It is good if you have any supporting documentation on this or how did you know the comperagble data.

It will still depend on your skills and how you negotiate. If you really wants to be on top of your field, then build your portfolio at its finest.
Instead of doing your freelance job online, why not offer your calling cards to the market that could give you cash fee to at least lessen the subtraction of your profit/service fee? If you're going to fight against asian with rates, you will lose and it might as well consider sticking to your rate and trust your service. People have a different perspectives view regarding this matter, you cant generalized the situation.

It seems this time they will stop throwing bad words to the Bitcoin and covering fiat for the fraud activities which is through the bank.

However, those statements are very fishy. Who would believe that these have been executed by mistake? If you've seen how JP Morgan as a company check frauds and laundering, it is highly impossible that this $1billion would go through without any verification. That is a very lame excuse. For me, Banks are involved with these and they are also the ones who have the ability to clean the money. A win-win situation for both groups, right?

Just IMO, honestly, China doesn't care what and which technology are they getting patented.
All they have in mind is business. It's all about the business for them. Having patent rights has a very high advantage. You will always make a profit from it,
not just a profit but a very passive profit. Anyway, China is good at technology and they aren't trying hard for that. They can always do it for themselves. But still, business is business when it comes to this matter.  

Chinese is one of the most have a large business through blockchain and through this blog, Report: Blockchain Patents 'Skyrocket' in 2020, Alibaba Owns the Most Crypto Patents that usually have blockchain patent businesses.

It seems he was very active on that social media.
Well for me, Press Trump is in between considering people who were born with silver-spoon and people who have works hard to achieve their financial freedom and power. In business, it is always more scalable to speak with the people with established wealth rather than who are still striving to get there. If I would be Trump, I will barely decide which are the best.

Good execution and long term investments have a major difference that is very vital. The time and the process.

As I see here, even if we turn it upside down, cryptocurrency in 2017 was still a very vulnerable market. SEC just played their part and is trying to avoid people losing their hardly earned their money.

The main reason why SEC is against the cryptocurrency is that ICOs are so easy to manipulate when you're there. And they can also scam people anytime they wanted. And I guess they did the right thing before.  I'm very much passionate about the crypto-industry. And I know there is a lot
of opportunity, this industry will develop slowly.

I tend to agree with you by this statement.
I don't really think the EU has to do something between China and the Philippines. Think first, the Philippines is an independent country. Probably I have doubt that it could be they are just igniting a fire. It seems like the EU is doing something under the table just to be able to be even with their competition. However, China is getting better. To the point that even the EU would create these kinds of penalties.

I'm also not sure why does EU did not investigate further regarding the running admin that the Philippines had. It seems like their puppets has been disconnected from their previous powers and were replace to something that they cannot control, IMO.

@Counterfact
Bear in mind that the 2FA Electrum wallet is different from the Standard wallet Electrum when it comes to fees, it's quite high fees if you are using the 2FA feature of Electrum. I remember when I set up my 2FA Electrum wallet before, I run the Electrum app offline for security safety and then copy the wallet file in an online PC. I don't know if that is still the process of making a 2FA wallet on Electrum.

For a proper guide on suing it, this FAQ might help you to understand more. Electrum FAQs .

If I'm not mistaken, this Kraken exchange was in US based, so how many branches of Kraken are there? It seems they are widely operating their service now, the country of Japan has many crypto enthusiasts traders for sure it has a wide adoption there.

So, in different cities different account isn't it? It means if you have existed account on Kraken and if you want to create account in Karken exchange that Japan based you need to re-submit KYC.

I have doubt this Kraken will compete to Binance exchange soon.

Just try to contact them one by one if they will accept your offer. Because usually as I had heard they accept crypto only but I think your Xbox Game Pass promo code is easy for them to hold, just like holding cryptocurrency.

Here is the list might you can contact them (probably you already know them).

• Recommended bitcointalk escrow services
• Few Trusted Escrow Provider

I don't think if there is still a legit group of trading that legitimate to join. All of them creating a group for their own self interest not by the entire group, even those paid signal group wont really give assurance that you will earn profit on trading, unless if you will make you own proper research regarding your trading activity or which crypto that has a potential to invest.

Trading group isn't bad to join, but don't rely and expect to them on making profit. There are also some instances that this trading group you've joined will mislead you from trading and this might the distraction of your research. Trade your own and have research your own, at least you don't have anything you blame once you have failed.

Yeah, never think this way, you can't consider Bitcointalk is a source of income. Let's find a decent job that has a stable source of income.

Earning something isn't bad, but don't rely on the forum's earning, this was created because of sharing an idea and thought regarding cryptocurrencies issues and blockchain technology stuff. And also be constructively poster than and be useful in the forum then, everything is fine, looking signature that you want to promote is easy for you. If the newbie mindset was here because of the money, they wrong, they will never be grown up here if they will not contribute knowledge/skills to everyone.

