XLM is a successful crypto money. But it is too early to compare with Ethereum. Ethereum has a much better network and community support.

I think what you expect is very important. Just buy BTC and wait if only Bitcoin's value increase will be enough in the long run. But if your goal is to increase the number of Bitcoins, then you should look at the altcoins. I think LTC is not a good choice.

Due to rampant inflation/corruption in Venezuela, quite a substantial percentage of the population had chucked their investments into btc.
Looks like the political problem might be resolved shortly, if it does btc will fall if currency controls are relaxed and the population feel more comfortable.
Expect a 15/20% fall as a result.
How much of the total amount of BTC in the world can be in Venezuela? We might be scared if there is the same situation in one of the Asian countries, but I think Venezuela's influence is not great.

With all the buzz lately of governments cracking down on cryptocurrencies, there has been fear among people with regards to Bitcoin and altcoins. This is one of the many reasons why 2018 experienced a sharp decline in the value of the whole crypto market, leaving many wonder the outcome of a complete government crackdown towards Bitcoin and other cryptos in the future. As such, what do you think will happen with Bitcoin if all the governments of the world ban it? Will it collapse after the massive crackdown on every single cryptocurrency? Or will it survive? AFAIK, Bitcoin is largely dependent on nodes distributed geographically. The Internet is controlled by ISPs which are subject to government demands. If a global government crackdown happens, then the growth of Bitcoin and other cryptos might stale for sure. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) First of all it is impossible for states to go to such a ban. How far can you prohibit something that is decentralized and done via a computer? I think we should focus on solving the energy problem and scalability instead of thinking about such situations.

https://blokt.com/news/chinas-increasing-stake-in-cryptoJust came across this article about China's increasing stake in crypto. Kinda crazy to hear how even if the government is doing its best maintain control over blockchain, companies are still thriving. It seems like China is much more pro-blockchain and crypto than the rest of the world. Any thoughts? I think it's something that could be good for all of us. But we do not know about the content of the regulation. It is useful if they leave a living space for crypto coins.

At some point in time I guess it will become either one thing or the other. It cannot stay both at the same time. Can it? Is it a healthy usage method to have it as both?
There are many people who already make money using it. Volatility makes someone lose money while others make money. We have to work hard to be on the right side here.

So i have been working with bitcoin since it started, i sold off all my holdings at 6k before the rise to the moon, but recently ive came back to buy some and all of the otc markets are gone, local traders require ID, the big exchanges either dont accept fiat or require your soul and mothers baby pictures.
So can somebody help me understand what happened? did the 2017 bubble kill off the anonymity or am i missing something? I understand the importance of a trust-circle but i am asking solely on the basis of send payment, get bitcoin using WU, cash deposit, Moneypak, etc.. without an in-group. It seems there isnt even a way anymore to find private sellers efficiently, just oceans full of buyers trying to pawn off paypal and itunes giftcards, OTC sellers requiring ID, and corporate exchanges that are even worse than mtgox.
I dont remember it being this "centralized". Shame.
So what actually caused this? Regulations shouldnt have effected the OTC market IMO.
There are too many decentralized exchange which you can use. For example you can use Binance without KYC and limit for withdrawals only 2BTC. You can use a lot of exchanges without KYC also.

I don't think it can. But it will be a good competitor for Visa. Blockchain is too young. It has to spread all corner of the world. Then we may see using every area which we can't even imagine.

There is something strange here. Your ETH moved away but your claim is never share your key! It is quite impossible. There is a wrong somewhere. You have to find it first. Sorry for your lost ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I hope you'll find way to get back.

Thanks for stopping I have a question.
I am wondering if anyone knows of ANY wallet that has what I call a dynamic feature. A dynamic feature to me would be a wallet that is a standard wallet but also has a section on the main wallet that shows something other then say a chart. I know 1337, aka Elite has this, but I'm wondering if there are other examples of coins with features.
Thanks for your time. Please just list the coin in a reply below...
Thanks !!
I guess you mean talk about a wallet like same as exchanges. So you can see charts and your invest at the same time. Actually, I don't use such an wallet. But I saw one. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name.

I believe that cryptocurrencies will one day be used all over the world. Maybe travelers will use similar currencies all over the world. However, when this happens, Switzerland will certainly be one of the first. Switzerland is a country known as the world's coffers. And I think there are people who are very good at financial forward opinion. This person can be one of them.

Well, let's think about it ... if the CIA wants to reach a person's identity information, does it really need to exchange a crypto-money exchange?
This argument is a little pointless. I'm sure if the CIA and / or someone wants to access our credentials, they can do so much easier.

Personally after I gain some profit, I spend on something else ( gold or dollar ) so when I loss on crypto, I'm not loss 100%
Learning capital management is important and I'm usually read the book about it to make me easier to understand how it's work !
I'm practicing this method now. The profit I made with HODL before, then disappeared. But I've been converting some of my profit over the past few months into USD. So I can't get my capital back. Then I plan to expand my investment in the same way.

I don't agree with that. I definitely believe in Bitcoin's future. But it is not certain that Bitcoin never dies. It may! But it won't possibly.
Bitcoin has a many risks. But yes it has a great community support.

I missed the poll but I choose the paper wallet. It suits decentralized structure firstly. And it is also free! And anyone can create as much as wants. No one know who is this wallet owner.
Paper wallet is the best.

Switzerland is a country that is known as the bank of the whole world. Maybe it's one of the best options for your money in this environment.

I guess it is not quite possible. But it has a chance. You may send your BTC with only 1 satoshi. Transaction will be done but it probably take a long time.
But it is really cheapest money transffer. For example you can try send 1 million from your bank to another bank. But there will be a high transaction fee. How much Bitcoin you want to send, fee is always same. Why are you wondering this fee thing?
