I think those who are into cryptocurrency, that is living in Ireland will now move to a different country, it is true thay taxes helps build bridges and structures, but a social responsibilty, I doubt it, creation of taxes was made way back even before the romans took over, this is just collecting money from the poor to make the rich get richer, and if we started to pay taxes, what is the sense of using decentralized currency if we are just going to give it away to the government, and there is no assurance that they will only take coins for what they are worth, if they decided that they will take an equivalent of .01 btc from you, at today's value, no one would agree, and why would they give out their names and all their assets, where will be the anonymity?

Speaking on the future of central banking, Mark Carney says the primary role of banks is maintain trust in money. As for cryptocurrencies, a Bank of England-backed coin is, for now, not being seriously considered because the current volatility inherent in the coins prevent them from being a secure medium of exchange.

Google to Ban ICO and Crypto Ads Starting In June. For this reason I have a question.
What AdNetworks are alternative to GoogleAdWords for ICO projects?

1. First one was 6th February. (BTC around $5800 and market cap around 280b)
2.Second one was around April first week. (BTC around $6500 andmarket cap around 255b)
3. Third one "now". I think this is another opportunity who missed last two. I think we can see the price around ($6800 to $7100, just my opinion)

Good news that, we are making lower high each of these stages. One day chart shows we do not have much momentum to deep much lower.

What is going on to the market? The prices had gone down sharply, especially Etherium at -12.47% and Bitcoin at -8.14% and there seems no stop to that decrease, as for now. Any idea what could have happened? Some news affected the rate, or maybe it's just the overall market mood. 

P.S. Maybe it has nothing to do with that, but Facebook shares grew quite a lot in the recent 48 hours.

I believe that we live in the first generation capable of answering the biggest question, "what are we"? And the "why"?

The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with this concept, but we seem unconcerned.

Blockchain is remarkable because it conveys what is possible when intelligent people work towards a cumulative goal. We live in the age of information and technology -- knowledge is available, and mankind is now capable of so much more than ever before. However, we waste so much of our ability chasing money. If we were to work together to discover the reasons for life, perhaps we could understand it.

I dont want to die without knowing what this is/was. There are tons of resources available online, there are scientists, the LHC, preachers, etc -- but the truth remains, that nobody really knows. If we can understand it, perhaps we can control it. If we can communicate with our creator -- perhaps we can understand why. Perhaps we can reason, understand why, understand how to evolve, defeat pain/illness/death.

There's no point trading something that doesn't have a purpose.

But Bitcoin does have a purpose: transfer. The most common type of transfer is international: either to avoid fees, capital controls or economic sanctions. Without that demand, there would be no multi-billion dollar monetary base, and Bitcoin would be just a speculative bubble that died a long time ago.
