Recently, I heard that China banned holding cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency transactions, so does that mean that having cryptocurrency in China would be a criminal offense? Moreover, why create such a ban in the first place?

Coca Cola bottles use blockchain technology to manage their cross-party transactions.

A report from Business Insider today November 5, 2019 reveals that Coke One North America (CONA) - a technology company that manages IT operations for bottling soda coca cola - uses blockchain technology developed by the German software company SAP to manage its supply chain.

Able to Manage 160,000 Orders Per Day
CONA was assigned to manage a platform as a watchdog for several franchises that produce, ship bottles, and ship 160,000 orders for Coca-Cola products every day. Andrei Semenov, senior manager at CONA, told Business Insider:

"There are a number of inefficient cross-company and multiparty transactions. They passed a number of intermediaries; and this is very slow. We feel that we can overcome this problem and save more money of course. "

With the blockchain, CONA hopes to reduce the duration of order reconciliation from 50 days to just a few days. Ledgers that are distributed across organizations and transparently will provide real-time insight into transactions carried out by all the different bottlers in the network, which generate revenues of more than 21 billion US dollars per year.

yes, everything will be faster and easier for calculations and transactions if it uses a blockchain. more transparent and efficient.

So basically there wont be any point where bitcoin will lose its dominance. Nothing can takes it place. Actually that makes sense too. Now bitcoin was the first digital currency and laid foundation of digital coin market. Altcoins depend on it, how can they dominate it. Halving is going to be a climax for sure. Bitcoin will be rising high after the event. So bitcoin will remain the number coin forever.

It often happens that people go out to play a variety of games of chance with a certain amount of money, but in the end they spend everything if they are gone. How to prevent which technique you base yourself on to spend no further. It's hard to just give up, people persistent in gambling that day, so they can't just tell themselves they'll try tomorrow. Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?

With so many controversies arising from this tech giant's ambitious actions, we never truly asked the most important question.

Would the people actually use Libra should it be approved by the congress?

in my country Indodax is safest exchange to date and I always make purchases and sales there and change to fiat, but many people also recommend binance as safe place, actually it all depends on you alone in maintaining security of your password.

There's no secret on gambling because the main factor on this is luck. Probably every game, luck is existing and not all of the players have luck on their side. Gambling is very mysterious and it's very difficult to predict every game.

Having a discipline is also a factor but I can't say it's a secret on gambling because it's a character we should apply on ourselves.

We are saving for a house down payment of 40K.  I don't want to leave it in the bank as there is a old judgement they can take any time so i want to store it in crypto as we grow it over the next 6 months.  Is a stable coin the best option?  Thoughts?

Each generation has their own weaknesses and strengths, actually, majority of the millennial are career oriented, they are competitive and would like to become rich at a young age, so I don't find any reason for us not to believe in them, when in fact the generation for people who are becoming interested in technology is becoming younger and younger.

The country is set to implement an unprecedented restriction on the use of cash.^[1] This is doubtless the first time that a country is to implement such bizarre measure to counter the abuse of cash. Somehow, this national policy is implying that cash, at least within the country, is being abused for various illegal activities.

While some business communities are against such drastic measure as it would certainly affect their day to day operation, an idea pops out that they could actually circumvent this policy by adopting the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.^[2] An ordinary household in Malaysia is said to spend around 8,000 Malaysian Ringgit (RM) per month, way below the 25,000 RM limit. But still, a lot are clamoring to increase the limit as the current proposed limit is way to low.

Would you care to share your thoughts on this? Will this really be a window for significant growth of Bitcoin or crypto adoption in this Southeast Asian country?

Well I am honest by the fact that I am jealous with the winning I certainly don't deny it specially if it is my friend's. I would like to join to if and only my friend don't mind it. Anyway I have no intention of beating my fellow gambler, what I am currently thinking is that I must be winning as well like him/her. Though if he/she don't mind on me joining then I would, definitely. Otherwise, I won't or I will be playing it myself with no intention of beating him/her in the first place.

Blockchain can not replace banks all alone but blockchain technology already used cryptocurrency to  big transaction like bank.I think blockchain can not take this as a bank they can give the useful method like blockchain is secure technology.Blockchain can provide the security system to banks. They could be work together in future.

Discipline for yourself will bringing you to the next step to consider gambling as enjoyment moment because unlike other people who only thinking gambling to earn money but if you discipline during gambling then it makes you more confident when starting gambling but if you lost then you will consider that as usual thing and never thinking to recover your losses so in my opinion discipline in gambling not makes your gambling results better but it will makes your mentally better when facing lost or won

As mentioned in the subject line I am one of those whose life was changed after the bullish market at the end of 2017 but I did eventually lost a huge chunk because of greed. I lost huge amount of money just because I did not sell it off during the peak and wanted the value to cross $25,000 which eventually led to collapse in the market situation and I had to sell it off for a mere $5,000 after a long wait expecting market to recover. The mistake which I made was not selling it when the value declined after reaching the peak. Kindly share your experiences as well as it will help new folks.
