Apparently people can pay their taxes with bitcoin in ohio state now. Don't think that it is a minor thing, if people can start paying their taxes in one state, in only goes faster. Weed has been around for decades and governments have been fighting against it and only recently has started to legalize weed in some states, if ohio started to accept bitcoin as a payment for taxes it means the rest of the country is watching and just like colarado getting a lot of weed money, if ohio gets a lot of taxes from bitcoin it means other states will want to do the same for more money for their pockets. Hence it might look small for now but it means a lot for the future, bitcoin is literally accepted by a government as a payment to them, not only acceptable to use but also supported. This only means amazing things for all of us.

That's called savings account. You go to your bank, give your money to the teller, talk with a representative and say that you want your money to be in a savings account for a set period of time and they will give you some small interest for it. Without having that type of security there is no one else that would give you steady income, certainly not in crypto world.

You are looking to put your money into something and make money constantly, EVERYONE in the world wants that, do you think its easy to achieve? The closest thing you can have is the freebitco.in savings which allows you to put your bitcoins in there and give you 4% yearly interest for it, if the price goes up you have more bitcoins that worths more in the future, if it goes down, that interest worths nothing. For short, there is no short cut to glory in crypto.

One thing I have always learned with this market is to always be patient, and not to ever get emotional over things you cannot change but instead find good ways in which you can be taking advantage of the opportunity every condition brings. The fact that bitcoin cash is in the market now does not really mean much, the fact remains that the crypto market is here to stay, and in the long run, we will sure easily differentiate the real potential coins from the shit ones, when the market gets more matured, based on how they are going to all end in drain, leaving the ones with great product and usability. So for now, relax and buy the dips of those markets you believe in their long term.

Of course! If I may ask, you that you are not even an institution, what do you care about? You think anyone is basically here to lose? Institutions run a business in the financial space, and the sole aim of every business is to make profit, no two ways about that.

However, for the fact that they have upper hand and they know how to always drive the market in their favor, based on this upper hand, they will keep doing that, and driving the weak hands from the market until they all become laggards eventually and only those who will be benefitting from the market would be the real believers, the institutions and those who managed to dodge the bullet of the institutions.

The main function of bitcoin is to serve as a payment means which in this case a P2P payment without a third party and where you can be your own banks. We all know as a respect of that, a lot of people will have the freedom to do things without being hindered and the freedom to spend what they have.

Believe me, when it comes to using the banks, they have practically enslaved us over the years, tell us how much we can spend, change policies however they like, rip from us without any apology, have issues when it comes to making international transfers among many others and all these put together is what the crypto space is going to be solving and that is one great economic importance as far as I am concerned.

Obviously, it is about time they knew they have lost the power and control gradually, and for what it is worth, now that people are beginning to get their eyes opened, I guess they will feel threatened the more with the crypto space in the long run, and this simply shows how confuse they are, coming up with different means of still managing to stay in the spotlight.

Unfortunately, it won't be that simple, as that would take a non-smart company or big institution to want to give banks the benefit of doubt to keep their cryptocurrency.

Why will I ever want to do that even as a person when I can easily be my own bank or when I am actually my own bank ?As confused as the banks are, it seems they just cannot get their priorities right.

Well, if all you are doing is to gamble for fun and you can easily stay away from it, then good for you. At least you were able to find some good ground to stand on before even gambling and you have been able to set your mind into the right reality.

Most times, as long as you know gambling is just basically a game of luck and just a fun thing, the chances of not getting so overwhelmed in looking for profit or something you should not be looking for at least will help you to keep yourself in control, which it is that control that actually matters.

I hope the trading you have decided to switch to is something you are not approaching in the form of gambling, because trust me, if that is the case, the same fate actually awaits you. One mistake a lot of people have made is to think trading and gambling are in par, but sure, they are not wrong.

They are in par when you trade without knowledge and strategy and you approach it just the same way you will approach gambling based on luck. Trading is a lot more than that, but it is a lot profitable and more of interesting thing to do than gambling as long as you know what you are doing.

Japan has always been a kind to crypto in general. Last year before all the hype happened in crypto there was a news about one card company that would accept you to pay them to fill the card with crypto if you want and would be accepted at over 260 thousand places all over japan.

You wouldn't be technically paying them crypto but the card will turn your crypto into fiat and the stores would be taking fiat whereas you would be spending crypto, which is the best way for adoption right now in crypto world.

In a country that accepts crypto at over 260 thousand stores I think it is not a surprise that regulations are much better than most other countries that tries to over regulate or over tax the crypto companies to squeeze as much money as they can from them making them barely survive.

All that is required is even patience, but of course, there is no way anyone can even have patience without realizing what they are investing in, the potentials or why they should be looking at the long term in the first place, and all these things will most definitely affect their judgment as well as the way they basically think.

Obviously, most people who are pained right now are those who joined FOMO and of course, that was because they never understood the market and they never took their time to, but while some have learned from their mistakes and trying to make some adjustments, some will be whining and feeling painful for no reason at all, as if that would help them in anyway.

I have just one aim at masternodes, getting a dash masternode one day. Aside from it being very expensive and me not making nearly enough to get one soon the fact that it would be amazing to give constant passive income at those levels would help me out a lot. I know the price changes are either killing the profits or making them futile compared to which direction they are going but it still gives me a great hope for an amazing passive income which is basically all everyone wants.