Have you tried at least a free Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator?

If you don't want to use CPFP which is the RBF option of boosting transaction, you might use the Bitcoin accelerator, there is free and or the best is you pay an extra fee to accelerate the transactions. You can use either ViaBTC or BTC.com, but this doesn't have any guarantee to fasten the transaction, it will remain on the waiting line to be getting confirmed.

I think there's nothing you can do is to wait when it will confirm. By the next time, even you will pay $4 for a single transaction would be fine as long as you will not wait a long time. If you can see, the market congestion at this moment has been rapidly increased.

Sorry for your loss because the USDT that you have sent to the Coinbase wallet address is gone. As mentioned above, Coinbase has its own stable coin and that is USDC and unfortunately, they didn't support USDT.

This is what the consequences if you aren't read the TOS or even the FAQ on the exchange before using, custodial wallet isn't a problem if you will read first those terms and conditions of the site. Don't expect too much if their support will respond this problem, they might be pointed out the terms if you read properly before using, sounds like, it could be possible a trap for the new users who didn't read the terms.

Based on Coinatmradar.com (the Bitcoin ATM finder) there are 10115 ATM's at this moment in 71 countries, as I captured the image above.

We can determine the growth of Bitcoin machine by showing this chart, it is obviously Bitcoin businesses have been grown, most especially these days there is pandemic and people need to have a cashless transaction and Bitcoin is one of the best options as a payment method. We witnessed the sudden growth of those people who are willing to adopt Bitcoin as their businesses.

Different issues and negative feedback thrown to Bitcoin and the worst is there are several countries banning Bitcoin but despite these obstacles, Bitcoin showing progress.

Thank you for clarification and suggestions upon leaving negative feedback on the Bitcointalk account seller/buyer members. I have tagged 3 newbies accounts before due to account selling and this is what I'd leave, "Bitcointalk Account seller, don't trust this user". Upon seeing your post, it should be a proper leaving of negative and should specify the reason for leaving feedback. Probably it's time to revise them with a proper leaving of negative feedback to serve as a warning to others who read the feedback.

Much better if the flag is included altogether with the negative feedback to the scammer's profile, red-tagging alone sounds like aren't convincing.

I tend to agree, I read this in the article that there are too many Bitcoin addresses that have owned Bitcoin but this isn't active in having transactions. This means they prefer of holding than trading or spending it like purchasing an item online.

Remember that not all traders have this skills on making a profit with high leverage trading, we can't directly point out that leverage trading is a scam but we know this is very risky thing, sound like you've gambled with the high odds that the chances of winning are very slim. Aggressive traders might anticipate this kind of trading, but for me, it's sound greed. But I won't agree that leverage trading is a scam.

You had already said if the crimes towards crypto will decrease in such a country, they will not probably take action on it such as banning.

There's nothing we can do, just wait and hope that they will open their mind that crypto and blockchain technology is very useful when it comes financial system. Yes, that's it, because the government cited often that it's being a threat to traditional monetary systems, they always think like this but the fact, crypto or especially Bitcoin are really no harm.

Just ignore them, we're still thankful that the vast of majority of all most countries are crypto friendly.

BTW, this topic will probably appropriate in Economic board.

Each countries have their own regulations and policies towards Bitcoin, one of the reasons that I have doubt that it is usually based on taxation and the financial system which can be made money laundering, tax evasion throughout the crypto and the possibility of terrorism act that might be funding terrorist needs.

So now, this is might the possible scenario that probably the insight of your government, just like gambling, I had heard that most gambling activity banned in India, whereas trading in crypto and gambling are almost the same. They probably completely regulate those activities but prohibit people using crypto, I don't think so, they will never stop people using it, they had freedom towards that, and masking identity while holding crypto are most crypto enthusiasts can do.

Luckily, my country didn't ban crypto, we're free to use it and besides, SEC warned people the possible consequences upon using it, such as massive loss. There's no need to ban crypto. During this lockdown and amidst pandemic, you can't stop people looking other opportunities or taking risk online.

I hope this is it, the most anticipated to Ethereum volume 2.0. The upgrade of proof of stake from proof of work, this new consensus mechanism will technically help to fasten the transaction and have of the perspective of scalability improvement of the network which pretty good. I'm not good technically but I hope this new update of Ethereum will boost the price and bring the new ATH.

This a great news and it's really needs a new update because the Defi applications projects have been grown. As we witnessed that there is a congestion of transaction recent days ( huge fees )that makes everyone disappoint to Ethereum.

This exposure of post might trigger to scammers to take action, be careful to those who sent you a PM from unknown people on discord, or pretending that they are trusted escrow in the forum or pretending they are the real account one of the trusted escrow here. I suggest PM them directly into their Bitcointalk account for the assurance that the one you talk about isn't the impersonator.

Most active and updated very well, I suggest this thread tho.
