I still do not understand the current obsession with regulating Bitcoin. They claim it's to help put an end to online money laundering and other cyber crimes but why aren't they equally obsessed about Fiat?
What if there are hidden agendas, like phasing out paper currencies, forcefully uniting all countries and handover control to more evil entity? I have some paper money on me that I can EASILY use to buy some harmful drugs and weapons yet no Northkorea-like government is monitoring how I spend this money. A responsible government would rather be where the stuff are purchased and help solving crimes. Trying hard to Police everything (without caring a bit about the word "privacy") is a sign of desperation & tyranny. I learned they are working hard to phase out cash for their cashless agenda. I bet over 70% of World governments will adopt the cashless thing too.
I have never used a Debit card online not that I don't understand it .. it instead doesn't feel safe to me. My adoption of online currency started when I discovered Bitcoin. Bitcoin/Blockchain is the only thing that makes sense & feels natural to me. Wonder why they are now trying hard to rewrite Bitcoin with some rogue codes.

So I Googled the origin of the words " Third World" and this is what I found;
A Third World country is a country whose views are not aligned with NATO and capitalism or the Soviet Union and communism. The use of the term "Third World" started during the Cold War and was used to identify which of three categories the countries of the world aligned with.
What is the meaning?

Let me avoid the technical aspects to make things easy for all readers.
So someone said that America's NSA has this great computer(quantum computer) that could easily hack Bitcoin private keys. I really doubt his claim but I know for sure that certain computers like the most powerful Super Computers are within the reach of some of this Intelligence organizations. Do you think such computers can crack any security codes put in place to make Bitcoin very secure?

To be 100% honest, I do not have any problem with the Altcoin correction except Ethereum. What is happening to Ethereum isn't normal. It makes absolutely no sense. Every single Speculator I know is confused. A lazy schadenfreude Sadist behind a computer maybe responsible for the crash—The Crypto terrorists
It's high time the Crypto people organized themselves, build a sophisticated security network to defend the community and its facilities and track down future cryptocurrency terrorists and thieves. The World is going Virtual. Mark my words, 7years from now people will be building homes, recreation centers and businesses on the Internet(Virtual World), the Physical World may cease to exist in 50yrs. We need to be leaders in this. Let start creating Virtual Defenses/Military Units and highers best security personnel to defend the cryptocurrency facilities from schadenfreude, terrorists and crooks.

$634 (Six hundred and Thirty Four dollars). Found that while going through Altcoin list on coinmarketcap.com
Wonder what the coin is about. I thought Ethereum was next to Bitcoin in Price. Or is it a glitch?

There seems to be lack of Transparency and Accountability in the ICO Altcoin Market..only few people are worried. Guess something should be done quickly else the creepy governments will see it as an opportunity to step in and ruin everything deliberately.. Wish some great Application of some sort can be used to make everything cleaner and safe. It probably will happen but should be sooner than later.

So i was going through some comments on a Facebook post & found something interesting... Someone commented about a Telescope in the Vatican called Lucifer. I immediately searched it on Google and it was indeed true. The Telescope is called LUCIFER (Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Spectroscopic Utility with Camera & Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research). I began to wonder why they choose such acronym. Is that all they can find that is befitting f a Vatican? What is wrong with the World though. Doesn't look like a joke me to me.
It reminds me of a human sacrifice that was caught at CERN(the large Particle collider office) few months ago at 1AM in front of some weird sculpture. Though they claimed it was a prank but doing a prank in such an important facility makes no sense. We all need to be very Vigilant.

Guess this is what the anti-illegal migrants want others to understand.
Laws are laws and should be respected. We should all insist on respect to the laws otherwise evil ones will also take advantage of the lack of respect for our laws.

I have strong feeling S9t0shi Nak9m0t0 is the real name.
If S9t0shi Nak9m0t0 was his aliases and not his real name he probably was working on a secret govt project (Bitcoin) and aware of it.
I have always had the feeling Bitcoin was a secret government project but that changed today...am now certain it isn't government's. That above is most likely his real name. He probably never knew Bitcoin would be so popular.
Whoever he may be he is a wonderful soul and his decision to lay low is for the good of Bitcoin/Blockchain.
Please pardon my use of letters in his names

Have heard Jihan Wu mentioned many times in Crypto Articles but I haven't really find time to research what he ACTUALLY stands for as they usually turn out to be the opposite of what they preach. . So from the link below he delivered a speech at a Bitcoin conference in Netherlands, titled: “Why Multiple Implementations are Quite Important for Bitcoin.” https://news.bitcoin.com/jihan-wu-talks-about-obedience-to-authority-in-the-cryptocurrency-space/Here are 6 points from his Speech I find very interesting: 1. crypto-project founders could potentially be tyrants or dictators. 2. Tyranny crops up partly as a result of human nature, and human tendency to be obedient to authority. There is a readiness for human beings to obey others. (See Stanley Milgram ‘s Obedience to Authority Experiment. https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html ) 3. Humans have inbuilt biases, such as the the Halo Effect. This means that if people have a certain quality or impression, then other contributors and people may be more likely to follow them: the Bandwagon effect. In this psychological effect, people are likely to follow the crowd or follow people merely because they are doing it. All of these are social dynamic effects that everyone in the cryptocurrency ecosystem has to be wary of, lest we end up following a ruler in the form of a developer or programmer. 5. A Crypto Tyrant could wake up one day and decide to alter a code, no one questions the move and he does it multiple times. This is something that has to be watched, even if he/she is the creator. 5. In order to solve this problem of protocol tyranny and hijacked implementations, Wu suggested that for the future of bitcoin to remain beautiful and grow, the community will need multiple implementations. 6. FINALLY. Bitcoin has missed many great innovations, including smart contracts and the creation of decentralized exchanges. a community bitcoin is a little late to the game in regards to innovation. The reason why bitcoin has missed these innovations is because some bitcoiners, trash new innovations by always calling them scammy or leveling other judgmental critiques. Getting the community outside of the follower mentality and convincing them to accept the possibility of innovation through multiple implementations will provide the network and ecosystem with the room to grow and thrive.

