1) Too much stress.

Yes, I believe you understand me. My mood depended on one or another token value. I couldn't work sleep and eat. I was checking value for 15-20 times per day. I could not live like that any more.

2) Too much time.

Again, when you are checking value for 10-15 times per day it takes a lot of time. I was always tired and exchausted.

3) I started playing blockchain games (not gambling).

It could be called another addiction but I don’t care. I do like it much more. It interesting and funny. It seems like blockchain games take too much time and money. However, it’s not! Trading and bounty take waaaayyyyyy more!

I am browsing cryptocurrency news today when I stumbled on this article

Prominent Analyst Claims That It’s “Do or Die Time” for Ripple (XRP)

It stated that much of XRP holders were disappointed because of it being stagnant while Bitcoin and other large cryptocurrency have a large gain.


It seems holders are getting impatient.  Does this imply that developer are losing their grasp in this project?  Are they losing their market influence  to their competitor?

I think Bittrex is doing the right thing for sure. I am working with them since 2017 and i love their acting, they support their customers in big time. Low colume coins deleting is one of the best thing to do for the exchange i believe. If i own an exchange i would remove the low volume coins. If i check one exchange and if i see there are many low volume coins there i would never work with that exchange. So delisting is very good for everyone.

More and more Project are not paying Us bounty hunters for are work example of that 👉 ATHERO this project fooled us keep saying dates of distribution, is their any way to get even with this Scammers or is their any way to get them reported so that people will see what they really are?

99% of ICOs are scam, I'm not saying they are not, we are all tired of fake projects getting released day by day but let's not forget that many companies are just starting to take huge advantage of blockchain technology, the experiment with blockchain technology is ongoing which will actually giving birth to more newer projects,its left for us to choose wisely, cryptocurrency is advancing....

1)old coins and tokens are good and many prefer to invest in them than newer projects to limit there risks, not a bad idea but I want to share a simple example with you, a master will never remain a master forever
e.g there was a time when android version 2.3 is the best on Android phone, so how many of you can still use the 2.3 when you've already have the taste of 7,8.0,8.1,9 OS? The difference  is marginal,newer projects will and should be able to surpass the old ones

2)binance is the most favoured among biggest exchanges we have in crypto space and the bnb token is growing bigger due to IEO whatever and bnb crossing to its own blockchain, not a bad move but do you think binance will be this great in years to come?  Experiments gives birth to more greater and more advanced ideas and I can boldy say that we will see better exchange that will beat binance in the future, take it or leave it.

3)monero is the king of privacy coins as they named it, in fact yes I accept, I am a fan of xmr myself but lately many new privacy coins are flowing in and the one I'm most bullish on since 2018 is veil, seems better to me, this is not an investment advice though, just sharing my own personal opinion that we needs more newer projects to take blockchain and cryptocurrency tech to higher levels.

No one is the most wise, you will always see someone who will surpass you, no matter what and I think it's the same thing to coins and tokens .
1994 best cars aren't the best anymore
Best old PC in the past can't keep up with today's hexacore PC's.
Take your time to do your own research, we still have many good projects that will come out and if you are the type that have the mindset of new coins are bad you will surely miss the opportunity

Hello everyone I recently started trading the crypto currency Grosh through the Waves platform it's stable and it's not that vulnerable as other cryptos for example bitcoin. The waves platform gives a lot of opportunities and there are tons of crypto currencies to trade.

The price of the Grosh is still low overall so it's the best time to trade it. Just wanted to let know everyone about the Grosh and I am also planning to make some videos on you tube and it will be something like intro for this currency how to trade it and etc. I hope this article will be in use to many of you. I will stay active for questions about the Grosh and other related questions.

Regards to everyone!

So I wrote this on Medium.com, if you want to read it on Medium you can find it here: https://medium.com/@creampuff/how-binance-is-becoming-too-powerful-4550f6155f5d

Here is the article:

Before beginning, let’s introduce you to Binance. Binance is a company which ran an ICO in 2017 and launched its cryptocurrency exchange during the same year. They quickly became very popular, and a few months after its launch, the exchange was already the largest one in terms of daily volume. Binance, and even more their CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), is constantly incentivizing companies to use Binance Coin (BNB) as a payment method.

Besides, they recently relaunched Binance Launchpad, a way for users to directly participate in ICO’s on Binance. A few days after that relaunch, most of the major exchanges had already announced their versions of Launchpad, showing the impact of Binance in the cryptocurrency world. And even more recently, Binance Chain, was launched. Binance Chain will not only power Binance DEX, Binance decentralized exchange, but will also power tokens.

That’s scary.

Why?

Because if we take the tokens powered by Binance Chain for example, they will become incredibly dependent of Binance. And actually, it’s already the case without even taking in consideration Binance Chain. If we take a look at a low-cap coin listed on Binance, SONM for example, if they were delisted of Binance, their project would be considered as dead, because it wouldn’t have any volume anymore.

Quick side note: I’m not blaming Binance here, with this article, I’m blaming the other exchanges who aren’t capable of competing with Binance and Ethereum not being capable of competing in terms of scalability with Binance Chain. I actually like Binance, I really do. They have a great exchange, they know what they are doing, and they are certainly the most professional exchange I know. So I don’t have any problem in regards with the product itself, the only thing I’m saying is that they are becoming too powerful.

