I think there is a reason why they can't sell it on one big blow and that's why they're doing it in batches. But whether they continue these sell batches, the institutions are always prepared to catch them all.

As many have said in the first page, the amount might affect a bit but it's not that big to affect entirely.

Not sure with that but with interrogations and confiscation, it's likely that they've taken it after the criminals have been caught. But if it's about hackers, they are multiplying as well and the breeding of them never stops.

I think there is a condition that they're following as protocol, well this is just my wild guess that they can't sell it all at once because if they can then surely they've done it already. But I agree that they've done auctions before so why not do the same as with this batch.

Yeah, as said by someone here. They've sold before and that's not even in the bull run, so, they'll just do what they have to do if it should be dumped at any rate and time that they can. But as also mentioned and questioned by many here, why they can't sell it in one major sell so, there's something that stops them. And if there's a certain purpose to move markets with such news, we're in a bull run and any negative news is going to affect it but it's not that hurting that much anymore.

Well, whichever is the method of them for disposing these seized Bitcoins or even with other stuff like paintings, the US government is always on a win with this. They actually don't have to find buyers as there will always be interested people and party willing to purchase all of those and the same goes with the auction.

You're right and just as what the others have said not impacting the market a lot but with people's fear and sentiment, this kind of sell off do affect much with the help of the media.

Good question but Coinbase can't do that if you're the government. There's a blessing from the federal government and anything they wanna do will surely have a permission so, possible that the name goes with the KYC as "FED" and Coinbase can't question that whether those coins are tainted because they're seized. They're a registered business and trademark so they're just under the powers of the government and will obey what they wanna do with them.

If you have the means to avoid them, it's best not to take any. But if you're in a situation that you're in dire need of having extra money but you don't have then all you have to do is to take it and use that for those important matters and expenditures that you have to do. For expansion matters, this is done by most businessmen and they're using debt money to increase their cash flow while they're going to get their payments from their future profits. They can do this easily because they've established their business and good or bad seasons, they've got cashflow to pay for it. And for an individual that don't have good cashflow, it's not advisable to do this.

While we're approaching the bull run, many are still misinformed about what halving is all about. I've seen people on social media explaining that halving is going to cut the supply of Bitcoin which is totally wrong. The supply is fixed to 21M but the reward for miners will be cut into half.

It happens after the halving since it's just a one-time event every 4 years cycle. As it works like an after-shock for the price of Bitcoin. While it's true that other factors are there like the Bitcoin spot etf approvals and the volume that it gets but the main thing every bull run certainly is the halving.

Visit to freelancing websites like upwork or fiverr. You'd see virtual assistants there that can get paid for as low as $3 per hour and those tasks are just easy for them like data entry and research. But you have to upskill but these kinds of tasks can be obsolete someday with AI and that's why the rates for skilled VAs can be higher than that. Some task may like be social media postings or replying to the customers comments on a company's social pages. Too many to look at but certainly find one that are under your niche and skill.

Despite that you've covered your face, I'd advise you to remove this picture and edit that post of yours.

When I've said that I am hoping that it gets resolved soon. Well, that hope has changed already and lost a bit of it if he can't provide the requirements of other IDs for his KYC. But I am still in the hope that he can get his other IDs to provide to the support but giving reviews to the casino when the problem is that you can't provide what they're asking isn't going to solve that either.

Honestly, many might not be impressed with that if it took 5 days. But even with that, as long as the problem has been solved, that's what matters because with some other casinos it is even taking a month and several months while the case is still active on them. So, having that solved in a few days is still a good one.

I hope that it gets resolved soon as long as they've seen your ticket and said that they're going to solve it, they will. Just as the other quote that I've got that solved it on the fifth day but as I am saying, hoping that it will be taken care of shortly.

It turns out that the website directs the visitors to:


But the website doesn't have anything already so probably they're already busted and the devs removed all of the contents. What a trick by these cons by adding "-" hyphen dash to their website and removing the word "sale" from the original one. It's kind of tricky but these what these scammers does. Thanks OP for catching these thieves.

Whichever exchanges are the contender and able to replace them on their sweet #1 spot is due to the issues and cracking down that has been done against them. There's goes the settlement that they did with the US SEC government and that have affected their volume and the same goes for countries like Canada where they've withdrawn that market and the same goes for other countries with the most recent with Nigeria and Philippines.

Halving, approved Bitcoin ETFs and the effect of halving which is close coming by which is the familiarity when bull run is coming. Well, you're partly correct with that about the trending token listings but they won't get that much hype when there's no halving for BTC as it signals the upcoming bull run and you always get to see this when we're approaching there. More new projects, more hypes and listings and new cash flows coming in.

Because they probably can't, just as the institutions can't sell them all at once is because not all of these exchanges have plain cash ready and they're just like middlemen of most traders and investors globally. But possible, they're going to do the next batches when BTC hits $100k or more.

Right, they can't hide these activities as it will look questionable and all of these sell offs were done publicly and sure that in the future when they do the next batches, they'd do a report and might take the media on a next level to do some manipulations that will be not only in their favor but with the other big players.

It's possible that there could some ruling that they have to follow and standard procedure if the btc's are seized as they can't just sell it on an institution directly and that's why there were auctions. But yeah, why didn't they do an auction for this one or they've just chosen the quicker path and quick cash going onto their hands.

That makes sense but who knows if the feds or whoever is on the higher ups of his/her position there understands truly the concept of Bitcoin as a volatile asset and a store of value and that's affecting their decision as consensus when and whether to sell or not.

As much as they can hold vast of it, they can also hold it on their own with their trust and confidence but this is all big money that was seized and value keeps on increasing from the time they've seized it but possibly, they just choose not to hold them anymore and let Coinbase do all the job for keeping them as they've sold it to them, preparing for the bull I guess.

I didn't know that, that they've mentioned it that they're going to sell it but if they've announced it. Some probably have taken that advantage as a signal upon selling it to Coinbase on exact date that they've announced it. So this kind of disposal that the feds are doing are plainly just for disposal but I doubt it that they're not doing it for profits. Because whether they sell now or earlier, they're still in profit as the btc's seized were just freely taken by them.

Start with Electrum and you're already fine. And the next thing that you'll do is on how to keep your seeds safe and remember that you don't give it to anyone and even your relatives. Only you should those seeds because that will serve as your password for your bank account(wallet) just for the sake of easier understanding and logic. Well, I remember that when I've asked the teller on the bank if she knew about Bitcoin but then they're not too approachable at all. They just take your slip and dispense your money and all good. LOL

This is what is on my mind, despite with all of the possibilities that Bitcoin might hit $1M at any moment due to its nature and volatility, it will take time for it to reach $1M. A safe prediction that many are telling is around a century more for it to happen. But with how quick the phasing is with the adoption and more institutional money coming in, maybe it might be less but we don't know how long and what exactly is the year when it could happen.

You just contradicted what you've said.

Certainly a malware, it's been there since years and many have been victimized by it already. Those that don't check many times when they're about to send their transactions, they're the targets of this malware. Also, I've seen some situation wherein the copied address from your own wallet has some identical first and last characters of the hacker, I'm not sure how it goes but always check your entire bitcoin address from start, to mid and last characters of it. It will take you a minute but that minute will save you from trouble.

I have never heard of it and that's why when I've seen it, I have to search for it and I thought OP just mistyped but it's a real wallet. But with wallets that I haven't used, I can't speak for it as I have no experience yet with it. Looking at their sub-reddit, they don't have that much followers but just around 200+ and then not too active at all so, it's better to choose the others.

Not to say that much but most apps collect information nowadays as long as the service is free, we are the product of the apps and software that they develop.

It should start from us on how to avoid them. We can't be naive and then become a victim and then blame others for our mistakes and unfortunate situations that happen to us. Just like the real world, there are many scammers and we have to be careful of them and don't go on their way but instead, avoiding them so that you won't cross your paths and that's the reason why we're also doing the same in the crypto market so you won't cross paths with them.

