You should trying getting a debit card that let's you exchange your bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies at a great rate and so you'll be able to practically make your payments with crypto at every merchant that accepts a VISA/MasterCard. Try using Wirex for example. Wink

I used to use a service similar to Wirex but I have to say it's quite difficult to rely on as after a while VISA and MasterCard shuts down their network once they find they are using crypto. Its a good idea, just not bulletproof.

As a round up ;

Cardano
AirTm
Pundix
Bitspark
Ethereum?

In today's conditions, cryptocurrencies cannot bring bank operations in full. Conditions are not appropriate. However, the new ICOs are promising in this regard. I think we won't need a bank soon with some projects.

That's true. The infrastructures are still being built but I guess we are closer than ever. The main hurdle I think is the distribution network for accessibility between cash/crypto. I wonder how many are using crypto to pay, and not hodl.

All centralized exchanges bringing kyc thing, and that doesn't really suit with cryptos. Cryptos are decentralized and decentralized exchanges are future.

agree but depends on who is using them. aml.kyc for centralised exchanges were brought along for a number of reasons. firstly to satisfy the regulators in that region (usually the US), secondly for traders to feel comfortable with a process as aml.kyc is associate with legitimacy and thirdly for institutional funding in an attempt to make it less wild west like the good old days.

I wanted to create this thread for the cryptocurrency community to learn how to unbank ourselves using cryptocurrency. Real examples of living with cash and crypto is welcomed along with suggestions, new methods, hypothetical methods. It's important we share this info to empower the community to adopt alternative finance.

How do you send money using crypto? How do you pay your rent, bills, utilities groceries using crypto? Go!

It really depends on what you define as success. Many coins have huge marketcap but don't have a real product for users while others are heavily underrated but have delivered. Speculation vs Facts.

Good options, I would also say Spark which was formally Bitspark i believe. Been around for 4 years with 3 products in 7 markets. Pretty cool. Every milestone they've hit which is pretty rare as well. Does anyone know them ?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the most interesting crypto-related projects in your opinion? on: September 13, 2018, 08:50:34 AM
Most interesting to me is Bitspark (but I think they rebranded to Spark) which has been around for 4 years doing bankless transfers using Bitcoin and now Bitshares as well.The amount this team has achieved is insane, they are asia based so I guess that's why they get little recognition. They have a fully working and live platform, mobile app and decentralised exchange which they put money transfers through for cash based users! Really recommend talking a look at them.

Only share ones which legitimate i.e has real products out in market!
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will decentralised exchanges be the future ? on: September 06, 2018, 05:51:26 AM
doing more research have found that there are varying degrees of "decentralised" on exchanges. even ones which say they are might not be. be careful trading on pseudo dexs.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will decentralised exchanges be the future ? on: September 06, 2018, 05:26:00 AM
It will be great to see this happen. The centralized exchanges are danger to the existence of Cryptocurrency. They can be hacked, shut down and the coins can be stolen/seized by criminal or governments. Centralized exchanges are totally against what true cryptocurreny represents. They have no option than to decentralized

Hopefully they account for majority of the trades in the future.

With recent news of Shapeshift's change from a no account to membership account for AML/KYC reasons we can see how government, regulation and law can effect thriving spaces in crypto. More so in the US than in Asia and else where. Gradually self-regulation by legitimate crypto companies will turn into forced regulation which is why centralisation won't work if the goal is a new system that is fair and just.

Seems like its a twitter and telegram only campaign. I see a bit of twitter activity from @Sparkdexdotio, hope it ramps up soon for like and retweet for stakes!

i don't think centralized exchanges are going anywhere or even changing in the future. they may become more secure but that would be about it.
at the same time decentralized exchanges will grow but as an additional option that you can use if you wanted to go that rout and needed the decentralization. but there is still a lot of downsides to them for example you can not trade with fiat on a decentralized exchange, it still remains easier to use  centralized ones for that matter.

Good points here. The crypto ecosystem is growing and the platform, services and exchanges will work in the same. One won't take over the other and vice versa. I still think decentralised trading is a cool concept but still a ways to go before it hits the liquidity of centralised exchanges. Enabling Fiat will be a big one in assisting with that.

Yes it will be the future most especially if the government didn't approve the legal of cryptocurrency in future or ban it,most traders will move to decentralized exchange.

This is true. Legal and government threat will push for exchange decentralisation. This could be the biggest impetus for trading decentralised.

A decentralized trading platform can limit the risk of losing money to investors because the capital remains in your wallet, not your wallet. However, the limitation is that order matching and processing speed are not as fast as those of binance, bittrex.


Are you sure ? bitshares can handle the speed of the nasdaq and 100,000 trades per second. for decentralised that's epic.

Have been searching for decentralised exchanges to trade on for security reasons after watching Andreas M. Antonopoulos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi_jaw0dT9M .
So far the Bitshares DEX has been the most liquid and what seems as truly p2p but other Ethereum based dexs are potentially good also. Will DEXs really be the future ? Or will centralised exchanges slowly become decentralised.

As shared with previous posters, you will be overwhelmed with ICO sites when you google them. So, in order to determine how legitimate the site is, I search their traffic in https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo I wouldn't say the most traffic is the key for the legitimacy, I believe it will give a bit of trust.

Nice hack. I like to use https://www.twitteraudit.com/ to verify the following of twitter accounts for ICO's. Crazy how many are payed but not surprising.