So the main problem behind Binance Chain is that it gives too much power to Binance because with their blockchain, Binance will be able to put even more pressure on cryptocurrency projects.

Imagine you have a company which has created a dApp and a token based on Binance Chain. You raised funds through Binance Launchpad, and were listed on Binance Exchange. Because you are fully based on Binance, you start accepting BNB, logical right?

Congratulations! You are now officially fully dependent of Binance.

Your dApp activity depends of Binance, most of your clients use BNB instead of your token because it’s much easier, the trading volume of your token fully depends of Binance and 95% of the people who are hodling your token are Binance users because, remember: you ran your ICO on Binance! Because of that, the majority of your token supply is located in Binance wallets.

The result is that your company’s success entirely depends of Binance, not you.

As a conclusion, I think it’s fair to say that Binance is becoming too powerful.

It started with selling beer, but age verification could crack open a whole industry to cryptocurrency.

CoinDesk previously reported on the demonstration of Civic’s beer-selling machinery at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW). Now the company is announcing partnerships with 12 major automated retail companies – AAEON, AR Systems, Fastcorp Vending, Global Vending Group, greenbox Robotics, Invenda, IVM, IVS, Retail Automated Concepts, SandenVendo, The-Venders and Wemp – to bring similar technology to the masses.

“Vending machines represent an introduction to the mass market, where people can see how digital identity functions in the real world, as well as opening up an entirely new market for automated retail,” CEO Vinny Lingham said in a statement.

The 12 partners control more than a million internet-connected vending machines, according to Civic. The identity startup expects the technology to be used in 1,000 machines by the end of 2019.

For users, verification will rely on document scans (of a driver’s license, in most cases) to confirm age and identity as the rollout takes place. Civic’s demo at SXSW had previously used “knowledge-based authentication,” that is, a series of questions only one person would be likely to correctly answer. This form will continue to be an option for vendors who prefer it, according to a spokesperson.

Stablecoin solution
Lingham told CoinDesk the company expects to use Gemini’s GUSD in the Civic Pay app (and perhaps others, later).

Stablecoins don’t have the volatility of other cryptocurrencies (such as Civic’s own CVC token), so when customers buy something through the Civic Pay app, they will most likely use GUSD (purchased through Civic) to pay for it. Participating merchants will receive the stablecoin and a much lower transaction fee.

“For non-age-gated products, the vending machine industry is dying for a cheaper, faster transaction,” Lingham told CoinDesk. “They can save 80–90 percent on transaction fees.”

For its part, Civic may still pay credit card fees but it faces a lower chargeback risk because the app has already verified the identity of the user.

“Our risks are substantially lower than a vendor taking a credit card transaction,” Lingham said.

Civic declined to disclose a timeline for stablecoin deployment on the app.

Beyond beer
Tobacco, alcohol and hemp-related products will establish Civic’s beachhead in the automated retail sector, Lingham told CoinDesk.

Beyond that, the advantages of using Civic Pay to dodge transaction fees could push the app into other categories. However, Lingham also highlighted another area that the company hopes to move into: pharmaceuticals.

While not necessarily age-gated, there are a variety of products that many users need frequently (for example, asthma medication, insulin or prescription antihistamines) that require identity verification. Today, this is done by visiting a pharmacy counter, but Lingham says Civic is in talks to bring its technology to this vertical, though the timeline is much further out.

“This is where it’s going. It’s not there yet,” Lingham said.

Civic will be demoing its application at the National Automated Merchandising Association’s NAMA Show in Las Vegas from April 24–26.

“The vending machine market is flourishing and being the first to adopt industry-changing technology is critical to providing the best user experience,” Mike Weiser, SandenVendo’s CEO and president, said in a statement. According to the company, it controls over 800,000 machines.

I still can not fully understand the investment in civic as token. But it seems that they can turn into a great company offering these simple and quick solutions.

You can now try to buy a promising coin, privacy coin, utility coin seem become a very good choice for you dude., Remember to buy when the price getting a correction and this will decrease your potential to get a big risk. There was a lot of candidates and try to search based on your analyzation.

I believe one of the major setbacks of the present crypto space is a lot of new projects are focused on providing the fastest easiest crypto coin to be used for payment purposes and transactions however considerably lower effort is placed on the vendors who are actually going to be accepting payment in form of cryptocurrencies because what is the use of having a crypto payment card full of money that you cannot spend.

Whitmore payment gateways a inform of PayPal and the likes accepting crypto payments from multiple coins without necessarily issuing their own coin then there will be better adoption of cryptocurrencies by both business owners and customers.

In his own reddit AskMeEverything page, https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/80ow6w/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/

He answers about cryptocurrency stating
“The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The Government’s ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. Right now crypto currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs and crypto currencies is super risky for those who go long.”

He isn't wrong in his sense, if the cryptocurrency is to have a future, they should be able to create an environment of trust between themselves and the authorities.

After I see in coinmarketcap the price of the coin starts green and the average goes up above 10%, will this market recover and the bitcoin has reached 3.8k? what do you think about this ..

Binance blockchain is no way in Direct competition with the ethereum blockchain and this is because it does not offer smart contract for development of projects it's only offers a fast transaction solution and also an alternative for new crypto projects.
The binance blockchain will continue to be useful and BNB coin will continue to be a top coin in terms of exchange coins but ethereum is far ahead of binance coin and blockchain (binance chain).
