Banks don't have the same interests in cryptocurrencies than the population.
The major reason banks are looking after the "crypto technology" are about the secure transactions, saving on costs (up to 30% according to studies, so multiple million dollars saved per year).
Notice I say "crypto technology" and not "cryptocurrencies" because 1) they can't issue a currency not recognized by the country and 2) they are more looking to get their own tech and their own ecosystem (note: JPS Morgan has its own ERC20)
The population is thinking differently.
You can see a part interested in for the speculative point (making money with their speculation) This part is not so interesting. And you have another part concerned, as it allows them to get banked (millions of people worldwide are unbanked) OR to get unbanked. Many people are just tired with banks since a decade and they only want a system allowing them to live without the need of a bank account, and without any control from govt (directly or not)
This is why the cryptocurrency system comes. The real roots are in the anarchist and cypherpunk groups

Did you know that what you are suggesting already exists? Bitcointalk isn't the only forum on the w.w.w.

@RGBKey I own a Ledger and believe me I didn't know it is possible to use on a smartphone device and have no idea how to do since it needs a USB cable (?) @BitMaxz Yeah, but we must give a chance to any new service/product, more we have more it makes the crypto adoption possible. Most of the people find not easy to use Bitcoin so providing a friendly product help with this. @karel88l I searched for but didn't find a photo of the prototype, but apparently, it's a project that started in December 2017 and it was taking pre-orders beginning in Feb 2018. So I am going to believe if it was to set up a scam they should have started already and we would have heard about Tip: Add hole for keyring https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVQP4RIV4AEoCE_.jpg@HCP I hadn't read this. I'm confused, it's contradicting Anyway I will buy it still to test, I'm looking for a new toy. |

Did anyone hear about this new hardware wallet for iOS, Android and mobile devices? It's brushed aluminium and weatherproof There is a third party exchange within the XEEDA App to exchange your coins as well a biometric scanner You can store Bitcoin but not only, Zencash and some others as well If any of you wants to gift me one, I will accept  https://www.xeeda.io/XEEDA is designed with a focus on accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrencies. XEEDA offers premium security without sacrificing ease of use. Your smartphone is something that you take with you everywhere. XEEDA is designed to easily connect to your smartphone and enables you to secure your digital assets. Unlike other hardware wallets that only work with your computer, you can make secure transactions anywhere and anytime using your smartphone and XEEDA.
In order to make a transaction in Bitcoin, you need to sign that transaction with your cryptographic key. Your cryptographic keys are stored in a secure hardware environment in XEEDA’s hardware wallet. Every time you want to initiate a transaction in the Bitcoin network, you can securely confirm the transaction using XEEDA.  |

The set up is currently fine. To enable less than 1 will just create a weakness to the system, and people will jump immediately on it to abuse the system, which so will become not effective as it supposed to be. ut many of them want to participate and say "thank you" to other users This is where members are confused. It's not a Facebook "Like" button l. The merit points are supposed to be given to posts you think "merit" some points. It is different than a post you like. I prefer to give some points to members who I think comment perfectly on a point, even if I disagree with their opinions. Instead of giving points to a member who comments with "to the moon sir" even if I agree/like with him/the post. if you make the system to allow for example half a merit, or 0.1 or 0.3 merit points like you propose, I am going to tell you, in 3 months people will ask for 0.00001 and so on. And to be honest, in my opinion, people who aren't happy with how it is today should blame their buddies, cousins, mother, father wife, grand ma' etc for abusing the forum during a long time. |

Malta is only geographically located in the EU. But they have very loyal tax legislation. We all think that Japan supports the use of cryptocurrencies, but it is not. Perhaps all cryptocurrency exchanges will be registered in offshore zones and this is the only chance for all bitcoin users to restore the popularity of cryptocurrencies.
I don't know much about Japan but It's not because a country is trying to set up some legislation that it doesn't support the topic. Regulation of technology is a trending topic, it's what we call "Regtech" Additionally "offshore", as we know it, doesn't exist anymore since Panama papers and even before. The banking privacy doesn't really exist anymore unless you use some illegal or not ethics values. |

