I doubt it is going to recover or go any higher as long as the lawsuit is hanging around. Though I am not sure what's currently going on with SEC and Ripple (i don't follow ripple), all I know is, they are either going to get fucked and if that happens, the price is going to dump further to almost nothing or your coins might get frozen (I am not sure about this, but I have heard XRP is centralized, and if that is the case, your coins can be frozen).
But there are others will to take the risk. They are hoping the price is going to skyrocket after Ripple wins the lawsuit.

Wouldn't say it is surprising. As far as I know, Elon Musk is a huge fan of crypto currencies. It wasn't long ago he had his bio set to "Doge Coin CEO". Every time he tweeted a meme about doge coin, we saw a surge in the price. He told everyone to use "signal" and people started investing in the wrong signal stocks, causing it to skyrocket. This time he sets his bio to #Bitcoin, we see more people are now interested in bitcoin. In other words, his actions does have an effect everywhere. Would be stupid to deny it and people know that. Hence, people start investing as soon as they can knowing that others will enter the market to follow the trend.  

This shows how those centralized financial institutions are controlled by the billionaires who can do whatever they want. When billionaires manipulate the market, no one cares, but when a bunch of regular people unite together to manipulate the price in order to "mess with them", then the whole world (the entities controlled by the billionaires) becomes concerned about the manipulation and deems it unhealthy to the market.
Lol, what else do you expect SEC to do? They will favor those hedge funds investors .

Great. More billionaires entering the bitcoin market which means more of them are being aware of crypto currencies and how they are going to give better return than banks. They are noticing that keeping their money idle on their banks is not worth anything. But I am just wondering, if more billionaire starts investing in bitcoin, wouldn't the price, like every other thing come under the control of those billionaires? Wouldn't they have huge impacts on the market? Like if we see that a billionaire moved his coins, people will start panicking. When billionaires sell their coins, the market might crash. Wouldn't it?  

This is so true. Most of them who loses everything in crypto currencies are the one who doesn't understand how the market works. They are the ones who think "you can make quick profit within few days". They are the ones who "looks for" projects that are getting pumped 10x. Little do they know that the prices are actually being manipulated by the developers before it can be dumped. Other fail to realize how volatile the market can be and how those FUDs and FOMO causes short term imbalance in the market.
Maybe if they took time to learn all these, they wouldn't have failed in the first place.

Lol, I don't know why but this whole "telegram" groups are filled with scammers and spammers. Best to avoid them and join groups that are extremely trusted. If there are other options to join instead of telegram, join those.
Those who deposit coins on other wallet with the hope of "getting those tokens/balance" are plain stupid. They deserve to get scammed for being this idiot (and greedy). At least they are going to learn a lesson!

Who knows.. The lawsuit may take years to settle. In the mean time everyone will be stuck in this "limbo". But people are believing that ripple will be able to fight back and has an upper hand to win the lawsuit. Or the SEC will eventually drop it. Hence, they are buying as much as they can during this dip to maximize the profit. No doubt, if people don't lose their confidence and ripple does win the lawsuit, the price of XRP will skyrocket.
But once again, this is all speculation and the opposite might also happen.

So you believe that the US government is the government of the world? It was the US government that did that. Not the world. And I guess you are talking about the executive order signed by Roosevelt, right? Yeah that was shit. Citizens were forced to give up their golds. The order was active for like maybe 40 years.
But I doubt that is going to be a case with bitcoin. Crypto currencies are decentralized. Hence they have no central authority to ban. I mean, no one can stop something that is P2P and decentralized. Look at torrents. Were they able to stop those? Nope.

What Crypto projects are you talking about? I haven't heard of any huge projects related to crypto currencies initiated by the bank. All I know is some that few banks around the world are willing to integrate blockchain technology into its current system. Integrating blockchain to their system does not mean that they are adding crypto currencies. Blockchain isn't crypto currencies. Blockchain technology is used to power crypto currencies.
Even if banks make crypto currencies it isn't going to be like the regular decentralized ones we have.

You have seen this "so much bad media" for the past few years, right? You see any difference in anything? Nope, you don't. But things have changed a lot. It is just that people aren't noticing. The government isn't pushing everything in one single day. They are imposing small rules and policies in such a way that people aren't even noticing the changes (all these small changes in a decade together has caused a huge change! People are just too distracted to notice!).
I would say this is one of the strategy the government is taking so that they can bring crypto currencies under their control through regulations without people making any noise.
Nothing we can do. It's inevitable.

