Portugal has its own national cryptocurrency by the name CryptoEscudo (CESC) which is named after the pre-Euro currency of Portugal.
maybe it's been put together by someone who once went on holiday to portugal. that's as official as that gets as far as i can tell. look into the 'country coin' craze of a couple or more years ago. they were all crap created by scammers. |

then it goes peer to peer. i don't really see how they're gonna stop that.
in the meantime countries where it's fully legal like japan will thrive and other countries will compare the wreckage that america creates.
since no one can control any cryptocurrency they'll have to ban all of them. and i mean proper ones, not stuff like ripple.
the only truly likely possibility is exchanges being forbidden from dealing with stuff like monero and even that's a long shot.

HUGE congratulations to all the BTCP holders, you did it!! Were currently trading at $300 and as high as $800.
High BTC
0.07999900
Low BTC
0.00320002
Volume 24H
37.92052249
with those prices i assume they're trading nothing but futures. as soon as you can deposit somewhere then i expect the price to fly to the ground like most of the others. can anyone point me to an exchange where you can deposit or withdraw it? |

Regular people aren't scared to show their ID to a legit company like Jumio.
i've never heard of jumio. regular people associate crypto with drug dealing, pedophiles and scams. if it was being distributed through their local bank or paypal then that's a different matter. they're not gonna go for this in the form it is. |

Another project with very, very questionable success expectations. Above all: Why do you need a specific token for a specific niche market? I never understood the reasoning behind that. The only reason is likely that the platform wants to "crowdfund" some funds. Because otherwise, they simply could use one of the 1000+ general purpose cryptocurrencies. People will never remember all these tokens (will the futureTM be "one token per product" or what?  ). If cryptocurrencies become popular, and only then, there's a chance that music and other digital goods can be massively sold in cryptos - but people simply will want to pay their music in Bitcoin or another one of the bigger cryptocurrencies. There could be limited use for some tokens with a B2B focus and some special features needed in certain financial markets, but even those can be mostly replaced with general-purpose smart contracts. yep. it's ludicrous and if these people had any faith in their idea they wouldn't be touting this. there'll come a point, and likely soon, where people see straight through icos for what they are - nothing but a dead end cash grab. they'll become a liability. i thought imogen heap was the one doing interesting things with blockchains and music distribution but that seems to be in stealth mode for now. http://myceliaformusic.org |

i don't buy any of this myself.
and intelligence has zero to do with wealth. the most intelligent people i know are all broke and will never amount to squat.
the people with money are the ones with drive, an eye for opportunity and people skills. luck had nothing to do with it either. they made their own luck using those skills. that's what you need.

it's pretty simple. bcash's propaganda is put together by people fueled by greed, anger and low IQ scores.
bitcoin propaganda is the rolls royce of psyops. bitcoin has the brains, the money, the belief. you won't even know you're being manipulated it's that good. it helps that bcash is hopelessly amateurish and clunky in comparison but the bitcoin equivalent is subtly out there.
there are talks of secret telegram groups where they coordinate their efforts.

For a first they have comunity with holders , which are not on the airdrop. They also have longest btc chain , and around 12% of btc hash power. and its also top 4 cap cryptocurrency
And this is one alive fork , except ltc ofc.
uh, the 'longest chain' is certainly nothing to be proud of. that's the product of mediocre planning and coding. the only thing bcash has going for it is first fork status of the present crop and being the plaything of moneyed assholes with a hostile agenda. the hash power is a byproduct of that too. but other than that, if someone asked me to sell bitcore to them i'm not sure i'd have a great deal to say at present. let's hope some cool stuff is pulled out of the hat. |

I think regulation it is nessesarry
what regulation is possible beyond what's already in place? try opening an account on a legit exchange and you'll certainly know what regulation looks like. they can't regulate actual bitcoin transactions. they can't regulate non custodial wallets. i agree that anyone taking charge of other people's crypto such as exchanges, custodial wallets and icos need to be kept on a short leash. beyond that i don't see what else is possible. |

i find it really strange that in these days of calls for closer integration, tax and finance regulations are still absolutely all over the place in europe. i dunno how they plan to take on the world if they're still competing with each other for business.
if there ever is more federalisation then europe tends to follow germany's lead. germany is the daddy and always will be. it's kind of odd how relaxed they are about bitcoin taxation but if i were german i certainly wouldn't be complaining.

