If you had to ask me how you would describe the life of an everyday hodler, I would certainly answer you to look at the life of a horse that pulls the carriage around the city all day.
Yeah, actually it seems to be so, a horse that can not see left or right but only forward because of the immense blinders, that does not hear noises or words because of the ear muffs and that, despite the whips, traffic, heat or cold, it continues along its way, completing its objectives to carry around people.

let's analyze the elements better:
- Horse: Hodler
- Earmuffs: ability not to hear market noises / fud or news, whether good or bad.
- Blinders: ability not to see the trendline in continuous decline and not see the constant collapse of the market.
- Carriage: The load, or the commitment that we have taken, in this case is represented by BTC.


And you, how would you describe the life of a hodler?

Better, the crypto environment needs healthy growth away from capitalist scenarios. Amazon, google, facebook, twitter and others, represent the obstacle that we are defeating. It is clear that they banned us. We are stronger because we are a community. Hödl

We need to do a series of analyzes:

It is appropriate to know how to differentiate XRP from Ripple like Bitcoin and bitcoin or Blockchain and Bitcoin.
The first, XRP, is a native cryptocurrencies, if compared in terms of technological performance (transaction speed, network scalability etc ...) turns out to be the best, to the contrast, if we maintain the comparison with BTC, XRP is centralized despite the incredible efforts of Ripple (society) to decentralize the blockchain itself of XRP. BTC, by its very nature, is decentralized, this does not imply that the investor is obliged to submit to a system guided by a man / company, being able to fully express the potential of BTC itself. If we want to think about a hypothetical price in the future of XRP, it must be given by several variables as well as taking into account the demand and supply, but also:

- How will XRP move in the future? Contrary to what can be said, it is in the community itself to express the potential of XRP itself. To date, no one over Ripple offers work on the developments of the XRP network and not just Ripple Inc.

- Circulating supply: As the XRP is available in more money than BTC, it will be more difficult for him to reach high figures -
XRP for a series of mathematical reasons can reach the price of 5/6 $ only between 2019 and 2020.

I will always continue to thank all of you for the advice and support you are giving me.

I think you have made me reflect a lot in a moment of lack of clarity towards this particular asset, and I share with you the thought that it makes no sense to realize 90% of loss and take out 10% .... to this point I prefer or lose everything or do better with hodl.

@xireKT: Thanks friend! Yes, my wallet is all in red, but compared to other cryptoassets, this worried me more in the future.

A press release outlining the ideas, which the Commission now refers to as an “Action Plan,” saw high-level EU officials voice the need for an “enabling framework” for innovative technologies going forward.
Europe should become a global hub for FinTech, with EU businesses and investors being able to exploit most of the benefits of the single market in this rapidly evolving sector.


These are the opening words of the document just published by the European Commission: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-1403_en.htm

These are the opening words of the document just published by the European Commission where today presented its FinTech plan:

The FinTech action plan:

The financial sector is the largest user of digital technologies and one of the main drivers in the digital transformation of the economy. Today's action plan includes 23 steps to enable the expansion of innovative business models, support for the adoption of new technologies, increase IT security and the integrity of the financial system, including:

The Commission will host an EU FinTech laboratory in which European and national authorities will engage with technology providers in a neutral and non-commercial space;

The Commission has already set up an EU Observatory and Blockchain forum. Later, in 2018, he will report on the challenges and opportunities of cryptographic assets and is working on a global strategy on distributed register technology and on the blockchain for all sectors of the economy. A distributed ledger is a shared information database on a network. The best-known type of distributed ledger is blockchain.

The Commission will consult on the best way to promote the digitization of information published by listed companies in Europe, including by using innovative technologies to interconnect national databases. This will allow investors much easier access to key information to inform their investment decisions.

The Commission will organize workshops to improve information sharing on information security;

The Commission will present a plan with best practices on regulatory sandboxes, based on the guidelines of the European Supervisory Authorities. A regulatory sandbox is a framework created by regulators that allows FinTech startups and other innovators to conduct live experiments in a controlled environment under the supervision of a regulator. Regulatory sandboxes are gaining popularity, especially in developed financial markets.


