Bitcoin is a global craze. Even farmers, students, the older, housewives ... who are don’t know what is blockchain also buy bitcoin. Because there are so many new investors investing in it in the hope of making a big profit. But actually that is not investing that is gambling.  I do not prevent you investing to make money but invest wisely. Especially do not put all the property into bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Hope people do not blindly participate in this gamble.  I agree to this. If you put in money at least read and learn what you are investing in. Just the basics is enough. Don't just listen to any news and do some research to know if it is true or not. Know what kind of investment you are into so you won't panick at the slightest jump in price |

I remembered watching a video about bitcoins and the simple information that a beginner can understand. It says that bitcoin only has the maximum of 21 million bitcoins and 17 or 18 million has been mined.
What would happen if the very last block were mined? Will the value of bitcoin finally be stabilized?
Bitcoin stability is very hard to achieve as it is very easy to manipulate but needs the big whales to do this. But it is very easy for them to manipulate the price. The price of bitcoin will rise but to make it stable is very hard. Even if the last block is mined |

i have been thinking bitcoin cannot last forever..............i need you guys opinion if what im thinking is right.
I think bitcoin is here to stay. So many people wants bitcoin to fail but it still is steadily rising. Fud always put bitcoin price down but still it slowly rises. Bitcoin popularity is also growing steadily. And in years to come bitcoin will break barriers just like the internet. |

BTC has no role to play in the real world affairs. People who try to create such a role are confused between asset and currency. The design itself only considers pure virtual activity with no touch with real world. People also mistake the buzz words such as "peer-to-peer", "border-less", "decentralised" etc as the problems to be solved. But sadly these are not real problems. The insignificant problems (speed and fees) are hardly enough to sell and these problems are going away anyway. I have no respect to Nakamoto because he ignored the most important element (govt and authorities) in social situation and still want to sell it as some solution to social situations. Hardly any country has regulatory framework that deals with btc.
The problems are rooted in the philosophy of crypto, not in the code. So, the beauty of blockchain tech is irrelevant for btc. It is like selling a bad app by showing how great Android is.
1) Bitcoin does not provide controlled visibility, because it doesn't recognise the existence of governments. Now if you make changes to provide visibility to authorities, ALL privacy is gone. If you don't, then ALL visibility is gone.
2) Fees are rooted in the design. Whatever consensus you invent for a public blockchain, you can't escape rewarding the work of validating transactions. So zero fees are not possible.
Public blockchains sacrifice all good qualities of a business application for the sake of trust-less environment which is not even actually a problem to solve in many contexts. Also they make it extremely costly to run small amount of code or small storage. Who wants their business code to be validated by all arbitrary people in the world?
Most ICOs are sharing economy concepts similar to uber model. Lack of a responsible intermediary and costs will make these "innovations" to fail, if they ever have to touch real-world activities.
Bulk of the blockchain activity will move to business collaborations which might not even look like a blockchain. Crypto coins will be used in most business blockchains, but these coins will be value-less tokens and very specific to the business or institutional activity.
It has a very big role for us. This is our main source of income so that is a role for real world. Sending money for payments. Not everybody wants to benifit from crypto currencies but for us it our way of life. Maybe it has no role for you but for many of us it has helped a lot for our daily living |

I mostly mine and hodl, but my friend day trades and says I should start getting into it. What do you prefer to do and do you think there is a better route to take? I personally think it's all up to personal preference, I'm new though.
I suggest you read learn and try out trading. Start small and don't think about profits first. Learn and listen to people who do trades. In a few weeks when you learn the market and start to enjoy then maybe trading is for you. |

Is it better to get BTC via mining or buying now?
It was no longer profitable early this year for mining. However, with the recent price surge, does mining becomes profitable now?
If yes, any suggestion? There are quite many cloud miner in the market.
Thanks.
If you have the money to do both then i Suggest you do both. Setup a mining rig and buy some bitcoins. You still need to read and do research though about bitcoin and mining. And if bitcoin mining is not profitable you can mine other coins. |

I have 3 ETH and i want to buy some Waves and hold it for long time. Which will be the best option? Buying Waves or Hold ETH!
Both good coins to hold. But Eth's marketcap is huge, means if it runs, it wont make your investment double in a short period of time. Whereas Waves still has big room for growth and could give you better profits than Etherium. |

DRiVR NETWORK is indeed a solution, hassle free in payment transaction especially when your in a hurry and busy life, hi tech security for passengers and drivers, even the police for tracking the criminal in case the passengers were in danger.. These makes peoples everyday living convenient and secured..
Yes your absolutely right, This project can also detect if there's a possible accident, Hope this type of technology will work 100% so their client will 100% convenient of this project. This one is life changer so i full support on this Advanced AI ride share. I hope this will be available to less developed countries also and not only on big major cities. This can make a big difference to commuters and government alike. Also this type of projects should be backed by government as this one has a real use case and can be used by a lot of people. |

