Although market cap is a poor metric for dominance, its likely that bitcoin will reign supreme for a very long time but by no means is it assured to stay dominant indefinitely.

Re: Would blockchain technologies continue Its development without cryptocurrency?

As we all know chain block technologies are the foundation of the cryptocurrency and chain block technologies can develop without the cryptocurrency.

Is this possible happen in the future? If so, how?

Blockchains don't technically need a currency, bitcoin is quite simply simply a token representing value but other more convoluted things can be put in blockchains besides simple tokens.

Re: How do we change the public's view of Crypto world?

One way to persuade public opinion or perception of Crypto world could be to make more efforts to differentiate between the blockchain, and Crypto currencies. In order, to mitigate skepticism when a currency dips and focus on the positive effects of block-chain itself.

Re: Do you keep your coins physically secure?

many of us still keep our coins on our own devices

I believe they do it for a reason. Maybe they're trading rather than hodling, then they might find it more comfortable to keep their coins on their devices. Otherwise, it's too risky, I guess.
I for one, keep'em in a cold wallet. That's the only way to have a good night's sleep Wink

Its understandable to keep some amount of coins on an exchange, as long as you treat it as a hotwallet and understand that those coins are at risk and may be lost through no fault of your own.

The coins on your own devices, are kept safe by you and you don't have to trust third parties.

Yes,i do keep my coins physically secure from the hacker by put them in a hardware wallet with a private key and no one know the password of that key.

That's good but please do ensure that you have more than one copy of your private key, one single copy means a single point of failure.

I keep it safe but if at the right time I will sell it. There are safe wallets depending on your needs.

In general, if you're about to sell it you don't need to keep that amount as safe. Thats where the hotwallet/coldwallet dichotomy comes in.

Yes, and I always prefer best wallets in this purpose and I also suggest every one that if they want proper security of their crypro then they must choose hardware wallets because it is little expensive but very much safe.

And make sure if you're going to get a hardware wallet, dont buy it from ebay! These types of things should never be sold used or refurbished.

All my coins are on online wallets, not on exchanges. I don't connect with any public wifi. I have 2 phones with internet and one internet dongle, so that I am never out of internet for any reason like network problem. I keep my private keys and 2fa backed up and encrypted and I think its enough.

Even if you trust your online wallets, do you trust their third party services? Even blockchain.info had their DNS redirected at one point to a malicious party.

I’m physically securing some of my coins in order to prevent of being hacked. Hackers are everywhere, we need to be careful and we should not easily trust.

Keep your cold wallet away from the internet!

Re: Best upcoming projects being build on STELLAR?

I see quite a number of ICO projects being built on the XLM platform. This is a positive signal for XLM as it can help the price of XLM continue going up in the coming time. Also I read the news that Facebook is also building blockschain based on the XLM platform

Yes I've seen that XLM is an excellent platform for ICOs but you don't actually have to do an ICO in order to build on top of XLM!

Absolutely yes. Most of the crypto assets are securely stored on a cold wallet. Only a certain amount that I trade with is online.

The cold wallet/hot wallet dichotomy has been a mainstay for nearly a decade and its still very prudent!

Only a cold wallet. I don't trust the online wallets or exchanges to keep all the coins there.
Stay safe!

Only one cold wallet or two? You should have your private key saved in at least two secure places.

I think have seen the FlipNpik project build on the stellar Blockchain
And you could look towards them

Stellar is a positive and good prospective coin
Savor and enjoy your participation with stellar

Thank you! I'll take a look at what they're doing.

   Thanks one more time. I will take a look too.
   Same I hears about projects on NEO platform. Now I read almost identical
topic just Stellar is in the headline.
   That is great actually. Platforms are taking over and it would be wise from us
to pay attention on both of this young platforms with great projects created on
them.
   I have some Stellar's, but I will pay attention on projects on this platform in
next few days.

You should check out Tides Network too! We're on Stellar

Is it okey to use laptops where your wallet inside on it. Just make sure to have copy of important details in some gadget which never bring outsidr at the house. Online wallet is secure like myetherwallet, everything is on our care and resposibility. What ever happen is to be blame for the owner not the creator

Well actually myetherwallet is not an online wallet, it simply provides an interface through the browser!

Basically, keeping my crypto assets is way more than secure than keeping my fiat money. Writing account information in a paper is not also necessary because it's too risky and will just expose your digital assets to someone else if you lost that piece of paper. Even saving my account's information on e-mail is too risky so i just keep it on an external drive and keep it somewhere only i know.

I hope you've got all that saved on more than on external drive, as they're known to fail and you dont want one single point of failure to throw a wrench in your life!
