Hey everyone
I was mining just for fun when in 2013/14 mining with a gpu was still viable. Since that day im wondering if it is too late to get involved in bitcoin even though I stopped thinking about it for a few years since I was about 15 years old with different things on my mind. Just recently I began wondering again: Is it too late to get involved in bitcoin? After the price blew up in 2014 I asked me the same thing and thought the hype is over and I am just too late. Even if bitcoin is a bubble and each bitcoin is overvalued who can safely tell when the bubble is going to pop if it ever will? I just think this is an awesome project with an equally awesome community despite the weird things in the altcoin section that tend to become more and more popular due to "weird" people picking up on the bitcoin hype caused by media and the increased internet awareness. Im talking about projects like "bigboobscoin" which is topped by some emojis in the title. Since I came along this project I want to own one of the 21M bitcoins to ever be created. In addition bitcoin has something magical to it which I cant put in words but the fact that satoshi never got identified gives me this feeling of a revolution of currency with the right intension. He never pulled out his round about 1 million btc. Well who knows maybe Satoshi is dead by now and his btc will never be touched. Bitcoin came out of the mind of a genious and is so much more worth than only "going to the moon".

Im just wondering if bitcoin and its community still got the same spirit or have the weird people and rich investors overtaken to ruin this project by treating it like a pump and dump shitcoin without a soul?
I hope my english is good enough to make you understand my thoughts and feelings.

Have a nice day.

When are you going to release the new update? Thanks.

What would you do if Saturday Morning you wake up  and Bitcoin Price Drops to 0.89 cents?
Also I would love too hear opinions on what would it take for something like that to happen.
I imagine President Trump would have to outlaw bitcoin or something of that magnitude at this
point right  
or even better What would you do if Bitcoin Skyrockets too 2,5 million USD per Bitcoin  
HOLY CHIP!!! I would Buy my own Island and make myself The king and have hundreds of children with my hundreds of wives
because I would immediately divorce This one definitely trade her in  for someone who doesn't talk so much blah blah blah .....
and is always moving my damm shoes
IF I PUT MY SHOES SOMEWHERE I WANT TO FIND THEM THERE IF I WANTED THEM IN THE CLOSET I WOULD PUT THEM THERE

Dear friends,
As all you see we've got so heavy load on our website and payment gates, that we were not able to process all requests in time.
As a TEMPORARY solution we are opening another payment gate - https://icobacker.com/campaigns/universa-tokens/ico-1 (btc/eth). This is the very same service where Universa preICO was hold.
Also you can use our campaign at KickICO - https://www.kickico.com/campaigns/38941/universa-blockchain-protocol (eth)
Sorry for any inconvenience. We'll do our best to make things working.





Universa is a new generation blockchain protocol, which has every potential to become a significant landmark in the development of a blockchain industry. Alexander Borodich, a creator of Universa platform, explains why this can happen in the nearest future. “Today, the dependence of blockchain on highly costly mining process resembles the dependence of gold coins on the price of gold. Instead, we suggest new cheap and easy way of creating smart contracts, which can act as cash substitutes, in a somewhat original way. If the invention of a bitcoin can be compared to the discovery of gold, then Universa is a new stage, symbolizing the arrival of paper money to the market of mutual settlements,” he says.





Universa has originally been developed not as a cryptocurrency, but as a protocol creating and operating chains of smart contracts. Therefore, Universa platform does not depend on mining, which results both in high speed and low cost of procession operations, in terms of the resources required.


Universa nodes do not require mining and are responsible for verifying the transactions and smart contracts that customers submit onto the network. Waiving mining opened a way to increase network performance by hundreds of times. The Universa blockchain structure is based on the language of smart contracts, developed from scratch. The well-thought-out logical structure and language hierarchy made it possible to reach the speed of 10,000 transactions per second on the network nodes.


