Different situations are possible. But the situation you described is slightly more probable, the reason is simple: all the alts are traded against BTC, though priced in it and it takes some time to market to adopt.

Probably, they are going to sell gold from the reserves at a good price and buy crypto instead? ))

Sometimes the market dictates its rules on the pricing, however, when it comes to the wages, we should remember that it should motivate employee and compensate their time spendings, I don't think that after certain limits, let us say x50, it keeps increase motivation, in fact, as an owner or board of directors I'd prefer to find any other motivation, but not x300 salary.

Yes, it can be a universal mean of exchange. Why not, no country benefit from it, however, I think that we need something more straightforward, something stable and predictable - that are the essential features of a universal mean of payment.

Stablecoins are an essential part of the adoption of blockchain itself. I think that some of the processes and internal points can be tokenized. However, the author of the thread mentioned not only stable coins.

Yeah, IOTA does have a potential due to the technology. However, there is one peculiarity: it is run by Bitfinex.

I think that we will see the end of the far-fetched utility tokens. Not all of them are securities, but even less of them have any utility.

Hi Andrew, you do sound solid and experienced.

However, in the venture community people a bit sceptical as for the NDAs to hear the idea unless it is super unique. However, I haveb't seen purely unique ideas. For example, we have several projects with the fitness/cryptoideas: all of them are going to distribute emission among those who are doing excercises (accelerometer as a sensor)

Hmm. Looking at the wealth distribution... Not really. However, the initial distribution is still in place. It is interesting to investigate, how this inequality in wealth distribution changing over time.

They will be forced to accept it like it was with some other technologies, like wireless chargers. Sometimes you have to join mainstream, even if you used to create mainstreams yourself.

DreamTeam is ran by professionals. A lot of people chattering about the delay in listing, however, I think there is a solid reason behind it. SEC would consider you as a speculation token if you care too much about listing but not about the real platform development.

I think that the only "Mining experience" is possible when we speak about mobile mining, e.g. Electroneum. It is possible only like a part of a reward system or like a part of the mechanism for emission distribution, while the actual computing on smartphones is not a good idea.

We had an interesting idea of rewarding people for traveling, however, there are a lot of issues connected with ease of GPS coordinates falsification.

One way or another we will end up in the situation when we should pay taxes from crypto profits, taxation will come along with the adoption.

Not really deflation but 0.2*deflation + 0.8*speculation 

Why not combine this two technologies rather than oppose them to each other 

Our stats show that accepting other currencies increase amount of money raised up to +20%

Yes, except for countries that don't have internet + China because they have their own internet.

Japanese people would understand English while the Chinese not. This fact together with the Chinese economic growth rates makes it a more utilitarian choice

I'd like to recommend you Spanish as well, in fact, it is almost as popular as English if we refer to Native speakers (not to those who learned it)

GUARANTEED PROFIT ... SEC-compliant ... in the one post. Are you serious?

What I see from the research perspective, Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies are more popular in developing countries. It is because people are more inclined to participate in the bubbles due to low financial literacy (nothing bad about bitcoin but the majority of people came in the highly speculative market conditions) or because they simply don't have access to the stock market. Despite lower interest from the developed economies, more money flows into the digital assets from this countries simply because of they are wealthy, e.g. it is estimated that US bring 40% of ICO investments (as of Q2 2018)
