It is true that a possibility of this never happening is quite probable. FIAT currency is an integral part of many of today's society functions so it is not that likely that we will see such fundamental changes in our lifetime. Perhaps in smaller scale examples crypto will be the primary currency of preference but sub scale economies are always more flexible.

Ah, I was under the impression that epay was Mainland Chinese? After looking through their website more extensively I found out that they seem to have different offices in their contact section (one in mainland and one in Hong Kong) but I can't figure out where they are based.

It'd be interesting to know what the issuing bank for their cards is. I might go through getting one to find out if nobody here has personal experience with this.

Bitcoin's code was so thoroughly tested that a bug in open SSL was uncovered. This is a good example of how much goes into checking and pen testing bitcoin code. Look into it. Nobody has managed to break bitcoin so far. That is only applicable to the Core channel OFC.

Well, it's not necessary that people lost more in the first place. Each case is different for each person. Right now, I think bitcoin could potentially launch but what I'm kinda worried about is how much power exchanges are getting through how speculative markets are getting with crypto. Exchanges essentially supported the development of this currency bya allowing for capital flows on a currency that essentially does not exist yet.

You don't have to download a wallet if you are not interested in the inherit values of bitcoin like immutability and trustlessness. For ease of use, online e wallets would serve you sufficiently and most things about security are taken care for you by someone you will have to trust.

Waves I think does not have a strong long term potential against other platforms. In the short run, the attention the platform gets seems increasing, but once existing projects in more prestigious platforms get more attention Waves would end up dumped for better alternatives.

Good luck with this. I believe you are charging a very fair amount for someone that is starting out just now but through time you should be hoping to raise rates. 8$ 400 words is a little low for original content so once you acquire a portfolio look into it.

I don't know how much this EFF would be representative of precious metals markets. There has been discussion in the past about money flowing alongside metal and cryoto markets as both speculators in the two are upholding similar standards in terms of ideological beliefs. I don't think there's reason to attack gold and silver bugs for that matter.

State leaders would naturally warn against speculation if it becomes widespread amid a country's population. I would expect such thing from Vladimir Putin as Russia has a long history with ponzi scheme's (see original MMM). It is not bad to warn against the risk, as it is a major factor in all investment.

Just yesterday I sent a transaction from BitGo to Kraken with their instant confirmation feature and set the fees to "300 block confirmation" because multisig transactions are instantly confirmed to cooperating services. But Kraken was early to cut support from that service and I'm now left waiting for a transaction for over a day and a half...

I think it's more of a time to short ARK. With the current price pattern it's went through, markets look like they'll be under selling pressure with little potential for another big price rise. I'd hold such a position over the upcoming week or so.

Buying accounts does not brake the rules but you really shouldn't worry about it all that much as you've only gotten a very low ranking account. It'd be easy to reach that on your own. No big damage.

On the other hand, the most serious accusation seems to be the fact that someone left negative feedback on you for allegedly attempting to cheat on a signature campaign. This is very lowly behavior.

Interesting website, I'll be looking into it once I get the chance. I wasn't aware of it to be honest and what's odd is that it seems to be china based. Not often do we see Chinese services offering debit card products, I've actually not found one except this.

Yeah, perhaps my deposit happened at a time they were looking into this infrastructure. It took longer than usual to confirm (not instant) but got faster than a usual transaction eventually. I hope the new upgrade will help make things better.

I have some BTC in BitGo because it has instant and free deposits to Kraken. Today I was trying to deposit to the exchange and naturally, since the transactions are supposed to be instant with multisig I chose the slowest confirmation option. This used to be instant, but today my transactions are yet to confirm.

Not only is it not enough, it'll also create quite a bit for selling pressure. Some people have been holding their bcash coins expecting a price rise and for that reason there's not much potential for a price increase.

I blame the speculators. It doesn't even have binaries for a windows wallet yet, but it was picked up by exchanges and trading took of in seconds. The speculative nature of crypto markets makes it so there's demand for it in spite of it being unorganized. Either way, this seems to be dead sooner or later and it won't be missed. Sell while you can.

Bitcoin Gold developers are proving unable to handle their responsibilities even after the deadline they supplied themselves with on their own. Exchanges that decided to support it are now uncertain as to how they could handle events surrounding the bitcoin fork. See HitBTC's announcement for a taste of this:

https://blog.hitbtc.com/bitcoin-gold-update/

No binaries have been released by bitcoin gold devs yet, and as the above article states Bitcoin Gold doesn't have fully formed consensus code, adequate code for testing, implemented replay protection and blockchain explorer.

This all really seems like a bad copy of the Bcash debacle.

As of upcoming ICOs that seem exciting, I think that wireline seems quite nice. I am not quite sure about when its crowdsale will be begging but it seems to be made up of a solid team for a quite solid plan.

As OP seems to be new here, I'd offer to provide a vouch review for his services if he'd be interested to provide with an account for that. Let me know.
