It's because buying bitcoin is easier than buying gold. Millennials today don't like those things that have a long process before you can ever have it. And that's why if that report says that millennials are more into bitcoin. It's easy to have it and at the same time while investing in it.
Bitcoin is accessible everywhere as long as there's internet while in gold, you need to be personally present at whichever store or individual you'll buy it.
thats the major reason here nothing else. acquiring gold is not that easy as buying btc online. and to add the fact that crypto is the new currency circulating in the internet. most of them want to be "in" in this digital age. holding crypto in their wallets is like they belong to the group. and this generation can easily understand how crypto works because of the things that they are already doing via smartphones and their gaming activities. it would not be hard for them how to install a crypto wallet and start owning or trading crypto on their phone. gold for them is the obsolete way to spend your wealth into |

People call XRP a scam coin because it has banks involved in it and the total number of tokens are high as well. There are a few who also talk about XRP to become the next BTC and even surpass BTC's marketcap tenfolds (it's a joke to me but as it's crypto, anything can happen). For that to happen, XRP needs to do a >100x even from its current value which seems impossible to me. Yet, I believe XRP has the potential to do above $2.5 this alt season and then, get back under $1. About BTC, sky is the limit because it's in a zone where a new ATH is yet to be decided, but I believe it should cross above $22.5k for a healthy ATH this time.
I do not think it is either, XRP is not the next bitcoin but it is one of the oldest coins in the market since the idea behind it has been around for a very long time, so it is not a scam either, the reason a great deal of the community does not like it has to do with the fact that it is a centralized coins controlled by banks and as you can remember bitcoin exists so it can give us an option to not be part of that system and XRP does not offer this at all. actually thats true! a lot dont like this coin because of its centralised nature. however, i for one, is using this coin for transfer purposes because of its cheap tx fee and quite fast, which makes it as a good payment option, which is one of their goals for this coin. xrp is about to rise its value in few days because of this spark token airdrop, but i have the feeling that they will go down after the snapshot. so for those xrp holders, be prepared on what to do after the snapshot, sell or hold? either way, make sure before you sell, it is above your buying price. at least get profit out of it |

SoftBank CEO said crypto will be useful but Bitcoin is hard to understand, but what is crypto without bitcoin? And again how is Bitcoin so hard to believe? Is there anyone on here is find bitcoin hard to understand? What's your thought on this?
Did he mention what it is that is difficult to understand in Bitcoin or the area he’s referring to? Using Bitcoin simply for transaction, which is the main reason Satoshi Nakamoto made it, is easy than when you decide to start investing and trading it. When I was using Bitcoin for transactions I only buy when I need to send money and also when I receive Bitcoin as payment I don’t leave it there, I withdraw it that same minute using peer-to-peer exchanges that are locally available to get the money straight to my bank. There is really nothing hard to know about Bitcoin, just get a good wallet, copy your address and send to the payee or if you’re the one sending the money you ask for their address and copy paste, then send. So what’s hard in it? People just don’t want to use Bitcoin, there’s nothing hard in it. many people find it hard to understand because they dont know where to start with. if they will spend a lil bit of time understanding it and following some basic instructions that you can readily find from the net, it is actually easy. but people are lazy and they want to be spoon feed. anyway, if theres a will, theres a way, right? so for those serious users that wanted to know about bitcoin or crypto, they can easily do so. there are tons of info from the net that they can start learning from. they dont even need to enroll in a formal course or something. browse the net and bingo! they should be patient reading though. |

My personal take after a first test drive: - UI - Sleek and easy to use, switching between functions and tabs looks good
- Tx fees - As others have already noted, I would prefer to be able to set my own fees so let's say a custom options would be great
- Lightning - Any ETA regarding when this will be ready?
I could suggest this wallet for newcomers who would like to have a quick start with BTC and I will reserve to modify my review in the future.  the upcoming Lightning and exchange features are really valuable add-ons to this wallet. if they will add their internal exchange, it means they may be adding more coins in the list. hopefully to see eth, ltc, xrp, doge in the list. if those features will be added, i believe they can attract more users to use this wallet. |

does it mean that no matter how much the funds you will collect with the token sale, you will launch your exchange this month? and as you also mentioned, you will obtain your license next year. in what jurisdiction are you getting this license from?
btw, why are there trades history already? are those actual trades or just test trades?
and are you going to publish the team behind this project?

