Theymos, we appeal to you. We just need a local Board. Do not ignore us. This is not fair. I know that you are very busy with the new forum & etc. But pay attention to the Ukrainian. We are not an empty place, but part of this forum. How many years will you ignore our existence? Please help us !!!

Many thanks to everyone who answers & will answer this topic.
 I have read all the opinions. Guess I was wrong when I talked about the division into two teams. Here I see a very tolerant attitude. I'm really grateful to everyone for their personal opinions.

I've been waiting for another exchange - NEX for hours and hours. Switcheo Exchange has a similar approach.
This will be very successful and productive if it manages to consolidate its positions.
This once again proves that you do not need to keep everyone waiting for a long time (about a year). To be the first is always an advantage.

Everybody knows that Russia started this war. However, not many people can talk about this. I had the hope presidential election changed the situation for the better this year. Unfortunately, this did not happen. There's a sea of blood in Syria and Ukraine. I hope people from Russia are smart enough to make the right conclusions & keep an eye on.

Yes, it's like competition. Any altcoin will never reach the heights of popularity and importance of bitcoin. But it can make its own important contribution to development. Monopoly is always bad, lack of choice always limits opportunities, in my opinion.

Many of the projects were start-ups. No one took them seriously and thought it was garbage - like Dropbox, Square, Zinga. And they survived.

To be realistic, the price of bitcoin and altcoins is just our faith and expectations.

Have you ever started your business? For example, handmade souvenirs. Many people say that it is garbage and no one will buy it. But there are people who buy and they like what you do. Your small business grows and generates revenue. Yes, you will not be a business shark. But who cares?

I don't want to convince anyone. I don't try to advertise any projects. However, I wonder why you don't give even a single chance to anything except bitcoin.
The more money is been invested in a whole cryptocurrency industry, the more hype it attracts and moves forward the success of bitcoin. And we really need this to replace current money systems, someday.

There is a very small chance of that. But it does exist.

There is no doubt that everything that the government cannot control is a threat to them.
Uncontrolled Finance is a threat to the economy and to the indicators of gross domestic product.
The profit gained from cryptocurrencies is a concealment from taxes, which entails holes in the country's budget. Of course, any government will do everything possible to get rid of what they consider a threat.
But this is already a running mechanism. And of course no one wants to say openly - I am rich, but do not pay taxes. It's a prison and confiscation of property.

Good afternoon. I would like to hear your opinion. I've been reading the forum sufficiently long, but I rarely write. I had one question. Why is the forum divided into 2 teams that angry with one another? The first support bitcoin and hate all altcoins. All of this for them is only garbage. Others like altcoins and do not understand what the problem have first.
I have a question for the first camp. Why?
 Take for example Zilliqa, Tomocoin, NEO, DragonChain, etc. People who bought them in large quantities became richer. Why do you think this is garbage?
 Bitcoin is a legend, but some altcoins are worth paying attention to, aren't they?

Oh, I'm in the same doubt. Now I really want to sell my alts and buy for all money bitcoin. Since I believe that the uptrend will begin in a month. And now I have very little bitcoin unfortunately.

I do not want to offend you, but these coins do not deserve attention. For projects that are poorly developed or not popular on stock exchanges, the holding does not work. Wait for the pump and buy bitcoin instead of these coins.

I think that out of all countries that are loyal to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Venezuela can be singled out. This is one of the craziest examples. Put the entire economy of the country onto a revolving wheel. Everyone knows about the capabilities of hackers. What will happen to the country if Petro will be attacked?

From this amount, I just fell out of my chair. 8,000 bitcoin? You can withdraw in a small part on the debit cards of relatives, wife, relatives of your wife. And so every month. I do not think it would be safe to withdraw huge amounts for one transaction.

I do not think so. This is especially unlikely in 2018. Bitcoin is the basis. Many consider their incomes in bitcoin. Different alts are also count in bitcoin, not Ethereum or the dollar / euro.

Do it now or may regrate in few days/weeks. But you can also try to wait till bitcoin/ethereum prise rise and alts will wait till it become stable and use this moment to buy even with more profit than now.