Making fake Identity Document is illegal. And as far as I know, all KYC IDs are passed through third party verifier where they can validate the documents. If you provide them with fake ID, they will know. Unless they don't use any third party or even try to verify the documents, you won't be able to pass. Though that would be suspicious. I mean, what do they do with those IDs then?
And don't send your ID for those shitty rewards. Once they scam you, the next thing they are going to do is sell your ID on the blackmarket to make some extra profit.

You or anyone can't do anything about that. You can't stop those "giant" companies from entering the market or put any restriction. After all, its a free market. But it is not like "one" single giant company is hoarding all those bitcoins. Hundreds of companies together are doing it. And I am pretty much sure, if we combine the coins of all regular users, we will see that those giant companies actually hold a negligible amount of coins. And, the supply isn't over yet. If those companies wants to own majority of the coins, they will also have to buy all newly minted coins. Would be interesting to see that happen.

Deposit should be instant after confirmation. I haven't heard of any exchange that "delays"/ "holds" incoming deposit. Taking 3 days for a deposit to show up sounds weird (unless changes has been made. though I haven't faced any such issue). Or was it some fiat deposit that you did like wire transfer? Some wire transfer gets delayed due to internal security check. Other than that they usually arrive in a business day or two and at most three. EFTs are almost instant. You probably did EFTs on other exchanges that you have used and doing a wire transfer on exchange.

You are not getting scammed. You are receiving spam emails. Once you click on any of those links, you might get phished and then you will get hacked.
Those are random spam emails which is sent to mass people where the hacker is hoping someone naïve will open those links. You can't get rid of those "morons". You can try marking those emails are junk/spam/phishing and your provider will eventually start filtering out those emails. Or you can create a custom rule were certain words or phrases, if contained on the email will automatically delete it or send it to spam.
You email address was probably leaked somewhere online.

This guy is probably damn rich to try out stuffs like this. I mean, this isn't an efficient way right? All those electricity he is going to need and even more when driving the car. Also, what like others said, what about the heat issue and the gpus weighing down the car?
Kinda feels like he just did it to get some reaction. He did say though he is doing it to "annoy the gamers" and the earnings are like a "bonus".

I doubt "doing some simple" math is going to help you find out the true value of the coins. The value of the coins doesn't depend on "numbers" only. Maybe if the max supply was a billion, people probably wouldn't have faith in bitcoin and the price might be much lower than expected. Or maybe the price might be much higher than today. More supply, more people owning bitcoin, more scattering of the coins, more trading and I guess with this, comes more stability?
Curious, what's the use of discussing about something that will never happen?

Heard of it. Insane money to be honest. Like you have to be extremely lucky to hit the numbers!
I have heard the odds are something like 1 in 500 million. So keep trying, maybe one day  . Oh and we all know why that man's identity is still a  secret. He just doesn't want "unwanted" attention .


He should be taking home around 600k USD after taxes. That is still a shit load of money.

1. Yeah, hardware wallets like Trezor should work fine as a cold storage.

2. App for what?


If you are using hardware wallets, make sure you make proper backups in case your hardware wallet gets damaged, lost or stolen. For long term holding, just make sure you take proper security measures and once again don't forget to BACKUP your wallets!

For using a hot wallet? No, lol. You don't need to buy a laptop for just using wallets. You can use your current laptop as long as it is secured, free from any malwares and you "know what you are doing and what links you visit/click online". But, if you are being extremely paranoid, for your own good, maybe get a new laptop for just using crypto currencies. Don't remember when was the last time my computer got infect/hijacked. If you are using wallets like trezor, as far as I know, you wallets will still be safe even if you connect it to an infected computer (do your own research!).

VPN for what? Privacy? Sure.

So etherhunt is a platform where you can invest on those projects? Most of the projects you are talking about are never heard of. So highly likely, they are scam projects waiting for investors to invest in them. And you know, no one would want to invest in a random platform.
Oh, and what happened to the fake project that you were promoting(or developing)? Are you trying to expand your scam business by creating an investment platform now?
 

The only way to deal with it is by moving on and starting to invest again with a better strategy. If you sell early because you reached your profit goal, then there is nothing to regret about. If you sell early because you got nervous seeing the price rise, then learn from this mistake. If sell early because you saw the price dipping, then make sure next time you are ready for those small dips.
Move on, start investing and keep holding. Don't sell when you see the price dropping if you can afford losing all your investment.