Yeah, many times have already passed and we would like to see more results of developement.
Rather I'd preffer to sell my Sia if any pump will have place.
based on their roadmap published on trello, they categorised their mission as long/medium/short term and they have one column for released features. so we dont know exactly where they are now or what they are planning for the next couple of years. maybe you can get recent updates if you are active discord member. but you can check their twitter account if you want to see their partnerships with other companies like Bitfrost Cloud and Skynet (partnership w/ gitcoin and open web). definitely, they have something going on. maybe they are not just active here in this thread to post those updates. they should at least give brief snapshots of whats happening here. so seems that your sia has still chance to get good value in the market... |

People say "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish". Even though it is true in our day to day life, in the crypto world. sometimes it can be problematic. Here, according to my view, what matters the most is your ability to forecast the future trends and how the market will behave in next few minutes, hours, days and months. Forecasting ability can be a function of multiple parameters such as your knowledge on market behavior, experience, analytic capabilities, access to information, etc.
I would like to hear from you on what would you think the most critical factor which affects someone's ability to take timely and correct decisions in this arena?
mostly people who have patience, knowledge and can control their emotions will have a good decisions in this crypto world my friend because, i think the three factors above will influence our decisions in crypto world Sometimes it's easy to say that we need to have those three factors in order to become successful in crypto world, but how to do it with aggressiveness? The reality won't coincide to that my friend, that's why step by step process should be made and doing it by only at once should be done all lone. Learning those things must come by threee phases and don't make it as combinations, do it one by one in order to fully acquire them. and those factors will be set aside if you have urgent needs, when you badly need to sell some of your portfolio. to address what you are facing with, and will be your saving grace for that particular moment. but afterwards, you can go back to your meticulous self when it comes to decision making. but who can really tell if your decision on that situation is timely and correct? no one can. you will only realise it afterwards. when all things got settled in my experience, follow your instincts. |

They self advertise themselves as a Fourth generation of blockchain in decentralize finance. Wow very impressive at the top of Draken's home page https://draken.tech/#Click on Ecosystem and choose DRK DEX, I see their exchange that has very poor design. There is four trading pairs on DRK DEX and all are related to DRK. One of the most bad DEX I've ever seen. https://draken.exchange/The DEX shows 6.692414 BTC are traded in 24 hours. Is it a real volume? Look at the candles and chart, there is no active trading so the volume would not be high like this. I'm surprised at their traffic rank they have a better traffic rank than Bitcointalk the traffic seems inflated they do not have enough volume to speak off, so many things are not right on the exchange and this is very suspicious. OP should create a scam thread in the scam section f they have proof and screenshots of the transactions that they are indeed got scam this is a reference for those who will trade on Draken. in my impression, the volume is somewhat shady. seems manipulated maybe owed to wash trading just to create that volume. even if you are new to this exchange, you will not get good impression to use their platform. and if they are legit in business, they should inform their customers about the minimum withdrawal and not that you will find out when youre about to withdraw. thats not a professional approach of a serious crypto exchange. if the OP has time and proofs, better create a scam accusation thread towards this exchange, so no more traders will be screwed by this exchange |

maybe at that time, there will be more users that will get their interest here. the dev should also remove nova exchange (long been out from business) in their list of exchanges as published on their site. they can replace it with FreiExchange instead. and noticed that the number of installs from google play is quite few. need to revive the community here.  |

If it's a reputable online crypto casino, I don't think your account will be restricted because that would be unfair and the casino would get negative trust. Whatever you might win in a good popular casino is incomparable with what they'll lose from other customers if they don't pay you. At least, that's how I see it, but of course I might be wrong, so it's important to hear other opinions on the matter.
So be prepared to undergo examination if you indeed win a lot and often. Make sure you're not breaking any rules (keep in mind that finding a vulnerability of a casino and exploiting it is against the rules, so in this case your account will probably be blocked) and that you're using a good casino (choose one with positive trust on Bitcointalk to be sure).
If it's sports you're interested in, try Sportsbet.io.
if he will stick to the rules by the casino, and play in a reputable site here, he may not get into trouble. thats right! dont make any action that may trigger the site to freeze your account or anything on that matter. and also as much as possible, play in the known bookies here in the forum. if you will encounter any issue, a lot will help your case if you are on the right side of things. because if the casino doesnt want to ruin their image, they wont do anything stupid from their end. |

since you already completed all items in your roadmap for this year, what are your plans for the next couple of years? are you going to publish that also in your website?
and right now, if you want to own a mn, not that expensive as you are only requiring about 2500 of your coins. is that still the same requirement? am basing only from your explorer. but interested if there will be users that will actually use this platform as their storage...

