China is said to be Japan's second-largest export destination. It has also been said that Chinese are 30% of what makes up the tourists in Japan. Cancellation of trips incoming and outgoing to China certainly affects its economy, that's why I am under the impression that Tokyo Stocks Exchange (Tosho) will drop even further. The 5-day index shows a 1.48% drop as we speak.
Having said that, we might expect them to look bullish on $BTC until they figure out where else to put the money withdrawn from Tosho. Therefore, I am not buying $BTC at the moment - instead would definitely wait for the dip. CAVEAT.
Interesting theory,but I don't see any panic in the Tokyo Stocks Exchange or any increase of buyer's interest towards Bitcoin,coming from people in Japan.Perhaps they have other options to secure their funds,except BTC.Maybe government bonds and gold.Maybe most of the traders will not withdraw any funds from the Tosho,because they are confident about the corona virus crisis coming to an end soon. |

Do you really think that China needs MONEY(it doesn't matter if it's crypto or fiat),in order to fight the corona virus?The Chinese government has enough resources to fight the virus,donations are not needed.All China needs right now is a working vaccine against the virus.All the pharmaceutical and medical experts in the world have to unite forces and create that vaccine.They don't need any money.

The question "what has bitcoin done for you?" seems wrong for me.Bitcoin is just a tool,I consider bitcoin to be an opportunity that we can take advantage of(if we put enough effort and time into learning and earning).Most of my online income ever since 2016 came in the form of BTC,so I can say that,in one way or another,bitcoin saved my life and helped me escape poverty.

I don't know if those hackers are the real "Anonymous" or some imposters.It's really hard to find out.
What does "exploiting vulnerable crypto markets" mean?What makes a crypto market vulnerable?I guess the article author means crypto exchange platforms with security vulnerabilities.
Nowadays everyone with a brain will not trust such "promises that make everyone rich".

I read the article, how a person of disabilities especially blind person can access Bitcoin. https://coolblindtech.com/developer-making-the-first-bitcoin-wallet-for-the-blind/. Are there any wallets like electrum, ledger or Bitcoin core can access by blind people?. And I am searched about Bitcoin Bitcoin Whitepaper in Braille project, but still not continue or I am missing something?, let's me know, I want to help my friend. Why would a blind person use bitcoin?To buy something?To invest?To trade cryptocurrencies?To gamble,which is impossible,because online crypto casinos and crypto exchange platforms aren't user-friendly,when it comes to blind people.This topic is quite interesting,but I don't see any benefit that bitcoin could possibly bring for the blind people.I've never heard about Icywallet and I don't trust such wallets.Use with caution. |

Market capitalization can be partially useful only,if we use it to measure the value of a company,not a market or an asset. Bitcoin is NOT a company.
The value of a company can be boosted using loans and leverage,so the market cap of the company's stocks can be overvalued.Nevertheless,measuring market cap is completely useless,it's like measuring the amount thin air inside a room.

Some hackers can be dumb.Not using multiple wallets and addresses,not using bitcoin mixers,not dividing a large sum and depositing it into multiple crypto exchange accounts(with different IPs,emails and other data).
This is good news.Every ransomware hacker worldwide has to be punished and his identity has to be revealed.I'm sick and tired of all the "bitcoin-ransomware" FUD that gets spread every day.

I keep seeing the news that "Bitcoin is used for drugs", "Bitcoin is primarily used by thieves" pretty much every other day. The well informed people know that it isnt true but the mainstream media's perception stays the same. How do we change it and can we?
We can't.Bitcoin is really used by the criminals.Fiat is used by the criminals as well,but nobody is talking about it.Only simple minded people care about the mainstream media nowadays.What you call "mainstream media" is just a propaganda machine that serves the rich and powerful elite.Just ignore all the news about bitcoin and move on.This topic has been discussed 100 times here.It's pointless to continue with the same questions. |

After holding the meeting a few days ago, the guys we talked to have been on our nerves. We aren't surprised tho cause we saw it coming. They come with different questions at different tines, phone calls and all, and there's no way we would refuse to continue tutoring them. It's not like I don't have the time but.... Something like this, isn't it worth being paid for? I mean, we informed them for free, and we gained nothing (just went back to our houses) and even after then, they still come with different challenges.
Some of them who were there when we announced the meeting date, they didn't come but still come back individually to request explanations. So I ask, is it wrong to monetize a bitcoin/cryptocurrency seminar/meeting? Cause we've gotten nothing for as long as we've worked.
Well,never share your phone number with many people.That's my first rule.  Second rule-If you wanna tutor those people without having to talk with them,just write everything you have to share in one ebook and share that ebook for free.You can include a "frequently asked questions"(FAQ) chapter in the ebook. There's nothing wrong to charge a fee for your seminars,but your audience will be way less than before. |

