A quite cute, very uninformative try on their part..
Hopefully we reach a level of understanding that is sufficient soon. I'm tired of hearing 'I invested half my life savings but don't understand how the blockchain works.'
That's scary. Be safe y'all! Learn about crypto, and all the options to come!

Great to see a lot of FUD being squashed at the moment. Long may it continue!
OMG this will make the cryptocurrencies price go up in a considerable way, I can only wait now... great news!
Now let´s see how long will it take for other countries to make a statement like this, supporting crypto even if it needs to be regulated.
nice writing................
But I think we can have all the other coins but we can.
Why do not we see the collapse of many days in the market. If there is a bitcoin banned for a reason, then other coins will not be banned.
And no other coins can stop for this.
But the effect of yes will be on top of Marquette.
So the rest will not stop, maybe it's a little problem to trade now without bitcoin, but at that time maybe other coins will consume the mortar.
Whatever you have learned from my post, many things have been cleared on my small head, so I have said that you make a big dealer mistake, you will see it in forgiveness.
A coin replaced my father... read how below:
