HYDRO was never on fund-raising mode.

    HYDRO created a strong community through Airdrops and none of the coin was sold in initial days to generate funds.

    HYDRO entered the market with an existing product - Raindrop 2FA

    HYDRO was never interested to pay any Crypto exchange to get HYDRO listed. If it would have been done like any other coins, Hydro would have earned in millions.

    Hydro's vision is to overtake Google 2FA authenticator's market and they are very confident on it - https://medium.com/hydrogen-api/sneak-peak-hydro-2fa-app-auth-on-the-blockchain-56574d5746f0

    Raindrop is claimed to be the first blockchain based 2FA in the planet. That being said, Raindrop will be the SAFEST 2FA in the planet.

    A Newyork based company and it invited the public few times to visit their office. This shows their transparency.

    HYDRO is even more transparent that it had exposed the key people's identity in their website via linkedin/Twitter links - https://www.hydrogenplatform.com/about

    HYDRO's mission statement is mature and simply great - "Our company mission is simple: Create a worldwide ecosystem for better, simpler, fairer, more transparent, and more affordable financial products. Hydrogen will create a new digital economy that will uplift and empower an emergent middle class, bringing fintech to the masses." -Mike Kane, Co-Founder & CEO

    Founder is very much down to earth and not self boasting like Justin Sun.

    HYDRO and Team had attended/attending multiple conferences related to Blockchain to broaden their visibility and high chances for you to meet them if you are really interested in Blockchain.

It is currently changing a world in terms of a new knowledge that the crypto technologies provide. Crypto currently serves only for the mean for the profit. A longer time must pass for it to be realized completely into the imagined goals. Africa's government needs to adopt crypto as such but with the current situation that is present there, it is hardly possible right now. I do believe that this technology will change the world but that is far from the happening yet.

It wouldn't be in their interest to ban BTC as such. Bitcoin has become widely known and governments had already tried to interfere in the transactions that include Bitcoin. Problem is that they cannot do much and instead of their restrictions they are trying to adapt to the new situations. Governments of each country specifically are earning from the tax provisions that the citizens of the certain country are giving them because of their investment in the crypto. A strongly regulated law that cannot be easily surpassed is regulating the transactions into the FIAT. Even if the Bitcoin was created as anonymous coin it isn't so anonymous with direct transactions that cannot be avoided in the eyes of the governments. Governments won't ban BTC because that is their newly income profit which they have adapted with.

Warren is an old age billionaire. He is against the crypto ultimately and is predicting the fall in the future. I cannot deny that he is intelligent and also a great businessman but his stubbornness is brutal because he had the bankroll and still has to control a part of the market. He is old age stock investor and like any of the grandpas, he cannot adapt to the new situations. It is easier to spit on the future the embrace it. It is sad that he won't live so long to see the outcome that he has predicted falsely and that is the prevailing of the cryptomarket and not the fall.

It is interesting that even before entering the market the newcomers are educating themselves fully and when they enter the market they still don't know when the manipulation occurs. Bitcoin has become so popular and because of that popularity, many newcomers want it because of its volatility and because of the mystery future growth. When the observers saw the last year growth all of a sudden every one of these same observers is entering the market which isn't in fully manipulated but in most cases it is. All are hoping for easy money but instead of reacting to the mentioned manipulation they should just ignore it! But for the ignorant ones ignoring is not possible because in the moment of the well-organized manipulation they don't even know that it is already happening.

Actually, he has become more arrogant and ignorant. Zuckerberg is indeed a great mind behind the simple project that has turned into the Facebook but his reason for banning crypto ads was for selfish reasons. These selfish reasons are still being kept in secret and they include creating of their own coin. Something has for sure gone wrong in the Facebook company and the income that they get has supposedly fallen too much from the time that the banning occurred. Greed is what drives the company now! The loss they suffered from the banning of the crypto ads hit them hard and for the joy, for many of the people, ads are back.

The world has slowly started to accept Bitcoin and it needed many years only to be acceptable as a form of payment with 10 percent of the service providers. The developers of the tokens; future coins will need to wait twice that time for anonymous coins even be accepted as a form of payment. There are famous coins like Ethereum and so on but not all are accepting it. Something must change in the world for the community to advance towards the future and embrace the new ways of payments.

To reach that goal the Bitcoin would need to fall down. That is still the far future and this current volatility is not letting us get to the point where we could use the Bitcoin as the payment method. It was originally imagined as a peer to peer system but currently, it is just a mean for the profit of the market specialists. I would like to see the future but because I cannot I would love to stay alive until the day when the Bitcoin will truly be accepted as the payment asset for everyone.

It will last till its over. Easily said, we cannot predict the future outcome of the market evolving but we can only hope for the better. I certainly am also convinced that the end of the year will bring us income if we hold. It won't probably reach values that all top coins had last year but it will for sure recover our portfolio in promising coins that we have. Selling right now is not an option because this loss cannot be easily restored when the upside trend starts.

