That depends on the individual country but you see Western countries embrace it and in general controlling countries ban it. If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what will. (they are scared of people having power )

In simple terms you need to add value to the website and post so others can gain something from it. Basically no shitposting and you will be completely fine.

We are trending towards decentralized exchanges but they are only going to work if people get fed up with the status quo and go there. We have a good shot because Bitcoin represents everything the governments hate and despite in a currency but I am not convinced most people will make the switch right away. Eventually they may, but only because they realize they are still being surveyed under the current system, not because it was the right thing to do. As long as it gets done though, I am game for it!

I personally think it will still take a few years to get there and reason for that is because I think people will lag behind the regulation and accept it for a while. Now this squarely hinges on when the regulation is going to come in and how heavy but if it does come in heavy in the next 2 years I would say it takes another 2 years for people to react and shift. It won't happen overnight, but hopefully it will happen eventually.

The system isn't racist, it is the people who control the system that are targeting individuals who are criminals. However, even then this story is going to blow over and soon we won't be discussing criminals. Soon we will be discussing how we can get some farmer across the world $5 dollars in seconds so they can continue their business. That is the power of Bitcoin, don't be fooled by the media tricks.

I don't believe so as on their website it says under accepted currencies only ETH. You could convert your ERC 20 tokens to ETH I am sure and send in that way. Not sure about the MVP part right now myself yet maybe team can clarify this.

Your "crazy" prediction 1.5 years later does not seem so crazy and in fact is just around the corner. I will play devils advocate here and ask why can't both be the future of crypto? Bitcoin will be the payment system and Ethereum will be the smart contract system. They can both co-exist I don't get why it has to be one or the other because it seriously does not have to be.

Generally when everything turns around at once that is a super bullish sign and I am not saying that because I want it to happen. I have witnessed it several times before, and if that is what occurred here I am stoked for the next couple of weeks it means we are almost out of this rout!

I feel more comfortable with a decentralized exchange but there is hardly any volume there right now which makes it tough to try and trade coins especially if you have big volume. If they were the same, I would definitely choose the DEX.

Thanks for the earn strat tips, I have a feeling like we are gonna get a lot more tips but that is a good thing. Sometimes you forget how many ways you can earn in this inudstry, ty and merit for you sir

Everything in life is subject to getting hacked but we can prevent that by decentralizing our systems so that hack happens less often. Another measure we can take is to put passwords and 2FA on every exchange and device because lets face it that doesn't happen as much as it should. Otherwise these hacks wouldn't be happening and we wouldn't be discussing only p2p transactions which is good but not necessary for the system to work.

Hard to believe only this much interest has been garnered but that is okay we are still in pre-sale phase. You can still get 40% off until Feb 12, don't miss your chance to make the world a better place!

In my opinion there is no safest trading website because although there is one, it is impossible to know which one is safest because they are all 99% safe if you ask me. The reason it is 99% is because sometimes they get hacked and these events are truly unpredictable. That is why it is best to always take your funds off an exchange when you can because at any minute any exchange can go under. Remember your keys, your coins. Not your keys, not your coins.

I haven't spent it quite just yet but I plan to spend it on everything in life including but not limited to rent, clothes, entertainment, food, and anything else you can imagine that we use daily . Stoked for the times that lay ahead, it is going to get surreal soon!

For me it is the time frame for which you plan to hold onto the coins. For investing it almost always will be above 3 months (unless dire circumstances) but for trading the time to hold onto the coin could be anywhere from 1 day to 3 months time and that is trading for me.

I will concede the fact that she is correct on the basis that Bitcoin won't replace credit because I think both systems will exist together it won't be either us or them. However the part that I quoted couldn't be more wrong, Bitcoin is a technology and Bitcoin is always subject to upgrade as it is mainly technical. How do people not see this and why do people not understand the thing they are critiquing? Mind baffling stuff!

Good points you make for not hodling during a dip and if any of those were the case I would sell as well. However this dip we are experiencing now I feel like it is almost over some alts are coming out of their holes and I am optimistic for the next week here.

Don't know don't care. Don't post refs please it is strictly against forum rules, not off to a hot start man. Have a read see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0.

God help us all, but more importantly god help the newbies who will probably fail for this get rich quick scheme. It is playing on the lowest persons instincts and it is so wrong, I hope that the people who are involved in such a scam get what they deserve because it is just disgusting behavior .

While it should happen and I agree we should have some over arching regulation regarding ICOs, it need not happen at this point in time. We are very early in the cryptocurrency game and if people can't bother to do some research then I am sorry you don't deserve the rewards. You gotta be willing to put in the work and I don't like when organizations are trying to lessen that despite their best intentions.
