The risks and rewards are a lot bigger in underdeveloped worlds. When someone works for pennies on the dollar for someone in the first world they are risking their time to go to waste if the price of bitcoin falls, they are also risking unemployment as well. It is quite important for these people to make sure the money is coming in all the time, yes it is easy because 100 dollars could be all months salary for them but at the same time if they lose that 100 dollars a month then it is even harder to live for them since they are already in a third world country.
Yeah, but I don't think that investing in Bitcoin is interesting for under developed world,the interesting part is that they can find some work in the crypto world paying good enough for their survival when compared to the very little rewarding and available work they have locally. In some countries like Venezuela, people are making a loving out of games that have real cash economy like RuneScape, they farm the in game gold and sell it even if they only few bucks every day which is enough for their survival. For these people, cryptocurrency is a life saver since there is a lot of opportunities to earn some cash without actually investing. |

The question is : Are you less likely to lose coins, if you use one storage method or are you more prone to losses if you use multiple methods.  We frequently hear about some service finding some kind of exploit in their code or some human error, causing people to lose coins. A friend of mine who is really paranoid for it's own good, uses 3 different hardware wallets to store his coins.He told me at first he had only 1 but when he reached a sum of money he decided to stop garnishing that wallet and buy another one for future storage, same happened for the third one.Tbh, 3 HD wallets even if you somehow screwed up with one of them and lost the coins (even if it's unlikely when using an HD wallet) you still have 2 others source of coins to comfort yourself. |

I may suggest to add 1- Nano Explanation: Heavily hyped in the past because of the instant transactions and no fees, though not very performant in terms of price this year. 2-Binance Coin Explanation: BNB price did very well recently and that's no surprise since Binance is the biggest exchange and is doing great job in terms of it's economy and it's utility. 3- Last but not least Monero Explanation: Probably the best privacy coin in my opinion, sustainable investment if privacy folks get hyped Disclaimer:I'm not an investment advisor,therefore I'm not responsible for your investments.This post is intended for discussion purpose only and is not an financial advice.Invest at your own risk. |

En jugeant à partir de ce thread il me semble que le projet est effectivement soupçonnable d'être un Ponzi.. Projet promu par McAfee
McAfee a perdu toute crédibilité il y a bien longtemps  le projet n'a pas son pesant d'or, je sais pas j'ai envie de leur laissé une chance
J'imagine que le seul moyen de montrer que le projet n'est pas un scam c'est de prouver qu'ils ont bel et bien l'or en question (à voir comment) |

Please do no sugarcoat it with thoe good conclusions.
Bartolo is right the whales will be the winner here.
Adoption? ETH have been so long in the crypto industry and trust have been planted to many users. I dont think just because there will be a staking that will happen it would grow that fast. NO! Investors are staying because they have faith with ETH and not because of mere staking.
You are assuming that Adoption= investors which is wrong IMHO.Adoption = more usage, efficiency and added value to companies.It's true that whales will get the biggest part of the pie, but like I said POS is here to make ETH more scalable which means more adoption. i don't think we can call that "adoption", the only thing that can happen is a new group of speculators that would want to earn some free money which they could dump and make profit. [...] "free money" they get and the unlimited supply will start to show its pressure on the market and start reducing the price again.
as a result of that [...] so the price will see bigger crashes.
In both case, either it is POW or POS, there is always rewards given to miners in the first case, to stake holders in the second case.Therefore,I don't think switching to POS would make any change in terms of inflation and price if it's done properly. |

It definitely seems like a scam.It's similar to this one, they ask you to deposit a sum of coins to be able to withdraw what you've earned, but they will most likely run away with what you deposit and never give the rewards, so don't do that.
If you want to add a screenshot, follow the instruction in the first reply in this thread: How do you upload a photo on bitcointalk.org? |

CoinwinkUn site-outil OpenSource qui te permet de recevoir des alertes par email ou par message SMS lorsqu'une cryptomonnaie (que tu choisis bien sûre) atteint un prix prédéfini.Très pratique à mon goût  https://coinwink.com/
Un site similaire a Cryptobubbles mais qui est un peu plus propre je trouve c'est: https://coin360.com/

That may be unintentional from libra or just a coincidence
I don't think it's unintentional.From what I've read the plagiarism is blatant and like I said Facebook have history of plagiarism accusations therefore this being a coincidence is unlikely. Investors won't care about white paper plagiarism because Libra is from the almighty facebook teams so they care less
even though it's true, it will not make any negative feedback for most of investor.
Seriously? If the plagiariasm is proven it would at least make the project lose it's credibility.Who would invest in a plagiarised project |

I was just pointing out the fact that fiat currency is still used for 99.9% of the illegal activities. And this is the case even after 10 years of existence of Bitcoin. A cryptocurrency that is pseudo-anonymous and having more than 100 million users is still not the preferred payment method of the criminals.
If cryptocurrency isn't the preferred payment method of criminals,how can you explain that it's the main method used in the Darkweb? And regarding the exchange hacks, how the currency can be blamed for the loss? If someone robs a bank, are you going to blame the bank instead of the robber?
Not only the robber is blamed,the bank is also blamed for lack of security measures to prevent the rob, similar senario concerning exchanges. Fiat is not protected from inflation, but Bitcoin is.
Bitcoin isn't protected from volatility either which is far worse than inflation. |

