You know a good trading volume can be build up by hyping the coin and that was the case for so many project in the past. the token may be just another shit token or even just a clone of some already existing token with basically the same functionality but if there's some kind factor that could make people hyped about the project for example using popular people's name to their advisor and team of developers then it could gather the attention of the crowd. But then afterward people realize that the coin is basically a shit coin in disguise and it will lost the volume and popularity afterwards.

You know people will get tired if they are getting shoved with all these IEO down their throat every week. All these platform taking a break is the best decision as of now anyway and considering that the current market is bearish if you start an IEO right now the answer will be always obvious that the project will always fail in the listing on exchange and take massive dump at the first round. It's just they are waiting for the right time in my opinion to avoid any losses because if there's a project that become a big failure they will take the blame.

Bruh, even in 3rd world country the law enforcement to the people who avoid to pay taxes could be even worse. I've heard that lives are valueless in a 3rd world country and what the government care is just gathering the tax as much as they can and then just misuses all the tax income for stupid things. The percentage that goes for the taxes also usually just as high as 1st world country but have no infrastructure or even free healthcare whatsoever. It's literally a hellpit where you will be enslaved by the government to work and give them percentage of your earning and literally gets nothing in return while 1st world countries usually have nice infrastructure and many more.

It's always the efficiency that matters most when it comes to business and there is also the transparency to help review the overall transaction because of the fact that blockchain always write down all the transaction since it was created until the latest block. I could definitely understand that for Bank instead of waging a war against it they adopt it. Although all these thing are still experimental in my eyes and doesn't guarantee that it will bring that real value to the Bank but we will definitely see in the future.

maybe you accidentally press send button when there's a request demanding for BTC maybe in the past you want to buy something with BTC? It makes zero sense to think that you just conscious of a transaction that you haven't done sending money to someone else after 22 days. Or if possible maybe there's someone close to you that knows or have access to your wallet?


Not true. You can get a malware that replace the address everytime you copied everything and then you can accidentally losing your cryptos or even keylog that record all your seeds.

The funding clearly moved to IEO it's a clear pattern people are getting tired of dealing with someone they dont even know and letting their money in the hand of someone who might turns out as such irresponsible developer anymore. Every IEO will absolutely getting listed and that make people rest easy not worrying about if the project listed to an unknown exchanges instead. the ICO that could still hold up until now is probably the best out there because getting funding from ICO is becoming a lot harder and harder because people are more cautious.

I mean if government forcing people to sell their bitcoin to the government isn't that adding the demands and could start the rumour that bitcoin and cryptos is starting to be accepted just because the government wanted to buy it? doesn't make sense at all. You need to remember that governments aren't officialy accepting bitcoin they always observing and didnt intervene until now but I know if they want to accept crypto they will create their own just like what china proposed because government is all about taking control over everything.

Well lets be real here, if there comes the financial crisis it will make all the financials sector suffer and that includes cryptocurrencies. People at that time will need money or basic needs to survive and selling crypto if they have is one of the option because many people actually consider cryptocurrencies as digital property and not currency. People at financial crisis always consider to sell things that they consider not much of a help because that's all what they can do.

I believe it can be decentralized but the real answer is, is it effective? there are so many projects out there trying to decentralize literally everything and ended up failing because no one uses thier product. Youtube can be decentralized, but then there'll be some technical problem occur if it's p2p and a decentralized social media is already existed I believe but not that popular.
Decentralized is good indeed but not that needed in some aspect of our life, it's just like how if things become too centralized it will be bad. Youtube and facebook are alrady having a good time with their centralized nature so I guess there's no point of switching over to decentralization, they will also have a hard time to manage everything including ads if that to happen.

Well there's the news of halving that'll surely change people's view on the year and having a little hope in their mind that next year will be a good year. You must know that when the market is bullish, IEO and ICO project that will become a success is increasing aswell but when it;s bearish most of the project tend to fail. But I do agree, we are always waiting for the bullrun like there is nothing else we can do. Maybe the crypto market could atleast develop something that is really practical making the value goes higher instead becoming someone that just waiting for the right moment. Just as you said, there will always a way if we want to put some effort.

