While some may see it as too strict if you were to look at all the spam on the boards, by people that were JR members and mostly spamming due to sig campaigns it makes sense to see that they've enacted commonsense rules on the boards in order to weed these people out. This had to happen at some point, as this board was just a spam fest for cash.
We'll see if any changes will come from thymos, maybe at some point if they earn their stuff back.

And now we're on the downtrend for a little time, I really don't know when the people who believe in TA analysis are going to understand that it doesn't work in any market let alone in a market that can be controlled as much as Crypto. So I think the people who beleive in TA are going to have to lose a good amount more money in order to understand that it doesn't work and they've been gipped into thinking that it does work.
We'll see more and more in time of TA being dealt fatal blows. When the market is moving up charters call for the market to continue doing this, when it goes down the opposite happens. So yeah, they don't know a thing.

This is just like any market, when the times are good people are praising the market, praising the tech, praising the charts and praising EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY. But when things start going downhill everything goes the other way, people are finding out about hacks, bugs, etc. I mean, you expect for that to happen. People want a reason for the market to be moving mass amounts, and the market gives them that reason -- even if they're not giving a truthful reason when they give it. Based on the above reasoning, we can conclude that every news in the media can be bought. What prices are there for news that can affect exchange rates so much?
And of course this, the media can be bought to influence the sheep. There's no such thing as reputable news today.

Saying that one house was bought is a lot different from saying that YOU CAN NOW BUY A HOUSE IN BRITAIN using bitcoin because that simply isn't true. If you to to a thousand homes that are for sale in Britian right now I'd doubt that you'll find one that you can buy with anything other then a mortgage and cash, let alone using this crazy bitcoin thing.
While I do like bitcoin, I don't support fake news.

Pretty bad news for crypto, as it makes everyone look bad involved. Continues to fuel the narrative that bitcoin and the crypto community is dominated by scammers, drug dealers, criminals, thieves, etc. Though at least news like this came out so that the problem can be solved and peoples computers aren't be fucking for some people that want to make a small amount of money from each person infected.
Horrid shit though. Curious on how much these people made though, as I doubt they'd be able to make much if people didn't notice for too long while they browsed sites.

Huge news though I wouldn't go to trusting Coinbase until it's done, any big company is going to want to make the news for doing things but who knows if they'll ever deliver. It's taken them WAYYY too long to support Segwit which could've been saving them money, and the network from congestion for a longtime now.
I'll await them actually going live with segwit.

I think those are good news because Robinhood is a very large platform so it will attract a lot of traders to crypto world. It will probably put a big fight to the current crypto exchanges, because as far as I know, Gdax is the only crypto exchange that also offer zero fees, and it's only available for "makers", and not "takers". Although it's easy to trade with no fees there, specially if you do swing trades, the ability to completely trade with no fees is much more appealing. To bad they only have a mobile service but it's still good.
As for how it will affect the price I don't know. The news are "old" now, so it won't have any impact on the price right now. It could if their current customers start buying crypto to trade, but it should have a small impact, because traders keep buying and selling, so we everything will stay the same.
I mean yeah the news is old now but once more and more news comes out saying that Robinhood is allowed to trade in more states then we should start seeing a bump in price and a bump in competiton in this marketplace. I'm expecting for GDAX to beef up their support and lower trading fees in order to fight with Robinhood over customers, cause I'd rather go with Robinhood if it was supported in my state. Waiting to see some more reviews on their platform as GDAX as treated me well though. We'll see in time how it is!

Not really a big fan of people asking questions like this, because no one here (nor no one in the world) really knows what's going to happen during a year in Crypto. Some people, without a doubt may have a role in influencing the price of bitcoin and the other cryptos through news, mass amounts of money, and some other things. But there is no way that even they know how much of an influence they're going to be able to place on Bitcoin, so it's not like they'll know either.
SO WHO KNOWS DUDE!

Congrats man, It's wonderful seeing everyone do well with their crypto earnings and seeing people cashing out with the money that they've made. Could I ask what you did in crypto to make these earnings? I would expect Bitcoin and some other altcoin trading though who knows, people are pretty creative these days in their money making ways.
Awaiting your answer!

Lets just setup some rules and facts about Bitcoin. For starters, Bitcoin isn't anonymous -- everything is on the blockchain for everyone to see, so if you're not careful about the way in which you ensure that no one knows that address is yours then people are going to be able to know who you are. Being anonymous with Bitcoin is very hard.
Next, NEVER take a loan / borrow money in order to buy bitcoin. Once you buy you can pretty much assume that the money is gone, nothing else and nothing more. Bitcoin is speculation, you would have to be a fool to borrow money, buy bitcoin, lose it all and then you're fucked.

