Going through this list saddens me alot, not because of alots of money have been stolen in cryptocurrency sector but because the whole security breach is against the core functions and nature of blockchain. Any platform that has blockchain behind it was supposed to have an additional layer of security that cannot be tampered with but seeing exchanges being hack with each passing day suggest otherwise. I hope exchanges will employ more stronger security infrastructures inorder to leave no loopholes for these scammers to prey on no more. This hack here and there is tainting this sector bad as new potential investors are always skeptical with their fear being exchange are not safe.

I can't help but commend the efoort of the various brain behind binance exchange, those guys are folk hero to the crypto space. With thevarious innovations and progress they are adding to this space and their service with each passing day, i can confidently say they are setting a new form of standard that will pioneer the massive adoption of cryptocurrency by the outside world. No availability of FIAT GATEWAYS have been the problem preventing mass crypto adoption for quite sometimes now as new potential investors are always scared of going through the rigorous exercise involved with the former ways of converting bitcoint to real money and vice versa. With this innovation, I'm sure even the commonest individuals in South Africa will be able to switch within their FIAT and CRYPTOCURRENCY

Dear friend, those sort of scams are everywhere and just as you suggested, i agree with everyone has got the responsibility of tighten up their games.  Lots of them scammers will appear to provide healp due to the current pandemic and virtually everyone looking up to one another but insead device a means to scam them. I think global crisis is always a good period for the bad people to make more money.  And again, people need to be less greedy and stay far away from any financial investments options that promises high return during this period

The world is evolving with each passing day and i must say it's making live better for everyone, even the handicapped. I can't help but appreciate you for sharing this post, it's one the rare post aim at making lives better as I'm sure if there has not been any actual consideration on making cryptocurrency available for the blinds before now, with this  thread you created, I'm sure some right people out there might be interested in looking for ways to make cryptocurrency accessible to them. As of now, i don't think there's any viable means for the blinds to use cryptocurrency either i think it's best if they keep using FIAT for now but I'm very optimistic this problem will also be look into

This alternative wallets you listed are great, however since you needed some wallet  to use before you fix your ledger, i'd advice you to try out ATOMIC WALLET. it's a non-custodial wallet available for every pc versions and mobile and it's totally free. Atomic Wallet is the most complete all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet in the entire market as it's Multicurrency feature supports virtually every blockchain out there i.e you can store more than 500 coins/tokens.

It has other functionalities like, the Atomic swap where you can carry out exchange of assets through decentralized atomic technology. Within atomic wallet apps,  you can also purchase major cryptocurrency using your bank card and lastly, it is incorporated with 2 instant exchange plugins ( shapeshift and changelly) for you to exchange cryptos without going to these exchanges. You should try it out

With various  scam experience people have had in the past, it baffles me how people are still being gullible enough to fall for these cheap ponzi and HYIPs. Like who the hell will offer you an ROI $1000 everyday, your first doubt should be about how they're going to keep up with such amount which is not definitely possible. Greed kills more than cancer

Going by your list, i read cryptocurrency news on this forum and cointelegraph. Cointelegraph ranks among the top news outlets that provides trusted news related to blockchain and cryptocurrency. I do enter enter coindesk sometimes too but i do follow icodrop channel on telegram for fast and swift stories

That's quite a huge amount of coin in there, and i totally agree with you about not leaving open trades because the current market is very fluctuating and not stable. Any time you spent unattending to your order put in a risk as the market can experience a downfall any moment, i hope this transaction wont affect the market

You did mention betting among the ways to multiply bitcoin? Man, betting is not the way atleast not the right one as it is a pure gambling and I'm sure you know the risk around gambling. You can loose your entire life savings within a blink of an eyes and it can go otherway round. My simple advice is you should stop looking for platforms that offers quick and huge return as all HYIP will crash oneday no matter how long it take. Just trust any source giving steady income.

To be honest now, with the current situation of the cryptocurrency market and the entire blockchain industry still striving for world adoption, i think exchange platform are the only projects that can genuinely drive in utilities for their token as people use these platforms everyday.  However, the tendency of an exchange token being successful solely depends on how prominent the exchange itself is and that's why the coins belonging to only the top exchanges are doing very well.

