OOpps, sorry, you are right, I didn't see the link at first, my bad. It just happens so often that the word airdrop is abused. Again I apologize.

Every investment is better than others WHEN it happens to outperform the other ones. This is happening to Bitcoin right now, but in other periods it was the stocks, or gold, or real estate or whatever. For example, in 2014 Bitcoin was one of the worse investments you could do, Bitcoin lost over 80%.

The most funny aspect of this news is that Nigeria is especially known in the world for the so called "Nigerian 419 Scam", which consist in all those letters that each of us has received at some point of people who allegedly need to send you millions of dollars for the most surreal reasons. Many people worldwide have been falling at this scam, which alone is responsible for a consistent part of Nigeria's GDP. So the Bank of Nigeria should have better been warning the world about the Nigerian scammers. But, as said, they have really a great sense of humor.

Why would you have the word "Airdrop" in the title of your thread if then there is no mention whatsoever of airdrops inside your OP? If that's just a way to attract people it won't work, because anyone attracted by that magic word will simply get pissed off and leave as soon as he realizes that you have been been lying already in the title.

In order to replace fiat, a cryptocurrency has to be stable enough in its price so that people know which is its value without having to check it every five minutes. Also, it would need to have a compehensible unity of price, not stuff like 0.0001 BTC, where you always have to count well the zeroes before making any operations.

Do you have any link of crypto lark? I have been reading good things about  IoT Chain but there is little information on them in the West.

You can bet we never had the power to control out future. And by the way, nobody had. Occasionally some have the power to control our present - but it's not necessarily us.

Not just that. Also nobody is on the spreadsheet and the airdrop is already closed after having supposedly been opened 90 minutes ago. Not clear what's going on here... just a big loss of time I guess.

I guess you have already had an answer from the markets to your question.
Now the technical analysis of Bitcoin shows it can possibly dive very hard any moment. It's a very delicate moment.

Not clear if the signature bounty campaign is still running or not, or if it is freezen and it will resume later on...

This is an interesting point of view
In fact, the ups and downs are BOTH necessary for the market to discover how much it CAN go up and down. If it would go only up, nobody would know how much it would possibly go down, should it ever go down. If it would only go up, at some point it would possibly crash down to nothingness.

The world will last a few billion years more, so I would not worry so much for that. As for the possible extincion of human being, I also would not worry so much, since if it happens nobody will be left to be sorry for that.

This news has had the effect of crashing BTC market. There has been such amazing sell volumes that I'm starting to suspect that this hack had exactly the main purpose to cause this crash.
As for your question, hacking exchanges has always been a quite lucrative activity for hackers, but in future it may be more and more difficult as decentralized exchanges will become more popular.

This is totally sick. He has been doing the same that thousands of people have been doing for years everywhere, but the Land of the Free is sending him to prison because he didn't act as an state officer asking IDs to people. No comment...

A quite easy solution would be also to open an account at Coinbase, wire some money there or use a CC and then buy a bitcoin that you can then send to whoever you want.

I think Mullvad is one of the best VPN out there. It has been rated as one of the safest ones. It is not free, but it's cheap and you can pay it with Bitcoins for 100% privacy.

A good way to start eliminating fake news would be shutting down mainstream media. Since this is probably not possible, a plan B would be just to stop following mainstream media. After all, if nobody watches fake news any more, they virtually chease to exist.

I am trying to solve this problem by not dying. I know that on the long term this coould cause me immortality, a sort of disease which makes you persistent without any possible cure, but I will run the risk.

The best sarcasm is the one that you spend weeks or months asking yourself if it was sarcasm or not And asking wouldn't help - it would just make things worse...

So they can identify who is going on an foreign exchange? Even if users are surfing thorugh VPN or the latest TOR?
If they will really succeed I guess it will be a big mess for the market.
