I've read personal accounts of contractors that are having extreme difficulties finding cheap steel.
This is because of the new import tariffs, some quote that prices are up to 50% higher. They're also having trouble honoring previously signed contracts because of it.
Now, this is just one aspect of the effect of Trumps measures, but I personally don't think that protectionist measures are a good idea in general.

Yes of course, I just won't play on any casino that just supports Bitcoin. Sometimes confirmations just take way too long, so it's easier to deposit with altcoins instead.
Also the way they process deposits and withdraws is very important. I don't want to wait hours or days to receive my payout.
Usually I use Litecoin or Doge when I play on Crypto-games, just because I have my deposit in less than 5 minutes. With Bitcoin, I'd have to wait 20 - 30 sometimes.
Happens pretty regularly.

Anyone else unable to login? I've tried different browsers and it does nothing.
No problems here at my end. Are you still having this problem? Are you just unable to login or also unable to visit CG in general? |

The easiest way to connect a person to a Bitcoin wallet, is by just looking whether said person has ever shared his wallet address online. Then you just connect whatever profile to a physical person. It's easy if people just use the same username for everything or if they reveal an email address. Governments can also subpoena exchanges to hand over user data. Maybe they don't even have to issue an actual subpoena, not sure about that. They just follow the transactions to an exchange. I'd really recommend reading through this: https://bitcoin.org/en/protect-your-privacy Feel free to correct any mistakes I might have made. |

Well, it has (kinda) happened with Bitcoin, though I would argue that the effects weren't as big.
Remember when the fees skyrocketed and very few blocks were found (like 1 or 2 per hour), causing people to have to wait hours or days in order to get their transactions processed (in rare cases).
That's at least somewhat comparable, I'd say.
Yeah you would still be able to pay, but only when adding a high fee. Even then you could still be waiting for almost an hour to get your transaction processed.
Edit: Sorry, my reply is basically the same one as dothebeats's reply. I'll just add that these issues should be a thing of the past, now that we have segwit and LN

I'm just going to give my 2 cents on how to HODL the right way.
The right way for me is taking the path of no return, I'll explain.
Say you want to hodl 2 Bitcoins for at least one year.
Just put them into a timelocked transaction that won't expire before one year has passed.
Whatever the price does, you won't be able to do anything until you've waited a year.

Regulations are bullshit. It's just an excuse to control your money. Because cryptocoins are outside the government taxes reach, they are trying to get some for them.
This is an agenda of socialist states. That's all.
Our cryptomoney is OURS only. Don't let the government get them.
I don't agree with this at all and you mentioning 'socialist states' doesn't make me want to believe you either. I think it's fairly logical that crypto should be somewhat regulated, regulations aren't always a bad thing. Especially when you see how successful it could be to get some form of regulations for cryptocurrency. Take Japan as an example, crypto is booming there since they've issued clear regulations for crypto. Regulations shouldn't be draconian, but should provide us with clear guidelines on how crypto is taxed and possibly add rules for tax exemption in some cases (for long term investments for example). I have no problem paying taxes, there are enough public expenses that I'll gladly pay for.

Before using a gambling website you need to check the customer support of online casino. If you are going to play frequently on a website, it is important that you do not ignore this feature.
Researches of the whole site would be better instead of focusing on its customer support. Customer support does not guarantee that the site is a good place to spend your money. At least try to find some valid reviews about the site where you are going to play. Let’s talk about facts here. There is nothing like a trustworthy gambling site on the face of earth. It is all in the heads of gamblers and exist to that scope only. In reality, owners of gambling sites or casinos are looking forward to generating as much income as possible with the help of customer’s money. Use some basic common sense. If businessman will turn into honest and caring lads, then how will they get any profit? Your explanation doesn't make much sense though. Sure there are trustworthy casinos out there and yes they all want to make a profit, nothing wrong with that. Trustworthiness doesn't have anything to do with wether the casino wants to make money or not. A casino that has been consistently paying out and has provably fair games, I'd call trustworthy. |

