I highly doubt this will happen in our lifetime, but who really knows.  However, governments always like to maintain a level of control--thus I don't see banks moving away anytime soon.

Highly doubt it.  There's absolutely no incentive for Nakamoto to emerge at this point, considering the initial reason was for anonymity.  The only incentive now is for fame; but considering that Nakamoto never wanted fame in the first place, then there's no reason for him/her to do so right now.  Unless it was to make some sort of significant impact on the world if it was under significant crisis.

I strongly believe this will forever remain one of Earth's greatest mysteries, unless there's some way a future descendant reveals who Nakamoto really was.

 

hi

It's true that there's a huge saturation of alt coins in the market now, which is devaluting a lot of them.  It's hard to say which coins will gain in value in the future; sometimes you never know.

I hope to get out of this newbie status...

I hope it happens; Paypal is an internationally recognized brand.

a lot of CNC pools seem to disappear or go offline...

 

I'd love to use them more often, but they have become quite expensive 

hello!
