It might be hard as you say for them to pin them all down but once you've been spotted at the right tempo and you're caught off guard. That's when you will realize that you should have been careful at all times. Don't be too showy to everyone that you know and stop talking a lot about investments if you're in that situation that's really going to put you down once you've been caught. It doesn't matter if you're proud or not but the toughest situations has to humble you down and needs to use your brain rightly. It's not just all about enhancing your activities on the crypto market, I'd be against that if you're in that place where cracking down is rampant.

I think loyce did this before and note that the pool of funds came from several forum members. So, if it's possible with that setup then it's also possible to do it with your friends. But you know what OP, I'd avoid being associated with any friends or relatives with investments. Because you don't what's on their head. If they'd just invest and give the money to you without understanding how the wild ride will be, you better stop being interested on this kind of investment. You invest on your own and avoid this kind of setup because based on my experience, this really won't work at all unless those relatives and friends that you're going to include on this pooling or crowdfunding understands what volatility really means and how the crypto market works.

This seems to be happening in most of the countries that have been crypto friendly but then, such pressure and factors that affected the operation of their local exchanges and even the benefit that should be for government really pushed them to do so. That taxation that has been made rounds is truly like a shadow ban.

Well, we can't stop those users/investors that will try and find a way to get into those platforms and are thinking of avoiding these matters. It's just hard that many of us have got choice but those choices seemed forced to the users from these specific countries.

Hell TVA, there's already an ongoing discussion about the same topic. Let's continue the discussion on that thread[1] that's been made first before you about OKX's exit in their Indian market.

Many of the middle class that came from having nothing are wiser but it doesn't mean that there are no people that won't commit any mistake. The problem with those reckless people that every payday, they already have allocation for it for pleasures and stuff that they have never done when they were poorer and young. There's the inner child of most of them that want to buy and do things that they weren't able to do in the past and so they allocate their salary on it because they will just have another payday after 2 weeks or so. While the rich always becomes richer, they know how to take care of money and they practice delayed gratification and that they want to invest their money instead of buying the wants that they need. It's normal to start with some pleasures to enjoy your money but you don't have to all in what you've got and still have that portion bigger for your long term plans than short term.

Those skeptics and anti-Bitcoin will definitely pick their calculator and will show to the world on how much is the "loss" that someone has if they've invested on the peak. But that's how it is going to look like if they're not going to zoom the charts. While if they have that base argument and they always cherry pick then we also have our own by just looking at how someone earned a lot by just holding it like start it on 2017 or even by 2020.

This could be long for them but that's the essence of HODL and long term investing.

I agree, OKX probably have been pressured because it's either that the local exchanges have been complaining to their government that the volume that should be on them went to the global markets. So, as part of regulations and benefits, instead of those going to their economy and local exchanges, it is circulating globally that's being distributed somewhere.

Definitely. They want to no dramas and that much restrictions. I think they have no problems at all with regulations but if it's too much for them that's being asked by the local government where they're operating, they just can't give that much and has to leave that market as they've got some other markets that they can also get that lost volume from that disposed region.

I thought that India has 30% of taxes from crypto profits and that means that they're welcoming any development of businesses and services that will happen there. But as I have read some info about this termination of their support and service to their Indian users, one main reason - local regulations. Well, that's confusing to think if there's a designated percentage of taxation for crypto profits and then now this. What soon? the discontinuation of other exchanges that are operating mainly outside their country and they'd still allow exchanges like zebpay that's originated from their country? as said, they're the major exchange that's regulated and complied to the regulators.

That's right, attacks are lesser but it doesn't mean that linux users or other linux distributions are immune to such attacks. These attackers are focusing more likely to the ones with huge userbase and that's why we keep seeing those attacks from the windows users. But it doesn't give an exception to the linux users. And what matters here, whatever OS you use, you still need to be careful to all of them and start it from yourself with how you use your computers or any devices as any kind of attack might come to you if you aren't careful enough.

They really are cracking down those people that are involved in trading or holding Bitcoin. I guess you guys really have to hide all of those crypto related apps if you go outside or use another device when you have to go outside and just leave that phone that has apps installed for your crypto trades and portfolio managing. You'll never know what the police or anyone will do to you upon knowing or accidentally seen that you're also into crypto investing/trading as they'd always have that mindset that someone who's in, has got a lot of money.

