While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can help people living in struggling economies, for now, cryptos with their volatility are still not so useful as speaking of business. Imagine, that you are an owner of eg. shipyard (or any other business where you are basing your business activities on long term contracts, which usually are not amendable). You sign contracts for building ships for like 2-3 years in advance. And even regular fiat currency exchange rates can bring the company to the edge of bankruptcy. Until we get over the volatility, we cannot say the problem is fully solved.
But still, a partial solution is much better than having no alternative at all.

Dzisiaj do naszych użytkowników trafiła kolejna oferta, mianowicie za zakupy o wartości co najmniej $250 (bądź ekwiwalentu w innych dostępnych walutach), dodajemy $10 (bądź ekwiwalent) w zakupionym krypto. Należy się do nas zgłosić na czacie i przed transakcją wpisać "SPRING2019". Biorąc pod uwagę to, co dzieje się dzisiaj na rynku kryptowalut, istnieje szansa, że wartość może się zdublować 

Jesteśmy i my, Linkkoin - kantor kryptowalut z siedzibą w UK, działający od 2017, można u nas kupić (z Polski) krypto przy pomocy kart VISA. Jak widać w poście - są tu Polacy w pracy i polski support.

My od siebie jako linkkoin dodać możemy, że sprawdzane jest:
1) IP użytkowników (czyli jak nagle się po kilku logowaniach od tego samego operatora zalogujecie np. z Nigerii, to nie umknie naszej uwagi)
2) Adresy walletów (są listy tych wykrzystywanych przez trefne firmy)
3) Weryfikacja na "podejrzane" transakcje. Np. 89 letnią babinkę, kupującą monero, odmawiającą pełnej weryfikacji i piszącą na czacie w tempie lepszym niż nasza obsługa czatu.
4) Przy płatności kartą, nasz dostarczyciel płatności ma własne systemy oceny czy transakcja jest "trefna" czy też nie.

No i jeszcze bardzo ważne z punktu widzenia was - jako użytkowników. Weryfikacja karty. Jeżeli ktoś żąda pełnego numeru oraz kodu CVV, to powinna się zapalić czerwona lampka. Żaden kantor legalnie pracujący z kartami płatniczymi nie widzi nawet całego numeru karty w spisie transakcji. My sami w systemie w logu widzimy to w formie 1234 56XX XXXX 7890.

Yet if we compare the current trend with past ones, we can estimate that the current situation should end in next couple of months.

Practically limit is much lower because many of the early Bitcoins are lost for good, as lost with the memory sticks and hard discs.

Faith and reputation it is. And such events as Bretton Woods 1944 meeting.

This is why unfortunately some binary options moved to cryptocurrencies, damaging the reputation of the whole crypto community.

Technically, cryptocurrencies were invented to become an independent and private mean of payment not controlled by the government, and relying upon the trust of two parties.
Truly a libertarian idea to be honest.
But libertarianism itself has not much in common with right-wing extremism. Maybe just some meme pool on the internet and dislike for socialism.

Na Polskę obecnie mamy dostępne zakupy przez Visa oraz Apple Pay. Limit dzienny zależy w zasadzie od Pańskiego banku. U nas za 2000 EUR dziennie można bez problemu dokonywać zakupu kryptowalut, wtedy trzeba dokonać transakcji 2x1000 EUR
Weryfikacja u nas to standard - dowód/prawo jazdy/paszport oraz karta. Ważne, coby każdy z tych dowodów nie miał zakrytych rogów i dało się przeczytać dane z nich. Względem karty to prosimy zakryć CVV z tyłu, a z przodu w taki sposób: 1234 56XX XXXX 7890 (karta musi być podpisana).

I przypominamy, że na terenie Polski można dokonać zakupu kryptowalut przy pomocy karty VISA.

Will tell you how it looks like - at least on linkkoin, where we do accept credit/debit cards.
If you buy cryptocurrencies with a card, the payment services are provided by a third party company which deals directly with Visa/Mastercard. We as an exchange cannot see all the details of the card used for the transaction, and therefore card verification is based only using the data we have access to (this is why we ask you to cover your CVV code and part of the card number for the purpose of verification).
As well we accept only cards with 3d secure protection system (usually you confirm the transaction by typing it the code which was texted to you), so then the card cannot be used by anyone else.
Therefore there is no need to be worried about your card being used elsewhere.

At least if you decide to use our services.

Recent forks of its blockchain addressed many of drawbacks BTC had, including high blockchain fees and slow transactions. But can we say that it matured as a currency? Not yet. The volatility is not gone anywhere so far.
As well its reputation as a "digital gold" is a double-edged sword. Bitcoin is still regarded in general as a form of investment, not payment.
What could help BTC in maturing as a currency? For sure trading volume to rise significantly, global-scale regulatory framework (like SWIFT standards for international transfers of money by banking institutions).

It is very likely that we will see the recovery in q4. The blockchain is already a big thing, and the bear market gives us a chance to see the major technical improvements, as in such times quality, not quantity prevails.

Governments are the ones which create the binding law on their territory. If a big country, where cryptocurrencies had been popular is outlawing them, it could be a huge hit for the cryptocurrency market.
But big entities have as well very big impact. Advertising cryptocurrency products on google/facebook is impossible in most of the countries, what was another factor making the bear market longer and worse.

For cryptocurrency the future is bright. Especially because cryptocurrencies brought blockchain The blockchain solutions are one of the best inventions since the internet itself. Applicable in almost all aspects of your life.

Cryptocurrencies during hyperinflation are a replacement for the national currency, which becomes totally worthless. And this can be good proof, that currencies can be replaced by Bitcoin or other cryptos.

Patience is one of the crucial elements. And of course, if you consider cryptocurrencies as a form of investment, not a payment method one crucial rule is: buy low, sell high. And if you see the hype about Bitcoin like in December 2017, it is the moment to cash out the profits. And it works the other way round as well.

So then, how much cryptos do you buy in such a bear market? 

Cryptocurrencies are a perfect solution for people who are travelling. Why keep using currency exchanges all the time (or use the card and pay high exchange fees), if you can have one common in the whole world?

This is by the way how the coin currency had been used when coins were made out of precious metals. You could pay with a golden coin from England in Italy because gold had some universally acceptable value.

Only if the wallets will remain anonymous. But as you can track and freeze it, as proven recently after cryptopia hack - the effect could be similar.