I mean while it does sound good on paper, I don't think it's really something that can come to fruition due to the nature of bitcoin. Once it's sent it's gone so people aren't even able to do anything if you lend them money and they default then you're shit out of luck. The only thing that is going to work is if collateral is provided But I don't see a future of lending in Crypto if there isn't massive amounts of paperwork, centralized authority, and garnishments of wages if you don't pay your debts.
It's something that banks and lawyers would have to get into. Don't know how it would work in the crypto space.

If I was his place, I would have remained invested and purchased the whole company after 10 years. That will be possible when Bitcoin reaches 10 million mark or more in future. I don't know how people even think like this, do you really think it's possible for Bitcoin to reach 10m per coin or is that just a weird joke that everyone goes ahead and says. If Bitcoin was to go that high it would need pretty much everyone involved in traditional markets, banks, governments, etc to go ahead and invest in Bitcoin for it to even COME CLOSE TO THAT MARK. It would never do such a thing because people would just be insanely rich when they bought at low amounts. It would make little to no sense. I'll say that the story from CNBC is pretty cool though, glad to see people doing well with their bitcoin riches!

Nope, you can't take either one of these shills seriously. McAffe has been doing his bullshit coin of the week, or day, or month or whatever he's doing now as a pump and dump thing for himself and his supporters. Getting involved with him is just a waste of your money, your time, and your dignity as you're going to end up losing out to this shitty dude.
Fuck the people that make crypto look bad and are just here to scam people. They should be punished for their crimes.

Paxful or LocalBitcoins. Though for these services you must know that you're going to be the seller in all encounters, and with this selling, you're going to get the ability of people defrauding you due to the scammy nature of the withdrawal methods you put forward. I'd follow what other sellers are doing on these sites and reserve caution.
Goodluck dude! It's a tough world when you get involved with Paypal and Bitcoin mixing -- though it can be profitable if PayPal doesn't ban you and price fluctuations don't fuck you.

Personally I don't really care too much. Let's take Kyber as an example. They have Vitalik as an advisor which bought them a lot of hype in the ICO stage but since then you really wouldn't have any idea that he was an advisor. Ultimately a project will be evaluated on the final release and an advisor won't have too much say or input in to this, they might help navigate a few situations but won't make a bad project in to a good one.
This is what I mean when I spoke before, advisors can be used to hide a company (or in this case, a coins) failure at having any value at all. So if the coin in question is simply stacking advisors, it'd be fair to notice that they might just not have anything going on and might screw you due to them not having a working product and just wanting the hype to make a couple bucks. Don't put all your trust and faith in a couple peoples faces, names, and titles. It could all be a sham anyway.

If a high amount of people actually ending up losing their crypto then people would fill the void and develop software to try to help people get back into their wallets, as people may have some remembrance of what their encrypted password may be but not the whole thing. So there is a market there if a ton of people were not responsible and lost their coins.
But yes, it is fair to highlight something in crypto which could lead to a downfall. If everyone loses their coins what happens? I mean while unlikely it would just remove the value from crypto.
Though if some people just lose their coins, it then increases the value as there is less in supply. So it can go both ways depending on how many coins are lost and if there is still a demand for them at the time of loss.

I've probably put in the realm of 5 percent, though at my age it's fair to put in such an amount because I can tolerate the loss. I wouldn't think that people in their 60s would throw a high percentage of their net worth into crypto because they're going to be relying on this money soon enough. 20 percent is a pretty high amount, it'd be worthwhile if you shared your age with everyone here so we knew what you can tolerate (risk wise) at that age.
Goodluck dude, hope the market treats ya well.

Being a newbie account is going to make this hard for people to rally trust you in any way, shape, or form. So would it be possible for you to show some proof of any sort of ownership and the accounts in your chats being real? As I would think that making fraudulent telegram accounts isn't too hard these days.
Show some proof or people are going to call you out on fraud, it's that simple. If you want even PM me with the info if you don't want to show it publicly.

Out of everything in Crypto, yes without a doubt (this is my opinion) Everything else in Crypto at the moment (besides ETH, and XMR) are coins that really have no purpose at all. They're not doing anything, and they're only priced high due to people just pumping the shit out of them through trading and the fake news.
So yes, if you're here for the super long haul just stick with bitcoin and you'll MOST LIKELY do good in the long haul. Goodluck!

While they're doing this, you must note that they're not going to be really getting into this until a couple years. They even said that it's going to be less than 1 percent of Samsung revenues, so they do know that it's not like they're going to make an insane amount of money from this. I think, as with anything with mentioning crypto, that they're getting into the game for publicity sake, as once you mention anything crypto or blockchain to investors you seem to get a mass amount of stock increases in price.
Cool, but not as cool as everyone in Crypto is making it out to be.