Nano S HW really has this problem with their cords and that's why try to test it with the other USB ports of your computer. I've experienced that before when I have connected mine in the front USB port of my computer it worked when it was still new but in the long run, it didn't anymore so I connected it to the back USB port of my PC and then it worked like magic.

It will show up, as long as you're able to connect it once before as it will serve like your portfolio tracker and all you need to input is your ledger live's password.

Typically, it's only about the cord which is certainly a common issue for the older versions. Other than that, if the bitcoin app isn't yet on your HW, follow what meuserna said.

It's because that they have lesser userbase and hackers won't waste time on it as majority of the people either using mac os' and windows. One thing that they can learn from using linux is there's also a career in it that they can be linux systems administrator so, it's a double thing for them. They're able to at least decrease the chances of dealing with these stealers and attackers and at the same time, they learn a new skill when they've become get used to the usage of linux environment. But still, it's not that 100% that they won't be targeted by attackers/hackers.

If you have just bought on $60k-$61k just this day, see in less than 24 hours we're back to $66k.

Halving isn't a trend, it's an embedded thing to Bitcoin that will continue to happen est. every 4 years or every 210,000 blocks. And that's why we're all expecting it to push more demand as the miners reward will be cut in half in supply so, price will go up after it.

That's right and that's the reason when you see an entry, don't miss to have it. Do not listen to people discouraging you to buy Bitcoin because they'd redirect you to the alts that they baghold.

Look how not secured X platform is. Related to this tax refund scam scheme, there is this tweet that I've found from a guy that has a verified check badge and then upon checking, he's only got a few followers. And the tweet is about one of the links which is on the code below.


PS: Zoom in/out the image for better visibility.




That's the link of the tweet and instead of quoting and linking it to the image, I've used the "code" code. And as you can see, that tweet has already garnered 554.1k views which gives me the idea that there probably have fallen for it already.  

I've read that they've bought again this plummet and that's around 9000+ BTCs again.

I'll choose to do it on BTC and will have my money entrusted on it than to invest on their stock that also buys Bitcoin. You see the loop there? if you can invest and buy BTC while you're going to invest to a company that continuously buys it and then the gains will mostly go to them and through their stock or share, they'll distribute that profits wherein you can maximize that profit by having BTC in your own custody.

I don't think he said that he's been cheated but about failing it, he did said that. He was just disappointed that he didn't claimed it before and yes, no worries with that as he has seen that those codes already expired and he has to move on already. Anyway, you're right with all that you've said and there's a need for them to be attentive at all times especially when they've been joining giveaways and contests for them to see if they've been rewarded or not.

Where are you getting these websites that you're asking? Are they from someone whom you know or from the research that you're doing? If it's unknown to most then you should mostly avoid that and never get into any deposits or investments that they promote. It's not just all about ICOs but also what the website is all about and what you are interested to do. Because these websites might trick you as a newbie into investing or depositing money on them and after that, they'd be gone or your actual money is gonna bye-bye afterwards.

They're even more every bull run as more people coming in to crypto because of it.

It varies and I've known professors and actual professors of mine in college that they've been teaching not just in one university or schools but they've been doing a lot of part time from other schools and institutions too. Upon hearing that, I guess that they don't get pay decently and that's why they have to take every opportunity from other universities to teach and that adds up to their working experience but I can't imagine the time management that they've been dedicating to their profession just to give proper and better education to their students.

If there's to blame with that spreading of information and mindset, those are the influencers that have been paid to do that because there are projects that want them to advertise and they receive hefty amount of money from doing so. And not just about the fee that they get for shilling it, they're possible offered for some commissions based on the sales that they'd drive onto that project. For that reason, many influencers don't mind the sake of their audience as long as they make money, they receive commissions and fees and stuff to make their pockets full in return of the loss of their viewers that seem to believe everything they say.

Just pay attention to your own accumulation at this rate. Because in such communities, not here, maybe somewhere you may land or will discover. There will be a lot of discouragement to you that they'd tell you gains aren't going to be great and you're already too late in the game. You know, such words like that which won't force your enthusiasm but instead they will shill you out some altcoins and tokens and memes that they've invested. With this, you'll focus on your own asset and you only have to read news, speculations and even if they're bad or negative then only take those positive ones that are going to be helpful with your DCA.
