The Russian government will take steps to circumvent international sanctions. However, they will do it quietly and even officially deny. Therefore, we are unlikely to see it in the news. I think that they have already taken and will take such measures. Including will use cryptocurrency and in particular, Bitcoin. It is not by chance that Russia helped Venezuela in creating their centralized El Petro cryptocurrency. In this way, ways were developed to circumvent international sanctions.
I saw someone posted similar article from another website and you're correct. If this has to happen we will not see or hear it in the news until it has happened. so people can either choose to believe these rumors or choose to look somewhere else but if it does happen that will be a great news for everyone. |

Many country has put ban on crypto currency , allot of financial gurus speaking negative thing about crypto currency !! But right now everything expert is embarrassing Blockchain Technology. every expert believes blockchain is the future so Today i want to ask if Financial institutions can run on blockchain without crypto Currency ?
Yes, blockchain and cryptocurrency aren't the same thing and if you look around you will find that many businesses have already implemented blockchain in their businesses without implementing cryptocurrency. Same can be done by the government or any other businesses. |

What is the point of having a limited money supply like bitcoin when a unlimited money supply like fiat(usd,cad,euro,yen) can buy it all? the bankers still win no?
usd,cad is controlled by the bankers while bitcoin gives you complete freedom over your money and it is controlled by you. Limited supply makes it more valuable asset as long as people are using it. Unlimited supply isn't a good thing when it comes to money. |

In my opinion it is not ready, bitcoin is a complicated matter so that the small business is not ready to make bitcoin a payment system, especially many cases of hacking so security is still a debate.
Security is not a matter of the entrepreneuers,only the prices matters a lot when it comes to payment system.People are afraid to take it as payment since the prices may fall at any time so they don't want to risk themselves by accepting a volatile currency. I'm sure there are services to counter that by locking the payment price else none of the other businesses will be using bitcoin/crypto as payment method. I think problem is people are not educated enough and they feel that cash/debit/credit is working fine for them. It's hard to break old habbits for some people. |

huge if true but I think it could be just rumor. may be that was the whole reason for the dump so they could now buy them in bulk.  |

Its so sad when we have been made to believe its bounty hunters who dump their bounty tokens immediately after ICO and so devalue the coins on the market. Because of this notion, project managers these days try to delay bounty rewards while some even go ahead to give small rewards so that the actions of bounty hunters will not affect the price of their coins. Now I participated in this bounty and we were paid late as usual. We went to the market and realized the price was already down, even below the ICO price. So who caused it ? I think we should have a second look at this issue. Don't you think its the investors who get bonuses during the ICO who try to dump their bonuses for profit and not the bounty hunters as we have been made to believe?. Let me hear your opinions guys
Which ico are you speaking of? I think what you're asking depends on when hunters get their tokens. If market is being oversold before hunters have received their tokens then its definitely not hunters, if it gets oversold after distribution then you may say hunters may be slightly to blame but have you ever looked at how much percentage of total is given to hunters? its less than 5% and less than 2% in most cases so even if they do sell it, it should hardly affect the market. Those who hold most control the market and its never bounty hunters. |

I am observing since last six months...each and every ico is failing drastically...even the most succesful ones which got funded within the time limit...when enters the exchange their price is dropping by more than times....investing in ico these days meaning throwing away your money
Current market situation is solely to blame for failure of ICO along with team giving up when they don't reach the funding that is needed to run the project. I think 2017 was the best year for ICO but we have seen some sharp decline in 2018 but that doesn't mean it will continue. |

would you open a loan to buy the dip? and when it dips again you would open up another loan to buy the dip. and lets say repeat the process. probably no one is doing this. because being in debt is a bad thing. just depends on far u would invest into bitcoin or even crypto currency. sad it has to dip in the first place.
Whats you're asking depends on a lot of things so you would receive different answer from each individuals. I would not do it personally but I can understand why some people might be attracted to this idea but there are too many variables that you have to consider before coming to a conclusion on whether you should take a loan or not. If you're broke and can't pay the loan back if things go south then it's probably not a good idea to take a loan for what some may consider a risky investment. |

Time has pass when news or listing pumps price of a coin,it isnt 2013 or even the same climate as 2017. Newer projects are building some serious patforms that take time. News cant just make a coin pump anymore, neither do exchange listings. Look at coins like Tron etc. being added to a new excahnge everyday. doesnt do anything. Its about results. No point in launching news in crypto environment, Hopefully you guys will join good projects with better future results....2019 is the year
Yes, I'm seeing that a lot and I'm also seeing a lot of them not even hitting the exchange and by the time they get listed price gets cut substantially. I don't know if that's due to things getting mature or current bearish condition. I believe it's due to the latter. |

eth devs has planned a hardfork on 16th jan to halve the block reward of eth to controll the inflation.. what do you think how it is gonna effect the eth price plus sholud we hold some eth for the fork
with current market situation I hardly doubt it will making lasting impact on eth price. I expect it would affect the price eventually but this is probably not the good time if you want to fight inflation as things are happening due to market condition and not because people don't want eth. |

