There's always non-believers, they think that just because they don't agree with it, or because they don't understand it, that nobody else will and the market will not accept new technologies. This is exactly what is happening with cryptocurrency and blockchain. There is a lot of potential for these technologies, and only those with the breadth of mind can process the true potential.

These people are the same people who didn't believe that Amazon would become huge, and now they're kicking themselves for not buying shares when they were $20 each a decade ago. We, my friends, are the new elite, and soon everybody will be jelly.

Well, you should probably change your statement to say most modern cryptocurrency investors are cowards. You have to give credit where it's due to the guys that invested significant sums at the very beginning, there was almost no indication of how far the technology could go back then, and yet they still had the courage to risk some of their savings to play an extremely risky game. Yes, these guys are the whales and millionaires you see around today, most of these guys are early adopters that took the risk that few people would, and now they're reaping the benefits.

I actually commend them for their courage, though modern investors are much weaker hands, that's for sure.

There is no need for banks to accept Bitcoin, if you notice, banks only accepting 1 form of currency at a time unless you're doing foreign exchange, I don't think the day will ever come where you are able to create a bank account and store bitcoin in that account, it might be used for forex purposes but that's about it.

I think that the potential for them to accept blockchain technology is much more likely, such as IBM hyperledger as I've seen a few banks working with this now, but Bitcoin is quite unlikely in my opinion.

Cryptocurrency will survive for as long as it has utility, right now, cryptocurrency has a lot of current utility, and a lot of potential utility still to come. As the strength of cryptocurrency and blockchain continues to grow, so too will the usage of these as a platform for change. It will take a long time, and will require government, corporation and consumer interest to really take off as many expect.

Artificial scarcity is usually quite obvious, and just because a token is scarce doesn't mean it's in demand, lowering the circulating supply wont necessarily increase the value of the token as it doesn't increase user interest in combination. For most projects, lowering the circulation will have little to no effect, as though the value of each individual token may increase, the absolute market cap will remain the same, and so as soon as the tokens are re-added back to circulation the rate will drop concomitantly.

Yea, let's all waste merits giving it to somebody who will never use this forum again, and will never see that he has been merited, what a perfect use of the merit system. Or, here's a better idea, how about giving them to active users of the community who deserve it? Do people really think Satoshi gives the slightest damn about merit? He is already merited enough having created the literal system that stands to change the world.

There's a difference between saying coinbase got hacked, and saying that YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT was hacked. It's exactly stupid headlines that this that contribute to the FUD that surrounds cryptocurrency. I've noticed that it's always low level noobs that have got no idea about how hacks actually work and yet shout their mouth of saying HACK HACK HACK.

You were probably infected with a remote assistance tool and somebody logged in and took your coins, very simple.

Almost everybody in their life has an idea that could be worth billions, however the major difference between those with ideas, and those with billions, is results! Ideas are completely worthless, the only thing that matters is effort and output, if you put the effort into forming a team that can make the idea become a reality, then you might stand a chance at making the billions.

If your idea isn't inspiring enough to generate a team working pro bono, then it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to achieve huge success with it.

How do you expect Bitcoin to achieve corporate adoption without being approved by the governments? Do you think corporations are rogue entities that like playing around with regulations and participating in greyish behavior? The answer is no. Regulations preceeds corporate adoption, and hence regulation is the key to a much larger market overall. The only people that don't want regulation are the idiots who can't see the bigger picture.

It really doesn't matter what a communist country does. Everybody knows that China has an extremely restrictive government. The bans in China were more to protect their control over their population, rather than actual concerns about energy or price manipulation. I doubt many more countries will follow suit, and certainly none of the G20 countries will as they tend to value freedom of choice, regardless of the cost.

People keep saying it's always going to be next month, next month, next month. However, the truth is, nobody knows if, or when the market will recover. Right now, there's no indication that the market has any major strength, several ETFs have been rejected, no new corporate partnerships as of late, and very little public interest in investing in this sector. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge believer in the technology, but these things don't change overnight, governments and corporations move extremely slowly, it will take a while until the promise of blockchain is recognized by them.

Well, most of the concern for many projects is how they're going to grow their user, client or investor base. The blockchain industry is definitely an advertising heavy industry, I think that it's quite necessary to have a reasonable marketing budget otherwise client onboarding with be quite difficult. That being said, a lot of these projects are requesting unbelievable soft caps, typically requiring up to $10m to build often relatively simple products.... Very poor money management going on, as VERY few softwares cost $10m to build.

People who really understand the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in general don't really have any doubts about where this whole ship is heading. The only confliction is the want for instant rewards, rather than playing the long game.

The facts are blockchain technology is a genuine revolution, sometimes new technologies take a while to be seen for the revolution they are. Once we have a real, useful dApp and government support in even a small country, blockchain will start gaining credibility.

Definitely, I'm thinking that Logan is going to smash him (without headgear). Just imagine how enraging it must have been to be at that UK press conference, have the entire crowd call your GF a hoe, egged on by KSI and trash on your family in front of the world. That must be serious ammunition to want to destroy KSI in front of the world.

Right now, its roughly EVS for KSI/Logan on most sites, so I'd say that the odds are actually in our favor to bet on Logan to win, I hope KSI gets devastated as his overconfidence is bordering annoying now.

It's very simple, if a project doesn't have a team, then it's either a scam, poorly developed or is an anonymous coin such as Monero.

If in doubt, ask questions questions questions. Don't be afraid to go to their Telegram community and start questioning why they don't have a team, if you get banned, then you know something us up.

I definitely stay away from ICO bench as those reviews are regularly bought here on the forum. Sometimes I look at ICOdrop but they don't really have a detailed analysis that I would like. So I tend to use word of mouth, and join the telgram community before making any investment so I can look at the overall vibe and level of interest from the community.

Why do you think that a single boxing match outweighs the entire fighting experience that Logan had throughout his teenage years? It's definitely not going to be an easy fight for any of them, but Logan Paul has the physical attributes that could help him beat KSI, despite his 1 win against an opponent that didn't fight back.

True that on Deji though, Jake will completely smash him.

Ethereum isn't trying to be the next Bitcoin, it's trying to be something else entirely, a platform in which the entire blockchain future can be built. Bitcoin is a pure cryptocurrency, it doesn't have any smart-contract or dApp functionality, whereas ETH has the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) which is used for running decentralized programs. Sure, it works as a cryptocurrency, but that's only a small part of it.

Only those that are tradeable on exchanges can be sold. Typically most bounties are distributed before they're even listed on an exchange so you won't be able to sell them even if you wanted to unless they have a native wallet where you can send it to other users, but then it will be difficult to find a buyer with so few people involved. Best to participate in bounties that have a clear roadmap including exchange listing.

Hold high potential coins and tokens until after the bull run restarts (if ever), sell low potential ones as soon as possible. For every holding you have, you need to analyse the market around the coin and see whether or not it's likely rise in future. Though, for the most part you should sell at any price higher than ICO, as it's unlikely to go much higher for a trash coin.
