Knowing Apple, they'd rather create their own Cryptocurrency that can be used only in their services. I wonder why they didn't yet.

I don't think Bitcoin is savior, for me it is more of a tool - if used properly, it may help you immensely. On the other side, if misused you may easily go bankrupt. Bitcoin, as every Crypto, is not a no-brain magic wand that will make you rich in an instant, you really have to put your time and effort to make real use of it.

With the amount of scam ISOs in the past no doubt people hesitate to invest in new ones, especially in ICO developed by only one person. I'm really sorry for you as it's clear you are passionate about your project,   but this is the situation on the market. Take another try, analyze why other ICO are successful, gather a team and work hard. The market is extremely competitive, the project has to be exceptional in order to survive.

If one had a closer look on current ICO projects, it's hard not to notice that many of those projects can work without tokens. In some cases they're added just to be in the trend, no wonder we see lots of comments like 'does your project really need its own token?' This point, as well as governments looking into Blockchain solutions for governmental institutions, speaks for the idea that Blockchain will continue to develop even without Cryptocurrency. We can see this implication already, Cryptocurrency is only the most known part of Blockchain, not the whole technology.

Single global currency can exist only in the global state situation, other than that the countries are too different to drop their currency in favor of the new common one. Euro is only the singular case, and still not all countries in the EU accepted it.
This is regarding official global currency. Meanwhile, there is room for 'unofficial' one - currency that is accepted everywhere without any issues, but not officially confirmed as global currency. In this case, Crypto - not necessarily Bitcoin - is the ideal option.

Russia takes quite weird position thinking that the whole world is against it. It is, however, the other way around: Russia itself is against the world seeing every opposing country as an enemy.
Russian government feels vulnerable, that's the reason for such aggressive and bizarre statements. I only hope that these statements will remain just words used in political discussion and will never come true. Fallout vibes are great only in a computer game.
The saddest part is that many people fall to propaganda of mutual hatred. If you remember the World Cup in Russia last summer, the situation is quite the opposite. There seems to be no hatred among common people, although hatred is created and stimulated by government's agenda.

Brilliant reference to the The Good, the Bad, the Ugly.
I also like westerns, but if we really think about it there's not that much in common. Only the general spirit is present: this is the land of digital opportunity with no laws over it.
Wild West was a period in history that eventually finished and gave start to the next one - drawing analogy I wonder that is the next Era after the Crypto.

People always tend to compare things to each other, even if these things have very little basis for comparison. In this case, you have two most popular Cryptocurrencies - they're just bound to be compared, even though they're based on different concepts.

All in all, humans and everything created by them are the threat to Earth. But - is it really threat to Earth? it may be rendered not-suitable for living, as it was during some period of time after meteor falling almost wiped the whole life on the planet, but look how it is now - almost no traces of past catastrophe.
It`s more correct to say 'threats to humanity', as nothing will happen to Earth.

Not all ICOs are the same. It's not quite right to generalize in this case: it is scam ICO that ruin ICO's reputation, not just any ICO.
On the other hand, the market is extremely bloated with hundreds of ICO coins being listed on different exchanges. It may be confusing for investors and traders, but I can`t say it`s only negative: current environment is the natural selection of coins, where only the strongest can withstand.

Quoting the article:

While the ban is certainly bad for Crypto - even reduction of BTC by 10-20% is huge as it`ll drop other coins as well, it is still good to know that they don`t abandon Blockchain tech altogether.

Cryptocurrency issued by any government is no longer Crypto - it is just currency that uses blockchain technology. I put it this way because the government will not issue anything without its own interest, thus if they issue Cryptocurrency it is bound to lose its essential properties - decentralization and anonymity.

The only thing is that it will not be beneficial for the government, as blockchain is transparent and almost impossible to control, that`s supposed to bring end to frauds and corruption. I wouldn`t count on government Crypto in this case.

Even if this is an estimation, the number is still more than impressive. I wonder what does it speak for: excessive list of death penalty articles, or that death penalty doesn`t work as an effective preventive measure to prevent further crimes and people are still willing to risk their lives to pursue their illegal goals.

That`s so true. Vote rigging and propaganda eliminate the very essence of the elections.
Btw, may be it is paranoid, but I don`t believe Putin himself makes his own decisions. There should be some secret board that makes decisions, he`s just declaring them.

Theoretically yes, it shouldn`t make a big deal - but it still makes a great opportunity for negative campaigning. Everybody may have affairs, but politicians are under constant pressure of media attention.
They should be extra careful, everything could be bloat out of proportion and used against them. 

We still have no idea how the brain will react to receiving loads of information in a way that is so different from conventional learning, or any of its derivatives.
May be there will be no way to regulate what we receive via the Neurolink apart from software measures, as the brain itself won`t have capability to regulate incoming info?
Btw, we already have the ability to gain knowledge about anything. It is dependent on the amount of time we wish to spend, but it is still present.

Same cringe here. Judging by social media articles, now it somehow seems that you`re supposed to be ashamed of being infamous 'privileged white male'. Somehow you are to blame for not belonging to any minorities - which sounds extremely absurd. It is all the same old story - take an initially good idea: i.e. fighting racism, body positivity - and bloat it totally out of proportion.

It is rather common situation as bounty hunters sell their coins to get immediate profit, they`re not interested in the project development itself. 
The other reason may be that as the hype goes down people lose interest in the project and want to get rid of the tokens right now.

Religion may be not important to an individual (for me, for example), but one can`t but admit its influence on human culture and society all over the world.
It gives people purpose, something to rely on, something to believe in - it is called 'Opium for the peoople' for a reason, after all.

The market is indeed oversaturated with tons of different coins that may be very confusing for new traders and investors. Nevertheless, try to look at it from the other point of view: everybody can develop their own coin and present it to the public. After that, it is up to the public to decide if this coin is worth it or not - the market will sort it all out. The most potent and reliable coins will survive, the other ones will fade - consider it natural selection of the coins.
