Telegram groups are not advisable if you're a newbie trader since a lot of these are pump and dump groups where you really won't learn anything. Its still best to do your own research and accumulate experiences by yourself. There's no shortcut in being an effective trader and failing is always a part of it

I mean I really don't think this is going to change anything, the government is just trying to increase revenue any way that they can. So it's not like they're openly promoting for Bitcoin, I think they just come to terms (with research and stuff) that they'd be able to do well with accepting bitcoin, maybe save some money on fees and then maybe even bring in some more tax revenue. So this isn't be done out of good faith, it's just being done in general.

While it does look good it's really nothing of value for us. We need adoption by businesses.

A Japanese man has been questioned in connection with last month’s massive theft of digital tokens from cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck Inc., a source close to the investigation said.

The police learned that the man converted a small amount of the missing NEM coins into another form of cryptocurrency called litecoin through a site on the darknet, which can only be accessed through special anonymity software, the source said Saturday. The man was aware the NEM had been stolen from Coincheck.

About ¥58 billion ($533 million) worth of NEM was stolen on Jan. 26, with more than ¥500 million worth of it likely to have since been converted into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to data security experts.

The NEM was split up and dispersed to several digital addresses.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s cybercrime division, which questioned the man on a voluntary basis, suspects several people were involved in converting the stolen NEM and is monitoring darknet sites and NEM transactions to identify them, the source said.

A host of government websites were found to be running a power-pinching program that uses visitors' computers to mine cryptocurrency, a process known as "cryptojacking".

Thousands of websites, including the Information Commissioner's Office, the Scottish NHS helpline and the Student Loans company along with hundreds of other central and local government sites appear to have been hijacked by hackers to mine cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The services were infected with malware called Coinhive, which sits on a website and steals the processing power of its visitors' devices to mine Bitcoin or alternative coins that are stored in an anonymous digital wallet, to be withdrawn at a later date.

Ethereum's more senior developers are calling for a public debate over what steps, if any, should be taken at the software level to return funds lost in high-profile hacks and incidents.

In a bi-weekly meeting Friday, the developers took sides over a controversial ethereum improvement proposal, EIP 867, which advocates for a method of returning funds to potential victims. As profiled by CoinDesk, the issue has emerged as a lightning rod due to the fact the proposal advocates using system-wide software upgrades as a possible fix.

Iceland is expected to use more energy mining bitcoin than powering its homes this year.

Large virtual currency mining companies have established a base on the island, which has an abundance of geothermal and hydroelectric power plants.

And with massive amounts of energy needed to run the computers that create bitcoins, it is seen as an ideal base.

Johann Snorri Sigurbergsson, business development manager at the energy company Hitaveita Sudurnesja, said he expected Iceland’s virtual currency mining to double its energy consumption to around 100 megawatts this year.

That is more than households use on the island nation of 340,000, according to Iceland’s National Energy Authority.

Pretty much this.

They're just making up an excuse for people to not withdraw from them as frequently. It'll delay most people's withdrawals because they know that people are going to have difficulty with presenting docs, even though this was not required when they deposited.

Needless to say, don't deposit any sum of money onto their site. It's just going to be wasting your own money since they are most likely to be insolvent.

I'm wondering if anyone has been able to verify their poloniex account when they had initially used a made up name?

Gibraltar will introduce the world’s first regulations for initial coin offerings with dedicated rules for the cryptocurrency sector whose fast growth has triggered concern among central bankers.

They are worried about financial stability and protecting consumers but regulators have so far adopted a patchwork approach to ICOs, ranging from bans in China to applying existing securities rules in the United States.

This has created legal uncertainty for transactions that sometimes straddle many countries.

Gibraltar’s government and Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) said lawmakers will discuss a draft law in coming weeks to regulate the promotion, sale and distribution of tokens connected with the British overseas territory.

The GFSC said it would represent the first set of bespoke rules for tokens in the world.

“One of the key aspects of the token regulations is that we will be introducing the concept of regulating authorized sponsors who will be responsible for assuring compliance with disclosure and financial crime rules,” said Sian Jones, a senior adviser to the GFSC.

The regulation will establish disclosure rules that require adequate, accurate and balanced information to anyone buying tokens, the government and Financial Services Commission said in a joint statement.

this is a big lie
even if someone knew your email and password,he still can not log in cause poloneix send a code to your email address whenever you try to sign in

I really think that BTC needs to break above $10,000, the previous support now resistance, before we can confirm its recovery. Otherwise, we still risk falling bellow $6,000 levels.
