Since the decision to further collapse the crypto-currency market is simply postponed until September, I think that this will negatively affect the poor growth of bitcoin in price. Investors will not be sure that the price of bitcoin after September will not fall, and therefore they are unlikely to buy it. It is logical to wait until September-October and if bitcoin at this time falls, buy it at a low price. And now they can switch to altcoins or invest in ICO.

I think that Russia is not a country where there is an independent and fair justice. Therefore, I do not really hope for a positive result of this lawsuit. It partially affects the policy of the state with respect to the crypto currency, and therefore the judges, I think, will consult the politicians and the decision will be political. We can not yet say exactly how they relate to the prohibition of advertising ICO on Google, but judging by the fact that in Russia prohibit crypto-currency sites, I think that the decision of the Google office in Russia there is only welcome.

Such a war has been going on for a long time. Only it is not obvious and not obvious. This is especially evident now, when the bitcoin course is intentionally omitted using false news. Recently wrote that one of the largest banks in Poland ordered the release of negative false information regarding the crypto currency in social networks for $ 30,000. Bankers do not fight openly, they as always use their money for this.

I try not to join the ICO campaigns, which, under the conditions of accession, do not exclude the conduct of the KYC verification in the future. However, if such campaigns put forward such a requirement after the completion of the ICO, then there is no way out. In this case, it would be foolish to send your personal data to people who can eventually turn out to be scammers. Moreover, these persons do not have the opportunity to conduct a full-fledged verification of the information we send. Therefore, I fully admit they are not sending data to the steps, given that the KYC audit should be conducted against investors, and not those who do not invest in ICO projects.

This is really a very big problem right now. Last year about a third of the ICO projects turned out to be fraudulent. We handed over our personal data and copies of our passports directly to the fraudsters. This is very bad. Scammers collect any of our personal data on the site on which we are anonymous. This is also absurd, since the generosity campaign participants do not invest in ICO projects, and therefore it makes no sense to require them to provide identification information, the meaning of which is to exclude the possible attraction of money obtained illegally. If any authorities authorized these ICO campaigns to conduct KYC, then first of all it was necessary to check these ICO teams to exclude fraud on their part. The need for such a verification, as well as the very regulation of the conduct of the ICO has long been ripe.

Yes, we must admit the obvious. Bitcoin recently did not fulfill its main function as a means of payment, and above all it was related to small-sized payments, in which commission fees almost equaled the amount of transfer. However, bitcoin is restored. After the release of a new version of bitcoin, which is fully supported by SegWit, the main problem with scaling bitcoin and the amount of commission fee is solved. All this goes right back to normal. Many note that bitcoin has become much faster and commission fees are decreasing. So even this time bitcoin did not die. Only while it is unclear why he does not want to grow in price, despite the fact that almost all the reasons that hampered his growth, have disappeared.

I think that there is nothing wrong with such news. If the government of India introduces a tax on profits from operations with bitcoin, and only in cases of receiving significant profits, this is generally good for both users of bitcoins and for the state. In any case, bitcoin will already be legally used in this country, because it was from India that various disturbing news came about this, including the possible prohibition of crypto currency there.

In general, I am positive about this prohibition on the part of google. Such a ban will greatly clean the Internet of fraudulent ads and will help build confidence in the crypto currency. Lately, there have been so many cases of fraud that something had to be done. In any case, after June we'll see how such a ban on ICO project announcements will affect both the ICO rating and the credibility of the crypto currency in general.

This is the correct position. Different types of crypto currency must complement each other in their functionality. One kind of crypto currency, no matter how good it is from different sides, can not perform the various functions that are already performed by the crypto currency, especially many new tokens. Based on this, bitcoin can not be the only digital currency of the future no matter how good it was. In addition, given its significant shortcomings and large volatility, which excludes its use as the main currency in any country.

I do not think that the problem of using electricity for bitcoins is so great for the European Union. In Europe, various projects of renewable energy sources, such as the boundless energy of the sun and wind, are very much being introduced. If we continue to work in this direction, the problem of shortage of electricity will be solved.
In general, this is quite good news that the EU is not going to limit or prohibit the production of bitcoin on its territory. Recently, various EU bodies demonstrate a loyal attitude to the crypto-currency against the backdrop of the European Court's decision on the legality of using crypto currency as a means of payment and certain tax privileges.

This, in principle, pretty good news. South Korea demonstrates a sober approach to the resolution and regulation of ICO projects and I hope that such regulation will be reasonable and conducted on mutually beneficial terms. If such plans come true, then South Korea will become one of the leaders in the ICO, since this market of crypto currency is quite developed there and the ICO projects there have an increased interest of the population.

