What is defined as "blockchain companies" here? Does that term throw together ICOs along with legitimate companies, research projects along with private investments? I think that putting any and all of those together isn't fair game. The companies actually working on developing blockchain tech are very few. Although this sounds like good news for cryptos I think that it's quite inaccurate, although I don't think that there's solid foundations when dealing with such terminology so I don't put the blame anywhere.

The referrer rewards seem ridiculous. It's just too easy for web developers to put together something like this and claim that they are running a mining operation. If there's no hard proof by them, anything claimed should be regarded as a lie.

Alright, I confirm that I now got a working account from OP. All good and very direct, in spite of some delay. Although the "life time" length of his service is very much going to depend on how long he stays around for.

I do recognize the advantages of blockchain tech but for a system that involves so much state supervision the changes needed would perhaps be too extreme to implement in order to introduce it to health care. I think that use in the health sector would only come if there ever was major adoption in the private sector.

That's quite interesting. I think that there's a lot of competition and SIA certainly doesn't offer much more in terms of storage than an in-home drive would. Even in terms of decentralized cloud storage there are other alternatives, Sia is certainly overpriced and its rally seems to be coming to an end as bitcoin price also remains bearish lately. |

Everyone can agree that modern healthcare system leaves a lot to be desired. Patient is excluded from most decisions. Administrative transactions are so complicated that they can weeks even months. Coordinating care is manual and frustratingly difficult.
This leads to inefficiencies, waste, fraud, and over-utilization.
Proper application of Blockchain/DLT gives us an opportunity to decentralize the administration and coordination of healthcare, in a manner that will bring clarity and efficiency to the system.
We can actually optimize and automate much of the friction associated with the 3rd party payment model. And we can fundamentally change the way care is coordinated. The result will be savings of billions of dollars every year and perhaps more importantly, engagement and empowerment of consumers and care providers.
What is it that healthcare is lacking now? Is it that the clearence for payments in single payer systems isn't all that fast, or could you be talking about non single payer systems? Either way, I think that manual procedures are necessary to some extent when it comes to health-care. Sure, blockchains are good for transactioning, rpoof of payment and perhaps even record keeping but I wouldn't see them becoming a major part of helathcare orgs |

I'll be following OP's claim for now, on getting accounts in 2-3 days. To report on my vouch, I have not received a working account till now.

You know, if usage for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies doesn't increase over reasonable demand I don't think that a speculative rally is going to keep on for years. A massive correction could hit the crypto economy at any time so hoping on such a price rise is not all that reasonable to me. There are many hurdles to overcome to reach adoption.

Tether is literally using a technology ON bitcoin, the Omni layer (AKA Mastercoin). Without bitcoin, Tether doesn't exist.
Ripple is another story, but I don't think it's close to what's in the series. I think that a more simple structure would fit what's described, like perhaps e-banking with a global electronic asset that's going to serve corporations more than it serves a state-centered economy. The series goes a bit too far to portray such evils of corporations (literally naming the biggest corporation Evil Corp etc.)

The nature of cryptocurrencies is very political because no single government that can control them. Unlike all other forms of wealth that can be expropriated from the individual. Also people are coming to understand that cryptocurrencies is a better form of money because they are governed by code alone, which makes the contract digital sacrosanct
There are internal power struggles in the crypto space too, there's no denying it. Bitcoin is the biggest cryptocurrency and arguably it's already fallen pray to speculators and developers that are more after personal gain other than integrity of the code base and the overall good of the ecosystem. Thankfully community outcry prevents major mishaps from taking place but it's not that of a great way to do damage control. |

China and JP Morgan just playing classic strategy on bitcoin. Now they announcement bitcoin illegal, when price down because panic attack they buy bitcoin, and then they will create new announcement that bitcoin is legal... and kind of that. so bitcoin price up again, and they wealth is higher more than before. lol... Classic business strategy.   I don't think that JP Morgan has much to gain from such activities. Crypto markets are unprotected from manipulation but JP has a lot more to lose from even attempting to manipulate such an esoteric market as bitcoin in my opinion. |

If we're going to stat suing people for attempting to manipulate bitcoin markets then we have a long backlog to cover.  Answer me this: Do you think that those things are to toy with when bitcoin is so far succeeding for not being suppressed under the current economy we have? |

How effective are bounty campaigns?
Quite effective I'd say. Many people are taking advantage of the opportunity to earn tokens for free and its a win-win for both users and developers because there's demand for the product's success and the rewarded users act out as a user-base from day one. |

That'd depend on what algos you're capable of mining and what equipment you have. CPUs aren't profitable, whereas GPUs are profitable with some currencies still. In the long run ETH has been one of the most profitable for GPUs especially with dual mining but that could change with their POS update. You should clarify what you're mining with first either way.

How many bought ETH just to join an ICO ?
Depends on how each ICO campaign is handled but usually the lower limit isn't that big. It could be 0.01 ETH or even lower. You should ask yourself how many tokens you're looking to receive and how you'd value them or use them. No real minimum in most cases. |

OFC it is legal but pay extra attention to how much you're spending. If your declared income is too far from what you're spending through cryptocurrency then don't be surprised if you get a question by your bank, tax authorities etc. Alternatively you could be more carefull with how you spend, by taking advantage of the anonymity cryptocurrencies offer and not associating your real name with your transactions.

I got an account from OP, I'm still in communication with him over it and will come back with a full vouch review later.

Not really a first but bringing cryptocurrency into this industry always sounded interesting. I'm hoping that the best ICOs involved with this will survive.

That's an interesting concept but I think that the idea behind this needs a bit of work. If stakeholders are going to have the ability to vote, then I think that locals should have a majority of voting shares due to local interests that could possibly conflict with those of outsiders.

Three more services, but can't be used with exchanges: https://moneypolo.com have a shared (Czech) IBAN. https://www.paymix.eu/ have a shared (Slovak) IBAN. http://papaya.eu/ have a shared (Maltese) IBAN, the card is only available to customers living in Malta, Italy, Spain and Greece, and there is no other way to withdraw the funds other than the card. Those seem interesting. I had never heard of those before. Just out of curiosity, how did you find em? |
