The mean reason to buy altcoins is to trade and make big profit , some coins bought at the right moment can give double or triple the benefits of the investment, some even multiply their value by 10 in a few days. Having a much lower value is easier than a sudden rise in price produces a high percentage of profit. For example, a coin that is worth a dollar, if value rises to five dollars multiplies the amount invested by five.

There are already some Bureau De Change in these cities, in these establishments people change currencies, it would be easier for these sites to accept bitcoin as another currency to exchange.

If I understood correctly the news is that users instead of sending their money from the bank to Coinbase and wait a couple of days until they arrive they can directly connect the bank account with the Coinbase account and make the purchase instantly. It is a faster way to do it but users should also be more careful about their safety.

The really novelty, I do not know if we will see it soon, would be that a bank gave the option to make an deposit into your account in bitcoin and change it directly to local currency or do the process in reverse, I don´t know if we will see this over time.

I also think that this will happen and I also think they will find new ways to integrate bitcoin and blockchain to other technological advances.

In adidtion to this bitcoin is not the most anonymous coin, there are some altcoins whose trial could be much harder or even impossible to track. They chose bitcoin because is more popular and easy to get but they could easily require a ramson in monero, for example.

This will depend on the investors. When the token reaches the exchanges what they have to do is put high sales orders, quite above the ICO price. This will make the buy orders higher. The token supply will be lower every month so the value and price of the tokens should rise progressively each month.

I don´t think so. If anything, it could be a little price decrease if these people sold all their coins at once but surely they will not do that either.

Australia has long taken steps that are leading many people to speculate if it´s headed toward a cashless society http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-27/is-australia-on-the-brink-of-becoming-cashless-society/8377288. They are betting heavily on technology and in this sense it´s not at all strange this measure they have taken with regard to bitcoin. It´s clear that they bet on the use of bitcoin, the creation of companies and to attract investment. After the news from Japan now Australia, and what is to come, a change is coming and there are only two options, adapt or stay behind.

Maybe they do it because they don´t want people to wonder why they ask for the ramson in bitcoin. The reason is because of the difficulty of tracking the money later, especially once it has gone through a mixer. Now that Bitcoin is increasingly known, they may not want to emphasize that aspect. The IRS has already sued Coinbase requesting their user data in case they might be evading taxes, the Chinese government made a review on the exchanges, among other things, because they suspected capital flight.

And the major mining farms are Chinese and if the price goes up too much other companies in other parts of the world might consider investing in bitcoin mining, which would mean that Chinese miners would have more competition.

Actualización del proyecto:

A día de hoy a falta de 2 días para el final de la ICO el proyecto presenta las siguientes estadísticas:




Según escribe el propio desarrollador del proyecto en el hilo oficial, una vez haya terminado el periodo de preventa los tokens serán emitidos y distribuidos entre los inversores en un plazo no mayor de 30 días. En ese tiempo esperan haber haber empezado a operar ya en algunos mercados.

In terms of adoption I think that a stable price or a stable range would make bitcoin more popular among people. I doesn´t mind if the price is higher or lower, it´s more about to maintain itself at a certain range with the typical fluctuations that, for example, fiat money have. I am convinced of this because bitcoins have some applications that are not being used because the volatility risks. For example, you can use bitcoin to send money to your family in other part of the world, you can use it when you travel to another country, you convert your money to bitcoin and then you convert to fiat money again at destination, you can accept bicoin in your business to but what happen if in the time your bitcoin arrives to your family, in the time you are flying to your travel destination or in the time between you are getting paid in bitcoin and you convert those coins in fiat, what happen if in this time bitcoin drops? It´s true that there are some solutions, the merchant can use an api that convert those coins automatically, but in the other examples you can be lucky if bitcoin price goes up but if it goes down, if there is a dip you can lose some money.

China began to lose influence with central bank inspections on the exchanges. Then Japan has snatched the site clearly. Where China still holds much power is in mining. It will be interesting to see if the price continues to rise and because of this, in other parts of the world are created other mining centers that help to decentralize the process.

The only effect that bitcoin will receive will be some more negative publicity because some media will relate the attack with bitcoin and many people will have a more negative image of the coin but this will only last a few days. As for the price will not affect because it´s not a news directly related to Bitcoin.

Using altcoins may be useful but only in very specific cases. One the one hand you save money because its transaction fees are lower but at the same time you have to make a double change bitcoin-altcoin, altcoin-bitcoin in which you can also lose an amount in the double exchange. Different case is if the receiving person accept to receive in altcoin but in general I think it can make you save time, but not much money.

If you take a look at these prelisted coins you will see a rare pump activity just minutes before the list is published and a big dump after that. But even if you were in a legit group o coin pumpers it would be hard to earn money because you would need to be faster enough to be one of the first buyers but if the rest of the group are faster than you then you are going to buy at the top and will see your money drop.

I don´t know if there is spam but it´s true that the level of adoption is growing and with the boom in Japan and with the rise in price of Bitcoin is normal to have more transactions, I think it would be good to find a solution soon, I think it will end up activating segwit and will be done sooner rather than later.

As simple as that. These days there is some saturation, more transactions requests from which they can be processed. This causes the fees to be higher to gain priority, if the number of transactions were lower the fees would be lower as a consequence. You can also choose to pay a little less fees if you have no problem waiting longer to complete the transaction. It´s true that the biggest problem is for micropayments, one dollar payments or the like. In the future solutions like Lightning Network will surely impose to solve this.

What about Alcurex? I have my coins there since the beginning and they trade REP and SNGLS. Maybe they can even help with the swap process. If not you could enable a website where we could register our ETH address and send the VTY coins.

It´s interesting to note that many of these exchanges are not open by ordinary people but by large companies that decide to invest in Bitcoin, even a major Japanese bank will open an exchange. There are also more and more millionaires who recognize investing in bitcoin and cryptocoins. It will be interesting to see if the Japanese example extends over time to other countries. We will also have to see if big companies set their sights on mining.
