Those numbers mean nothing. Retail investors should never focus too much on it if they don't understand what they're playing at. I agree that this trading platform is just a new way for big players to get more money, while retail loss more as usual.

If anything, holding 'real' bitcoin should be the first goal for them before thinking of playing with ETF imo.

I think your last option is to ask for professional assistance. But judging from how it sounds, there's a high chance that the data has been overwritten many times and recovery is no longer possible. I won't hope too much if I were you, even if the file can be recovered, the data is probably corrupted.

Just as mentioned above, as far as I can remember, most criticism is about the difficult onboarding process, the "less decentralized" structure, and the lack of support so it is not a viable solution. Well, as you mentioned, we solve most of them with time and more individual adoption, especially opening new channels etc. This is just the nature of decentralized tech, implementation happens quite slowly most of the time, especially if everyone does not agree on it.

It is quite easy for a service to claim that they're not at fault if you don't give anything as proof. And the bad news is, it is quite hard to prove that you don't make a mistake here or there. That's why you should use a non-custodial wallet and make sure you never leak/put your seed/keys online or in other insecure places.

I use a USB cable I bought from the market since I lost my ledger nano s cable, and it works fine. But sometimes it is not detected by my pc. Can't find out exactly why, I guess it's not perfectly compatible in one way or the other. So, if you can use the official cable, I suggest you use it instead.

Is your goal to attract more people to your site, or just help them to get more familiar with crypto?
Other than bounties, maybe try with a giveaway or something similar. I don't think anyone new or unfamiliar with crypto would be interested in doing bounties. A faucet might be an option too, but you'll need to set up something first. Unless you want to give them something like "a guide to get your first crypto" post.

If we can improve efficiency and create new tech to lower the cost, then it will be cheaper in the future. I think it's just how tech works. Just take a look at the computer market for example. You can find a fast processor for under $100 now, which can compete with the top 10 CPUs in the 90s, and so on. Tech will improve, so time will tell whether we can solve that problem or not.

Unless it was monopolized, and the government doesn't support innovation, I don't think lowering the cost will be a huge problem.

Positive news in the middle of fud and bearish sentiment usually doesn't affect the market that much. Just take a look at the past price action. On the opposite, news like "Goldman Sachs start trading bitcoin" and the likes are usually the starting point of the bear market. It was proven many times that those big players always publish this kind of title/"news" before they dump their bags to retail traders.

Personally, I never see people say that mining will make you rich overnight, allow you to become a millionaire easily, and stuff like that. Most of the time people already know that mining needs some investment, and it's not that surprising if you're not interested in it if you don't have the capital, time, and risk tolerance to do that and that's fine. That being said, mining needs to be profitable, since you need miners to keep the network running.

It's quite easy to avoid buying fake tokens as long as you pay attention. But is this the only trick that they use to steal some TRX tokens? I won't be surprised if the contract approval or something else can be used to drain all the tokens from the user's wallet without prior notice.

If we can learn something from the crypto market, one of them should be everything change so quickly. Within a few months or so, you can change from being bullish as hell for the NFT market, to bearish like there's no tomorrow. Don't be so overly optimistic, just take profit while you can and save some for long-term holding. That will be better for your wallet instead of betting all of it for 1000x that may never come.

Most of the time, exchanges will tell you in advance if they decided to stop trading the tokens. You will be able to withdraw your tokens then, usually, around 1-3 months before or after the trading is stopped. If you failed to withdraw until then, then there is a high chance that you'll lose your token forever.

As a precaution, you should not store your token for long if you're not planning on trading them. Just save it on your personal wallet so you don't need to be anxious every day.

I suggest you not assume one project is related to the other because of the UI, at least find other sources to verify it. It's quite easy to 'copy' a UI, or clone it completely. That being said, I used Binomo in the past. It works fine, but as others have mentioned, there's a really high risk of losing your money since they're doing options trading. It's a high-risk high-return method to get money for now, but who knows when they'll start scamming you. I won't trust them with a large amount of money.

Wow, just how on earth did they promote their scams? The fact that stuff like this still works makes me wonder whether we get new users every day, or the same old rekt plebs are just trying to play around and hope they are successful with this high-risk investment (if we can call it that).

IIRC, some influencers also promote shady crypto a few days ago, and Mutahar also covers it (or somebody else, can't recall it). Why do influencers accept the risk of being jailed for some thousand dollars, I don't really understand.

You should post this report on the reputation section, or PM the manager about it if you want to make it private. Don't forget to achieve important links with tools like archive.is to prevent the deletion of the evidence.

Not sure what do you mean by that. In general, you access your assets via a wallet. An exchange does this for you, so even if you don't use an exchange you can do the same thing with a wallet just like mentioned above. How did you send it in the first place? From where to where? Coinbase to your personal wallet?

If you successfully created a transaction on Coinbase then the transfer should succeed.

Even in the news, you linked above, they're not mining bitcoin at all. Well, you can try it, but don't expect to get any profit from doing it. Why would you use a console to do it anyway, you can use the same amount of money to buy hundreds of consoles to get ASICs.

I believe you can find the threads/discussions if you search it. Use keywords such as "PoS weakness", "PoS vs PoW", and so on. The main concern is usually about decentralization and the risk of 51% attack. There will be variance depending on what kind of PoS is used by the project itself.

Btw, this should be on Altcoin discussion.

Maybe you need to be more clear on this. Do you count the time to transfer your fund to the exchange or not? How did you define the time to buy or trade something? And more. If those are not answered, your promotion might face more problems and meet more skepticism later on.

Isn't it a bit too soon to build a blockchain network after learning some programming? That being said, I recall there's a website with a guide on blockchain tx simulation where you can make it on your own with HTML and JS. It's definitely for simulation/visualization only though.