Do any of you participate in ICOs that requires KYC (Know your Customer). We actually experienced this one on exchanges but how about in partipating in ICOs or just even in airdrop that requires KYC.
I think it depends as for me as they are many scams as well just getting your information. In some instances, we can be blind sometimes, mkay? I really do not join airdrops if it requires too needy to get your personal information.
I believe some people are not cautious as long as they can join airdrops. How about you? What are your thoughts about KYC in ICOS?
One thing i started with crypto is because of it's anonymity. I have trust issues with the kyc process in ICO's. I don't mind doing it on exchanges, I will maybe consider if the ICO has already a strong background or has started a business before doing the ICO or if the team has made a good name already. For airdrop though, never send your personal info to bunch of random airdrops, it just doesn't make sense. |

Another car service ICO as it is. I want to know what will be the main function of AI in your project as if it is the same as UBER and GRAB? And when it will be available because there are alot of rivals with the same concept.
It is better to have rivals so that all of them will try to give a good services and improve their ways in handling their passengers. It is also better to improve services in order to give satisfaction to anyone. Rivals exist in every businesses either its traditional business, online business, or cryptocurrency business. The question is what is the most offer your business can give that the rival businesses dont have? I must say that DRIVR can offer to accept crypto payments that UBER and GRAB dont have for now and this what makes DRIVR on the right spot of business and has a potential to have its success. But all in all the success will depend on the TEAM and COMMUNITY. Cheers  I agree with all of you! Competition is good because it encourages better quality of the services and helps reduce the price. The challenge now for the DRVR network is how are they going to position themselves before those giant rivals, how are they going to continually improve their services, and what are their edge over the others. Please read their whitepaper for you to find out especially the integration of AI in their project. I believe that the arrival of the DRVR Network will revolutionize the way we pay for our daily transport and at the same time how we are going to gain profit when we do feel like becoming a part time driver on our commute to and from work. Spot on. True enough, how we pay using DRVR will definitely change how the masses will also see blockchain, cryptocurrency. They will witness and experience first hand how it is using and paying through crypto coins and hopefully many will adopt to this revolution. DRVR will be the first one to introduce it to more people. |

I just noticed, the cars will be driven by AI?! Wow! Just wow! This is incredible! It will be deiven by AI and not humans? If that's the case, I am really interested with your technology. But isn't it a bit scary that an AI will be responsible to your life? What if something happened to the passenger? It will take time to the people to adjust to that machines especially the old ones, but I think mAny people like me would love to try thid new technology and see how it works. Goodluck for this project!
Good question, the cars will still have human control. We have a few stages of implementing A.I. Firstly safety is our main priority and this is done via machine learning / deep learning where the A.I will predict when there will be a possible accident. As technology advances and the use of A.I is more widely used then we move to further stages. Currently we are focusing on deep learning / voice recognition / safety & prediction learning. A good example would be your favourite restaurants or places to go is saved in our app which is connected to the A.I it will know where you want to go. I have question too. If i want to go for example on Manila Philippines, How can i say on AI driver or just simply type on your system to recognize the place that i want to go? Or else your AI driver have voice recognition app that can track my words? And then what if i change my mind to change the place this AI Driver will recognize my last place want to go? To give you a deeper example these are some of the things currently being researched by the R&D teams Data filtered through high tech mapping & satellites Traced routs of popular pick-up points for cars to have point to point system similar to train a circuit Speech recognition Gesture recognition Eye tracking and driver monitoring Virtual assistance and natural language interfaces Driver face analytics and emotion recognition Object detection/identification/avoidance Predictive maintenance This creates many options More efficient pick up times to drive to established routs Locating nearby shops / food outlets that are previously visited by the customer Token based / digital payment solutions embedded into the driver interface. Vehicle network and data security Automated on-road customer service Setting reminders to purchase needed household items as the passanger approaches relevant stores This sounds really promising, the setting reminder purchase is a good add on and is really useful. I hope this gets to as many places where commuting is a very big issue by the masses. |

Cannot Wait to See Drivr Application on Playstore, Waiting Also for the response about my question for Drivr Card if Drivr Token can Covert to Fiat by using Drivr Card your response is much appreciated.
Good question, I also wanna know how this thing works. I wanna know also how the rate will go, will it be based on satoshi value or USD or the local currency where Drivr will be operating soon. |

