What do you mean by 'locked'? I don't quite understand what you're trying to say with that?
Yeah, the different applications built on Steem are definitely an asset to the platform.
typo, I meant to say "unlocked" . I personally feel that free transaction that confirm instantly make it good payment platform and good dapp building platform. Ah yeah that makes more sense indeed  Yeah they haven't done too good in the marketing department. They should really start thinking about telling the world about Steem, I mean they can have the most amazing features all they want, but if no-one knows about it, it's going to waste. |

I think it is true that steem is one of the most used blockchains out there but it is literally non existent in the minds of crypto enthusiast post 2017, would you agree with with and if so why do you think this is?
Yeah sure, but hype isn't everything. There is definitely a fundamental form of value present with the Steem blockchain. You'd be surprised at how many projects are being developed on there. Well, I think Steem lacks popularity because it has seemingly gone downhill ever since Dan Larimer left, Dan is generally extremely good at getting people interested in his projects, just look at EOS. Mistakes have been made when he left, there wasn't any significant development for quite some time & there definitely has been some mismanagement of fund (look at the 70% lay-off of staff). Things are getting better though, Steemit Inc. is communicating more, as can be seen here and they've hired some talented people to manage their company. I suspect that Steem will slowly regain popularity in the future, especially when they launch SMTs. I definitely could be wrong, but it's a project that's very interesting from a technical point of view. I agree that steem has lot of potential but unfortunately it is not locked. I am loving the Dapps/games created in steem. What do you mean by 'locked'? I don't quite understand what you're trying to say with that? Yeah, the different applications built on Steem are definitely an asset to the platform. |

This is actually a pretty fun thread, I'll share my experiences as well, being a fairly old member. Date Registered: November 19, 2013, 02:47:08 AMI had heard about this new cryptographic currency called Bitcoin from a friend of mine back in 2010 (that friend was Len Sassaman btw). I completely dismissed it and told myself I would look at it later. More than 3 years passed before I made my first Bitcoin wallet & afterwards I also joined Bitcointalk. Looking back at my first posts, they sure looked quite spammy, to say the least. Yes, this gem was my first post:  Second one was slightly better, though I kinda cringe at my English skills:  Completely forgot about this, but I immediately did a giveaway on Bitcointalk for a game I'd mistakenly bought for a friend (Postal 2): 
2014Anyone remember the whole Dank saga on the lending Boards? Guy tries to create his own bank, called Dank Bank and receives loans from some Bitcointalk members. He essentially spent all the money on drugs and defaulted on his loans. Afterwards he tries to raise funds to start a music festival, fails of course. He owed another Bitcointalk member (Squall) a huge amount of BTC. Here's one of my replies on another one of his loan threads for 0.65 BTC:  Vod definitely remembers this one  Also bought some honey and beef jerky via websites I'd found on this forum, both products were great!  Sent someone a loan of 0.5 BTC because their website was hacked and they lost all their BTC. Wouldn't do that again, but this guy was very honest and paid everyone back in time. 
2015Joined the Crypto-Games signature campaign. Like it or not, that was a pretty significant moment for me. 
I could go on, but this post is already getting pretty long & the later years were definitely far less interesting. |

A couple of months ago, I was really into Steem Monsters, but I have to admit that it became less fun to play over time.
Don't get me wrong, I actually had a lot of fun for the first couple of months, but afterwards I just got too sick of playing.
I recently sold all my cards and made a nice profit (around $700 worth of Steem).

I think the Trading Boards are still quite useful, but the Speculation boards on the other hand are a real cesspool.
Though I still think they shouldn't be removed either. I've made countless reports in Bitcoin Discussion to send threads to the Speculation boards, if they weren't there anymore, those threads would just have to be deleted.
While I personally do not see the merits of price discussion threads, some people apparently do. Who am I to say that they shouldn't be allowed?

Ehh, I'd just call it unethical to just post almost an entire article, even when you do include the source.
Add some original commentary at least, because if you just copy/paste it it's just such a low-effort post.

Do you have actual partnerships with all those brands on your website or are you just using an affiliate network, while giving part of your affiliate earnings back?

Money laundering laws for the crypto might be valid laws, they have the same thing with fiat as well, do you really think a person who would like to launder their money could simply put it on a bank and then sending it to someone else and now they have new money?
People will ask you where you found that much money and that is why they usually do stuff like buying companies and making them look like it earns way more than it actually makes and pay taxes so they could actually show it as a profitable business and use their money. That is why I think crypto should be held at the same standard as well and any amount above certain limit that looks suspicious should be checked out even in crypto form without turning into fiat, like if you have over 100 bitcoins you should be asked for your KYC to check if you are a bad person or not.
I don't think they're as strict for fiat. You can easily create an unverified Paypal or neteller account without having to go through KYC and transact up to a certain amount. You really shouldn't have to do KYC if you're just trading a couple of hundred dollars worth of crypto. |

The EOSlynx wallet isn't free for the first one that you install on Android, right?
I swear that I had to pay around $1 after I had installed it.
It also doesn't mention being free on there website, but I could be mistaken of course.

You got negative trust tho (sure, not a flag, but still negative trust), not sure if any manager would accept you.
Maybe some bounty campaign will, but not sure how much you'll get.
Probably not. @OP I highly suggest looking at the bounties section in the altcoin board, it could be very challenging to find something good that will raise the necessary funds and pay users but... you got more chances there than joining a BTC campaign. Agreed, but one word of caution for OP about that. Make sure you don't get scammed by one of those altcoin campaigns. A lot of them will not pay you in the end or you could be 'working' for tokens that will have no value in the end. |

if libra is just an altcoin with swinging value. then us government cant do much.
but if libra is going to be fixed value / a stable coin of fiat value then the government will treat it as a CVC (convertable virtual currency) much like any other database balance measuring $
which facebook has tried to avoid having all the money service business licences by having its 'facebook credits' purchase be unlinked to fiat value.
facebook could see alot of licence filing state to state country to country if they try the 'fiat stablecoin' approach
Well, they are going for the 'fiat stablecoin' approach, at least that's what I've read in each article about it. Source: https://www.thestreet.com/video/how-facebook-libra-currency-works-14995914So yeah, it's not surprising to see that they're already under scrutiny by the US government. |

I wonder if people who are on the Beta update channel would be affected?
Currently running 68.0b11, I assume the bug is already fixed on that version perhaps.

I always say that centralized cryptocurrency will never last long. That's what ripple's nature is and this is really discouraging investors from investing.
What? There's no reason to think that Ripple will last less long than other cryptocurrencies. At least back up your statement with facts, otherwise it's completely meaningless. Now, I'm personally also not a big fan of Ripple, but they essentially exist to bring cryptocurrency solutions to banks. They have huge amounts of financial backing, so I really doubt that they're suddenly going to disappear one day. |

It will definitely be interesting to see what will happen, don't forget that they're only going to be launching this new coin in 2020.
Now, if you look at EOS, I wouldn't be surprised if Libra becomes immensely popular among institutional investors.
Those types of investors don't seem to care too much about decentralization to begin with.

Any rating that do not recognize bitcoin in number one position is a shill rating. Might a late reaction but i cant resist myself not to make any post regarding these kind of BS rankings. They do place out BTC on the 12th spot and the top 5 EOS, tron, ether, steem & ontology.What a kind of rating on this one. I agree on some projects but not putting btc? Well, it all depends on what methodology they're using to issue those ratings. I mean Bitcoin is far from perfect when it comes to certain aspects. If you purely look at transaction speed for example, then coins like Steem & EOS are clearly outperforming Bitcoin. I'd be highly surprised if China considers decentralization as an important aspect for example. |
