I think every currency is used for illegal actvities, even cryptocurrency is being used for that reason.  I think this usage, as been for a long time, so it won't affect badly on the currencies. USD is one of the most powerful fiat, and it is more and more regulated to find these activities. Some of these happen,some might be made by big guys in their countries, so nobody can do anything about it.

The concept of this ICO is great. Instead of owning a big computer to the protein unfolding, uses the power of people's computer and in the process mine a token out of it. It's a two in one concept. Liked the idea, will follow this one and see how it works out.

584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HBO is trying to get $250,000 in bitcoin to pay hackers who stole GoT scripts on: August 29, 2017, 09:26:33 PM
This is what makes people against bitcoin. HBO could say that they would pay a bounty to the ones who stole the scripts without saying bitcoins. Big guys also think that bitcoin is the best currency for the illegal market, and with this the trend will continue. And if it continues like this, people with bitcoin will all be called as doing illegal activities, because it is not so easy to give proof of funds in bitcoin. This a something that every bitcoin user, developer have to think and provide a way to stop these illegal activities.
585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can you do with Bitcoins but can't do with Dollars? on: August 29, 2017, 06:30:35 PM
You can do everything with bitcoin that you do with dollar. The most big difference is  if you hold bitcoin, you will have a rise in the value, and possible a big rise. Holding dollar won't do that, unless you  compare it with other fiat currencies.  A downside of bitcoin, is that you have to be sure not to sell bitcoin to the wrong guys, because then your funds might be considered  fraud in the bank.

587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Earning enough with Bitcoin without Job ? on: August 29, 2017, 09:06:06 AM
It's not easy earn enough to live without a job. As this market is risky, even if you are someone who trades a lot, have lots of knowledge in it, probably someday you'll incur a loss, so you wouldn't make enough then. 
But, there are jobs that pay in bitcoin, or you can be a freelancer that might get you what you want. But without knowledge, or any kind of skill, it's diffcult to earn enough with bitcoin.

589  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase is planning to support BCH by The end of the year! on: August 28, 2017, 11:01:32 AM
I am seeing this as a growth of value in BCH. I am starting to feel that BCH will  start challenging BTC maybe in two years if it continues having this recognition. I think it's good to start gathering some BCH also, as this is looking a interesting growth for BCH
590  Economy / Economics / Re: How many can resist selling off their BTC for huge profits? on: August 28, 2017, 10:47:53 AM
I think more resist, because they just want their bitcoin to grow to a reasonable value, to think about selling it. I guess many don't have a great posession in terms of BTC, so, they might just hold them, and earn more and more. It has it's risk, but if someone asks me if I want to sell a BTC for 4000$ or just hold till it reaches say, 10000$, I prefer the second option, because I believe in the potential of BTC. Others sell on panic, or don't value the growth of BTC at all.
591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Tim Draper is super excited about bitcoin on: August 28, 2017, 10:04:39 AM
Well if I had bought 30000 bitcoins in 2014 like he did, I also would be very excited about bitcoin and it's constant growth. Hopefully the security and pace of blockchain will make the price rise yet more ! 
592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discourage by our country. on: August 28, 2017, 09:46:06 AM
Is it accepted or the problem is most of country people don't know about it? I am at Mozambique, and by their rules and regulations I don't see anything that makes bitcoin illegal. A different story is how many people around here actually knows what's a bitcoin or a blockchain, and these aren't much. if it is the same issue, it is not discouraging, it's lack of information about this topic maybe.

595  Economy / Economics / Re: Will early adoring countries get large economic benefits from BTC? on: August 27, 2017, 02:05:42 PM
I think this is like us people. The first ones to embrace bitcoin are reaping the high valuation that it had. Same with the countries, those who start  understanding about cryptocurrency, blockchain and other things related to this world, will always have more knowledge, and better possibilities to get benefits from it.

The op should have atleast posted from where he got this info ! some reference would be great.  I also think that microsoft is creating it's own coin for them, maybe it can take a while and they will start with this coin to know how thinks in the crypto world work?
597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The SegWit activation was a joke? on: August 27, 2017, 09:29:36 AM
It has almost nothing to do with bitcoin cash. Segwit activation is the first step towards adding new features to bitcoin - it doesn't magically speed up all transactions just by being activated. Next all exchanges, wallets and service need to start using segwit transactions for it to actually ease pressure on fees and block sizes. So far only very few segwit transactions have been made as most transactions are still normal transactions and they do not get faster or cheaper just because segwit is activated.

On the other hand what you're currently seeing with fees going up and transactions being delayed is a concerted spam effort coordinated by people trying to make it look like the bitcoin blockchain is congested and needs a controversial 2x upgrade in November which is being pushed by the NYA miners when most of the userbase and developers are against it and will not agree to their threats. It's artificial and does not represent the real economy situation.

Hope all that's written in this comment is true. Bitcoin Cash and the problems of the high transaction fees came at the same time. Bitcoin have to solve the issues of their transaction fees, or else will let Bitcoin Cash emerge, because the ones that are behind it are making everything to not let it dive like another altcoin. And f these  transaction fees happen to get higher, people will also start to change to Bitcoin Cash, making it grow in value and threaten bitcoin's value.
598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC fees exploding and BTC will crash down on: August 27, 2017, 09:12:51 AM
This is something that might happen. If the value continues rising like this, and if it's for the profit of the miners, we will start seeing transaction fees of $100. One of the advantages BTC had were the low fees, now this looks like a disadvantage against fiat. And if the transaction fees continue growing,  it will become difficult to move coins around.

Well, if you are applying for a loan to the bank, and you decide to pay it with bitcoins, how can one prove their funds ? Anyone who have done this care to share their opinion ?  And if the source of some of the bitcoins are from gambling for example, is there any problem?