Today, it deems absolutely unreasonable to charge $3,85 for a few cents worth microtransaction. Yet, on the Bitcoin platform, this price is a current money transfer fee, which accounts for the speculative nature of Bitcoin exchange rate, and its high volatility. The smart contacts system on Universa platform allowed to decrease such fees by hundreds of times.


Various smart contract chains can be created on Universa platform.  These smart contracts can be implemented in almost all business fields. Universa smart contracts can be applied to programming both intracompany applications and public ones. For example:

• Vehicle smart key
• Fitness and SPA pass card
• IoT - smart home elements working together
• Payments at parking lots or gas stations
• Logistics, cargo tracking  

It will be possible to implement all of the above mentioned and many other ways of Universa smart contracts applications, in the nearest future.


The Universa platform significantly simplifies the transaction processes in the field of e-commerce. It will make it possible to accept payments in any currency in automated mode in any currency in automatic mode and formalize the transaction document with a smart contract on the spot. Along with everything else, Universa will simplify the process of applying for loans in the Internet, electronic currency exchange, and filling in customs declarations to a great extent.

There is no doubt that Universa will soon become one of the key blockchain platforms and will be widely present in different business spheres. Alexander Borodich is very open about his ambitious plan to  attract at least $ 100 million during ICO. Today, Borodich, the former Mail.ru Group top manager, is the most active venture investor in Russia and the founder of Venture Club crowd investment platform.







In short: Universa defines a set of data formats, protocols and entities, which enable smart contracts owned and controlled by services, organizations and persons, with a decentralized notary cloud that certifies each transaction.

Each smart contract comes in a heavily protected, packed representation, the capsule, signed by at least one party (the owner) and optionally by any number of other parties; the capsule contains an unencrypted public, and optionally an encrypted private part, with multiple-key access. For example, the contract owner may not have access to the encrypted part, and several other parties may independently have access.

Each capsule has a unique ID, by which the notary cloud can confirm and revoke its approval of the respective contract. A capsule approved by the notary cloud contains a smart contract, valid for all purposes declared in its public part.

A party that has the necessary rights (e.g. keys) to perform one or more valid actions under the respective contract can perform those and validate the results, e.g., transfer some e-currency from one owner to another, vote with a public or privileged share, receive dividends, or do virtually anything else.

is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? anyhow this money sits in the bank and do nothing for!

I heard Bitcoin cash(BCC/BCH) is gonna add by Coinbase/GDAX to their crypto market. January 1 is the date i saw at their statement. https://blog.coinbase.com/update-on-bitcoin-cash-8a67a7e8dbdf
http://coinmarketcal.com/?form%5Bmonth%5D=01&form%5Byear%5D=2018&form%5Bcoin%5D%5B%5D=Ethereum+%28ETH%29&form%5Bcoin%5D%5B%5D=Bitcoin+Cash+%28BCH%29&form%5Bsort_by%5D=&form%5Bsubmit%5D=



"We are planning to have support for bitcoin cash by January 1, 2018"

That's what they said. But still don't know if it's confirmed. Anyway, the source came from their blogs. So i guess that's true. So put some in your bags now. This will go to moon again.

What are the Coinbase or GADX next crypto additions?

I see that you are only focusing on the price, but you should pay attention to the marketcap and the coins supply.

Maybe there are coins who are under $0,25 and have a huge marketcap, but the price is very low because they have a huge supply.

And there are some coins who are over $1000 but they have less than $100m of marketcap, and this is only because they have a low supply, probably less than ten millions.

start focusing yourself on the marketcap+supply, not on the price.

I see Ripple will go to $1 level very soon as more international banks joins the bandwagon. Are there any coins like this under $1?

I choose team, why? i encountered many ICOs which are good in everything except with their team and after their coins are get listed in exchange all of them fall down. I believe that a strong team is needed for coins to have a good value with these days unlike before were if you show your platform that is good it will have an easy skyrocket price change later on exchanges.

I choose a good ICO on several factors. The team must have open LinkedIn  profiles.
I always look if the project has a working business. Plus the presence of serious partners.
