There are plenty of reports that MXC has the most unreliable withdrawal service on the market.

Other people say that MXC also blocks withdrawals for some users without explanation... Any response to these accusations? MXC's name is absolute dirt in Telegram trading circles.

It's quite obvious that Satoshi is either benevolent, unable to access his coins, or dead.

I highly doubt he's simply playing the long game because I don't think anybody's hands are strong enough to avoid dumping anything when you've got $10 billion sitting in your wallet.

Maybe he's worried that the myriad blockchain analytics firms will hunt him down if he does so?

Only the absolute shittest of projects run a bounty campaign for the most part. This is because they can't afford to hire a marketing team they pay a bunch of Bitcointalk shillers to spam the forum, Telegram and social media.

If you want to earn money, start looking into profitable low cap altcoins and do your own research. Or throw your time away on these random projects, your choice.

I don't see why they would partner with a random like Paxos, when they could just bring these services in-house?

They're a multi-billion dollar company, and providing cryptocurrency brokerage services isn't exactly the hardest thing in the world...

maybe they're just trying to avoid the regulatory hurdles before going solo later on.

I don't get why people trade on such high leverage, they're just asking to be rekt. I also don't think that platforms like Robinhood shoud allow positions to fall into negative balance... They should much more stringent margin call requirements when trading on such high leverage, and only allow the least volatile assets to be traded on leverage at all.

Either way, why kill yourself over it? They can't get blood from a stone, just go bankrupt.

It is difficult to say which top5 coins are best to HODL to, specially since this can change so rapidly and it is also dependent on the person - are they short- or long-term holders. When it comes to choosing the coins I tend to look at the market cap and fro there predict how much more can the coin pump, has it got potential left. For day trading this is ideal, but for long term I like to stick to the old ones i.e. ETH

The surprise isn't to be all that unexpected as Alexa only gathers information on the last few months. This is why you see this ranking. You can be confident about the true ranking by looking at the coinmarketcap as you can look at all the data. Also, I wouldn't be too surprised even if blockchain.com comes first since most people misunderstand BTC but not the technology.

I personally don't believe in the justice system. To me it makes no sense how for some trials you get a sentence for 7 years just by stealing a loaf of bread, while in some cases you get 2-3 years for money laundering or drug dealing.

In this particular circumstance, it seems that the scam was successful at fooling people as you wouldn't give your money away as investment without seeing any proof of the mining or some sort of expected return. As for his 2.5 year sentence I can't say I agree or disagree as I do not know the full extent of the story.

Do you know what? I was a little skeptical at first but once I started reading the article I found myself reach to the end of it. Now that I've read it I don't mind you pumping this article because it has good content and its informative. So much so that others might find useful. Good job!

I agree with you that irrespective of the way you go about it there's time and effort that one must put in to get the reward either this being 'too fast' i.e. making money quick, or not. The difference between some people and their success is the 'doing' and taking risks and not just saying for the sake of it which what some people on here seem to be. There's also the element of extreme luck but that's nothing you can do about.

I agree with the overall argument that we should all be more considerate and be treating digital currency for the innovation it is rather than for a way to make money fast - though, I think that with the right skills and time you could do. 

While I understand the frustration most of these people share about price speculators contributing to these price volatility waves I believe it is important to make others aware specially if this info comes from reputable people to either attract new investors or to at least shed some light on the projection of the future market price - this I think is completely fine.

It attracts more reads and in the long run it may help with adoptability. It is the trash talk/s that need to be filtered out but unfortunately this is the world of the internet today!

Great thread, definitely something that a lot of newbies need to see since they often forget or don't know they need to put a stop loss in place.

I personally set my stop loss at below the point at which the cryptocurrency was last trading horizontally.

This helps me avoid getting stopped out by pump and dumpers or scam wicks.

The only way Bitcoin is going to increase its value and even begin to approach its all time highest value is by gaining additional utility and/or adoption.

Until more people actually start using Bitcoin for their everyday transactions, there is no need for it to continue growing. It's not designed to be a speculative instrument, it's designed to be a mode of payment. Act like it, and it'll grow in value.

Binance is definitely one of the best platforms in my experience. It's got a huge range of different feature to use, beyond just simple trading, like staking, saving, and trading competitions.

I'd definitely like to see them get involved in the defi lending space though. I wouldn't be surprised if they dont launch their own DeFi Dapp soon, the same goes for Tron too since they're always jumping on the bandwagon for new trends.

If you want to get the next 30, 50 or 100x, then your best bet is to invest during the private sale round.

To do this, you'll usually need contacts to the project and a significant sum to invest (usually around $10k+).

You'll also need to sift through potentially hundreds of trash projects to find the one that has the chance of really popping off.

I found this discussion interesting. While I like Max and some of his points I must say that the strongest disagreement is one one of his points. No bank had insights before hand to be able to buy in secret. In fact that statement makes no sense at all - why would buying in secret be so sacred?

As for the virus helping our crypto, I think yes and no. Yes, as it might have contributed to more awareness and no because investors got cold feet and weren't as risk averse.

Yup, the bounty is real and the bounty is Big. So with just those few words I'm almost certain that the hacker will be caught and brought before light. Nobody would pass on such a generous bounty. I expect there'll be many false claims just to acquire the money but then that in itself is another issue altogether.

I must say that I agree with what's @B.wealth is saying. Fake details to verify your KYC is dangerous as your money could be stollen/taken by anybody this includes if the platform get hacked or busted as there will be no way for you to prove a fake identity. Play it safe

By definition a bounty manager's main responsibility is the bounty hunters and how these people work to promote and advertise the project so in some respect I agree that bounty managers are there to mainly fight for the bounty hunters to ensure that their efforts are being paid for.

I do however disagree that they're completely not related to the success of the project. Instead, I think there's a fine thread, where in some cases the manager can be held responsible if the bounty hunters haven't done a proper job as a direct close supervision failure from the manager itself. The level of responsibility though is and should be set clearly prior to committing to the role - but overall I think there's room of liability for 'some' managers

What I would do if I'd get my hands on the money  Hmm, I'd use that money to invest into property development as this is quite a lucrative industry. Apart from this I'd also re-invest some into crypto coins and perhaps a little spread towards stock investments.

Nearly anything can be done with money and there are so many ways to spend money but an investor always thinks about how to make more money with the existing money and that's investment for you!
