If you consider "fundamentalist" a rude adjective to descibe the said behaviour, what would be a better adjective then? I don't have anything against that kind of attitude, it's great and I approve those guys though I my

The text read like total mumbo jumbo. I have heard about hyperledger multiple times, but I still don't get what's the value prop. Maybe it is just a trap for banks so they waste their time and resources on that, while the real blo

What does the market say? ICOs seem to be very popular so effectively quite a lot of people seem to consider them a good thing, at least currently. Does useful mean the same as ethical? Those people do ICO's to raise money from other p

Why wouldn't you just do several rounds? No ned to commit that money. These "entrepreneurs" are just raising as much as they can. And because there is so much dumb money in crypto, they raise a lot.

Yeah, they wouldn't work with fiat that well, since goverment wouldn't allow it (basically).

When doing business, you have to look after yourself. In this case you could have been follwing what the co-founder was doing, and you should have brought up that you don't consider it fair. Things are simpler when there is some simple

How do you define being poor? My definition: having to think about money or surviving all the time. With stable low-income job or even with small savings without job, you can live quite stress-free life if you keep your living expenses low.

Well, if you really use money only for basic food and essentials, I think you can survive with very, very little money. I did that when I was a student. Life can be just quite dull if you eat that kind of food from day to day. What I see is

Interestingly in US paying the ransom was illegal, nowadays they are reverting that, since it was highly problematic and resulted to more deaths for the hostages, and longer hostage times. And in the end the ransom often still was paid. My

Sounds like a great way to get the hostages killed at the same time. Maybe it would work _after_ the kidnappers have been paid.

I'm not sure if that would be an effective way to get kidnappings deterred. There are varied policies on kidnappings, discussed here: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/09/01/548032302&#x2F

I don't really get the concept and the benefits. The user has to install a wallet software, but the only way to fund that is using some existing payment method. And the merchant needs a bank account. To me this sounds pretty pointless.

Can you list any specific examples? I'm aware of products that track the BTC price and futures, but not really any existing players which would allow you to buy actual btc so that you can hold it in your own wallet.
