They all have the same tweet from the hackers themselves:
"We have partnered with CryptoForHealth and are giving back 5000 BTC to the community. See more here: cryptoforhealth.com"
The Twitter accounts that have been hacked are Binance, CZ Binance, Gemini, Coinbase, KUCOIN, Justin Sun, TRON Foundation, Charlie Lee, etc. I just can't believe how these hackers accessed their Twitter accounts. My goodness!!!
Has anyone encountered these tweets from the hackers using these accounts I've mentioned above?

Well you can't really expect all kinds of projects in the crypto industry to run some kind of anonymity once they reach the shores of US. Since the US SEC is always strict about their regulations as well as the strict implementation of KYC and AML procedures. All of this is to be expected to all kinds of crypto projects regardless if they are new or not since if we are talking about tradeable securities and assets we can always expect for SEC to be sniffing around it.
I had to agree with you about that mate. The US SEC is so tough on the crypto industry nowadays, especially restricting US citizens from participating in ICOs, IEOs and other forms of token sales (unless Brock Pierce wins the next election lol). I just wonder how would they crackdown DeFi in the next few years or so. And speaking of trading securities though, yes we need to have an appropriate license from the US SEC even if we are an international company. In the Philippines, they categorized cryptocurrencies as securities. If starting a company by conducting an ICO in the Philippines, the company has to register for a license in the SEC. There will always be innovative, new and out-of-the-box ways in the financial side, but SEC would always be there to sneak on us without warning. |

Now this comes as a surprise to me. I would have never thought that Chainlink have surged even higher and ultimately surpassed Binance Coin and Litecoin in terms of market capitalization. Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/chainlink-link-rallies-as-market-cap-surpasses-litecoin-and-binance-coinAs of this time of posting, Chainlink is now ranked 9th after briefly took the 8th spot from Litecoin. I am also a bit surprised about Cardano (ADA) conquering the 7th spot. Factors of Chainlink's surge would be it's connection to a DeFi project, and we believe that DeFi could be the next big thing in the crypto space right now. I'm keeping an eye on this one. Any reactions so far? |

Hello. I've been quite successful so far in my trading endeavors. So much so that I've been offered a decent amount of money to trade with if I split the profits 50/50. I just have some questions on how I can go about doing this carefully.
How can I ensure that I am keeping track of when I am using their funds and when I am not? I guess I could always open a second trading account which would keep the funds separate, however, this would be a bit of a pain having to sign in and out of multiple accounts.
If I added the funds to my own account how can I keep track of profits? Could I calculate the percentage of what the newly added funds are compared to my current funds? And if I need to cash out or share profits in the future, I would take that percentage of my total funds and remove them?
For example, if I currently have $10,000 and am loaned $3,000, bringing me to $13,000, could I take the percentage of the loan (23%) and multiply it by my ending balance? So,if a year later, my ending balance is $37,245, would taking 23% of this balance ($8,566) provide me with the correct amount of funds? Then take the 50/50 split profit amount ($4,283) and send it back to the loaner? Does my math seem to add up?
Thanks.
Edit: Just so everyone knows, a close friend of mine has asked me to trade with some of their money. They have witnessed my trading and know that I am profitable. It is NOT a random person as others have suggested on this thread. Either way this does not matter and I would like to keep the discussion on topic.
I had a similar scenario last year. My good friend referred me to someone who wants to trade. However, I didn't expect that referred person wants me to handle her funds and I will trade it for profit. Because of that, I rejected the offer and I don't want to risk it. I only gave her some useful resources about the basics of cryptocurrency trading and where to learn them. It's very hard on my part to keep track of the funds from other people to be used to trade, especially when the market goes down later on. |

Source: https://decrypt.co/35532/sec-killed-icos-defi-could-be-nextWhenever there are new innovative ways of profiting from the internet (especially cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology), SEC is always there to slowly control them for good. Like in ICOs, the US SEC has restricted its citizens from participating in those token sales (except if it's whitelisted by the US SEC or US-based accredited investors are allowed, etc.). Now that DeFi projects are on a roll, it looks like the SEC is trying to stand on their way again. What are your thoughts or opinions about this one guys? |

