I was looking for bounty chat in a telegram today because I did not have time to buy coins during ICO and I could not take part in the bounty.
Since I haven't any coins, I really want to buy cheap from bounty hunters on the exchange. I started looking for a group to find out when the bounty will be distributed.
Well, guess what? In this bounty chat, there were a lot of real investors who asked: "When will the payment for the bounty to participants?" I used to think that these repetitive questions are asked by the participants themselves.
 And you, too, do this when you want to buy a cheap coin after ICO?

Now strange things are happening.
On the one hand, cryptocurrencies are decentralized assets. This attracted many here. What do we see today? Many exchanges, ICO's ask for your documents to establishing the identity.
The government is trying to tax all transactions. But to tell you the truth, the government has nothing to do with it at all. Why do I have to pay taxes on cryptocurrency transactions? Therefore, I no longer understand where this limit of incognito and where declaring of incomes begins.
Yes, I understand .... weapons, drugs. But they were before the advent of cryptocurrency and they will always be.
In terms of security - here, too, not everything is clear. The government wants to get taxes. OK. But they don't want to protect us from hackers or scammers. Maybe make some sort of insurance. That is, it is some kind of collapse. On the one hand, we are obliged to pay income tax from 25 to 56% (in different countries in different ways). But on the other side what do we get in return? Nothing, just nothing, zero, emptiness.
What are your thoughts?

How do you think the country, in which have been invented and released the coin, is related to the nationality of investors?
Let's say that the Chinese invest in NEO (and the Japanese do not invest at all). Ether is more invested by the Russians. What do you think? Yes, these coins are been bought by everyone. But is there any connection between the country of origin and investments?

For example, I'm very proud when someone from my country comes up with some kind of cool idea and then incarnates in life.

Today, the Bank of Spain Banko Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) issued the first loan in world history using the blockchain technology.

This is now being discussed by all bankers in different countries. The loan amount is 75 million euro.
Today read in Financial Times "Financial Times BBVA issues corporate loan using blockchain".

Bitfinex wrote in a twitter " We are pleased to announce trading is now live on our first pair, BTC/EUR. It will have an introductory fee discount of 15%."
And this is against the background of the fall of the Tether. What do you think of it? Clarity in the affairs of Tether is still not there. I do not like it, to be honest.
