As of now there are 11 countries that banned bitcoin. But this is only a small number of countries since many countries have started to appear and is studying on how to accept bitcoin. Though there are regulations that are already being set by the government such as the KYC, AML and the taxation but this actions will not stop bitcoin but will restore the trust of the public to bitcoin. Soon a huge number of masses will be marching and join bitcoin.

This is what I have been telling in my posts as good news that is coming to bitcoin aside from the big merchants and business that are coming in. This are the factors that will pull up the price of bitcoin. We can already see the price of bitcoin going up this days and it already reached 8800$ and by tomorrow it will be above 9k$. The bearish group are now silent as the bullish group started to appear again.

The United Kingdom does not want to be left behind with this kind of innovation. They also seen the beauty of bitcoin and thus they also launched bitcoin futures. This is a good move and could help bitcoin to prosper and eventually it could help bitcoins value to increase more further. Hope with this activities the world will accept bitcoin and the masses will also come in.

The bitcoin community is angered by the moves of Roger Ver but we cannot stop him from promoting his bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash could also  go up since its features is much better than bitcoin and in the long run it could gain more users. But even though this kind of fact is existing it still cannot overcome bitcoin and bitcoin will still be there and will be much stronger than ever.

The reason why this problem arises is because of the program or code that is being used by bitcoin. To solve this kind of problem we have to modify or to make changes on the code on which is very troublesome since we need to have a consensus and we will be calling all bitcoin miners and holders including exchanges and others to approve such proposal. But during the consensus conflicting  ideas occurred and cause a split among the community.

Hello guys I know you have heard about the recent banning of cryptocurrency by facebook and twitter. And is somewhile I am thinking if we could just have a social media of our own which is dedicated to the growth and development of cryptocurrency. With this I am asking the creator of this forum if they will accept this idea that they will create an extension of this forum that looks like facebook and twitter so that we no longer need to use facebook and twitter anymore. This is a call for revolution against those social media sites who are abusing their power and authority.

So what do you think guys is my opinion good or just a plain nonsense.

If twitter does not allow us to do some cryptocurrency business then let us leave Twitter. We will not lose something if we left twitter there are still some social media sites out there that will not ban cryptocurrency related post. There are thousands of people who just joined twitter because of cryptocurrency and if they ban all of them then it is twitter biggest loss.

That idea is very complex. Even IT does not have and idea on how they will do it. Fake news that are spreading is outside of the blockchain sphere since article and news networks including social media is not covered by such technology. Possibly they are going to create a blockchain based news website about cryptocurrency and all news that will be published will be monitored and could be verified before it could be published.

They may be banning bitcoin today but if they will realize that the economy of those country who used cryptocurrency and bitcoin improves then they will shift on the last hour. And we are so lucky that we have bitcoins in our wallet since if they will start to adopt bitcoin then we could be millionaires at that time.

This is very normal. When government consider bitcoin as a stock or commodity it will require everyone who invested on a KYC and AML requirements. This is not a bad news since it was even required to the stock exchange and on banking institutions. This action of requiring bitcoin such requirements is a sign that bitcoin is already recognized by the state as legal and can be used within its territory.

Actually  your interpretation of the impact of airdrops to bitcoin seemed out of line. The reason I am saying this is because of the statistics. Due to the rise of those airdrops many people are coming into cryptocurrencies with the hope of earning from free coins they gain from airdrops. Those who have joined the airdrops will also have a knowledge on bitcoin since when they sold their tokens to Ethereum they will sell it in exchange to bitcoin. Thus, airdrops is one of the agent to increase the number of bitcoin users and make the bitcoin community more lively.

If we are going to see the price of bitcoin reaching all time high and is breaking its previous recorded value which is 20k$ then the community will rejoice. After holding for a long period of time, those time of waiting will not go to waste and has bear fruit. If bitcoin will really hit another all time high, more people will again come back to bitcoin with a smile on their faces and profits on their pocket.

As long as they are not against bitcoin then it is a good move to be accepted by the masses. Barclay is one of the leading investment bank which headquarters is located in London, and if they will join on the bitcoin and cryptocurrency race by putting up a cryptocurrency trading desk then it can help boost the bitcoin market. If this happens more people will also be convinced that bitcoin and cryptocurrency has a real value and is deemed to have good future.

That is really a striking comment and I totally agree with it. The bitcoin cash loyalist are having ironical statements which is against bitcoin in order to push their popularity and value. But the problem is that bitcoin cash is still dependent on bitcoin and the moment bitcoin crashed bitcoin cash will also crash. Thus if they really wanted bitcoin cash to grow they have to promote it while also promoting bitcoin.

My strategy is simple and my method is the common method in trading and that is the long term trading. I will hold my bitcoins until it become triple or quadruple in value. When I bought bitcoin and earned bitcoin I usually dividing those bitcoins before doing anything. Some I will be placing on savings and others for trading and others for withdrawal. As time goes by  and as bitcoins value goes up and goes up my profit is increasing and increasing. I do just hope that I can construct a new house using those saved bitcoins.

You have listed several problems that you think bitcoin has. I will focus on answering the second from the top problem as it has a big impact to me. The problem on bitcoins that it could be possibly be used in financing terrorism and money laundering has already been solved by the governments. The countries who accepted cryptocurrency have placed a strict regulation on bitcoin to track down money launderers and financing to terrorism. Using bitcoin in money laundering and on terrorism is no longer a good choice since using the blockchain technology combined with the KYC and AML regulations the sender can easily be tracked and identified even after long years.

What those bitcoin mining chip makers are true and we cannot deny it. Bitcoin mining has become less profitable not because of the crash in bitcoins value but because of the tremendous increase on the difficulty on mining bitcoin. This means that the competition in bitcoin has greatly increased and this endangers solo miners and small miner. Soon only huge mining farms will continue to exist and will have the monopoly on mining bitcoin.

Even though I would like to support Satoshi but we cannot go against the government. I am working in the government and I dont want to risk my job and sacrifice the future of my family. I am thankful for Satoshi so instead of going against the government I will just spread awareness in the social media and my circle of friends. That way I can help Satoshi without putting my job in jeopardy.

Cambridge Analytica is not a simple company, it has a solid background some of it are excellent. Its CEO Alexander Nix was involved in 44 US political races including Trumps political campaign. But the only problem is the famous Cambridge scandal, since they are accused of targeting voters by publishing dirty publications against the enemy party candidate. That is why they are banned from facebook and the Information Commissioner of UK have issued a warrant against them.

This history of the company has caused people to have two different views about investing on their ICO. Some thought that since huge political parties are behind it the price must have a future and they will eventually gain huge profit. While others doesnt want to invest due to the scandal.

The issuance is made to warn and disallow all business establishments not to use and accept bitcoin since according to them it is not a certified legal tender. But this news is not so striking, even though bitcoin exchanges will not be allowed in Pakistan but it will not be a hindrance for the people of Pakistan to use bitcoin since they can just sell their bitcoins to dollars and convert the dollars to their fiat currency.
