It has a LOT to do with altcoins! The more the acceptability of bitcoin, the better for the altcoins and the general cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin controls the market as everything in the crypto market is tilted towards it. If bitcoin is healthy or strong, then the entire market including the altcoins will be healthy and strong also with the support of bitcoin. You should know that if bitcoin collapses, it may spell doom for the cryptocurrency market and even this forum may cease to exist. Therefore, every good news for Bitcoin, is indirectly a good news for the alts.

This is very interesting. I have heard of Bitcoin ATMs being used in some countries already including Russia. If this Belgium story is also true, then it is very good for cryptocurrency.

I have also often wondered what is so special about ripple, and why a lot of people are tipping it to overtake Ethereum on the coinmarket ladder. Whichever way, let us see how the rivalry plays out between the two coins.

This will be so wonderful. This is what Satoshi Nakamoto may also hope. Life will be somehow easier with cryptocurrency. People can carry out their transaction without too much hassle.

The people who can afford it more or has a lot to invest will definitely benefit more. But people like your friend with little investment can still profit a little from bitcoin. He can start from software.

There is still a very great chance for the market to bounce back although we are all very skeptical about this for now. We should have started seeing the price increments gradually by now but it is still not so.

This to me is not a difficult task. You can spread the world of bitcoin through several means and in social medial platforms. If you have a business, you can inculcate bitcoin into your payment method too.

When it comes to encourage people to get involved, simply let them know that it is a currency and not a get rich quick scheme.

I don't see anything wrong in giving arms to the poor or the less privileged in the society. Even the holy books also support arms giving. I quite agree that some people who are poor are in that predicament as a result of their negligence. But there are also several other people who may even be far hard working and yet they get nothing. Those who have so much and yet not willing to help the poor in my opinion are just being greedy and selfish. When you die, what becomes of your wealth??? It is best to live a good and generous life instead of living a stingy and selfish life.
Practice arms giving or upliftment of the poor around you. I think you should even be embarrassed when you built your mansion in a community where the other people cannot even have a single room to sleep. I am not saying you should accommodate them in your home, or build a house for all the persons in your community, but you can at least do something to better their situation as long as you still have so much to spare that is idling away.

Try to leave a legacy behind and be remembered for good.
Poverty eradication is what the United Nations is also fighting and it should be the goal of everyone.

This has actually been one of my worries about the motives of some of this countries pledging to help Africa. Are they really sincere? I honestly don't think so. I believe most of this countries are mainly interested in running the continent dry. They only want something they can get from Africa.

I followed closely the recently concluded summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) which took place in Beijing, China. The summit was attended by the Leaders of the 53 member African Union (AU), where the Chinese President, Xi Jinping promised the Leaders that China will cooperate to help Africa achieve industrialization and infrastructural development, among several other promises.

Most of the African Leaders have been in euphoria about this, seeing it as a success story, and believing it will end their perennial problems.

With this, I see a complete Lack of ideology of most African leaders, which is why they continuously ran to foreign countries for help.

Enough is Enough. Africa is a continent with great potentials and abundant natural resources, what the African countries need is a national ideology to set a better economic path for itself.

This ideology would make the government of the day to realize that no nation has enough for her citizens, and that none is willing to play the father Christmas to any other nation; that salvation would never come from outside, it must come from within.

Africa should therefore be aware that no European, American or the Asians can truly help Africans to build Africa.

All what Africans and its Leaders need is ideology. They should all be purpose driven to save their countries.

If Africa wants to truly save itself, then Time to Act is Now!

I don't fully agree with this. The low prices might even drive away some new comers or intending investors. Low prices are not attractive enough to make people want to invest.

Some ICO rating sites are as fraudulent as some of the scam ICOs they rate very high. I don't expect anyone to trust them in order to make any ICO purchase decisions. DYOR.

Good food for thoughts. I think it is sometimes maybe better we just turn our ears away from the media reports once we have already bought a coin and made up our mind to keep that coin on hold till the future.

You are very right with your analysis. The more the risk in any business, the more likely the returns you will get from it. People should not just look at the profit aspects alone, they should also see the ease of transactions across long distances with crypto.

It will really be an exciting thing for the entire world to consider implementing the blockchain technology during its national elections or any other form of voting due to the transparency of the technology.

Cryptocurrency is not difficult to understand for those who are open minded and are very willing to venture into the new technology. You simply need to make little research about it online and in some forums such as this.

I disagree with this post in terms of the Ethereum price. $50 is way too low. I know that there are several scam ICOs but that is not enough justification for Ethereum to continue pulling down.

Do you think that the old aged people have time to start learning something new like cryptocurrency? I don't think so. Gold and silver have been with them right from ages and they will always be more comfortable with it.

I believe having Bitcoins stored in your wallets is safer than banking as long as you have all that is necessary to protect your wallets from hackers. You are quite sure that no one will just wake up one morning to make deductions from your account.

I don't think this fearful people have widen up. It is just too easy to control or remote most of them as if they have no mind on their own to make decisions. They are always shaking.