In paragraph 2.3 of the pdf of the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/180308-action-plan-fintech_en.pdf

Contains the position of the European Commission on the subject FinTech and Blockchain:

"Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies will likely lead to a major breakthrough that will transform the way information or assets are exchanged, validated, shared and accessed through digital networks. They are likely to continue to develop in the coming years and become a key component of the digital economy and society."

And more:
"It is important to avoid the confusion between blockchain and crypto-asset technologies that only represent one type of blockchain application."

In my opinion the words spent on cryptoassets are also very nice and encouraging:
"Technological innovation has led to new types of financial assets such as crypto-assets. Such crypto-assets and the underlying blockchain technology hold promise for financial markets and infrastructures. Their use also presents risks, as has been witnessed by strong volatility of crypto-assets, fraud and operational weaknesses and vulnerabilities at crypto-asset exchanges.
At EU level, action has already been taken to address some specific risks. The threat and vulnerability of virtual currencies and money laundering and terrorist financing was assessed as significant to highly significant in the Commission’s Report on the assessment of the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.11 In December 2017, European legislators agreed to extend the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive12 to virtual currency exchanges and wallet providers. The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) issued warnings about the speculative market environment for virtual currencies and other risks associated with crypto-assets.13 All warnings point to the fact that crypto-asset investment is high risk and that investors may incur substantial losses due to their volatility but also due to the lack of market transparency and integrity and operational weaknesses as well as vulnerabilities in cryptoasset services and trading venues."


What do you think of these relationships? How is the EU moving in the FinTech & Blockchain field? Do you agree?

Goodmorning everyone
wow! I did not expect much advice, I thank each of you very much for your wisdom and willingness to advise.

Yes, it is my case, unfortunately I have (at the present time) a loss too substantial that if I realized I could certainly not get new sums to reinvest.
As a result, as I am doing with the other assets where I have invested, thanks to your suggestions and your encouragement I think I will definitely do HODL as you taught me! Community strength!

anyway here is my support analysis:

CRPT has a circulating supply of: 72,781,577 Token.
At the time of my purchase the value was quite high (above $ 1)

The current price is $ 0.392939 and carries a m.cap of $ 28.598.720

In my BP I have compiled at least a price of $ 2 for the doubling of the amount invested.

If I wanted to get the desired result I would have to get a m.cap of $ 145,563,154 with an increase of m.cap $ 116,964,434 from the moment.

To get the TOP from my investment instead I should get:
m.cap $ 218.344.731 and reach a price of $ 3.

According to you will enter all this capital in m.cap?

Hello to all,

I invested in Crypterium ICO a lot of money, from business plan I was going to keep CRPT Token until Q3 2018. We are still in Q1 is true, but mathematically, according to my calculations, CRPT token can not reach the result I was hoping for. I made about 90% loss from the amount invested. What do I do? Do I continue to Hodl or do I realize this huge loss? To get back on track I need at least 2/3 full points and I do not think the token can do it.


Did you invest in CRPT? Do you think you can do it?

"Quando smetteremo di essere stupidi non ci chiameremo più Italiani. "

Non capisco. Secondo loro basta usare la blockchain per essere eletti? Per cambiare le sorti di questo "paese"? Sul serio, cazzo c'entra la parola blockchain con M5S?
Bisogna fare una seria distinzione tra la classe politica e la classe STEM. E si sa che alla fine, STEM batte politica.

Sul serio, amico, se hai votato M5S, anzi se hai votato in generale, non credo che abbia molto senso che tu sia qui.
Fai parte di una comunità decentralizzata, di uno o più progetti ed hai cambiato il tuo stile di vita da un giorno all'altro. Non sei più un cazzo di debitore/creditore della banca e della banca centrale. Sei il reale proprietario dei tuoi soldi. Ancora che vai a votare? Per fare che? Cosa vuoi ottenere una volta che hai votato? Pensi che cambi qualcosa? Ok allora ti farò presente che non cambierà nulla, anzi, complimenti! hai contribuito a distruggere maggiormente questo paese.

