I felt it when paypal was the only hope I have and I been denied with it? ITs the most frustrating of all tragedy that had happen to me. Blockchain and Cryptocurrency is the answer. No one can block nor deny you. This is the most amazing of all invention of all times that it can be used not just in crypto but for almost everything. It may take time before the adoption of this technology but its all coming soon.
Honestly, it's only those that has previously been affected by our traditional/financial institutions like PayPal, that will understand and appreciate the relief blockchain technology has brought the their lives, I'm a partaker of these benefits of blockchain technology. It's clear that must nation are yet to utilize the benefits of blockchain technology, but that doesn't mean we should not share our positive testimonies. An ungrateful is likewise to be unfaithful. I'm faithful to blockchain quest.... Interesting thread. We in the west take many things for granted while others in the world struggle with what we may consider the basics. The OP has given a first hand example of how crypto is helping him in his life when he/she can not access some of our basics. |

Based on the fact that I now felt that the driving force behind theymos' decisions was not $
Right, I don't care about making money from the forum personally. (I've actually thought about getting rid of the forum ads, since it's often a big headache and the forum has enough reserves for a long time, but operating at a significant loss while there's money basically just sitting on the table feels wrong, even if the level of loss is sustainable for quite a while.) The things on the forum which encourage spam are allowed mainly because it's part of the forum's mission to be as free as possible. Eg. banning bounties would undoubtedly reduce spam, but that'd be destroying an entire economy/population/culture which has been able to develop due to the forum's freedom. I am willing to take this sort of action, but only as an absolute last resort. It's always preferable to handle these problems by reshaping the environment to make them non-problems, rather than removing some freedom. It's wonderful when someone is able to constructively do something on the forum instead of continuing with whatever they were expected to do under the status quo. Enabling that sort of thing is exactly why Bitcoin and this forum were created. Though bitcointalk.org is not a worldwide welfare organization, and people are not entitled to make money. Limiting newbie participation is very harmful for a community. Newbie jail will never return: I consider the newbie-jail period to have been extremely damaging to the forum. When barriers to participation are too high, then the best people often just won't go to the trouble of joining, and the people who are willing to jump through the hoops are often people who aren't good for the community: people with nothing better to do, scammers, get-rick-quickers, etc. Having a permanent newbie jail policy would improve things a lot in the short-term, but would end up being a fatal poison to the community. The low signal-to-noise is a real issue which seriously annoys me and is often on my mind. But as you mention, fixing it non-destructively is difficult. We have to commend the Admins for creating the truly democratic platform in the world. All shades of opinion and full expression are accommodated, yet regulated. I totally agree, bitcointalk.org is a FORUM, its free to join and its monitored by both board moderators and signature campaign administrators. The forum is here to be used by all and anyone who wants to be involved in crypto. There is no restriction to getting involved by a persons technical or linguistical abilities. bitcointalk.org provides a platform for educating, learning, expressing opinions and as a source revenue which we are all entitled to under the rules of the forum. It is refreshing to read theymos' post after reading the OP's which to me seem a bit elitist |

Well done, I love abstract art. It's done very subtly as well, very nice!  Thank you ZipReg. This is my first crypto related art piece. I have plans for another. I am working on a few ideas but getting the time for me atm is a problem. |

Virtually everyone is expecting another boom in the crypto space. We hope for another bullish market. The question we kept on asking ourselves is "When is bull run going to start?"
- 2018 does not really support the boom for most ICOs, unlike what we had in 2017.
- In 2017 airdrops were very profitable, unlike what we have in 2018, where most airdrops just seem useless.
... and the comparison continues ...
Despite all these, i can confidently say that, notwithstanding the bearish market, 2018 has been a very good year for both Traders and Investors alike.
Really? everyone is expecting another boom, more like all newbies are expecting/hoping/wishing for it. There are suggestions that the markets could be stagnant until tge next bitcoin Halving but nobody can tell. As for airdrops, i think the general consensus is they are useless. |

If bitcoin were to be accepted, on the condition that it should be regulated. Do you think it should be done, disregarding its decentralized nature?
Accepted by who? There are clearly people who think bitcoin will be accepted by governments around the world as their currency. Its dilusional to think this The question has to be asked, how can bitcoin become centralised? |

At this stage i would think the vast majority of people still holding bitcoin
are not going to give up. Those people have given up already.
We all know at this stage bitcoin will gain adoption and value it doesnt
matter when its important that we keep believing and using bitcoin

So with another bump I have taken some ideas from a member of the community and added a colour associated with Bitcoin - Orange and adding extra veins and spots of Gold over which will be added 2 coats of acrylic satin varnish.   |

Debt and loan are not the same thing, well technically not anyway.
One is created from the other like coal and heat.
When a money is borrowed by one person it is loaned by the other.
What is created is the debt.

We can control our own crypto, we dont need a bank to do it for us.
That doesn't mean that there won't be people who don't want to take responsibility for securing their own money. Wouldn't you feel much better blaming bank for the loss rather than yourself? Also, many people still have problems with some basic operations. This will change since current generation is used to technology but I can't imagine seeing my parents using the Lightning Network or simply signing a message using a Bitcoin address. I don't see anything wrong in such banks as long as people are aware of other possibilities. Good points made. I think when the lightning network becomes fully functional more people will opt to use it and not everyone needs to sign messages using their bitcoin address. I still think it strange that there are people willing to trust some institute with their crypto eventhough I know some people dont put a high importance on the idea of being in control of their own crypto. Strange how bitcoin is evolving. |

Yes you are correct. The Bitcoin whitepaper states clearly the reasons behind Satoshi's invention. As we all know now there are a lot of people who dont rate this as a beneficial factor. There is even talk of a crypto bank startup in Switzerland! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5039174.0 |

Well imo bitcoin cannot be stopped, banks or governments cannot stop it.
They can control their own end of the process of transferring crypto to FIAT.
We could possibly see a more agressive campaign from banks to control
their customers usage of crypto as the popularity and adoption increases.

The many are mostly newbies i would think and those who dont see the long term picture of bitcoin and other crypto. These vearish times are great for exactly why they are called bear markets, stocking up! |

If it is the case that speculators outweigh criminals in crypto, I would think
that the mainstream media will still use the criminal factor to beat bitcoin with.

Its good news and good publicity. It might stimulate a bit more interest in crypto,
like bitcoin and while bitcoin and friends are the only crypto working now each
country will be creating their own centralised crypto, i recon this is what he is
talking about.

No need for a crypto bank. you can have a crypto bank account but so what? No merchants in your cities accepting cryptos? I would rather be my own banker than to let someone with a full control of my funds. No private keys, no coins.
And oh, what if the bank fails, no money for you anymore
Yes, my sentiments exactly. Isnt a crypto bank totally going against the idea of bitcoin and why it was actually invented? Yes. We can control our own crypto, we dont need a bank to do it for us. |

People around the age of 18 -28 id say techy people they are just more willing to understand change when it is tech related
Yes i would also suggest the above age group. They are the group which comprises college graduates with a disposable income and dont yet have the same amount of expenses as older home owners for example. They are the tech savvy group and are likely to see bitcoin and crypto as something for the future. |

Definitely a scam, if they could make money themselves, they would do it in a heartbeat. One can always use levarage and such.
Correct. If they can guarantee 25% return why are they contacting other people You would expect them to invest everything they have themselves for that 25% return. Definitely smells of a scam. |

The blockchain will evolve and developers will create solutions to potential
problems and also to tweak existing issues.
Bitcoin is evolving, Segwit and the Lightning Network are 2 additions to the
bitcoin blockchain.