I agree with you,  if you've already purchased coins/tokens before the downfall, the best thing is to hold them and be patient as one thing is certain for sure, the entire cryptocurrency market will rise above this as it have experienced worse in the past coupled with the fact that not only cryptocurrency sector is undergoing downfall but virtually every investment option as the whole world itself is facing global crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic, I'm sure when this pandemic is over, we will see a more stable market

You are right, the whole downfall of the cryptocurrency market is due to lack of regulations as the concept of blockchain frowns at any form of regulations. However, this concept are being abuse on daily basis and in the bid of that, we've seen some governments authorities trying to bring regulations that will correct the cryptocurrency sector. I can say bounty hunting is going through correction too, the various methods and approaches being adopted by bounty managers now will pave way for a new generation of bounty hunting where hunters will earn decent reward as well as carry out tasks

You are very much correct, binance is not the pioneer of most of their intuitive features but the relevance, constant innovations and a strong community behind the exchange has paved a smooth path for the exchange.
I remember vividly how LATOKEN exchange stated IEO launchpad, it was their main usecase to come up with a more appealing way to enable startup project raised required fund but binance became the giant player after launching it's IEO launchpad for bittorent tokensale.  Community and trust goes a long way in this space

The current global situation requires drastic measures to tackle the pandemic coronavirus, i think any president will go to any length to see his nation survive through the epidemic. However, some of this drastic situation will have detrimental effects on most economy but i don't think it will ever be a win for cryptocurrency for as long as this global crisis and pandemic continues. The price movement of bitcoin and other altcoins for a month now validates the point that cryptocurrency can only win and flourish when the entire world is winning.

There are have been lots of hype behind uptrend lately. However, reading through the use cases and the functionality of the platform, you'll discover the hype behind it is warranted. With the latest development with steem community, i think the cryptocurrency market needs other blogging platforms where users will be rewarded awesomely for their content contribution. It's a platform every cryptocurrency user ought to have an account with

I perfectly agree with you as only a team that is not competent enough will choose the option of these scamming exchanges.  Devs who ain't financially bouyant will definitely go for cheaps exchanges without volume and liquidity. I think p2pb2b and vintax are the ones with most bad reviews of being scams. Post like this are good announcements to save everyone from such scam exchanges

It's normal to see every investment sector undergo corrections and i can confidently tell you the cryptocurrency market was well due. The early birds involved in crypto haunting are those that will be the most beneficial of it as the market will only keep getting more difficult. I think not only hunting of bounties and airdrop got a bit complicated but the whole market as even traders, investors as well as start up projects are complaining bitterly about not making enough gain. All i can wish for is for the market to experience a massive bullish run just like it did in 2017. That way, everyone even the commonest  bounty and airdrop hunters will benefit massively.

The market is experiencing a huge correction from the flooding it experience with lots of projects in 2017/2018 and as such, it has experienced a massive downtrend in even the prices of already established coin/tokens talkless of start up projects. Due to the turndown in the market, the investors left are very skeptical about the project they invest in and majority often opt in for already established ones.  I can confidently say some start up projects are genuine but the market isn't really favourable for them and at the same time, the entire cryptocurrency market is an unregulated space where scammers are mostly unknown till they exits scam.

Binance is indeed a folk hero and i seriously doubt if their IEO listing price is that much, i used to know that listing a coin on Binance was once $1 millions, then it was later reduced massively and as at then, the money do goes directly to charity and not their account. I read on their official announcement page the donation amount was increased to $5 millions https://www.binance.com/en/blog/421499824684900478/Binance-Charity-Initiates-$5-Million-Coronavirus-Relief-Campaign-with-Donation-Matching-Commitment.
It's indeed a huge amount and a great way of pushing cryptocurrency adoption. An end to the global crisis will begins a new bullish movement for the cryptocurrency market too.

From where the crypto market stands with decreasing market cap, i'd say reverse is the case. There's global crisis and people are moving their fortunes from various volatile investment options to a more secure and safer options. This is the reason why not only cryptocurrency market is failing but other investments too, the stockmarket, gold, real estate to mention few. A lot of people are on lockdown, but that's dosen't quaratee the fact they have to use cryptocurrency or other digital currencies to get their financial lives running as they can do possiblly every transaction on their bank Mobile App. Crypto is a very volatile form of currency and volatile currencies are not the best option during global crisis.
