One thing that you should understand. The fast growth that we've all witnessed in 2017 was not healthy. The general situation about cryptocurrencies was too overhyped. That thing usually doesn't happen in the mature market, some asset can't make x10 in a very short amount of time. Development of the bitcoin market will definitely lead us to a situation when even x2 per year would be an awesome performance.

We know addresses of major exchanges. It seems like if major exchanges support this thing and they would be able to count the amount of transactions they received. I think that some major crypto exchanges would be enough to make at least approximate calculations.
Sometimes police can track transactions, related to some serious dark web illegal stuff. I thing it is possible to gather some data used by legal services.

I have no idea where are you from but I can 100% accurately say that it is not illegal. Maybe some aspects of cryptocurrencies are not covered by your local laws but no one is getting jailed for holding Bitcoins.
In case with BTC you are buying it for your local currency. In case with perfect money you are not buying anything, you are just putting your money on your account on the payment system. The amount of your money shouldn't be changed. Those two things shouldn't be compared.

Guys, that's just Electrum. Pretty often its recommended fee require either x10 more than average transaction fee or x10 less fee. So you will either overpay pretty much or underpay and make your transactions stuck for several days. Just don't take those electrum fees seriously and double check fees on the other websites.

And from the other side there is Corbyn aiming to ger a PM seat. His rhetoric (and also his connections among terrorists) would definitely support a new revolution in the UK. But it is definitely not gonna be a good one.
With all this brexit mess Nigel Farage would probably become less popular.

This is the feature that Bitcoin borrowed from paper money. If you gave your cash to someone and this seller disappeared then it would be pretty hard for you to find him. At least your transaction would not be traced. The same thing is happening with BTC. Now we got reversible online money like PayPal and irreversible like Bitcoin.

Just imho but cryptocurrencies will remain volatile until it has a small market cap which could be changed only if institutional investor would invest into cryptocurrencies. At least that's hot it happens in the real world. Most of the fiat money is owned by companies or banks but not common people like you and me. If many different companies would own a decent amount of bitcoins that would give everyone a good volume.

Universities are already accepting donations and it is not really a big problem to exchange your Bitcoins and donate fiat. The other problems is that many universities are deserve to die. There is a huge amount of universities and colleges in EU and US that are not giving any education and used only as a sport club or just as an organisation that would help foreigners to get their visas and stay in the country.

The KYC by itself is not really  a big deal. You are buying a pretty expensive mining equipment and going to receive it personaly so you would definetely have to leave information about yourself to get the parcel in the post office. Also in case of any legal complaints it would be easier to prove that you've made anprder and payed some money for that.
It seems like they require business license if you are ordering equipment as an enterprise.

Coin telegraph is not the most shitty crypto website but this news don't seem trustworthy. When everyone knows that nigeria is is a poor country with a huge inflation and now you say that nigerians lost millions only in paxful. Just imagine how much crypto they should have in total, excluding paxful. I guess that if nigerians really had that much coins they would probably leave this country and find a better place to live. There is a plenty of better places in africa.

One thing to add.
It is true that Marxism always operates to victim status of some class. But as we see it is not necessarily supposed to be the proletariat. Working class was in the middle of marxist ideology somewhere at the 20 century. Now when proletariat understood that Marx was wrong and working class does not really suffer from anything Marxists switched their ideology to different minorities: mostly sexual or religious ones.

In some other words: "I know that I'm right but I don't know how to prove it and I don't have to because you are wrong."

There are dozens of so-called "bitcoin killers" which have better transaction speed and less fees. But for some reason a good old BTC is still in charge with all its flaws. The same things happen with bitcoin - gold competition. Gold have way longer history and larger market cap. But despite all disadvantages that you see it is still one of the most important securities for investment.
Also no one has proved the correlation between gold and bitcoin price and we cand say that someone sold his gold bar to buy some BTC.

SEC can't issue a secret law. People have to know about it if they need to follow this law. They can issue some kind of recommendation and provide some sanctions against the ones, who is not following those recommendations but is is still not the law and no one is getting any extra legal responsibilities.

They don't have to. If you are dealing with the economy you don't have to ask a doctor or engineer for advice and vice versa.

A wish to deposit crypto somewhere and get interest is a stupid idea by default. Cryptocurrencies are generally considered as a very risky investments. And you are trying to give your risky investment to someone else, who may not give it back. In that case you are multiplying your risks. And tbh those interests are not really big (untill you are looking on a ponzi) and not worth that risk.

I remember that I've participated in 2 rounds of Best Mixer review campaign here approximately  a year ago.
The service looks fine but they set 2h delay by default. That can be a problem if you need your coins fast but forgot to change the delay. Later I needed some mixing service, read about ChipMixer, did not understood how this chip thing works and came back to bestmixer with the understanding that is is not that good but it is fast and simple.

Hm... I got an idea.
If there is any way to figure out which percent of those transactions is related to speculations (it supposed to be a pretty large number) thengeneral amount of transactions without speculations may show the exact usage of Bitcoin. That's not a super serious thing but we could be able to track the bitcoin adoption this way.

It sounds like Bitmain can just remove their pool and farms somewhere abroad and leave their miner-selling business in China, because they still would be able to sell it abroad. The main thing is that they should keep producing miners. If miners are produced then they will find someone, who will make them work.

For some reason, after I registered on some crypto related websites and ICOs, my spam folder in mailbox is never getting empty. Huge amount of airdrops, ICO announcements or PnD groups are trying to spam you. Seems like there is a database of crypto related e-mails and quite many people can use it.
IMHO the best way is to create a new email for all crypto related services and don't show anyone your main one.

Maybe if you know how to live without food, clothes and roof over your head then it is worth that. Otherwise, that's what is waiting for you if your give up your job and will study crypto all your time. You should buy crypto only for money that you can afford to lose. Also you need to have money to have a chance to wait some time in losses without selling your coins in case if you need to pay your rent during a dips.

First of all you can move this thread to Service Discussion, maybe more people could help you there.
And then explain what stopps you from creating your own adsense account and make goodle ads to your account. You can even add it on your blogger if you don't have your website.
Once you passed registration on adsense and placed ads on your website it may take some time before ads appear because google needs to "verify" your website.
