Ach schade, wollte gerade die TenX Card bestellen    gibt es alternativen die noch funktionieren?

Ui, dass glaube ich nicht. Über Meshnets ist kein effizientes Streaming von HD Filmen und Clips nicht möglich. Ein Großteil unseres Internet Traffics sind Video Streams. Außerdem nimmt die Popularität von On-demand Diensten immer mehr zu. Diese wären in einem Meshnet in dem jetzigem Ausmaß nicht so einfach möglich.

Ich mache mir dazu auch schon eine ganze Zeit gedanken, ob und wie so ein Verbot von statten gehen könnte.

Und ja, ich gehe über lang oder kurz auch davon aus,
das sich weder die Geldpolitik (EZB und wie sie alle heißen) noch der Staat (wie der auch immer heißt),
sich die Umleitung der Währung in irgendeiner Art und Form (hier eben Krypto), aus der Hand nehmen läßt.

Denn, diese Institute welche das Fiat System bis dato kontrollieren, werden sich auf teufel komm raus,
niemals die Kontrolle entziehen lassen. Schließlich sind diese ja selbst auf dem Weg das Papiergeld
ab zu schaffen, wegen Terrorismus und Drogenhandel... dumm wer es glaubt !

Wie Sie das durchsetzen, da gibt es eine vielzahl von Lösungen, ich denke Sie werden Gesetze entwickeln,
welche die Provider (diese kontrollieren ja die Internetzugänge), so unter Druck setzen werden, das diese
Filtersysteme entwickeln und implementieren (wie bei den Chinesen heute üblich), welche nach der Art von
Blockchain / Krypto / Wallets / alle namentlichen Coins z.B. Bitcoin, Ethereum... usw. wegfiltern werden,
genauso wie es die Chinesen bei Facebook, Google usw. auch machen. Und wenn ich mein Krypto-Geld nicht
mehr bewegen, erreichen oder transferieren kann, dann bricht das alles rasend schnell zusammen.

Wie Gesagt, es geht immer um Kontrolle der Währung.
Nur wer diese kontrolliert, hat auch kontrolle über den rest der Bevölkerung, Politiker usw...

Das ist meine Meihnung dazu, und die Stimmen eines Verbots (Marroko zuletzt), häufen sich.

You have a new direct message from the Datum team (datumnetwork.slack.com).

In attention to all Ethereum Holders:

Due to the ETH fork happening later this month, we decided to implement two factor authentication on all Ethereum wallets.

Wallets unprotected with 2FA will not support the upcoming fork and funds may be lost.

Please visit Myetherwallet.com to upgrade your wallet to the new security level.

We are taking this measures to protect both you and our network from phishing and malicious attacks.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding,
