Being 2020, another factor could be because of the recent DeFi hype. It's said that a good amount of bitcoins got tokenized on the Ethereum network and got locked up. This can affect the amount of bitcoins kept in exchanges as some people are looking to make quick profits from DeFi projects, Around 133,405 BTC ($1,557,885,255) as of today according to btconethereum.com has been tokenized on Ethereum network. 130k BTC may seem little compared to bitcoins circulating supply but when we look at the actual number of Bitcoins that are actively traded and transferred daily between exchanges, then the amount starts to look significant  Source: https://btconethereum.com |

2 BTC got locked, by localbitcoins.com they they unauthorized loging, and require things I can not provide, because we dont have that in our country.
Localbitcoins and Paypal are creepy scammers companies.
What exactly are they requiring you to send, that you cannot? Most of the time, services like these ask for documentation, or your countries equivalent. For example, on another unrelated example, when applying for a job they may ask for your tax code, this varies per country, and sometimes UK based companies ask for your national issue number, while American companies ask for your social security number. There is probably an alternative option for you, just ask them. There is a high probability that @it_head was asked for extra documentation that he can not access or provide it. In the new verification policy, Localbitcoins asks for way too much verification as compared to other exchanges and this probably got him stuck. This is an overview of what localbitcoins requires verifying and account; 1. Full name
2. Country of residence
3. Email address
4. Phone number
5. Physical address
6. ID verification
7. KYC info
9. Proof of residence
10. Extra ID verification https://localbitcoins.net/blog/id-verification-update/During the process of verification, one will be asked lots of questions such as what they do, source of income, what the bitcoins acquired from localbitcoins for, annual income range etc |

He ignores it...won't answer/ cant give a statement because there was no wrong/illegal activity in my account. They are just SCAM.
It's sad that you just realized that they are scammers after they played your money. These 1xbet/1xbit guys have always been scammers from the word go. Just search "1xbit scam" online and see how many complaints come up in the results.... Hundreds! A greater percentage of the victims have tried to complain until they have had to give up without getting compensated |

You should consider using a much better p2p exchange like Localcryptos. All the process of sending the transaction to the escrow address and withdrawing is completely under your control. Even the fees you choose to spend in the transactions is all up to you. Localbitcoins can easily frustrate you one day with their KYC that seems to have been very strict of late.

"Unfortunately" Steven Steiner alias BayAreaCoins has to give back his Federal Firearm License now together with all of his toys, because with his continuous cyber harassment he has proven to be mentally not worth of keeping it. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was very interested in my report. BTW, it doesn’t have a local Arkansas FFL, at least according to puplicly available infos. I would say, the (shooting-)game is now over, BayAreaCoins! I'm soooo sorrrrrryyyyy!  Forgive me if I am a little misinformed but isn't sharing such information here a.k.a Doxing against the forum rules. Shouldn't this be published in the Investigations Board? |

Firstly, this browser is really one of the fastest and with the least amount of ads.
Not after binance acquire it. They turned into another greedy browser. Why would i use a browser that even advertises on my homepage by default? This browser allows you to make money by watching ads, there is little money, yes, but even though no one forces you to do it, if you want - you can watch ads and earn, if you don't want - don't do it, but point it to other people on the forum here - very silly. This is every person's decision.
Is there need to insult the other person because of their opinion or review? Truth is watching ads is a waste of time. You forget the internet data and time one wastes trying to watch ads. Is it worth the rewards? |

Your question isn't that clear. Do you mean passphrase? I have never heard of "Paraphrase when it comes to electrum or even other wallets. If someone knows your passphrase and has access to your computer then that means they can be able to access your account, transaction details, addresses, private keys, seed phrases and also spend your coins. If someone knows your bitcoin address, there's nothing you can do. Everything is recorded on the blockchain and publically be viewed by anybody using a bitcoin explorer. Create a new wallet and move your finds to a new address with a different seed phrase and passphrase.

interestingly in January they talked about this possibility, in fact from what I read at the time it was almost certain that Solskjaear would not continue as manchester united coach, and here he is as manchester united coach even if manchester united has a poor performance. i usually say that manchester united was in a good position last season because of luck
Why not? Bruno Pernandez always saved the day with at least one spot kick  But this season, things are going to be much more different. The opposing teams will be much aware of how often United are awarded penalties and they will be trying to work on avoiding conceding any. If Solskjaear keeps his job this season, then I will be sure he's going to be around for a while. |

