You need to get used to the idea that a decentralized cryptocurrency is not needed by states. Although they legalize it, they will not actively support it. Cryptocurrency is indeed a competitor and alternative to the national money of states, and therefore, from time to time, governments will regulate and restrict its circulation. This is inevitable and should be treated more calmly. We will need to defend our rights to use cryptocurrency at the legislative level.
1322  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Winter Is Coming, Warns Experts on: June 27, 2021, 01:45:11 PM
The situation in the cryptocurrency market is really difficult now. It seems that everything may depend on the preponderance of positive or negative news information in the near future. I don’t think we’re in crypto winter yet. First, too little time has passed to draw such a conclusion. Secondly, we see that bitcoin periodically rises well in price, resisting bears. Of course, it is difficult for the market to struggle now in these summer months, when business activity is traditionally declining in almost all markets. However, all is not lost. The cryptocurrency market is still able to rise and there is hope in this regard for the autumn period.

I don't think that there would be a second resurrection of dogecoin. The only reason why it is valuable now is because of a celebrity billionaire who decided he can make the coin his own toy. Maybe you can try to wait for the price of the said coin to go back to its original price for a long time before and see if you can wait around 6 to 8 years before another high will occur. But I doubt that will happen I mean the lowering of the price. DOGE is highly controlled by a few wallet holders now and they can control the price if they want to perhaps.
It is hardly worth hoping for another dizzying soar in the price of Dogecoin. Elon Musk, due to his ill-considered statements about cryptocurrency, has recently lost his popularity in the world of cryptocurrency. Even if he praises Dogecoin again, I don't think the result will be the same. In addition, the excitement can only be temporary and the result of its action as well. It is almost impossible to repeat the same result. Therefore, after a certain time, this coin will also go to where it was before for many years before it was raised by Elon Musk.
1324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee is dead, are his coins lost? on: June 25, 2021, 02:19:29 PM
The last info that we have regarding his riches is that it was seized or that it was gone due to some bad investments. I’m sure he still have some crypto in his stash, but even if the law enforcement finds it, they would not be able to access it at all. Perhaps consider it lost in the void just like any other stashes out there that have been lost due to forgotten passwords or drive failure.
I don't think John McAfee had any decent amounts of money at the time of his death, including in cryptocurrency. Among his most recent tweets, he stated that he had no money left. Some of them were actually confiscated by the relevant US authorities. One might not believe him, but the very fact of his suicide after that indicates that this time he seems to have told the truth. Due to the lack of money, he did not see a positive way out of this situation. Considering that he was already 75 years old, he clearly imagined that he would never get out alive. Therefore, I decided to take such a step.
1325  Other / Off-topic / Re: John McAfee Found Dead in Spanish Cell After Extradition Announcement on: June 24, 2021, 03:54:07 AM
It is a pity that it happened. McAfee occasionally amused us with his sometimes silly jokes. He reminded me of a clown in cryptocurrency. Committing suicide has always been regarded as one of the worst possible solutions to a problem. This is just an escape from the problem, and especially negative attitude has always been on the part of the church.
McAfee hid from the US authorities for a long time, I think that by a series of his stupid actions he himself exacerbated the situation to such an extreme degree. Well, each of us has the right to choose and we are all responsible for our actions.
1326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Dumps to $32K as China’s Bank Announced a Ban on Crypto Usage on: June 24, 2021, 03:39:46 AM
" It is worth noting that the Agricultural Bank of China is actually working on the national digital currency and has conducted several experiments to launch it. "  Roll Eyes

So you ban other digital currencies to eliminate the competition to your own digital currency that are under development. I really feel sorry for the Chinese citizens that are supporting a government like that.  Sad  

