Is cryptocurrency dead? As long as cryptocurrencies exist, there will always be platforms to exchange/trade crypto. If you’re referring to start-ups exchanges, they may be facing serious challenges which maybe threatening to their existence. One of the problems the cryptospace is facing is copy and paste and repetition of projects with different names, innovation and creativity is fading out in the space.

Let us compare the older cryptocurrency exchange platforms like (Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitmex, Kraken, Gemini, Poloniex, Bittrex, Gate.io, and Huobi) to the new ones like (Bitforex, Indodax, Coinbe , Hotbit , DigiFinex). Why are the new crypto exchange platforms struggling to hit the lime light?. Binance is about a year old and has made much impact in the cryptospace, why can’t other cryptocurrency exchange start-ups follow suit?

1. Lack of funds
2. The market has already been saturated
3. No original ideas

The big exchange platforms are gaining more grounds everywhere, this making the space more competitive. Nevertheless, some start-ups are really making much sense and are impacting immensely to the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. For any startup to pave through the crowd, it's idea and technology must be very solid.

One of the start-ups to look out for is BLOCKCHAIN BOARD OF DERIVATIVES, the platform combines both centralized and decentralized features of Blockchain to stay aloof the crowd in the space. This is a all-in-one trading platform, that is going to be welcomed when it is launched.


At BBOD users control the destiny of their own funds. BBOD runs a non-custodial smart contract wallet system where all account balances are held by a decentralised smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Centralised entities are too often hacked, BBOD adopts hybrid approach to decentralised safety combined with a centralised trading engine ensures the security of your funds whilst maintaining blazing fast transactions speeds, thereby giving the platform an edge over other exchange start-ups.

This is not the only Crypto exchange that is making impact, there are several others who make making the revolution worthwhile, so Crypto exchanges are far from dead.

I think that we should have a global virtual marketplace for cryptocurrencies without any intermediaries. This would lower the costs of transactions and decentralize the market. What do you think? Is that possible? What are the benefits?

I believe the dump in the price of cryptocurrencies will not exceed this year. No matter how dip the fall is, we will definitely have a surge in price and soar high  in near future.
This is an opportunity for bounty participants, even for those who are coming in newly to work now, like they are just starting allover, because after this dip will come a pump and it is most likely going to come when you least expected.
Keep up the spirit as it were during the early years of bounty. You will definitely be glad you are still in the system.

First would be literally bitcoin since we are trusting it since day one that is why it has reached $20000 because of our speculation on it. Second would be Ethereum of course since it is consider as the queen of the cryptocurrency becausw of its marketcap. My third chosen coin would be essentia, it has done a great project these past few months and really has a potential to play great role in the market.

Its quite unusual to see gamblers who feel excitement even they lose all of their money . Maybe there are some gamblers who do this kind of action to prevent being depressed I think. Sometimes when I gamble, I'm doing the same thing. Being happy despite of losing all of my money. This prevents me from being stressed and one more, if I have some profit already I already buy some foods so that even I lose all of my money at least my stomachs isn't lost 

Buy fast, sell fast, it is a short-term strategy characteristic of non-investor traders. Because the trader has the principle of a little profit is enough, then buy again then sell again even though a little profit. The constraints must be large capital and the implementation time must be fast, because the price is not stable. This type of transaction is more dynamic than investment, HODL long waits until prices rise.

Sometimes, when we talk about professional gamblers, I actually have only seen most people who just managed to get lucky at the end of it all, and in that case, when you have to compare that to a lot of people who were never lucky, you will get more of the latter than the former.

People tend to make the mistake of trying to want to win something big from gambling because they have heard some people winning huge amount of money, but one thing I want to clarify is that, when 1 person is winning, 99 others are really losing badly which is why the chances of winning will always be something difficult to come by.

A successful trader is a combination of smart, brave and good luck. These three factors must be balanced with knowledge, so they must explore and understand the characteristics of bitcoin and the positive and negative sentiments that affect prices. Dare, meaning making a decision to buy or sell based on his own calculations without following the opinions of others. The third is luck, it is God's will.

right I agree with you. banks are still needed even though the cryptocurreny has taken over the world. because the function of banks in people's lives is very important. our bank to save money and also where to get a loan. the bank collects funds from the community and is managed again to be channeled to the community again. if there is no bank we will have difficulty finding capital loans. and I think banks and cryptocurrency can work together to support each other.

I think that losing cryptocurrency in gambling means not only losing money but also losing a source of income. Cryptocurrency is a business and you can make good profit if the price rises, therefore I think that one should gamble only in his local money. I also lost many times but I don’t remember how much I lost because I never assumed gambling as making or losing money. I always gamble for fun and enjoyment.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will collapse by 90% within the next 12 months, analysts predict, but those coins that survive this correction are expected to grow tremendously.

On 7 May, US financial regulators, the US Commission on Futures Trading (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will hold a meeting at which they will discuss, whether Ethereum tokens should be classified as securities.

I am just a time spender and not addictor of gambling, therefore I just gamble once in a month, because I think that continue gambling will take all my money and will ends up my income source. I just give an hour to online gambling and that is not for making money. Gambling is not a business from which I will earn lot of money rather I just pass my time.

I disagree with this view. I don't think there is a bottom line for cryptocurrencies. Many people say that mining prices are the bottom line, but I don't believe it, because when bitcoin falls quickly, miners will choose to stop mining instead of buying bitcoins!

To save money on a long term period, you can choose to invest in the large cap coins on the market, thus the first 10 coins on the market. Any of the top 10 coins is more than capable of rising up on the market due to the large investor-support they've got. Those coins take on the rises gradually, hence are very good coins for long term keeping of money and making profits as well.

As you write, many people missed December 2017, but they also missed the years before the bitcoin was $ 250 and then for $ 1100 per month. That was about 2014 or the end of 2013. From my point of view nothing terrible happened, history is repeated. Of course people who bought for $ 19,000, i can only recommend not to sell and take it as a long-term investment. And what can we do to increase the bitcoin price ? Do not just sell at the current price. New incentives will come, and new investors, there will be countries where the bitcoin will be traded and it will start the btc price again.

We should understand that this market move in cycle and you have to understand this in other not to take wrong decision during investing.  Now is the time to buy and those that have buying mindset will make money in years to come.  Bitcoin may likely still going down but you should see it as the time to buy.

We cannot really pleased everyone even the government themselves for creating this kind of acts of prohibiting cryptocurrency especially bitcoin in their country. Possible reasons of it is the threat of cryptocurrency especially blockchain to an specific industry. We may not know. Or even the riskiness of such, that we all know, cryptocurrency is the most risky industry among all. In regards to your concern, make it more safe. Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies is illegal there. So you do not have to make yourself strong and brave enough. Just be wise and think that it is illegal.

In my own opinion, if you already lost your money then just continue to trade because you will still have the chance to gain it back in this way since the volatility of the market is necessary for every traders to earn profit.

as it is today, I am also willing to take risks when altcoin prices go down. I prefer to hold in the long run, because it can make a big profit. but not a few who take advantage of this moment for trading every day.

You're not assured of getting an instant profit always. If you're a newbie you have to be extremely careful with this strategy. FUDs  or bad news can easily cause a dip and you may not be patient enough to wait for the next rise. It's better to be a patient trader.