I really think that XMR ( https://www.crypto-rating.com/crypto-currencies/xmr/) is a long-term hold. Privacy coins had their time in the sun, but they’ve become irrelevant since no one cares if you can hide your money. Everyone is focused on projects that are partnering with banks, not shunning them. Of course, there’s always a place for black market money, but investors aren’t going to park it in Monero. This is why the current valuation is either right where it should be or too high. Until privacy coins can see actual use, then there’s no reason to rush towards projects like XMR. You got a point there, there is a lot of focus on Bank related projects by investors but not crypto enthousiasts.There is a difference,because investors just want to make a quick buck by investing on interesting projects,on the other side crypto enthousiasts are here for the technology and the privacy it offers, not necessary for black market money.This category of people just value their privacy a lot, therefore Privacy coins get enough attention and this latter is growing everyday because more and more of people are realizing that their privacy is constantly breached in the traditional system. |

POS would be very beneficial for whales, but not so much for regular users. People with one or two ETH will not receive much reward, so there will not be an avalanche of regular people buying ETH, but whales accumulating. Therefore, the answer to your question is no.
I don't think we should focus on the reward aspect of POS, instead we should focus on the technical aspect of this implementaton.It's true that most of stake rewards will go to whales and that's normal, however when it comes adoption I think that POS improves scalability drastically like fast transactions,lower fees etc... Therefore,IMOHO, yes here will more adoption. |

Huawei are already under suspicion for the manufacturing of hardware with backdoors in their networking hardware <switches etc.> Would you trust a company with your wealth that are doing things like that?
There is not a single solid proof that Huawei uses backdoors in the infrastructes they sell. and it is already banned in the US and the UK. Australia and Japan too, unfortunately. Would you trust a company with your wealth that are doing things like that? When centralized entities like this control their own currency and they are backed by a government that does mass surveillance on their own citizens, then it should raise the red flags.
I may agree with you in some points, but Facebook has also raised red flags last year when they sold people's data to third parties (Cambridge Analytica fiasco), even Libra is centralized so to me one is not better than the other. |

I know people often target the $100,000, it's a realistic price, I know it, but I won't wait for. I'll leave before it happens (probably in the $70,000)
I am not sure is it reasonable to think that next ATH will be $100k or something close to that In my opinion,$100k is not only unrealistic but almost impossible to see in the next couple of years.As soon as BTC hits the last ATH which is $20k, the victims of the last -80% dump will instantly sell to cancel their previous loss; which means that BTC will struggle before breaking this level. In short,my prediction is that BTC won't exceed $30k-$40k in the next 5 years unless there is an extremely good news that pops up launching another long lasting bull run. |

Ok and people can withdraw their tokens / tokens converted to ETH/BTC from Tokpie Exchange without KYC? I thought Tokpie has some sort of partnership with you?
Since I transferred 50% of my stakes to tokpie long ago,I received some TGNs in my tokpie balance 2 weeks ago and it seems I can trade/withdraw them freely without passing KYC so that won't be a problem I think. I appreciate your decision but I'm also wondering if you would have done the same if we hadn't created a scam accusation + flag.  Only results matter right?
From what I've undertood,they are going to distribute the tokens in users tokpie account because somehow tokpie is able to allow deposit/withdrawals without KYC if the sum is under 2500$ (probably has to do with the regulatory laws in their juridiction), something that TerraGreen can't do apparently.That's indeed a good solution to satisfy everyone I'll also remove my support of the flag once it's confirmed that you distributed to everyone as you promised. |

Alexander Lipton, a connection science fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and adjunct professor of mathematics at New York University (NYU), has claimed that Libra’s white paper copied concepts for a coin proposed in his academic work.
source:https://cointelegraph.com/news/mit-fellow-and-nyu-math-professor-says-libra-copied-off-co-authored-paperIt's not the first time I hear Facebook accused of plagiarism of concepts/ideas.Although in this case there is little solid evidence I wonder what would happen if it's confirmed that Libra has plagiarised their Whitepaper, taking in consideration all the partnerships and the hype that has been created recently.What do you think? |

I don't have a screen shot, but directed me to electrumbay dot com
That's a phishing website I'm sorry for your loss.If only you had used a hardware wallet for this significant amount you had What kind of scam is this and how the hell did it happen?
Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing - https://electrum.org[...] Don't know how you missed this as this information was already spread out in the entire community for a quite a long time now. Yeah this is literally insane to have a malicious window pop inside the wallet and nothing is done to prevent it.If you are not experienced enough to have the reflex to verify the GDP signature or your anti-virus doesn't detect it you're basically screwed.Hell,at this point I don't trust desktop wallets anymore. |
