To kickstart crypto 2019 I decided to make a Bitcoin mini documentary: https://youtu.be/WgxD5DmS6z8

Things I talked about:

1. Bitcoin's intrinsic value
2. How it could help underdeveloped countries
3. How it could help developed countries
4. Censorship

Now I wanna ask your opinions on my main point which is:

"Bitcoin's intrinsic value is the amalgamation of the platform, its users, and its development."

Now I know some other more famous crypto influencers have mentioned things like decentralization, cost of production, etc., but I think those things are a means to an end and not the endgoal themselves. Like decentralization is for the purpose of censorship resistance and fraud prevention.

So you I wanna know your opinions guys. Agree or disagree doesn't matter as long as you explain your point. https://youtu.be/WgxD5DmS6z8

Are coins and tokens that have good value like 0.02 or even 0.2cent on exchanges with no volume the same bad news as coins that haven't made it to an exchange yet? what do you guys have to say about this? i am currently holding two different tokens with good value but no trading volume, any hope for such projects?

Hi,

I have some questions where I have been thinking about the past week.
Why do you trust some website/company with your bitcoins?

Let's say a bitcoin casino, what makes you deposit bitcoin?
Is it the provably fair? Does it mean you trust a site when the game is fair?
Is it the looks of the site? The amount of users there are? If there is an open chat where you can see active users?

Or something else that doesn't have a game that's fair, for example a bitcoin exchange, how do you trust them?

Overall: What makes you trust bitcoin related services?

Another question: What does a new service need to earn your trust?

Lol, that was so funny, but yeah indeed true at all. Anyway, yeah that's why we should be careful if we don't want our face going viral over the internet with the crime we didn't commit at all, so for me, doing KYC is good for exchange only, but for airdrops, I won't entrust my personal identity, I would not rather join, than using my identity in illegal matters. Still, my reputation and dignity is the most important thing.

as we know that in 2017 many ICO were successful (at least reached softcap) and of course the market cap was also very high at the time, so it proves that many people are interested to investing in cryptocurrency, but now where do these investors go? because now the market cap is down and many ICO or IEO are failing (not reaching softcap), are investors no longer interested to investing in cryptocurrency? if yes, where are they investing now? or is there a more profitable investment than investing in cryptocurrency for now?

If we talk about the gambling industry then surely Bitcoin would click them together very well since websites who are involved in gambling don’t ask too much information even if you win and on top of that there are no taxes to be paid which would be deducted to your prize.

Though personally, I think that the gaming industry would soon accept Bitcoin since the issues in the past had already settled.

The creation of blockchain came with possibilities and predictions of a future where intermediaries could be eliminated entirely. It is capable of executing millions of transactions within seconds at a lower transaction cost and requires no centralized authorization.

With the blockchain trend going on as strong as the moment, is it possible that blockchain will replace banks any time soon in the future?

free token from airdrop or bounty program.
its no need difficult rule when you join airdrop. and there are many rule when you join bounty program. and this two give you free coin after complete the task. mostly, im join on bounty because airdrop like shitcoin.

My greatest fear is hackers gaining access to wallet I am having fear over the growing sophistication of hackers on the daily basis, if big exchanges despite their huge financial resources that can get hacked then an ordinary crypto hodler would have to be extraordinarily careful. I am not bothered by the market going down having in the crypto system for some years now and its very obvious when the price dumps with respite to bitcoin its pumps again and my private keys are well written on a paper and kept in my cupboard.

If you have followed for a long time and believe that the project is good, that is your choice, I see that your bounty is still in the presale stage with an additional 3 weeks, and they plan to do Ieo in November. I don't recommend continuing, but for your note that projects with "working products" like these have good records 2 years ago, but I don't want to equate them with the current conditions.

Maybe you are referring to bitcoin debit cards. Actually there are many bitcoin debit cards such as Bitnovo, bitstamp, bitpay, shift,Uquid, Wirex, Spectrocoin, Revolut and many more. But the problem is that its hard to find some debit card that is available in South America usually these debit cards can be used in USA and Europe.