Cash App looks very promising.Paypal gets worse every year,with their constantly increasing fees and incredibly weird policies.If you are a business owner accepting payments via Paypal,they basically own your money and you are their slave.It's good to know that PayPal's competitors like Square gain recognition and try to expand into the crypto world by accepting Bitcoin.

Seemingly the latest news of the sudden Dow Jones price drop saga is aimed at "The Corona Virus". A little known about deadly virus causing death and despair. Amazing if true, how a virus can effect the world's economies in such a way? Is it a cover up for something else? As usual any thoughts or comments are more than welcome.
The Corona Virus will hit the Economy of China for sure,but I doubt that it might hit the US or global economy really hard.After one month,the virus will be under control and we will forget about it. By the way,today is Brexit,I don't know if it's going to influence Dow Jones and the global markets,because it was an anticipated event,but the global markets are becoming more and more sensitive about everything that happens around the world. |

You don't have to explain that to a 10 year old boy.10 year old still don't know how bank,fiat money and taxes work.Wait for 3-4 years and then try to explain how the blockchain works.
I have a very oversimplified explanation:The blockchain is just a bunch of servers connected to each other,and every time there's a transaction between person A and person B,all those computers have to confirm the transactions using complex math tasks.Yes,it's oversimplified and kinda wrong,but a 10 year old might get it.

It's time for revenge.We should create some jokes about gold.
"I didn't forget where I buried my gold.My gold forgot where it was buried!"
"I have gold,but my bank don't wants to give it to me.They forgot my password."
"I have gold,but no Mcdonalds or KFC accepts gold payments,so I'm starving to death."

Counterfeit currency in the form of $1 bills?That's weird. Usually the criminals print fake paper money with a way bigger value. I expect that the Chinese secret services or the Hong Kong Mafia have something to do with this. Hiding such big amount of paper in a rail container that's about to be inspected by the US customs,seems very amateurish move from a spy or a gangster.  |

If crypto exchanges include such "anti-mixer" rule in their Terms of service,we have no choice but to follow this rule.With all the regulations and KYC,the crypto exchanges don't want "dirty money" in their wallets,so it's normal for them to ban transactions coming from BTC mixing services,because someone,who uses a mixer service clearly has something to hide.There's no other reason to use a Bitcoin mixer.

The claim that a large number of institutional investors are interested into buying Bitcoin futures was just hype and propaganda.The Bakkt hype is over and I couldn't care less about this project. Bitcoin core is strong, with or without Bakkt.We should never rely on the mercy of a bunch of institutional investors to pump/dump the price.We already have crypto whales,which is the sad truth.  Only mass adoption will liberate the bitcoin price from manipulations. |

I don't advise other people to buy anything(including cryptocurrencies).
If some people really think that bitcoin is "expensive",why don't they just buy 0.001 BTC.
There is a learning curve in crypto trading,and every trader should lose some money in order to gain knowledge and experience about the crypto markets.It's like every business,you have to lose some money,before you start making money.

Damn,McAfee is actually active on Twitter,replying to comments under his tweet.This guy has a lot of free time to waste on social media.I think he's a keyboard warrior now. He might be creating his own shitty "McAffeecoin".That's why he is hating on BTC. Be ready for his next prediction:"My own altcoin will hit 1M USD or I will eat my dick!" |

If I understand this correctly,the City stores cannot REFUSE to accept cash,according to the Council's decision.They can still accept credit/debit cards and mobile app payments.They just don't have to right to deny cash payments.I think this is a good decision.A 100% cashless society means less freedom of choice.
I'm not a fiat supporter but the people have to choose what payment method to use.Their choice shouldn't be limited.

You need to have clear Terms of Service stating that you are not responsible,if the client sends you wrong BTC address.What if this client already received the BTC in his wallet and now he is trying to scam you by forcing you to send the same amount of BTC to his wallet again.
By the way,may I ask what is your business?What product or service are you providing?
