Always remember that regulations in cryptocurrency will be hard to implement because of the decentralized nature of it. I will be up to the user of crypto to do self regulation and I think that it should be the first thing that as user of crypto needs to learn as most of the new users of crypto are dumbfounded on what they need to do and easily manipulated by great entities of the market such as whales.

It will be in your laptop has malware into it. It may be downloaded in your laptop in the link that you click unknowingly, that is why most of us here do not click link or go to shady website as we risk our selves in getting our data stolen, specially you pass keys into our wallets. This also happen in my social media account and good thing that I was able to change may password. The problem here is that in wallets you cannot change your pass keys, and let this be a lesson to you to be diligent in the websites and links that we access.

While cryptocurrency us very volatile it can be easily entered by anyone with almost any range of capital, also in a technical stand point cryptocurrency is very hard to predict that us why the margin of error of most experienced traders in the crypto industry is a but high compared to stock traders. In the stock market it is much the risk are much more minimal as it can be easily predicted by the news of the companies that you put your stock into along with that it does have a steady growth, but it is not easily accessed by most people unless you go to a stock broker and the capital for it is quite high.

For an ICO or project to last in this industry I believe that having their own blockchain is essential, but if they are just starting specially after the ICO sale they would need time for them to develop the blockchain and platform that is why in the mean time that their blockchain is not yet ready for the users it is better for them to use an existing blockchain.

Agreed, most people think that being financially rich is what makes a person wealthy but not all people thinks like that. As there are people who would want to be rich with relationship from other people but they are deprived of love, while there are also people who would want to be healthy but they are ridden with sickness. In actuality we are rich in our own way it is just that we are blinded of the thing that we want to have and we are taking for granted the things that we have.

If you are getting discourage in the market prices then you should stay away form this market, as you can only get stressed out. But you should understand that when you put your money and invested it into cryptocurrency you are willing to lose all that money as market value is very volatile. If you still have some altcoins that you are hodl it is best to hodl it for now, because if you sell it then that is when the time you will lose your investments.

The ICO ratings will only help you evaluate these projects, but it is not a measurement of the success of the ICO as there are many factors that will contribute to its success. That is why self evaluation of the ICO project is still essential even if the ICO as a good rating from reputable websites such as ICObench, ICOmarks, trackICO and ICOholder.

I agree as one way to breach the security of blockchains or any other system knowing how the security works on the inside and to do that hackers need someone from the inside to feed them information and with that these multi million exchange breach happens. Hopefully the recent hacking in Bancor does not greatly affect the market as we are now transitioning to a market up trend.

It will just remember in any kind of war money is going to be involved and with that investors will come and intervene to get profits. If an economic war breaks out it will be beneficial to the one how will be the first to move not just in the crypto industry but other industries as well. But remember that if someone profits from a war their are many people who will suffer from it.

130 is a small number that is related to crime with the use of cryptocurrency, which I think that this was done using detectable IPs. In reality if you go to the deep and dark web their are much more crime related cases using cryptocurrency. For instance human and drug trafficking, drug dealing, assassination, pornography, brutal crimes and even cannibalism can be done using transaction in cryptocurrency.

To newbie traders it is highly recommended that you do not leave any cryptocurrency in any exchanges if you are not trading or if you will be away for quite some time and do not have a way to monitor your exchange wallet as every day for instance the Token Service Bancor was hack by $13.5 million just recently(see the link below). That is why regulating yourself and being careful is always a virtue in the crypto industry.

We would highly recommend that you stay away in cloud mining most of then are just scams and you can just lose your money. If you really want to earn form mining then to hardware mining instead, depending on the cryptocurrency that you would want to mine you can do GPU mining or ASIC mining it will depend on your preference. But if you do not want the hassle of maintaining your mining rig then investing in cryptocurrency and HODL will be you best bet.

Hopefully that the Uzbekiztan government will make the decree favorable to the users of crypto and be within the reach of their people as we know not all decrees and law that is passed by every government will be favorable to its countrymen and sometime only some corrupt officials benefit from it. I am in high hopes that many crypto users will benefit from what they are establishing and it would be implemented as soon as possible.

CPU mining in China would be the go to mining alternative since these CPUs would be much cheaper and it can be a big contribution to the crypto market in China. My only concern is that if these CPUs hit the black market it can disturb the flow of the CPU market in certain regions and it will hamper the innovation that AMD and Intel can provide as it will hit their sales. Hopefully that its sales can be regulated only in China as what the deal says so that we can still see good product from both side of the fence specially that AMD is pushing hard on Intel with its offerings.

Institution or big companies getting involved or putting investment in  cryptocurrency will definitely put the market in a good status and it will provide a very good volume. If the Facebook and Coinbase takeover rumor is true along with the news that  Evan Cheng one of Facebook senior engineer which is a crypto adviser and advocate moving to the Engineering Director position then it will make the prices in a vary good spot as it seams Facebook is getting ready to join the crypto industry.

Yeah at the very least their government or government agency are regulating the use of crypto exchanges in Japan and their are not opposed to it, unlike  some countries where they are banning crypto exchanges. Also it is for the protection of the users of such exchanges and I think Japan will soon legalize of cryptocurrency in their country.

So Facebook are now starting its move to get the blockchain technology integrated in their platform. The coinbase rumor is one thing but this cements the rumors that Facebook will be joining the blockchain bandwagon. If companies such as Facebook will join the crypto industry then it will be a big development since the blockchain technology will be more accessible to the masses.

In reality most of the people who use the internet and social media are aware and knows cryptocurrency, however only a certain percentage are interested to it as there are still many people who do not believe in it and its potential. While some of the thinks that it is just a ponzi scheme to get money from investor only the few brave joins the market because they have seen its potential.

Reading the whitepaper is a virtue for bounty hunter as it will be the basis where investor will invest their money in the project. A well thought whitepaper along with the timely execution of the roadmap is sometimes a deal breaker to most investors and it would tell the quality that the developers and the management puts to provide a good service or value that the investor would woulnt to see.

Buying the top coins is still going to be profitable specially when the prices are like what we are seeing right now and the potential for the market to moon by the end of this year, however while getting the main coins is the most logical thing to do for hodlers for trader that is not the case as there are still tokens that fluctuates in prices even when the market is down the potential to earn is still there it is just a matter  of how you do your trading.