This mentality borders on a type of Stockholm syndrome, where the victim grow feelings towards their captors. This is something that the Western world cannot understand and most people would expect something different from a civilization that are more than 5,000 years old.  
Yes, on the eve of the official launch of its digitized yuan, the Chinese authorities decided to clear the way for it and remove possible competitors from the financial market. Cryptocurrency is the most unpredictable in this regard. Therefore, this reaction was quite expected. Do not expect the Chinese government to suddenly change its attitude towards cryptocurrency in a positive direction. This will never happen. Governments will work out their own financial mechanisms that they can control. Cryptocurrency miners need to leave China so that this problem is not a constant source of negative information.
1327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Many great things are banned, censored or restricted in China. If China wants to on: June 24, 2021, 03:21:00 AM

If China wants to crackdown Bitcoin mining activities, miners will go elsewhere. This is actually a good thing for cryptocurrencies, as it shouldn’t be under a decentralised centralised, power-obsessed regime. China can play with its digital yuan.

That's what I have been saying since China banned bitcoin mining. It's a net positive! China's dominance over bitcoin mining must end for the greater good of the bitcoin mining community. Whatever impact you are seeing, is temporary and not going to hurt us for a long time. But at least it will be free from an authoritarian regime which goes a long way cleaning up ticks from the network. China has their own version of almost everything and they should be happy with centralized digital yuan.
I also wanted to say exactly this. It is necessary to solve this problem once and for all. Miners must leave China or simply stop mining cryptocurrency there. Then there will be no constant feeding of this bad news. There are a lot of good, even the best, places on our planet for mining bitcoins and crypto-friendly governments. Otherwise, it all came together right on this China. Half-time measures lead to a constant source of negativity from China. Finally, remove the miners from your territory. We can do without China.
1328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holding and taking profits on: June 22, 2021, 08:23:37 PM
The basic rule of a cryptocurrency market participant is to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price. I think that no one will dispute this. However, it is very difficult to determine the time when the market is at the top of the price point or at the price bottom. Therefore, we will always make mistakes. I exchanged my tokens for 11 ethereum last year when this coin was priced at $ 230. When ethereum began to rise in price at the beginning of this year along with the general growth of the cryptocurrency market, I exchanged several ethereum as it grew several times, but then I stopped doing this, seeing that it continued to rise in value. Of course, I also hoped for a continuation of the bull market beyond May, given that the next stages of the ethereum network update were planned in July and October. I think that many were in the same situation, who became observers of the rise in the ethereum price over $ 4,400, and then the current deep fall. Only beginners differ in that they panic now and sell cryptocurrency at a loss. I am sure that I will soon wait for the ethereum price of $ 5,000 or more.
1329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: June 22, 2021, 07:46:51 PM
only the popes could say everything so easily. we can't say for sure whether the bullrun will continue to run until the end of the year in a balanced pattern or will soon enter a sharper bearish line.
depending on how strong the extrinsic pressure developed between the whales. as long as the market shows price excitement then there are always crazy traps designed to collect huge amounts of Bitcoin. me
I no longer see the possibility of even recovering the cryptocurrency market until the fall. In recent days, the price of bitcoin and especially ethereum has started to fall threateningly again. The ethereum price fell below $ 1,900 today. It seems that the whales are still short. And in this case, they will squeeze out of the frightened and doubting everyone, as much as possible, so that they sell their cryptocurrency at a lower price. Therefore, it is better to relax and pay more attention to summer, family and nature. In the fall, if possible, we should see a second wave of price growth.
1330  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and happiness. on: June 21, 2021, 03:40:50 AM
We live in a material world and, of course, we need money to satisfy our material needs. They say happiness is not in money, but in their quantity. If we do not have enough money, we sometimes have to get a job that does not bring us moral satisfaction, we have to live and work in worse conditions, poor quality food, not full rest, which ultimately affects our health. Well, in general, everyday problems with a lack of money take up a lot of time from us, which we could spend on spiritual development. Therefore, money is important for any person.
1331  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Money Need Competition To Flourish on: June 21, 2021, 03:28:09 AM
No, I don't think that money needs any competition because it's not an organism, it's just a tool that is used to do transactions in exchange for services or products. The value of money is dependent on the growth of the country and not competition, competition will only lead to deflation, remember that if there are chocies, the lowest price is going to be one's that will be favored and that's the opposite of flourishing.
The national currency of any state, in principle, does not need competition. To thrive, it needs competent management of the country's economy, which also includes monetary policy. If the country is strong economically, then its national currency will easily compete with other currencies of states.
Cryptocurrency, of course, needs good and healthy competition to accelerate its development. This will stimulate her improvement.
1332  Economy / Economics / Re: Why don't banks work with cryptocurrency? on: June 21, 2021, 03:15:01 AM
Banks is centralized and a partner of the government  who doesn't have any control over digital currency which is decentralized.  So, I don't think if one day banks will work with cryptocurrency. If ever it will happen , then it's good for us. It's more likely that government will also legalize the digital currency.
Even commercial banks operate on the basis of strict instructions from regulatory authorities. Banks cannot decide on their own whether to work with cryptocurrency or not. First of all, cryptocurrency must be legalized by the state. Then, after the adoption of the relevant laws, by-laws should be created that would detail the work with cryptocurrency, including detailed instructions for banks. Only after that banks will be able to work with cryptocurrency within the framework of the rights granted to them.
1333  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-06-11] New bank rules restrain and recognise crypto on: June 18, 2021, 03:28:03 PM
In my opinion, it is no secret to anyone that states and their governments are mostly suspicious, if not hostile, of decentralized cryptocurrency. Many states are just looking at it so far, not knowing how to react to this financial innovation. At the same time, we must be aware that even with the legalization of cryptocurrency, states will at least implement its strict regulation. However, even the strict regulation of cryptocurrency should be regarded as a positive result, since at the same time it will be legalized and taken by state structures under their protection from various crimes and abuses in this area.
1334  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you investing in crypto currency alone? on: June 17, 2021, 06:31:00 AM
Not many countries have made available stimulus package for its citizens to help soften the economic effects of the pandemic.
With many nations of the world still recovering from the economic realities caused by the pandemic, how will you describe the economic situation in your country at the moment?