I wonder what % of new users who linked a BTC balance heard about the cancelled airdrop and deleted Byteball before this happened, thinking that they got screwed after the last-minute cancellation.
I'm guessing it's a fair number of them. We can consider those tokens "burned" from the distribution.
it didn't occur to anyone to give people a little heads up that this was going to happen before the time? weird. i like surprises. some people don't. everyone prefers some information so they can plan for events like this. |

Was anybody here holding Bitconnect? I must admit, the social media buzz and Youtube ads almost grabbed me as an investor. Things just seemed to good for me to follow through.
hell no. and as for anyone else i really hope not. i simply cannot understand how anyone, anywhere would fall for something as obvious as this. it fulfilled every single criteria for a ponzi scheme. https://www.sec.gov/fast-answers/answersponzihtm.htmlit just goes to show that greed and stupidity is an unlimited resource in crypto. it always will be too. |

i think when countries start looking into the actual mechanics of doing this they'll realise it's pretty much pointless.
i'm not gonna include the venezuelan one as that's probably a cash grab.
canada looked into this with the mintchip idea a few years ago and shelved it. i don't really see where the advantages lie for them. it'll have to be pegged to their existing currency. why not stick with the existing currency and make it slicker to use?

just an fyi and not an endorsement! these guys apparently haven't been called scammers .....(yet .) use at own risk, though as they say in OP, move coins 1st! then most you can lose is the forked shitcoins only. anyway all good feedback so far but mostly from noobs if that means anything. 10% fee https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2434261.0the only tricky ones on the list they do are s2x and united bitcoin. united bitcoin in particularly has been loathsome in the way they've done it. all the others can be done easily enough yourself. i wouldn't give away 10% when you can do it in a few clicks yourself. coinomi and bitpie/bither will take care of them. |

But i believe it can surpass bitcoin.
tell us why you think this. i cannot one find single compelling reason why that would be possible. the current trough is a much needed breather for exchanges and other services to get their stuff together and start using bitcoin's blockchain sensibly. batching and more segwit will clean up a huge amount of the overload we had last year. i'm not super convinced that lightning networks will solve much, but bitcoin is getting more developments all the time. bcash is not doing much other than sitting there attempting to con people into using it. |

If to think over a little It would be better to re-enter BTX in mid-may when price would be the lowest after airdrops lasts. In that case you can get more coin amount than with airdrops.
And don't forget about other competitors that don't sit strait and moving forward.
interesting to see what happens when the airdrops finish. will it move things on to a new phase of growth or will things tail off? byteball has cooled off massively since the airdropping stopped. right now 98% of people in this space are here for the free money and nothing else. |

Oh well, it's always hard to know what to do. I have most of my BTC on Ledger wallets, so my strategy was to wait until they supported those forks as they did with BCH and BTG or wait until most forks finished, then move all my BTC to another ledger and then use the previous seed to claim it all. Some months ago fees were expensive for moving too. Also, one is never sure when those shitcoins are gonna pump later. Decisions decisions. I guess it is just about time I move my BTC and start claiming everything... will decide later if sell immediately, wait, or a mix of both. Retrospectively I do agree I could have done much better on this  there are way, way too many forks now for the hardware wallet providers to bother any more. you're on your own with most of them. move your bitcoin out of the ledger, pull out the private key with a bip39 tool and go play. the bitpie/bither combination is good for claiming some of the coins and bitpie now has an internal exchange where you can get rid of some of them. that's a big bonus as some of them were only on weird chinese places that were insisting on passports and stuff. i'm on the fence about instadumping myself. so few people will bother claiming that i can foresee some insane pumps in the future. some of these coins must have a supply 100 times less than bitcoin and what supply there is around now is going straight into pumper pockets. i've gotten rid of a proportion but i'll wait with the rest. there could be major dumbass windfalls in the future. |

nope. however people are forgetting the nano's one and only job which is to shield your private keys from exposure to the internet. its protection won't extend to anything you see on your computer screen.
anything your computer is showing you could be compromised. you might be the victim of a man in the middle attack when someone inserts a false address to divert the coins away from their original destination through the ledger app. there's been a fake ledger app in the chrome store though i don't know whether it actually works.
always verify the addresses on the ledger nano screen itself.

the really sensible bitcoin rich guys will be the ones you've never heard of and never will. that's the only way to fly. one of the few we can be absolutely certain about is the winklevoss twins as they had to link it to their ETF proposals.
as for satoshi and one million coins, i've yet to see anything definitive about that figure. it will be in the hundreds of thousands for sure because he was the main, and often only, miner for a long time.

It is so irritation causing when knowing that we have to wait more than 2 weeks for money to be loaded and available for utilisation. Those who have regular deposit and withdrawal activities will never like such redundant service.
According to me, xapo is instant in updating wallet loads and their cards work in smooth way at my lical ATMs
uh, have you tried to use your xapo card in the last few months? i think you'll find it is 100% dead and useless. they got shut down like everyone else at the start of the year. all the eggs were in one basket unless you know something i don't. https://blog.xapo.com/xapo-card-closure-update-and-whats-next/the card section is still up on their website so i don't know what's going on there. |