Even if it will achieve growth again I doubt that it will rise to the biggest value it had last year. At the end of this year, we could see growth to the 200 dollars and that will be the top growth ideal for the cash-out. The future is unpredictable but growth is highly possible. I personally don't hold any LTC but had it and sold it when the time was right. Currently, I am only watching and observing the progress which has the bright future if the developers commit themselves even more into the coin development. LTC  is dependant on the other top coin and because it cannot act alone. When the growth of the BTC begins it will pull the LTC also up and those who are long-term holders can make a significant amount of money if they hold LTC in their portfolio.

I must agree with you on that statement. A market is currently evolving. The holders of the LTC can only hope that it doesn't fall even more in the future. It is hard to expect such significant comeback to the 400 dollars. Even Bitcoin which hit unimaginable values last year won't recover again. One is sure - I for sure wouldn't sell it still because there is a slight chance LTC can come to 200 dollars this year.

Even if they are promoting and advertising a bigger push forward is needed for the realization of the op question. Currently, that possibility of the altcoin on banks is still just a dream that will probably be achieved sometimes in the future. This market volatility needs to be settled for that adoption of the altcoins to take its place. I would personally also like to see that outcome but I can only hope for it like the rest of you. Manipulation is still in control of the market but for how long? Patience is the key at this time but the adoption of the altcoins is inevitable in the future.

Market manipulation is currently floating through the market and your question that you will most likely put to realization will result with the satisfaction for the big players which are targeting the ones that are insecure and that are lowering the Bitcoins price with their dumps. The whale cannot crash the market alone but with the fear that is caused by its dumping, the whale can do everything. The result is in the end reinvestment of the big player in the same Bitcoin with the lower price and the accumulation for the future dump of the same. Be smart and keep your portfolio intact!

Bitcoin needs to find a stable value. That value will probably be somewhere between 2000 and 3000 dollars. We are all hoping for the growth but for the Bitcoin to stabilize itself and people start using it as a source of the standard payments it should actually fall. This current price is so volatile and that isn't promising as a source of payment. Bitcoin is still very good for the investors that are accumulating it and using it as a profit gaining machine. I don't know for certain what the future will bring but for now, the shoes will still need to be bought with the FIAT.

Accumulation is always welcomed if the BTC is bought at the right time. 2 months is too short by my opinion fro the BTC to climb again. I think that the manipulators have different wishes for the future growth and they won't be put to the realization before last 2 months of this year. I personally am also a long holding term fan but even I doubt the logical advancement of the crypto towards rising because market volatility has become too unpredictable to predict when will the next phase of the growth begin.

With that said all of us would be very successful but if you put in consideration that the 80 percent people on the world ain't really successful then this theory of yours falls in the water. It is well known that the good and honest people don't get any good stuff in the life.

To be the almighty and powerful businessman one must learn how to become corrupt. That is the real truth behind the success - Corruption!

Even if the businessman is slightly corrupted it is already a good way to advance to the top ladders where the successful ideologist prevail which had put their lies and corrupted thoughts before everything else. Become a corrupted soul and the power will come on its own - That is the truth behind the economic leadership today.

This is your routine. Someone else has the different routine which suits him better. The question is kind of odd because if the Economics is the best for studying in 5 -6 then what about other classes. Is math better at 8-9? We are all different and to the op, all of us can give just suggestions that are based on our own terms of adaptation. In the end, the op will find his own routine that suits him the best.

Because of that same situation through analyzation prior to joining the bounty is needed to be made. Even in the cases when you have studied fully before joining the bounty this situation can happen and all your time is actually lost in vain. Try to contact the developers be consistent with your questions about your reward and n the end try to join with a bigger group which has the same problem like you that is caused by a same developer team and project.

Lightning Network is already being in use. There is no moving forward. The final factor which is deciding the flow of the Bitcoins value are the big players which are dumping it for a future reinvestment. I believe that Bitcoin will achieve some reasonable value in the comparison to the last years highest price but it won't for sure to climb back to that price. Those that are selling right now panicking too much but a little cautious is actually good if at first that same Bitcoin particle was bought at a reasonable price when compared to the selling time.

Everyone who isn't capable of thinking with their own brain but is rather manipulated by the crowd deserves to end with a loss. Crypto Market is the harsh territory and everyone without some sustainable knowledge can easily be eaten by the sharks. Buying at higher prices and selling at lower is approved if sold because of the necessity to prevail over the certain person life obstacle which can be only crossed with the money. I am still a holder which is NOT brainwashed by the organized manipulation which has in these heavy days overloaded the market. Before even entering the market the investor should prepare her/himself for the future possible phases in the cryptomarket and also invest only that amount of the money which she/he is willing to lose. In this opposite case, the traders are cashing out with a loss because the banks are already sitting on their houses and they cannot wait any longer for a crypto breakthrough.
