I am actually happy that a reputable platform is coming out with figures and verifiable evidence about the real transactions carried out with the intention of breaking the law. However, the 2% so low, when it comes to value, its something that can still be beaten down to the barest minimum and the reason why it seems its alarming is that, it seems so impossible to nab the perpetrators of such act which is why there is more to be done in sanitizing the crypto space to the envy of large corporations who are ready to bring in funds and the required publicity in other to ensure the penetration is done at a high level.

Yeah! the reason why that is, is because majority of those making a comment here are bounty guys who don't posses such thing as being patient, 90% only knows short term gains, they judge a project by its current selling price and not by the achievement the project has made so far or what they intend to accomplish in long term, good thing is the team are very focus to the course and they don't pay attention to irrelevant winning.

Looking at the market generally now, it is not easy for any project to keep with the price speculated if there are no use case. My trust on the project, if it is true, is the commitment to fulfil a large part of the roadmap that bring a good use case that could drive demand. There is no reason getting on many top exchanges if a good part of the roadmap is not accomplished.

Ethereum is really getting old and the hype of 2017 that led to its increase may not repeat it self again because of the strong competition in the crypto space. Some us who have been holding ethereum since 2017 may not recover our losses in time to come with the look of things.

well halving is not enough reason for bitcoin to climb $100k, although im sure bitcoin will reach that price by year 2024 ,bitcoin on that year is already strong.

I think potentially we’ll see $100,000 per BTC at some point towards the end of 2021. My reasoning for this is that it usually takes a while for the reduced supply of bitcoin’s (due to the halving) to be reflected in the price. It’s all about the supply & demand - reduced supply & increased demand = MOON!

I don't really see how this solves anything since you can just buy bitcoins within hours of getting your paycheck.

A better thing would be if a company started paying people in their own currency or the government created its own currency. Perhaps a stable coin based on the country in question local currency value and then it will simply be a digital version of it.

yes indeed it's not easy, but why do they promise if they can't keep? just making a trend so that many people are interested in buying before listing? it's better not to promise to list on 5 exchanges if it's not able to meet it, shut up better and walk like running water

I doubt if what you read on that, article is true, 60% of the entire crypto transactions can't be used for betting. Where did they get those claims from? Well, even if that's true, people decide what to do with their coins so it's not bad per say.  The bad aspects where crypto is used will be for demanding ransom in cases like kidnapping, smuggling funds etc.

I do not think US does have any investment in cryptocurrency, because if they had, Trump would not have come on twitter to make a statement which he knew could break bitcoin down a little and then break their investment, except maybe trump is just trying to create FUD that will make the price drop so that they can have chance to buy cheaply.

The only country that I don’t trust is North Korea, North Korea is too wise and could be gathering wealth secretly through the system by playing as whales. That is just an assumption though, only their government knows the truth. For institutions, I am sure we will have so many institutions who understand the technology of bitcoin will be accumulating bitcoin underground, and maybe that is why we do see some sudden jump in the price of bitcoin at times without explanation.

The chart only focused on BTC. And it is almost impossible to understand others seriously. But there seems to be a few more performing coins. (Of course, we can't understand which coin is available because the chart data is not very healthy.)

Let`s say you are satoshi and you can get the miners on board or the majority of them, what would you change about bitcoin?

I would add a feature called bitcointime, where unique addresses/sidechains that are verified by the system (so we can only each have 1 address) create bitcointime over duration at a fixed rate (universal basic income). The people themselves would willingly upload themselves as the key to unlock that address using filesharing on a blockchain, the system can backtrack to make sure no duplicate information can be used because everything is stored on a blockchain.
