Not only is the article old, dating to last year, it also reflects the actions of the a country towards those within it's jurisdiction. The bitcoin community transcends the borders of a single nation.
And while the news was released close to the time of the dip I doubt it had an effect.
5602  Economy / Economics / Re: More Countries Continue To Show Support For Blockchain Technology on: January 20, 2019, 02:19:53 PM
Blockchain technology is the future of data processing and management and also interactions between businesses and individuals, more nations would want to key into and support the growth of the blockchain and fintech industries.
The nation with the most favourable and enabling environment would attract more businesses and upstarts.
5603  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is simply too difficult to buy to gain acceptance on: January 20, 2019, 02:15:28 PM
KYC is a very delicate issue, a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts are against the idea of revealing their personal identity when this is a decentralized protocol, and also the threat of misuse and sale of data.

Btc is supposed to be anonymous and easy but it is neither.

It's supposed to be a lot of other things as well which it is; it is transparent and borderless. It's also irreversible, preventing double spending.
Global adoption would make it easier to own bitcoins without buying them, if it becomes accepted as a currency and means of exchange.
5604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reasons for Satoshi's anonymity? on: January 20, 2019, 06:49:27 AM
I have the theory that because bitcoin was designed to be decentralized and unregulated, the presence of the creator(s) would mean they would exert a certain degree of sway over investors, and would have to choose to discuss the reality or what everyone wants to hear.
Satoshi distancing himself from the technology allows it to be fully in the control of the community.

Anyone who takes their time to do a little bit if research would know which is a better investments.
Bitcoin Cash need ts to be affiliated with bitcoins to get attention, and talking down bitcoin is controversial and sure to get them there needed attention.
5606  Economy / Economics / Re: First Bitcoin ATM in Venezuela on: January 19, 2019, 08:21:46 PM
This would be a very good form of local publicity where people can buy bitcoin at their doorstep, and hopefully this would be the first of many, not just in Venezuela but other countries where the citizens are not very exposed to digital technology.
5607  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Trading 2018 in Review: I backtested 32 strategies with full year of data on: January 19, 2019, 07:51:34 PM
Great analysis. Lots of traders and wanna be traders are made to believe earning percentages which are unrealistic, and they are sometimes blind ti the possibility of losses which is inevitable when starting out.
I am not an active trader as yet, still trying to polish my skills. And always open to new strategies.
5608  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which crypto job is right for you on: January 18, 2019, 02:59:39 PM
If you want to get a job in cryptocurrency

This should read if you want to get a job in the digital asset industry... There is growing demand for skilled personnel in digital technology to cater for the growing industry.
I would advise newbies to prioritize knowledge which would have an appreciating value over time.
5609  Economy / Economics / Re: More than USD 1.5 bln has been stolen from exchanges. Here’s a recap on: January 18, 2019, 02:47:40 PM
All of these hacks are synonymous with centralized exchanges and not a direct breach of the bitcoin network, which has only been flawed once in history. The flaw was quickly corrected and the generated coins reversed.

The security of your assets lies with the holder, avoid exchanges, except during active trades. Do not use an exchange wallet to store funds.
5610  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you describe the situations of the crypto market today? on: January 18, 2019, 10:34:25 AM
On the product, I would say we are still on track, and making a recovery from the last crisis in the mining sector. And with new updates to look forward to.
On the market, most potential investors are a little skeptical about cryptocurrency investments, and trying to grasp the concept of the it's utility and market value.
5611  Economy / Economics / Re: What kind of a crypto business without an ICO on: January 18, 2019, 10:31:08 AM
What do you suggest I do, in terms of making a web site and making money with crypto.
I am good at statistics.

You can offer up your services for hire. There are lots of projects and platforms being launched regularly and there are several boards and also marketplace sections on the forum where you can advertise.
You do not ''make money with crypto', you earn cryptocurrency for your effort and service.
5612  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Upgrade or hard-fork? Is it time to stop over-misusing the term hard-fork? on: January 18, 2019, 07:19:54 AM
The crux of the matter would be those who use the term 'hardfork' which most has associated with, airdrop of new tokens, to scam those who are little informed and obtain personal information.