My IMF Tweet got Me Banned on Twitter? My Twitter Account https://mobile.twitter.com/Ucybit/ got locked yesterday after I posted a Tweet that kind of mocked an IMF's anti Cryptocurrency Article. I got a warning from Twitter few hours later about some suspicious activity on my account and was prompted to change my password. I guess Twitter sent a code to my phone and email address to verify I was the real owner of the Account but I have received no code on either of them so far. I tried resending it several times yet nothing. I may end up getting a new Account

Lightening Network is a Trap?
Just finished reading about Lightening Network on the Internet, to be frank, am not comfortable with what I just saw. Am beginning to think that Lightening Network is a Government tool or idea to have total control of all Bitcoin.
My questions: 1. Seems like only Signed Contract will be passing through Lightening Network and not the Bitcoin itself, right?
2. Will government be able to cease people's Bitcoin after implementation of lightening Network if they wish to?
3. Is Lightning Network implementation mandatory or just optional?
Here are what am sure will happen if Lightening Network is mandatory:
* Government will be able to Monitor all Bitcoin transaction.
* Every single Bitcoin company will be forced to obtain license before using the Network
* Finally, Government can able to stop all Bitcoin transaction any time & as long as they want.

Most Bitcoin critics often cite crime as reason for wanting Bitcoin obliterated. I doubt crime is the real reason. . It could well just be a subconscious thing they have no control over:: like Hatred for the weak, poor and middle class, Preference for elitism, fascism and dictatorship,
PROOF: Tools like VPNs and Proxies almost have thesame capability as Bitcoin but you hardly hear the complain about them.
To be honest, most people with this weird ideology don't really have problems with people becoming financially independent . Their problem is just the FREEDOM money brings to people. They wouldn't give a damn about your wealth so long as you are totally under their control.

I read Blockchain is the future of voting which will make national elections impossible to hack. Wonder why no one has created a coin for the Blockchain Voting yet. Is it not profitable? Or are some powerful people suppressing it? I Googled "Altcoin for Elections" no single Altcoin has been created so far. Maybe someone reading this would be inspired to create one. I bet loads of Investors will participate.

Maybe lots of influential NAZIS survived the second World War, learned from their mistakes and decided to conquer the World through soft power and deception. They infiltrate Political parties. Destabilize countries. Take over Nations one after another(they successfully conquered mine last two years). Trying hard this time around to conquer Russia but meet very stiff resistance.
Reason why I think the NAZIS are in charged:
1. Today liberal elites have insatiable appetite for power and domination. I don't understand why some would want to overrun other countries despite having very large and excellent countries under them... what is wrong with people?
2 Today's liberal elites are very intolerant of Christianity just like Hitler. I read NAZIS took down crosses from schools and other public buildings during their reign. Hitler didn't have lots of problem with vicious religions. Obama literally dethroned my President who never joked with rule of law and democracy in place of very brutal old fashioned Islamists who swore to turn the whole country(with 50% Christains and 50% Muslims) into a Muslim Sharia country.
3. They dwell on lies and propaganda.
4. They are extremely divisive
5. They control the Media
6. They hate Jews.
I still doubt their obsession for other countries is about control of Mineral resources which a simple negotiations can help solve. Wonder if this people have emotions or think about life after death

I honestly think Bitcoin isn't decentralized enough considering that government still controls the Internet and can easily censor or shut them down (is this even possible?) anytime. The move by government to make us go cashless by gradually phasing out cash is even more worrisome, could make them have absolute control over us. We need some sort of decentralized "physical Bitcoin" that doesn't depend on the Internet and can be exchanged for online Bitcoin. It is too risky not to have offline alternatives to Bitcoin to act as backup plan for online Bitcoin in case something big goes wrong.
Pls I need to know something, Is it possible to exchange Bitcoin with other people without being connected to the Internet? Let say the government bans the Internet and you have your Bitcoin offline(in cold storage right?), can you exchange the Bitcoin to the next person by simply transferring some Bitcoin from cold storage to his/her computer, phone or even data storage devices(like SD Card, USB, Hard drive etc)? If this is possible then no need for the "Physical Bitcoin"

Hackers group Anonymous claims US space agency NASA is about to announce the discovery of intelligent alien life. “NASA says aliens are coming! ” the group wrote on their website. Anonymous’ claim is based on a number of recent NASA discoveries coupled with comments made by one of the agency’s spokesmen during a congressional hearing titled ‘Advances in the Search for Life,’ in April. Professor Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, told the hearing that NASA’s recent advances, such as the discovery of hydrogen in Saturn’s moon Enceladus and the Hubble team’s promising results from the oceans of Jupiter’s moon, Europa, are promising signs that we’re closer than ever to discovering evidence of alien life. https://www.rt.com/viral/393965-anonymous-nasa-discover-aliens/
