Thank Mr @nuoctuong about reward!
Today I read this paper:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/10/bitcoin-is-the-currency-of-the-internet-wall-street-crypto-trader.html
Bài báo nói về tiềm năng của tiền mã hoá, đặc biệt là bitcoin. Họ cho rằng đầu tư vào bitcoin là khoản đầu tư tốt nhất trong thị trường crypto. Nhưng tôi có một cách nhìn khác.
Chúng ta không thể phủ nhận vai trò của bitcoin đến thời điểm hiện tại, nó là đồng tiền mã hoá đầu tiên, nó là sản phẩm đầu tiên của công nghệ blockchain, nó là đồng tiền trung chuyển giữa các đồng tiền mã hoá khác. Tuy nhiên bitcoin có rất nhiều điểm yếu mà bản thân nó rất khó thay đổi:

  • Công nghệ blokchain của bitcoin lạc hậu: tốc độ giao dịch chậm, phí cao, không có các tính năng mới như smartcontrac, voting.....
  • Việc duy trì hệ thống bitcoin tốn rất nhiều năng lượng không cần thiết trong khi hiện tại có rất nhiều công nghệ để xử lý giao dịch mà gần như không tiêu hao năng lượng
  • Bitcoin đang bị tập trung hoá và bị chi phối bởi lợi ích nhóm: chính là các big pool tham gia duy trì hệ thống
    Do vậy đối với riêng tôi, tôi công nhận vai trò của bitcoin cho đến hiện tại nhưng tôi sẽ không đầu tư dài hạn vào nó. Vì xét cả về tiềm năng tăng trưởng và yếu tố lợi nhuận bitcoin không bằng các đồng tiền khác. Dạo này chúng ta đọc rất nhiều thông tin tích cực liên quan đến bitcoin và các crypto khác, tuy nhiên các bạn nên cẩn thận với những tin tức tích cực này. Có thể chúng đang báo hiệu một đợt giảm giá mới cho thị trường crypto.
    Take care!

https://qz.com/1324595/instead-of-a-ban-india-may-turn-cryptocurrencies-into-a-commodity/

Says otherwose, India is actually trying to regulate the decentralised market not ban it as people are saying.

..

I still dont know what to say, for someone to say crypto is a fallacy in this present age is funny.

I do not win this time, should be like that, because a lot of times the winner will be the unjust. khakha
Looks like the number of players is still low, although your event is well known. This proves Steemit is still not the home of the Steemians, the Steemian log in Steemit with limited time. :(
As always, I leave 2 news and will write articles, otherwise it will be late. :)

  2. Canadian Crypto Exchange Coinsquare to Launch in Japan https://news.bitcoin.com/canadian-cryptocurrency-exchange-coinsquare-launch-japan/

Most of the news show optimism towards the bear market. I think it's the right time that we switch to other focus as the market may observe a significant downturn again before moving up. Generally, I'm bullish on the long-term, but for short-term, I would rather staying out of any trading activities.

@nuoctuong maybe something will change