Note: Feel free to move this to Scam Accusations if it’s necessary. Thank you.
I don’t know if you have encountered these Telegram bots before who are offering fake airdrops. Like ClipClaps and Sky Token’s case today, they are offering you a “too good to be true” amount of ETH or tokens to be given away to the airdrop participants for participating and for referring a reasonable amount of people to do the same like you.
After the airdrop period, they would ask you to send them an upfront payment as “gas fees” to “verify that you are a real person”. Like Sky Token, they are asking us 0.005 ETH as “gas fee” so that they will distribute the tokens to your wallet (which may be true or not true and may end up as shitcoin). As for ClipClaps, they are asking 0.006 or 0.01 ETH as gas fees before distributing the ETH. ClipClaps is currently disabling chat room for the community.
As for Sky Token, as I warned another users not to send money to them, they kicked me out and continue to scam more people with their so-called “selfdrop”. I also find out that they both don’t have websites as well.
Have you guys encountered these kinds of fake and scammish airdrops using Telegram bots?

I would like to share on what is happening on my country (The Philippines) when it comes for the government to provide assistance to the low-income households. Since the start of the lockdown (or Enhanced Community Quarantine or ECQ in short), the government provided financial assistance to the low-income households of just between $120 to $160 per month, which is only good for basic needs as a third-world country.
But now that our city have lesser restrictions and slowly recovering, there’s no need for us to receive financial assistance (unless if circumstances happen like virus getting out of control, we could get another financial assistance again).
I’m just surprised that since the start of the COVID-19 restrictions in the country, the American government hasn’t provided $2,000 financial assistance to their citizens (which is still under consideration) as their businesses and jobs are affected by the pandemic.
Restarting the economy is the only way to get back on track provided that the citizens must adhere to the minimum health standards such as face masks, proper hygiene, social distancing, etc. Look at New Zealand right now, they’ve succeeded in controlling the virus and social distancing has been lifted after no more new cases for so many weeks.

1. The Internet of Money vol1 and vol2: My introduction to the Bitcoin rabbit hole back then was Andreas Antonopoulos. Listened to a few of his talks, and liked his content so I bought the books so I can learn about Bitcoin while decreasing my computer screen-time. Unfortunately haven't purchased volume 3 yet because Bookdepository doesn't ship to the country I'm currently in right now due to the pandemic.  2. The Little Bitcoin Book: Purchased this in September of 2019 even though I already had the Bitcoin basics in my head. Purchased it just due to the curiosity. Obviously I learned little to nothing because the book is basic(as expected), but at least I supported the writers so there's that. Would recommend these for beginners for sure. Though these are only 3 books, I refused to purchase more Bitcoin-related books(for now) simply to widen my knowledge in economics and finance as a whole. Wouldn't want to be too Bitcoin-focused. I obtained The Little Bitcoin Book for free from Token News Conference last November 2019 before I went to Singapore for The Capital and Blockshow 2019. As for the Cryptocurrency Wizards, I also got it for free at Token 2049 last March 2019 in Hongkong. But for the Blockchain Revolution, I bought it from a local bookstore. But you were right though about having too much “Bitcoin-related” books. I would love to have a paperback copy of Ethereum-related or any other coin, token or blockchain out there, especially on the development side. |

I was thinking of making a collection of physical books about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
Here are the books I currently have about Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies:
1. The Little Bitcoin Book: Why Bitcoin Matters For Your Freedom, Finances and Future by Timi Ajiboye, Luis Buenaventura, Alex Gladstein, Lily Liu, Alexander Lloyd, Alejandro Machado, Jimmy Song & Alena Vranova
2. Cryptocurrency Wizards: The Key Movers and Shakers in Asia That You Need To Know by Shaun Djie & Kai Cheng Chng of DigiXGlobal
3. Blockchain Revolution: How The Technology Behind Bitcoin And Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing The World by Don Tapscott (bestselling author of WIKINOMICS) and Alex Tapscott
How about you guys? Feel free to share yours here. Thanks!

