Elwar's story makes the BBC

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47974234

A US man and his partner could face the death penalty after they were accused of building a "sea home" off Thailand.

Chad Elwartowski has gone into hiding with his girlfriend, Supranee Thepdet, after the navy said they had threatened the country's sovereignty.

Their home, which sits atop a 20m (65ft) platform, is located around 12 miles (19km) off the coast of Phuket.

But Mr Elwartowski insists it is 13 miles from the shore and therefore outside of Thailand's jurisdiction.

"The navy and its team... found a concrete tank floating on the sea but there was no-one on it," police colonel Nikorn Somsuk told AFP news agency.

He added that the navy would meet local officials "to consider what to do next". The navy said the couple had failed to seek permission from Thailand before constructing the home.

If the couple are found guilty of violating Thailand's sovereignty they could face life in prison and even the death penalty.

On December 24, 2017, the Central Bank of Bangladesh issued a cautionary notice that
cryptocurrencies are illegal in Bangladesh. According to a news report, the notice states that
“[t]ransaction [sic] with this currency may cause a violation of the existing money laundering and
terrorist financing regulations.” The notice states that bitcoin transactions “are not authorized
by the Bangladesh Bank or any regulatory agencies, and do not conform with the provisions under
the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947; Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009; and the Money
Laundering Prevention Act, 2012.” Also, according to the notice,

• nline transaction [sic] of virtual currencies with any unnamed or pseudo named parties

may cause a violation of the above-mentioned acts. . . . .[T]ransactions through online
networks involving cryptocurrency are not approved by any central payment system and
as such people can be financially harmed and may face legal consequences.
Under the circumstances, the citizens have been asked to refrain from performing,
assisting, and advertising all kind of transactions through virtual currencies like Bitcoin to
avoid financial and legal damages.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Foreign Exchange Police Department, Bangladesh
Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), and Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
(BTRC), have reportedly already held four meetings on “hunting down those
using cryptocurrencies.”

The fact that Bitcoin saw its price breaking above $5,000 at the beginning of April made everyone highly optimistic about the prospects of a full-fledged bull run. However, crypto bulls shouldn’t hold their breath since it could take decades for the number one currency to recover from its epic downfall.


Bitcoin compared to other bubbles
After comparing Bitcoin to other bubbles, UBS analyst Kevin Dennean came to a conclusion that BTC will most likely follow their lead, Business Insider reports.
However, here’s a catch – Bitcoin will have to undergo a long-lasting recovery, so it is not reasonable to expect another bull run in the nearest future. For comparison, it took the Dow Jones Industrials 22 years to reach its previous peak.   

when Bitcoin prize is going up your reward will be lower !
And when bitcoin  falling your claim reward will be higher .

HI guys, long time without detail explaination how BTC going with market.

Today I declare for all you “ WHY IT’S NOT TIME FOR BUYING “

As we have seen, that from the time when we break up Inverse H&S pattern from 40xx - 42xx we have strong pump up to now in 2 weeks ago.

Honestly, I very happy to see BTC has some reversal and correction in last several days. If we follow Inverse H&S so we must have correction from 47xx - 49xx, but we are in FOMO of market for thinking of “ New cycle “ or “ We will not have change for buying in dip again so keep buying “ or “ You wrong for selling in dip so keep buy as much as you can before new cycle “

That is reason why we going to 54xx$ in Binance. But happy that we will have correction from here as some explain in below.

Before reading so just CLIKE a LIKE BUTTON - just for second for support me - so thanks all you guys

Ok, let see about from the Left to the Right of chart. I will read about action of market for you can understand how it happen.

Did you see SL O; that is last Swing Low point from bullish , after that we have strong dump and making SL A. The level of SL A is lower SL O so, it confirm the bullish is over in middle term and become bearish .

the SL B is higher than SL A declare we have bullish in short term but when we confirm bearish in middle term so “ where we are ? “ >>> we are in pull back period of SH A - SL A.

So using Fibonacci Retrace and we see we may have correction from Fibonacci 0.618 - 0.786 ( 5208$ - 5302& )

Ok, let looking about the volume , consider the time after SH A. We have big bearish volume and after that we have bounce back but the volume is very low.

Looking at Candle 1 & 2 I have marked by Vertical Line, the volume of Bearish and Bullish candle is the same and higher than Average of 20 volume candle.
It mean the market has been manipulated with a “GAME”

We are trying going up but volume very low - that is why we shoulder not buy at this time.

