Guys, what do you think about today’s situation? A lot of good ICOs can’t list on huge exchanges, therefore investors can’t get profit. Idk why but today listing is a very hard process. I invested in sparkster ICO and they can’t list already for 6 month, ridiculous! What do you think?
I think they don't want to list their coin in such bear market, they are waiting for a good time to listing their token/coin in the market. But if sparkster is a very good project, they will survive if they listing on the market even though the market is still bad. I think it is not just sparkster, but there are some ICOs doesn't want to list their token for now.

In future if bitcoin is allowed in countries around the world and most online based companies will start to allow bitcoin as their payment currency/gateway/exchange. But what do you think if we would be allowed to transfer our money to our bitcoin wallet from our bank accounts like PayPal does? Will it be a good thing for banks and us?
im afraid that if bitcoin connected to banks, bitcoin will become centralized and not decentralized anymore. In the first place, why we still need banks ? Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can operating without fiat money if it massive adopted by peoples in the world.

For me, i prefer to using single wallet but very secure like hardwallet than using many exchange / other wallets. Using wallet on the exchange will not make your coins more secure, there were some problems in several exchanges too. Use hardwallet, but never expose it's key or seed, and buy it from the most reliable seller.

Hello guys, hope you are doing well ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) With the rise of ICOs and new projects working on Decentralized exchanges (DEX) and raising millions, I'm wondered how people in the crypto community perceive it and why a lot prefers DEX rather than centralized exchanges. Indeed we have seen many interesting projects with hype, such as IDEX, Waves or Stellar, and some looks really promising like NEONEX. Decentralized Vs Centralized exchanges: Where do you stand? And why? Both decentralized and centralized exchange have their own advantages and disadvantages. One of advantages of decentralized exchange is, the volume most of them are real, not fake. The advantage of centralized exchange is they are very fast updating the order books. For example if you look binance, their order book is changing very fast and they can handle many transcactions.

But hey, maybe google don't want any scam or fraud projects advertise on their platform. If some unverified companies advertising on google, investors will have higher chance to getting scammed because investing on an unverified company. Regulation maybe required to filter any fraud projects and profiting investors.

Bitcoin fees are higher than any other coin. This is due to a lack of scalability and thus high mining fees, which also effects transaction speeds. Ethereum and LiteCoin have much lower fees and send much faster. XRP is cheaper and faster than that. IOTA is free but their wallet is not quite up to par yet. This market is still very young and growing. Eventually these issues will be worked out. But the great thing about competition is that you can choose which method you want to use. And if you’d rather stay in the fiat world you’re free to do that as well.
There are many coins which have faster speed and lower fees than bitcoin indeed. But i think we need liquidity and volumes. A new coin usually faster and cheap, but the volume still low. That's why peoples prefer to use existing coins with a big volumes like btc, eth, xrp, etc.

Because bitcoin is the main coin of cryptocurrency. Peoples trusted bitcoin for long time. It is not easy to trust a new coin, so peoples doesn't want to risk their money on other coins than bitcoin. But bitcoin still need to develop the speed (now lightning network is still developing) so peoples can more adopt it on their daily transactions.

is there any difference, are they one and the same? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Well, actually staking is mining too, but using a different method. If you are mining with devices such as ASICs or GPUs or CPUs, then you mining with Proof of Work (PoW Mining). If you staking, then you are mining with Proof of Stake (PoS Mining). Although they both mining, but there are some differences on them, not same.

So, here is a record from LATEST TRANSACTIONS in my waves wallet at https://waveswallet.io/Date: 10/22/2018 Type: Incoming Mass Payment NAME: Bitcoin RECIPIENT: n/a FEE: 0.051 WAVES UNITS: 0.00011680 However, when I go to my portfolio in the same wallet, it shows 0.0000408 bitcoin. How come my total bitcoin is less than what is arriving? I dont where the bitcoin is coming from. On waves network, there are some tokens. One of them is bitcoin token. You can change the bitcoin token with a real bitcoin on exchange. Maybe there was someone who send you a bitcoin token, but i still don't know why it shows only 0.0000408 bitcoin on your balance. But it is weird that you don't know where is the bitcoin came from.

Money is what the society accepts to be money. Human history has seen so many transformations when it comes to the subject of money.From barter trade to fiat money and now digital currency. But some nations are so rigid to change.well they will all regret soon because no country can stop cryptocurrency.
I believe when we brave enough to change, we will move to a better world. Adopting cryptocurrency in country maybe not easy, but someday peoples will be able to use crypto freely in their country. All nations have regulations, maybe they still have not find the best regulation for crypto. The time will tell.

