They don't need any excuse, they are not forced to approve it. Actually, the fact that they have delayed their decision means that there is a possibility that they will finally approve it, otherwise they would deny it now.

It's possible that being in a bear market has made some ICO teams decide to wait for the market to improve before listing their tokens in exchanges, however, in the case of Savedroid I think the reason is that kind of publicity stunt that went wrong and gave bad publicity to their project. It seems to me that they have waited a few months for people to forget about that issue before listing their token to avoid a massive dump.

I think in Starbucks the process will be different. In a store that accepts Bitpay, you can pay with bitcoin by sending it directly from your wallet, instead, in Starbucks I think this will not be possible. If I'm not wrong, in the case of Starbucks you will have to register in Bakkt, exchange bitcoin for fiat and then download an application, that I guess will be connected to your account, through which you will be able to pay with dollars at Starbucks. So, while it's true that anyone could, through this process, spend their bitcoins in Starbucks, technically they would not be accepting bitcoin as a means of payment. For me, if this is confirmed, it would be a more annoying and uncomfortable system.

The question is a bit ambiguous and I don't think there is a clear answer. It's as if someone had wondered years ago if the world was ready for smartphones, electronic money, go shopping and pay with the mobile phone, etc. These tools simply appeared and people started using them. With cryptocurrencies something similar will happen, in fact, it could be said that this process has already begun although it's true that it's being slower than we would like.

I agree that the market trend will change, after all the market moves by cycles. However, I would not establish a specific period of time, nobody knows if the market will rise again in two weeks, in two months or in a year. Setting a specific deadline may increase the concern if that deadline is not met.

Not only that, the higher the volume, the higher the listing fee they will charge for listing any new token or coin in the exchange.

The best way to know, or at least get an idea, is to take a look at all the coins that have been added in the last month and check how the price has behaved since the moment of its listing in CMC. To do this you just have to click at the “recently added” tab and look at the chart of the coins added in the last month.

Bitcoin is not only the first cryptocurrency, it's much more than that. Bitcoin represents cryptocurrencies as a concept. If Bitcoin, for whatever reason, disappeared, the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem would disappear as well, for the simple reason that cryptos would no longer be reliable. It would not be the failure of a coin, it would be the failure of an idea.

Ethereum was already quite popular among the crypto community before ICOs. In fact, this is one of the reasons why most startups chose Ethereum over other options such as waves. What has driven Ethereum is its technology, the smart contracts, and the interest of banks and big companies that led to the creation of the EEA.

If you still believe in the potential of the coins you have, stop checking prices every single day, take a crypto holidays and come back in one month. If things have not got better, repeat the same operation for another month and so on, until the market trend changes.

In terms of adoption, I suppose that this coin can increase the number of cryptocurrency users in the country, so it can have a positive impact, although quite limited. However, leaving aside that I am quite skeptical with these state cryptocurrencies, the reason why these coins are being launched is a bit worrisome because in the event that these countries were successful and effectively managed to avoid international sanctions, the governments that have imposed these sanctions could take quite tough measures against cryptocurrencies in general. So far they have only forbidden their citizens to buy these coins, as the United States has done with respect to Petro, but you never know what can happen if they decide to take more severe measures.

This happens because many of the people involved in cryptocurrencies, possibly the majority, are traders looking for a short-term profit. The benefits that mass adoption can bring are long-term and those who will benefit from them are the hodlers.

Not necessarily, if at the time of creating the wallet on your smartphone you copied the seed on a sheet of paper, you can restore it on a new device. The only problem you can have is that someone steals your mobile and manage to guess the wallet password, but if you react quickly, restore the wallet and send the funds to another different wallet of yours, you will not lose your coins.

When Facebook, Twitter and Google decided to ban cryptocurrency ads, we all knew it was a temporary decision. Now they will begin to allow those ads again, first those of cryptocoins, later those of ICOs. That said, they will establish new and strict rules and requirements for these ads to be published.

Why not? You never know. After all, we are seeing things that seemed impossible a couple of years ago. If this industry continues to grow, it cannot be ruled out that some companies, especially some exchanges, become as big as some of the companies you name.

One can understand that an ICO team that raises millions of dollars in ETH and exchange those ETH for fiat money to send it to a bank account will need to explain where that money come from and that for that reason they ask big contributors for their KYC documents. However, many times the collection and storage process of that data is not clear enough, especially in cases in which the ICO team delegates this process in a third party, which is not necessarily a well-known and reputable actor.

It's interesting to see how the headline reads “Bitcoin addicts” when the news is related to trading addicts, it's not the same. On the other hand, why they focus only on cryptocurrencies?, what about Forex traders?

I am afraid that this type of assaults will be increasingly common in the coming years. It's quite clear that giving your personal data on the internet is very risky but I think the biggest risk is outside the internet, in the real world, on the street. That's why I think it's not advisable to let anyone know that you have cryptos, even if the amount you have is ridiculous, because you never know who that information can reach to.

I guess you have your private keys stored somewhere, for example in some paper or in some text file inside a pen drive. If you have that paper or that pen drive stored in a place that your relatives can easily access, you can simply specify in your will its location and the contents of the wallet.

Steemit has nothing to do with Facebook. Steemit is a blogging platform and Facebook is a website where people upload photos to share with their friends and family. In any case, the question to ask would be if Steemit can become as popular as, for example, Wordpress. In any case, the answer would be no.