Secondo un recente articolo del Sole24Ore:  http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/notizie/2018-03-03/tutti-costi-miliardari-stato-che-prossimo-governo-dovra-gestire-104119.shtml?uuid=AELx8m7D

La spesa pubblica Italiana è superiore ai 100 miliardi.
Di cui: 78,81 secondo il sole sono per i dipendenti pubblici.
Soluzione di Di Maio: Meno privatizzazioni

Costi di gestione: 7,51
Soluzione di Di Maio: Meno privatizzazioni, più Stato

What a grandissimo fuck?!? Il nostro debito e siamo poco privatizzati in Italia (è tutto pubblico, siamo uno dei maggiori paesi al mondo ad essere così ) è elevatissimo e tu continui a bombardare di costi il portafoglio del governo?



Part II: Meno contante
Aspè.......che stai dicendo? Meno contante?!?!?!?!?! Siete persone fuse senza competenze economico-bancarie e senza intelligenza.

Prima vuoi uscire dall'Euro
Poi vuoi rimettere la Lira
Poi vuoi mettere i Bitcoin?
Alla fine che useremo? qualche cryptoscam?

Pensate davvero di cambiare moneta così, come bersi un bicchier d'acqua?
(-contante +carte di credito)= sapere il risultato quanto fa? + commissioni bancarie

E la cryptocommunity, che vuole un mondo bankless e vuole tornare proprietario dei propri soldi vota M5s??!? non sembra contraddittoria come cosa? non vorrei essere io a pensare male

Ogni riferimento ad ogni partito politico è puramente casuale. Mi dispiace aver preso come riferimento M5s, ma siete stati gli unici a sporcarvi la bocca parlando di blockchain..

Penso sia più remunerativo vendere 500 BTC a 0€ (quando il valore di BTC sta a 1kkk) piuttosto che traferirmi in Italia con M5S al potere.

In Italy we live in a dramatic situation. Today, more than ever, our country is in pain, why do you come here to talk about us?

Please, the M5S government is worse than the worst government in the world, they are thieves and talkers. Italy would end up living if M5S climbed and that's why:

Italy does not protect its public workers.
You are more protected from private.
Leaving Europe would mean cutting Horizon 2020 funds dedicated to medical and university research. This would lead to an increase in taxes.

Why do you talk about M5S when you talk about Italy?
With less privatization public spending rises and as a result the Italians will pay more taxes. Italy is a country where more taxes are paid in the world.
If you come to Italy, M5S will also tax your ass, bitcoin and the air you breathe.
There is a tax on the shadow that applies as occupation of public land .... why the hell do you talk about M5S when you talk about Italy?

Did you ever talk about bitcoin with a female friend rather than a male? I personally had fun situations, during a coffee with a female friend told me that for Christmas her mother bought she some fraction of bitcoin and asked me what he could do ... I do not think he became a trader, but I think he has taken an alternative asset to safeguard and invest his money. For me there are crypto women, only they do not show because they have no reason like us. Here we are a mixture of crypto purists, traders, investors, visionaries, researchers and students. Even if a girl does not belong to one of these categories ... I think it's hard to talk to us online.

Today is a very important day internationally, it's the women's party!
Some traditions also refer to a dramatic incident that took place in the United States in 1857, when some factory workers who had been closed by the employer in order not to take part in a strike lost their lives as a result of a fire.
These are very uncomfortable and serious situations, caused by the mentality of the past. This party must be for us a symbol of change and innovation, and this topic of evolution, I find it most likely equal to the change that Bitcoin and Blockchain are bringing.

With this message I would like to transmit energy, positivity and safety to women all over the world! Continue to pursue your goals and overcome your obstacles!

How many Crypto-Woman are there?

