In Mexico, the UENI research firm conducted a study, in a field composed of 1287 Mexican microentrepreneurs, that is: supermarkets, restaurants, clothing sales, accessories, among others. In which it was concluded that 67.1% of respondents were unaware of the world of cryptocurrencies. The remaining 32.9% who said they knew the concept of cryptocurrencies, were asked another question, in which they were asked, if they would be willing to accept cryptocurrencies as a method of payment? and the result was that 50.4% of respondents he said no . https://www.criptonoticias.com/negocios/67pc-pequenas-empresas-mexico-desconoce-bitcoin-criptomonedas/What you think? -Why does the population know cryptocurrencies? -What would happen if at least 67.1% of microenterprises accepted Bitcoin as payment methods? -Could it be that there are more countries like Mexico in which the population does not know or fear this new technology? What people usually fear are those currencies that they didn't know how to use or they know that certain currencies but they are not yet ready on how they are going to adapt the vulnerability of it's prices. That is why, 50.4% of those who knows about crypto said that they are not willing to accept crypto currencies. Here in our country, the acceptance is there but it is limited to very few only and I guess it will continue to grow once the other big countries will start to use crypto currencies as their payment options like in supermarket and etc. |

Cryptocurrencies are still a good option to invest in 2020. The market is full of cryptocurrencies, but not all are worth the investment. If you don't know what cryptocurrency is good for you, read our article about top 5 cryptocurrencies to invest in 2020It will be easier if you will just check coinmarketcap and choose the top 5 currencies out there as they are less riskier compare to the currencies that were under them. You don't need to dig much about that currencies as they already proven their use by reaching their current ranks right now. But the Bitcoin dominance is pretty high right now so I suggest that you put more percent to Bitcoin if you would like to invest like 40% is btc and remaining will be divided into four other currencies. |

I am not really into news but as what I have read from your post most of the news are very important and positive towards crypto currencies acceptance. I saw that you only cares about positive news, I have no problem with it but it will be best also if you can share some of the news that are against crypto currencies so we can at least compare whether the anti crypto currencies are growing or not. As I heard that there are other countries that starts banning crypto currencies as of the moment and I would love to check whether what countries are these. |

Hello There!  At one time, I stopped being interested in the altcoin-markets because of the situation there. Famous projects were dropping their bags off to gullible investors to get even more money. Do you think the situation has changed in the year 2020?  Is it safe to trade ERC-20 tokens and is it possible to earn something else? It will always depend on how you are going to do it. If you have patience, like you can wait for the bull market even if it will not happen this year then you can surely earn in the right time. And this time is your chance to grab whatever tokens you would like to stock up but make sure that you stock a tokens that has a less risk like top 50 in coinmarketcap because more than of that is a little bit riskier. Right now that the demand is not yet widespread then it is very easy for big whales to manipulate the price of the market and we can't do a thing of it base on the demand as we don't have the power yet to stop those big whales on what they would like to happen in the market. |

I am bullish for the long run and I have no reason to sell, as the way I see it Bitcoin will become massively accepted and widely used across the globe.
Although, I seriously think that we should be promoting Bitcoin for the tech and not for the price movements.
Talking about the price does not provide anything useful and does not help with people starting using Bitcoin. It only attracts speculators.
What we basically need is wide adoption. The 2016 bull run was extended in 2017 because of the news from two of the greatest Asian economies, South Korea and Japan.
The halving has it's purpose, but is there anything else to wait besides this event?
I think there is something that we don't discuss in the appropriate length and this is the development of the Lightning Network.
With instant transaction speeds and extremely low fees the Lightning Network has the potential to make Bitcoin the dominant method of transactions.
I think this subject should be discussed more and promoted further by influencers to convince everyone to give Bitcoin a chance.
I dream for the day when every merchant, online or physical store, will have the price of Bitcoin tagged next to fiat price and I think it will become reality soon.
If there will be wide adoption and the government will do their best to provide some education about what is bitcoin, how it can help the people around the country, where and when they can use it,how simple it is to use and other important things about bitcoin then we don't need to give too much attention to upcoming halving. But because this kind of scenario is not yet available then it is the reason why many are giving too much attention to upcoming halving as they are hoping that it can change the market situation in where they are hoping that what happened last 2017 will happen again starting this year. |

Yes, I know that there are many coins , and everyone has a favourite. But with the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade close, the move to Proof of Stake and the performance improvements promised , is now the time to get seriously into Ethereum ? I discuss this in the following video , as well as the opportunity it provides : https://youtu.be/O8gTpGu9D_cBy the way , if you forward to 13:15 I also share my equation for getting Bitcoin at a lower price This year 2020 will be the right time for stocking ethereum as there is a big chance that this year is the year of a bull even if there were no upcoming upgrade to ethereum. Right now ethereum still ranks at number two in coinmarketcap and currently at 144$ which is very affordable with a very low risk compare to other currencies that ranks lower to ethereum. |

