Came back just because I remembered I posted this last year.

I remember many of you were part of this scam exchange promotion. And many of you that claim to be ethical and always do due diligence you were promoting this scam.
I just hope that my warning as well as everyone else that made a post about this scam have at least helped a few people not to lose their money.
Peace out.

You have to be ready for all scenarios possible especially when there are a lot of shill accounts ready to blast anyone thinking outside their little box.

Would be interesting to see if you will get the same amount of hatred as I got when I expressed the same position on store-of-value. Seems that quite a few members of bitcointalk feel it is ok to curse and criticize any new member that express a reasonable and detailed point of view which is different from what they are told the last 2 years.

Please read my other comments also on this post. We are not far. Why would you think I'm in bitcointalk? I see that this community doesn't take Libra seriously, that's the reason I'm posting this.

It can become a store of value but right now it is just a speculative investment. Thank you for the cointelegraph link, I haven't read that one.

Shill for what Libra? Yes dude I bought Libra and shilling the coin. I will sell when double.... Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. I am not qualified enough to discuss technical issues although I understand them. Also all your guesses are wrong. Plus I didn't get scammed by any exchange. This was obviously a try to attack the person by looking into his history.
The argument is what it is. If you don't have any concerns about Bitcoin you can always go allin and bash anyone that has a different opinion.

If I believe in a digital currency that is Bitcoin only. This means I don't have to speak my concerns with the community especially when there is a clear threat for all cryptocurrencies?
This is a list of facebook acquisitions, most were seen as possible disruptors for the market. So perhaps you will actually realize the threat too and stop your winning bullshit about reddit.

You are making sense. Most of the comments do also. I'm trying not to be adamantant on most of my positions thats why I asked and I read each and every answer carefully. This is my current position but perhaps I will be more flexible if this is discussed in a convincing manner. I have to thank the bitcointalk community for their insight as usual. There are a lot of really intelligent people on this forum.

My job for around 5 years was to observe rejected transactions through a lot of banking systems, POS and E-commerce made with Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and a few more ways of payments. You can't imagine how many problems exist, especially for overseas transactions (US to EU mostly and the opposite). There is not just one centralized system that has to process a transaction, but usually three or four. On any of these systems there are variables that might cause a transaction to fail. Most of these variables are unknown to the card holder and to the merchant. Quite a few doesn't even have to do with them but with the card options. So in order for a transaction to proceed you have to put trust to your Bank, your card (Visa/Master), the outside companies that processed the details in their database, the merchants bank and it goes on. All these are based in centralized servers. One server goes down (and they go down very often) and you get rejections. One data would be entered wrong and you might not be able to buy tickets at the airdrop you were making vacations. These are real problems that are not rare.
So the first thing the world needed and Bitcoin provided was this. Cancel the middle man. Noone needs to trust a bank or outside processing companies. You just trust yourself, the tech and cut the middle man.
What was actually needed was this model. It was close to flawless and at least a few thousand of people realized it immediately.
Paypal was a revolution as well. Still it has many problems, like limits and refunds, that are probably unsolvable.

My point is that Facebook with Libra, is actually stealing the hard work that was invested for Bitcoin to become the absolute means of transactions. What was needed so the whole world would adopt it was low fees (as it used to have for a while) and instant transactions. I say it looks stagnant because the Lightning Network doesn't seem to be a priority. Also there are many doubts if LN can work the way it is supposed to. I believe there should be more effort made in this subject.

The BCH post used to be fun. Now it's full of BSV nonsense, making Bcash look like a victim.

In the near future you will see libra on top-10 of every cryptocurrency index as it will be valued in Billions even as a stablecoin.
All indexes already have Libra's spot ready and waiting for the release.

"Reaching the unbanked"
From the coindesk article it is clear that Libra will be a fierce competitor of Bitcoin:
https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-launches-subsidiary-to-support-new-libra-crypto
So our moto "Banking the unbanked" is now Libra's main verse and noone seems to actually care.

Our main devs decided Bitcoin should become digital "Store of Value", short of gold but in digits, instead of "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" as stated on the title of the Whitepaper.
Facebook probably discovered that Bitcoin has difficulties in scaling so they made in no-time an answer to what the world exactly needs.

What do you think the world needs?
Digital gold or a fast and secure digital currency?

From my point of view the Bitcoin community seem to be stagnant, without any real targets set. What are the targets you want Bitcoin to have?

This is the Bitcoin forum, created by Satoshi to promote solutions in Bitcoin's Code and explain how it would become a dominant digital currency.
No mod promotes libra or tether here. Moreover, most of older members see altcoins as useless except perhaps trading them on a few breakouts.

If this was somehow true, then it's bad news for Bitcoin's price.

No, I didn't mean anything against the op. His post was a personal experience and I read all of it. I had forgotten about Monacoin and Livecoin incident. Otherwise I would have added that too in my post.
I didn't mean it this way. I'm sure the op was aware of the livecoin campaign as well and was mad with them. I'm sure he didn't even notice my post which was just a small argument on their practices and the coins they keep trading.

Funny that I posted this on same day, only a couple of hours before your post.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159642.msg51638846#msg51638846

Livecoin instantly blamed Monacoin on their ANN thread for what happened. Seriously they don't have communication with their clients and they have to ask in a forum? Obviously they have but wanted to shift the blame on the developer side.

On another subject, there were quite a few Bitcointalk older members that were promoting this exchange with their signature. Some of them are always accusing people of not doing due diligence before they promote a scam project. I've seen them giving negative trust to people that promote them. Yet quite a few of them promoted Livecoin.

DID YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE? Did you not know what livecoin is? So hypocritical.

There was a vote by users of decentraland last November that stopped the inflation.

I guess the max supply can only decrease now with a burn of mana used in a new auction.

Mana didn't quite pump as I expected during this bull run. Since I haven't found something better or similar in the decentralized world, I keep having high hopes on this. Although I'd prefer more advertisement and perhaps support from Binance on the platform. Not on price, but I beleive they should become active in decentraland as Bittrex already is.

I'll keep holding one of the best performers of 2018 and hope the crypto world realizes the true potential of this project, besides from trading it.

Probably the haven of scamcoins and ponzi schemes. The only exchange that kept offering bitconnect trading for months after the ponzi collapsed.
Holds a vast amount of shit/scam coins, only traded on their exchange. (OTN, DIG, GOAL and around 200 more useless scamcoins).

I sense an exit-scam soon after they trap a few newbies with their latest promotion. They will probably say they got hacked and they lost all funds. Same recipe as cryptopia probably, another home of scamcoins.