In my own opinion, China is trying to "take over" the world by releasing these viruses and making sure it's out of control. I just don't believe that it came from the Wuhan market, but in the lab itself.
So COVID-19, hantavirus, bubonic plague, etc., all came from China. They're also gained tyranny in Hong Kong by passing the national security law, and it took away freedom of speech and independence from the Hong Kong citizens. No disrespect, but this is the reality.
Even if they are doing this slowly but surely, they can't take over the world. They still cannot surpass the United States on the economic side.

Ain't a fan of rap song either, but it was great! Creating Bitcoin and cryptocurrency awareness for the rap singing and listening community would definitely work slowly but surely. However, out of all the Bitcoin songs out there, my #1 favorite was the Pokemon Parody called " Bitcoin Gotta Cash Em' All!". #BuyBitcoinNow |

Never been a fan of using TikTok despite that there's a way that we could generate money from it like Instagram, etc. Here's what I have assessed so far from those guys who have made that viral DOGE TikTok video.
Maybe they were #HODLing some DOGE during that time and was thinking of an idea to make their video viral on TikTok about buying DOGE. As the price gone up a bit, they sell it for profit. Not a bad idea though, but ain't a fan of that viral video and using TikTok.

According to the news, there is an issue related to a suspension of visa for workers that Trump administration is looking forward to happen. Some workers are unable to have work because unemployment is their prioritize right now due to the risk of getting the virus. US economy is not that stable enough and they are still having a hard time to make their economy grow again. This coronavirus makes the administration become more careful in employing workers so that they can minimize the growth of this virus from their country. "No matter how you slice it, this is shaping up to be a big win for American workers at a critical time," said RJ Hauman
This will make a big way to some other concerns or issue related to their businesses and economy. The Trump administration should consider other options that will give some benefits on those workers who will not given a chance to employ. But plans for the order have already raised significant concerns among business and industry groups, as well as universities who depend on foreign workers and scholars.
The order would, however, make broad exceptions for travel in the national interest, including in the areas of economics, public health and national security.
What are your thoughts about this? Do you think that US will have an advantage on not employing workers due to this pandemic? Will their economy be affected by this suspension on high-skilled worker's visas?
Source: https://www.business-standard.com/article/international/trump-may-suspend-h-1b-other-visas-amid-rise-in-us-unemployment-report-120062100316_1.htmlThis is where we say “nothing is permanent”. My parents told me that when we had a cafe and resto business back then, which only lasted more than a couple of years. Same thing when we had an internet and gaming station for 2+ years too. Look at Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks and other well-known businesses out there. They’ve permanently closed a lot of stores worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ABS-CBN, a broadcast giant in the Philippines, also have shut down as lawmakers choose to prevent from having a franchise renewal for another 25 years, and 11,000 employees are highly affected. Not just applicable in the United States economy alone, as we are talking about global economic catastrophe. We’re in a recession, and it’s up to us on how we innovate or think outside the box to get back on track and start adopting to the “new normal” kind of money making opportunities (not those ponzi or pyramiding schemes). |

Ain’t a fan of using TikTok anyway. Never used it for a long time, I only got like 3 boring video clips and 10+ followers. These guys had a brilliant idea in creating a Dogecoin viral video for their followers to buy DOGE, while they are enjoying their profits after some countries are gonna ban TikTok (which results for DOGE to dump). I bought DOGE last 2017 at $0.006 and sold it when it almost reached all-time high. Although it’s a funny coin with no real use case, so many people are still trading DOGE, which was no surprise for me until now. P.S. I honestly think Philippines is a TikTok-friendly country, so no ban here (they did have an April Fools prank last time about banning TikTok in the Philippines lol). |

It's 90% untrue story when new projects failed to launch their project because of COV19 pandemic because every thing about crypto is digital, you can continue development digitally even if the team are in their separate homes, I can still cut some slacks with projects from Italy and France, they are the hot zones of Cov-19 pandemic but what about others??? We have Zoom app thats very good for team to come together and make a plan because of social distancing,. What am I missing guys  Am I right or wrong? What you said is actually true. Most of the projects I have encountered (whether if I’m an investor or just an airdrop or bounty participant) have COVID-19 as the main reason to put a “halt” to their campaigns or not paying or compensating us for our efforts. Why would it be a conflict if everything is digital and can be done online?It’s not really a good “excuse” for them to make COVID-19 a reason for their so-called “delays” or pausing the campaign “until further notice”. Project developments can be done at the front of the monitor, especially apps. We don’t need to meet face-to-face in order for the project to become successful. Most of the ICOs, IEOs, etc., have their projects mostly online (unless they do have physical MVPs that required them to move around the city or something like that). It’s not an excuse if they can’t do some sort of a physical collaboration. They should think outside of the box by going digital collaboration, as we are entering into the new normal. Look at the conferences right now. They’re going digital and it didn’t stop them from making the virtual conference a success. Same thing goes to these new startups, ICOs, IEOs, etc., where making excuses like this only made them weak and not worth investing or promoting. |