So what we do ? WAIT FOR GOING UP AND SHORT ENTRY - BEST ADVICE

Candle 2 break up WMA 49 & 105 - I think is the fake signal for bullish short term

Okay, let see the last viewpoint. That is MACD line.

The price at SH A = 5424$ and the MACD at this point is 39.13

Let see, what happen if at right now, the price can not go higher 5424$ but MACD is going higher than 39.13 ( the number right now is very nearly ).
What’s up ? Did we have divergence ? That right. That is the best time for us SHORT ENTRY

Conclusion: THAT IS NOT THE TIME FOR BUYING ; WAITING FOR SHORT ENTRY WHEN MACD HAS DIVERGENCE AND IN FIBONACCI RETRACE OF 0.618 - 0.786

Sharing this analysis and LIKE any way !

LOVE ALL YOU

Why 1BTC should equal 10^8 satoshi ?

Good Morning, WO,s

They are all privileged minds, it is amazing what you find reviewing old threads.

Bit of a local pamp - $5290

The 1D MA50/ MA200 Cross (Golden Cross) is about to take place and you are still wondering how to trade it?

Well the last time that happened in July 2015 following the previous bear cycle's bottom, Bitcoin pulled back by around -35%. Then the price rebounded towards a Death Cross (1D MA200/ MA50) that made it consolidate before a new (and final) Golden Cross that pushed BTC to new highs.

The Distance between the 1st Golden Cross and the Death Cross was around 62 days and the (D) between the Death Cross and the 2nd Golden Cross 42 days.

I have tried to plot the same pattern into today's chart. The conclusion is yours!

*Bonus the Ichimoku Cloud which plots a path ahead of the Crosses!

Lower.....lower......low.....low.....lowest ..... we are getting there

According To Pattern, Bitcoin Might Have Bottomed

Take a look at the two images below. On the right is an excerpt from the “Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns” by Thomas Bulkowski, which shows something called a “bump-and-run reversal bottom,” or BARR bottom for short. On the left is Bitcoin (BTC)’s one-week chart stretching from last August to now. Notice anything?

Well, if you couldn’t tell, the pattern depicted on the right, which shows a series of higher lows, a massive sell-off on the back of monumental selling pressure, a zone of accumulation, an eventual bullish breakout past a declining trend line, and a subsequent rally is looking much like Bitcoin right now. In fact, save for a few discrepancies in the accumulation zone and the time span, the charts are effectively identical.

The two charts are so similar that the analyst who discovered this correlation wrote: “this means that bears are f**ked.” Biddles, as the trader is known, is referring to the fact that if the textbook-esque BARR bottom plays out for Bitcoin, BTC could return to $5,000 next week before entering an “uphill run” — a move that would catapult crypto assets back into a bull rally.

In subsequent tweets, Biddles continued to cite charts from Bulkowski’s technical analysis bible to explain that by many measures, BTC might be on the verge of a rally. He explained that Bitcoin’s one-day chart is currently exemplifying signs that BTC is trapped in an ascending triangle, which is a bullish pattern marked by higher highs, an overarching resistance, and slow price action. With volume declining, an act that is bullish per Bulkowski, Biddles confirmed that if Bitcoin closes above $5,320, BTC could be in for a rally to a higher region.

I see this  as the prequel of what we are going to witness in the next years for hodling and supporting bitcoin.

Thai government lost its mind completely when they realized they can lose their wage slaves. If their slaves start a riot and leave the county they are fucked. They know it so they wanted to make an example of those poor guys.

This will happen to bitcoin too.

As much as I like the idea of bitcoin, a war between us and actual governments will fuck us up. So... don't hodl more than you could afford to lose I guess. I am already down deep very much. I am a bit scared to be honest.

 Yep.

By CCN: Add Jesse Powell to the chorus of crypto exchange CEOS who are done with Craig Wright’s games. San Francisco-based crypto exchange Kraken has announced that it will be delisting Bitcoin SV (BSV), following in the trend-setting footsteps of Binance and later ShapeShift.

Kraken has been engaging with its community about it ever since Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao got the ball rolling earlier in the week. In an online poll, nearly three-quarters of Kraken’s followers voted in favor of delisting Bitcoin SV while more than one-fifth of tens of thousands of voters said they didn’t care. Kraken responded, revealing that the last day for trading Bitcoin SV would be May 1 while withdrawals will continue until May 15.

“The people have spoken. Kraken is delisting Bitcoin SV.”
