Except that all Chinese exchanges / ICOs got banned a couple of months ago. The US is probably that largest market, it's the home of Coinbase ... I just don't see what you are basing this assertion on.

An interesting article that I thought was flawed in one major way - the omission of her paintings. Was the one at the top of the article by her? (it doesn't say, and I'm not about to use reverse image search to find out). A real s

Hey, sorry the late reply! I already read RPO as soon as someone else told me about it, and I absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for mentioning it. I'm even going to brand Solarversia as: "Hunger Games meets Ready Player One&quot

This is the single best article I've read that explains why I'm writing the novel I'm writing. It's called Solarversia, and it's about a game played in Virtual Reality by 100m people in the year 2020. I'm going

Why is it lame/appalling? I've read the comments on the blog post and apparently the "duino" name isn't trademarked, and therefore they are quite within their right to use a variation of it (however lame it may appear). Further commentary r
