Everything depends on your specialization and the quality of your education. There is no doubts that you have to to get some skills but sometiles it is more usefull to buy a couple courses on cousera.com then 4 years of collede studies. If you like trading then you can use this time to learn some markets and how they work, make some research about what will you need to get a job in future but don't concentrate your attention only on bitcoin. Every skilled investor will always diversify his assets between crypto and fiat.
You should also accept the fact that sometimes you need a college degree kust to get some permissions from the government (for example a certificate to work on financial markets) so everything depends on your special case.

That's just my humble opinion but for the last years I see the situation when some EU banks and countries are simply overloaded with money. Some of them are trying to implement the negative interest rate while the others are giving money to everyone with zero interest. They are doing everything in order to boost the economy and make people somegow use money (open new businesess for example, that's pretty easy when you have almost 0% loan). While all those things can cause the debt crisis. Btw everything is not that bad because they had a good growth before (at least some years).

I've got mixed feelings about those news. First of all as it was already mentioned the article is pretty old. The problem was solved (at least for a while) but I haven't seen anyone hurrying to accept BTC again. The next thing is that I don't really believe that they stopped supporting bitcoin only because of high fees. It shouldn't really matter anyone. They could just accept funding of their accs via BitPay without dealing with cryptos. In such case user would have to deal with high fees by himself. Maybe someone needs to buy lots of expensive stuff and 10-15$ of tx fee was not that important. It shouldn't be a bit problem for Valve. Seems like they might face another more serious reason and simply decided to dodge cryptos.

Now, it looks like porsche is hopping on the bandwagon in the hope of artificially inflating its stock price via association with blockchain/bitcoin.
Kodak was nearly dead for years so it may be concidered for them as an attempt to get back to the market while Porche feels pretty fine (not totaly fine but the situation with Kodak was much worse). And they also are a bit late with trying to hype on "blockchain", now they gona have to do something to get some real value. Imho such news are not that interesting. First because cars are working fine without blockchain, it is not that important for that stuff. Second is that those things can pump the stock price but it will never affect the price of cryptocurrencies and even if they will succeed with blockchain everything will be unnoticed by the crypto cummunity. |

Everyone is saying that it is an interesting project but no one can clearly describe why. Sometimes it feels like all those spammers are hiding some secret from me. Cardano (ADA) is a blockchain for different smart contracts. How many projects do you see based on this blockchain? Ethereum will definetely hold its #1, ADA need to become super popular to compete with it. Also the supply of ADA is huge, it definetely won't hit 10, 20,30, 100$ price.
If you are not trying to catch another hype then don't expect to get much out of it.

The 1hr change column is only somehow usefull for traders but they are more likely to get the informations from charts, that are more informative, on exchanges where they are currently trading. This column could be a place for a small chart or whatever. Coinmarketcap also offer the most traded coins on 1 page just because the top coins are the most traded ones. Comparing to CMC the design is much worse. I don't need anything special but lacking the coin icons on the left side makes it harder to find a proper one.
Mate, there is pretty much job to be done to make your website competitive to cmc.

In most cases governments are charging taxes in fiat. In order to get charged you need to sell your funds first. All those taxation will continue to seem logical untill cryptocurrencies are used not as a payment method. I don't think that you will get taxed for buying and then selling the same abount of some stablecoins. I also think that normal people will still be able to sell their cryptos without any problems. I doubt that aby serious tax department will try to charge you for selling 1k$ worth of bitcoin (unless there will be any national exchange with % included) or untill a good volume is passing thru you.
For normal people it is a sign that cryptos are getting more extablished.
I get your point sir, So does it mean that whenever you invest on some cryptos you will not get taxed right? Only when you sell your funds right? Thanks for the help sir, highly ppreciated. Everything is literally not about crtypto. It is about the fiat amount of your cryptocurrency and how much money did you get from it. For example if you buy 100 USDT and then sell 100 USD you didn't get any profit and shouldn't be taxed. But if for example back in 2015 you bought a couple BTC and you cashing it now then you probably would be asked to pay some money to your big brother because you got the outcome of your investments (and will be charged for the % of it, not the whole amount). Ofc maybe some government will be dumb enough to add extra taxes but imho this taxation will be adequate and mostly affect enterpreneurs and companies. |

