You should be able to see your profile url and ID by clicking profile, you will be redirected to your profile page then click show last posts of this person. In that url, the numbers after the u= is your ID and your profile link is from the start of the url up to the numbers after the u=. In my case, it redirects into this url when I clicked show last posts of this person: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=998363;sa=showPosts and to get my profile url, all I need to do is to omit ";sa=showPosts" to get my profile url. In my case, my bitcointalk user ID is 998363.

You don't need to prove anything, leave it up to investigators in charge of Upbit's case.
They probably haven't tried stealing customer funds nor market manipulation, it's just that I think they are taking the matter personally. They might have been alarmed to large volumes of crypto trading and many profits made by crypto users from it. the statement that made me think that they are really acting based on the subjective opinion of their government official is this:

This probably is a credible news because when you search at google and go to the news section, there are several sources stating it. Nevertheless, I don't trust them, and there is a chance that they are fabricated with the hope of generating FOMO.
They aren't credible enough IMO. Australia should have a formal announcement about this in order for it to be reliable.
They probably won't because they can create a crypto of their own, one that is centralized, traceable and deprives users of their privacy(which might function like paypal but will use blockchain tech to process transaction). In order to do that, they need to study it first(which will be the reason why they might not ban it).

You already have your answer if it is USDT but if it is real USD one easy way to do it is to buy btc using the USD, and transfer the Bitcoin you bought to another exchange easily. If you are moving USD between exchanges that have doge deposits enabled and if the exchanges where the USD will come from and will be sent to have USD/DOGE pair, buy doge instead of btc to save money from fees(it can also be other coins, choose what's convenient for you).

These hikes affects the share markets because there eis a relationship between crude oil and some of the shares(specifically shares of companies that deals with crude oil). In cryptocurrency, I think it will not have much of an effect since there is only one crypto related to oil, and that is only petro(which probably is the only one that will be affected). The others will remain as is.

I advice that you follow what others say here since mining using browser is not profitable at all. It would be more profitable if you will mine using a virtual private server using vps providers like vultr and digital ocean rather than mining with your browser(since you won't consume electricity here).. The downside though is that you will only earn few money, not enough to pay for your droplet (unless you are in a trial period but you will only waste your time earning 3-7$ per month).

The news linked by OP seems like a legitimate one because I found another reliable source from cointelegraph stating the same news. If ripple loses it's appeal in New York, they would be dead for sure because they must cease operation in accordance to the lawsuit. I wonder though, will ripple become a decentralized coins if that happens? Or will it stay to be the same old centralized coin it used to be continuing it's operation?

I still would not use that platform even if decentralized because lending in a decentralized way might have many flaws and loopholes that might end up in not getting interest from my coins at all. IMO, lending should still be done the way it is now. It does not need improvements from decentralization because I see many advantages of decentralized lending(since no one in authority can take action whenever someone didn't pay a loan from it).

You are right but they can try to stop miners from running nodes. They can do so by banning mining all over the world, but they cannot completely stop mining operations since they can opt to mine bitcoins covertly, hiding from the government(but that will basically be rule breaking if they do ban mining all over the world). For now, I think it is less likely because not all governing authorities of every country see bitcoin as bad, some of them see benefits in legalizing it.

It turns out that there are more disadvantages than advantages when using an ICO pools, thus it would be better to not use one at all since the risk involved is greater when compared to you selecting the ICO you want to invest into yourself. It turns out that ICO pools are not a big help at all(when they are already prominent). Either way, thanks for the article you wrote it was very informative.

The inforgraphic picture is nice but I think installing a virtual wallet isn't necessarily the first step. I think it should only be "create a bitcoin wallet" because a web wallet is more newbie friendly than those virtual wallets that can be installed(and there are more types of bitcoin wallet).
I think their case needs further discussion in meta so that others(who are expert in busting merit abusers) can also help in the investigation.

You are right in about the "killing the crypto" part but it ain't scaring new investors. In fact, a lot of traders have been attracted into bitcoin and crypto because of it's volatility. Some long term hodlers likes how bitcoin can be so bullish and give them a hefty profit in span of a year or two(which is shorter long term hold when compared to how stock holders hodl their shares).

Oh really? I think Bitcoin cash wouldn't overtake bitcoin in prices this year, it is merely a copycat after all. I think them mining both is done just for having diversity in their investments, and doesn't mean that they see potential for Bitcoin cash to overtake btc.
At first glance I think this was good news for cryptocurrency but am I reading this right? Are they planning to launch their own Ponzi scheme in August?(since I consider all cloud mining services as ponzi scheme). If they are, they'd better stick to mining for themselves, cloud mining will only run their reputation for sure.

Nevertheless, gold will always have a value and it won't be volatile, and calling gold=money will still be logical even if cryptocurrencies become mainstream in the future because him calling it money doesn't necessarily mean that a thing must be used as a medium of exchange, because that is what you call currency. Money is also tantamount to wealth and gold will always be a safe haven of it.

You are better of buying a ledger nano S if you are holding a lot of altcoins(worth 1000$ above). If not, I recommend you scatter your coins into well known exchanges today if you really want to hold your coins in an exchange(and if you hold many varieties of altcoins atm). If you are holding only a few altcoins, I recommend you follow vv181's suggestion.

Are you referring to this article? If this is the article that you have read, I think it ain't credible enough for you to believe it. If those two fights though I think ETH will win because it has more real world use cases whereas Bitcoin cash is merely used as a speculative tool. It will remain as a shitcoin so long as bch doesn't have real world use cases.

That amount of btc can pretty much cause a best market if FUD got spreaded wide after that amount of btc has been sold. Somehow, it is quite scary for Mt. Gox address to send out btc. Probably the one who received it might have had strong connection to the trustee. Whoever he/she is, it would not be good if the one who receive those btc are someone who will likely dump soon.

Among the coins in the choices, I think vechain is the one who will benefit the most from the concensus that will happen because according  to this site vechain is one of the sponsor of the summit, including qtum, ripple, and stream who likely have put a lot of money into this even for them to be mentioned as sponsors together with Microsoft and IBM.

It really is very interesting to see a different real world use cases for crypto but in this case, I think they are using their own crypto to pay since the article on the OP stated that:
After this, I think we are going to see more companies using blockchain technology in the future but I wonder though, will bitcoin still be the crypto king 10 years from now if many cryptos by that time exists?
