Trust it but not 100%, maybe 80% as everything always going smoothly all the time, in fact, I have stored 85% of my btc in the local exchange. I consider it's different between exchange and trading platform which the exchange mostly serve only for bitcoin to fiat money and vice versa or listed some famous altcoins.
We always heard: exchanges isn't an ideal place to store your bitcoin for a long time due to the risk of being hacked.
However, many people do the same thing all over the exchanges, but don't trust the trading platform to store coins, just get in and cash out immediately.

Last year the price starts at $1000 and this year starts at $13,000, looking at this chart makes people come to crypto-market and think; "I'm gonna rich in a short time, faster than ever", in fact, the way isn't always going smoothly and investment takes time including bitcoin. Now, the price set at $6K, if you want to invest right now, do your own diligence to learn about crypto-market and be patient waiting for the price to recover which definitely it will be.

BMV adopt bitcoin payment as an alternative to SWIFT, so International payment means to transfer money anywhere around the globe, I guess.


At least a domestic bank in Latin America area has adopted bitcoin even though have to cooperate with a 3rd party as the intermediary, it's still good enough to introduce bitcoin to layman. Moreover, people will believe more confident in the service because bank offers security and guarantee of their funds.

Lucky for you then, not so much to lose and take it as a lesson, don't trust a cloud mining in general, I have learned it's more profitable to buy and hold coins (btc, eth, bch) for several months than invest in cloud mining which takes 6 months just to achieve ROI.
Interesting to know what is the alternate plan from HF, but have you check the latest news about bitcoin difficulty?
Seems it has been decreased since a news about mining center in China was hit by floods, maybe it can affect hashflare income somehow, but definitely we need the price to increase.

Sadly for the miners in there, but people hope the difficulty decrease as a bunch of BTC mines destroyed by a massive flood.
If you read the article carefully, it stated that;
Did it Have an Impact on Bitcoin Hashrate?
The majority of bitcoin’s hashrate originates from mining pools like BTC.com, AntPool, and ViaBTC, which outsource computing power from ASIC miners globally. Hence, while a large mining center in Sichuan may have shut down due to poor weather conditions, it is not sufficient to have any real impact on the hashrate of bitcoin.
It is highly unlikely that the flooded mining centers in Sichuan caused the drop in the hashrate..
Bitcoin difficulty has increased by 17.89 % in the last 30 days, if we check on coinwarz and bitcoinwisdom, Current Bitcoin Difficulty is 5,077,499,034,879.
However, after reading another article on bitcoinist stated the difficulty drops because of this disaster, current difficulty according to bitcoin.com; 2018/07/01 - Hash Rate TH/s : 37,103,365

Facebook has been abruptly reversed ban on crypto-ads, now you can advertise cryptocurrency on Facebook but not ICOs.
Now, Facebook reversed its ban and will let you advertise crypto on the social giant, but is the company setting the board for its own chess pieces? Although ICOs still get the boot.
https://ameinfo.com/technology/it/facebook-crypto-ad-ban-reversed/
Everything is just a rumor until it proven to be true, so we just waiting for a Facebook official announcement about it.
Although, a new crypto for Facebook isn't a bad thing as many companies have been developing their own coins as means of payment in the platform.



For both of you, here we go:

Yeah, Hashflare will terminate so many contracts since they have announced payout is less than maintenance fees.
Everyone who have invested to cloud mining should aware of the risk, especially after some shady act of Hashflare.
That's why I said, there is nothing you can do but let it go, because Hashflare T&C have explains that, unless you have access to visit their main office and manage to ask for refund. maybe it's time for Hashflare to shut down their business.
May I know how much $$ you have invested? Or how much hashrate you have?

Sadly, there's nothing you can do about it, even if there's an option to add more hashpower, I encourage to don't do that.
It seems like hashflare keeps making excuses to cut customers money as much as possible through their T&C such as 21 days suspension period. It's strange though, as they said: with the latest spike of mining difficulty exceeding 14%, while the price of Bitcoin continues to decline, the payout was lower than the maintenance fee, which resulted in the balance not increasing and remaining the same
but we don't know how much total hashrate and maintenance fee they have to cover, or have they disclose the information about it?
For the record, this is the mining fees for customers:
The maintenance and electricity fees (MEF) is linear and equals 0.0035 USD per every 10 GH/s of SHA-256 and 0.005 USD per every 1 MH/s of Scrypt per day.

Altcoins are more likely following bitcoin, seems like it's growing together, side by side. If bitcoin price decline, so does altcoin.
Because of people look for a chance to make profits by investing in altcoins, hoping for it getting bigger after bitcoin.
Most coin in the market has fallen more than 50% even more since bitcoin plummet, altcoins tend to rise and fall according to bitcoin price. Don't hope for altcoins dumped to pump bitcoin, but hope for new development and acceptance of bitcoin in various sector, then the price will automatically increase.