You are right. I dont think there will be any alt coin on erth on the time btc bullish and this year probably btc will create it all time high again. Sometimes. Maybe end of 2021 or maybe in the middle of 2021. Yfi is over prices because DeFi project is still on beta. TBH i'd rather buy some legit ico then buying YFI
thats what im wondering here. ive been checking their yearn website and still in beta. i have the feeling that they will never develop this platform and capitalise in market manipulation here only. there are legit defis like chainlink and you know theres something going on with their devt. here with yfi, investors are blindly participating the trade as there is no working platform here. the fall of this platform is forthcoming imo. if you are a holder, better watch out closely! |

This is just my opinion, that the real airdrop is to give each participant the opportunity to get some free tokens (they say) by completing some easy tasks and at the end of the event they decide to require participants to send ETH gas fees to claim their tokens. So, are these what are called free airdrops?
if you are talking about airdrops before, sending gas fee was a no no. if a project was asking for small amt of eth, they were usually ignored. but nowadays, some still are patronising this kind of airdrop for the hope that they will get profit but i bet most of them are just wasting your time and effort. after wasting your energy doing the tasks required, you have no assurance if you will ever get a valuable coin or token, because as ive seen most of them are trash and not even hitting to any single exchange if i may advise, if you have other talents or skills, better look for other worthwhile activities or tasks here that may generate decent income for you |

Looks like the adoption is slowly taking because according to the OP it was 2013 when the university stared adopting Bitcoin?
Yet the flow is nearly 1 university a year because since 2013 there is only 5 that accepts this as payment.
But of course it is more better than nothing and also while Blockchain is being introduced to the student meaning in the next 10-20 years these student will be the Best way of this community to finally be Welcomed in all areas of businesses because for sure that those student will have their own areas in which Blockchain and crypto will be introduced and pursue.
yes, didnt know that some are already accepting btc long time ago. but yeah, it seemed slow for adoption or maybe we are still missing some schools in the list? i found few of them that are not in OP's list. but i believe, this year 2020, there are additional ones that maybe has not published yet in the media. and because of this pandemic, more then likely some countries which has legal outlook towards bitcoin will encourage their schools and universities to add crypto as part of their payment option FPT University in Vietnam = the article was 3 years ago The Montessori Schools, New York City (since June 2017) La Salle Greenhills, Miriam College, Univ of San Jose Recoletos, Philippines= article posted in Aug 2018 |

like all the others opinion here it's the absence of the marketing, gamblers loves 0% house edge and may try playing on that kind of casinos but you must bring it to them, and the gambling site should be legit and had a good reputation, they don't need great features if they are not payng gamblers and they you are not fair to them.
The problem here is, they think its enough that their 0% House Edge that they don't do advertising, in today's world to be able to get the people attention is to have advertisement, actually even not paid advertising will do since they will be able to advertise in different social media platforms as well here in forum provided they have proofs of them being legal and have no bad records. It's easier to market products now if you have skills in photography or editing as well active chat support in the website it will works. aside from advertisement, do you think players will be attracted to their site? but very true, 0% HE is not the only factor how you can attract bettors. theres more than this. also, i dont like bout not accepting multi txs to the gen addy, you will really have low odds here. so i guess the OP already got the idea why people are not that interested with 0% he gambling platform. its the combination of various features that attracts the player. not the HE alone. |

Why did you provide a link to a crypto casino? This is not like a resource with articles
You're right, I can't even open the web. There is a warning this site is dangerous, there is even a warning that someone is trying to save my password to steal my data. I'm also from Asia but my country doesn't really understand about bitcoin and it seems like there isn't much investment in bitcoin. For China or Japan, I think that is true, but for other Asian countries they seem to be developing recently due to the booming price of bitcoin which continues to rise. can you get a snapshot about the warning coming from the site itself? because when i clicked the OP's link, havent encountered the warning. just to give a heads up for those that may visit the site. bitcasino.io has curacao e-gaming license so i dont know why you are getting a warning signal here. ive been seeing bitcasino posting some of their blogs, so it is one way of promoting also their casino. subtle but it may get some viewers or even players in the process. |