BillCoin is right that the "Tether way" is not decentralized - and it's not really difficult to achieve, as it's the same way than payment processors like PayPal hold the peg of their tokens to fiat - simply holding a centrally-managed reserve.
And why does everyone is trying to find a decentralized coin? You are willing to fix the price in fiat. Fiat emission is centralized and most part of fiat is held by the banks and controlled by the government. If you need the coin to have a stable price of 1$ then someone should guarantee this price. The only collateral for 1$ is another 1$, the other typec of collateral can lose its price in some time. And if the coin won't be backed 1:1 then it will have a market price which is not 1$. That is the problem of absolutely all stablecoins which makes them not legit. The only coin with a fixed price is the one that will be issued by the government. |

Basic income is obviously a bad idea. It may only work in countries with huge amount of government spendings compared to GDP (that's why such experiments are held in scandinavian countries). In this case you are choosing a better of two evils. it is obviously better to spend money as you want instead of wasting it into some unknown gov project. The bad thing is that it will still remain high taxes to support this thing. It have nothing in common with freedom. But blockchain tbh may help with the distribution process but nothing more. Demcracy in most cases is the same thing as making someone drive a car while this person have no idea about how to drive. The beginning of the example on the provided wiki link is pretty funny. Someone picked the most democratical country: Early Russian Soviets practiced delegative democracy[8][9] but as the Bolshevik majority was reached, this system gradually eroded in favor of more representational forms of governance. The information from empcapitalism sometimes is just hillarious. The subtitle of the board says: "In this board we will rehabilitate Capitalism to an economic solution that works for ALL on Earth. This is the road to happiness, Freedom, Peace and Harmoney on Earth. This board will challenge your Common Sense and Integrity." And then you are scrolling down and see a video with a title "Why Isn't it a Crime to Starve a Child to Death?". And finaly the land value tax is nothing more then attempt to rob people. |

You examples are mostly applied to the traditionsl markets ( like stocks and fores) which is pretty obvious because you are literaly quoting the traditional investors. The part about trading can be applied almost to every market because it is more about analyzing charts then anything else. But the point about investing is completely different from what people do with crypto. The investing that is done in traditional markets require way bigger amount of analysis and calculations while you should know something about the sphere of your company and its product. Comparing to traditional ftuff, Investing into altcoins is just a gambling. Don't think that you are an investor if you've been godling BTC for a year.

Personally I have no idea about what is wrong with the current marketplaces and why are they supposed to be decentralized. Everything is fine for now. But holy crap. That's the first time that I see offering such bonuses. There is x10 price difference (!!!) between the first and the last stages and you are planning to raise 50 mil. That is the worst investment that could be found for now. After the coin get listed the price will be immediately dumped by the free coins.

Yesterday the ETH price has renewed its 100 day minimum and as there were no obvious reason to break it and go even lower the price has bounced back. Also yesterday the BTC growth was not that cinfident and right now ETH is "compensating" this lost time (BTC +6.8% and ETH is +8.5). Personally I don't pay attention on everything what is below 10% if I am not trading at this moment.
Also if you are warried about the ETH changes while BTC is stable you can just try to check if any major ICO has ended shortly. Maybe devs are selling ETH they gathered to get money for developement of their project.