Unfortunately, there is no absolute security for participation in ICO campaigns for investors. Investing in current ICO projects is rather risky because they are practically not yet controlled and regulated. Everyone can conduct their ICO, and as they collect millions of dollars, it attracts scammers from around the world. Therefore, of the 902 last year's ICO campaigns, about a third of the projects turned out to be fraudulent, and only 46 percent ended unsuccessfully. Even in the part of the remaining projects, not all is well and a significant part of their tokens, in all probability, will leave the market. However, even if there remain 20-30 percent of promising projects, this will also be good. In general, ICO projects are rather risky, but they sometimes bring quite a significant profit.

I do not know who is so shrewd, but I think that such a statement is wrong. Altoquines, in particular tokens, have a wide variety of functions and tasks in various areas of our diverse lives and very much help us, making our life more comfortable and convenient. I think that this direction of development of the crypto currency is very promising. Universal coins of altcoyins also have a good perspective, but they are mainly used as a means of payment. Bitcoin also belongs to universal digital coins and can not perform those specific tasks and functions that are entrusted to altcoyins. Therefore, in bitcoin and altcoyin basically, different tasks of their existence. Bitcoin is quite unique, but to say that it can replace all the other digital coins, it will be wrong. He can not perform their various functions and would not be able to carry them out, even if he could. Therefore, each coin and each token will perform its functions for which they are created and all together they will be able to develop and improve, making our life safer and more comfortable.

I think that now no one will object to the fact that the crypto currency is a completely new era of financial calculations, which a decade and a half ago might seem fantastic. We have not heard about the digital currency in the history of mankind yet, it provides us with new conveniences and opportunities, therefore it can be safely called a new one in the development of monetary relations.

If most states develop a single strategy to prohibit the circulation of crypto currency and simultaneously criminalize the use of the crypto currency, this can put an end to the crypto currency, since the number of users, bypassing all prohibitions, will drop dramatically. Also, there will definitely not be a crypto currency when the Internet as such disappears. The third variant of the development of events is when people will simply lose interest to it for some reason or there will be a more advanced technology or technology that will easily decrypt all codes and keys to crypto currency purses.

If the war is of a local nature, it can cause an increase in the price of the crypto currency in this region, as we saw in the example of the Korean region. However, if the war is global and will affect most countries, I think that the Internet will be disrupted and it will stop working. At the same time, access to the crypto currency will not be possible, they will simply forget about it because people will have other problems and, above all, the problem of normal survival. In the period of global cataclysms, barter comes first in trade, even gold and precious metals may lose. its importance.

In recent months, after the December price record growth, bitcoin has really lost its popularity due to the accumulated deficiencies in it, and the number of its daily transactions has dropped from 400,000 to 200,000. However, on February 26, a new version of Bitcoin 0.16.0 was released, which differs from the previous full support for SegWit, which solves the problem of low scalability of bitcoin by compressing the volume of each transaction. As a result, all the existing shortcomings of bitcoin should soon be eliminated. Therefore, bitcoin can reach the forecasted rate of $ 30,000 this year.

The Russian government demonstrates such diverse and contradictory approaches to the solution of the issue of legalization of the crypto currency, which is often the statements and actions of the authorities are diametrically opposed in their content. Despite Putin's general concept of legalization and strict regulation of the crypto currency in Russia, this bill completely prohibits its circulation on the territory of this country under pain of criminal responsibility. A very tough bill, such draconian methods are not always applied in the most authoritarian states. I hope that this bill will not be adopted as a law by the State Duma of Russia. Although, if the Supreme Court of Russia, considering soon the issue of banning the forum bitcoininfo. ru, will decide on such a ban, it will mean an actual attack on all the crypto-currency and then the adoption of such a bill will be quite real.

All states will sooner or later consider the issue of legalization of the crypto currency. Not to notice its circulation on their territory, they can not, especially since crypto-currency, and especially bitcoin, has a very high cost compared to any national money. However, each state will have its own decision on this issue. We can already see that these decisions are diverse, from full acceptance, as in Japan, to a complete ban, as in Zimbabwe. Each state must go its own way in this matter and this way will be long. What can you do, financial issues do not tolerate hasty decisions.

The European Union, like other states, will in any case regulate the crypto currency. It's unavoidable. However, regulation can be different. Including brought to the point of absurdity. Recently, the German government stated that it recognizes crypto currency as a legitimate means of payment. This decision was made by implementing a specific decision of the European Court of Human Rights in 2015. Considering that for all states that signed the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Man of 1950, a specific decision of the European Court is mandatory, that is, they are obliged to change their national legislation to the specific decisions of this court, I hope that all these states (and their 41 state) will make a similar decision. This decision of the European Court is also interesting because it obliges these states to levy taxes for converting the crypto currency into fiat and vice versa.