Well in asia cashless society is already a thing using digital payment that's centralized and not blockchain based but instead some financial technology company are competing to gain the biggest market share. These cryptos that are backed up government currency may become something in the future and there's no doubt that the blockchain system could be the advantage compared to any other digital payment out there although it may be centralized and as usual, the government will hold a huge portion of the total supply I guess. But who knows right?

What I predicted in the future is each country will issue their own digital currency with different technologies and blockchain could be one of them. I can't see the government legalize decentralized currency to be honest. Government is created with the nature of centralization and it's opposing the cryptos nature. it's just like how china created their own crypto which ofcourse will be modified and become centralized currency controlled by china aswell. It's always like that.

that's my concern aswell, retirement saving is not something that we can use to play but instead it's an absolute need to be able to survive in the old days and investing into volatile currency could potentially goes against ourselves. Even if the retirement savings still being used to invest into cryptos I'd suggest only small portion of it. This idea is honestly crazy, you only have 1 chance to have retirement savings and you are risking it for something frivolous like this. If it were me I don't do that.

Japan says only taxing the use of cryptocurreny as well as the trading profit from people although that may not be true but imagining a foreign person setting up a business and earning huge chunk of money from cryptocurrency could potentially raise suspicion considering the negative perspective people usually have although in japan they seem to be more open minded in this case. Also it wont be that easy to setup a company there considering there are really expensive.

I mean never ever buy a bitcoin using a credit card because you will be charged fees from both side and that's ridiculously expensive just banking is preferable I guess and most of exchanges will require you to verify your account first before you can buy anything though credit card or banking because they are afraid of that people might use another person's bank or creditcard to buy bitcoin and the fact that we need to upload or scans of driver licenses even a photo of ourselves holding it is ridiculous but there's not another way and always use the most reliable exchange among top #3 never ever use anything else.

I could note aswell that more exchanges is indeed better for competition to avoid monopoly but most of exchanges that emerges nowaday are money grabber that target the newbie so doesn't really add up to the competition.

Well, money laundering is definitely out of question because even if they do they have too much risk of losing the value due to the volatility. I think it's just a usual price manipulation maybe the devs are trying to keep their coin alive by pumping their own coin because most of the coin in dex have low volume anyway so you dont need so much money to pump and they are trying this hoping that people will start to buy and they can then dump their coin afterward. I also couldnt see how whales profitting from pumping this coin anyway.

That shortcut will surely ruin their reputation if that allegation turns out be true but we don't have any proof yet though. Such a thing is why I always avoid ICO directories website because they are just rigged website and made for sole purpose to generate money and nothing more than that. they even dont have the initiative to atleast interview some of the ICO listed in their website.
Those website are literally made effortless and just copying each other even there are so many similar website that shove list of ICO into our vision with literally the same database.

They are literally selling their reputation for a measly amount of money and in this case they are planning to have profit for short time if that's really the case.
The reason of such ico directories website existence is to provide reliable information that didnt mislead people so that people could analyze it by themselves.
If such practice is allowed and no one bats an eye it's as good as having nothing because with nothing atleast you wont be misled.

Well if that's true then that's really shady of them. what they care is about the money going into their pocket not their visitors's money to be safe. such website should be taken down because their listing could simply mislead people and such website have literally no use anyway since it's manipiulated basically a rigged website. Maybe if there's a proof to this you can make a topic just to expose their shitty website so that people could know that this website is just a measly money grabber.

Kinda tough decision considering that people want decentralization but cant take care of their own problem of not being scammed either. Even if we dont want to sacrifice anonymity we’ve lost it anyway due to the KYC implementation in every exchange so if the government make a regulation what will be the differences regarding our privacy anyway? Its the same.
