This is quite a case. Esp where it says John Doe accessed a protected computer.... so perhaps and employee?  manipulated the sell and buy prices to artificially inflate the market. Here is the actual court filing: https://www.scribd.com/document/392698070/Bitmain-Lawsuit

For a long period of time crypto companies have had to operate in uncertain markets when storing company funds, this uncertainty stems from banks unrelenting assaults towards companies related to cryptocurrencies or just by having ”Bit” in their name. These assaults are executed in a form of  commercial bank account denials or simply freezing accounts without prior warning or notification.

These kind of actions create an enormous amounts of unnecessary stress to the company leaders and employees whose work gets disrupted by denying them ,what we consider to be a basic right, a safe and trusted way to store company funds.

We are looking to solve this problem for more information please visit: https://www.knabu.me/

Knabu: Our vision to build a fiat clearing bank for the Crypto community!

We first wrote our initial draft of the Knabu whitepaper in September 2017, as a culmination of years of thought and often frustrating experiences in having our bank accounts closed or queried simply because we use or reference digital assets. At the same time, we kept observing bad actors, not just opaque banks with terrible customer service, but token projects which are scams and taint our otherwise credible token market.

In the years leading up to Knabu, we’ve had the privilege of seeing our space grow massively. Back in the day there were small bitcoin meetups where you knew everyone by name. Now there is a massive global sector with large industrial scale projects: from decentralised exchanges to blockchain software architecture to miners to blockchain gaming. New services and models are being created at an accelerating rate.

We are still excited, as when we first discovered Bitcoin, about how the technology can eliminate inefficiencies and help optimise the benefits of numerous industries.

What Is Knabu?

In short, we are a blockchain technology company that has started the authorisation process to be a utility bank in the UK.

We want to enable innovators and future thought leaders to focus more on the quality and strength of their proposition. We will help them do that in two ways.

First, actors in the crypto economy should not have to worry about getting a business bank account or the stress of it being closed at short notice due to unjustified ‘risk’. Having an operational commercial bank account in our opinion is a basic right that should not be denied to crypto companies because they are doing something new. At the same time, the bank model is outdated. We are engineering our utility bank to use blockchain technology and build upon decentralised mechanisms that can remove inefficiencies that exist today.

What Is A Utility Bank?

A utility bank is also known as a clearing bank. In the UK, clearing banks have settlement accounts with the Bank of England. The entire UK payment system settles across these Bank of England accounts. There are currently only seven clearing banks which are Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank and Clearbank.

In the last 250 years, there has only been one clearing bank to enter the UK market. We are looking to further break this monopoly and be the first blockchain technology company to be bring utility. We’ll do this as a B2B business, being being direct members of fiat payment schemes (eg Faster Payment and CHAPS). In addition to deposit taking and transaction processing of our own customers, we’ll facilitate the actual movement of money from one account to another between customers of other banks and payment service providers (PSPs).

Utility should be the order of the day in providing valuable services and helping the economy to grow. So we plan to introduce products and services which are blockchain aligned and which leverage the efficiencies of self clearing assets towards a universal settlement layer.

Looking Forward

We are continuing to work hard on development and our licensing process. We appreciate the very positive and encouraging engagement with UK regulators in this journey who have shared their deep interest in fintech with us.

Solutions:

1. Use good R:R with 1% SL
2. Exit when you identify bearish divergence in indicators/resistance/candle
3. I'm understanding this it's hard to leave computer when you're at loss = only take good R:R-setups with MAX 1% loss.
4. I've no idea what this means
5. Good R:R with 1% SL
6. No need to stop there if bearish divergence/reverse-pattern is nowhere to be seen.
7. Experience will help with this one, watch the trade progress through analytical eyes and disregard your feelings.

The one thing you're supposed to minimize as well as possible is "luck" in trading. Do you think it's always the same guys profiting the most yearly results of good luck? Absolutely not. They're the ones who know how to manage their trades when bad luck occurs and something unexpected happens. Luck has very little to do in long term trading career, i'd go as far as say it has absolutely nothing to do when looking at people with multi-decade long career in trading stocks/crypto/etc.