After learning about sessia in the past i later realize that i have missed another good project again, at that time they introduced bounty campaign for bounty hunters, i was just too blind to see the potential, its a good project but my advice is to invest only what you can afford to lose, its a new projects and many new projects are failing, even those that have a good start

Decentralized EXchange is what you are looking for. But don't expect too much liquidity compared to centralized exchange that asking for huge fee. The fee that you paid will be used to pay market makers to trade on there exchange using your coin.

Binance claim that they have no listing fee but it's totally BS. You will never find a trusted exchange that has no listing in all the current exchange available. All exchange offering listing fee is SCAM or has Zero traders on it.
Your chance to get free listing is to win the voting competition of the exchange which is very hard since other project are paying people just to vote for there token. You really need money to list your token in a trusted exchange. That's the sad reality on crypto world.

We are now bound with the unstoppable development of our financial system. We are then before bound to the banks that holds our funds and finances. The emerging technology of blockchain and the creation of bitcoin set us free from all the restrictions that we had from these third parties.

Here are some advantages of banks according to Difu Wu(2014):
1. good Liquidity
2. secure place to deposit money
3. gaining interest on deposits
4. allows us to gain loans and investments

reference: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-the-banking-system

From this, we can see that bitcoin smashed these advantages on how we benefit from its capabilities:
1. Irreversible Transactions
2. Paper no More
3. Volatility (Provides huge profit from investments)
4. Fast Transactions (Anytime and Anywhere)

reference: https://bitcoin.co.th/benefits-of-bitcoin/

And here's my own view on how bitcoin impacts on me:
1. My funds are much more secured and easily accessible
2. I can send money if I want it anonymous (Through mixers)
3. Multiple source of assets (Trading and freelance works)
4. Bitcoin is an eye opener on the world's future
5. Bitcoin is the future

There are some cases that most of the people don't see the goodness that bitcoin brings, and on our nature, we feel the urge to educate them and teach them about it. But most of the time, spoon feeding the information to those who's mind is close will not bring any good to bitcoin. There is one thing they need to understand even if we don't tell them to, if they don't like bitcoin, then don't like the future.


If you have more experience where bitcoin impacts you positively, you are  free to share it on the comments below.

I am probably the biggest fan of that famous phrase "Do what you love & you'll never work a day in your life" so if your daily job is not making you happy then something is really wrong or with you or with that job.. try to find something else to work with, something that makes you pleased to work.. if investing is what you like why don't you try to take it as a full time job? I know it may not be that profitable at the start but once you really understand how it works and spend your time to study about the cryptos market things probably gonna be way easier for you

if you invest in bitcoin from now on in my opinion it will not be guaranteed in the future what it will be,
I'm not saying if it's too late, but I hope you have a strategy for this

I have seen many exchanges have launched their own token like Binance with BNB, Idex with IDEX, Hotbit with HTB, Yobit with YO etc. where exchanges use their own tokens as another way to pay fees to support token. In addition to it, different strategies are used to create a hype like decrease in supply etc.
But if an exchange goes through a hard period of time and shuts downs then ultimately that token will come to its end because there is no community other than that exchange supporting the token simply because it has no usage outside the exchange.
According to me exchanges should promote the usage of their coins/tokens outside the exchange to build a community in support of it. If your community consists of huge individual entities who believe you then a great community can be formed. Otherwise lack of applications would lead these things to disaster.

If shopping malls and and market places accepts it, that will help people us it as a currency

This could be through scam promotions on Bitcointalk, Reddit, or any other social media sites, or maybe through Google ads, etc. Instead of just completely ignoring it, spend a few seconds reporting the scam site as to hopefully prevent potential victims from falling for these scams. Even if the difference to be made probably is just minuscule, it could make a difference.

Remember, it only takes a few seconds.
