re: cuteman please, cut the crap! If we read your laudatory thread you started here 7 month ago and consider the situation now (not a single person has received the product, dead phone, non-responsive email, fake address) then there is a question: why do you protect Asicvault? Are you part of the scam? And concerning the previous scams of Asicvault's CEO the updates will be coming soon
Hey, i have not any single connection with them. And where did you see that i protected them?? I started the thread in January because I wanted to buy that appliance, and wanted confirmation from other people before buying. I did not buy because I saw no reviews from people who bought. And only in June somebody responded that thier office is closed. I don't mind if you share the stories about the Asicvault's CEO scams, I hate scammers. I just said that I could not find such stories on the web, but if you know them - welcome to share!

Bitcoin Could be ‘First Worldwide Currency’: NYSE Owner
The chief executive of the company that owns and operates the world’s largest stock exchange believes that bitcoin has the potential to be the world’s “first worldwide currency,” and he’s throwing his firm’s weight behind an ambitious plan to make that a reality.
As CCN reported, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) — owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) — is forming a new company, dubbed Bakkt, that seeks to bridge the divide between Wall Street, Main Street, and the flagship cryptocurrency.
Speaking with Fortune, ICE founder, Chairman, and CEO Jeffrey Sprecher explained that he believes that — bolstered by Bakkt’s infrastructure — bitcoin could become the currency of choice for global payments.
”Bitcoin would greatly simplify the movement of global money,” said Sprecher. “It has the potential to become the first worldwide currency.”
The move will see ICE not only launch a physically-settled bitcoin futures product but also custody cryptoassets directly and help merchants such as Starbucks — which has already signed onto the platform as a partner — accept digital assets such as bitcoin for everyday payments.
Sprecher says that it could also help conventional asset managers attract younger investors, who are sometimes as skeptical of traditional financial products as asset managers are of bitcoin. “Millennials don’t trust traditional financial institutions. To gain their trust, banks, brokerages, and asset managers can use a currency that millennials believe in, like Bitcoin. Using digital currencies brings a lot of sizzle,” he told Fortune.
“There is a trend here we can’t ignore in my mind, so I don’t discount it,” he said. “People put more faith in a guy named Satoshi Nakamoto that no one has ever met than they do in the US Fed.”

Chart from 2014, when Bitcoin was $300. Next milestone on chart: $100k in summer 2021. And next: $1M in 2027.  Keep in mind that based on the chart BTC price should be around $21k at the end of this year - which is not quite unlikely

. It is highly unlikely that crypto market will be filled with continuous bitcoin demand until it costs $ 1 million.
Yeah, bitcoin needs mass adoption to reach those levels. Currently it has limited use, indeed. As BLOOMBERG has stated recently: Bitcoin is being used less and less as a currency. After peaking at $411 million in September, only $60 million was spent on goods and services in May. These numbers come from the 17 largest crypto merchant-processing services. The number rebounded a bit in June – to $69 million – but it is a far drop from the same time last year

their phone is off or autoresponder, their address indicated at heir webpage is not real, they do not respond e-mails.
Do you think they were scamming from the beginning, or they just were not able to keep with the pace of the product's development? Got some feedback from Estonia and Latvia on Asicvault. There has been at least five similar scams generated by Asicvault's CEO Hando Eilsen. Tens of his partners and investors have lost money investing in his "100 times better" or even "1000 times better" schemes: search engines, internet casinos etc, and the wallet here (hopefully some relevant court cases will be available for me soon). But the worst thing is that Asicvault proceeds with selling non-existent product and tricking people into buying it. Judging by the previous schemes I guess the point here for Asicvault is to get money from new investors. That's why they still try to suppress any negative statement in social media and show the bogus as a real product. Maybe the Asicvault team believes it can pull through with the new money and finally release the product - but in fact they are just packing the pockets of a notorious scammer. what a shame... But if fact i see no confirmations of his scam activily in the internet. If it was, there would be stories about him, won't they?

Iqbal Gandham, managing director at eToro, says that unscientific surveys conducted by eToro in the U.K. suggest that few investors that heard about bitcoin during its mainstream upsurge in 2017 actually invested in cryptos. “We had a lot of people talk the talk but very few people walked the walk,” Gandham said. Many crypto bulls shares this rosy outlook, including Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson via Twitter:

Again, if they really want it they will find a way, just look at what they did to gold, at first fiat was completely backed by gold and then the government began printing more money than the gold they had in stock since at the time the dollar was defined by a weight on gold, in fact the word dollar was a form of weight for gold similar to pounds or kilograms, but they circumvented this by printing more fiat, it is possible that in the future governments get bitcoin and back their fiat with it and then they print more fiat than the bitcoin they have in store.
Bitcoin is completely decentralized, and gold is not, as historically governments keep a lot of gold in reserves, and they can manipulate it somehow. Nevetheless gold price has risen last decades because of printing money. If governments decide to manipulate bitcoin, they will first need to buy it at a significant volume - wich will cause a huge rise in it's price. Not an easy task for them

Writing on Twitter, Mark Yusko, the founder of North Carolina-based Morgan Creek Capital Management, said that he is sticking by his year-end price target of $25,000. Yusko originally made this prediction in April, adding that he expects bitcoin to march to $75,000 by 2020, $200,000 by 2022, and ultimately eclipse $500,000 by the end of 2024.

Hedge fund manager Mark Yusko said bitcoin could hit $500,000 per coin by 2024.
Last October, Yusko predicted that the bitcoin price could one day reach $1 million per coin, though he said that he did not expect BTC to hit this milestone for at least a decade.
Yusko believes bitcoin will see such incredible growth because of the network effect, a theory that a communications network becomes more valuable as it on boards more users.
Commenting on bitcoin’s recent price movements, Yusko said that daily fluctuations are “just noise” because “all that matters is securing ownership of the [Bitcoin] Network.”