Qatar is not yet ready as of the moment but time will surely come that they will have no other option but to fully accept crypto currencies especially if it will replace fiat someday. More and more countries are open to crypto currencies right now so we don't need to worry about those countries that are still hesitating in accepting crypto currencies. Let's just hope that Qatar will realize sooner how important crypto currencies is. |

I'm a little relieved entering 2020. Bitcoin has touched $8000. Hopefully a good step for the future. 2020 needs improvement on crypto market. Investors and traders will have new spirit and trust if they find good things this year.
Yeah your right, hopefully we can see a positive comeback this year after the Chinese New year. We need a comeback so the crypto community will not be so boring that only bear is present while bull is still sleeping. If we can start a good comeback this year then most of the investors, project owners and crypto supporters will surely become active again. For traders, I guess whatever is the market condition they can still profit especially if they know what they are doing. |

Have you ever heard a show discussing bitcoin in their segment good or bad, i think this shows that we are already going in the real world for good and there will be no stopping us, even if trump, colbert, and buffet try to contradict what crypto really is , this is really a good sign, since this show in national TV will make people curious about bitcoin, i hope there will be more of this here is the link and see for yourself https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/01/12/late-night-host-exposed-millions-bitcoin/Every exposure will make a significant impact to the bitcoin therefore the more the exposure the more the bitcoin will become popular and the demand will continue to surge. Any TV channel that is talking about crypto currencies or bitcoin will bring a good audience especially if it covered a huge variety of crowd like the national TV. Curiosity will bring the new comers to the world of crypto so we need to welcome them with all of our efforts so they will continue to invest in crypto and not just visit then leave afterwards. We are unstoppable especially if we unite even if there are few that are against us. |

Altcoin is not increasing for so many days. New money is not coming in market.So Always invest in good Top 30 Altcoins for being Safe.
Buy low and sell high so it is our chance now to buy as much as we want especially that the market is almost at the bottom meaning almost all the currencies are very affordable. We can just wait for the right time when we are going to sell it so we need to become very patience if we really want to profit in the future. Greediness will kill us easily, so make sure that you should invest only the money that are extra or your savings. Don't invest the money that you would likely to be needed in the following days or for emergency cases as it will only cause you a problem especially if the market are still down and you really need that money. And the safest to invest are the top 5 currencies, you can just base on coinmarketcap for the rankings. |

It's now 10 years since Bitcoin was created, yet many people are wondering who Satoshi Nakamoto might be. It's still today, where the creator of Bitcoin has hidden his/her identity well from the general public. All attempts in finding who created the world's most popular cryptocurrency have failed so far. But we all know that there's no such thing as 100% anonymity. A slight error in covering tracks, could expose your identity within the mainstream world. Now, imagine if the real Satoshi's identity is found. If he/she is still alive, governments would be on his/her tail to put him/her in jail or even pay a hefty sum of taxes. Once this happens, Bitcoin might fail within the mainstream world. Of course, the community is what makes Bitcoin great. But I'm sure that the reveal of Satoshi's identity will have an influence (either positive or negative) over the cryptocurrency's price and reputation worldwide. What are the odds of Bitcoin's survival once Satoshi is found? Will it continue to operate as is? Or will it fail in the long run? Two things that I think will happen when real Satoshi will be found. First, the government where he is residing will surely protect him and make use of him to continue the development of bitcoin knowing that the bitcoin adaption right now is spreading vastly. Second, the US will surely try to intervene with the real Satoshi identity and they will surely try everything just to stop the bitcoin by giving a TRO or something that is against to bitcoin founder. |