Scammers are everywhere and in every season, bear market or bull run they'll never absent from it because there's always an opportunity for them to scam people and victims are coming all over this marketplace no matter what the situation is. While they know the demand is on an increasing trend on this market, they do know that many uninformed newbies are coming in and those are the people that they're targeting to scam and that's why awareness and being knowledgeable is the key and getting familiarized with their scam techniques will help in avoiding them.

The website won't allow me to access as my browser says that it is a suspicious one. That's why I wouldn't get into it and can't check out your freelancing website. I've seen a lot of it in the past that have been the marketplace for freelancers that pays in Bitcoin and they're also active right now. If you've got that offer of 0.0001 for every sign up and after completing some tasks, you should monitor on that side because many might abuse that giveaway you're giving. It may not be a lot but it can truly happen. But before that, fix your website first as said by Og about your SSL certificate.

I am not familiar with math wallet but do people really use it? It is the first time that I have read someone mentioned and suggested about them. If someone cannot afford an hardware wallet which also supports a lot of bep20 tokens not just the nano wallet and probably you're suggesting the latest of it which is the nano ledger s+, metamask is already enough. You get the wallet for erc20, bsc and even the other networks that are also available on it.

The name of website is already suspicious and that instruction given to you was an obvious scam. You have to remember that scammers will play out with your emotion and that's why you need to be careful with it. You've already felt it but then you should you have researched in the first place.

Sorry to hear your experience but this isn't only happening in crypto. Even in real life with the banks, financing and almost every sector that has got money involved it happens. You can still invest in crypto but this time, only buy with known exchanges and start and stay with buying Bitcoin.

Those that have became rich with Bitcoin are just too quiet and they don't want to get exposure from the public because they're aware of how this world is dangerous nowadays. While it looks cool and all when you're posting the signs that you're a fan or a real holder and investor, I don't think that's real flex nowadays. What I think with many of them are for real, there are the others that are just riding the hype of this bull run and just got in and became enthusiastic because of the season. But wait for them as they go through the bear market, many of those plates will change into their normal ones when they're done or when they can no longer stay on the market because it'll show some slow move and more corrections.

Well, as the attitude of Bitcoin with these news. The drop is there yes, but it always recover fast and we're approaching halving so the dump is possible but I won't be surprised if the recovery is quick.

It's always the news that sends the market down but then, the whales are ready to catch those sold Bitcoins. But if they sell that, there is a possibility that some of these whales might ask them to reserve it for them, who knows.

You're right, compared to the daily volume it's not that a lot. But news like this could affect the market temporarily maybe just a few hours and moves mostly the retailers but then it will be back again healthier.

I agree, it could just affect the market like a flash crash but then everyone is just waiting for some opportunity to buy and majority probably have their buy orders.

Possible, Coinbase is registered in the US and they can't just go away with the Bitcoins that has been deposited on them by the FED. But what can we think of when they've done this action? most of us have the same thought that they wouldn't do that for nothing and just want Coinbase to keep it. I haven't read about those two fed agents that have ranaway with their funds before.

It's legal since they're the government and actions done by them has been coordinate with their higher ups or any agencies that are connected to them.

You're right, they didn't sold it at once so I guess they're also having that problem that every holder is problematic with and that's about selling in batches because we have no choice as the exchanges will question us. But this is not a problem to them, there is a tendency that they're doing it in batches so not to get as much attention that it will be but if that's the reason, they're not good in hiding as they've been already found out doing this massive tx.

They can't stop it whether they feel threatened about Bitcoin. The biggest financial institutions are already in, I'm thinking if they've offered this to them or how and why they've resorted into selling and depositing it on Coinbase. Maybe, there's a legal basis on this process.

Possibly that this is what the speculations are telling that I've read all about, before the halving there will be some corrections that shall come. It might not be a massive dump but a healthy correction and this can be one of the factor and contributor of it.

We can think of the other things that are on their possession like the expensive paintings, etc. Those that have been confiscated due to illegal activities, money laundering and many others. This is just a part of it, I can't imagine how vast the amount of money they're holding. But true, it's classic and legal if it's them.

I agree, there's still an impact but based on how the market works nowadays. It's likely that less than 24 hours the impact is there but not surprising that it will get back rapidly.
