Hi,
I'm really curious what in your personal opinion the price should be - where do you think we should be in means of adoption and infrastructure.

We currently have price of about $1000 per 1 BTC, do you consider it as about right, overvalued or undervalued in all and all?

Please vote and if possible please explain why you voted in this way below.

Thanks.

I simply do not have time to touch this, but I am putting the idea out there if someone wants to jump on it.  I speak as a former US Navy officer that toured from 1990-1996.  I have been on leave and on tour in, just to name a few, Japan, Afghanistan, most of Europe, Iraq/Kuwait and several other ports.  This was before the Euro was really around or very popular and since the idea of the Euro has diminished.

One of the biggest points of confusion when in port or on leave is the currency.  I believe I remember spending 10,000 Yen or more for a pack of cigarettes, some unknown amount of German currency, French currency and Italian currency to buy whatever.  Honestly, most of my leave time was spent drinking, which compounds the issue because once you are a little tipsy, the conversions get even crazier to track.  Several sailors get ripped off left and right and others lose track of their spending quickly.

I have since traveled a great deal and most of the time I get around these mass conversions by booking almost everything in advance online and spending very little money cash out of hand. 

I suggest a side token of Bitcoin that military and other travelers can use.  This is a huge project, not because of development, but because it will need a great deal of integration in several different countries.  If this works and gets even a little integration, then it may help get cryptos into some countries more quickly.  Yes, it is another avenue of money laundering, but so is everything these days.  I suggest a colored coin versus a separate alt coin because there needs to be a way to ensure a semi-controlled value.  A Navy sailor that converts their last ten paychecks into the coin and then finds that the value dropped off could be stranded or worse.  The same could be true of anyone out of the country.  Imagine the Navy sailor converting to X coin, losing everything and then trying to figure how to feed their family 4,000 miles away.  A side token can lose value too, but there are more ways to ensure that the original BTC value that enters the side token's chain is preserved.

I would love to do this, but anyone looking at my post history will see that I currently have more than six projects in the works and that is just the list spoken about here.  As I said, dev'ing the token is pretty easy, but getting it used in X number of foreign countries is a big bill to pay.  Any thoughts would be appreciated, I am keeping this thread NOT self-moderated so that if someone takes the idea and runs they can do what they wish here. 

for years on the social media regarding bitcoin, we have been hearing these words "China is controlling bitcoin" i have always shook my head in disappointment after seeing how many people fall for the manipulative words.

you can even see a topic with this exact title here and half of people voting "Yes" for it!

here is how fake Chinese trading volumes were:



and although i have always been saying having the mining power has nothing to do with any of all this, since not long ago ghash.io had 51+% of the hashrate in one place and nothing happened, but i would like to share this image here also because i find it relevant:

The Swiss lawmakers seem to be taking some steps to regulate cryptocurrency and fintech in general. We will have to wait for the final shape of their regulatory measures, before passing judgment on how effective it is. If it is as bad as Bitlicence, it could result in crypto-currency users avoiding Switzerland like the plague.

Is this simply possible to make?

I know that anybody can create his own wallet with his own application on desktop. How can EU collect all those information. This simply seems impossible to put into action.

What do you think?

Probably purse.io, you can find tons of discounts here, I think they use Amazon gifts or something. I can't think of any other places where I would bother spending money on stuff, if you don't have an incentive to use bitcoin over fiat, then save the bitcoin for long term. I feel like im paying with gold when I pay with bitcoin, because most of the time I get no benefit, it would have been the same if I just paid with my credit card, and fiat will go down while bitcoin will go up.

it can, it is counted as an asset if the court wants to and they can order the law enforcement to seize your assets with bitcoin included.
if I am remembering this right, it was BurtW who had a similar experience when they seized all his bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't really anonymous though, it is pseudonymous. It only works as tax haven if the holder is super-discreet and doesn't trip various wires, like selling a lot in one go.
