Lately, there is a big buzz and fuzz on the introduction of the new cryptocurrency (some called it as fake) called as Libra which is under the leadership and influence of the people behind the Facebook social media conglomerate. What resembled like a circus, politicians and other known personalities expressed apprehension that what Libra can bring will put the global financial and economic system under jeopardy and control of a select few men which I assumed the public don't trust.

But I am wondering...is Libra really that potent that it can disrupt the currency financial system or are these people just imagining things which will never happen anyway? Are we ascribing power and influence on Mark Zuckerberg that can turn out to be a dud later?

US users of binance.US now can buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with debit cards. It could really challenge the established bitcoin buying services that takes a large fees from US customers. Though some of the banks are not happy with their debit cards being used to buy bitcoins.

it is too long time and that makes me so tired, i need money to invest a plan,but there is no money
Do you have any idea?

This stuff is getting boring.

Coinbase Pro recently raised it's fees so high as to block out ordinary traders.  Binance kicked out USA traders.  Bakkt is not going to be too much different as they just keep raising the bar and implementing more rules and regulations, making crypto boring.  Gemini is just a greed machine too, while the people who own Gemini are already ultra ultra wealthy, and they just want to keep becoming more and more greedy.

It is just one thing after another everyday and it is all really boring news too.  Bitcoin is all just a bunch of greediness and politics now a days.  This is not a fun environment anymore.  It is taken over by greedy exchanges that are already rich, and they do not have to be greedy either, but the people who run the shows just sorta stuck on creating this stuff I guess.  It is taken over by people who's entire focus is just being greedy.

The actual cryptocurrency businesses out there that employ people are starting to get overloaded with pointless HR style jobs and soon half the industry will just be grouchy HR people, or grouchy bank people.  Also the crypto businesses all require college degrees, which basically guarantees that less creative people will be in there doing anything interesting.  It will be similar to how college administration departments became over run by tons of interns who are paid to just push paper and it makes college diplomas too expensive for anybody to obtain without going broke and into debt.

I also do not like all of the female-only cryptocurrency conventions and meet ups.  Why are they female-only?  Those are like giant planning committees that are planning to just take over and then add more and more worthless HR jobs into cryptocurrency company structure.  It really sucks.  It is like the whole industry is being taken over by lamo's who really do not have much interest in crypto but they can get jobs related to this stuff, and they can get in on some greedy level making everything unsustainable for everyone else.

Interesting.  There is negativity in the whole community too.  Try talking to anybody about your entrepreneurship concepts and everybody just throws mud on it like a bunch of Negative Ninnys.

End of rant.  I am thinking of taking up a new hobby.

Oh man people shill crap here all the time, its hard to say... theres alot of projects people just build and you don't hear much till they do something big, but heres some picks from me:

ADK - Saw that one just yesterday, low cap right now, definitally one to watch and see what it does in 2020
VBK - They had a really shaky IEO, but they have a good team and solid funding now, 2020 could be their year
ETH - PoS might actually happen in 2020, if so, keep your eye to this beauty, see where she goes
GRIN - This is prob the most interesting coin in years, and might just be finding its good bottom in the market. keep an eye on it for sure in 2020 imo
RVN - Strickly $peculation, this coin has some big names around it. Watch for it to maybe not develop much, but probably do some price shit, of course, up or down tho remains to be seen

Indeed. in that case bank is still needed if you hold much more enough that scammers will chase you. because banks had the security that our wallet cant provide. storing in an simple wallet cant guarantee the safetiness  of your money. a lot of users or big traders lost their funds because they trust much of their self. but if you store your money at a bank just be sure that bank are trusted that cant have providers that Only thinking deceit and self.

A project will bring much profit to its investors not because it went through ICO or IEO. A project can yield profit only when it becomes successful in all its developmental stages set on the road map. This will be facilitated by the expertise of the team, the product and how its able to attract investors etc. IEO and ICO is just a method for undertaking the token sales. However, lots of attentions have shifted to IEO because it is more convenient.

I think bitcoin is very strong compared to the other technology. Bitcoin is unique because bitcoin has the secret power to moves and solve every challenge that might comes. But bitcoin needs more support from us, and if we can give the support, bitcoin will be stronger than now, and I think it can defeat anything and bitcoin will reach the glory in the future.

Bitcoin will grow fast and will take more people to the inside of cryptocurrency, and we do not deny because right now, the growing of cryptocurrency user is on good progress and it can affect more growth in the future.

Hy all. How are you. Bitcoin will rise to the moon in early 2020, do you know the reason? One reason is that more and more people are familiar with crypto and the digital world. Thanks.

I like the cryptocurrency due to the privacy, i do not like to send my IDs to anyone even if it is popular and trusted websites, requesting KYC to participate in IEO is against privacy why i have to send my ID to participate in IEO!!
Most of exchanges launched their IEO platform required KYC.
Is there any exchanges run IEO and do not required KYC.

