Interesting stats and am guessing this achievement is evident that the digital world is swiftly catching up with most industries which includes the entertainment gambling industry and users around the world are gambling less from brick and mortar and doing this more online as it allows us to have more time for other errands.

AFAIK usually these pullbacks are caused by

• the usual price corrections
• traders selling more of the coin than the can buy...keeping crypto in the red
• possibly someone trying to manipulate the btc price with their huge stash of coins

But from what I found the recent pullback is being speculated that it was apparently caused US Federal Reserve chairman's remarks and I find it weird we are always out looking for a reason why something happened.

Zicadis thanks for explaining how the escrow process works but I think OP misunderstood what legendsters question was...because I myself didn't catch that and should be rephrased.

From my view, I understand question was suppose to read out as " OP does your PR service accept escrow for your clients?" [

This is something that is more likely to stimulate demand of crypto and am hoping more countries make it tax exempt

Totally agree, and at this juncture the US are now trying to play catchup to have the same economic benefit as others using these cryptocurrencies...maybe the reason we are now getting news of the regulators having another review of how crypto is treated to stimulate it's use(win-win for the US).

Fake transactions no ways!

This is not fiat were we have problems of counterfeit notes and the alike.

With cryptocurrencies anything fake coins means altcoins and bitcoin BTC is the only coin which is not an alt, so to have fake transactions that would mean having another blockchain.

If a project is not doing fine or not meeting it's sales or whatever it is they do then yes it's necessary to engage in some form of marketing....

and a bounty campaign fyi is one form of marketing to help the project to get more exposure for both new and established companies.

All this looks good

but my observation from fake projects busting is that scammers always get the whitepapers wrong and that should be a starting point to do a personal whitelisting to avoid investing your/our precious time, otherwise all this listed is a good way to pick out ptojects likely to succeed.

True, there aren't too many DEXs that can be relied upon to be the perfect alternative to centralized exchanges, so for now the shine still remains with the CEX.

And the worst part about a DEX is that its limited to a specific blockchain which doesn't allow for easy trade to get a different crypto coin...guess too many limitations to be used.

On the security side of things, isn't having instant withdraws the source of problems when it comes to these service providers getting hacked AFAIK these days it's nolonger an instant process because withdraws go through manual checks before they authorize the withdrawal.....unless otherwise, I stand to be corrected.

Don't know how Griezmann crashed this party without having played a game at the Camp Nou but from the look of things, this is something you catch once you go to Barca and it's trending....

So who is next in line....Messi maybe ?? Ummh Never, not even China has anything on this guy.

The article says otherwise because should cryptocurrencies be categorized as securities then this catchup the US is trying to archive will not be possible and they will keep falling back.

My only worry is hoping not to see our regulators rush this process and get it wrong, maybe its better to have it considered as both a virtual currency and an asset with conditions attached to its classification.

Has anybody tried VanitySearch 1.15 , I kept getting access denied when trying to create a Vanity Address after using this code >> E:\Vanity>vanitysearch.exe -stop -o save.txt 3XXX <<< even after running CMD as an administrator 

FYI reverting back to Version 1.14 seems to run without a problem  ,Am I doing something wrong or version 1.15 is bugged?

I guess the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is what am looking at atm.

At the least how did they get game-protect to accept to be used as an escrow, when this escrow service is not even part of what is offered by this user based on their thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1535816.0

And not to mention the active flag that warns us of the possibility of losing money was this ignored

I don't like to read such articles because they are always trying to pull bitcoins name in this mess created by regulated organisations....

If there is a culprit in the flow of money then this should be sorted out by the banks as they are the custodians and weakest link, for goodness sake they better integrate address verifications, 2fa and all relevant measures to sweep out the mess.

Congratulations to you and Nadia!

Will you be taking WO with you to your honeymoon  

Trying to make this sound like a small issue, its not!

FYI If permission from owner or source is not mentioned anywhere it is plagiarism and it's something that's serious around here!

As a matter of fact the plag is pretty much not just the format, the content too.

Free advice to anyone applying wait for funds to be escrowed

In as much as these two have been put in the spotlight, Frank Lampard is less experienced than Solskjaer and is bound to make mistakes. If a wager is put on who gets the boot first, i would say Lampard sees the door first.

And in as much as Manchester  United are desperate to get back to winning ways Solskjaer is a special one and will be around for quite a while.

Btw what do you think of the 126 million euro teenager signing (Currently 5th most expensive)??

What does this mean for the upcoming young talents, are we going to be seeing $300 million broken ??

With reference to the subject above I am interested to know why signature campaign managers aren't merit sources by default?

I know for a fact that one of the few people that read most of our posts around the forum are SM's(fact) but why aren't they merit sources by default?? I see most of the merit sources to have a certain niche which is commendable but this cuts out most members as no one is in their circle.

As a matter of fact  you can only get merit this time around if you are in merit sources niche which usually falls under being a technical person, speak a certain language or at least remained an active member for a long time, anything outside this is for your eyes only which ultimately leaves an empty void.

AFAIK anything out of this means you have slim to no chances to earn merit which I honestly think SM's can bridge the gap as we need more eyes to encourage users to contribute positively towards the forum, besides SM's know the spammers and will give merit on merit basis .

NB: this default merit source should only be  available to those that have proved without reasonable doubt that the hold high standards in how they go on with their business and have shown commitment to uphold forum rules and of course been on the forum for at least a certain number of years to be considered a merit source.
 
"A problem shared is a problem solved," what do others think?

I wouldn't bank on this that the bank has the intention of going crypto in the good spirit of staying up to par with technology, honestly this is more of a business strategy to benefit itself themselves. And as a matter of fact going cashless can mean many things and not exclusive to crypto use .

BTW going digital means laying off some workers(employees) and  more money generation for the bank which is more of a win to the bank itself and a lose -win to us as friends and family or ourselves lose our jobs...unless the CEO sees crypto in their banking models.

If the project or product is shit, then the whole ecosystem of this project is shit which includes its token(coin)!

This basically works on the concept of two wrongs don't make it right and this remains to be the case.

Honestly I don't believe in your theory because coin performance is the reflection of the project/product. If project is so good it should have no problem of getting investor support as these guys are not short sighted, they pretty much understand this ecosystem could be a long term arrangement and aren't petty about volatility.
