WeChat is politically an extension of the Chinese government and because of that reality it has no choice but to bow down to the wishes of the government for it to shun cryptocurrency of any form and type. This is an exercise of the governmental power and influence over all business within the boundary and even beyond of China. Will this affect WeChat user base? The way I see it is not affecting since their users are mostly in agreement with the government and for now any opposition is silenced for good. In addition, this can never affect the cryptocurrency market in general as we are all moving away from the China factor since 2017. |

I disagree that mixers aren't safe anymore because the article only mentioned some mixers. I haven't used any of those mixers but I think it's possible to create a different mixer an example I could give is ChipMixer. Centrally operated BTC mixers of the sort referenced here include Mixertumbler, Bestmixer.io, Blender.io, Bitcoinfog, and Gramshelix.
Imo it depends on the mixers, if the two mixers you're using are similar to those above then it won't complicate things that much for them I am not a big fan of Bitcoin mixers since I am very transparent with all of my Bitcoin transactions plus am not ashamed to say that I am not holding a big hoard of the cryptocurrency anyway. I know however some of my friends who are into mixers and so far I have no heard any complaints coming from them. Now, the question of safety is very valid because in the first place people are paying for these mixers and if they are not anymore providing what they are offering then they should initiate changes on their services in other words introduce the necessary changes. I am sure that these mixers are also watching the market closely and the technology they are using so maybe some statements or clarifications coming from these mixers can balance everything. |

Why would scammers return back what they have stolen? That's why they are scammers for a reason. Better be aware and be vigilant with those types of people. You will never know. Having a Robinhood wouldn't be so bad. Robinhood can send some in the BTC address in my profile.  Sadly, there is no Robinhood in the era of cryptocurrency especially in the area of hacking, phishing and just anything fraud. I have never heard anyone returned the bitcoin they stole and I think it can take a big miracle for them to do so. Well, miracles can happen but not here in cryptocurrency I guess. Scamming is now a professional job for the many of them and once they got your bitcoin they are gaining a big satisfaction of it as the bonus for their labor and time. What we need is the real Robinhood...someone who can steal from these thieves and return the money to the victims...that can be the miracle that we need. It is unfortunate that the best security measures and the best defense technology can still be breached by hackers as shown in the Binance incident. I am then asking: how safe really are small guys like you and me? |

There are now many merchants big, small and those in between which are now accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their business. With the help of third-party applications, they are able to integrate Bitcoin option with their infrastructure. Here are some in the list as provided by payments startup Flexa: Barnes & Noble, Baskin Robbins, Bed Bath & Beyond, Caribou Coffee, Crate & Barrel, Express, GameStop, Jamba Juice, Lowe’s, Nordstrom, Office Depot & OfficeMax, Petco, Regal Cinemas, Ulta Beauty and Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market and of course Starbucks Source is here. The names are the who's who in their respective industries. Now, we are all hoping that soon more and more big names will be coming on board so as to boost Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency club. I know that we are still far cry from mainstream adoption but we can get there one merchant at a time. Soon if this whole thing can be sailing smoothly, there can be an avalanche of support from the business community. |

Whenever there's a huge growth in bitcoin price we always speculate that it's formulated or conducted by whales, and now exchanges buying bitcoin. People has no contentment, during the bull-market everyone was yearning for bitcoin price to recover. And now that the market is growing, speculation, conspiracy theories are coming out. Don't forget that there had been lots of good news that had came out recently that could've played a great role on the market recovery, the adaptation from companies and other financial institutions, crypto related events and developments, etc. Of course, whales always have a role in every pump. Let's just be contented and happy that the market is green again.
Yes, let's all be happy that the Bitcoin market is now moving upward and for people who wanted to encash their holdings then this can be one of the best time to do so not unless of course if one is afraid to do it because of the hope that Bitcoin can continue on rising even beyond $10,000 this time around. Now, there will always be speculations, theories, opinions and ideas whenever Bitcoin will go up and if they can't find anything reasonable they will always blame what happened to the usual market manipulators. As for me, I am not a close-minded guy so let's see what can we decipher after the smoke is gone. |

Social networking databases are a valuable resource because information has always had a price. And users have the right to control how that data is used. Therefore, the blockchain technology should be integrated into social networks, so that at last the user has the opportunity to control how the information is stored and used. But have u seen SM that use blockchain?
The control and ownership of data have been debated in the past, today and even into the future all because data is a big commodity and its value can accelerate in the years to come. In the social media scene, the use of blockchain technology for user-generated data should be used and tested but even if there have been many good project proposals for such an idea it seems that nothing took the market by storm. Well, maybe because people are still adhering to the traditional way of doing things as done by our current and top social media sites. Hopefully, there would be projects to implement this idea which is essentially returning the power of something that users are themselves generate: the data. |