@Bustadice
Your Terms of Service claim that players from France, Netherlands, and USA are restricted from playing at Bustadice. I was able to enter your site and register accounts with IPs from all 3 countries. My thoughts are that if a certain country is restricted, there should be automatic IP blocks when someone tries to use your services from those locations. You don't seem to have any IP blocks.
I don't know if it depends on the type of VPN but whenever i try to access bustadice when I have forgotten to turn off my VPN especially if the IP address is off a restricted country. This is what i get and it goes on forever. I always thought it was a way of avoiding people who use VPN from accessing bustadice.  Until I turn off the VPN, that's when I am able to access the website and be able to pretty much do anything. Luckily my area is not restricted. |

Always happens when you are one of the highly trusted members in the community especially if you have a couple of service you offer in the forum. They will look for all avenues of trying to make use of your name to scam innocent partners. Is there a possible way to report profiles that impersonate or scam in telegram like on Twitter?
I am not a regular Telegram user but I could help report the profile if it's possible so that it gets deletedYou can report a scam account impersonating you to this profile on telegram https://t.me/notoscamYou can also consider sending an email to abuse@telegram.org about the relevant details. These should get the fake account taken down to protect other members from such scams. Is it just for the person being impersonated or anybody else can report? |

The site is still new so there is no one who report and make a review against the exchange. As a user say above when you googling the review for this exchange the site's review just tell the exchange is safe for any malware but we don't in the other factor. I feel sorry for your loss, you have to make this incident aas your learning in the future. Never trust your money to the new exchange, just choose an exchange which has many user.
Sometimes Newbies are too lazy to do some research, For example in @Vickyalmighty's case. He only got to know that this thread that even has warnings about the scam existed only after getting scammed. If he had googled before sending those scammers the Bitcoins. He won't have been scammed. All he had to do was just type "bitextrum exchange" in the search bar he would see some earlier threads from bitcointalk talking about the scam  |

My account is in the same condition as yours, they made me submit the pdf, I got frozen for $ 7000, this is the worst exchange, kyc is just an excuse for them to steal traders' assets .
Sorry about the experience. $7,000 is a lot of money and I hope they are fair and release your assets otherwise HitBTC is one of the worst exchanges around. They hide behind the stupid KYC policies and selectively scam people. I hope it's the last time you are suing their service |

Anyway, the best thing is that these users should get red trust not ban probably so that he can't join any bounty projects and people will be wary on users with red trust. This is the way now we can see to exercise the use of red trust from DT members.
Scam is not moderated in the forum anyway meaning scammers won't get banned so yeah, it's the duty of members to tag the scammer profiles. Not just DT members. |

WARNING ⚠
This project is scam and they Plagiarized a whitepaper - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277113Promoting scam is not allowed here in the Bitcointalk community. Any profile that continues to promote scam will be given a negative feedback without fear, favor or mercy!
Don't say I didn't warn you. |

I contacted the Manager of the company about the suspicion of a Scam. He replied as follows (quote):
"Do or not is up to you.
But the DRK team already sent DRK & TRON coin to us, so we still running bounty program."
It doesn't matter if the DRK team sent to them the tokens or not, the fact is they are still promoting scam. Do you have a link to the so-called manager's profile? Edit: Seen it. Also people promoting the scam should be tagged. Why are they promoting scam even after seeing the warnings? I am going to post a huge warning in the thread and give them a couple of days to stop promoting scam or else they get negative tags |

I'm damned surprised that Yobit is still in business, and I'm wondering how long they're going to last.
Not only just Yobit, the other Unpopular scam exchanges that are still operating are HitBTC and Livecoin. I have never used Livecoin but I have ever used HitBTC and Yobit before totally abandoning them. One thing I noted about both exchanges is their abnormally high withdrawal and trading fees as compared to other exchanges. So I guess they survive through those abnormal fees, and I am pretty sure their listing fees could be ridiculously high too. That, and selectively scamming people keeps them a float |

Someone was asking a question about trading a few days ago - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279857. Maybe you can get some helpful links in there. Risk Management should be on top of your list. That should be easy to look up on YouTube and a few blogs. Always use low leverage as a beginner x5 Max. Binance, Bitmex and Bybit have some very good articles about futures trading. Just check out their blogs. Good luck on your new Journey. |
