For me it's a bit sad that even though it's been years since the cryptocurrencies started to change our economic and social system, there are people who are trying to "shut it down". I won't criticise mister Stiglitz for his words, because i think that if you have a novel prize in economy, your voice can't be ignored in this case. I just can't see why he can't accept the fact that our world is moving on, and our current "stable" economic system won't always be the best option for us. I rarely think that cryptocurrencies are going to replace regular currencies, i rather think that the process of upcoming changes is so complicated, that will drastically change the way we look at our finances.

For some months now the market has been green to me,  mainly because am not into only bitcoin investment. Take for example the recent spike in price that happened in Veil which is a new project that I came across from my random researches before investing in any Crypto project. I bought this token at a very low price then and some weeks back it rised to a very high price which I couldn't imagine because it's still a new project with lot of developments going on on it.

I definitely agree with you, the market increase is not always a good thing, especially if you are an investor that is seeking for some smaller projects to invest in. It always a more bit risky, because you have many less market indicators that can assure you in your choice. However, those  investmendts can be very satisfying after some time. I had a similiar situation with FuturoCoin - after price dropped down I tried to get rid of it as soon as i could, but the company changed the way they want to continue this project by serving new developments to their source code and to their masternodes system - via their medium: https://medium.com/futurocoinfto/a-futurocoins-masternode-5d51b23628e6. They've finally set the price for a single masternode and it looks like the whole thing is turning around into something good.

There are good option indeed. The problem is, that most of them don’t work. There is always a chance of failure and the risk is high, especially when you throw yourself into the deep end, without any research. That situation divide people on two opposite sites. One will be trying every possible solution found on the internet and they will fail, because probably 90% of the is scam. The second will ignore everything, because they believe there is no chance to make money on this. I believe if we can match in this 10% we have a chance to achieve goal. The real problem is to find this solution.

I’m currently investing into cryptocurrencies and this my additional way of earning money (maybe because this is also one of my lifetime passions, I’m crypto enthusiast since I graduated from university, so I want to support this technology). Time for this industry was rough back in 2018, but now situation is getting more stable. And in crypto indystry I found something which may be interesting. New online ((casino)), called FuturoBet, have been opened this month. Despite obvious option to play in one of online games there for Bitcoins and FuturoCoins (which, to be honest, was the reason of attracting my attention), there is also an option of affiliate program. It will generate passive incomes from people who are playing there. Here you have more info about it: FuturoBet Affiliate
Of course this way of earning money is always a risk, so be careful. But if you hit in right place, then you will be pleased. So I hope it will be a good one.

Agree, you always have to be careful with gambling, no matter what form it takes. Funfact: some time ago Belgium banned lootboxes from an online games, due to hazard law restrictions, but i am also a huge fan of FuturoCoin, so i think i'll give this program a try.

I think that trading is not the only way for cryptocurrencies to survive. I would say that when the situation will clarify, when the market will be stable, and not as volatile as it is now, trading and exchanges won't be the main source of income for people who are dealing with cryptocurrencies. There is a huge potential in blockchain technology and i am sure that we didn't invented even the half of the things that could possibly give cryptocurrencies something like a second life.

It depends how you understand "trading". If your mean only investing on some exchanges and treat crypto only as way of making money, then yes, cryptocurrencies can exist. We should remember that main goal of crypto is global adoption. If we will lead to the situation when coins will be in widespread use (and this is slowly beginning to happen, mostly in case of Bitcoin, but other coins don't stay behind - for example Dash and FuturoCoin are aiming for this, FTO even has its designated chain of restaurants: https://newsroom.futurocoin.com/next-futurenet-restaurant-is-already-open/) then trading won't be necessary anymore

That's what i'm talking about, we don't need exchanges, in a situation when cryptocurrencies are going to replace regular currencies, like in this FuturoCoin example. It's happening right now - slowly, yes, but is happening.

I agree. This whole crisis only showed how good crypto are at adapting to a changing situation on the market. Many currencies have survived thanks to this ability. And they keep doing it, because in his industry flexibility is one of the main rules. For example, to adjust  to market demands, FuturoCoin team announced introduction of masternodes: https://newsroom.futurocoin.com/big-changes/
I'm glad that I can be a part of crypto community, because I feel like my opinion really have a mater

I've been hearing news from them for a while now. I heard that they are planning a fork soon, but it looks like the masternodes are the most important thing right now.

I don't think that crypto will collapse soon but in the perspective of the next years, it's a probability we all have to consider. Current situation is not stable as we want it to, and many projects has slowed down their progress. For a long time I thought that crypto is just a daydream, but guides like this one that change my mind.

It's really confusing, because many countries are against cryptocurrencies as whole, they reject the idea of "online money" - some of them even ban crypto and activities around them - but also more and more governments decide to support crypto, invest in them, they see a potential in it. It's sad that we as a humanity can't agree in anything ;/

Don't think that he would develop such system by himself, probably bunch of people started this whole thing, more likely from across the world