I wrote an article regarding making money in Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) with cryptocurrency You can indeed be rich using this money-making platform as there are still many people who can be enticed to join an HYIP program. However, we know that these programs will not last that long leaving many newcomers with empty bags. This is nothing more but enriching the few while robbing the many. And of course, in the marketing of those programs, there is no way you are telling that you are just actually a masked ponzi program otherwise only a few will be joining. The strategy is to present it as a lucrative investment program with good and sustainable source(s) of income and that it can last for years if not forever. In other words, this is just a deception. But then again, one can prefer one thing while another will not so this is just a matter of personal choice. Good luck on your endeavor. |

Eth is possessing a great promise and potential among all the possible contenders to the throne of Bitcoin. With a good dev team behind and with the leadership of a young Russian-Canadian programmer named Vitalik Buterin, it was also a recipient of the 2017 cryptocurrency bull run. I remember that Eth reached more than $1,000 back then before dropping dramatically. Now that Bitcoin is excitedly showing its bull run, many Eth holders like me are wishing that it can do its dance upwards as well. Yes, it is showing some good movements but not with the same intensity as Bitcoin. Will Eth get benefited by the current strong showing of Bitcoin or will do its own slow like snail move? |

I was following this coin from ICO days it was the revolutionary crypto payment solution . But this coin did not get bigger as I thought now it’s slowly taking it’s momentum . Hope this time it will give huge return for long term holder.
I was supporting this project back to its ICO days but it lost its momentum which can be a big sign that the people behind the project are not doing enough that can boost the price of the tokens. I already sold all of my tokens at the time when the value was at the bargain since I could not anymore wait for it to pick up but I always have this kind of connection with bounties I participated especially in 2017. Actually Utrust has one of the best potential among its peers and I am hoping that the dev should realize that everyday. There is still time to catch things up so I am wishing the Utrust people all the power, all the motivation and some luck. |

How do you respond when the tokens that you store prices continue to decline? whether you will sell as soon as possible or will hold until the price rises up again. Panic will certainly come over, but it doesn't have to sell. What do you think. Thank you very much.
The decision to hold or to let go depends too much on the type of token one is holding. There are many tokens that do not have any bright future at all, and they all deserved to be dumped once and for all so that you can convert them to Bitcoin or any top alts that got the best potential for growth. Now, there are some exemptions and so holding them can bring in delights and surprises later. Investing with anything means that one has to do some duel diligence before jumping into the bandwagon...this is quite true in altcoin investing. As of now, the Bitcoin bull run is very silent and non-responsive to many alts so we should wait for some time and just be patient. Time is also a very important element with alts but as humans we can get too impatient which can be understandable. |

There is a lot of good news, good things seem to be coming to the crypto market. eBay's will accept crypto payments and Facebook has removed the ban on crypto ads on their platform. Facebook has also released official information about its own plans to release crypto. I don't know if the market will grow like 2017, but at least we entered uptrend after bad days.
Bitcoin is getting to be interesting to watch how it will be behaving this 2019 in contrast to its surge in 2017. There are many predictions on how the bull run will be transpiring this year but only Bitcoin and time can tell which of them will eventually come true. Suffice it to say that it is moving good and soon an avalanche of bull riders can be coming to the market including some money from institutional investors...and this can further put fire to already burning market. Certainly, many good news on the horizon are helping a lot. Interestingly, there are no sticky FUDs this time around as bad news were clearly ignored. |

The recent hack in Binance has failed to put the exchange and its coin BNB down. That is for sure and it seems that the platform is able to reverse the threat into a good opportunity. This is showing us the management prowess and the professionalism that Binance people got. As they are saying, what does not kill you can make you stronger. Soon the whole cryptocurrency marketplace will see a stronger, wiser and bolder Binance. With this backdrop, it would be wise to just hold to your BNB hoard. Binance has many plans into the future maybe including competing with Ethereum and once that can happen am sure BNB can go wild.

Bitcoin just breached the $8K level and many are wondering if it is not yet too late to get into the game and produce some profits. There are already many predictions that it can just take some days for Bitcoin to get into the $10K level if the same trend will persist. People are now starting to reminisce the coin performance in 2017 where it almost get into $20K. Now, I am wondering...are we now experiencing the FOMO stage where people are riding the bull so they won't miss the opportunity for profit? Are we now in strong speculative stage? Or has the market already matured and we are seeing cautious moves? Hands down, Bitcoin is getting to be interesting as the bear is kicked out and the bull is ushered in... |

Many analysts are now telling us that soon Bitcoin can be able to breach the $10K level so if you are a risk-taker and will ride it now you can still make a good profit...and if before the end of this year Bitcoin will be so powerful to triumph over the $20K then your portfolio can be performing well. Now, this is not a financial advice and you have to decide based on what you know and your research. The Binance hacking is not affecting the exchange platform and the whole industry evidence by the no-dump performance by BNB.

