well i think because some governments and banks are being scared of bitcoin because they think that the bitcoin is not a good quaternary for them. Some banks think that the bitcoin is a scam because of some news that the bitcoin is has been scam and why banks and governments are afraid of bitcoin is that they know that technology from blockchain is better than systems owned by deal-related banks so they are afraid of losing customers because if all the customers are aware of this they will start switching to bitcoin and blockchain technology. Banks and governments have worked together to boost the country's reconstruction and with government bitcoins feeling threatened because they can not control the movement of bitcoin prices so they do not benefit from every transaction

Always Use a Trading Plan
A trading plan is a written set of rules that specifies a trader's entry, exit and money management criteria. Using a trading plan allows traders to do this, although it is a time consuming endeavor.

Protect Your Trading Capital
Saving money to fund a trading account can take a long time and much effort. It can be even more difficult (or impossible) the next time around. It is important to note that protecting your trading capital is not synonymous with not having any losing trades.

Long term is very ideal for person that is not good at short term trading. Because not all traders are good in analyzing but it can be learn but i think long term is much safer in most of the newbies. I know some newbies are always trying new ways to earn and sometimes they ended up trying trading for the first time and some of them lose. If you want to have a safe investment then try long term trading just don't forget to analyze and watch the market carefully because there are some dumps that would happen.

I will tell you a bit of my experience playing with atlcoin from 2014. we have to pay attention to the risk is to maximize profit or we will go bankrupt. why do I say so? because the movement of altcoin is very fluctuating. we can not guess the price that will be through it any how, but we can estimate the price will be naiik or down. for altcoin andqa trading should have some capital large enough to avoid losses. in choosing altcoin also you should really know about the dev altcoin. I'm not saying that altcoin trade is always profitable, but if you can pick a good coin and read a candle chart well then the profits will often be obtained

I think, that BTC it`s too stable to invest in him now. I think, that it`s better to invest in altcoins. They are more perspective, than BTC and can amke big profits. But you need to find the good and it isn`t easy. I can help with it, cause I know one. It`s TraceTo. I think, that it`s profitable for some reasons. First reason - it`s in demand. Systems like this are in deficit and companies need to verify, so they will invest in this. Second reason - good crew. This project was developed by experienced team, which works many years on this field. If you want to earn - you can invest in it.

From the look of things,legendary members do not need merits anymore.That is to say,it does not affect them in anyway.But they are those that are currently being given the higher number of merits by others. Hardly will you see a newbie or a jnr member being given a merit so far.Well,the merit system just started and we cant jump to conclusion how the trend will be.But i foresee that lower ranked members will struggle to get merits. I must say that this is an important check system that has been put in place,but i see myself being a newbie for another year or two. Grin Grin Grin

My least favorite now is coinexchange.io Angry
They charge too much in withdrawal fees.

Will go with the bigger ones like a bittrex or a poloniex next time.

Atleast you know they have a stable withdrawal fee when removing your coins off their sites.
This is more important then amount of volume of a coin and how many coins they have available to trade with.
This is my personal opinion and might not be the same things others desire in choosing which exchange they choose to go with.

If this would happen in all country all kfc branch will accept bitcoin as a payment method this will be a time that the value of bitcoin will rise. But I don't think buying food in lieu of bitcoin is not a wise idea because we all know that bitcoin vaue is not stable and maybe in future the price of 1 bucket of chicken today in bitcoin vs the price of 5 bucket in future might be equal price in terms of bitcoin.

Personally, I will be looking at the situation of this project first. If the project that I participated has a potential in the future and have a working product, I prefer to Hold my reward than dumping on the market and wait a right moment to sell it...
But if the project that I participate doesn't have a potential and without working product (fail/useless) I prefer to dump my reward than Hold...

As in medicine, there is a permanent university of knowledge in cryptography, a bank of scientific discoveries is being replenished, innovations are being developed, and accordingly training of new personnel is necessary. This is necessary in order for ongoing development. After all, without development there can be no movement in all fields of science. Therefore, in order to develop in the field of cryptography, I think it is just necessary to constantly learn, learn all the innovations and replenish our knowledge.

