A Story i saw on the net got me thinking when Cryptocurrency becomes well known worldwide and its generally accepted, can transactions be traced or tracked A South African teenager was found Thursday four days after he was kidnapped by a gang who demanded a ransom in bitcoin cryptocurrency worth about $123,000 (105,000 euros), police said.
Police declined to say if any ransom had been paid after the 13-year-old boy was taken in the eastern province of Mpumalanga while playing near his home and driven away in a car.
Local media published a ransom note left at the scene demanding 15 bitcoins and giving an address for a bitcoin “wallet” — an internet location where the virtual currency can be stashed.... Etc you get the point.
If the bitcoin will be registered on the exchange site and it will be so easy to be traced by the way. But i remember the bitcoin is psudonymous but it's a bit difficult to trace. It looks like the a gang was giving their personal address and it can be traced so easily.

bear market makes me have to analyze well altcoin growth, because I do not want to be wrong when choosing altcoin as my investment.
would you give me some advice, which altcoin is good to be an investment place when the market is bearish?
You can try to invest in the altcoins whivch give you strong development progress just like open, zil, ont, many more. You should choose the altcoin which have a different way than bitcoin. I meant when bitcoin gets bearish and its altcoin will be getting a bullish trend as fast as possible.

I doubt that bitcoin private can be $500, I have a number in my mind and I think $100 is too much for them for now. Maybe when bitcoin will be worth 500 000 than bitcoin private can be $500 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) This will never be happened, the only good thing from bitcoin price because it's use the zclassic technology that being combined with bitcoin. This will be the same with another bitcoin fork coin. But i believe the bitcoin cash will always become the expensive bitcoin fork coin compared with all of the coin.

I think personally HITBTC is a good exchange place from the beginning I know the world of cryptocurency and coincidentally I can coin the result of bounty and coins it was already signed in hitbtc I finally made my first exchange account is hitbtc and until now I have never experienced any constraints .
If you are so lucky with it and then you will not get any problem with hitbtc but if you were so unlucky and then you will get a lot of problem with it. As far as i know about hitbtc was charging a lot of fees to the users and this is really annoying in my opinion. but we know that hitbtc is a former of number 1 exchange site in the world.

That's FUD to the bitcoin It might be possible to scan bitcoin private keys sitting on the network due to a vulnerability in the way bitcoin was #designed since there is nothing really safeguarding the internal framework of the bitcoin wallet either in classic, core or #other variants. Even by encrypting your wallet nothing prevents the importation of a private key by changing a configuration #flag in any wallet whether it is classic, core or a variant. I have attempted to test a basic attack vector using a password #generation program based on JTR and crunch ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/crunch-wordlist/) to generate a range of base 58 #values based on bitcoin private keys and under further modification it is possible to continue to customize this form of #private key deep scan and execute it as a basic attack vector. The banking system should be notified not to get on-board with #the Bitcoin network,If what was saying by this guy is true and i can argue if he can generate the privatekey through modify use password generation. It's basically use sha 256 and in knowledge that's not possible to gain the privatekey through use the generator password. This just like a joke

Crypto investor has said that could go up following some good cases. Do you agree with the news. I think it would happen in coming days.
Lol is this a joke? at least, can you try to mention the use case news of bitcoin cash? It will be the same and nothing changed. I don't agree with it. There is a lot of better option compared with bitcoin cash. Why do they accept bitcoin cash instead to accept real bitcoin with same txfees? That doesn't make sense.

With the world embracig the advancements of blockchain technology; are you in favor of including blockchain technology as an educational subject into our schools? What are the benefits that you think will result if we do such action?
That gives the more knowledge to the student about the vision of the blockchain system, sone university has already putted blockchain education as a part of the study. if you can see how the era is always moving time to the time. More creative ideas and blockchain developer will born from there.

On current market situation we can see that btc on down trend. But if you compare other alt coin with Bitcoin, then you can see that alt coin are not much down trend. I think alt coin are waiting for Bitcoin movement. If Bitcoin not recover within next week, then alt coin will start follow Bitcoin. In my opinion if Bitcoin become below 7K then alt coin will follow Bitcoin on down trends. I think Bitcoin will not become less then 7K in this bearish trends. What you think ?
The majority of them are following bitcoin right now but it looks like there are some against the bitcoin movement. This time a little jump has already happened and you can see that how the market has been giving a little reaction about that. There some are getting good recovery. at the bearish trend they are all will be following bitcoin again.

hi everyone, i have a few amount of BTC in my wallet and i'm interesting to buy an exchange coin or exchange token can you suggest me the best exchange coin to invest right now ? of course that can give me a huge profit and benefit for long term hold ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) i start thinking about BNB, BIX and BCO Thank you Binance looks a good choice consider the team is regularly running buy back and burn method and this will increase the price of the token. But kucoin shares, bibox token gives you pasive income through claim your reward if you are holding them all. But i suggest you to choose the token which has widely adoption just like bnb.

