I think this will never happen. I do not even want to think about it. Blockchain is the future. Because economically literate and generally some of the most developed countries, such as Japan and Switzerland, are not what they blocked, but on the contrary, they supported and actively develop crypto-currencies !!!
2  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is Bitcoin Legal? on: July 15, 2018, 05:13:52 PM
Of course it's legal. Like any other type of activity, it can be used for good deeds and not. It's not recognized as legal, those to whom it is uncomfortable. It's like "fighting terrorism") If you understand what I mean))) They all agreed, we just need to pretend that someone is struggling with something to continue to master the state budget.

5  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-07-11] Regulation is Why The US is Losing The Crypto War on: July 12, 2018, 11:09:27 AM
 Regulator relations with crypto-currencies in America have always been difficult. In the US tax on cryptocurrencies was earlier. True, it was actually income tax. Since 2014, holders of cryptocurrencies have been required to pay capital gains tax only after exchanging their bitcoins for fiat money. However, in 2013-2015, taxes from bitcoin operations were paid by only one thousand people. The tax authorities even started the case on the cryptoexchange Coinbase, demanding the issuance of a database of owners of bitcoins.
 Now this order extends absolutely to all operations with cryptocurrencies. The tax will have to be paid even if the investor wants to change bitcoin on ether (or any other crypto currency). If the crypto currency is simply stored for less than a year, then it falls under the standard personal income tax with a progressive scale of 10% to 37%. If more than a year, then there is already a tax on long-term capital growth with a rate of up to 24%.And from the beginning of this year, all "exchange-like operations" will be taxed.
 As a result of these measures, the US clearly loses to countries such as Switzerland and Malta, where the laws regarding crypto currency are much softer.
6  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Crypto and Switzerland on: July 12, 2018, 09:19:21 AM
Unlike most countries in Switzerland, everything is very good. I read an interview of one influential Swiss, and so he said that there is only one type of crypto-investors for them - regretting that they did not invest in "blockchain" in a much larger volume. This is understandable because most Swiss people - very rich people (millionaires or billionaires) and crypto currency for them - is a very good way to invest available capital in an asset that is quite worthy to take a place in the investment portfolio.
 Also in Switzerland there are several leading firms and banks using bitcoins to close small transactions in countries using cryptocurrency, mainly in Asia.
 In addition the Swiss southern city of Chiasso, located on the border with Italy, will accept tax payments in bitcoins.
 Definitely Switzerland is one of the leaders in Crypto and this is only a small part of those areas where they uses cryptocurrency.

 Now EOS have some problem. It has been suggested that some block manufacturers intentionally refuse to change the configuration of the nodes and increase the RAM limit to 64 GB. However, it was later found out that the reason was an error when setting the base parameters of the producing node.And June 16 in the EOS network was recorded freezing of transactions(((
 Looking at all this I am very glad that I sold it then at the peak, although at that time he was predicted further growth. Re-buy it only in case if there will be a steady growth again.

Since June 26, the TRON (TRX) elections have started slowly, but the effects are already recorded - two of the 26 Super Representatives have been elected, and are producing blocks. The Skypeople and Cryptodiva groups have already taken in hundreds of blocks. The elections are continuing, but with a slow pace.

Most TRX tokens may still be locked on exchanges, or unclaimed, and the voting is hampered. Additionally, the tronscan.org service shows that in an hour, TRON saw just about 48 transactions, an extremely slow pace.

The positive thing is, the network is stable and for now there have been no freezes to compare it to the EOS launch. But in the days to come, the community will be watching the vote, to see where the candidates get their support.

For TRON, the enthusiasm has lessened, despite the news of the token being accepted, along with Verge (XVG), on the largest adult site on the Internet. Still, this is a piece of the puzzle in the longer term, as TRX aims to position itself as the currency for online entertainment.

The market price for TRX remains stagnant at $0.038. TRX is down more than 22% in the past seven days, and volumes have dwindled to $87 million, as both trading and transactions freeze during the transition period. The share of Tether (USDT) trading is around 28%. For now Binance returning online has done little for TRX, as Upbit and Bithumb took over the volumes, with OKEx adding to the activity.
 
What is extremely interesting about the TRON network is that it also runs nodes. There are currently 201 nodes, with more than 120 nodes located in the USA, against just 59 nodes for China. Strangely, other locations are almost missing from the map, showing the popularity of TRON on various markets.

The TRON project is one of the most prominent and talked about on social media - but sometimes, this is not reflected in the coin’s trading profile, which depends on Korea for support. TRON has expanded to several exchanges, but the biggest trading hype was in the past.

As Freeport, Grand Bahama Island continues its quest to become the Silicon Valley of the Caribbean by hosting the 2018 Bahamas Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference its central bank has announced plans to pilot a digital currency.
 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Hon. K. Peter Turnquest made the announcement during the conference as he spoke about his wishes for Grand Bahama to become a digital hub, saying:  “The production of a modern fully digital payment service is the way forward for this era of governance.”
 The Bahaman archipelago, located east of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean, uses two fiat currencies. The Bahamian Dollar and the USD are used simultaneously but since the Bahamian dollar is pegged to the value of the USD at a 1:1 ratio, in reality, the Bahamas does not have its own currency. Creating a digital currency may allow for a truly native dollar to reflect the islands 9 billion USD gross domestic product.
 Developing Digital Brings Banking Services To All
Deputy Prime Minister Turnquest hopes the development of a digital currency can solve two major banking problems in the Bahamas. As the Bahamas is comprised of many small islands with low populations many of its people have limited access to banking services. This forces citizens from outlying islands to make arduous boat trips to the main islands, sometimes carrying large amounts of cash, in order to do their banking.
 Mr. Turnquest sees the creation of a digital currency as a way to bring a range of banking services to all the peoples of the Bahamas and also a solution to another serious problem in the popular tourist destination, corruption. Turnquist’s plan to bring blockchain technology to the island in order to put an end to corruption in the government was key to his appointment to office one year ago.

