The concept of stablecoins doesn't make any sense. If people want to trade with USD, there are plenty of exchanges where they can do it and even withdraw fiat money if they wish. Stablecoins are based on trusting that a third party can back the value of those coins, which is a problematic point, and we have seen how these coins cannot withstand a sell off.

I disagree, people cannot expect their governments to act as a vigilant father who constantly warns them about danger, people have to be able to protect themselves using their brains and common sense. There are some scams that are very elaborate, but this one is very simple and easily detectable.

This is something that has always happened, when a coin hits exchanges the first thing that happens is that the price goes down because buyers wait a while before they start buying. It's a dynamic that is almost always repeated. In fact, many of the first sellers, once they have sold their coins and the price has dropped, put buy orders to buy more coins at a much lower price. Normally you have to wait some time until the price goes up. What happens now, besides this, is that we are in a bearish market in which there is a lot of pessimism and nobody wants to buy anything, that's why prices go down and stay low. This is why there are projects that are delaying their arrival at exchanges until the market changes.

I'm more concerned that people can learn about cryptocurrencies without going to university. It's clear that university syllabuses will sooner or later include cryptos, but what about people who cannot afford a higher education? It would be good if there were initiatives aimed at these people.

You have to take into account certain circumstances. For example, entering an exchange right now is no guarantee of success, many coins and tokens hit an exchange and are dumped to the floor and forgotten. This is why some ICO teams are intentionally delaying their entry into exchanges until market circumstances improve or there is a strong demand for their coin or token.

The only thing you will need to do is be aware of the announcements in the official channels since during a period of time it will not be advisable to send or receive any transaction. You will have to wait until the developers announce that the network can be safely used.

Honestly, I see no reason to be optimistic with this platform. So far no one has sold more than two gigs, assuming they are real sales, it seems no one is really interested in using the platform right now. I think if they want to attract users they should allow to buy gigs with credit card and PayPal, if not, people will still prefer Fiverr.

Even with a lot of experience behind, no one is safe from making mistakes. Experience helps and is important, but it doesn't make you immune to failure or scams.

What does the Chinese government hope to achieve with this measure? New exchanges are constantly being opened, will they be constantly monitoring all new exchanges and blocking them? What will they do when the atomic swaps are widely used? Block all the internet?

I would not count on it. Moreover, now that they're going to allow exchanges ads, some scammers will try to create fake websites and advertise on google. People who already use these exchanges will not notice it because they have the addresses stored in their browser's bookmarks but new users may be deceived.

People will be lucky if thieves only hack their chips. In some places, when thieves discover someone with a chip in his body they will go after him, corner him and take the chip out of his body with a knife.

The exchange is Zaif.jp and it's one of the most important exchanges in Japan, it's not a new or unknown platform. Tech Bureau are the owners of the exchange.

In reality, for users the exchanges hacks are not as devastating as they were before, after all, the exchanges usually cover the possible losses of their clients or they are not directly affected. However, the big problem may come the day when hackers not only steal coins and tokens but also all the personal information of users. Names, addresses, history, etc.

The only thing I've seen is a tweet in which the Binance CEO has announced that they are going to move the tokens they own to different addresses, they will not sell them. If anyone has doubts about whether they tell the truth or not, it will be very easy for them to check it on the blockchain.

From the beginning it was known that all these accusations against bitcoin were nothing more than a smokescreen. They have tried to use bitcoin as a scapegoat to divert the attention from the true accomplices of those crimes and to try to get the population away from cryptocurrencies.

Centralized exchange, hot wallet and a hack, the song remains the same. It seems incredible that there are still exchanges that keep such a large number of cryptos in hot wallets, it's like playing Russian roulette every day. On the other hand, there is something here that catches my attention. The hack takes place on September 14, but no one knows about it. However, only two or three days later, a company appears and makes an offer, to cover the hole that the attack has left in exchange for a considerable amount of shares of the company. How convenient, right?

It's difficult to predict because when an exchange becomes scam it's something that happens suddenly. The only thing you can do is follow the telegram channel and the bitcointalk thread of the exchange in question. Normally, users of exchanges use these channels to explain the problems they have with the platform. If you see that there are a lot of people complaining about delays in withdrawals and failures in the platform, then it's time to start suspecting. Anyway, the best way to protect yourself is to never leave your coins in an exchange.

No, it has nothing to do with the lack of regulation. If scammers have approached cryptocurrencies is because they have seen that there are many people interested in them and therefore they could use them for their purposes. This is something that has always existed, sometimes in the form of ponzi schemes, other times in the form of HYIPS, etc. In fact, there are other markets that are heavily regulated and controlled and even so, are not exempt from fraud.

In theory, nothing particularly relevant should happen. The trustee himself has explained that he doesn't sell the bitcoins in exchanges, it's understood that he sells them OTC. https://news.bitcoin.com/the-mt-gox-whale-explains-his-crypto-selling-strategy/ However, there are always people who make a lot of noise when bitcoins are moved from the trustee address and that noise can actually cause a dump. The problem is that noise. If the bitcoins were sold on exchanges or if the trustee returned the bitcoins directly to those affected and they sold them the next day, then, a price drop would be logical, but selling them OTC, nothing should happen.

I don't think it's a problem of saturation. It's true that there are many coins, but the main problem is that nobody wants to buy anything because we still don't know if the bear market has reached the bottom or not. The market sentiment is bad and that makes many people stay away from the market or take refuge in bitcoin. Until the direction of the market changes, we will not really know to what extent it's saturated or not.
