Altcoins are good alternatives for e-commerce too. Some altcoins such as XRP are good coin for instant transactions. It processed faster than Bitcoin and charges lower fee. The main reason why people would prefer Bitcoin still is because of its integrity, security, and volume of its holders/traders.

We cannot calculate the exact people who are using cryptocurrency for commerce, but in my own analyzation, most of them are using it for commerce we they are actually using their own crypto to support particular projects and ICO. We actually call it e-commerce because using cryptocurrency since it is digital money we are using it to electronic commerce to purchase goods or support a particular campaign by investing because we are purchasing also to them. In terms of using crypto, I can say that it is way faster than any transaction physically since the internet is being used.

That is right to me, it is insane to get rid of emotion, and if we liken it to real life emotion, we will be nothing but a heartless human being which is not a good thing. For trading, I understand that emotion sometimes do cause lots of damages, but at the same time too, it has its own advantage too like one of the one you just mentioned too out of many.

We need to only learn to control our emotion, learn to apply it where necessary and then remove it where it is not necessary. In trading though, emotion is usually what causes people to fall victims of panic sell and also victim of FOMO, but no matter how much we think we have killed our mention, you see those two things is not really easy to deal with, we just have to try our best in managing it and leaving the rest to God.

centralized exchange / ICO / IEO must follow government regulations. for a security and safeguard member assets. then they must provide valid data to the government to prevent fraud. I think the benefits are many, if fraud occurs. someone can report that. but basically crypto is decentralized, privacy, anonymous so that it does not require personal data. I think using or not using KYC is the same. but to make real money, KYC is needed.

First of all, cryptocurrencies =/= blockchain, or blockchain =/= Bitcoin. There are countries where blockchain is much appreciated even if Bitcoin is not. Even a good number of banks are appreciating the blockchain technology, even using them, but they are not in favor of the likes of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In my local setting, a few banks are already playing with blockchain but a mere mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency when opening an account could be enough for your application to get rejected.

1. patient is good for trader. they no need to rush, when buy or sell their coin. sometimes people will follow the other people because their emotion to weak.
2. money management is the best thing you should know. best trader can manage, how much they spend their money in every opportunity, how much they save their money.
3. this is important, to not lose your hope. every people hope needed to apply expectations, increase success.

I don't worry or scare to see the market goes down because I believe that is temporary and it's normal to see that is happening. We cannot expect to see bitcoin price or altcoin price at the high price every time, but there will be a time for bitcoin and altcoin to go down, and that is what we see now. We need to be patient, hold your bitcoin while you will see bitcoin will be back to the high price. This is our chance to buy bitcoin and if you have money, don't miss this discount time because it will hard to see this price in the future.

Everything that sounds too good to be true it's suspicious, start with that. Among so many projects and opportunities sometimes it's hard to decide what to choose and what might be a scam but always check every information you can and try to do background check, internet can help you with that. Don't be tempted with promise of high profit, that is very often a trap.

Everyone already knows that the risks involved is that you can lose your money. If you're lucky you will be able to make lots of money. Anyone who is investing in cryptocurrency should always be aware of the risks that are involved.

When I started cryptocurrency I was never aware that Bitcoin can be really volatile and I was using a Xapo wallet then and the price if Bitcoin was $250 or so. So, I received some bitcoins from someone and left it in my Xapo wallet with plans to sell it the next day. The next day I opened the wallet and logged in and realized that the price dropped down to $240+.

I contacted support and questioned them about what happened to the money and they told me that that's how cryptocurrency is, that your money can go down at any time. Don't blame me for it, I never knew that cryptocurrency is something volatile. I was looking for a payment method to use and I searched on Google and Bitcoin came and I checked and it was available in my country, I didn't take out time to research more about it since people said it was legit. It was after this incident that I decided to do further research on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

There had come many ICOs in 2017 and a good number of STOs in 2018 and many IEOs in 2019 but hardly a few have made it to 'relatively better than others' list.
I wonder why haven't there come potential coins like ether. The only project that looked promising to me this year was bittorrent which was lauched on binance launchpad.
But even that is not going so well these days.

Is the world out of ideas or solutions?

Consider also that the person behind this two proposals have different state from their respective countries. china's coin was proposed by the president itself while Libra was introduced by facebook president and being back up by some other businesses behind. It's not a surprised that China's proposed crypto will be much quicker to launch as like what you have said, the government itself who are aiming for it to be available and useful while the Libra coin have difficulty to convince the congress.
