The more he submit his KYC verification to all those websites the bigger the chance his data is leaked somewhere else in the internet. Maybe submitting data to an exchange that is already regulation under the government is safe more specifically if the exchange has never done anything wrong with their business but submitting kyc for an airdrop I mean for real? even the developer themselves are looking to make an easy money through airdrop there's a really huge chance that they are doing the aidrop just to gather data as much as they can and sell it off in the darknet. People just really need to be aware, their data is as valuable as gold nowaday.

Well you can't extinguish a fire by adding some more fuel it's as expected if the government is more harsh to the protesters it will definitely grew bigger.
I've heard some of hongkong's rich people also leaving the country to migrate into some of europe country by investing there and get some kind of permanent residence but I guess bitcoin is also one of the option when it comes to saving money. i can personally justify it if the danger of chaotic economy is near.

as I know project trying to gather the funds using ICO is to realize or make an execution to their idea and thus resulting in a working product, maybe some of the projects out there are already having a working product even before the ICO being announced but it's still not right to judge a project as a fraud just because of not having a working product while the sole purpose of creating an ICO is to gather fund.
Maybe it's better to judge them by whether they are following their roadmap or not, although there are some other factors aswell.

even if I don't spend money with bitcoin I could still avoid taxes you know when we are reporting or filing our tax we are just being asked about how much money we get and therefore the obligation to pay certain amount of money for taxes will be given to you but the government doesn't really know how much we get aren't they? it's all the self consciousness of the people again. Even if I could avoid taxes but I never would because I just want to contribute to the country by paying taxes and there's nothing wrong with that. Even many countries right now already trying to implement a new way of taxation for people using crypto while also already concluding bitcoin as one of taxes object.

Also usually third world countries tend to follow the decision of first world countries and that could mean even more problem will be coming to Libra. Even by the withdrawal of all the major investors from Libra could be a huge backlash that could potentially cancel this project.
I'm not expecting anything from this project anyway, it won't even benefit the crypto community even at the slightest but just the hype that could make crypto well known other than that there's literally nothing and also it's centralized.

Maybe making crypto that is adopted by the masses is just simply a wishful thinking considering all these regulation even a big company like facebook could literally do nothing.

Purchasing a hardware wallet is not really a feasible solution if you got a limited money otherwise it's still worth it but it seems that people will never stop putting their money in the exchange for a long time because they think this is the most convenient way to save the money while in reality it's the best way to lose your money when the security breach happens.
All the news about exchange being hacked and can't provide reimbursement seems have gone to nothing because people are just too ignorant and careless to realize that it's their money that is at stake.

Definitely understandable and not refusing to submit your ID is your right aswell. Data is now the new gold and so many people or companies are trying to gather as much data as they can and your govt ID, passports and many more is as equal. However if it's a big exchange like binance i can somehow tolerate. However if it is an unknown company that demands my ID I will definitely not give it out because that's just too dangerous.
as I've seen so many company that are based on technology always got some sort of data leak and that's really a huge loss for the customers even my data was once leaked over darknet. If there's an option not to submit, I will definitely not submit my ID carelessly.

Not exactly banned tho in hongkong they are just making the rules a lot stricter than ever because they have no control over the situation in the crypto market. as I've seen there are plenty of developers residing there therefore it will kinda be hard for the local government to ban some of their source of income I guess which is the funding through some sort of ICO or IEO but in china it seems that bitcoin just have no hope there.
However if bitcoin is being used to launder money of hongkong's citizens that'd be a bad news imagine what will all those government says about bitcoin when the war comes to an end.

Not really, even Libra is cancelled it won't even bother me as it is basically the same as other existing centralized crypto like all those stablecoins alright? the difference is only because Libra issued by massive corporation that has a really huge capitalization and therefore making people feeling excited about it while it's actually just repeating the same cycle that already existed.
It seems that if France and Germany really agree to block libra, visa and mastercards which thinking about reconsidering the decision of investing into Libra might back out.

That's just a wishful thinking, even the government is somehow leading the people to believe that crypto is being used for criminal activities and banks are only using the blockchain technology and not the product of that technology which is cryptocurrency. There's still a chance that crypto could go to zero but it's a slim chance or hardly happen unless the blockchain technology is falling apart or can't operate anymore therefore all transactions stuck and there's nothing people can do because it's basically worthless and I guess that's not going to happen anytime soon.

It's like the saying if you can't beat them join them. In the world of business as of now there's no such thing as direct competitor if you can invest to them and get the profit aswell. The only reason paypal leaving is because the regulation backlash and that is really understandable and I do agree as you said Libra is not decentralized by any means it is obvious that Libra is centralized. The whole thing works just like USDT or TrueUSD it's a crypto with blockchain but owned by a company and the company have the authority to do literally everything to the coin because they are the reason why that coin have a value.