Eos is more decentralized than Bitcoin. Btc is mostly owned by bitmains mining farm almost 51 percent of the network.

 Go vote for your favorite block producer or be a block producer. It's very democratic. Not even antpool/bitmain can over take the eos network

Not for the other day China has released the second edition of its state-endorsed cryptocurrency and Blockchain ratings, placing Chinese altcoin EOS top of the list and Bitcoin 17th.

The Tron Foundation just announced new details on its mainnet launch and block producer election, including a coin burn on June 25th to celebrate the occasion.

“To commemorate this exciting moment, TRON Foundation will conduct a burn of 1,000,000,000 TRX all at once, which is worth 50 million USD according to today’s market price.
 This may set the record for the most amount of money destroyed in human history in celebration of a historic moment.
 The amount of TRX at the beginning of mainnet launch will be reduced to 99,000,000,000TRX, and the remaining 33,251,807,524 TRX held by TRON foundation will stay locked until January 1th, 2020.”

Can push the Tron price up.

 I advise you to look at the Stellar (XLM). According to some reports, Stellar ready to launch its own decentralized trading platform known as SDEX in the next month, and they have plans to make changes to the core protocol. This decision to modify the protocol would change the way in which buy and sell orders are carried out on Stellar-based trading platforms.
 Currently, users are able to create offers of multiple ‘shadow,’ something that adds up more than the holdings on a specific wallet. But ultimately, these offers can vanish, something that could result in possible manipulation of order books.
 Other important cryptocurrency exchanges have been creating ‘fake’ sell and buy walls, but they require the user to hold the exact amount of the currency they are operating in order to place these ‘fake’ offers. In this way, users are not able to sell or bid with bigger amounts than what they have deposited in their wallets.
 With this update to the Stellar protocol, users will be able to buy and/or sell the exact amount of currencies that they have in their wallets. It is not possible to increase that number. In this way, the new platform will be working more like a decentralized trading exchange.
 The exchange will have a functionality known as ‘liabilities,’ which will be examining outbound and inbound liabilities. This would prevent further manipulation of the order book and accounts proposing to sell or buy more than what they have in their wallets.
 These measures may see very small for some participants, but they are a very strong signal from the Stellar Development Foundation on how the are taking the project on their shoulders They want to give a boost to liquidity with their trading platform and protocol in the coming months.
 Moreover, it is possible to see an XLM currency with green light to start trading in New York after the approval of financial regulations.

Trade War Fears Between China And U.S Boosts Crypto Market
 Crypto market gains $16 billion today as economic fears over an imminent trade war between global superpowers US and China, drives investors towards decentralized assets.
 US President Donald Trump’s latest response to levy a further tariff on a further $200 billion worth of Chinese imports, has created widespread fears of an imminent trade war. The escalation between Washington DC and Beijing’s tit-for-tat tariff war has been triggering widespread uncertainty throughout both nation’s financial markets, with the Nasdaq COMP index, S&P-500, Shanghai Composite and  Nikkei 225 index all suffering losses today.
 “The trade relationship between the United States and China must be much more equitable,” President Trump said. “The United States will no longer be taken advantage of on trade by China and other countries in the world.”
 This political posturing sparked off last week when President Trump decidedly slapped a trade tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese imports, in a bid to compensate the United States for what he believed to be years of alleged Chinese intellectual property theft. The far east responded in kind and threatened to place a like-for-like tariff on all US imports into China unless the new punitive tariff was removed. In an attempt to strong arm the opposition, President Trump fought back by asking U.S. Trade Representative Robert E. Lighthizer, to draw up a list of $200 billion worth of Chinese products that they can attach a further tariff to, including an additional $200 billion worth if China retaliates.
 Overall the potential tariff charges could hit $450 billion worth of Chinese products entering into the US, which is likely to spill over into the working classes and create havoc for the citizens of both economies. 
 Meanwhile amidst this trade war, the geo-political unrest has directed a surge of capital back into the global crypto market, as individuals on both sides of the pacific withdraw into decentralized virtual assets to protect their interests. The global market capital has enjoyed a $16 billion increase in the last 24hrs and is looking promising to retrace back towards $300 billion, as US and Chinese stock market FUD increases.
 On the Bitfinex exchange, BTC/USD trading pair is currently accounting for nearly 5% of all Bitcoin trades today, as investors buy into BTC to hedge against the falling US dollar market.
 It’s likely that as this war continues between the two superpowers, smart investors will seek to leverage this opportunity to make profits; taking advantage of fact that both the traditional financial market and the crypto market operate on completely separately plains. This means that the crypto market could continue to improve as tensions rise and international trade concerns deepen, lifting the digital assets out of a long bearish period.

 Digital payments firm Square has received a BitLicense from regulators in the state of New York.
 The company announced Monday that the New York Department of Financial Services granted the license. Square first indicated back in March that it had submitted paperwork to receive a BitLicense, a move later confirmed by a spokesperson.
 Square's bitcoin-buying option – through its Cash app – first debuted last fall, after which the company began steadily providing access to a greater number of users. New York had, until today, remained a major U.S. market in which Square had yet to receive permission to operate.
 The company's move into the crypto space has already proven its worth, recent figures show. In May, Square reported that it had booked a small profit on $34 million in crypto-related revenue through is Cash app.
