It’s a nightmare. IWith the decrease in cash use and practically everyone having a smartphone, governments and large corporations have become reliant on having everyone’s information. this is a restriction on human liberty that should not be allowed to continue. This can be solved with crypto currencies but governments will fight it. Ultimately it will be up to the people to decide how much information they want others to see via their choice of network.

sportjunkie07 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) @volsmet “Studying potential for digital currency” is an oxymoron. we already have a digital currency as most fiat currencies are that way. Some countries are completely cashless. The right “cryptocurrency” has to be used; otherwise it will not differ much that what we have now except that the average world citizen will lose privacy and yield more control to the government. i do expect we trend that way unfortunately. but bitcoin is and will be an uncensorable store of value.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Exactly. I keep like $150 in my wallet. The rest of my money is all just a bunch of binary when I look it up online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert needs to freshen up on his oxymorons, 1s & 0s. The average biped will gain access to the global economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xrp is a crypto that is owned by its parent company ripple. Hence why people often call Xrp ripple. I think volsmet is saying that ripple the company will succeed but the crypto Xrp itself will not. I have never been a fan. Centralized garbage but no doubt you could make money off it. Edited February 12, 2020 by sportjunkie07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Actor Steven Seagal Charged With Unlawfully Touting Digital Asset Offering Washington D.C., Feb. 27, 2020 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced settled charges against actor Steven Seagal for failing to disclose payments he received for promoting an investment in an initial coin offering (ICO) conducted by Bitcoiin2Gen (B2G). The SEC's order finds that Seagal failed to disclose he was promised $250,000 in cash and $750,000 worth of B2G tokens in exchange for his promotions, which included posts on his public social media accounts encouraging the public not to "miss out" on Bitcoiin2Gen's ICO and a press release titled "Zen Master Steven Seagal Has Become the Brand Ambassador of Bitcoiin2Gen." A Bitcoiin2Gen press release also included a quotation from Seagal stating that he endorsed the ICO "wholeheartedly." These promotions came six months after the SEC's 2017 DAO Report warning that coins sold in ICOs may be securities. The SEC has also advised that, in accordance with the anti-touting provisions of the federal securities laws, any celebrity or other individual who promotes a virtual token or coin that is a security must disclose the nature, scope, and amount of compensation received in exchange for the promotion.