I am also from the philippines, yes there are uber and grab in here, but I am looking for more, I am looking for a unique and more advanced app like your project, what people wants is something new, a more interesting project and more easy ways for them to commute. I think this project has it all. There is something similar but, there is uniqueness.
Yes this project was better than grab and uber I think because they have given the power for people to pay with the use of blockchain but is the token will have soon it's own blockchain? or jsut connected to ethereum blockchain? because I think that if this coin will not have it's own blockchain the network of ethereum will be overloaded. Will all payments be thru DRVR token or do they also accept other coins like btc or ethereum. But also im thinking that the mass commuters are not widely introduced or exposed to blockchain and crypto. One follow up question, will the rates be based on USD or the local currency where it will be operating or its the satoshi value of DVR coin once it gets listed on exchanges? |

If your propose project will be approve how can you guarantee the safety of the passengers most especially during late hours. Is there any way that you can assure your passenger that they can go home safe?
I think they should include a real time tracking and security measures for each drivers same goes to customers so they can guarantee that the passenger will got home safe same with the drivers because we can't tell people nowadays the bad guy sometimes is the driver and sometimes the passengers. so I think that the real time tracking will help this a lot in terms of their safety and security.Features that I think uber and grab don't implement well. Up on this one. Totally agree, this is a good suggestion for the passenger's safety, and because it is build on a blockchain, everyone will be able to track it. But my concern also is, what if everyone can track it, can the creepers easily know where one person is? Another concern should be dealt with. Data accumulated through blockchain should not be disclosed to anyone unless otherwise provided by any trial for cases on process. Because somehow, hackers or persons with bad intentions can use data from the passenger to monitor where he or she is going to. Good questions guys. I hope do also someone knowledgeable enough will be answering his or her thoughts about our suggestions. Yup, this is kind of a big deal for every passengers, but i think the dev team have already solutions on this one, i hope. Maybe each passenger can add a designated person who can track her or him, say a family member that can be added to the app as contact person so the passenger can be tracked or monitored. I think this part will be up for reconsideration. I totally agree that security of passengers will be a big factor especially that they are integrating blockchain technology with this project, but I know the developers will look into it and I know they will figure out an option regarding this concern. Yes for sure they are looking into every angle to provide the best for both drivers and passengers. Hope this project will be used in majority of countries where commuting is a big problem, this project has real use case. |

This is a very interesting project for the masses who use public transportation. But how will drivers calculate the rates? Is there a basis for that? As said in one of the features that drivers can set the rates.
for my opinion it will be unfair if the driver will set a fare rate because there will be different rate per driver then let say Driver A has a rate of $1 per 1KM then Driver B has a rate of $0.5 per 1KM then the passenger will go to the place where Driver A and B are available to then let say Driver B is not avail then the passenger will be force to pay high to get to the place he/she wants to go to with the same KM but different rates I suggest that the system or platform will set a fare rate and should not be entrust with the drivers with that they can be fair with the users. My sentiments exactly. That's what I want to clarify if there's a basis for the fare rate. Coz if the drivers will set the base fare, then they could abuse it if it's rush hour or late at night. Might be the fair basis for the transporation fee is how much really the gasoline is being consumed plus or additional to the fixed compensation of these drivers. If otherwise, drivers will be the one to demand the price, it will be ineffective and might project be disturbed. We can give the drivers fair pay for their job and also give them sufficient employee benefits. Totally agree on this one. I think this is one of the main focus of this project being built on blockchain is to give both passengers and drivers equally good or shall i say better options without exploiting the core which is decentralized app where both parties can benefit. |

Hello crypto fans! I have drafted a topic summarizing (with your help) all types of existing and upcoming crypto exchanges: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2918431.0Now, to make that information even more usable, through evaluating each type of exchange, let's consider the primary concerns of traders (us). That info will also help current and future Exchanges to fit our (traders) needs. By voting on that topic kindly choose 4 (four) most influencing parameters for you, when you decide, what exchange to use for trading. Here are the list of parameters and short explanations: 1. Crypto-favorable country of Exchange's registration Means a comparatively low risk of exchange closure by regulators. 2. High degree of security Means cold storage of crypto, 2FA, perfect protection of clients private data and funds. 3. Fast and excellent customer support 4. Solid reputation and positive clients feedbacks 5. The lowest fees on the market Means the lowest total cost of trading: including deposit fee, trade fees, withdrawal fee and best limits policy. 6. Ability to buy/sell at best prices Means an abundance of trading pairs, liquidity, real-time & not-fake auctions leading to most transparent prices. 7. Availability of margin or/and derivatives trading 8. Ease of use Means a quite simple interface of an exchange. Vote to make the crypto world more attractive for you and newcomers! My 1st concern will always be the security, hence why im ticking it. 2nd will be the reputation and feedback, that's how we usually try and use the exchange because of this, 3rd is the ease of use, i want everything to be as simple as possible, crypto is already complicated, atleast user interface of exchanges should make up for it. And lastly, costumer support, i made this as last choice, since we dont raise ticket everyday but also equally important if ever we have issues with withdrawal/deposit and amongst other things. |