3. the development is centralised to one team (distributed but not decentralised) They represent the majority. and 74% of the crypto users agree with. we can't have 1 million of dev. there is only 1 captain on a boat. Did you really think Bitcoin could evolve with consensus? do you think people like Roger ver have the mentality to use consensus? Do you know what he said yesterday in a conference? Bitcoin kills babies,  everyone was laughing. ridiculous, how do you want to debate with people like this. Look at GNU/Linux as well, so they should use consensus too, but look, nobody, agree with each other, one of the reasons we have +100 OS is because, at some point, a disagreement comes. And it's similar also to the community, you have the Fedora camp, the Archlinux camp fighting with the Debian camp, and so on... I think it's a popular problem with almost everything related to GNU/OPEN SOURCE But yeah we all have our own opinion, it doesn't hurt to debate. But I still say, Bcash is a hostile fork, and perhaps the only one in the Bitcoin series... LN is not the only thing , it needs to be considered. Increasing the block size, to get like 40 transactions per second, will do nothing compared with how many transactions per second Visa or Mastercard transaction can support (visa 25,000 per second, and can go up to 50,000) it's a solution for babies who plan to stay babies. What will we see in some months or years: scalability problem again! We need a 150GB block! But it doesn't fix the original problem, the only wise solution is layer 2 solutions. |

I am not sure what the OP is trying to say with "ICO script" I think there is confusion with his terminology. Your site isn't anything more that just a PSD template (with just 1 page, I can do the same with a Tumblr blog). Any generic template can be like this one, I mean there is nothing special, and there are many other better than the one you posted. |

Helping newbie investors to prevent scams can help our community because if they see bitcoin in their first invest are scam they would lose their trust in this kind of investment so as soon as possible help newbies to start in bitcoin journey. Bitcoin is a currency and can't really be a scam. What people are doing with is another thing. But perhaps if some people in the Bitcoin community could stop firstly to consider Bitcoin as an investment and their cash cow it could help. These same persons considering Bitcoin as an investment are misleading people and giving false hope. Nowhere on the white paper, nowhere from Satoshi you will see something labelling Bitcoin as an investment. This is the sad thing, from a currency you turn it into a speculative asset. Guess why you rarely see cryptographers commenting on Bitcoin?

Well, we are all humans and make mistakes from time to time and so we learn from it. But in his case, it was a really really big mistake.
As he said, he is a tech guy and not a guy for management and other things
Some people can't accept the fact that they can't do everything for the company and they need to rely on staff.
At least, he doesn't look really interested in crypto as for today and he is focusing only helping the MtGox bankruptcy

Yeah true, however, it's always more easy to deal using your keyboard than face to face. This is the first time I regret to not have an account there. He can't talk about everything as he isn't allowed to by the court and the current investigation. At least an "I am sorry" is better to read than an "I don't care" Can you imagine if the same happens here with Satoshi  |

This account is now managed by Bitwala GmbH, previously Safaru B.V.
What do you mean? Safaru and Bitwala isn't the same entity? Or does this company operate other subsidiaries and now Bitwala separates its activity from this branch? ...the services of Safaru B.V., a private company with limited liability... the services of Safaru B.V., a private company with limited liability It's what the T.O.S. are showing |

r/btc/ is the btrash reddit for the propaganda, right? I always confuse btrash reddit and the real bitcoin aka bitcoin
To be honest, the article isn't mentioning a single time bitcoin, but just about ico, etc..., so .

I have read the article but didn't understand almost everything I think lol.
So the article is just suggesting balancing your portofolio, which is like diversity (?) which is one the golden rule while investing.
Investing $5,000 and split into 5 cryptos ($1000 each = 25%) and then change the value of these same 25% to 20-22-24% ?
..with a fixed amount of time between each rebalance.
Is it this?

If the Schnorr signature protocol is not robust enough, badly implemented, broken or whatever. What could be worse for Bitcoin?
(Speaking of the technical side and not the speculative.)
While most of us are excited to see these solution coming, there are still some fears we should have, don't you think?
Schnorr needs to be robustly developed and tested prior to potential rollout, because Bitcoin is a multi-billion dollar market cap, and not a test environment in your VM with a 250 Mb ram
Didn't we have the case, developers found that Schnorr signatures made Bitcoin susceptible to new ‘rogue attack’ vectors ?
It can also be considered as a threat so, the word may sound exaggerated but...well

They are so understaffed for the current forum activity, there are a lot of sections in need of some new faces added to handle the moderation. But to be honest. your rule is not acceptable for a moderator. I know some users can be really evil but your condition is too radical While I agree with you such members can be annoying, It could lead to a situation where everyone wants to have his own rules, and moderators would have to respect and apply the thousand or rules created by different people. And some could be conflicting with each other. Can't you simply open your topic in a self-moderated mode? |

So, according to you, Bitcoin doesn't exist anymore. It disappeared like some animal species on earth. Because if none is following the original Bitcoin's ethos etc, then there is no more Bitcoin.
If it disappeared liked some animal species then it's the Darwin theory. it can be applied to money as well. I am a fork myself, doesn't mean I have to follow my parents ethos
