Things on KYC boils down to how trustworthy and credible are the people receiving our data. Considering that we are dealing with new projects and with people whom we don't know in the real world, I am not wondering why many are sounding the bell of alarm. Had I been saying this before that there should be a platform to deal with KYC should be acceptable by all parties...so that we can easily pinpoint who is responsible for keeping the data and we can sue in case of security breach. In reality, when projects and sites imposed KYC it is hard to complain we have no choice but to follow otherwise we can be excluded.

Apple has finally acknowledged Bitcoin by adding a symbol to its new icon set. It appears the mass adoption movement is gaining momentum at last.

If Apple were an animal in the Bitcoin kingdom it would be a tree-dwelling sloth. Moving at an incomprehensively slow pace to join in the cryptocurrency revolution and opting instead to disrupt the credit card industry with the underwhelming Apple Card.

SO, DOES THIS MEAN APPLE IS ALL-IN ON BITCOIN? Not exactly. Not yet anyway. While its recent patent filing to the SEC eluded briefly to blockchain technology, it was far from a battle cry.

Well, if this can only be true then I would not have any problem at all if 1 bitcoin can be worth half a million dollars. However, the comparison and the conclusion may not be that right especially considering that the government has the propensity to print more paper fiat. The supply of the fiat money (dollar in this case) is not a fixed thing as they keep on printing and printing especially when there can be a big crisis on the horizon. And though we usually have the dollar equivalent of bitcoin, it is not tied into it in any way.

Sad and disappointed to see another cryptocurrency exchange bite the dust and just fly away as another scam. This is just another reason why we really need a strong regulation to combat people like those behind BiteBTC. This could not go on like this because we have people who are very much affected every time an exchange will just decide to stop its operation. I am sure that victims of BiteBTC are now crying for justice but there is nothing they can do but just wait in case something good will crop up and the money they lost can be returned -- something that is almost zero chance based on previous scam stories.

I love the name Hiway but i thought it has something to do with transportation but I am wrong. Based on the website of the project, the team is looking good and the organization behind has been in the business for years so even with these factors alone the project may have good chance of making it into the real and competitive marketplace. I am just wondering one thing: I saw almost similar projects in the past and they are not doing that well today...what assurances that this project will be performing differently?

Had you been able to participate on its IEO you could have experience a big windfall of profits. Right now, trading it can already be risky though it has a good potential still to go for an upward movement as this is considered as a good project under the umbrella of the Binance Launchpad. Congratulations for your gains from Harmony.

Bitcoin is now having a pullback and is standing around $7,700+ as I am writing this response. There are some people who are thinking that this correction may not last for days and soon bitcoin can be accelerating back to the $9,000 level although another correction might occur again...before maybe finally going beyond the $9,000 zone. Hopefully, it is still possible for bitcoin to go higher than $10,000 this month though as what you are implying predictions are jut predictions they are not guarantee of what will be and anybody even experts can easily be wrong.

An Amsterdam-based cryptocurrency exchange is facing an uncertain future. Blockport has declared bankruptcy after its security token offering (STO) failed to meet its minimum expectations last month.

Blockport’s STO failed to reach its soft cap of €1 million ($1.13 million) in May. Shortly after, the company filed for and was declared bankrupt, according to recently found bankruptcy records.

In the 24 hours after making the announcement, Blockport’s native token, BPT, dropped in value by over 88 percent. Back in January 2018, Blockport raised over $15 million in its ICO.

I supported this project last year and at that time I saw a great potential of the platform supposed to be one of the best players in the industry and I though that the project has a good team behind it. Well, things are not doing well for the project as it is now considered as bankrupt and could not go on operating as it should be.

Now, I am wondering what happened to the $15 million it got in its ICO run and why for the mere failure to source $1.1 million it is now giving up. Something must be wrong here. I pity all of its supporters who threw their money for Blockport which can soon be gone with the wind. 

I visited your site and even liked your Facebook page. Now, just want to clarify something. People are telling me that cloud mining programs are just scams so why call yourself a cloud mining too when DeluxeMine is boosting of  "certified datacenters with GBps connection and full hardware availability"? Please enlighten my mind.

This move by Walmart is an affirmation of the game-changing capacity of the blockchain to influence and transform an industry. This news must be referring to it joining MediLedger which aims to “open and decentralized network for the pharmaceutical supply chain,” designed to address the tightening regulations that govern the supply chains of drugs and medications. That said, according to the MediLedger website, network nodes are run and operated by industry participants, so it doesn’t sound entirely open and decentralized."