Mi sarebbe piaciuto disegnare il simbolo del BTC sulla scheda del voto

Personalmente seguo una filosofia di vita che non si associa nemmeno in una minuscola virgola con il pensiero dei candidati e delle loro proposte. Con il massimo rispetto per i politici, mi dispiace ma anche questa volta voterò domani. Al momento nessun porchito politico rispecchia ciò che è la mia visione di Italia, di conseguenza perchè regalare il mio voto?
Tuttavia il mio appoggio andrà di certo a chi si mette contro il m5s

Do you think that you can add an additional $ 600 billion to bitcoin market capitalization? Do you think it can reach roughly $ 800 billion of total market capitalization while maintaining a steady growth in monthly btc supply? it seems to me about 50000 new BTCs per month.
According to the latest data provided by CoinDesk, the commission cost per transaction has been reduced from $ 37 (historical high) to about - $ 1 more or less like January '17.
think that this can be a good reason to buy, especially seeing -8% on the last day of BTC.

Do you believe in all these things? Do you really believe it? So go, invest and HODL! my friend ... HODL!

In our day it is important to keep in mind the generation of new jobs offered by sectors subject to constant and high growth such as new digital, technological, music and sound companies, general startups and so on. Most startups today are born with 50- employees, usually in a number included within 5, 10.
To become part of a work team, a degree is generally required and a sufficient number of skills to meet the ideal candidate requirements.
With the progress of blockchain technology it becomes opportune to testify and certify the skills of individuals for the promotion of the generation of new jobs and the reduction of the employment rate in the blockchain industry.

The problem:
Do you also carry out individual work activities in the blockchain and bitcoin chain in the curriculum?
ES: If I am a miner or a crypto algotrader and I want to present my resume to the company I can or they are not worth? What prevents them from being an added value?

thank you very much for your participation, if you are willing I would have some doubts about the project:

- How exactly does the RightMesh network work? Just one device is connected to the wi-fi network and others can connect to the mesh network (supported by the device connected to wi-fi) without the need for wi-fi? If that particular device went down?

- How much distance (perhaps in km) with which each node can be connected in the mesh network? ES: If my device is in Bangla, and a device is connected to India, should I find closer access or the signal arrives?

Mi basta sapere questo. (Avevo premura a sottolineare infatti il mio disinteresse politico prima di porre la mia osservazione che non pone preferenze verso nessuno)
Mi ricordo anni fa venivi descritto semplicemente come un bimbominkia con tanto di kappa...oppure un bel noob.

Non era mia intenzione. Un semplice post dove si parla di politica e bitcoin, ognuno può dire la sua-  Io parlo, scrivo e discuto solo e principalmente di bitcoin, blockchain e cryptocurrencies in generale. Partendo dal presupposto che a prescindere dalla mia tenera data di registrazione a questo forum (il che non determinerebbe assolutamente nulla ) e che questo sarà il mio terzo o quarto messaggio nella sezione Italiana, e che tranquillo, mi iscrivo per partecipare allo sviluppo open-source della rete e non per pensare alla politica, tuttavia frequento i forum da troppi anni e mai ho sentito parlare di tali individui...ma poi WTF? se in un post non si parla solo di bitcoin ma di bitcoin associato a terzi settori / lavori o altro puoi arrivare e dire che ci iscriviamo solo per fare un commento politico? bho...