Finally, the market reacts after some good news regarding crypto development, or else bitcoin price has reached the floor and it's time to bounce back. However, too early to celebrate it, if the price can hold its position at $6400 for at least 48 hours without decline again, then we may see bulls run again. Remember, a sign of bulls domination is the break of resistance levels, which is $6200-$6400.

It should be a basic thing to be known by everyone who wants to invest in EOS, that block producers have the power to freeze your accounts. EOS is not decentralized nor you have immutability to possess this coin.
On the other hand, not everyone feels it's something excessive as the freeze accounts possibly involved in scam act and the EOS block producers are within their rights to protect their investors and community by taking action against those who violate the ‘constitution’.. Moreover, if someone who has one of those freeze accounts didn't do something shady can lodge an application to review their account.

Yes, it's intentionally. We have alleged that market manipulation is rampant by some groups of big investors and/or exchanges itself.
Traders and/or exchanges can place millions of orders without executing it, which can influence prices movement.
It happens due to lack of regulations and limited oversight of manipulative trading, spoofing and wash trading.
In spoofing, a trader submits a spate of orders and then cancels them once prices move in the desired direction. Wash trades involve cheaters trading with themselves to give a false impression of market demand that lures other to dive in too.

Looks interesting, few questions:
- as you said, profits generated by giving a loan to traders through exchanges, which exchanges are included?
- the interest rate is variable, tell me about it? How if someone deposit BTC5 or BTC10 for a week or a month?
- For example, if you have kept the Bitcoin to your account only for 5 hours, you will receive an interest proportionate to the time of permanence of your bitcoins on our platform. guaranteed profits even for 5 hours, is that possible even for small amount such as BTC0.05?

Bitcoin doesn't follow the seasonal pattern in this year, the chart almost completely different until today as the price keeps declining since February and no sign to rise anytime soon. Bitcoin price affected by many factors but news contribute to influence people, whether there are so many bad news or good news around will trigger buy and sell in the market. If there are some new development and acceptance, the price will increase soon and vice verse, we can predict the market by keep watching the latest news even though it's not 100% accurate. Can't say the price will rise or fall again, just let the market bearish or bullish in the time frame.

He might did the right thing by sold all and just hold one bitcoin, it's a good thing as he sells at the peak, big profits for him.
On the other hand, he's not the only one who did that, there are many people sold at the peak for sure which contribute to the price to plummet more than 60% due to panic sell like a snowball, getting bigger as time goes on and stop at one point.
Look at the current price, bitcoin struggle to maintain its position above $6K, moreover to reach the ATH.
The hype came by the end of the last year, the price pumped significantly and then suddenly end in February this year.
However, the cycle always repeated, just takes time to achieve it.

Considering how much money involved in the crypto market, some governments have issued regulations and laws to supervise the exchanges in their State. Everyone can access exchange reviews and the detail of each exchange such as supported countries, payment methods accepted, fees, customer support, limits, privacy (KYC) and if there any past issues. Treat exchanges as a place to transact, not to store the coins.
Big investors are welcome to invest or buy bitcoin through some licensed exchanges, what does really matter is whether they want to invest in bitcoin or not, referring to the value and usability in short, mid and long-term

Less than 6 months left in the year and bitcoin still tanks above $6K, had time fallen to $58** though, probably it's the resistance level.
The dip may not over, and this is just another bear trap. Unless we close above $6200 today a 24 hours candle & $6300 level holds, bulls may try to push further. Also, a sign of bulls domination is the break of resistance levels.
You have the point to buy at the lowest level at this time, buy and hold will always works as long as people believe in the value of bitcoin, just wait for another peak by the end of the year, $10K is still great for us.

In short, it's such an assurance program to ensure the profits of miners that not affected by price changes which probably goes down in a short time by selling at the peaks to optimize profits and/or using derivatives like options, futures, and other instruments, isn't it?
No offense but, don't you think miners know how to do it by themselves? as they have to sell and sell in bulk at the peaks in order to cover electricity costs. Well, it may works for some miners, interested to the client who has been contacted bloc10 to hedging their mining operation. You guys seem really professionals, may have to open an announcement thread for this service.

Others have said more than enough, it's 'trust' matter. If you just see it as funny business plan, then that's the way it is, just for fun, not even become a real one. Credibility and trustworthy, two things that you don't have here.
Everyone will come to conclusion; better to hold it by my self as long as I want and no fee at all.
Different from your funny business plan:
Your tokens will be locked at least one year in our wallets.
After one year you will get 98% of your tokens.
1      Month   =You will get back 50% of your tokens.
2      Months =You will get back 60% of your tokens.
3-6   Months =You will get back 75% of your tokens.
6-12 Months =You will get back 90% of your tokens.
>12  Months =You will get back 98% of your tokens.

Simply won't works.
