before choosing an ICO project, you should read and research the content of the whitepaper first, you should see the timeline on the roadmap and see who the team is joining in the project. many are fooled by the ICO project for not being careful in choosing ICO. I think ICO also benefits to gain more profit than trading.

I think that article was old or the FBI has lately warned people by using ATM's before banks were using ATM that does not have microchips or they not upgrading ATM's by using EMV ( Europay, Mastercard, and Visa ). It looks like having a computerized sim card on your ATM card that their microchip contains encrypted cardholder’s data that are almost impossible to copy or fake. Unless if that bank owner having a shady activity by putting camera's on ATM machine to gather you an information on your ATM cards.

In this case, we must use the blockchain technology for safer and transparency transaction that we make feels better.

There will be a fixed number if Bitcoins, and people, because of human error, will accidentally lose Bitcoins every now and then.

This must mean that Bitcoin will eventually seize to exist? Or at least shrink to minimal amounts, when it shrinks to a certain level, it will no longer be useful.

Is this correct?

Looks like many economies around the world are going to be suffering major downfalls around 2030. The demographic pyramid is completely fucked up in many countries, with locals not having kids because basically millennial cannot afford to live on their own due low wages and high cost of living. In Europe it's all over the place. What grinds my gears is economists saying immigration is the solution and they will pay our retirement funds. This is insanity.

Anyway, do you have a portfolio that makes you comfortable about the future? we are definitely on our own so be sure to have some passive source of income for the future. Hopefully Bitcoin saves our ass and by 2030 we don't have to worry about money anymore.

If everyone around the world gets into cryptocurrency, do you think it will even help in solving or lessen socioeconomic problems? Can it be used to buy goods from other countries? It is fair to say that crypto will help a lot of people but what will it do to one's country? Will it help improve a country's economy?

I agree with that mate! We should not quit investing to well known currency that can make our investments grow in the future. We should be more careful in joining investing to our favorite currency to prevent from losing our money. And I think this coming year is the great time to make more investments in order to get a better earnings in any currency.

Some of the coins I sell are due to cutting losses. I invested the proceeds to invest in Ethereum and Bitcoin. Because in the second few days this coin shows a very positive trend as if Bitcoin and Ethereum will recover the price.

I am interested to invest on a not well known coin and newly released, what are the factors I need to consider to take a look to know if this coin has a bright future?

Can you give an example of a altcoin that you think will have a good value in the future and why? please give your explanation.

how to check the bonty program is legit or sexcem. sometimes there are bounty programs that do not include the spreadsheet

Ethereum is the main platform which is the basis for any new projects. Currently, all competitors of this platform have not yet achieved any high performance that could allow them to really compete with it. Consequently, in the near future her leader position will not be challenged by anyone.

I have 200 dollars and I want to know if I should place it in XRP or ADA. I have both so spare the split 50/50 talk

Thanks in advance!

What valuable lesson(s) have you learnt from the crypto space in 2018 and how is it going to shape your involvement in the space going forward? Looking forward to your responses, hoping one or two persons learn a thing or two from them.

Russia launches its CryptoRuble mostly for people who avoid to pay taxes:

Since anyone can buy and sell CryptoRuble (not only Russians) it means that investment capital will be legal for everyone in Russia.
I think it is a very smart move for the russian market. After all, Ethereum and WAVES are both platforms designed by and built for Russia. Any thoughts?

We can all agree that having grown up with the current banking system of tangible money is familiar and comfortable. However, today rate and people are losing faith in a system that bails out the rich and leaves the the world is changing at a rapid poor to fend for themselves. People are starting to take back their power and are wanting more control over their own money - it’s time to shift your reality to the 21st Century. Can you believe that we are still living in a world where bank transactions don’t go through because it is a weekend or public holiday, what is up with that? We have the choice to move to a peer to peer (P2P) platform that can make instant transfers any day of the week.

People will simply stop mining until it is profitable again and no doubt people who have access to free or extremely cheap electric will continue to mine so it will not stop completely and as others have pointed out it is a self correcting system so the difficulty will reduce to make it attractive to mine.
