BitPay Visa® Prepaid Card for U.S. and EU Residents
US Residents: The BitPay Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by Metropolitan Commercial Bank, member FDIC, pursuant to a license

Is that a new bank coming in the debit card game? It's interesting to see competition coming in, I really do hope that smaller companies will follow BitPay and attempt to offer better solution for US residents. |

Washington D.C., Dec. 4, 2017 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced it obtained an emergency asset freeze to halt a fast-moving Initial Coin Offering (ICO) fraud that raised up to $15 million from thousands of investors since August by falsely promising a 13-fold profit in less than a month. https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-219This is probably a first in the history of ICOs. It's not often that we see the SEC step in in case where securities laws are breached. Oftentimes the teams behind ICOs take measures to protect themselves from such. Could this be a turning point for ICOs in the US? |

There are other places that this report would also be fitting in, perhaps /r/Bitcoin, bitcoin.com forum, Twitter, Facebook etc. Sometimes going public helps put pressure on the situation. I hope you find a solution to this issue.

It's been said over and over again, but I think that it's worth too keep pointing it out. Cloud mining is not an investment by any means. The provider could by all means be directly lying to the user, selling a service that is entirely virtual. Recycling some money under the premise that users will never turn out profit. This is what happens all the time, it's 100% safe for the provider while the users takes on a huge risk. Just look into buying mining equipment. It will give you a lesser risk and a greater potential return on your money.
You are right. I really can't understand why they are still buying contracts when it has proven to be unprofitable time and time again. Please guys stop making threads like: tell me about cloud mining, or what is cloud mining. I've read so many threads with people asking for help because their cloud mining tickets are being unanswered or they got scammed. You have at least one on the same page where you've posted your thread. Are you blind or just ignorant? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2259139.0But, Genesis Mining and Hashing24 cloud mining is legit... No such thing as legitimacy when it comes to cloud mining. It is all a sham and people should stay away from such "investments". |

It's rare to see someone being bearish on crypto markets these days. I bet it's due to the massive bullish rally it's been going through over the entire year. Saying that it's going to the moon is the most appealing thing to say among cryptocurrency enthusiasts especially but in my opinion there are many barriers that cryptocurreny would need to overcome if it were for it to become even greater in value in the near future for it to go to the moon.

What wallet was the transaction sent with? If it was sent by a wallet but never included in a block it is likely that it will eventually be dropped by the network and the wallet should be able to provide you access to sending the coins again.

Hey there,
I'm an established writer working on cryptocurrency related websites since 2013. I'm good with technical writing and would be interested to take on your request. PMed.

I'm pretty sure etherscan.io provides the service of being notified of any address' funding by following it. You'd need an account on their platform for that though.

Genesis mining doesn't have a very great reputation for their mining contracts. It's true that they hold some datacenter which is used for mining but it's unknown whether or not they are honoring the 100% of what customers pay for in mining through that datacenter. There have been many faults in their service and seems like you've been caught in the fire. That's why cloud mining shouldn't be trusted.

I agree that this would be very much trust based and not many people would stand by that claim. If OP truly does have the money and is intentioned to pay out it'd be good to send some funds to a trusted escrow so that the money will indeed en up where it's claimed.

EUR exchanges as of recently haven't had any breaches so I'm satisfied with Kraken, Bitstant and The Rock. I haven't felt the need to use a decentralized exchange and to be honest at this point I don't feel like a decentralized exchange could potentially offer a better service than the aforementioned centralized ones.

All rumors would about big institutions offering services related to crypto would turn out to be true eventually. This is something that's going be be happening more and more lately as bitcoin is reaching a point where only institutional adoption would get it further, but if it happens there is potential for a big increase even from that point on. Institutions are recognizing that, and along with the interest form big investors, they are now investing in offering BTC-related services.

This has also been a problem in paxful recently. If you're trading with low trust profiles then never do deals with them from a distance. In person deals for small ammounts can be beneficial for both and also earn them a good amount of trust too before going in distance trades.

There are certain altcoins that have gathered a following for providing a unique service or feature that could be utilized outside of using bitcoin. The existence of altcoins is beneficial to bitcoin as it still acts as the gate to the crypto economy at large. Moreover, altcoins tend to rise as bitcoin does so it's safe to say that they are all co-existing while bitcoin is still on top.

Gold will be one of the assets with the greatest market capitalization throughout history, sadly. The quantity it has is so enormously large so it'd be hard to claim that bitcoin has defeated it by any reasonable capacity. Bitcoin sure does better in other means like transactions per day or daily transaction value but not by total size.

Right now, I think that the potential for further earnings is attracting many more that are willing to speculate on bitcoin as an asset. Unregulated markets are impressive to traders and in such a lot of capital is flowing in to bitcoin markets.

No, Bitcoin Gold addresses use a different format. If you want to mine Bitcoin Gold (BTG) you better use a dedicated wallet to the currency. Use their website to find one that suits your needs: https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/ |

This was filed by California, first of all. Secondly, do consider that this could have been the story all along, just not at such a wide scale. Users agreed to this when agreeing to Coinbase's ToS when signing up. At any point, Coinbase could have been handling user data to authorities. The only notable aspect of this story could be that it was ordered to.
