This is already known by many people in the community. There were already many Reddit posts in the past that showed Google trend searches for bitcoin and other cryptocoins to determine increased interest.
They were good for our amusement but they were not taken seriously.

@1Referee. What were the ICOs that were known to pay the 400 bitcoin fee on Binance? I reckon they were asking for 20 bitcoins when someone from the Aeon community inquired about cryptocoin listings.
Also, 400 - 1000 bitcoins might be an exaggeration. It would be impossible for Binance to list anything if that was their asking price hehehe.

yndye. It has only been barely broken, I reckon. Most of the time, we see it come back to $6000 and more after only 2 to 3 days.
Sosnick also did say that the decision on the ETF coming on September 30 might bring it up to $7000.

@game-protect. We are thankful for the concern, but I reckon you are only trying too hard to promote your own website and the referral links of casino sites in them by attacking the competing gambling sites here on bitcointalk.
Also, problems will arise in any gambling site, from inaccesability because of a technical problem to frozen funds because investigations for alleged cheating. I reckon you do not have much experience in gambling using different gambling sites? I do, and I have encountered many problems in withdrawals but all of them were resolved after some delay.

@ruthbabe. The Expanse cofounder is exaggerating, I reckon. But I heard Binance's listing fee is one of the highest among all exchanges in the cryptospace, when a member of the Aeon community inquired for a listing in the exchange.

I'm pessimistic about AEON's price in the long term, say 5 years from now. AEON is insufficiently differentiated from Monero to have much chance of benefiting from it's own network effect.
I'd be in favor of doing something with AEON that Monero won't do, such as sticking with an ASIC-friendly approach.
Agreed, and I suggested that before the ASIC killing hardfork, but the whole community was against centralization and the industrialization of Aeon mining. The hobby miners also did not want their golden goose taken away from them. It was a missed chance for Aeon to secure more hashrate and become the one of the most secure among most altcoins.

More dumps, but now from the longterm holders who are discouraged by the bear market, I reckon. The whales should be happy buying all the cheap coins again hehehe.
But can Aeon follow the same success of Monero? I remember the Monero community was stronger than Aeon in bearish times.

Why would a bitcoin sportsbook or casino site ban people from some countries? Would that not be against bitcoin's core peer to peer nature?
In any case, should Nitrogensports start having a TOR link and start accepting Monero or Aeon?

They chose the wrong time not to be interested hehe. I reckon that the same 41% will be more than interested when the bull enters the market to make them feel the fear of missing out.

I am disappointed that the article did not mention what altcoin lost the most to surrender some of its portion of the market. I reckon the biggest loser would be Ethereum hehehe.

@marx. How can they? The RBI cannot enforce anything legally without setting an unfavorable precedent that might affect their country to be the last adopters of the cryptospace.
It would also negatively make a legal precedent on other message passing apps like Wechat and all text messenging software because cryptocoin platforms are nothing be software for message passing.

That is true. No matter what the differences between the various streams are, it makes sense for us to ensure that faith in the crypto ecosystem stays.
Not entirely true. If it was Roger Ver knowing that there was a critical bug in Bitcoin, he would probably leave it there for ever or try to exploit it himself to boost his Bcash toy. He is emotionally connected to Bcash and it's extremely unhealthy as we can clearly see. He doesn't skip one opportunity to trash talk Bitcoin and he has even been scamming people on top of that. They even "officially" celebrated the rebirth of Bitcoin and gave it the name Bitcoin (BCH). It's disgusting but there isn't much that we can do. Roger has a mission and he has gone all in to accomplish that. Agreed. The bitcoin developers should never help bitcoin cash and should let it die as quickly as possible. But it also showed bitcoin's developers unselfish nature and the selfless concern for the community of the altcoin bcash hehehe. Also, the person that should give the most thanks is Jihan.

Also, do you really want bitcoin to reach a state of stability in its present price?
The main point is it can't. Bitcoin is simply too small. Any deep pocket moves are going to result in volatility. For as long as the marketcap is lower than a couple trillion dollars, volatility will not be reduced to gold's. I expect Bitcoin to move $10,000 up and $10,000 down by the time we are at 6 figures, kind of like what the Berkshire Hathaway type A stock does, but overall % of volatility will be much lower in absolute terms. So we just have to way, the money will come. If the elites want to keep their wealth they must diversify some on Bitcoin. Goldbugs will remain deluded into the fact that gold is pretty much useless in the information age, it's a lost cause I guess. Yes but what I was asking was if you, I assume as a bitcoin holder, want for bitcoin to reach a state of stability in its present price going from $6000 to $8000. Won't it be good for its adoption as a stable currency?

@ralle14. Then it will be good to make the priceboosts more competitive for the more regular Sportsbet users to make them stay, I reckon.
Start the priceboosts as normal, then as the user makes regular bets, improve his boosts and make them more competitive than other sportsbooks.

Good. We as a community should start asking small exchanges to list Aeon. It is easier to maintain the node, it is anonymous enough and it has made more cautious development decisions compared to that of Monero.
Also, Monero's 6 month hardfork cycle might become dangerous as the coin grows in utility.

You can apply this to almost any new technology. It will have been the same for computers, cell phones, debit/credit cards. I remember my father telling me he didn't even have a TV for the first few years of his life. My gran won't or can't use computers. I remember her struggling with her bank card when she first got it. I also remember getting my first computer at about 8 or 9 and they were very expensive. I didn't have a mobile phone until about 12/13. Kids probably have their own laptops and phones from a very early age and just look at all the technology in the smartphone that a 5 year old probably has. It has everything I've just mentioned plus infinitely more. All you need is a phone or tablet to use bitcoin and you're good to go. Many of the kids today are more technically knowledgeable than most adults but over time more adults will become aware of crypto and likely start to use it, but it's still a relatively niche thing and certainly not for everyone.
Agreed. I reckon the people born after the creation of bitcoin, after 2009, will make the difference. Once they become fledging adults, they would already know of the cryptospace as something that is already a part of society, and it would be so ordinary to them.

@smooth. How much bigger is Monero's blockchain versus Aeon's blockchain? I reckon Aeon might be in a better position for the longterm because it is more sustainable to run on dedicated hardware because of the smaller blocks.

@sportsbet.io. About your priceboosts, do you give more of them to regular sportsbettors in your site, or is it a one time use, no refill attribute?
Also, I reckon you should use the priceboost more to promote the site hehehe.

How many people in America have held or is holding bitcoin or other cryptocoins today? I reckon maybe less than 10%, or it might be even less than 6%?
That is similar to the adoption rate of the internet during 1995 - 1998. We should consider ourselves lucky to have found the cryptospace this early hehehe.