My first +1 BTC win was at BitStarz more then 2 years ago. Later +1 BTC I won in several casinos like fortune jack, betcoin.tm, if anyone remember that casino, betcoin.ag, and several more.
Most of the casinos mentioned in that line are either gone rouge,turned into a scam, and are operating shadily.Take betcoin.ag for instance, they're still operating but with a new accusation against them every other week. As the entire community would agree crypto-games.net is the truly deserving candidate when it comes to "praising your favourite casino." Let's be honest here, there are probably another few good casinos out there. I do agree though, if you look at Crypto-Games' track record, they would certainly deserve to be called one of the best (if not THE best) crypto casino out there. Not just saying that because I wear their signature, I've also been playing there since 2015. Years of automated payouts without any serious problems. I've personally never had any issues which required me to contact support. That alone tells you a lot, since I've been playing there for years. |

That's why I think bitcoin is such an interesting investment, and also a very attractive one for the long term holders.
Bitcoin is simply independent from any financial system, which is something that we don't see at all in other investments. It is also decentralized, and there is a limit on the amount that can ever exist. Not to mention that it is one of the most fungible currencies available due to its anonymity.
I wouldn't say that world debt hitting an ATH will have a direct positive impact, but in times of economic difficulties, as we saw in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Argentina, etc., Bitcoin would be incredibly useful in holding its value, unlike the fiat currency. That's why I'm personally invested in BTC.
I've also heard some speculation about a possible increased interest in crypto from Italy, since the country is on its way to financial crisis. If Italy ever leaves the eurozone, however unlikely it may be, it might drive people towards crypto. This is the article: https://www.businessinsider.nl/bitcoin-price-crypto-making-comeback-italy-political-crisis-mounts-2018-5/?international=true&r=US |

Sorry, but one look at your introduction video already tells me that people should not invest in this. I'm really doubtful that you'll raise anything. Your website is as generic as they come. I mean, what kind of message are you even sending through that Youtube video for example. I'll quote some text here: FiveStarMiningNetwork presents
First crypto that will provide
Returns for coin holders
Crypto news ads and listings
Make sure you don't miss out
Gee, I wouldn't want to miss out on that  Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrWIV2Xx4_ILet me ask you another question. How much of your own money have you invested in this ICO in total? How many miners do you have running at home right now? Could you provide proof? |

I've also asked a similar question before on this forum and got a really amazing reply. Easy step-by-step instructions to create a time-locked transaction. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415595.msg24710770#msg24710770I know you're probably looking for a more in-depth technical answer, but just sharing this in case anyone else is interested in creating a time-locked transaction. |

Protection against consumer tracking - This might be one of the best reasons why you should be using Bitcoin. Your consumer spending habits should not be anyone's else's business. Financial privacy does not stop, when you hide your wealth from other people... it extends to what you are buying with that wealth. Why do governments need to know how many times you spend your money on junk food? {They track all your consumer spending, when you use traditional payment methods.} If you use Bitcoin correctly, you can hide your consumer behaviour from those people who are invading your privacy.  But isn't it impossible to achieve perfect anonymity with Bitcoin? I mean every transaction you make is essentially logged in the blockchain forever. When you buy your coins from an exchange, that's when the trail starts. Unless you're doing anonymous OTC trades, it's not that hard to track down someone's Bitcoin spending habits, at least not for governments. Heck, it's even possible for regular technically adept people to track someone's spending habits with Bitcoin. You'd just have to tie a Bitcoin address to a person, lots of people re-use and share their addresses. Then we're not even talking about deep blockchain analysis, which can de-anonymize transactions made through a Bitcoin mixer. |

