Yes that's very true! It will be interesting to see how they deal with that. It's funny that now the technology is being used to go backwards, from digital to paper (even though it's digital paper). Great concept though!

Congratulations! Anywhere is a good place to start, it's definitely a good idea to learn as much as possible.. and you are definitely not wasting your time )

If I saw your post at the time it was posted, I would have said that the markets would go back up.. It's actually a few weeks later and it looks like it did! Can't wait to see what it looks like next year

Ethereum is mostly used for trading, holding, and for ICO participation.

Because the ship is sinking! Everybody out! ... Hehe i'm joking. Markets fluctuate on a daily (more like secondly) basis, sometimes they will be green, sometimes they will be red. It's a good idea to zoom out and look at the markets performance from a wider time frame.

Although.. it's possible it could be something to do with the MEW incident, but more likely just the market being the market.

I woudn't reccomend anybody to enter their account details on another platform.


Agreed.

Very interesting! I think at this point that Bitcoin is no longer meant for such transactions. Maybe litecoin would be better suited for this. I believe Bitcoin is more useful as a store of value like gold. You wouldn't neccesarily pay for something in a shop with gold, but you could use it to store value, or transfer the value into something else.

Love the story though, thanks for sharing!

Старая история с манипуляциями, тем более никакого регулирования. Подумайте что можно сделать со стороны биржи, если цена BTC +- 200$ сходит локально.

Велика вероятность, что кто-то может сделать 51% атаку, да и при оптимистичном сценарии сложность будет аховая.
Странно, что Bitmain начал за такое браться.

Как крипту можно оформить кладом?

Bitcoin will always rule all the altcoins because altcoins' exchange rate will always be related to bitcoin exchange rate.

Since most of the altcoins don't have really strong support on exchanges – by that I mean they cannot be traded directly to other altcoins – it is difficult to say that one altcoins will be powerful enough to displace the King of Crypto – Bitcoin.

I hope though, that bitcoin dominance will still decrease since more money will be distributed among new blockchain projects with their own cryptocurrencies listed on exchanges.

Nice! There are a lot of countries where you can purchase a house with Bitcoin, and so many products and services out there available to buy with Bitcoin, everything from pizza to a flight! I think that in the future there will be very few things that one couldn't purchase with crypto.

It seems like MEW is safe now. I think people using hardware wallets were not affected by this either, only MEW generated private keys during a certain period of time. Always worth taking precautions though!

У меня затребовал банк нотариальный договор с CEX  для перевода для свифту

There was another recent post that warned about this. From what it looks like, this issue has been addressed and MEW is back to normal.. Always worth taking extra precautions though! (also it seems like this was an issue affecting only MEW generated private keys that were generated during a certain period of time).

Wow. I'm glad that has been addressed! Thank you for forwarding this to the community!

There are a lot of companies offering prepaid crypto debit cards where you can deposit your crypto on to the card and use it anywhere that accepts visa. There are a lot of promising projects that are planning to release seamless crypto / fiat intergration where you will be able to spend directly from your own crypto wallet. I'm sure a lot more of these services will be available in the future.

I think this is extremely unlikely in the long term. There are far too many incredible and innovative use-cases for crypto / blockchain technology, the advatages it holds for many industries can not be ignored outside the community for much longer.

Good job on the UI! App is similar to blockfolio, but if you make an IOS version, I'll try your one

That's great! It does seem like the whole world is experiencing growing pains related to blockchain and crypto innovations as they distrupt existing institutions who arent quite sure what to make of it, so it's always nice to see government institutions take a step towards full intergration.


It is unfortunate that scams and other misuse of the technology is slowing the rate of adoption, but I think it's important to remember that blockchain technology is far superior to it's centralised opposition, meaning that in the long run the blockchain and crypto movement hold a very strong position in the debate of institutional adoption.


I agree! Except maybe change the "may" for "is and will continue to"
