Very Unfortunate my friend. Copycats exist in every areas of our society not just crypto. They usually do not understand the true purpose of what they copy.. Original creators create to solve problems but their motivation is the economic gains. They copy with tiny modifications and zero innovation.

Exactly bro.  Chinese government banned Bitcoin Few weeks ago  and what happened? Lots of Chinese people moved to Localbitcons and other foreign exchanges. The government became the biggest losers... Probably losing millions in tax revenues. 

Russian government banning Cryptocurrency means nothing. Bitcoin wasn't meant to be loved by scared poverty/war- loving orligachs. What is important is that most citizens of the World use Bitcoin. The tool to be independent of government is already built in Bitcoin. So why keep wailing like babies when governments "ban" it.

The best way to evade censorship is to continue to decentralize and not Centralize.

Smh


And this is evidently not true. Peer to peer has worked well on Bitcoin.




How exactly do they intend to regulate Bitcoin by the way?  Invade it, Alter the code and Centralize it.
Well Bitcoin has been very successful without  human intervention. Decentralization is the Future!
Centralization encourages CORRUPTION and SECRECY. It is DARKNESS AND ANTI-NATURE

Better they create their own Centralized Altcoin & let Bitcoin be. Bitcoin isn't meant to be centralized. Decentralization is the future. No more artificial control of Wealth and power.

I believe in the future it would be easy to trust people online without anyone knowing them. Trust is obviously the problem we have now.
To solve this problem we need to understand what makes people to trust traditional companies and find a way to replicate them in virtual World.
* Physical location is one of the main reasons, others would be,
* License from govt,
* Brand's popularity,
* Good costumer services,
* Company's track record &
 * Some sort of funds from companies that act as insurance for customers incase the companies run away with people money.
So you can pretty much solve the virtual world trust issues If you can figure out how to replicate those on the Internet even without anybody (not even the govt) knowing a company.



Most Companies will be existing in Virtual World anyway. Would you stop them from doing so if they are unable to obtain licenses from their governments whereas you can request for some kind of credible/reliable proofs that only exist online?


 

Am obsessed with the idea of having a new Physical or Virtual Country with Bitcoin as national currency somewhere on International Water or the Internet. Stuff like  biometric registration, voting, and other types of data collection  will be on open Blockchain. The new country would by far be the most transparent and sustainable country on the planet. Software that runs it will be open source.
The new Country would be programned to run automatically, with little human intervention. for instance:  if you want some homes, just register online,pay and the home will be yours. If you want to be a leader, just apply, computer algorithm will prune down the list of applicants on merit. The final list will go for National elections which will be decided by citizens. Leadership in the country will be somewhat ceremonial since there would be little need for human leadership as most things are automated.

Wonder if this is legal(building on International Water by anyone) and whether other countries would be allowed to trade with the new country.

Knew this would happen. This was their intention all along. They want to hijack Blockchain/Bitcoin by all means. The real Satoshi whereabout is known by them. I think I may know why they don't want to use him to patent the technology.k Blockchain/Bitcoin by all means. The real Satoshi whereabout is known by them.

Probably been held (house arrest) against his wish, Quietly withdrew to avoid being harassed by security agents or he simply withdrew to keep his invention safe.
Very possible that the former is the case.

People need to stop disclosing their identities in hostile & lawless countries. Sometimes I wonder what wrong with people.
Why don't you research about an environment and probably find ways to protect your yourself before starting a harmless business there.

Switzerland has always been an openminded country. The country don't resist positive changes like those who resist and cheat later to catch up. .
No need to the beg for mass adoption by the way. The inventors of toothbrush never begged anyone to use toothbrush.

Is moving from ASICs to GPU even possible? If yes, why on earth are ASICs even allowed to flourish. I always thought that graduation to mining with ASICs was just due to difficulty issue and is bound to happen to any crypto.
Wouldn't this lead to Centralization or was the whole thing done deliberately?
Man,the crypto World is becoming too weird these days

Why not bro? As long as the laws allow it. Without taxes many governments will go broke and societies will literally collapse.

Just wish paying taxes are somewhat automated in Cryptocurrency World without government involvement.

By the way Bitcoin users are taxed directly or indirectly by their governments. Have never exchange my Bitcoin for Fiat without being taxed.

Developers probably waiting for other upgrades like Lightening Network to happen before implementing a smart contract?

First time on your campaign sir. Thanks for the opportunity!

Guys what do you think?

 Some forum moderators should be selected & paid mandatory fees by ICO owners to thoroughly review ICOs before fully letting them run advertisements and campaigns on the forum.
Reviews can run concurrently with their campaigns and advertisments and could take between 3 days to 2week to be completed depending on size of  projects.
Once a project is found fraudulent its ad and campaign would be suspended or terminated with absolutely no refunds. Also, funds collected by the project managers (which I assume will be escrowed) would be returned to owners if projects get terminated.



Preventing abuse

Problem now is how to make sure this isn't abused by either the reviewers or the Project owners.
The Review Process should be transparent and open to all forum users see but non reviewers won't be allowed to post.   A Review Section could be added to the forum for the selected moderators to create threads and make Reviews.



Things to Review

* Verify if ALL their claims are true. Verification of things like pictures of contributors, claims about not Pre-mining, project originality etc. No need to punish project owners if they prefer to be anonymous or for not including contributors...all that is needed are projects that are good and unique .

ICO has since been concluded—August precisely.

ICO was opened to few investors by the way. Owners said it was for only  "Angelic Investors" lol.   So you and I would not have qualified even if we had our funds ready.

Loads of interesting projects on kickico website. There are some Centralized aspects of kickico that might be abused in the future.
Wonder how they plan to draw in lots of traffic from diverse locations like Bitcointalk has creatively done. This is just why I hardly consider kickico when mentioning projects with good potentials.
Project may end up failing if owner doesn't address the traffic part.

So why would they want Core developers and Blockstream fired ? are we now in some kind of autocratic rule? And Isn't this a pure sign of desperation?  So they basically want to solve the Centralization problem by cutting in size ( sacking ) the number of developers? Interesting.
As regards to the 100GB per year increase , I think this estimation might fail at some point. A big change in BitcoinBlockchain structure or tech could cause a leap in adoption rate.

Putting all eggs in one basket will always be risky my friend.
It's even risky to put all your fund in the safest investment.

Read some books or articles on Investment Diversification. You will be glad you did.
