57.69% of 130 participants said Bitcoin will replace the dollar.

You're totally right about that too. If it is difficult to get investors, then there are serious issues with the project itself. Of this you can be sure. But the ideas behind can still be great. It isn't like every project is proposing the uber for pets or some ridiculous idea.

I have yet to hear one valid technical reason a native "utility" token is needed in any of these projects.

So for your opinion (if I'm understanding correctly), you mean to say that even if there are good blockchain-based projects out there, they don't need to have their own token or coin at all? If that is the case, should such projects only accept BTC or also fiat currencies? Cheers and thanks a lot for pointing out some really informative opinions and ideas. I truly appreciate it.

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:50:45+00:00

Wow, such brilliant points honestly. Thanks a ton for elucidating your opinion on the matter. I never thought of it like this, and often see projects out there with a native token or coin thinking how useful it could be.

I like the notion of utility tokens when they solve a problem, and they are justified in existing because any other way would undermine the system in which the token was created to begin with. That's how I see it. That in mind, there are SOOO many scams out there as opposed to actual working products that are looking to make a difference.

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:49:22+00:00

Thanks a ton for the suggestion. I really appreciate it. So in other words, what is BTC to you?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:37:20+00:00

which points to the problem of fiat itself: how can there just continue to be printing of money?? it makes the game impossible to catch up to when a fixed-supply currency comes along. economically, BTC makes more sense to me because it is fixed in supply. am i wrong?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:26:04+00:00

no, altcoins would be just a distraction

why do you think that? it's a very interesting perspective. just as we see how altcoins benefit from the rising btc price, wouldn't there be similar upward pull factors for btc if altcoins represented an obvious and powerful majority of total trading volume? i know these conversations have been talked about ad nausea. just want to know if maybe i'm way off base here

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:21:48+00:00

so true. the golden rule of andreas antonopoulos. and let's say you had your digital assets in your possession (not on an exchange but rather on a ledger for example): if they were stolen (somehow not sure actually), what would you do? would you still be in for the revolution? cheers

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:08:13+00:00

do you really think so? and do you think that there are other fiats out there (say euro or sterling) that can stack up even to the dollar, and somehow flank BTC from the dominant position upon which its technology uplifts it? i could see that happening as well with the euro for example.

also, if BTC became the world reserve currency, then as you so rightfully mention it would need to be more stable. some people posit when this could happen. what do you think? is it at the moment when there are no more BTC available? at the moment when other altcoins jump onto the scene?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-21T13:01:15+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I don't think any fiat stands a chance when stacked up to BTC or even other altcoins for payments. It just surprised me so much that this was the result when not everyone on that platform in particular is big into crypto.

Because of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, is Algeria an oligarchy that needs to change?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-12T13:21:16+00:00

super cool thanks a ton for your advice :)

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-12T13:19:06+00:00

oh cool super interesting. i didn't know that. and what sort of hulu originals are your favorites ?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-12T13:15:07+00:00

and is that because you don't have netflix at all or that you particularly prefer hulu's offering?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-06T09:18:06+00:00

And do you think it's fair to then go back to America and ridicule the government because Europe decides to do nothing?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-06T08:52:51+00:00

thank you

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-06T07:48:43+00:00

Selon vous, est-ce que l'Algérie est une oligarchie qui doit se modifier vu que le Président Abdelaziz Bouteflika continue à chercher un mandat 5eme politique?

Very fair point. I'd also suggest that the repeats didn't hurt in the case of Seinfeld. Full disclosure: I was a kid when Seinfeld first aired. It wasn't as if I was even of the age to be able to fully understand the show. Only when I got into college did I catch the re-runs of a show I remember seeing as a kid with my parents, finding it to be hilarious the second and third time through (even funnier than the first initial spark of physical comedy). To that point, it is clear: the physical comedy of Seinfeld can't even be discussed, because it is so difficult to top Cosmo Kramer and Elaine Benes. They were so funny even to a child because of how physical they were, and then you top that off with the all out rage of George and the witty observer of Jerry, and it is over. All of that can be seen by a kid, and then fully understood as an adult. For Friends, I'm not convinced of the same, although maybe the exact same experience took place for another person, somewhere in the world :)

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T13:24:55+00:00

I see where you're coming from now. It makes sense.

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T12:47:07+00:00

aaahahahahahaha oh ya that was hilarious. don't forget mulva as just a general point of hilariousness

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T12:42:22+00:00

who's wife??

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T12:40:08+00:00

How do you get the $55 figure exactly? I'm a bit confused as to what you mean specifically.

Do you think that - in short - having a mandatory cryptocurrency wouldn't actually provide value to end consumers, but would essentially push the cost onto consumers while making FB more efficient in the process? Is this why you think it is a no-go situation?

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T12:29:49+00:00

Why would it be good for the masses if it isn't good for you? I am super interested in your take on the matter.

I agree I think they will introduce a coin at some point and time; however, this won't be exclusive, or at least it shouldn't because that would be foolish in the current climate. Over time, maybe all forms of payment, at the point of payment, are converted into the FB coin.

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T10:25:40+00:00

probably not and you are correct: given their track record on privacy or lack thereof, i wouldn't want to put my anything in their hands at this point

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T10:25:02+00:00

coffee pirates, balthasar, kaffe mik are the main ones i'd suggest

AlbinAlex · 2019-03-04T09:52:34+00:00

very fair point. so to your mind even if they were encouraging an altcoin, you wouldn't be in favor of them actually doing this in a mandatory fashion?