One of the best things a veteran traders has told me was "If a trade is not self-evident, i will not take it. The idea of studying charts is ludicrous to me".

Only takeing trades that you're sure of does pays off in long term.

I'm guessing by resistance you actually mean support since you're talking about price going down. And by all means no, R:R-trading is especially important in cryptos since the volatility is so great compared to traditional markets. I'd rather lose 1% in a major dump than lets say 7% by having a good R:R-setup.

And lets take an example here, you said "BTC might go down for weeks".

You take long right now and BTC goes down for 4 weeks straight 1% per week. At the end of this week your stop-loss activates and you lost 1%. If you wouldn't have had that good of a R:R-setup your loss would be 4% without setting up your stop-loss.

Best R:R-setups are often found at supports, you open long directly at support with good R:R, and your stop-loss being set below the support line. This would give you the chance to either lose 1% at MAX or gain 3% judgeing by the current price action were having between 6561 and 6754.

I usually start my trades looking at the biggest losers of the day, they often present better options to hop into a trade when coin/token is oversold and approaching support. No reason to hop into pumping coins mid-pump when there's better R:R-setups floating around.

Yes and no, there's no requirement on the exchange-side how many Bitcoin should you own before you start trading. But keeping in mind that the exchange fees do stack up alot if you're active trader and should be taken into consideration. Anything less than 1000usd gets eaten easily especially if your win% isn't extremely good.

I personally wouldn't start with anything less than 5K worth unless going high propability trades with margin.

If Binance would allow shorting there wouldn't be any need to use anything else. Sadly it does not.

It's clearly a great exchange with transparent CEO and battle-tested security which didn't fail in real situation.

For shorting there's always Bitmex, which to my knowledge hasn't had any security issues and currently stands as the most popular margin exhange for people in EU.

HODLing has historically been pretty wise decision, depending on the asset of course. I'd only recommend trading if you're educated in the matter and know what you're doing.

Experience and obeying a solid strategy when tradeing anything has helped alot of people to get rid of the fomo and look at the trading opportunities through analytical view, rather than fomo-glasses.

Many people start their days meditating and clearing their mind before trading, which i'm sure is helpful.

Relaxing music calms people down and helps focusing.

There's always a way to make money whether market is going up or down, that's why going short was invented in the first place.

Like most things in the world, everything becomes alot easier when you've enough capital to pave the way. Bringing Bitcoins price down is no problem for whales holding multiple hundred millions worth of Bitcoins in their wallets. That's why people tend to follow their wallets activity and even have bots to give warning when there's movement happening between the wallet and exchanges.

Liquidity solves this problem quite handily, it's alot easier to manipulate low liquidity markets where the orderbooks are extremely thin compared to traditional markets.

Binance for example doesn't enforce KYC if you withdraw less than 2 BTC's a day, if you want to withdraw more than that daily then KYC is required.

First of all you shouldn't take investment advices from anyone in the crypto space unless you're 110% sure that they've never been involved in fraudulent activity and have a solid track record in recommending profitable investments. Even then you shouldn always do your own research on the project or doing your own technical analysis, and only after that decide if you're still on the same page with the "advisor". In cases like this you unfortunately have no one else to blame but yourself, take this as a lesson.

One thing daytraders absolutely do NOT want is stability in the prices, that would put them out of business. The volatility is where they make money, it's alot harder to make profit during slow times with low volatility.

I wouldn't recommend starting with daytrading, if you don't know what you're doing it will punish you and teach you a lesson real quick. It's alot harder than people think and many of the ex-forex traders have migrated away from it to longer timeframe trading.

If you're investing in the product because you believe it will grow in value i the upcoming years, the only thing i'd use technical analysis is finding a good entry-point. If you're truly confident that token XYZ will 100x in the coming years, i don't even see searching entry-point that necessary.

When planning in going to long term investments i personally look for moving averages, 50, 100 and 200MA's are great way to verify that the direction of the price is going to the preferred one. No need to start nitpicking about the low timeframe RSI's etc. when looking for long term investments. If the fundamentals look solid to you, go for it.