That is one unique thing that I have always read about blockchain, generally speaking everyone irrespective of your believe or political system agrees that blockchain is the technology of the future. Although, the President might not know how it works because largely he might not be technology inclined but his people would have showed this to me. However, this should not be interpreted to mean as an endorsement for bitcoin and other crypto using the blockchain technology because doing that would be farther away from the truth however, there is a bonus there that in as much as there is a loud support for blockchain, there is a subtle support for bitcoin and other crypto whether they want to admit it or not.

Some have speculated that terrorists have discovered a way to use the platform crypto currency to gather identities from different people from all over the world. use their identities for terrorist activities. From threads that i have seen, there are people thinking that some ICOs are used to fund terrorist acts by luring investors into investing into their companies, getting KYC in exchange of money, gather a large sum of it and then run away with big bags of bucks.
IMO, these scenarios have big possibilities since there is the anonymity factor feature of crypto currency, we really do not have the knowledge as to whom and where the money will go for when it was transacted in cyberspace.

what are your thoughts on this?

Hello Everyone, today i will be dropping some hints with regards to the New Model in the Crypto Space and i think this have the possibilities as well as the capabilities of replacing the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO). Remember in the early days we have to queue up, set our alarm in other to participate in the Initial Coin Offering (ICO). But since 2019, there have been a shift in hands whereby IEO becoming the other of the day by replacing ICO's.

I came across Initial Model Offering (IMO) and i think this too have the possibility of taking over from IEO come 2020. This might definitely be the new revolution because of the way it is being design... Now this takes us to "What is IMO"?

IMO is the revamped "IEO" that continues to be privately funded as the project progresses, which varies from 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or even longer as the project continues to developed. In this way, exchanges and investors can continue to withdraw as the project progresses.
Phased batch investment greatly reduces the investment risk of investors. At the same time, the project party is encouraged and supervised, so that the project can develop healthily and ultimately return investors.
Therefore, each project needs to be excellent enough, and the IMO Eco-Platform will strictly control and take certain guarantee measures.

The beauty about IMO, Unlike IEO that occurs in the wallet itself. Rather, the IMO Ecology consists of two(2) parts; the IMO wallet and the IMO exchange.
The IMO Wallet: This can be used for digital asset storage and IMO Private equity investment. That is the presale occurs in the IMO wallet App.
The IMO Exchange: This is a trading platform where you can exchange/trade your digital assets. All tokens/coins being sold in the IMO Wallet App are automatically listed in the IMO Exchange.

About The IMO Ecology
Each blockchain project needs to go through the links as fundraising - development –market. The whole process takes 1-2 years to complete while it is too long for investors. In order to solve this problem, IMO ecological model have emerged. To put it simply, IMO is a high-quality private placement platform which enables projects to obtain investment periodically through continuous limited private placement, and the project will continue to be privately funded with development progresses and stage results. Generally, private placement activities last for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or even longer. IMO adopts various advanced mathematical models to control the private placement and market of the project at different stages. During the private placement period, the exchange and investors observe the development of the project and decide whether to invest or exit as the project progresses. Periodically batch investments greatly reduce the risks of investors. In the meantime, it also gives encouragement and benign supervision to the project side so that it can develop healthily and eventually give investors returns. Hence IMO ecological platform will strictly select and check to make sure the quality of each project be excellent, and take certain measures to ensure the interests of investors.

There seems to be a trend not yet recognized by many experts and that is the withering interest of the people on Bitcoin, especially if we compare today with the days of 2017 and early months of 2018. Of course, we could not expect that people will always like, search and talk about Bitcoin for years. There will always be a plateau and a possible downtrend, sometime somehow.

Is this something we have to accept or should we do something about this?

In my own opinion, it will be just fine for bitcoin not to be regulated by the government because if the government will regulate bitcoin they might see every of our transactions and earning in bitcoin could have taxes, which everyone will not agree. It's true that gold could be accepted by the government due to it's physical form, but bitcoin don't need to be accepted because it depends to the person if he/she will accept bitcoin as a payment and as a currency.

My suggestion to you before going to buy any altcoins or tokens you have to some research about what kind of business they will do and check the team members if you have any doubts do not invest. better is you can invest any top 20 coins like neo, torn, xlm and more hold for long term sure will get good results for your investment.

Hello, I see you're still very new here, it's good to read the thread in Beginners & Help. And it's best to pay close attention to the topics and content you create so that you do not typo. Being more active in reading and interacting will also enhance your experience and knowledge
If you are really new, try to learn more deeply. Try it with a trusted local exchange in your country, which can deposit with fiat used in your country. Learn how to analyze the market well, don't just be affected by FOMO. The point is you have to really understand the cryptocurrency ecosystem first, so as not to get caught up in fraud and loss.

As long as Bitcoins has its volatile price and everyone see's this as a worth to invest. it will still run for a long. because everyone thats still buy, hold bitcoin because of its price. they want to play like its a game if they won they get a profit. No one can outdo or replace bitcoin at this current situation that everyone needs and want bitcoin as our main currency that will be use in future. Bitcoin will remain at our oldest age and be our main virtual currency use everywhere.