I think that if we talk about mass adoption, it should mean that Bitcoin is largely recognized as a payment method. So I'm talking about the reality where you don't have to look for specific stores to use Bitcoin but can go to your regular ones and use Bitcoin to pay for groceries. I know, scalability. It's indeed a serious problem. Is the Lightning Network the only solution? Is it even a realistic solution?
Here's what I thought about to address the issue of transactions getting confirmed slowly. How about not waiting for them to get confirmed? When a person uses a debit card to pay for food, it's not like the transaction actually get's processed and the money is sent right away to the store. No, this process takes about a day or two, I've learned that about half a year ago when there was a mistake with a transaction. The money is blocked by your bank, and you don't see it anymore, but it's actually still there. So how about accepting that a person paid the moment after this person hit the 'send' button on the screen or something like that? What are the odds of a transaction not getting through eventually (if a person paid a normal transaction fee, of course) and being returned back to the sender's wallet? Is that happening that often that shops would not be able to take those risks?
Now, I realize it won't solve all of the problems, because if there are too many transactions that are being put through like that, the number of unconfirmed transactions will be building up. However, I think it could be a solution for a less significant adoption step or as a temporary measure. What do you think about all that?
That is part of bitcoin disadvantages and I am not sure whether that disadvantages will get any solution as there is no team in Bitcoin already so it stop from what it is right now that is why many projects out there that are claiming that they are superior compare to bitcoin but still the demand focuses on bitcoin and we can't do a thing about it also. For small transactions, bitcoin is not a good choice as you will be paying more to what you are paying in transaction fees only and the speed is very bad as what you have mentioned knowing that the transaction will be stuck if the transaction fees is very low or it will be reverted back to the sender if it cannot goes through. Right now, bitcoin cannot afford to serve that kind of services so it's up to us already whether we still stick in using bitcoin for small transactions or not. |

I don't know if its the right call or not but i just feel like its better to sell my bags of altcoins for bitcoin, most of the altcoins i owned are not top altcoins, mostly new coins from bounties and I've seen coins worth of 2k turn 20$ while holding them, finally i decide to take out the losses and invest in bitcoin, if you are holding any altcoins that aren't good enough do not hesitate to sell for bitcoin to at least make some profits
Yes, that will be the best decision in your side as most of the altcoins that are not listed in at least top 20 are almost struggling right now due to high percentage of bitcoin dominance. Earning a small profit by selling your altcoins is a good choice then invest it to bitcoin as there is a big chance that bitcoin will continue to grow due to it's high demand from the big whales. I am not really fan with bitcoin due to it's high price therefore I prefer the top 2-5 coins to invest as there is a big chance that my little investment will multiply once the market will recover again. |

On a day of largely-stagnant price action in the cryptocurrency market, one major digital asset is moving out of sync with the overall sideways trend. Bitcoin SV traded earlier today at around $116 but, suddenly, pumped to a local high of over $128.
It is not immediately clear what is behind the Bitcoin SV pump. However, there have been some recent developments in the ongoing legal battle between Bitcoin SV proponent and Satoshi Nakamoto claimant Craig Wright and the estate of his former business partner, the late David Kleiman.Click here to read the full newsOkay even if Faketoshi's BSV got pumped recently, I really don't care at all!I am not really convinced about Faketoshi's recent legal development, because I would still not believe about him being the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Yes he can claim it many times, but no one (not even me) would ever believe that he is the real Satoshi. If he is the one, why would he need to create BSV rather than pushing BTC to the next level and adopt it massively? What are your reactions to this one guys? Yeah you're right because they are only playing the games wisely just to fool all of us to make an investment to their coins. We don't know the real identity of satoshi and Craig Wright is using this opportunity to achieve his goal which is to make BSV more popular by claiming that he is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto. Currently BSV ranks #7 in coinmarketcap and it's not a bad position as a little push of it's marketing will make this coin rank up higher. I didn't care about the real identity of Satoshi also but I am hoping that others will not use the title of "Satoshi Nakamoto" just to make a fortune of it. |

What are some good ways to promote, distribute/sell a new coin? Please list some good techniques, so on and so forth. Thanks again.
First thing you should do is to strengthen your team and make sure that your project has a usage that will benefit the users. Next is to widen your marketing plan like engage in different platforms where you can gather most of the investors and supporters. Sample platforms that you should conquer : YouTube, fb,twitter, LinkedIn, discord, telegram, reddit,medium and etc. Lastly make sure to make partnership with the big companies or big whales of possible so your project will start strong. |

A rumor sprung to life earlier on Saturday claiming that Bitcoin was selling for $24,000 per unit in Iran. Apparently, the demand for the benchmark cryptocurrency was skyrocketing in the country in anticipation of a military standoff against the United States.Turns out, while not totally unsubstantiated, the rumor was more of a half-truth arising due to some onlookers overestimating the significance of Iran’s official exchange rate.In reality, the business remains as usual in Iran’s homegrown cryptocurrency space with peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading currently hovering around the $7,000s.Full News here(Not click campaign, just sharing information) Based on https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-selling-for-24-000-per-btc-in-iran-as-us-tensions-escalateAlso the main reason for why there are no such high tansactions from Iran is because they have restricted internet access across the country since November. So as many were saying, no people... Bitcoin is not being exchanged with such high volumes and price in Iran but rather from other countries due to such recent events. It's great that even if Iran is facing to almost war against US, the exchange of bitcoin didn't skyrocket to 24k dollars. Normal exchange of currencies in Iran is a good signal that the exchange is not abusing it's power and they are not using the situation as an excuse to make that crazy conversion rate. Those countries or exchange that is/are giving this crazy conversion rate of 24k dollars per bitcoin is not a good influence in crypto society and if possible they should be stop in order to protect the future of digital payment. |