Premetto che non voto. Premetto che non ho mai votato e mai voterò. Premetto che non mi definisco solo cittadino Italiano, sono abitante del mondo. Premetto che non ho interessi comuni con nessun partito politico.
E' solamente un piacere poter esprimere il mio punto di vista. Apprezzo, ne sono contento, e contemporaneamente sorpreso, di vedere come anche le mentalità più regresse e meno aperte all'innovazione (non parlo direttamente del partito M5S ma del politico medio italiano) siano pronte a discutere l'argomento e trovare tempo per la comprensione delle potenzialità della blockchain. Tuttavia vorrei ricordare, che questo non è e non sarà mai un ennesimo campo da riempire nelle proprie promesse riguardanti il programma di “Sviluppo economico” del Movimento 5 Stelle. Ne sono assolutamente contrario. Il mondo delle cryptocurrencies e, in linea generale, della blockchain, non sono elementi di propaganda politica. Preoccupatevi dell'amministrazione territoriale, ad amministrare le tasse, a ridurre il debito pubblico, a ricostruire le città colpite dalle catastrofi naturali, occupatevi di politica, occupatevi delle privatizzazioni delle aziende pubbliche, preoccupatevi di attirare nuovi cervelli, non di metterli in fuga. Vi prego, di continuare unicamente a fare ciò per cui siete nati e bravi a fare. Mettetevi i soldi in tasca, prendete un bello stipendio e lasciateci lavorare. Siete al quanto indecisi su tutto e non sapete più come riempire i vostri fogli di promesse. Fino a ieri volevate addirittura uscire dall'Euro, e oggi, volete introdurvi nel nostro campo. Non vi sembra abbastanza? L'unione con l'Europa e la nostra cooperazione con le principali potenze europee devono essere solamente un vantaggio, peccato che ancora non sapete sfruttarlo. La ricerca, l'istruzione, l'innovazione devono essere all'ordine del giorno. Lasciateci scoprire, siamo ricercatori. Lasciateci inventare, siamo creatori. Lasciateci creare, siamo ingegneri. E' questo quello che siamo, il popolo Italiano. Prima della democrazia, un tempo, i nostri ideali ruotavano attorno alla parola STEM. (Science, Technologies, Engineering, Mathematics) I più grandi scienzati, tecnologi, ingegneri, matematici, erano Italiani. Non avete tutelato il nostro paese, i nostri credi, non avete creduto nelle potenzialità del popolo Italiano. Non avete creduto nello spirito innovativo delle Università Italiane. Consiglio a tutto il movimento 5 stelle di fare una bella visita sulle pagine Internet delle principali università e non parlo di Luiss o Bocconi. Andate a visitare la Sant'Anna di Pisa. Andate a far visita all'Università di Siena. Volete parlare di Smart City? Biorobotica e Ingegneria? Noi siamo i migliori in questo e voi i peggiori a tutelarci. La blockchain è di nessuno e nessuno ha il diritto di usarla come mezzo propagandistico per elezioni politiche. Iniziate a colmare il divario tra VC e startup Italiane / Europee / Americane / Asiatiche. Qui non esiste una startup. Qui non esiste un fondo VC. (Mi vorresti dire che Digital Magics e quelle cag...li siano acceleratori innovativi? Non sanno nemmeno vedere dietro la montagna.. Non ho visto emergere più di due Startup Italiane fuori dall'Europa se non dall'Italia stessa. Garantire ai giovani l'adeguata istruzione STEM e imprenditoriale. Garantire un istruzione a tutti. Garantire Vitto e Allogio ai grandi geni internazionali che entrino nel nostro paese e partecipino al cambiamento. Volete scrivere qualcosa su quel cazzo di documento delle promesse? STEM è l'unica cosa che potete scrivere.

Chiedo scusa per un eventuale mancanza di rispetto, ti prego, non prendere questo messaggio come un insulto, un offesa, ma prendilo come un messaggio motivazionale esattamente come un allenatore fa con il proprio giocatore. Vi prego di aprire i vostri occhi, di lasciare addietro la mentalità, qualsiasi tipo di mentalità. Lasciati scrollare addosso i pensieri, i problemi e ciò a cui pensi. Pensa solo a creare, innovare, aiutare. Se l'Italia realmente volesse, oggi, sarebbe la prima potenza globale. I nostri professori universitari hanno creato progetti incredibili che solamente l'emerito Carlo Ratti al MIT avrebbe potuto fare. Ma lui lo avete cacciato, qui non avrebbe creato tutto ciò che avrebbe potuto fare lì. Vi prego, fate un giro nelle pagine web dei progetti delle università Italiane, comprendeteli, comprendete le potenzialità e cercate di comprendere perchè sono ancora lì..fermi.

Thank you for sharing your point of view.
Do you think that the main reason is hidden behind the youth and therefore "little strength" of the crypto market? Or do you think that in a future, not too remote, can this change occur due to the development of new projects capable of attracting traditional investors?
