I like where this is going, I never really thought about what blockchain can provide for charity. The church of the future just may pass around the collection plate digitally! I can see the attendees receiving a crowd/group text, asking to make a secure donation through the crypto payment option.

I am not a licensed expert, nor am I qualified to offer financial or legal advice. I'm just stating my opinion.

Never make an investment with any amount you can't afford to lose. Only use what might be considered as disposable income, that is to say, any amount in which you feel comfortable with and won't lose sleep over if you lost it. This goes for any investment you may decide to make, not just cryptocurrency.

Remember to practice your due diligence.

If this news is true, then that seems like good news. It means that people are beginning to put a little bit of faith in cryptocurrencys. Samsung is a household name, this just may be the small start of a big step that will lead to greater adoption of cryptocurrencies.

If Bitcoin ever falls short it might not necessarily be the end. There are numerous alternatives on the market that offer a plethora of utilities that supersede Bitcoin's. Though I feel that a true successor (Bitcoin 2.0) has not yet arrived, instead, the market has many platforms which offer completely different options from Bitcoincoin's blockchain, solving the scaling, speed, and other issues plaguing the network.

Excellent analysis, many overlook the subtleties when it comes to determining which factors are triggering the fall. It takes brilliant assessment skills in order to come out on top, I for one, need to continue to educate myself, in order to become a wiser and more successful investor!

   I agree, it takes the skill of discernment in order to make an accurate forecast in such a volatile market. The slightest bit of stimuli can cause fluctuations, which if one is not careful, could prove to be costly. He has made his fortune, so I personaly take his words to be precious like gemstones. Men like him are usually two to three steps ahead at every turn.

It would be great if they could pass it through, the excitement would certainly cause the market prices to soar. This potential to rise at the slightest bit of stimuli is one of the very reasons for the proposals rejection.
   I believe that in the fututre, a coin of Bitcoin's magnitude will emerge, solving this very dilemma that's hindering any progression from cryptocurrencies being adopted by the mainstream general public.
 

In order to differentiate between the good and bad bounties, you have to practice your "due diligence". If a bounty sounds too good to be true, it just may be. You must study the company thoroughly,  checking their track record if possible, reading their white paper and research any information you can find about the company's team and backround.
    With the emergence of opportunities like bounty campaigns, which provide incentives for completing tasks, one must also expect to see the emergence of likely scammers. Go back and retrace your steps by reviewing all of the campaigns in which you feel you have been cheated. Read their whitepaper, check their site, look for any cracks in the sediments, any which may end up crumbling your trust a later time.
      

Unfortunately mining is a resource intensive operation, requiring constant upgrades to mining equipment, a luxury that many miners can't afford. It becomes a Rich man's game after a while. Only those with the proper resources end up coming out on top!

Because Coinbase single handedly provided a solution to the money transmission issue that at the time was plaguing "LocalBitcoins" users, simply by the taking the proper legal procedures and carefully following the regulations at the time.
    They created a legally compliant Bitcoin exchange that brought the availability of Bitcoin to the common public. The average Joe (with a little know-how) could easily create a Coinbase account and purchase Bitcoin, giving him access to the other coins within the market. Any open minded venture capitalist would have jumped at the chance to be apart of history, had they understood what opening Coinbase would mean!

I think they may not pass any ETF proposal of Bitcoin anytime soon because of the ability of manipulation of the the market through the Wales, or other high stakes holders. It would have been groundbreaking if it they did pass it through though!
 Eventually someone will work out all of the regulatory kinks that's preventing any expansion of crypto reaching new heights.

Wow, this is great if this turns out to be true. Mastercard is a household name. If they really are deciding to contribute to the crypto economy, then other companies may possibly try to compete with them and eventually follow suit, issuing their own patents for Blockchain tech. It is good to see that people are starting to adopt the blockchain more and more. Could crypto be here for the long run?

News like this just might be groundbreaking, creating the kind of sparks that start wildfires! The fact that institutional investors have taken privy to the Bitcoin ecosystem and all that blockchain has to offer.
If some bigwigs are putting their faith in Coinbase, then it surely must mean good news! With all of the regulations rolling out, the path begins to shape, as investors start to blaze a trail. Exciting times for crypto this year, from the crash to the push for mandatory regulations and governmental guidance, every moment is interesting.

Regulations are the main factor behind the crash, once clear laws and policies become established,  then the price will naturally rise. It won't hit $20,000 again this year, but if the governments are willing to reach a middle ground for the crypto community, then we will most likely see better market prices with organic growth, not artificially manipulated pumps and hundreds of scam ICO's.
    The more regulatory action we see, the safer investors will begin to feel, but the more centralized the initiative becomes. It is really a constant tug of war. Be a hero long enough, and you will begin to see yourself become more and more like the bad villain.

Revaluation is needed, so self reflection and introspection is key. Compare and contrast investments in your portfolio, research what could be effecting the prices on the market. Many move blindly off of the strength that crypto is the latest get rich quick scheme, shorting their investment cutting their losses. Really think before you sell any shares, or begin investing.
    There is no right answer to this question because of the nature of its broadness, it leaves room for nothing but subjective answers. What ever your choice will be, don't forget to practice your due diligence friend!

Yes, of course there is. You must first learn to understand the objective, and potentially subjective factors that influence the market and take them into fine consideration.
   The market has crashed because the regulators are cracking down on crypto across the globe. With the U.S leading the forefront, several alphabet agency's such as SEC, CFTC, etc, have been passing judgement this year something fierce. The SEC considers many Ethereum related tokens to be securities. For a  while there the community though Ethereum and ripple might be classified as securities. It is a really tough call, there is no choice but to await guidance on the legal matters. Until the regulations are set in place, people will remain unsure and doubtful, which ultimately affects the supply and demand of the market. The jist of it is simple to grasp, yet the details tend to waiver and can be quite sophisticated.

Thank you, this article has been bookmarked and is very informative. I am familiar with only one of the cards, I didn't know there were other debit services available besides Conbase-Shift. This is awesome news!I It is nice to see that there are many more alternative options available for everyday commerce.

For a scene that emerged from damn near scratch online, to be being a global platform that is starting to see major recognition around the world, Bitcoin has come a long way! With all of this news on regulatory bodies issuing statements and some countries outright unleashing the ban hammer on crypto, the price is somewhat stabilizing.
    I'd say these regulations are needed in order to establish compliance, in what seems like an almost lawless frontier that many say resemble the old wild west (metaphorically speaking).

That's a pretty bold title and say that every campaign is fraudulent, also a pretty bold claim. Now don't figure me wrong, there are numerouss Altcoins/tokens scams rising up what seems like every week now. It really takes patience and a good exercise of your due diligence when investing your time and energy into a bounty campaign.
   As with any investment, it is good to research your potential prospects carefully, many enter the scene with the idea that they will get rich quick overnight, but the truth couldn't be any further. While it is possible to make lucrative income investing in crypto coins, coming on to the scene with a mindset of looking to cashout on Ferrari's and Lamborghinis is ludicrous.

Is there any reference material on this subject and it's possible constituents? The SEC has already warned to be wary of celebrity endorsed crypto related projects. Though he is a superb boxer and proud leader in his country, when it comes to the crypto scene, there are a lot of legal gray areas and uncertainties. If it turns out to be legit, then it sounds like great news, as it could turn out being quite successful.
