I don't think it would be nice if every country has it's own cryptocurrency. You can see so far, that every county known for corruption has shown interests for launching a national cryptocurrency. The reason is quite simple: they want to control their citizens and escape of another contries sanctions. The first point is a big pity because in every corrupt countries the citizens often have some disavantages to criticize authorities. The government will have an interest to get rid of them and by using a own cryotocurrency the government can watch it's citizens and decide wo has to go to prison.
The second point: Escaping sanctions is nothing to argue against, it's up to the country and maybe better for the citizens.

The problem is if you have a national cryptocurrency it's a central one, controlled by the government. This is not good. The can abuse it for it's own interests, get informations about the utilization or manipulate it.

It's better to have a strong global and decetralized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. It can't be abused by local authorities because it belongs to all people.

So a national cryptocurrency can be seen critical because it depends on the government, and if the government is nasty, then you'll have some trouble.

Posting history almost the same.

Same here, ETH is still very cheap now. Time to buy. Don't know if we can get in so cheap like right now! If market gets up again, it is to late maybe.

But you never know how prices will develop in future. So it's only my personal point of view.

No it isn't finished yet, so we have to wait and it is still a chance of getting to new all-time-highs. A bullrun in Q4 is still possible.

I really appreciate the points OP made here. I'm not participating in any signature campaign, but if you want to join some other campaigns it can be helpful to analyze your estimated rewards before beginning your work for this bounty.
The number of participants is really important or the amount of tokens reserved for every part of this bounty. There are some differences. So a good analysis of the project and also a good analysis of the bounty is necessary.

It counts only if a registrated member enters your topic, not registrated members won't count. You can check it easily, if you log out and enter a topic, the counter doesn't change. If you are logged in the counter goes up.

It doesen't work to click your post several times in a row - to avoid cheating. The counter will be stuck at the original number of views, even if you click 10 times. You have first to read another topic.


This is a big problem and maybe some projects pay for this "bumping" obviously. This creates a big amount of shitposts like "nice project", "very interesting project" or just "when moon?" 

Bitcoin isn't failed, it's still in development.

Bitcoingarden is similar: https://bitcoingarden.org/

Genesis Mining is ways better than Hashflare.

It's not a scam, but it is one of the shittiest exchanges out there. If you have an ICO and you lists your Tokens at HitBTC, you want to loose investors. I hope you can transfer your BTC finally, good luck.

I don't trust Hashflare and strongly recommend against any investments. Hashflare is one of the worst legit cloudminers, limiting the contracts to 1 year and the high fees are really bad.

HitBTC is one of the worst exchanges, if you like, you can call them ShitBTC.

Bitcoin is still at it's beginning so yes, there can be lots of changes. But if we are realistic this will be the future, Bitcoin will stay. At least as digital Gold.

Good advice! Losses resulting of mistakes from yourself are really bad, because you can avoid them.

Oh sorry, I didn't see it.

I have a question and/or suggestion regarding the Merit system in general. It's running not long, so there might be some aspects we can still make better. The topic I want to brought up to discussion:

All your received and given Merits are hidden after 120 days, you can see the statement in your profile if you check your Merits:

Sent in the last 120 days
Received in the last 120 days

Since the introduction of the Merit system in January 24, 2018 more than 120 days are passed and now some entries are getting hidden step by step. This can be seen in the Merit history, last day you can find will be January 30, 2018. Example from theymos: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=35

Maybe we should think about a change here, the Merit history is a goog indicator for detecting alt accounts by Merit trading. If 120 days are passed, dectecting will be impossible. Also everyone can see connected accounts by having a look in the Merit history.
If we hide all sent/received Merits after 120 days, all Merit trades before are getting hidden. To avoid Merit trading it can be a good decision to show the entire Merit history.

Very helpful post, I would like to merit it, but I have none 

And if you want to show all token you have there, you can have a click at "Token Balances" on the right side. Then you'll see all the token and the amount stored there.

Merit system is neccesary, only thing is we need more sMerit in circulation. Maybe we will hear some news regarding this. Releasing more sMerit would be a great decision to everyone.

Seems to be that this page is no longer avaible, but thanks for sharing.
