It's the same group that wanted to stop the release of The Interview movie. You know the one where they kill Kim in the end Cheesy
They hacked some servers and released private emails but the movie still got released.

 NK is such a sad country threatening huffing and stomping like an angry child. If they invested in cryptocurrencies years ago they wouldn't have to worry about poverty and sanctions now.
4102  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Thoughts on the QuadrigaCX CEO suspicious death??? on: March 29, 2019, 08:09:18 PM
Not a victim, but yea, it's too shady to actually be true(though I'm not claiming it's not true). Basically, the CEO, which is already ill in the first place, still didn't decide to actually hand over the private keys to another person, or better, use a multi-sig; then, he allegedly "died" in India whereas the place he died in is allegedly a place where fake death certificates are being made(I have no proof, don't quote me on this).

For the whole situation, if anything, it's either fraud, or them being super unprofessional and irresponsible.

He did hand over some of them to his wife who was lying about all keys being lost. There was a transaction from one of the addresses owned by the exchange made by her after his death. She is involved in all of this and he probably isn't dead. Or he is dead and she lied about keys being lost along with him. They are both in it together or she is I'm sure of it.

NK is so poor that they are probably trying to make money this way. Crypto entrepreneurs are usually rich and like to tell the world about their profits on social media where they become a target for hackers. Years ago they even blackmailed Roger Ver.

NK is so poor that even 1 bitcoin is a fortune to them. They are dreaming of the days where they will no longer have to eat stew of rice and grass every day. Cheesy

Chinese exchanges were faking volume since they entered the market and there was a shitstorm where their government intervened and shut most of them down in 2014. Some moved to Hong Kong. Do you believe they simply abandoned their old tactic and played fair from that moment? There are exchanges that play fair and those that don't.
4105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin Movie ‘Crypto’ Shows Hollywood’s Total Misguidedness on: March 29, 2019, 06:19:28 PM
And what about all those movies where people steal money from banks and run away with bags of cash leaving behind clueless cops? How many times does something like that happen in the real life?

It's nice they made a movie about crypto because it will for sure raise public awareness. People who never knew a thing about crypto will research it and maybe even use it.
4106  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-28]Apple Launches Credit Card, What Does It Mean for Crypto? on: March 28, 2019, 10:58:15 PM
I didn't understand it completely.

Is it a credit card or is it a crypto card, or both? If it is only a CC then it doesn't affect crypto. They will be competing with the banks. If they make the card crypto ready, then it is good for us. More adoption is always good.

It's nothing more than a loyalty program that will offer payback points and will be usable only if you want to buy Apple products. They are saying they will integrate it with crypto payments later but nobody knows how long it will take. It looks like they are using promises of crypto transactions to promote an ordinary card with a very limited spending.

Do any of you buy at Apple Store often enough to justify getting a personalized card?
4107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP FOLLOWING BITCOIN WITH SENTIMENTS! on: March 28, 2019, 10:49:47 PM

I remember reading a chainanalysis blog post few months back where they have analyzed the bitcoin usage trend of the most wealthiest whales and proved that they are accumulating bitcoins in small quantities and not really manipulating the market. Read it from the below link,

I agree. The market that we are watching on the charts is manipulated but most whales trade OTC. If the news are true only a very little coins is traded on the exchanges and it's always the same coins bought and sold over and over. One thing that influences the charts is the miners selling because most of them do it on exchanges. The other is people who bought years ago and got tired of waiting or have things to buy. Rich people are buying.
4108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DO WE REALLY NEED MORE STABLE COINS? on: March 28, 2019, 10:34:40 PM
for now the community does not need stable coins. the reason is because the market still needs growth to be coins that have volatility preferred. stable coins it's hard to make a profit.

We do need stablecoins and their popularity proves it. They are being used every day by thousands of people. The problem with them is that we can't trust some of them and if one shows that it's vulnerable or shady people would have something to turn to.

USDT is still very popular even after they admitted to not having all the money to back up their coins. Who knows how much they are making out of nothing.

boy we do not attract investors through this topic we have enough of them and we also have enough people on the channels, we just share our achievements in this area

So why not pump it yourself? Why use fake accounts to make it look like there's attention where there is none? If you have investors it's good for you but this whole thread looks like a scam and you're not even trying to prove that it isn't. I hope that people reading this thread will do research before giving you any money.

Coin sell orders in the 6000 sat range. 10000 for a masternode. Buys in the 4 and 5 thousand range have bern filled though.

I invite all People to join this great company, they have a great project.!!!

This coin is gathering momentum now and I like it that there are plenty of pools mining it. I think the act that it is under a million coins really goes into it's favor as a rare collectible coin. I think in the future it would be good to add a shop with FUSIONX collectibles and a PHYSICAL coin maybe silver and gold coins..This is just an idea..Oh and I blogged about it today too..