Per a Bloomberg report, in the past two years, BitOasis has handled trading volumes totaling approximately $1.6 billion. This makes it one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the Middle East. Currently, some of the cryptocurrencies that are available for trading on BitOasis include BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, LTC and XLM. Others that are available for trading include ETC, BSV, XMR, XLM and ZEC.
There is a big market just waiting to be tap on this side of the Middle East. This is a rich source of capital and as shown by the $1.6 billion this can just be the tip of the iceberg. It is good to see an exchange and trading platform get the approval from the government and may this help push for more players in this region. Definitely, the Middle East market is a sleeping giant that is just waiting for some tap to get out of the slumber. |

It has now been suggested that Paul Le Roux may be Satoshi Nakamoto – and that Craig Wright is in possession of encrypted hard drives containing Le Roux’s multi-billion-dollar stash of bitcoins. It’s a crazy theory, and yet, on closer inspection, there is a prima facie case for Bitcoin’s mastermind being criminal mastermind Le Roux. Source. I am always fascinated with the continuing fascination with the never-ending search for the real identity of the man named Satoshi Nakamoto. So far there have been many candidates but only a few are being taken seriously. Should we then include a criminal named Paul Le Roux to the growing list of possible Satoshi? Well, let's see if this possible claim can hold on over a period of time. Certainly, it would put Bitcoin on a bad light if later on it can be proven that this man is the one we are looking for. Just because a person is in jail is not making him inutile not to be able to move his Bitcoin not unless he is not allowed to see any guest even family members. |

Over the weekend the crypto markets incurred a massive influx of buying pressure that extended the upwards rally they have incurred over the past several weeks, with Bitcoin setting fresh year-to-date highs at $7,800, up significantly from its 2019 lows of $3,400 that were set in February. Although it is always somewhat unclear as to what, or who, drives these rallies, one prominent economist and analyst believes that a small handful of large buyers who are actively engaging in strategic buying have driven this surge. This massive surge has led many analysts to conclude that the bear market has officially ended, which likely means that further gains are imminent and that the entire crypto markets are currently in the early-stages of the next bull trend. As the week kicks into gear and more news breaks regarding the imminent launch of institutional platforms, including those being offered by Bakkt and Fidelity, it is likely that the long-term significance of this rally will become clearer. Source: https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/05/14/analyst-ongoing-bitcoin-rally-driven-by-a-handful-of-strategic-buyers-where-will-they-send-btc-next/In a big move that surprised many inside and outside of the world of cryptocurrency, there is now no stopping the upswing of Bitcoin and if this trend will never be plugged, we can see soon Bitcoin hovering around $10,000. Now, there are those saying that this recent surge is actually just a manipulation of some "whales" in the market. Do you believe such analysis to be true? What will happen if these whales will suddenly cash-out...will it mean that Bitcoin can go dump? |

The recent announcement from BAKKT on developments of their platform became one of the most visible factors why Bitcoin is right now on the upswing...or so says some analyst looking for the reasons behind the ongoing bull run towards the $10K level. It is said that BAKKT can be the "absolute game-changer for the crypto market across the board" and one that can singly influence the whole market. This platform can help in bringing in big volume of institutional money to the cryptocurrency sphere. Seems to me that we are seeing now a flood of good news which further fuel the Bitcoin for more growth.

Since its arrival ten years ago, cryptocurrency has struggled to enter mainstream commerce. This could soon change thanks to a new initiative, announced on Monday, that will reportedly see big name retailers—including Crate and Barrel, Nordstrom, and Amazon-owned Whole Foods—now accept Bitcoin and three other types of digital money.
One analyst is citing this development to be one of the many factors why Bitcoin is pumping and jumping right now. And indeed this can be a big good news as this can help a lot in pushing for Bitcoin massive adoption...or at least we now have the choice of new big merchants which include Bitcoin as their modes of payments for customers and consumers to enjoy. This is the kind of scenario that can really help the long-term viability of Bitcoin and it is imperative that we should be patronizing these establishments as doing so can push other merchants big and small to fully the lead. The more business that these merchants will be getting from people using the Bitcoin option, the more we are enticing others to adopt the same decision. I am hoping that soon it can be Amazon which will announce their integration with Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies. This can be a big boost, indeed! |