I have a vivid discussion with my friends lately. They say that one day people will forget what cash is and they will start use card only. Then the era of the changed and innovated cryptocurrency world comes, and we will stop using money and switch on crypto coins only. They say it might take twenty or thirty years, maybe longer, but it is a sure thing to happen, they have no doubts about it. I am not so sure... well, people might give up using cash as it is not that convenient, but giving up money as whole? I really really doubt it, it seems so impossible for me. What do you think? Maybe we will start using something brand new, neither cash nor cards? What is the future of the cryptocurrency world, anyway? Will it die in fifty, sixty years or it is going to be a thing that will live forever? Let's dream for a while ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Actually, human was begin with no cash in their trading system. We used goods to trades goods long time ago. Money was created to make our trading easier. After paper money, comes digital money. And now, bitcoin was created as a digital currency. So i think it wont be impossible for us, to no longer use money anymore in the future.

As I recently analyzed the market of Etherium - I was so shocked about its continuous trade-off in the market. And I found out that this is not for short-term investment but rather it`s for long-term. I am just really fascinated about the changes of crypto price in the market and I want to share my opinion with the community of this forum. So far, the market of ETH is at its bearish period but it doesn`t mean, it will not stand up the current price. Obviously, if people will again start to buy etherium even for a period of 2 to 3 straight bulk-buys, well, the price will become bullish again. However, Etherium is not advisable for short-term and day-trading activity - it is for long-term perspective. Actually the ETH price is on the downward now and the sign of recovering is still unseen. But crypto is very volatile, no need to be shocked if the price difference is very big compare with the past months price. I am agree with you, ETH wont give short time profit, it is for long time.

It has been a long Bear year. Bitcoin went down by $1000 in a matter of minutes 2 days ago. Ethereum is dying. What is going on?
Even now ETH is below $200, it is about $190 in coinmarketcap now. The bear market seems won't end in this year. There are few uncertainty in the cryptocurrency for now, one of them is regarding the SEC decision about btc etf. I wonder what will be happening if SEC accept it.

Some reason must be exist behind the creation of bitcoin. In the bitcoin whitepaper, satoshi want to make some peer to peer currency, that is bitcoin. if we using fiat currency to send money to the recipient, we need banks to do it. If we use credit card, we need the credit card company. But if we using cryptocurrency, we can directly send money to our the recipient.

Today I read this article..... https://www.ccn.com/bitcoins-electricity-usage-could-power-all-of-austria-in-the-future/It says in 2018 Bitcoin mining may consume 0.5% of world’s electricity in 2018. I think this is because the mechanism "PoW" of Bitcoin. It costs a lot of power. And it looks like this statistics only includes Bitcoin, but there are still other coins can be mined. I am sure for some people this is not environment-friendly and this could be used as the reason to restrict Bitcoin. Will this affect the future of Bitcoin? or will there be any new energy-saving mining method for Bitcoin or other coins? How do you think about this? I think bitcoin mining power consumption won't increased forever because when more peoples join to mining btc, the difficulty of bitcoin mining will rising. If the mining difficult rising, the rewards for miners will be lower. If the rewards keep lowering, then many peoples will stop mining and the power consumption will decrease.

I will ask you which one is the most beneficial of these two things? what will you choose? and explain why you chose it. who knows it will give input to everyone who reads. if I myself might be a bounty can be profitable and maybe the results of the bounty will lead to trading. What is your opinion? share your experience here
I don't think doing many bounties will profitable for now because the market condition is not good. You can trading if you have money to start. But when you just begin your trading, maybe you can use for small amount of money first to know about the market on several exchanges and the fees.

I see alot of altcoins and tokens been introduced into the market every day and I keep wondering if that is how this industry will keep growing. The number of altcoins does not translate to increase in the over all market capitalization of the cryptocurrencies market and it that means that some of the coins we currently have in the market is not needed!
I think in 2017, there were many altcoins created more than this year. Peoples have known there are many scam coins created, so they don't buy the new coins easily anymore. There are many altcoins, but the one with a good project will be surviving from time to time.

I was just thinking and imagining the bull run that happen toward the end of last year when the crypto market became a cake of enjoyment for everyone. The story is on the contrary now. I am wondering and disturbed that can it ever happen again? My wallet coins are reducing in value daily. I am not completely sure if it can happen again.... somehow I still have little believe it may. Do you think it will happen again?
I think it will be happening again, bull market is just a correction after bear market like currently. But we cannot know when the next bull will be occurring, as long peoples are using cryptocurrency, the bear and bull market will always exist.

Too many coins out there, If you have 10 Bitcoin to invest in altcoins, what will be your split? I think if i have 10 bitcoin in my wallet, i don't want to invest on altcoins. Just keep holding my bitcoin because bitcoin more stable than other coins. If you want to buy altcoins, you need to make sure about the coin project, whether it is a good project or no. You will wasting your money if the coin cannot survive in the future. Better safe than sorry.