Putting all my money on bitcoin is more smarter than going for altcoins? I think bitcoin will always surge even if it loses value today, i never think twice about this anymore because in the past if i never switched to altcoin i would have be in big profit today, what do you guys think about my plan? Stupid or 👍
Bitcoin dominance is pretty high up until now which is 68.3% and by using this comparison investing to bitcoin is better than altcoins but we are still in the first quarter of the year so there are still plenty of happenings that will happen in the following months. If you like, you can just divide your investment for example you will put 70% of your investment in bitcoin and the remaining 30% will be in altcoins that you believe will still fight in the following months and continue to increase it's price. All will always depend to your decision, putting all your money in btc is not a bad choice but splitting it is also a good choice for me. |

today I read the news that Iran has warned about "more serious revenge" against the United States. such statements are not some kind of joke and what exactly they can do? I believe that 2020 began very poorly if you look at it from a political point of view. If the disagreements between the US and Iran will continue, this could end badly. How will this news affect the market? can they start to sharply raise bitcoin at the price? if bitcoin will grow fast, then altcoins will be even worse  If Iran will continue their revenge then world war 3 will be near but I am wondering also whether Iran has the power to go against United States of America as US has the most advance weapon and it can even pulverize Iran if they like using the latest weapon that they have. But if Iran got the back of China and Russia then this will surely be a bloody war and this war will surely affect the crypto society in a positive way if in case all the investors will seek refugee in crypto currencies instead of banks. Bitcoin is the most popular right now so there is a big chance that altcoins will be left behind again. |

I sometimes listen to famous crypto youtubers.
But for the most of time, they were not accurate.
Really... How much should i trust them? If there is a good one, please recommend one.
Btw, how many of you guys participating in airdrop event?
Most of airdrop cryptos that i earned kinda become worthless.
I am trying to earn BPX token at Digifinex. I heard that BPX token is issued by an exchange
Then, I guess it is better to earn exchange token, which at least can be used. Right?
You can easily check whether the review of a certain channel is good or not and not all of their reviews are accurate so you should also consider the facts that you need to be resourceful and look for other reviews aside from YouTube. With regards to percentage, I can say that you can trust YouTube like 60% out of 100%. So you can just gather the remaining percent to other review platforms. |

For me i would rather buy more Ripple (XRP) Why? There’s a lot of confusion about this company but if you can separate the fact from fiction, the opportunity becomes clear.
2018 is the year where you’ll see an increasing emphasis on real-world use cases delivering value. In this regard, Ripple is light years ahead of competition.
Products
Let’s start with their products; xCurrent and xRapid (XRP). xCurrent is a banking software which allows banks to transfer value across borders (they may or may not use XRP) via the Ripple network. XRP is the native currency to the network.
Partnerships
Currently, Ripple has partnered with hundreds of banks with its xCurrent product. This doesn’t affect the price because these partners aren’t necessarily using XRP as well. But given XRP is native to xCurrent, it stands to reason that many of these banks will eventually adopt XRP as well.
Unfortunately, many people get stuck on Ripple’s massive success with xCurrent since it doesn’t directly drive up XRP’s price. If you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that Ripple’s success with partnerships isn’t limited to xCurrent.
Opportunity
Ripple is also targeting the global remittance market with xRapid (XRP) and has secured trials with Western Union[1] and Moneygram. Western Union alone moves $80B year [2]and Ripple’s entire market cap is $19B.
Think about that.
Unfortunately, the price is currently dictated by panicky investors who sell any time someone sneezes. XRP is trading around $0.2 and it may move lower in the short term due to the market. It reminds me of the classic Warren Buffet quote, “be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy”.
Institutions are getting into the game and when they do, you’ll see the market change dramatically.
First of all, it is very clear that your post is meant to promote the XRP. So here is my idea also if incase I have $2000 to spend for investment. A wise investor will not put all of it's money in just one basket meaning you need to separate your investment for atleast 3-5 coins/altcoin for this amount in order to lessen the risk of your investment. As the market is still in bear season, the best option for me to buy is the top 4 in coinmarketcap and I will invest 500$ each of it to. 500$ for bitcoin,500$ for ethereum,500$ for xrp and lastly 500$ for tether. |