Very strange thing i noticed: most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few
I think all clients i had from bitcointalk prefer to use bitcoin to buy services / products they needed ...
Not a single client that i had until now used altcoins like ethereum ,litecoin etc or tokens like usdt,usdc ....
Why do you think people don't like to use altcoins to buy things on the internet ?
On my own opinion, Bitcoin so far is the mostly-used cryptocurrency of all time. Not only that, BTC is mostly used to be converted to fiat money. As for Ethereum and other altcoins, we need to convert them to BTC first before withdrawing them to fiat currency. Bitcoin’s dominance and influence is another thing. When Bitcoin goes up or down, most of the altcoins (with the exception of stablecoins) are following too. Just my two sats. |

This is why I should never advise newbies and beginners to store cryptocurrencies in exchanges. Either putting it on hardware or mobile wallet where you hold and own the private keys or mnemonic phrases. Never heard of Cashaa yet, but this is totally alarming for exchanges. Not even Binance and other well-known exchanges are exempted from getting hacked or compromised. No matter if they have tighten the security level of their CEXs, the hackers would always be one step higher due to their intelligence in counter-attacking and breaching security protocols. |

I used to have 14 ethereum but I got caught in the web of FOMO and I lost over 10 ethereum because the project I invested the ethereum on have dropped marginally, is this the end of the road for me? Or I still have hope? How can I recover?
I don’t know what kind of Ethereum-based project have you invested mate, but you have to be careful from now and start managing your risks very well. I know how it feels to lose that amount of Ethereum due to the circumstances of that project you’ve invested. It feels like your heart is drowning. I’ve been in the same situation as you before when I didn’t have the time to do research and common sense in investing to those unpromising projects, which ended up losing a lot of money and regretted my decision too. On a brighter note, it gives us the opportunity to learn about these opportunities that we should not participate next time. Instead of thinking on how to recover, you have to act instead. But how? Look for more online income opportunities whether if it’s costs you nothing or a few bucks. Diversify your income streams. Been there man. It’s hard for me to recover myself when I lose a lot of money on phishing scams, investing in wrong opportunities, etc., like it feels that everything was taken away from me after I am working hard on it. These circumstances gives us the opportunity to learn and move forward, and make better decisions this time. It took me a few years to finally get it back, as I keep going no matter how slow it is. Just take it one step at a time man, you can recover. |

1.How did I lose my bitcoin? I learned about the ETHBull and ETHBear Token which is the 3x leverage token of the FTX exchange. The price of ether was then below $ 100 At that time the price of ETHBear was $ 30 when I invested.Then the price of the Ethereum was around $ 120. At the same time, I panic and I made all my investments on ETHBear in the face of huge profit. 2.Big mistake of my life  this investment was done at the behest of a youtuber which proved to be a big mistake in my life.Now I have thought that do not invest at the behest of others. When I lost my entire BTC, I felt very bad, please do not do it. Thanks for all I understand how you feel, because I’ve felt the same way before when I made a bad decision in an opportunity where I lost some tokens too. However, we should learn to move on after losing a certain amount of money from those opportunities that aren’t promising at all. On a brighter note, we’ve learned our lessons and make us better in decision-making if these kinds of unpromising opportunities are gonna knock through our doors again. I have to be honest with you man. Way back before I’m getting serious in cryptocurrencies, I’ve already lost a lot of money because of careless decisions such as bank phishing scams, etc. My heart went drowning and it’s hard for me to accept that mistake. However, we can’t change the past anymore. Let’s just move on and focus in getting better of our lives, especially the decisions we have to succeed in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. |