I just hope I will have enough money to get one Dash masternode and I would probably not have to worry about small money problems, I wouldn't be set for life of course but anything small can be covered with the money I make from the masternode, like daily grocery needs are small enough to be covered with such amount. One day tho, one day I will have it.

Depending on what you need both have strong suits. I am a person who hates banks and I really try to not have any business with them at all. However, the traditional financial system still has some good deeds in it, for example having a credit card to pay some stuff that you can't afford right now but know you can after a certain time is still a viable option for many people.

Some people use it to pay stuff they can't afford and can't afford later on as well which is the bad side of the traditional system in which cryptocurrencies win because you can only pay with what you have and not what you will have which will be good for second type of people but could be bad for the first type.

I use a credit card even though I hate the banks but I know how much I will be paid and spend it beforehand. Same goes with loans and mortgages which you know you will be capable of paying monthly but can't afford all at once.

"Casino" wise the best one right now is probably stake. Even if they do not provide the amount of games some of the others provide they are the most known and trusted one we know of until they do something else. It is owned by the same company that owns dice site primedice which is one of the oldest dice websites out there and definitely worth the trust we give it. Stake is just another hand for them to provide us with more options than just dice website.

However, if you mean ANY gambling than there is two, one is the aforementioned primedice which is the king of all dice websites in the crypto site and the other for me is onehash, they are not maybe as big as many other sportsbooks but in my book offering the option to decentralized the odds for people depending on how much is wagered on which side is a better option than using the odds companies gives us.

Of course, when it comes to regulation that is actually developed for growth, lenient but straight to the point, then it is going to be a win-win situation for both the government as well as the users of cryptocurrency.

Regulation is a lot better than when we are talking about ban, at least, with regulation, we already know the stance of the government to the idea of the crypto space, and that would basically make more investors to find peace with investing in cryptocurrency without at least, getting the government breathing down their neck, which to me is pretty good for some high level of adoption in the long run.

Well, everyone sure do have their own ways in which they at least are a part of the market, but the fact that the OP said he has not heard them or saying they are not as popular as other altcoins, simply would make me to believe he is either a newcomer in the market and like someone said, he should speak for himself, or is probably someone who has not been observant at all.

Dash, IOTA and TRX are like the altcoins you would not mention when you are talking about altcoins in general, and most especially, anyone who said he has never heard of DASH, still have a lot of things to get their head around in this market, I am so sure of that.

I wonder why bitcoin will be coming 4th on that list anyway, but in a way, everyone will always have their own opinion and how they see things. It is not a bad list at all, considering that most of the coins listed there have great potentials and they are obviously coins with great potentials even though we cannot actually tell what the future holds for anything at all.

However, when it comes to long term investment, I will rather tend more towards bitcoin and maybe some Ethereum and Cardano. Nonetheless, we are all just playing the card, but have no future what the future is going to be dealing us.

That is just the thing, and for most part of it, it is pretty obvious, the OP may not even have an idea how to do some due diligence before even investing in anything and in that kind of case, there is every likelihood that he does not even have a clue what the ICO price would be considering the fact that he said he could not repurchase them.

Well, he understands his own problem and as long as he is not ready to actually make some changes to the way he approaches thing, when it comes to spending, and not having any plans at all, then, which would always be a problem for him. Better still, he should just learn how to find good projects, participate in them, hold them for as long as he can, and then get real jobs to at least keep sustaining him for the time being.

This is not a "pump". Pump is when something goes up and goes down insanely. Bitcoin should go to 15 thousand dollars and drop back to 5 thousand dollars in order to call it a "pump".

What happened here is a speculative movement that was manipulated by the whales but certainly not even remotely enough to be called pump. They are only viable when something goes up or down 20% give or take.

Do not create fear in people by calling bitcoin had a pump, bitcoin is too big to have a pump. Even during the best days of it when it went up from 3 thousand to 20 thousand dollars it took almost a full month to reach there, we didn't had that 20 thousand dollars in a single day. However the sudden quick rises and falls in bitcoin price really does create a untrustworthy look for it from the eyes of a traditional investor, I will give you that.

My strategy is always being inside. The important part in bitcoin world (crypto in general) is to be in all the time, doesn't matter how much bitcoin dropped or looking horrible it is always ready to skyrocket to moon one day.

If you are always in crypto and always hold coins than there is no chance of missing out. There are millions of people around the world who keep saying "I wish I got into bitcoin when it was just couple cents" but they are forgetting that the price is lower than the all time high right now and if they get in today there is a good chance they make double their investment in a year or maybe even sooner.

You may not make hundred times over but you can double your investment, if you look at ethereum and other stuff they are capable of going double even triple their prices and more so it is wiser to be always in than regret not being in.

Just because it has happened once doesn't really mean it will happen again. This "history repeats itself" is not true at all, we had so many things happen in history that is absent in today's world (thankfully) and this is one of them. Yes there is a chance that bitcoin will increase in price however it doesn't have to do it at all.

Bitcoin is improving every single year and just like the post says there is more people in bitcoin now than ever and this could make it a quicker return instead of waiting until November of next year. Also the price can't increase at the same rate again because the marketcap would go above the stock exchanges of the USA which is really unlikely for now to achieve in crypto world.

We are big but nothing close to that big. Stock exchanges have been around for decades and we have been here only for 10 years now.