Yes, I also think bitcoin will remain as the strongest altcoin for long, but there are a couple of things that I am not so sure:

a) I don't think the bitcoin price can achieve that huge price above $5000 or $10000

b) And of course it is undoubted that in future years all these digital technologies will advance and perhaps our current altcoins will be considered as rudimentary technologies.

why ICO is long time Huh

hmm.. i think why ICO is going in long time ?
because, when is going in a long time is possible to take more investor for buying them coin.
and when coin is sold out the ICO and Bounty is Success and is so possibly to be a great coin and the coin have a future.
but, i know not all of ICO in a long time is success but the person is better than short time.
that is my opion, im not sure but i think like that.

I would state that bitcoin is number one in everything that you have said with the exception of in security and exchange speed. This is something that could be talked about on the grounds that bitcoin isn't so private any longer as is utilized to be at the begininig and there are some different coins that are before it, as Monero. Be that as it may, on each other element it has such a large number of preferences that right now no other coin can't have its spot.

with the numerous icos popping out everywhere, touching every technology there is, it is quite hard to determine the ones that are worth the risk from the others. as for me, one of he best way to do before you decide on which ico to invest in is to research about the ico, know the people behind it and check its technology; if it is realistic and can be used by a lot of people. Moreover, you also have to read its whitepaper so you will also have an idea on their plan.

I was kind of amazed by the exchange of ideas here.

Well, for me, evolution remains to be a theory, yes, just that, a theory, until now. I don't know how Charles Darwin became a celebrity scientist right after he theorized that what we are now are different centuries and centuries ago. Perhaps because his idea was sort of radically new? The discovery actually caused a bandwagon mentality among a lot people. The entire world was stirred by his claim. Established religion was terribly shaken to its core. School curricula are challenged. The people's comfort zone was rendered uncomfortable. 

It is most unlikely ETH would ever overtake the price of BTC. As a store of value Bitcoin is hold the highest rank among the all crypto . ETH on the other hand is a platform which is used t create smart contract. So ETH is doesn't really competing with Bitcoin. But the market cap/share for platforms are getting distributed among other kind of block chains like EOS,NEO,ADA,Wan chain,etc. So even though ETH is holding the market leadership in smart contract platforms in future there will be a serious competition. S the market cap would definitely get reduces.
But on the other hand Bitcoin it slef has problems like scalability , slow transaction speed, small block size, etc But as asset people would still invest in bitcoin even thought it would be used as a currency. It is more like you invest in Gold rather than keeping your money as a currency.
So personally i would never say that ETH would ever overtake the price of Bitcoin

Once again folks, "tax" is a word which means payment.  A governing body runs a restaurant, an owner, manager, and their govorning structure.  If you eat there you will be presented with a tariff, tax, bill, check, list of damages.  etc.  If you choose to pay or not depends on if you are happy with the goods and services you received there. 

I'm not sure what's so complicated about this arrangement that you are arguing about. 

If there is a specific company / organization / corporation and you are asking about why we pay them, please name it,  Otherwise this entire thread is nonsense.     

Facing the trouble in the bounty campaign is usually happen and I have joined many bounty campaign was scam and not get the payment and some campaign bounty I participated was got the coin but their website of ico and dev was scam many investor and the price of ico very low. But I don’t think about all it where the campaign of bounty ico is scam, I try to another bounty campaign and try many more bounty campaign to keep for get one the best ico bounty, will be have good price of this ico bounty for the payment in the end of bounty campaign.

If you put your money in a bank it's going to be safe as long as the bank doesn't go under but you won't gain a lot. Just crypto is more risky if we do not understand in the world of crypto of risk, the cryptocurrency is definitely higher than the risk of bank investment, but in terms of rate of return, the cryptocurrency is definitely higher, depending on whether you dare to take risks. But they give you total guarantee your money is safe and the interest is guaranteed as well.

Generally speaking and without strictly confining the word 'gambling', I would say traders are also gamblers. It is because as you have earlier said, when you trade, you are against your own because you are in control. But you know, let me strike that one down because you really do not fully control the effects of trading. What you can only control is when to trade but other than that, you are already subjected to the inevitable. Hence, that to me is already gambling- gambling in the hopes of multiplying your wealth.