I have still thought that it is time to add some strict criteria to the term hard fork.

There is no such strict criteria to the term yet. One would not the wrong to call the constantinople upgrade a fork

5614  Economy / Economics / Re: Belarus has launched a regulated bitcoin exchange on: January 16, 2019, 05:39:34 PM
This is a very positive development, and would go a long way in reassuring citizens of Belarus of the legitimacy of bitcoin and selected alternative currencies.
Hopefully it's functioning would be an improvement to majority of the exchanges we have. And other countries follow the trail.
5615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people refuse to accept bitcoin? on: January 16, 2019, 05:21:47 PM
The author of this article believes that putting a small amount of currency you have into BTC can help you protect your wealth.

The reality is that bitcoin is currently being used as an investment option, and its value is prone to volatility, this does not protect wealth, its value constantly changes. This is it's limitation to mainstream adoption.

It is unadvisable at this point ro convert the entirety od your wealth to BTC or any digital asset. Only invest amounts you can afford to lose.
5616  Other / Meta / Re: Ask about account banned on: January 15, 2019, 05:36:02 PM
There is no list of banned users, you can check up on BPIP to know if an account has been auto banned, but it does not state the reason for the ban.
It would be easier to post the account link here and other users can scan through your post history for plagiarism which is the top reason for permanent bans.

Deleting your post is not a ban able offense, nor is it an offence, but it's sometimes hints of accounts changing hands through sake or hacks.
5617  Economy / Speculation / Re: Federal Reserve Blames Altcoins for Dragging Down the Bitcoin Price on: January 15, 2019, 05:27:39 PM
   Consider the following thought experiment. A restaurant selling meals for $10 will happily accept payment in the form of one Hamilton bill ($10) or two Lincoln bills ($5). That is, the nominal exchange rate between Hamilton and Lincoln bills is 2:1. Now, suppose that the supply of Lincoln bills is increased but the supply of Hamilton bills remains the same. The exchange rate remains unaffected […] That is, the increase in the supply of Lincoln bills has led to a decline in the purchasing power of both Lincoln bills and Hamilton bills, even though the supply of Hamilton bills has remained fixed. Might an expansion in the supply of Altcoin have a similar depressing effect on the price of Bitcoin?

I do not agree with this postulation, it assumed that bitcoin and the growing number of altcoin all have the same utility and cabbe used interchangeable. This is not the reality, the vast majority of altcoins and barely accepted by the cryptocurrency community, and the top 20 altcoins hold a very large percentage of the entire cryptocurrency market cap.

5618  Economy / Economics / Re: what should consider before investing in a coin? on: January 15, 2019, 04:44:07 PM
The general advice is to do research, but all ICOs usually present promising projects which looks great on the surface. And if you base your research in the whitepaper and roadmap you are going to be viewing the same promise and prospects.

Many investors do not know how to dig below the surface for thinking unprinted. It's best to seek professional advice when considering a project or ICO.
5619  Economy / Speculation / Re: The market is looking boring 2019 on: January 14, 2019, 03:46:45 PM
I will keep holding it. There is no point in selling. I consider the money as lost.

Luckly Im not a "believer" and didnt put all my money into there.

It's wise to invest only amounts you can afford to lose, but considering it lost after investing shows an apathy towarads the investment.
It makes it easier, to handle losses of you are less attached emotionally. And also makes it easier make major decisions.

This is a good time to learn more about digital technology and explore the industry. This opens more opportunities to earn.

Is it a new feature that themos activated recent days?

Yes, it is a new feature. Using a PC or desktop it was possible to check the last time a post was edited, by hovering the mouse over the post time. However this was not possible using mobile version, so the update was introduced to allow mobile user track the editing of a post.

The link above provides lots of information on this