I am curious, Apart from your crypto Holdings, what other investments do you have? Or are you investing in crypto alone?
Cryptocurrency is a relatively new market and a new type of financial investment of your funds. I personally am not one hundred percent sure that this market will not collapse overnight, even if just for a long time.
Therefore, I consider it correct to make alternative investments. Part I invest in the modernization of real estate, and part of the deposit in the bank.
My government is still cheerfully informing that this year it expects a good percentage of economic development, but I do not believe in that. In practice, almost every family either lost their jobs during this time, or their business, or suffered other material losses due to the coronavirus pandemic.
1335  Economy / Economics / Re: Is money the root of all evil as the poor to thinks? on: June 17, 2021, 05:04:36 AM
Money is a management tool; it is neither good nor bad. However, money is directly related to property, and property obliges it to be smartly managed. The poor are sometimes not ready to take on the responsibility of managing their property and therefore sometimes prefer seeming freedom without this property, hence the false notion that money is evil. It is better for them to consider money as evil and not have unnecessary obligations to society.
1336  Economy / Economics / Re: Own a house or rent one? Quick survey! on: June 17, 2021, 04:51:36 AM
I think that a lot depends on how profitable the loan you specified in your country is. If the terms of the loan are acceptable, then I would choose a loan from these two options. Let me explain why: when you make a loan and rent a house, you still pay your money, although the rent is four times cheaper. However, by paying off the loan, you are actually acquiring the house as your own property. And no matter how much you pay the rent, the house is still not yours. There is also a third option: pay rent and collect money for the house. Everything here needs to be calculated, as well as other circumstances should be taken into account - reliability and prospects of work, family and other circumstances.
1337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holding 5 years a just a imagination on: June 16, 2021, 08:34:47 PM


we keep the coins at least 5 years , but its too long imagination.  you can proof it. 2018 early NEM coin was top 6 Marketcap now 56. so keeping its useless. we have to updated everytime and get the action the correct time and exit.