Whether this can just be another hype or promotional gimmick by Walmart and is not really up to anything, we can see the answer to that question maybe after Walmart can see results with the use of the MediLedger platform. Right now, it is too early to conclude anything. Let's wait and see what will happen. In case the experience of Walmart can be positive and encouraging, am sure other firms will be thinking of joining the blockchain bandwagon too.

This is disgusting. A cryptocurrency exchange is holding a bigger share of the trust and confidence of its members and if it will just go away without a trace then this is a symptom of something wrong with the industry. There must be a solid way that the people behind this self-made heist can be brought to justice. I am not anymore wondering why there are really people who are associating our cryptocurrency industry with scams...because there are really people who are doing it. This is actually the first time I hear about this Coinroom exchange and this is the big reason why we should be careful whom to trust with our coins and tokens. Plus a big lesson to never use any exchange like a wallet. Again, we should emphasize that authorities should do everything they can to get these people behind bars and have them face the music.

Good news for Bits of Gold and of course this can have positive ripple effects in the cryptocurrency community of Israel (which is booming and has a good future ahead). Bits of Gold offers buying and selling services of Bitcoin and Ethereum in exchange for ILS, USD and EUR via bank transfers, cash and credit cards, that is having a good bank account to connect it to the traditional financial system can be so critical. I am sure this ruling can be a watershed in the crypto history in the country.

Seriously, the Time Traveler is all a big joke and of course just to entertain all of us for free. Now, I guess, we can expect that soon an alien can be bringing up its own prediction too of where bitcoin will be months or even years from now. Though I have no problem with many varied and many times wild predictions as they add more color and excitement to the industry, sometimes it can really get irritating and sometimes boring. Ok, I am predicting that bitcoin will be $50,550.95 before we enter 2020.

All I can is that practice makes perfect and that can take time, focus and patience so I guess just hold on and never give up on your favorite game. You can also network with other players and see if they have some ideas and tips you can use. Plus Google is a field of so much information you can tap on and it is just waiting for you to do the search!  Enjoy your gaming days.

This can be both good news and bad news. Good news because here we have an investing group getting into bitcoin (or adding more bitcoin) and this is akin to institutional money entering bitcoin which can mean a vote of trust and confidence for bitcoin as an investment tool. They are buying bitcoin because they are seeing its great potential to make for them...profits later on. Now, when the going gets tough, they can easily dump whatever holding they have and that is when it can be a big bad news. Now, having said that, this is what an open market system is, anybody can buy anything and anybody can dispose anytime.  And we all enjoy that same freedom.

Justin Sun can eat me the whole week and I am charging nothing. But I guess the guy is only interested with an old man who is anti-Bitcoin so we are definitely out of his available options. Just donate your $2.35 to me and my charitable works.

Just what I expected. This correction may not last for many days and soon we can be back speculating if bitcoin can see the $9000 level again. This is just another repeat of its own history...and it makes bitcoin a very exciting and pulsating investment vehicle. Volatility can be a ride liken to a roller-coaster. Let's have fun, baby!

That can be the best and the simplest way to explain Swarm Intelligence. There is a wisdom in a group, as they say. Anyway, let's see the results of this Bitcoin prediction mechanism if it can really produce profits if followed in the actual market. Whatever opinions and ideas valid or not...those may matter or not but we are after the results. So show me the results for this, guys!

This is the move many blamed for the current correction or dip and many are crying manipulation. For me, manipulation or not, I think that is just a normal transaction and if that caused the dip then let it be. It is the right of the owner of that bitcoin to move his hoard in any way he wanted to we are out of the picture and blaming that move or even him is useless. As pointed by another member, there are transactions far bigger than that. Maybe the market is just looking for a scapegoat for the correction which was already due at that time. Anyway, let's give bitcoin a break...let's enjoy the dip...buy more bitcoin or convert any altcoins we can convert to bitcoin...this is another window opening for all of us. Always thinking of the positive side is the key.

Yes, this can be the problem. Usually we don't and will not trust third-party entities to handle these sensitive data and they can just be abused like being used in tracking someone that may not agree with the agreement or can even be use as a bait for someone to do something against his own will...in other words the information gained can use to control people. It does not matter if the present people managing the system can be good or not because later then they can be replace and the risks can be too much. It is enough that we have a good system that can check people who are doing illegal things. Ideas like this should be thoroughly vetted before being implemented.
