I saw that news. It's painful to see this happening. Imagine what the thief could do with this information. It could be for identity theft, terrorism, hacking, and even blackmailing.
I wish current kyc practices is abolished. There are  ico services that are a bit safe. No website should be  allowed to hold people's documents.

Not at all! I agree with you.

It is going through difficulties just like the general crypto space.
It is an excellent way to fund blockchain projects. Just that there aren't much great projects to fund these days. Great ones will come once in a while though.

I hope that in the future it will be extremely difficult for scams or substandard projects to attempt raising funds.


I wish you all the best!

Satoshi did not raise funds. Bitcoin was mostly developed  by the small community of developers back then and it was mined by the community in a fair manner unlike what is obtainable today.
 It was a true community driven project.

It is surprising really. It's baffling how an inventor who should be proud of his work would hide his identity. unless he knew Bitcoin was going to be a success and provoke the authority. 
So called incredible amounts of Bitcoin owned by him worth little then. He deserves it. Saving takes a lot sacrifice and discipline.

People should still hold what is worth holding,  maybe sell some and hold some.. . it's a matter of principle to be honest, it's a bit fulfilling to hold good project especially in the good old days when people were sure good projects will rise in value.

Such a case of chronic addiction. He probably is a wealthy gamblers who had nothing better spend his money on. I wonder how people like that would handle the situation if they end up not winning.

People actually win. I have heard of credible cases of people winning lots of money. Though I have never been lucky with this things I seen my younger ones win a lot of times while we were young. Maybe because he played more than I did.

Nice thread.
I think the top address [ https://etherscan.io/address/0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b ] is his confirmed stash.
Guess he deserves it? It is part of the things that can motivate developers to hold and work hard for the interest of the coin.

This won't be necessary when cash is banned and when we begin to buy and sell without physical currencies.
No true physical Bitcoin or Bitcoin note exists as far as am I know. They all still depend on Internet/satellites

Imagine if ancient authorities had crack down on gold/precious metal ownership. they would have been seen as evil tyrants, right?     If everyone is lukewarm global crackdown of anything will become a norm in the future.
Well ,I think they will eventually control this things , not ban them totally. It is just matter of time.

You could day trade if you want to be adventurous.  It  riskier to wait for the market to rise In my opinion. Simply buy low and sell high can be rewarding sometimes. It is possible to increase your current by 50 in a week or less.

But remember not to trade with what you cannot afford to lose.

I do not think it is necessary for authorities to be involved  else cryptocurrency will end up being controlled and centralized. Institutions have no business running money. The blockchain is doing this already... Nobody cares if they choose to Regulate the Merchants. Money should exist without interference.

Eos could be a good alternative for this sort of thing. It has lots of active games and betting based Dapps.

No need blaming op for building his stuff on ethereum afterall it is an open blockchain.

Interesting answers. I read long time ago that open source software is better for transparency.
 I am new to this. Hopefully I will play one myself someday.

Just trade with what you can afford to lose and you will be fine. Trading can be fun if you know what you are doing and always stick to the rules. Sometimes we get too comfortable with our achievement that we end up making  costly mistake that leads us to our financial ruin.

This would be interesting considering that Bitcoin has become fairly stable for quite some time now. Will it affect the price positively or negatively.

Well, I guess more governments coming into the scene could further strengthen the stability.

Would love to part of your campaign incase of any available spot.

Few days ago (12th to be precised) I transferred some coins from Binance to Cryptopia because I couldn't trade on Binance anymore then the following day (13th) cryptopia went offline. Something tells me it has been hacked.