Every cryptocurrency in the market is getting updated regularly. XRP is now into a new token distribution. People are with big expectation as it is found to be a big update. Ethereum on the other side is at the verge of its ETH 2.0 updation. If one is getting updated and other lacks, then we can say the position on coinmarketcap gets replaced. Here the scenario is different and the same doesn't let XRP reach such a big price as stated.
thats a very very big leap for xrp in case. i will not say the price is impossible to reach for xrp because in crypto, everything is possible to happen. however, we need to check the reality here! xrp needs to surpass the $1 first, before we talk about its other upcoming price levels. but surpass eth? i dont think so. even with combined flare airdrop and xrp partnerships will not reach that price level. the usage of eth is wider than xrp. dont get me wrong, i like xrp for transfer or payment purposes, because of the very economical fee and fast transaction you can get from this network but the application of it is not comparable to eth network. |

According to the survey conducted by Mizuho Securities, after Paypal adopted cryptocurrency to its platform, almost 20% of Paypal users have traded using its app. And it was stated on the survey that there has been a remarkable increase of 50% in the use of the Paypal app by PayPal bitcoin traders after beginning to trade bitcoin. More details here: https://crypto.co/technology/almost-20-of-paypal-users-trade-bitcoin-using-the-app/No one is going to believe it, that number is simply too high and since we do not seem to have any indication about the methodology used to conduct the survey then we must be very suspicious about the results, you just need to use your common sense and you'll see that this is nothing more but an announcement to try to make it seem as if there is a huge interest coming from the PayPal user base in using their app to trade bitcoin. And when you add that PayPal is always in control of their funds and that those people cannot really get their bitcoin out of the platform then I think it is very safe to say that those people are not trading bitcoin, they are just trading a bunch of numbers on a screen believing they are trading bitcoin, at least the centralized exchanges that we have allow you to withdraw your coins to a wallet of your own but this is not possible with PayPal. dealing with crypto in paypal is really far from what we actually do in crypto exchanges. the numbers presented during this survey is really not reliable, imo. we dont know where those numbers really come from. but lets be grateful that with this paypal's move, some noncrypto users who are paypal users got interested in checking out crypto. i am more then positive, that if these users learn more about btc or crypto, they will not use paypal's crypto services ever again. so what we can get from this situation - - more crypto users, which is good for the crypto market. thanks to paypal! |

I often see some videos of this where the people are arranging their own track of obstacles and take a video of it. I was actually interested in the game knowing that it will be provably fair and will run on the Ethereum Blockchain. The only thing I am concerned with si the long-term excitement that the players could get when playing this game. The obstacle should always change as it will be boring if they can only see the same tracks over and over again. They can also think of other ideas aside from marbles to make gambling game.
It just wasn't clear from the video how the game itself will run as I was confused whether it will be a live video like the video posted, or an animated game.
it is live video, if you check their site right now, there is a live feed and it will tell you when the race will start. and if you are concerned bout the obstacles, i guess for now you will see the same tracks over and over again. but if the team will receive suggestions from their players, they will create a new one. but right now, lets see if they will attract some bettors here. and hopefully, they will find this forum and create their official thread here. it is better if they have official rep here so users can easily reach out to them |

Some developers quit on their projects because it failed to meet their expectations, every developers have to work on a new use case and it's left for the public to adopt the project, some times it will not receive the type of adoption rates expected, sometimes a total failure so the devs have to exit and work on other use cases
and in most cases, once the dev team collected the money from naive buyers, they disappear without a trace...because thats their main goal, to screw users. and if they are anon team, no one can chase after them because they got away with the money without any identities left behind. so yeah, most dev teams stop because they dont have good intentions in the first place. how many coins have you seen to be pnd in the market? countless, right? and for those who have genuine mission, they still failed because they lack funds to proceed. very few can indeed move forward in crypto space. this is why we are seeing a lot of worthless coins and tokens. |