First post and already shilling with full force. Anytime you see someone doing it you know it has to be a shady business. What's up OP? Not enough people ready to give up their money so you have to bump the thread with fake accounts? Next time be less obvious. You even registered 2 of them on March 17. And those names Cheesy

4111  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-26]Why Cryptocurrency & Banks are Inseparable on: March 27, 2019, 09:23:15 PM
Somebody from JP Morgan is talking about crypto again and its connection to banks. The same JP Morgan that was supposed to fire every employee caught trading crypto.
This is getting more funny by the day. They are cooking something in that bank because lately they are almost as much in the crypto media as any other crypto company.

There are many fraudulent companies today. This is partly due to the lack of regularization of the sector, partly because once a Bitcoin payment is made it is impossible to cancel it.

Many is an understatement. It's going to be very very hard to find 1 cloud mining company that you can invest in and get a profit in 1 year. 9 out of 10 will scam you right away and that last one will give you a 2 or 3 year contract after which you'll find out that if you bought and held you'd have similar profit without any risk.
4113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCap faking volume on: March 27, 2019, 09:01:34 PM
Why are some of you saying it's a scam. They aren't scamming they are publishing the data given to them by the exchanges. They are allowing you to see it all together and compare. They aren't responsible for being lied to by the exchanges.

I don't understand why most of the hate is directed towards CMC instead of the exchanges who are lying to their customers.
4114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jihan Wu is no longer CEO of Bitmain on: March 27, 2019, 08:44:47 PM
They have already assigned a new ceo Mr. haichao wang. But juhan wu is still appointed as a director of the company along with micree zhan the other co founder of bitmain.
So it looks like it was a push of the others who hold stocks in the company which made juhan leave as ceo.
There was some stink following Jihan after that BCH move that costed the company a lot of dough. It was a smart move to appoint a new face but it's all this new CEO is gonna be. The real founders of the company will keep managing from backstage. I don't think any coin will get dumped after this.
4115  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you need cash for everyday use? on: March 27, 2019, 07:21:26 PM
Right now yes we need cash for our daily life because right now we couldn't use crypto to pay for everything,
We aren't in a cashless society so we would still need it,But if we could pay everything with our crypto currency then I guess I could say good bye for Fiat .
Besides I always misplace my wallet and lose some cash,So it would really be great if I could just use my phone to pay for everything.

You did not understand the question. It's not about crypto vs fiat it's about cash vs cashless payments.
We don't need cash as long as card payments are accepted and they are. I don't use cash. I carry some with me but I almost never pay. I just have it in case the terminal at a store or a restaurant doesn't work.
4116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DO WE REALLY NEED MORE STABLE COINS? on: March 26, 2019, 11:00:22 PM
We don't need stable coins at all but if we have 1 we should have more. I know it's a strange explanation but this is the truth.
We don't need them because people should be able to spend fiat not hide behind tokens that are centralized and backed by words. We saw how much these words are worth when usdt said they aren't 100% backed.

We should have more coins to allow the market to weed out liars and scammers. This is impossible without competition.
4117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BSV] [Bitcoin SV] Original Satoshi Vision on: March 26, 2019, 10:53:17 PM
This is pathetic, I have witnessed first-hand the countless attacks on twitter crypto community against Craig Wright. People are crazy, it's a shame to see their childish behaviour and total lack of respect. Read Craig Wright's work, the 3/4 of half of these morons parasitic will never understand anything, the other half are bots, but for the others they will move on. I read here the term idocracy seems to correspond to the climate. Instead of being supportive and advancing the research, the guys are out there sucking their dick on the networks and eating their own  shit. Unity is strength and assholes divide it!

People who are criticizing Dr Craig are idiots and don't know what they are saying. Or they are bots! Nobody in their right mind would say anything bad about the founder of the real Satoshi's Vision coin, the true bitcoin. All this trolling can't have anything to do with our great founder claiming to be Satoshi but failing to prove it by moving coins or signing  genesis addresses. It also can't have anything to do with BSV losing value all the time.
4118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling.. way to loss on: March 26, 2019, 10:43:19 PM
You can't put all gambling in the same basket. I think that the easiest way to lose is to play online without limits and choose the most random game like roulette or slots. If you choose as skill based game like poker your chances will improve. If you want them to improve even more go to a physical casino. If all people were losing at gambling nobody would play.
4119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pension funds bringing money to Bitcoin. on: March 26, 2019, 10:38:55 PM
This will be a big risk to take for them but I'm thinking of too many insurance companies rising out there so the competition for them is also big. We cannot deny the fact that there is money in cryptocurrency, if they are fighting for the survival of their companies then why not widen their options. I'm seeing it like that but to make it happen, that would be a very brave decision for them.

Many pension funds provided by the government are already slowly going bankrupt. They only exist because there's always an influx of new people paying up. It will be enough for them to no longer be forced to pay their pension tax and they will collapse.
Pension funds have to take risks these days because the inflation is making them lose a lot of money.
4120  Economy / Speculation / Re: what will make bitcoin price to brake its all time high on: March 25, 2019, 10:03:12 PM
Many things. Adoption is one of them and adoption is higher now than it was at the peak of the last bull market. Transaction cost is lower and transaction speed is higher. We also have a much greater wallet availability and the price is still much lower. It's because of fear.

If we managed to get rid of fear that the market is struggling with the price would go up.
