Let the market decide the value of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is the best coin out there, then neither BCH nor BSV will be able to negatively impact upon its exchange rates. And the crypto-users will always go for the coins which are more profitable to them. The same can be said about the miners as well. Calls for boycott are never going to work.

What you said is always a possibility, but we can't generalize them all. At least some of the ICOs ask for genuine KYC information, as it is mandatory in those countries where they are based (South Korea is an example). But it is irritating when some campaigns never mention about the KYC in the start and then make that mandatory to receive the rewards.

I am storing most of my altcoins / tokens in exchange wallets and MEW. I know that it is not a very safe option, to hold the coins in exchange wallets. But it is not always practical to install the desktop wallets for all the alts. I have never heard about these opensource multiwallets. To be honest, I am a bit afraid to use them. Can someone confirm that they are 100% reliable?

In the past, I have used credit cards to purchase lottery tickets (MegaMillions, PowerBall, Super EnaLotto.etc). But the sites that I had used never had an option to make the payments in BTC. I will be very happy if the payments can be made in BTC. But at the same time, they should make sure that there will be no legal complications because of that.

Here is my prediction for the playoffs and finals:

Qualifier 1: MI vs CSK: MI win, since CSK is not in great form
Eliminator: DC vs SRH: Win for DC
Qualifier 2: DC vs CSK: Win for DC

Finals: DC vs MI: MI wins the tournament.

Tom Curran also bowled really well. Perhaps the selectors may get unhappy about the performance by Archer, as they had overlooked him for the world cup squad. On top of that Willey's performance was not that great. But they can always justify their choice by saying that ODI is different from T20 and also they can argue that Pakistan is a relatively weak team.

Do you have any proof for this? These guys were merely being involved in fiat-crypto trading. They were not involved in any other criminal activity. They were arrested because Bitcoin is banned in Bangladesh and trading in Bitcoins is a criminal offense. Yes.. they did something that is against the laws. But what can you do if the laws themselves are stupid?

Energy generation is getting more greener these days, with renewable energy sources such as solar energy, tidal energy and wind energy increasing their proportion with every passing year. It is not like fiat energy is environmentally friendly either. Printing all the bank notes and minting the coins requires a lot of paper/pulp and metals.

I really doubt whether this list can be accurate. If you own a huge amount in crypto, then for practical purposes you will try your level best to hide that fact from anyone. Admitting this may attract unwanted attention from the criminals. However, the anonymity will be lost once the holder try to convert his coins to fiat through the exchanges.

You are being too generous. Usually the bounty pool is just 1% to 2% of the total budget. Even if we take the upper limit (2%), just 1% of the tokens will be dumped on average (provided that half of the bounty hunters hold on to their coins). If the prices crash due to the dumping of this 1%, then I would say that project is worthless.

This is also not going to work. The scammers usually don't have account here in BT. So usually they hire someone to post the ANN thread, or create a junior level account. Even if the DT members tag the account, it is not going to affect them. They will just hire someone else or create another account. That's why despite all these investigations, we are still having scams.

I am not going in to an argument to prove PoW is better than PoS or vice-versa. But we have a decentralized, unbiased and free market, and the market conditions, demand and merit will decide which one of these coins will survive. Just because you don't like PoS, it is not fair to kill all such coins (which is not possible for you anyway).

Everything was going right for CSK when Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis were batting. They got out in quick succession and then as usual the middle order started wasting the balls. Dhoni ended up with 10 runs from 12 balls, which is not acceptable in a T20 match. Not very good signals for CSK ahead of the playoff matches.

All the Indian exchanges are closed. A few of the users have registered on exchanges such as Bitfinex and Bitstamp, but most of them are using P2P trading sites such as localbitcoins. But the government is cracking down on the P2P sites as well, by tracing the bank transactions. The risk is always there, in case you want to convert your coins to cash.

After their good showing against England, Ireland are back to their old ways. West Indies is performing really well, considering the fact that more than half of their squad is away in India, playing the IPL. The Irish bowling looks quite clueless, with both the pacers as well as the spinners going for the runs. John Campbell and Shai Hope batting really well, which can present a dilemma to the selectors once Gayle is back.

No one can ever make a living on gambling. That's my opinion and I don't personally know anyone who managed to save a good amount of money by going gambling. And regarding the safety of using Bitcoin for gambling, you need to remember that no method is 100% safe. The risks can come from multiple sources. The first risk is that the gambling site can vanish with your money. And the second one comes from the authorities who can track back your transactions to you, in case gambling is illegal in your country.

Obviously you can't compare cricket with a sport such as Football. For example, football is being played in all the continents by almost all the UN members. To be fair, cricket is also played in more than 80 nations, but in most cases these "national" sides are 100% composed of expat Indian and Pakistani players. You can check cricket teams such as UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia.etc, which don't have a single citizen as a player.

CSK in some trouble against KXIP. Shane Watson failed once again, after wasting a few balls. He scored a total of 258 runs, at an average of 18.42 and a S/R of 124, while playing all the 14 group matches. CSK should seriously think about replacing him for the playoffs. Anyway, I don't think that anyone is going to bid for him during the next round of auctions.

If I were you, I'd be looking for the following features:

1. The ability to export the private key
2. The ability to set the transaction fee by yourself
3. Availability of 2FA
4. Positive reviews from the crypto users
5. Ability to store multiple crypto-currencies
6. Ease of use
7. Friendly UI
8. Mobile friendly
9. Extra protection from hackers
10. Based in a country where the services are legal

(the top 3 are the most important ones).

It is always difficult to predict the big price movements in crypto. But for me, such events seems to be associated with the block reward halving. Back in 2012 we had the first block reward halving. And one year later, we were having the first bull run. The same thing happened after the second block reward halving of 2016. So I would say that we can expect the next one by 2021.