Now i think bear market is going on , so holding for 4,5 years just a imagination. specially i have to say that TOP 5 coins , we must keep  most probebly they will surpass the All time high again.

what all your perspectives?

 
Cryptocurrency is developing very quickly and therefore its long-term storage always requires at least periodic control over the state of the market and cryptocurrencies that are in our wallets. In five years, almost any top cryptocurrency can fall in popularity. It can be stated that we are going to keep certain types of coins or tokens for many years, but this does not mean at all that we cannot change our mind at any time based on a specific market situation. This is quite realistic and logical.
1338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: General Motors May Start Accepting Bitcoin If There's Customer Demand on: June 16, 2021, 07:35:26 PM
General Motors CEO Mary Barra told CNBC on Wednesday that "nothing is stopping" her company from accepting Bitcoin payments:
"There's nothing that precludes us from doing that. We'll be driven by our customers."
Barra claims that GM is trying to "simplify" its customers' shopping experience and ownership.
In February, after Tesla bought $ 1.5 billion worth of bitcoin, Barra said her company would evaluate bitcoin acceptance.


Source: https://u.today/general-motors-may-start-accepting-bitcoin-if-theres-customer-demand-says-ceo-mary-barra

I am very surprised to see such statement is coming from Mary. The risk appetite of GM is not good. They are always scared about exploring new markets and don't have the capability to stay in a market for a long time if challenges are thrown to them. They always try to avoid risks. So such statement about accepting bitcoin is either a gimmick or her personal preference. I will be shocked if GM actually starts accepting bitcoin as one of their payment methods.
The good news is that Elon Musk's statements about accepting bitcoins as a means of payment for the purchase of Tesla electric cars made other large companies think about this issue. If General Motors follows suit, the chain reaction could continue. At the same time, Elon Musk has already raised the problem of the quantity and quality of energy consumed by bitcoin. This problem, due to its significant urgency, will not disappear by itself. States and their governments will gladly embrace and expand this topic. Therefore, Bitcoin will need to decide something and change, otherwise it can significantly lose its position.
1339  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-04-27]New Cloud Technology-Based Cryptocurrency Challenging Bitcoin on: June 15, 2021, 05:15:50 PM
Well, folks, we are now in 2021. and this "fishy", "creepy", "shady", "shitty" non-blockchain project is still going on, even pretty fine. They are talking now about 800 servers support with mainnet coin and cross-chain token with 68M market cap.
How are you?
No one will be able to stop technical progress. As science and technology develop, everything will improve. We see that bitcoin also has a number of disadvantages, so it is quite logical that people are looking for alternative ways to improve the cryptocurrency. We also see that something new is constantly emerging in cryptocurrency. Even we on this forum hardly manage to keep track of all the new processes that take place in it. Therefore, it is quite possible that over time, a cryptocurrency will appear that will far exceed the capabilities of bitcoin.
1340  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Gains by Country (from Chainanalysis) on: June 15, 2021, 04:24:06 PM
I feel like Indian's must've been massively underreported. I guess this data comes from exchanges as mining profits would likely see China, sweden and Iceland higher up (or on the list).

I'd put most of the nordics at least around 0.2bn.

I imagine this data could probably be cross compiled with node by country information to determine a more accurate figure?
I was surprised by two points on this list: the first, that with such a gap in the profit from bitcoin, US citizens with a size of $ 4.4 billion are occupied, and the second - that such an accurate calculation is generally possible. Many did not believe at all that states could calculate the general income of citizens from bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, as well as determine the amount they should pay as tax. Thus, governments can take a general response in the event that citizens do not pay taxes on cryptocurrency activities. It turned out to be impossible to hide your cryptocurrency in front of governments here too.
