Before you have anything to do with GRAM coins you should know what rules they have.
They can turn off your account whenever they want!
I guess same thing we can expect from Libra and others...

Bitcoin is first currency with billion of dollars transactions with less fee and lightening fast network so other altcoins be traded with bitcoin

The question is as simple as the subject line,

Do you think AI enabled trading bot really exists?

We often see websites with such claims that they have developed a AI enabled trading bot which generates income for them in an automated manner and anyone who invest in their platform. I strongly believe that these kind of schemes are just cleverly disguised ponzi schemes and no such trading bot really exists.

What's your view on this? Have you ever experienced any such trading bots that generates automatic income for you?

Nowadays the world’s economy seems to be stable in a majority of the developed nations. However, for some of the less developed nations their economies are not doing so well compared to the more developed nations. In these countries, their economies might not be going so well due to conflicts in the regions, mismanagement by their governments and sometimes in the worst-case scenarios corruption by their respective governments.

In such cases, the value of their currencies is not very high in the global economy or in some cases such as Zimbabwe, are worthless to use for transactions. While some people in those countries just use trusted currencies such as the US Dollar as it is trusted by people worldwide, there is another alternative: cryptocurrency.

Considering that their currency is basically unusable, Zimbabwe has adopted cryptocurrencies as a means of trade especially after their banks wouldn’t allow them to make transactions using foreign currency. So far the use of cryptocurrencies there is rising and it probably won’t stop until they fix their economy. This shows that cryptocurrencies can help countries that have problems with their currency.

Another example would be Venezuela. As we know now, the region is rather unstable with their economy not doing so well, however, some of the people there are able to get by using cryptocurrencies which further proves that cryptocurrencies can greatly benefit places with economic difficulties.

Bitcoin mixers have a long history since they came into inception some time ago. They've been a viable alternative for people looking towards privacy within their Bitcoin transactions. While Bitcoin mixers are far from being perfect, they're still one of the best solutions for obfuscating transactions from third parties. The only concern would be that mixing services are centralized as they're provided by a middleman. In effect, this brings a single point of failure greatly defeating the purpose of privacy.

We've seen how Bestmixer got shut down by the authorities. They claim that Bestmixer encouraged money laundering activities which resulted in legal action. The truth is that Bitcoin mixers can be used for both good and bad things. Money laundering is mostly done with Fiat than with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Still though, the perception of worldwide governments against mixers/tumblers seems to be different nowadays. Which makes me wonder whenever Bitcoin mixers will be considered illegal by such entities within the future?

If governments ban mixers/tumblers, then they could easily do the same to privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies like Monero and Grin. It's all a matter of power and control over people than anything else. What do you think about this?

So, recently my personal laptop's hard drive got corrupted and all my data was lost, including private keys for my wallet.
...thankfully I already had a secure backup of them and no coins were lost.

Here I am sharing my technique to beginners so they can back up their private keys the same way I did.

Many of the users might be storing the keys/seed in some written form but physical damage to paper might lead to loss of your funds.

Here's how I do it:

1. Edit an image using notepad, paste the seed in between.
2. Add it to a .zip file and encrypt it by setting a password.
3. Create a new Gmail account and set up 2-factor authentication. Upload .zip file to Google Drive.
4. Remember this account's password, and Never use it. NEVER. Don't save to any password manager, just remember.
5. That's it, you got yourself a secure online backup for your keys.

Don't repeat the password in any step, or else this method might become useless.

I don't know if this is optimal or not, but comments are appreciated.

Because people are always willing to sell their ico coins less than what's on the market, the selling power will always be greater than the buying power unless in rear circumstances.
