Perhaps we all are casualties in this whole FTX issues. Everyone can feel the ripple effect. The entire market can testify to that. We've seen how even Bitcoin and the rest have reacted negatively with dips. Again, those who also have funds in exchanges that heavily depend on FTX for their transactions will also be dealt another blow in days to come. My advice is that those who are should quickly move their funds to a safe place immediately. Since FTX is bankrupted, it's likely those dependent exchanges on it will declare bankruptcy and then hastily disable withdrawals. This is really a trying moment for the crypto industry.

Greed is human nature. It's in every man and  can either be displayed conceitedly or consciously. Those who control their level of greed do so with a conscious effort so as not to hurt others. It's the same way the need to do good spurs godly people that the urge to do evil moves the ungodly. Most people (virtually all) are In cryptos for the Benjamins. It doesn't matter if they openly admit it or not. That's what the mindset is about. Crypto Devs have come to realize that since the nature of cryptos is often online and could be created from thin air, there aren't likely to be office addresses or contacts anyone could trace them to in case they misfire. So, invariably they think they can mess up with investors funds and get away with that. That's what fuels their greed.

Mindful or not, it's a standard procedure to get an escrow involved while transacting with anyone online. Don't do blind trust even if the user is a legendary ranked fellow. Always play safe, except where the said user is someone you're used to outside this forum or who has proven track record here. Don't just trust, verify first.

There's no gainsaying that it won't be big then. 2024 is Bitcoin's halving year and history has shown that every halving year is a progressive one for Bitcoin, and by extension the entire crypto industry. 2016 and. 2020 made Bitcoin soar in price and as such I don't see that of 2024 being any different. Yes, it's good to get set now ahead of time for investment opportunities that will abound in 2024.

Let me start with your last question – I use Binance. It's my major exchange. Then back to your first question – I won't trust any exchange that says it doesn't make KYC compulsory at a time like this when we know how SEC has been breathing down on their necks to move towards knowing their customers as a way of discouraging money laundering. Recall that when Binance started in 2017, it was free registration without a KYC until recently when it started restricting accounts without KYCs from not just withdrawing but from trading at all. In fact, Binance started with trading without commission charged on trades. That was exceptional then. It got many traders running to that exchange. Today, there are numerous charges that one can't even tell what and what the charges are for.

😆 That's the thing with the internet. We mustn't talk for the sake of talking when we don't mean it. Our words have a way of harmfully locating us after we've harmlessly made them.

Well, on the part of OP's suggestion. Yes, one mustn't always be in the market to be profitable. One or two winning trades weekly are more than enough to keep one going as profitable as it can be. Just pick your trades and choose entries for maximum profits.

You're simply setting yourself up to be scammed. There's no HYIP without its attendant consequences and eventually it ends in Ponzi. You shouldn't believe anyone who promises you a shortcut to riches for there's nothing of that nature in reality. Any investment that promises to make you a certain percentage on Return on Investment (ROI) is an obvious Ponzi because in business it's the forces of demand and supply that determine the ROI and not a single individual. Steer clear of Ponzi. You will end up hurting yourself.

I think the request you're making is a needless one. Merit sources (MS) should ordinarily find fulfilment in what they voluntarily do. You don't know what it feels like having the ability to bestow merit on posts you come across and think they're merit worthy. I feel bad whenever I'm not able to award merit on posts I think deserve it. So, to some extent, I think MS are already in a good place and their jobs aren't even that cumbersome when compared to those who fight spam or link accounts to one another as a way of sanitising the whole process.

Frankly speaking, and responding to the topic, there wouldn't have been anything wrong still. Man would be carrying out his functions like it's normal. You can't miss what you do not know exists. Without the advent of Bitcoin, life would still carry on. Before Bitcoin, there was life and after it, there will still be life.

There's no doubt that there are veteran accounts who don't have a staked address yet here. I don't want to believe it's because they don't know how to sign a message from a wallet. I want to believe it's negligence on their part and it's because they think it's not necessary. Again, I don't think there's anything here that's being made compulsory for any member. You can decide to do something or stay away from it. This forum is as decentralised as it can be. Members are allowed to do what they think is best for them provided their actions don't negate the rules and regulations of this forum. Making staking of wallet addresses compulsory most likely will send out a negative signal and suspicion.

Na on Wednesday morning I go reward d person wey go get d analysis with 2 buckets of colele wata from my fridge. Make una keep d comments coming. One luv my people.

Honestly, Lauda was an enigma (and dramatic if I must add 🙄 though). The user's account was self destroyed in 2020, yet till date it has more posts than most active members here. Somehow, I still miss them not being present here, on that account.

In my opinion, that thread should be one thread every member who has crossed the newbie status should take seriously. People shouldn't wait until their account is hacked before they do the needful of simply staking their BTC address there. OP should find a way to sign a message from either of the two accounts user rat03gopoh linked their hacked account and that should be able to solve his hack issue.

That was what I thought too. I hope that AAX (take note of the X too 🤔) isn't affiliated to SBF's business. This whole Luna and FTX crashes have made the market vulnerable at this time. A November that I've speculated to rally up is now digging for the southern pole. It's even looking safer to short Bitcoin than to long it now.

It's a shame to really let "once" a good app like that go. I checked mine as soon as I made that post to see what's gwan with the app. It didn't load and I let it be. Now that I read your post I had to force myself to reality and then delete it. As for the allegation of FTX assessing customers funds linked with their bank accounts, that will really be the height of criminality.

You meant physically challenged? I think that's the universal word for those who are impared  bodily in one way or the other.

I guess you're asking for ways to earn passively. Staking or farming offers that. However, there are risks too associated with either staking or farming. Otherwise, there isn't any trading strategy that can guarantee you that range on daily basis.

Wrong move! You've just indirectly invited scammers in the form of sales reps to yourself. They're going to PM you to invest in whatever pseudo programmes they've just to scam you. You've to be extremely careful here.

You're trying to give Sam and his men benefit of the doubt, so they can sincerely explain their involvement in the ongoing crisis speedily. Going forward on that perspective you gave, I also believe that most projects that end up as scam may not genuinely have been set up to scam people but for the unfortunate incidence that most of them end up not achieving what's on the blueprint and thereafter abandon it.

I've the FTX tracking app I use to keep my portfolio in check. I hope the alleged malware doesn't affect it, anyway. In all honesty, I was sympathetic to SBF when the news first broke that his exchange was having financial crisis but with what's emanating now I'm beginning to think that dude is a criminal. If truly there's a hack, he's more likely the arrowhead. To even think he was reported to have used investors funds for stocks which crashed and led to his exposure, and now this hack. Dude is not clean whichever way we want to look at it.

How come we didn't hear cries about them being scams before their crashes? People are quick to say, "I told you when things get fucked up" even when they didn't know a thing about the situation and quick to claim sagacity when it goes down well.

If we're going to be factual on that, I will tell you that advice will only suit investors not traders.

But of course, that's the honest truth. However, most people have that mindset that it's their main reason of being in this game. They want it quick and short, forgetting that there's no shortcut to success.

😆 Yeah, I remember that era. How that fizzled out quietly too like other trends before it. This too will sooner than later become "old school". Whoever thought ICO or IEO will be a thing that doesn't entice investors anymore? Sadly, that's what's happening now.

That cap is nice looking (on soft copy). I won't mind wearing one of such with a nice t-shirt and a pair of jeans to match offline. Hoping that it looks as good as it's looking here on real cap.
