Everyone knows china is a big factor in Crypto
But if they choose in the future to completelg
Close their doors to it there are plenty of other
Users in other countries so it will continue.
I hate how eceryone is thinking the worst at
this early stage in the China news and how
People are including exchanges in the worse
Case scenarios.

I cannot see Amazon or any other mainstream online
Retailer accepting Bitcoin while the price is so volatile.
The only other big name online site with links to Bitcoin
Which i can think of is ETSY but that is down to each
Seller there to accept Bitcoin payments.

Is there any data how the coins of those ICOs performed since the ICO?
How much profit did investors achieve with those coins when they invested?
Does anyone have this performance data? Would be interesting to know...
I bet the returns are impressive...
Those who had the courage to invest in them did very well...
Before I got to the most recent post in this thread I already had the above questions in my mind. Its one thing saying these 30 coins were successful since they achieved their goal of getting funded but for me that is only a part of the success, I would like to see the answers to the questions above |

has this actually happened yet or is it just fake news?
Has anyone got a link apart from cointelegraph to share?
It would be absolutely fantastic if it actually happens
and would offset the negative news surrounding China
and Bitcoin.

Very good article, very matter of fact and accurate
which really is what most of the main stream headlines
have failed to do.
Of course we are in an age of sensationalism so the media
need to attract visitors and subscribers etc.
I particularly like these 3 paragraphs of analysis
the headlines and articles conveniently omit:
Normal volatility. Over the summer, there were 21 days when bitcoin
either went up or went down by more than 5 percent. That’s almost twice
a week! Was bitcoin “crashing” or “soaring” every time? Of course not.
Context. Bitcoin began the year at $600; it’s $4,000 today. In the
context of this growth, what does “tanking” even mean? Bitcoin could
lose 70 percent of its value and still show a 100 percent return on the year.
Bitcoin Cash. The price of bitcoin doesn’t factor in forks, like the free
Bitcoin Cash distribution holders received last month. Bitcoin cash now trades
for $500 per unit, so even if the price of bitcoin falls, holders may still see a gain.
Thanks for posting, we need more level headed and accurate
reporting and article writing like this.

hmmm i think there really is only 1 option and that is Gold.
It is very stable as in it fluctuates very little.
You couldnt go into FIAT as there would be
questions asked assuming we are talking a
large amount of crypto.

I visited the new site, looks really good!
Plenty of information on the project and what it aims to do.
Token pre-sale starts in just over 4 days!

Hey guys, new member here  I've been watching Bitcoin's development since early August this year, and I finally gave in and bought 1 BTC for $4600. I didn't wait because I figured the value could easily break the $5000 barrier at any time, and if the price would suddenly normalize above that level, 1 BTC would be outside my budget. I probably went OCD on the matter and should've waited instead of having to have 1 full BTC, especially since the ICO-related news from China were still pretty recent. Anyway: the 2nd wave of news regarding shutdown of local exchanges hit hours after I made the purchace, and the value plummeted (it's now hovering just above $4000, that's a 13% decrease). Lesson learned I guess. I've been lurking on the forums for a couple of months trying to pick up some sound advice from you guys, and from what I've gathered I should stick with holding for 5-10 years instead of panicking. But honestly, it's tough to ride the lows. Any words of encouragement?  I guess I'm not the only one who've had a nervous start in the world of cryptocurrencies. Anyone else feeling like they "need" to acquire 1 BTC before the train leaves the station for good? Firstly - dont worry because Bitcoin will break through this current negative cloud. There is uncertainty in the market which is driven mostly by misinformation both negative and positive and also by panic and people driving the panic lower to buy more at a lower price. If you feel you can you could always buy another bitcoin at a lower price like $3500 to lower your average outlay at $4050 |

I think it would be positive to see more Multi-wallets available to users. I
would assume your wallet would be a desktop or offline application?
I am using the Exodus wallet which supports a growing number of currency
mostly ERC20 tokens though.

I agree! I read the #1 - the first time Bitcoin died back in 2010 and valued at $0.23. Apart from the "Bitcoin Obituaries" there is a wealth of information on the site and easy to understand. I will be reading over the others, thanks for posting this. |

I dont think "pedal Power" would really cut it
I saw on a property programme where someone
built a self sustaining house. It was electrically
powered by a bank of Submarine Batteries which
were charged by a wind turbine!
Wind and Solar are definitely the way to go as
they provide free power but its the installation
of the hardware that would make it viable or not.

Well here in Europe there are no restrictions in place
so we are feee to get involved in whatever ICO we like.
It will be interesting how China is going to finalise its
stance on ICO,s and i feel there will be other countries
Willing to follow Chinas and the U.S' lead.
From what i have read, chinas ban is temporary...

A good rule is to not put all your investment into one currency
you need to diversify possible wider than just the two Bitcoin and Ethereum.
For me Bitcoin is still more interesting than Ethereum, yes the growth
for Ethereum could possibly be greater short term especially with their
ERC20 token system.

thats a good question, are the cross transaction coins ever collected
by the exchanges? is it possible for them to collect them?
Luckily I have never sent coins to a different blockchain but I am sure
it happens a lot.

Following this thread about the important things to consider for a new crypto project > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2185548.0I was wondering what "real world" useable projects would be ripe for Blockchain adoption? and what useable projects are actually in existence that have been widely adopted [ i'll bet there are not many apart from Bitcoin aside, Ethereum, Ripple, Dash and Monero.] for example I would figure that, copyrighting and trademarking would be perfect for blockchain tech. |

Cryptocurrency or Blockchain technology has the potential to
replace or disrupt big businesses.
I firmly believe Blockchain technology can play a huge role
in changing how things are done online and it can happen
without the general public knowing its Crypto.
So what is important in a project?
Useage - Something which will be adoptable by many, a real
world workable crypto solution or alternative to traditional businesses
Clarity - Making it clear what the project is about
Roadmap - A proper and realistic timeline for each step in the project,
not over-promising and under-delivering
Timing - being able to deliver each stage of the project on time
as per the timeline
Funding - Proper funding structure without somehow coming across
as being a scam project. I mentioned in a previous thread that something
like Kickstarter might work. Funding on a pledge basis!

I would recommend Exodus.io, its a desktop wallet
with support for a growing number of alt currencies
and of course Bitcoin.
You can also trade among the supported currencies
in Exodus via Shapeshift.
With Exodus you control the private keys and can back
up the wallet, something you cannot do with exchange
or online wallets!

I can tell you a lot of people will have sold their bitcoins long before $1 000 000 was reached. They will start selling at $10 000/bitcoin and only the super rich will be buying and selling these bitcoins. People have these fantasies of Bitcoin being valued at $1 000 000, but by that time most of them will not even own bitcoins anymore.
If you link "time" to this statement and you say bitcoin will be valued at $1 000 000 by the year 2090, then this might be worth shit. ^smile^
This makes sense, there will be a lot of people in a position to sell their bitcoin well in advance of $1m but probably not. In a position go get back in. Buying into bitcoin at 4k is one thing but buying in at 40k is anothernand will be totally unrealistic for the majority of users even on bct. |

I wonder if ICO's fundraising can be tailored to meet
new regulations that will be put in place. Maybe
adopt the same mechanism for fundraising that is
similar to the likes of Kickstarter ?
to me there is very little between a crypto ICO and Kcikstarter . . .