We are still in the bear market I believe. But what I see and observe is that some traders are taking advantage of the market dip which makes them profitable also. I guess bear mode is important because the market needs to go through a cycle and bear cannot be avoided.
As long as it's not caused by the bad news and it will be fine at all and bear market can be considered as another opportunity to buy cheap coin and then sell them all when they are all getting another bounce in the future. But the bear market that has created caused by bad news is really bad to the crypto.

Don't be going about investing ICO that you have not researched into. That is a sure fire way for you to end up losing your money to scammers. ICO listing sites only list ICO projects that are ongoing and any one you end up picking is at your own discretion and risk and if you go about investing in them without doing research then that is your fault and not in any way the fault of the ICO listing site
The main problem is the majority of bad ico listing sites were putting fake rate to the scam icos. they are getting paid by listing shit ico scam to their sites and this is untorelable. So many people are getting fooled by them all caused by they are beliving about the rate that has been giving by the icolisting site itself.

When I entered in crypto last year, zcash was the 2nd largest currency in terms of USD valuation. Why there is no such growth in zcash.
How zcash is unique then other currencies in the market?
Zcash is so unique as you said. zcash only offers the possibility to make our transaction becomes anonymous through use zk snark system and zkstart still in the development and no more. The majority of people in these days are looking for the utility usage from the token itself just like you can earh annual return or bonus from your token.

I would prefer IDEX over all of them. IDEX provides a good range of advantages to its customer and it works very fast. It has a good maintenance and its quite easy to use.
The best thing from IDEX compared with the majority of DEX is idex was offering something really similar with centralized exchange site. That makes everyone will be so easy to use it and there is no manipulated in the buy order. This is really different with fork because you can buy any coin and any price.

How exciting is this news?
I'm not feel surprised to see bitcoin will be accepted again by reddit. But the only thing that makes me a surprise because he said that "not just bitcoin either" and this will be bringing a lot of the hype for those coins will be added as a part of the reddit payment system. This is really good.

Former head of J.P. Morgan's blockchain arm is no longer on Wall Street. But the former insider says major banks like her former employer could get into the cryptocurrency business imminently.
"I think it's coming sooner than people probably think," Amber Baldet, Former head of J.P. Morgan's blockchain arm told CNBC's "Power Lunch" Friday. "But even where the will is, the legal and regulatory framework is challenging."
I think it will be great if this happen so. Share your thought of possibility.
It looks like this is still a speculation and the time will tell us about that. Consider from a lot of news about the banks are banning crypto and it's a big no for me. But just curious what will be happening in the future consider NASDAQ is working on the cryptocurrency trading platform. More companies just come

yes, I think etherium is the best blockchain protocol, because etherium is a digital currency that is widely used by cryptos in exchange of tokens / coins to their country's currency, and also etherium is often a partner of new tokens based on ERC20 and others . etherium has a very strong foundation and reliable blockchain protocol.
There are many bugs in ETH whether you like it or not that is the fact, we have seen many hacks in the past because of that and so is the reason we have ETC now. Another thing is that it is not even a currency, it is used to distribute tokens for projects and that is the only use for ETH. As a hero member and you didn't evem watch the dao carefully. 1 the mistake has made by the dao team, to recover its lost and ethereum forked its blockchain and there was no something wrong with ethereum and bug. Stop to spread bullshit about that. 2 the majority of hacked case in ethereum have happened with 3rd party software or service and it's not ethereum. What a shame for you.

Can we just leave the SHL airdrop on Kucoin now? Kucoin announced SHL must be off Kucoin to MEW or off-line wallets and now they listed SHL which is so confused...any idea??
If they are listed SHL and that mean you can send your SHL to the kucoin to sell them all. You could try to send a little amount and then just try to make an experiment and does your amount can be sold on the kucoin exchange site? It may become the best thing for you to try.

hi all, i have a cashaa coin, do any of you also have it? what is your prediction about cashaa, is it good if I keep it?
It looks good for you to keep your cashaa because if you bought them through the ico and then you are getting almost 80% lost for your amount. This coin doesn't seem a good project. I wanna try to move to another promising coin if i can but this looks different with you if you are still trapped at the bottom.

I did an analysis of 370 ICOs in the past and clustered them into categories. Looking at the rates of return of the analyzed ICOs and dividing them into different segments, categories advantageous from the investors perspective can be identified. Analyzed are the percental value gains and losses in USD, Bitcoin and Ether at the deadline compared to the issuing prices. https://cryptogo.de/en/which-ico-category-offers-the-highest-profits/Feedback is always welcomed This can't be determined but in fact the ico which have offered a new innovation will give you a lot of profit. Just like CS, Zil, Onto and many more. They are working on something different with the majority of existing icos which only tried to improve the existing protocol, a unique idea should deserve a special value.

What do you say about Ripple? Should I invest?
You should not, as a centralized currency and that's not so good as a crypto. Ripple team is only focusing on the how many profit they can get from their business. This is a banker platform. I won't meantion any evidence but you can try to read all of the news related to the ripple. Try to invest in another just lik ethereum will much better.
