China? The country that tries to control what web users can do online? The one that blocks many websites to be used? China, the one that was baning ICOs not long ago? You think China is up to create a cryptocurrency to let users do what they want?
Do not know why the post title is written like that but OP means satoshi is from China which could be possible but if it is the case then he does not live there anymore. China is a big enclosure for everything related to cryptocurrency.

Yuan stable coin is a good idea that will revive trading in Chinese exchanges and will boost cryptocurrencies again especially if people could use that coin in the daily life which is likely to take place because of the Chinese regimen ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Personally I check the price from time to time especially at the end of the day. In the morning I tend to see lower price. Of course this depends from the geographical location of the user but if you are just holding for the long run then simply check the price biweekly.

Roger Ver is trying to open Fakebitcoin.com exchange. Such a good news for many future hacked newbies. Faking Bitcoin then faking an exchange, just wow ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

This is my first and only account way back 2017 and look's like there are so many changes around here in bitcointalk.org. Just wondering if there are possibility to have some merit on this section, cause I read a while ago that you need merit to rank up. Since I want to participate on some bounty campaign here in altcoins section, I need to rank up first with activity and merit of course. But it look's hard and the smerit is limited specially if you have member below account. What is the most effective way to earn it? Is there any shortcut for that price? Well, this is a challenge for me since I'm new on this league, but I will try it for such a good reason. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) Do not try to cheat, you will be banned. Instead, try to talk outside of the alternate cryptocurrency board. Merit earned outside of this section is way more important in quantity.

I do not understand why everyone is panicking. The only losers are the ones who believed Bitcoin will never rise again. From few pennies to Mt. Gox's tragedy to the fall from $600 to $200 and so on. Those who sold at deap are crying tears.

Segwit addresses are already taking popularity months ago. Lightning network which is not discussed here is also very important to consider although it is still in development.

If you are decided to take risks and understand crypto you can inves. Never buy btc if you are not ready to lose so invest what you cam afford.
We were asking few years ago if we should buy bitcoin at $200 and took the risk then we asked the same question at $500 $1.000 $3.000 $5.000 and so on.

South China Morning PostAn argument between staff at a cashless supermarket in northern China and an elderly man who did not know how to use his smartphone to buy a bunch of grapes has revived calls for help for those left behind in the digital economy. The 67-year-old man, identified only by his surname Xie, tried to use cash to buy the fruit at a supermarket in Jixi, Heilongjiang province, on Sunday, video news site Pear Video reported. Checkout workers rejected the money and insisted that he use his phone to pay via either WeChat Pay or Alipay, prompting the argument, according to the video. Alipay is owned by Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post. “I’ll leave if you don’t take the cash,” Xie said in the clip. “Well, leave if you can,” the cashier replied. As China goes increasingly cashless, PBOC says cash payment is still alive Xie took the grapes and approached the door but was stopped by security guards. “I know it’s not right to leave without paying,” Xie said. “But I have real yuan in my hands. It’s not fake money. Why are you humiliating this old man for not knowing how to use WeChat?” A security guard later helped Xie process the payment with cash, the report said. Sick story. Payments using a cashless method should be encouraged by discounts...but not imposed as the unique method of payments. Till there is cash printed and circulating, you cannot impose people to not using it. Back to cryptocurrencies, it should also be encouraged ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

These people are aiming for short-term profits, usually in fiat currency.
Best advice is that you aim for long-term, and stop checking the price every day.
It might be a useful tactic for altcoins and tokens supporters, but for bitcoin seriously ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Bitcoin will never disappear till the Internet is working. Long-term holding is good but the best option is to sell whenever it is high and buy with your profit whenever it is low.

if you aren't using your own money to gamble and you take home the win, especially if the gambling game is based on luck and not sports betting something like that, like lottery only one winner while there are millions of people trying to win it in hopes to be rich.
And where the money will come from ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Making a big profit from faucets is unlikely to happen. Loosing your dad money is not cool and will get the gambler kicked from the house ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Lottery is pure hasard and the worst thing to do ever even if you picked almost all the sites, there is a risk of loosing it all.

Generally the bitcoin price goes down in the summer then rise at the end of the year. The last year was so good for cryptocurrencies and nothing is guaranteed this year however I expect to pass $10k in December.

The first point is this section is about economy related to bitcoin and not a general discussion. So, for the cryptocurrencies in general, Trump did not attack or try to ban it at least which is not bad for someone like him. Now talking about economy in general, his rude attitude toward other nations will make the US more and more isolated. The trade war will never benefit ordinary people, it will just benefit some billionaires who own steel and aluminum factories. Even the simple worker who is recruited recently in those factories will have to pay more for goods that used to be cheap in the past. Thanks to trade war, few hundreds will get a job and millions will have to pay more...

If something should be learned in your life when talking about Bitcoin is the word "HODL". If you understand what this word means then you don't have to worry anymore ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Stable coins are essential in an unstable markets. Like when local currencies are devalued people switch to gold or anything valuable that remains more stable. For cryptocurrencies, stable coins act as a valuable alternative to hide your assets until the next move of trade.

nowadays there are so many exchanges in circulation, if we look at some of reviews, there are already thousands of exchanges, I want to ask you all, what are the best 3 new exchanges in 2018?
Three popular exchanges of this year are: i) Coinbase ii) LocalBitcoins & iii) GDAX Are you aware that Coinbase is GDAX? And both are PayPal like wallet. The money stored there aren't yours since you cannot control the private keys....

The main problem for many countries is the devaluation of their local currencies comparing to USD essentially which worsen the economy especially if most of goods are imported. Bitcoin is a good and relatively stable investment if the price keeps at this level.

I guess the reason why bitcoin has a stable price is because miners are mining sometimes or even stop mining at all. The supply of coins freeze and the price would definitely freeze to. Correct me if im wrong but i really believe mining and the price are linked. If one stop moving then the other one will follow.
The mining process didn't stop and will not in the near future. What make the price relatively stable is the supply equal to demand. If the mining activity will cease then a new era for bitcoin will start.

Ethereum, as a platform, has more use case compared to Mother BTC. It is still relevant as ICO's still use it to tokenize their ICO from the start.
Bitcoin is unique and the other altcoins are almost modified clones with few different features. What makes Ethereum an exception is the smart contracts and to be a big and trusted enough plateform for tokens. The price drops doesn't mean ETH is suffering but this does not neither mean it does not require some updates ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yahoo Japan is a very different company from Yahoo Global. In both administrative and corporate matters. That was clear when Yahoo was sold. And the main thing is that Yahoo Japan belongs to SoftBank and Altaba. SoftBank is a giant on the internet. It has participation in a hundred companies including Uber, Cruiser and several internet sales companies. Altaba has a very large slice in Alibaba. One of the largest commerce sites in the world. This for me is much more than a move from an internet portal. It is a movement of large conglomerates filling a potential in cryptocurrencies as a means of payment. And opening the possibility of its adoption by several companies. SoftBankAltabaNice analysis but even if Yahoo Japan is a different company, it stills has the name of Yahoo which is a big company and a trusted enough one. In addition, this will make other big companies get more interested in cryptocurrencies ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
