Because they don't want to promote trashy ICOs on their platform, pretty simple is it not. Doubt this news can truly hurt Bitcoin, if anything it will cause a short term loss nothing long lasting about this news.

And just when you think it couldn't possibly get any weirder and hilarious it does. This space never ceases to amaze me and this is yet another example. What is next, Lady Gaga creating PokerFaceCoin? Or maybe Paris Hilton will make SexTapeCoin? The options are endless...

I think literally every person in the world wants to invest more than they have but you can't do that in real life. You gotta know your limit, and stay within it. Also if you did have some cash, would you put it all into crypto? That doesn't seem wise in the slightest mate. I would choose freedom over slavery to the crypto markets anyday.

Guys I think you missed the point here...it was clear sarcasm I don't think OP was actually suggesting we jump ship.

I was just gonna say the way you describe Decentralization it sounds like a socialist idea or way of life. Decentralization just means that nobody can abuse power because there is no central authority, there still can be lopsided people who are rich inside the system though. Decentralization does not equal equality, but it does equal fairness in the sense nobody is left out of the system. There still will be levels of wealth, now and always I bet.

If it is so sad to see it this cheap, perhaps that means you should be happy because you can buy it this cheap no? That is what I would feel like if I really thought an altcoin would do well, and I would get it if my pockets weren't already spent...

That is what they say but I have this weird conspiracy feeling that the governments are the one that made them stop, because they were promoting cryptos and the government isn't happy with that. I don't why my paranoid bells are going off right now, but I will agree the net effect of this all will be positive.

Either by breaking out, or consolidating further, or last but not least dipping some more. Those are the 3 beautiful options we have, my money is on the first although I wouldn't be surprised if we got the others.

Truth because why would he lie in this scenario? Sure he could protect himself but it is not like people know where he lives, he is already protected. I believe the realization he moved the coins, put people in a panic and they wanted to get out before he did. Could be wrong, and am curious to find out what actually happened myself.

I believe what one person said there was that because we are 1% of total GDP or less we don't pose much of a threat to the world order. That is good news if you ask me, it means they don't really think much of us. Keep doing that governments for couple more years please .

But are they done yet? I could see this being the beginning of the pump and I could also see another month of terror and them pushing the prices even lower. I am good either way as I managed my portfolio quite decent back in December but a bear run would sting a little bit nonetheless.

Dear god, I hope it isn't only the online aspect that will get people involved. I was really hoping that once people woke up and smelled the cheese about the current monetary system that they would opt out and choose cryptocurrencies for their privacy. In any case, the more people that use cryptocurrencies the better and the quicker we can educate the rest.

Well prior it was because when Bitcoin was congested people were opting to use Ethereum at that time which propelled Ethereum up. Now that Bitcoin has solved the fees issue and the congestion issue Ethereum doesn't stand to gain much from it going down. That is why I believe Ethereum goes down at the same time as Bitcoin right now.

The G20 Summit has me quite bullish about things because seemingly we are unimportant as an industry. I like it when they underestimate us, it will only surprise them more when they realize we are more than 1% of the total GDP worldwide. They are in for a rude awakening, and I am glad I get a front seat look at it .

And I have a feeling that I might get to sleep with Gal Gadot on our date tonight...adding to the list of things that will never happen

They are both trying to achieve similar things what you have to ask yourself is how do you identify in the community and which will you choose to support because of that? It is decentralization vs centralization and I personally choose XLM for that reason.

Oh my god, are you serious right now? That is gigantic news! Here I was fearing for the worst in 2018 in regards to prohibition and regulation of this space, and here we have the top exchange innovating already. I love that they are ahead of the law makers in that regard, and man are they ever going to keep the market share now. I am so happy and giddy right now that I could tear up!

The de facto leader seems to be Trump, but I would argue that Putin is the real person pulling the strings. Maybe not now but during the next recession, Russia is going to clean up immensely. They increased their gold reserves from 3% to 17% in the last decade, watch out they are on a mission.

It is on the recovery track for sure, but the recovery is slow once you go up parabolic and crash hard like that. Give it another month yet, and by that time we should be out of this rout we are currently in.

Create whatever kind of coin you choose, I don't care all I ask is that you provide us with a transparent way to confirm your blockchain. I don't believe Tether has done this and if Havven and others fails to do the same, I will write them off as craptokens that cannot offer the simplest request one can make of a distributed ledger system.
