What's your best recipe for natural viagra? I make watermelon smoothie with lemon juice in it. 

I do follow, and I think is having a certain impact on the price/technology/people's perceptions. Remember, politicians are those people who are highly benefitting from the banking fees and they want everything being controlled so that they can extract more taxes into the budget.

I believe the recent crash was caused by China's political announcements on banning cryptocurrencies. Imagine if Trump makes such an announcement, all of his followers panic and sell their coins and the price will immediately go down. Unfortunately, cryptocurrencies are very sensitive towards such speculations. 

Here is my brief summary of what a beginner should do:

Research,
Forum activity,
YouTube channels,
Step-by-step guides,
Practice.

BUT, don't practice until you feel like ready for trading. Start with smaller amounts and focus on altcoins first. If you much funds to dedicate, also buy some BTC and ETH and hold.

Good luck! 

Laptop. MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Btw, is the someone here who have tried ASUS S series? They cost more expensive than Macs. Are they worth it? Thanks!

I know DOGE and XMR are good, I have bought some and have not got disappointed. Can't give advice about the rest, but I think this is not a good time to sell any coin. We just passed the market correction phase, so your coins are highly possible to grow, thus, wait a bit (at least a week or two). At least you will be able to sell them for a better price. As of the future, count the following coins as well:

ETH, LTC, XRP, NEO, IOTA, Zcash!

Just research them and make your decision afterward! Good luck!  

I think it will at least for the upcoming few years.

The issue is that almost all other cryptocurrencies are heavily dependant on BTC, and whatever happens to it, the rest will also experience.

I noticed during the market crash. The rest of the altcoins were behaving almost like BTC, going up and down in accordance with the BTC pump and dump.

Thus, I believe BTC will continue staying dominant unless another coin really proves being better than BTC, and beats BTC.

I really don't understand the point of such assumptions, because cryptocurrencies are just becoming popular, stable, only 2% of the global population use them, and it has already made a huge difference. Imagine that the number grows time by time and more and more people start trusting it.

I am sure it will beat the popularity of banks very soon (Bitcoin has already beaten VISA). So, that's only the beginning!  

I have come across lots of similar threads in this forum, and have expressed my opinion many times, but I will use this chance again to express (both for me and for forum members) which altcoins I strongly believe in terms of showcasing an exponential growth in 2018:

ETH
LTC
XRP
XMR
NEO
Zcash
Dogecoin
DASH
IOTA

I would limit the list to those coins so far. Some other may join and drop off from the list, we will see.  

The first date should be in a cozy romantic cafe, where you can sit, relax, talk to other and understand each other. Don't be aggressive during the first date, because usually, girls want to understand who you are, what are your preferences. Thus, be nice, so she likes you more. If you get aggressive (like trying to kiss her), she may get afraid, think that you are with her only for certain purposes, you just want to have fun and are not serious.

So relax, be yourself, and, of course, take the lead in conversations 

Good luck!

I am not into politics especially these days and I don't have a political view, because every time I believe the promises of politicians and vote for them, they turn out being wrong at the end. They just don't keep their promise. That's why I decided to stay away from that dirty game named politics. I just have one view:

all politicians and parties support the business interests of those who are sponsoring them. Thus, I don't believe in the slogans politicians make about fairness, well-being, justice, and so on! 

That's gonna be hard, because my surrounding old people can't even use credit cards properly. I think we have to teach them step by step, like we did in terms of explaining them Facebook, Skype and just email. But that will extremely hard. By saying old I mean people above 70s. Even those that are above 60s will be hard to convince. I have never tried but to be honest I don't see a big use of it, because I don't think will care about it.

Anyways, this post gave me some incentives to start, so I will try and see what happens. 

I don't think so, because you need to invest first to gain profit. More you invest, more likely your income will be higher. Thus, again, rich people can become richer if trading cryptocurrencies right, and poor people (who can't afford trading or mining) will stay on the same level. Otherwise, i don't see any other way that can balance income inequality anywhere! 

I did, a year ago, that was not too easy but I accomplished. I just did not smoke at all. I mean I stopped immediately and did not smoke a single one after that. The first too weeks were too hard, but I made it. I just ate an apple every time I wanted to smoke. After a month I decided to try a cigarette, and I hated that, it was digesting. 

Believe me, that's how I did it and it helped. 

That's another ill social phenomena that we have to deal with and try to fix. Kids should be told that there are things that should be done after passing the age limit, otherwise it will harm them physically. Of course, that's a criminal act, and the older partner should be properly investigated and punished, because a kid may not realize the consequences but adults do and they take the responsibility for that. EVEN if the kid initiates it and pushes for it, the adult should block that by any means.

I know my thoughts are too idealistic, but my point is that pedophills bear the full responsibility for that and they are the ones that just criminally punished!

You are making a legit point here. I am was wondering around that question recently, but I decided that I would stick to the well-known coins, because of one major reason: scams.

However, if I manage to do a proper due diligence on new crypto coins and my results are positive, then I don't see any obstacle that can stop me investing in them. 

I am a scientist BUT I believe in God because of one simple reason: there are many things in life that science is not able to explain. Atheists may argue, that it's just that science has not been developed enough to explain such things, but has managed to discover certain rules that make things stand where they stand now, right? For example, the way sun heats our planet, the way gravitation works, the way our planet circles around, and so on. But what if there was a minor deterioration from those rules? Our planet would jump right to the sun and immediately burn down. So what is that superior power that keeps those things in their places?

Call it GOD, Jesus, Evil or just a superior power. I call it God. I don't think there is anything wrong with such assumption.  

I know that GDAX and Coinbase are decent, I have used them couple of times and did not have problems that I can mention here. I was also using Kraken before, however they shut down recently and some people were scared and exhausted with the situation that was created. Luckily, I did not lose money because of that and I was not affected at all, but now I am trying to stay away from Kraken. 

I have stressed this many times, but it is never late to enter the cryptocurrency market because it is just getting started and this is just the beginning of the big era!

Electronic cars are great, aren't they? How many years have they been around? Too many, right? How many people use them? Not too many, right? Imagine one day oil shortage becomes a real problem, the prices immediately increase and see what happens with those cars. Their demand will rapidly increase hand in hand with the price.

Most of the cryptocurrencies are available in limited amounts (it is 21 million for bitcoin). Imagine they are all mined one day. What will happen? You are right, with the extremely high demand its price will jump to the moon.

Ask the question again: is it late to start cryptocurrencies? I think the answer is obvious!  

That's a good question and I can make some analogies with the blockchain. That's a system without leaders, without a central control and authority, and it works great. Is it possible to replace the world leaders with some codes and algorithms that will make smarter decisions? I think yes, taking into account how stupid some of them really are. Imagine, that Putin was a robot controlled by all Russians (only Russians, because he represents Russia). He would follow the decisions most of the 'Putin blockchain' members would agree upon. That would be really a democratic Putin, wouldn't that? He would not take decisions that would only promote his image and business interests. 

The same applies to other world leaders! Don't you agree? 

Since I am a big lover of TV series, I would suggest watching the new episodes of GoT, Sherlock Homes, Riverdale, Stranger Things that had been released in 2017 and 2018 (if you followed their earlier series). If not, then go ahead and start watching them, you will enjoy them a lot! Happy movie watching time!