The question people need to ask is if the fund is buying into the asset or what, if there is anything I learnt last year, it is not to base my projections on the so called expeer, most of them said last year Ethereum is going to $2k but when end up below $100. Base your forecast on price on fundamentals it is far better than specualtions
True. Although I am optimistic for the most part I think it's silly to rely on these investors predictions since most of them are only doing it to either gain more attention or they recently invested in it so it makes sense for them to make price prediction to protect their investment. |

I think that this is becoming more and more common lately, so what can we do to ensure that responsible people can be punished?
I think the easiest thing to do is to contact the developers before investing or before you decide to participate in the bounty of this project. You need to contact directly by phone, if it is specified or it is best to go and look at the address indicated on the website, is there really such a company. If this is not possible, but create a theme and ask people to find out if there is such an organization or people.
In general, by any means to identify the identity of these people. As soon as we can add personal identification, these people will not be able to just fool us. Because you can write to them in the police under the article fraud.
The most important thing is that today there is everything necessary in order to really find and punish the people who are deceiving us. I think it's time for us to start doing it, otherwise the ICO may die.
If you have any other suggestions, I will be glad to hear them.
It would be quite difficult to track them if they're using fake identity which I'm sure they're if they're fake. Laws is not up to date on crypto related scams as far as I know. Best thing you can do is protect yourself and inform others about it so they can take precautions. |

There's a lot of price predictions on Twitter, some more serious, some less, and some hillarious. We could put together a list of predictions from people who are somehow important players in the crypto space. Bobby Lee has a cool point (let's hope;): If history repeats perfectly, then the current bear market for #Bitcoin would bottom out at $2,500 next month, in Jan 2019. And then the next rally would start in late 2020, peak out in Dec 2021 at $333,000, and then crash back down to $41,000 in Jan 2023. Something like that?🙂 https://twitter.com/bobbyclee/status/1071100283638280194Lee has made many predictions in the past but only few of them have come out correct. I am not sure how he thinks that bottom would be 2500 next month and then it would stay there till 2020? it's hard to understand how he formed that conclusion when market rarely stays at its bottomed out price for years. People had made predictions in the past about bitcoin price but most of them have been flat out wrong but I imagine it's a good publicity strategy that help you gain more followers. History does repeat itself but not exactly and there is no timeframe for when and how exactly it would be repeated. |

This Federal Reserve policy change Is the BIGGEST thing happening In crypto right now.
Bitcoin is close to putting in the low and setting up for an epic bull run. Legendary Trader Paul Tudor Jones shares his insight into a Fed policy shift. Learn why that is the most important thing happening in the cryptocurrency markets right now.
Super interesting, learn why,
lol. looks like self promotion of some sort but okay. I don't think Paul can actually predict the future just like many other predictors out there and I would take it with a big grain of salt and wait for something from officials although it's unlikely that it would affect anything. |

I participated in the cryptassist ICO a few months ago, and I chose this out of the many projects I could have done the ICO, but still no listing.
This is because of the market, but I strongly believe that if the project is good enough, the team should not be scared of listing
Unless they want their tokens to drop to nothing I don't see a point in listing on major exchange during these times. Besides, some exchanges charge large sum of money to list token which can keep people from using them. I am not sure how they can continue to function like this and if they don't change their business model something else will replace them soon enough. |

Sorry for this naive question. But I always have this doubt in my mind.
In my opinion, it should not since Blockchain is engine and Cryto is fuel.
Anyhow, I am afraid that I might be wrong.
Cryptocurrency in this Cryptonomics seems promising but lacking of adoption I would need more advice from your guys.
Yes, I don't think its a stupid question but blockchain in itself has variety of uses that may or may not be related to cryptocurrency. If you look around you will find out that there are many businesses who are using blockchain but you will not hear anything about them due to them not being in the crypto business and many businesses are choosing to implement blockchain in their system without implementing cryptocurrency which is not required as I mentioned. |

I think countries like Venezuela are the perfect target for cryptocurrencies gaining acceptance. The citizens of these countries have first hand experience of how a FIAT currency can fail them and by now probably realize that their wealth is better protected in cryptocurrencies. I suspect that the merchants in these countries then convert any crypto they receive in to a more stable fiat such as USD.
I doubt they would convert it to USD given their relationship with the US but this is a good news and as I was reading few days that in some US states you can pay your taxes in bitcoin which is a good sign and I hope that other countries follow their suit and begin accepting crypto in their retail as well as online stores. |

gold will never die, people will continue to invest in gold, there is even a cryptocurrency Investment, people still continue to invest in stable gold, many continue to use and prices will continue to rise.
that is true. Gold is a precious metal not only for consumers but there are some very good benefits of gold in other businesses. If we can keep people from consuming gold for show off purposes it's actually best metal there is that can be used to fix many human problems in variety of ways. |

I think that December may be the beginning of a cryptocurrency bull market. There are Christmas and New Year's Day during this period, so I believe that whales will let investors have a happy holiday. But the 2019 cryptocurrency market is still unpredictable.
lol or whales would have happy holiday themselves. I don't think whales care about happy holiday of others. I hope you're right though and I hope we see a bull run by the end of December but I am not very sure since those are usually the days when people are off on vacation and market is generally non-volatile. |