They are fast and all until the mass adoptin hits, the blockchain becoming so crowded and they will face scaling issues. Bitcoin back in the days used to be really fast and have a really cheap fees even so many people saying that bitcoin's fees is a lot cheaper than sending from paypal or bank but now that the blockchain is really crowded everything become slow and the fee sometimes rising up so much. Therefore, I won't say that they are the future until they have gone through the mass adoption and see whether there is a problem or not otherwise their blockchain will be left untested and could potentially have a problem when the mass adoption hits.

The government will never accept something that's out of their reach or that has no control to be a global money, just move on with that dream. These issues about criminality that tied up with cryptos is just an issue after all, onle really few cases found when criminality involves the usage of cryptocurrency.
After all, there's just no chance for crypto to be a global money if that's what you expected, even currently there's no such thing as a global money.
However, I do support the government only if they are really trying to fight against terroism funding and Money laundering properly by having regulation to prevent so other than blindly put the blame on cryptocurrencies which is rarely used for such a thing.

Will definitely bring a major impact the the artist under the SM entertainment and that includes the KPOP fans aswell, but not really for the world wide. Maybe it's just their last effort to save their company from bankruptcy. I haven't followed the news about this company but it seems that they have some kind of urgent circumstances and facing a big problem that forces their investors to withdraw from the company and the company itself the capital to keep on mantaining its operation. If this become a success for the company, I'm pretty sure that the other company that works in the same field will follow the strategy and then basically there'll be a crypto specialized for KPOP I guess.

actually bitcoin have nothing to do with the failing of many project, if these projects are failing just because bitcoin is being dumped that means the project is bad and has no independency towards their own price whatsoever and that's not worth investing, it's basically like a natural selection.
If the project is good it will definitely hold on despite bitcoin being dumped, there are plenty of good project that just do that you can see yourself in CMC and those project aren't failing because their price is not too relying on the market situation.

Now every exchange where people used to trade their privacy coin is starting to delist any privacy coin it seems that they are running out of space to trade.
The concept of privacy coin is good but if it's attract more problem and criminality then I guess it's better to be removed more specifically if used as a way to do things you mentioned above. If it's what it take anonymous coin should be removed, just like in korea they are starting to do so.

It's basically just overhyped stablecoin and definitely not a crypto king. Imagine calling a coin that's established by a big company like facebook which they have full control over it a crypto king that just doesn't suit well. There's no such thing as crypto king other than bitcoin itself and Libra will never be a crypto king because that's just an utterly bullshit and Libra can't even get past the regulation and keeps on being delayed.
Libra is selling like a hot cake only in early stage where it got investors from left and right just because it's a big company and not because the coin's revolutionary idea which I find it none there. just overhyped garbage in short.

Bitcoin price lowering doesn't mean the popularity is decreasing, the current price dumping is I assume a price manipulation from a big player while the bitcoin popularity in HK might or might not increasing. However, I actually don't see the Hongkong and China right now could affect bitcoin at all.
They just don't have correlation and I don't think just because of some riots people would transfer or convert their money into Bitcoin even the foreign investor I assume will just take back their money through conventional way and there's no need to risk their money to bitcoin and got side effect like volatility and complicated thing they need to face if they really want to use bitcoin as a means of transferring huge sum of money. At best, some minor people will try to use Bitcoin I'd guess they won't take it into that far making so much people transferring money using bitcoin.

It's just can't happen to imagine digital currency to replace national currency considering it's in africa where it's always difficut to implement something about technology more specifically is a digital currency. Digital currency only suitable for country with no problem when it comes to digital world and no offense but I don't think africa has reached that point yet, it's still need to fix or distribute their internet connection evenly.
It's not that the digitaztion of national currency will bring value to african currencies it's just not the right time for african country to switch into a more digitized form of currency which is digital currency. It's better to fix the foundation first before building even further.

The anonimity has long died, everywhere you want to use your BTC they usually tend to requires you to verify your identity first by doing the KYC procedures and that will goes on accompanying the government's effort of Anti Money Laundering.  However, KYC in my opinion is not that bad only if the government officials provide their service to every company that requires their user to do the KYC verification rather than letting all those third parties did it or even worse the company that you don't even know who is the owner doing it independently.
It's not like that the government is trying to make everything complicated but they have no other choice to prevent money laundering since all the bad rumours about bitcoin being used for evil things which infact is pretty rare is already on the mind of the people inside government.