The first thing that I've noticed while reviewing the website is that it have a somehow adequate translations to other languages. It is still slightly incomplete, the clouds that describe BestMixer features are not translated and FAQ is not complete (hopefully you will correct it soon, this is an important information). Some places imho should be rewrited a bit better but in general everything is understandable and looks good (I mean that in most crypto related services translations are much worse).
The other thing that I've noticed is that bestmixer.io is showing the incoming transactions right after you send it while most of similar services only show confirmed transactions. Such feature is usefull when you are mixing such low speed coins as BTC.
The speed and design of the website are fine. FAQ is clear (if you read it in english), calculators and tor link are fine. Everything works as it should be. A possibility of integrating your API to other websites looks interesting but I don't have my own website so I couldn't check it.
Right now I am waiting for my coins. Transfer delay automatically stands on 2 hr 30 min. My suggestion is to add a countdown to the order pannell.
Coins were recieved back with 26.987 sat/B transaction fee (while I've been sending with the electrum recommended 7.707 sat/B ). Such transaction shouldn't stuck anywhere.
UPD: I have recieved the reward. Thanks for the opportunity to test your service.

Blue-chip companies have their products and their stock price is based on management and performance while Bitcoin price depends mostly on its adoption and speculations. That makes the whole comparison inaccurate. Blue chips are the most stable companies (like Apple, IBM, Microsoft, The Coca-Cola Company, Ford, Alphabet) and this is the safest type of investments. Unfortunately I can't say the same about cryptocurrencies.
The only type of stocks that BTC can be compared with is the ones that raised in dotcom bubble.
At least I can say that for now, OP is right in his comparison only when it is in terms of crypto. I think large swings are normal since crypto market is relatively new when compared to stocks, Therefore it is too early to call bitcoin a bubble. Somehow, I agree with your statement that BTC itself can be compared with the ones that raised in dotcom bubble, because of the excessive speculation of users and investors. Bitcoin is too volatile to becompared with blue chips. If they could drop by 10% just for 1 day then they probabky wouldn't be so safe and reputable. The other and pretty positive thing that I want to point out about BTC and dotcom bubble is that it is not that bad. People are getting scared because of a "bubble" and this is wrong. The poiny is that many companies (Amazon for example) startet at those times and got extremely hyped. Yes, the bubble blew up but the valuable companies are still working. The same could be applied to BTC, the bubble may blow up bit it will still worth something. |

the quotes I highlighted were just a couple things that I thought might be of interest to the crypto community...
socialistic thoughts about global wealth? not what I was thinking with that first quote. I was thinking of DLT (aka blockchain)
And yeah believe me i know how badly Europe and USA are watching everybody, digital age, big data... - again what I meant with that quote, is how do we protect (from hackers/thiefs not necessarily govts) all of the data that our homes, cars, cellphones, computers, will generate in the future?
that's a valid question whether it is existential or not is up to you, but I think it is worth discussing in a crypto forum.
So what exactly should be decentralized? The problem of privacy can't be globaly solved by using blockchain. The data that you would be able to make more private is mostly useless while the government will never allow you to hide the other part. I remember someone from the top management of Google said that if you don't want anyone to know that you are doing sonething then you just shouldn't do it (that was the answer on the question about the question about privacy). Mainstream have no respect to your internet privacy and they will mobilize all power to reject those things. The blockchain might be adopted in such places where it is possible to minimize the price of datastorage (like there was a project that kept medical data on blockchain) but this is not about privacy. |

my personal highlights (around 30 min in) :
"this third industrial revolution platform is designed to be distributed, not centralized. It works best when its collaborative and open and transparent, rather than closed and proprietary."
"How do we ensure privacy when everyone is connected?"
That words are just baseless. Many of the politicians will tell you that they are willing to create an uncorrupted and transarent country with a healthy econimy (including all economical contragents). And some of them are succeeding. For example scandinavian socialism works fine. Your highlights are nothing more then some socialistic thoughts about global wealth. Absolutely baseless. If the video starts from the alarms about the global warming then everything is not so bad. You haven't wasted the X amount of your life watching it and you can just close that page. "How do we ensure privacy when everyone is connected?"
That will never happen. The american and european socialists are pretty far from the real privacy. I'm not even sure that they know what it is. |
