering to be a "scam" unless the people behind this project do wake-up and do something about it. I got my XYB in one of the many exchanges and until now I could not move it as the exchange also do not care. I am therefore one of the many helpless victims of this project. Guys, always be careful with any project that you participate because most of these projects are just there for the sake of getting money from us.

I am sure that this can be floated by people connected with those governmental agencies though it can be hard to know their real motives...will it be to rattle the people behind Binance so they will submit to their wills and whims? Anyway, I am certain that Binance can weather any storm coming into its way with flying colors. I am still a believer in Binance though I am sure it is not a perfect exchange and there are things they can do more.

I am already a signed member of this crypto-lending platform and I am watching whether this can be a serious contender and has long-term potential in this industry. I am sure this can command a big share of the current market since many players in the past just withered (hope this will not happen to Nexo also). Does anybody know how much can I loan with a cryptocurrency that I deposit with Nexo?

There is no question that as of today BNB is making a big killing in the marketplace. People are even still expected that this can grow more within this year. Sadly, I sold my BNB when it was at the $5 level...a very sad decision which is still haunting me right now. The potential of this token is very much tied to the Binance exchange and since Binance is killing the competition the token is also flying high. Congrats to those who took the ride with BNB.

Craig Wright is a man who always love publicity and has this grand assumption that he is a very important man in this side of the universe. Maybe this suit can be the best way for him to prove of his claim to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto so that the podcaster can be wrong. Anyway, we should be glad that Craig Wright is actually contributing something for the advancement of the blockchain and cryptocurrency movement and that is being a comical relief. Good job, sir Wright...way to go, man!

Hackers are now really using their talents and genius in order to inflict pain to others and to gain wealth for themselves and in today's cryptocurrency-loving society they are finding a big paradise to explore and exploit. Hence, we users have the responsibility to do what we can do on our side in order to protect our digital assets which can easily gone with the wind once these evil people can gain access. We should always use 2FA in all our exchange accounts...this should already be one of the basic protection measures we should adopt.

Service providers are right now ramping up with their offerings so as to entice more and more users to get involved with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I have not yet used Square Cash app but this is interesting and I am really curious to know if this is a good company to deal with. There is now a big demand for the same service and soon customers or users will be the real winners with this development.

Gazprom is Russia-based global energy company and is the symbol of Russian wealth and influence. Gazprom is now ready to start implementing the process” of digitizing contracts using blockchain technology. Gazprom developed prototype model would allow data sharing between contract participants as well as help protect their security. Gazprom developed a prototype of a technological platform to automate the process of concluding, monitoring and executing contracts. This system also provides for automated arbitrage and calculation of payments for gas. Gazprom will begin working with some big industrial consumers to implement the automated processes. 

This is just another validation of the value and contribution that the blockchain technology can do to any industry and organization all willing to adopt the innovations and changes necessary.

Such a great talent and genius can be put to use for the benefit of the cryptocurrency industry. How I wish that instead of victimizing other people, he could have put up his own fintech company offering many good services and products for the whole industry to enjoy. Anyway, he is still young and he can spent 10 years in jail sharpening his skills and I am hope this time around with legitimate activities that can make his own parents, friends and relative so proud. This is a great reminder to people of the same skills and talent to use them well...

I have no doubt that eventually the government can be coming up with its long overdue regulatory sandbox for Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency industry. This is a matter of time especially if crypto-leaning leaders within and without the country will show their support for this movement. Though I am sad that it is taking some time for this to happen, we have to respect the government's decision on the said matter. I am encouraging cryptocurrency enthusiasts and lovers in India to continue expressing their support for Bitcoin so that the government will eventually see the need to make it legitimate.

There are now many governmental agencies in many parts of the world that are now starting to accept payments using Bitcoin and even other well-known cryptocurrencies as well. However, this does not mean that the government has already approved Bitcoin as far as its legitimacy is concerned. For these agencies, this is just another way they can provide easier ways that people can pay their obligations. However, this can be a good start and soon we can have the government take a look at ways they can support Bitcoin. I am just hoping that more taxpayers can be paying their tax with Bitcoin so these agencies can be encouraged to continue working with Bitcoin.

There will always be a big market for t-shirt business since people of all ages can be your captive market. Here in the world of cryptocurrency, many people would love to wear something that can identify with their love for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This is just a matter of offering attractive designs or maybe let your customers choose the design they would love to be printed on their ordered t-shirts or even other apparels. Another thing you have to focus on is the marketing...as this is the arena where even good business can fail and die. Good luck on your endeavor!

The business environment in the Philippines as far as Bitcoin and even other cryptocurrencies is facing a bright future. We have governmental agencies who are not closing their mindset on this new development as they know that the country can eventually benefit from this rising trend. The service provider called Coins.Ph has been doing a generally good job in responding to the needs f the Filipino people. I could not think many people can be able to participate with Bitcoin without Coins.Ph. And now we also have coming competitors all making this industry here merrier and more exciting.
