I think it's difficult for NRG to break Top50 in coinmarketcap. Now the rank is 73, still need a long time for NRG to go up because the volume is still low only $426,463 per 24h.

Have the same freaking idea once I saw the thread title.
I dont know what is wrong with me but something felt right out of it.

I mean like WOW. Kidnappers using bitcoin? That is some sick idea from sick people who just want the money.
I guess anything goes by now. They are really thinking about it as a currency.

According to a report by the Brookings Institution, data from the World Poverty Clock show that Nigeria now has over 87 million people living in poverty.

You can view this news into two perspectives:

1. Economic Perspective; and
2. General Welfare.

For the first perspective like what you have mentioned, a country that is as poor as Nigeria is utilizing bitcoin in their country. Their economic condition does not hamper their accessibility towards this opportunity of earning cryptocurrencies in their country. At first, I did not think that it may be possible for them to gain access but this gives hope in the future in using cryptocurrencies as the next generation of money.

For the second perspective, we cannot deny the fact that any crime is an unfortunate event. Although kidnapping results to a serious crime which illegally deprives the right of an individual, a life cannot be traded and be regarded as equal to money or property. If people are using bitcoin as their ransom, this may negatively impact the reputation of bitcoin further.

What is wrong with you? How could use of Bitcoin for criminal purposes be a good news? Or just matters to you that Bitcoin is used, no matter for what
Even without such news Bitcoin still struggles with reputation of illegal activities currency that some people are still convinced in.

I don’t know why people are too lazy to use the actual address and are looking for an easier way. I hope this tread helps beginners understand that the QR code is completely unsafe.

I know some females on Telegram, but then, you can never be sure because it is Telegram

The telegram is full of crypto groups that follow new projects and take them apart right up to the cog. Here's a good example: the crooks behind the Crypterium project have now created the GramEx exchange. As for me, in mobile messengers more convenient to follow such news than to go to the forum.

I do not think such an action was needed at all. If they had caught the scammer they should have handed him over to the police and the law would have taken action.

The level of tolerance in our society has been going down gravely. Every day we read and see such inhuman crimes being committed in the name of justice. People tend to forget that they are not animals and as human beings, we have to obey and follow laws that have been created by us.

What did they accomplish? they themselves are now criminals.

The question, where can I buy virgin bitcoin is kinda off? If you bought virgin bitcoin, then it'll be transacted... Then it's not virgin anymore.

Though it's kinda interesting, but it's still bitcoin. Still has value so I don't really mind having a 'virgin bitcoin' or not. But it would be fun to have one.

Ripple Blockchain is providing all the necessary tools for banking industry and  more future we will see more blockchain platforms will ease banking operations to blockchain based applications

1. when bitcoin was pumping: "i missed the boat on bitcoin, better buy something cheaper!"
2. after the market started crashing: "i'll just wait for the price to come back up!"
3. when i didn't use stop losses: "i'll just set a mental stop loss!"

these attitudes led to some pretty tragic losses for me.

Did you mean same job in the same place? Or one from USA and one from India. If they are not in the same place, please do account of average living cost/standard as well. You know both the country has a huge difference in living cost. Therefore, it is basically pulling back to the same.
Macroeconomy is a combination of a lot of factors, you can't conclude anything with one or two single factors.

Actually, both of them are beneficial. Cloud mining is profitable since every mine of bitcoin increasing when it is growing up. If you are a miner, you will just look for rigs and mine till you want. Buying bitcoin is so good also. I guess those who buy it are too lucky when it is low value. As of now, bitcoin is almost 12k dollars.
