Money can be helpful to do a lot of things in life, but it is not above all things. You can have little money but still have a fulfilling life, even making it easier for the next generations of your family. I'm sure there are plenty of rich people who are desperately unhappy, money just makes it easier for them.

Saving is sensible, whatever form of investments you decide to take. You should try to diversify your portfolio as much as possible though, "don't keep all your eggs in one basket" and all that. I like saving too and banks are generally safe, in a doomsday scenario however - a bank could be a bad place to have your investments because the government can take it over to prevent all withdrawals. Also, short term this would help you survive - long term silver might not have any practical value to other people if society has fallen.

It's a nice idea, but all land in the world is already taken. It is almost impossible to start a new country, as you will likely be in the jurisdiction of another country already and their military will simply not allow it. Unless you are pulling coups on African dictatorships, which is equally difficult, then you cannot go that route either. Nice idea, never going to happen. Better off trying to persuade current governments to take up your ideas.

It looks like someone is shilling for dozens of ICO's, I'd like to say it is surprising but this seems like standard behavior for any developers in this field. "ICO" is basically tainted in the same was as "HYIP". Sure, legitimate companies may have run them successfully before, but scammers have since hijacked the term and are using it on an industrial scale.

Hello All,

This will probably be the last coin out of my collection to sell for a while and quite happy to hold on to it. I purchased it around 2 years ago from these forums and switched the coin out of the original case. Offers are welcome, aiming to get 0.15 btc

Tracked & signature shipping is included within the EU, cost price to the rest of the world.

It's very hard to spot fakes (or "replicas") of these small gold bars as well. The packaging from this manufacturer looks very easy to copy, but yes.. this is way overpriced - nobody will buy it.

You should post photos along with a note including your username and the date. This would help people who are interested in buying and get this sold for you.

When bitcoin has dropped over $1,500 in the last few weeks, a small rebound should be welcomed but it has shown an unexpected external threat can wipe out massive amounts of value. If regulations and enforcement got stricter it could subdue the price for a long time.

I'm sorry for your loss, but these scammers prey on peoples greed. Take it as a lesson that "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". Do not assume that because google accepts an advertisement, that the advertiser is legitimate (but it might be worth reporting it if you can find the advert again). If these people were able to double their money every 7 hours, why would they give this service away to random strangers? You are lucky to make 5-10% per year with mainstream investments, stick with that.

If you are overstretching so much that all your reserves are wiped out, you're doing very high risk trading - which doesn't seem very clever. You should diversify your investments, this week has shown that thousand dollar swings can happen in a day or two. There is nothing to say that bitcoin will survive long term - even if it wins medium and short term.

China does not like cryptocurrency, because they cannot control it effectively and it is a way for Chinese people to get money out of the country. It is similar to how they block and filter the internet - they can only view what the elitist politicians want them to see. I think anybody familiar with bitcoin would see that it is very easy to avoid the block but it may still be difficult to cash out.

While tensions do seem to be very high righ now and it is extremely disrespectful to fire missiles over other countries, I don't think it'll really kick off. Kim Jong Un knows he is signing his own death certificate if he actually launches a nuclear missile that lands anywhere near American territory, he is crazy but I don't think he is that stupid. The US will do nothing militarily.

What?

You don't need to create any new crypto-currencies. You can use Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, Dogecoin or the hundreds of other coins that already exist. You are bringing nothing new or innovative to the market. Nothing becomes "truly valuable" just because one greedy developer wants it.

Just because politicians talk about cryptocurrencies, does not make it political. While it might be beauty in code, bitcoin might fall because of mathematical limitations. The more popular it becomes, the more expensive transaction fees - you have to wonder how far it will scale and could it compete with say, VISA?

You should avoid "ICO's" altogether, they have rarely served a purpose to investors and have been hijacked by scammers. It's nice to see people calling out the individuals running them, but it is a never ending battle and it is best to train people not to use them at all.

It looks like every other piece of trash ICO out there and will likely fail in the same way. From what I understand it is trying to offer some sort of reputation system for peer to peer trading? Great, except that is already being done in a thousand places and is not at all original. Either by accident or design, you'll probably lose any money you "invest" with them

Do you have a registered company? I see a lot of potential for mischief by random people who will be receiving parcels. Just trying to understand the legal side, what sort of insurance do you carry for the people who receive the products?

Not sure why you'd want to pay that much for a few sticks of gum, can you not get them in Finland? For anyone that lives in Europe - this should be a good deal with the present price of bitcoin, posting something like that will cost less than 5 euros and the item itself is 1-2.

Nobody in their right mind would sell you a bank account with scans of the owners documentation. So you are effectively asking for stolen and fraudulent access to a bank account. Why can't you set up your own account, legally, in your own country? Probably because you intend to so further illegal things with it

Your whole post screams "I'm late to the party but just want to chip in some trivial input". Microsoul has been around since 2013, these issues have only been realised (in bulk) during 2017. Unless you physically demand to be part of the minting and hologram generation process, good luck with that, you're just working on trust with any coin manufacturer. What other pearls of wisdom can you bestow upon us?