The problem is that these brick & mortar casinos are only paying it forward, because they are required to do so by law.
I know that there are a lot of charity-giving people in the crypto community, but I doubt that casino owners are among them.
I would think that they think about profit in the first place, so they would most likely not give back to the 'community' unless there was something in it for them.
There is something in it for them. When you are the main sponsor of a Bitcoin event, you get prime advertisement for your business and you build Brand recognition. You also increase adoption by sponsoring large tournaments. The biggest Casinos are offering Sports betting & eSport betting services, so they can even host a online gaming tournament with the help of the community and gain new gamblers that would be betting on the outcome of these tournaments. The Bitcoin gambling and online gambling scene is very competitive, so things like this will set it apart from the other 100's of casinos out there. I can already envision a Bustabit or PrimeDice sponsored global online gaming tournament. {Arranged by the community and funded by the casinos}  The games can be streamed live with advertisements all over the place and people betting on the games.  Looks like I didn't think that reply through enough  You're right that they would get free advertisement in return, but is it really 'paying it forward'? I was more thinking about casino's offering to help with paying for development of Bitcoin or other open-source projects. I personally just don't really count hosting a tournament as 'paying it forward'. That's just my opinion though. |

And what do you suggest people do, as more and more companies start using automation instead of hiring people?
I think it's a good thing that people are starting to look into different ways to become self-employed, I don't care that it doesn't directly contribute to society.
Do you think it's so great that someone spends 10 hours per day in a factory packing stupid shit in boxes?
So good for society... That we have someone packing up hundreds of fidget spinners every day.
Not everyone has to be an engineer or doctor, entertainment certainly has its place in society.
I definitely agree with your views. It's kinda boring to do simple things over and over again. If we have the capability to simplify and automate this job. Everyone has their own talents and skills which they can use effectively and besides not all here are don't have regular jobs. This is just a ranting individual that don't want to learn something new. Instead of studying what could Bitcoin possibly do with his life: he lost, he quit, then he wants to bring someone down. Envy is really a bad thing. Sorry for the late reply, it's hard to keep track of everything here I do think that OP makes a somewhat fair point. It's true that nowadays people seem to be making money without putting any real effort into it. It does seem kind of leechy to make 100K per month because kids are donating to watch someone play video games all day. That said, I still stand by the point that I made. I do not think that it's better to do some other meaningless job. People should do the job that they want, even if it's Youtube or whatever. |

None of those, the best one is Bytecoin that is now listed on Binance and has made a steep climb of a 32% in a day. Private, with web wallet and a great development team behind.
LOL you've got to be kidding. Bytecoin is one of the more shady coins out there. They had a massive 80% pre-mine, which all went to the developer(s). Some Crypto news outlets are even calling it an outright scam. https://btcmanager.com/bytecoin-the-cryptocurrency-scam-resembles-a-black-hole/ |

This is just my opinion, but the blue text is kind of hard to look at. I've read a story on Reddit once about someone committing suicide because they had lost a massive amount of Bitcoins in a hack. Right after that, the price started rising and he committed suicide. This is more sad than creepy, but it's just something that stuck with me. I think this was the thread, though I'm not 100% sure (I thought it was longer) https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7hmjdw/my_brother_killed_himself_because_of_btc/ |

Isn't that the purpose of licenses for gambling sites? If a site has a license you should know where it's located and who the owner is, or at least the company that owns it, because in most of the times it's not a single person. If they have a license you should have all the information needed in order to open a case against them, if they ever cheat on you. The problem is that most users, at least in crypto, don't really care if the casino has a license or not, and don't even search for these things when they are gambling.
With the owner, they are mostly widely known since they have registered with the appropriate institutions everything about them is there for their customers to know and it's not like the owners are just taking the information, they are required by the law to get those information. By which law? Laws are different around the world. You have plenty of casinos that do not require you to hand over your personal data. That's why crypto is so great for gambling in the first place. You can play anonymously, without any requirements to hand over personal documents. This whole KYC stuff is just ridiculous in my opinion. All in the name of preventing money laundering and stopping terrorism, while the majority of people use these services legally. You're sending personal documents over the internet, often in very insecure ways. Don't be surprised if copies of your passport suddenly get offered for sale on darknet forums etc. How do you think criminals commit identity theft? I would bet they do get their hands on stolen KYC documents from time to time. |

When will you add Nexo?
It's not in our plan to add it. What are the requirements for a coin to be added? Does it need to have a certain amount of volume, before you think about adding it? Not expecting any coins to be added soon, since Stellar is going to be added eventually |
