Without doubt yes the banks will offer bitcoin and other crypto deposits because this is the digital era and cryptos apparently are the drivers of this new virtual economy, We might have read some news in the past of banks closing some crypto bank accounts but this was only because they was no frame work for banks to work with and they were protecting themselves from being punished by their central banks but now that the green light is closer than ever in most countries...cryptos will be used on a daily basis without worrying of bank accounts been closed.

I say it depends, If a project has a product that is likely to attract some powerful players its best to buy from ICO as prices might be the cheapest you will ever get to see and waiting for an exchange would mean buying the coins at an expensive price.

Then for projects that have a half chance of succeeding i would gamble to buy from exchange as there might be dumpers spree which you could get extra cheap coins all for a couple of dollars

Cryptocurrencies are generally suppose to cut through all boarders regardless of a persons origin and not isolating some...and wait a second aren't some of these countries listed here not among the countries that are among the top adopters of the blockchain technology and besides this banning of ips does not deter users from coming back it just creates other problems like whitelisted countries getting the ban hammer too as VPNs could give users access to the forum.

Practice makes perfect and with time the broken English could become above average written English

At the moment I dont see it as the perfect alternative to the likes of VISA that are able to process a thousand transactions in a second

unlike bitcoin that process very few of them in the same time frame, unless the lightning network is integrated with btc..

this could give btc the ability to process more transactions and a chance to be used as a  world currency.

Ethereum and bitcoin might both be cryptocurrencies but they serve different purposes so I do not see any threat here!

If we talk of price its still one eighth- one ninth behind to catch up to the legendary bitcoin and besides eth is not flawless yet to be considered the right heir as the top coin. Regardless of these facts both are still among the most powerful digital currencies in this ecosystem.

thanks TryNinja for that prompt answer

Probably you could visit the github section to clear your names out, hope its not sabotage from competitors or some customers...

All the best PrivCoin!

thought virtual bank or Vault bank would be the abbreviation for the tip.....

HOPe this does not become another puzzle 13

Otherwise i see the best answer already 👆👆

I just wanted to be sure that metamask has not got it all wrong from the warning am getting because I have used https://www.privcoin[dot]IO several times without problems and want to be sure that my devices are clean from any phishing attempts from this site.

Has anybody been comprised by the named site?

Just incase you not familiar with https://www.privcoin[dot]IO they are....or is it were a Multi Coin Mixer platform that were bidding to be the next big mixer after bitmixer.io

any extra clues for puzzle 13, its gone unanswered for a very long time wondering if any of us we decrypt it....

and is the reward for this one the same as others

WEEK 1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3359148.msg36431951#msg36431951

Are you saying we stop investing in cryptos because of the possibility of btc price falling???

tbh bitcoin going below the 9k line isnt the first time we hearing about it and as long as we still waiting for btc to breach $20k it will fall and rise above this price range several times before its in safe distance of not returning to come back here.

Its funny how quick things  can quickly change, a few months ago we were getting news of crypto advertising being banned on these platforms

now today these guys want to step in the deeper waters   Would be surprised if twitter was next....

But should they proceed with launching this crypto, this has the potential to join the top 100 coins because the platform can take advantage of the number of users it has.

Am targeting mostly utility tokens at the moment as these are more likely to grow in value and will not be on the wrong side of the law or sec scrutiny

But for now eth is still a good buy, ncash and pundix having working products they are worth throwing in a few bucks in the projects and hopefully a multi-million dollar company will buy off such startup projects and push coin prices...,

With the increased difficulty I honestly think is profitable if done on a large scale and not solo level but if you feel you can not stay away from crypto mining you can give other coins a shot which have a much smaller mining difficulty than BTC.

I do not think its worth it has this requires too much resources if you want to earn some noticeable profits

Bitcoin mining is better left to large scale miners and to be honest i feel its an obsolete investment, better try the ICO market which pays you with what you see, WYSIWYG

In the world of crypto I think coin and token are usually used interchangeably but I honestly think they are different...

A token is whats offered when a project is holding a token sale as some sort of proof of transaction and when this token sale is over it qualifies to be could a coin as it now has a monetary value

At the rate at which tokens are been claimed from airdrop portal how will you keep a stake for us here because we are not credited tokens on a weekly basis

If we put those 3 coins according to their true purpose only ethereum will turn out to support what btc and ltc can do!

So I think in this case my work is cut out for and I go with eth as the speed of transaction confirming blows the competition away and not forgetting how less volatile it is, which makes it good for long term investing.

I follow bitcoin prices through a telegram bot and impressed with how updates come in...wouldn't  complain about it as it saves me time on checking prices on  preev, bitstamp or other reputable websites.

You could try to look it up on telegram @BitcoinChecker_Bot or better yet you could use news sites like coindesk or cointelegraph which have price updates on the second

So true banks will make themselves rich and not us as they use our money to fund big loans and other projects

and in the process get better interests than the offer individuals. But with the coming of cryptocurrencies you are sure to cash out every cent without having to worry about peanut interests and now is the time we should start to invest in cryptos.

it basically depends with the category of bounty you participating in, if its translation slots are usually fixed and for signatures the long you remain in a sig campaign the higher your stakes but for bloogs, facebook and twiter your friend might be right as stakes are diluted while more participants join to support this project .
