Ignoring unsolicited and unfamiliar emails is the key.

I used to receive random emails ever before the crypto's popularity and I applied that principle until now. Those email signs up and redirect, you should never click any of them or input important information that you don't want to share.

You have to read the whole sentences made by op before ending up with these questions.

@op If you have an income tax with that percentage do you think that your government will not enforce a law for taxing crypto profits? they might consider you taxable in the future if changes come by if ever you choose to keep your money with stable coins or any crypto of your choice.

Keeping it at your own vault is what's on my mind too. As for the offshore bank accounts, I don't have an experience with it but it's likely that they can't share your information unless there's an order from international court or something like that.

It isn't that much for a giveaway but it's still free money from him and only one winner so it doesn't have to be divided into many winners. Well, he sure knows how to market and everything he's getting the attention of the people, he always get in.

Just like these announcements and giveaway thingy.

It's outside of Coinbase jurisdiction if the reason of a user's emptied wallet was due to his negligence and that's what we can see here. It's either OP was hacked or he logged in to a fake coinbase / phishing link.

There is no way that Coinbase will return the lost funds if it's his fault.

Lock the other thread that you just made, you probably didn't notice it or either your internet connection isn't good.

Giving a hardware wallet as a gift is good but for me, it would become totally useless if you're giving to the wrong person. As much as possible give it to the people that are aware of how to own and operate it.

I prefer giving a small amount of bitcoin as suggested and would ask the receiver to make his own wallet through known web wallets which he can explore while learning about bitcoin.

Those coins that you are describing are mostly the pump and dump coins. I wouldn't advise any person to track those coins that are gaining huge percentages within the week.

Having fake volume is their way to get more investors and hope that many doesn't buy on this gimmick anymore.

Everyone became influenced by those people but while we're growing on this market, we're actually understanding and seeing the whole point of why we're depending on these people. You bought it at the peak of this year so you need to add more patience due to it.

I think you should change that attitude of relying on the prediction of others, you can read insightful comments and TA's but think first before rolling yourself and applying with those predictions.

There are users that forget to write down and back up their passphrases and once the phone is stolen, you can't retrieve it anymore. There is the good and bad side of having mobile wallets. If you want to access it everywhere, you can put a small amount that you want to spend with it but it's not the best wallet to keep for long term HODL.

Applying 2FA is much better another added layer of security for such wallets, you can use authy or google auth.

I haven't used them for a while so I don't have any details and updates regarding this exchange. Now, it's showing some text but the orders aren't showing and the circle loading keeps on loading.

Are there people that are still storing funds into this kind of exchange?

2 years has passed so expect that there are more people that are now into crypto and have invested into bitcoin. As for the blockchain technology, they really wouldn't care about it because this is more of a corporate opportunity and innovation.

I can't find the current stats of it. But base on this article which was published last March 2018: Binance Now Has More Users Than the Population of Hong Kong

Binance has around 7.9 million users registered last year so I'm expecting that it has added around 1 million users within a year or even more than that.

Etherdelta loads for me but after that, the interface has nothing to show. All details are blank, I guess this is another exchange that will shut down soon.

Good questions. The process was always like that, when most new altcoins became being dumped which results to be called as scam coins because of that scenario and failed investors with those coins simply call it like that.

1. With the hope of earning because most of these new coins are active for the moment so hype is high.
2. I don't know if you see a developer that keeps on jumping from one failed project to another, you already have an indicator what project to avoid.

Yes, that's what he meant. Selling yourself with your knowledge about cars and the ability to write contents about it. If you already have a portfolio that you can sell out with samples, that's better and easier for you to get clients.

And don't limit yourself to crypto car projects only, you can also be hired and get paid with any currency (dollars, euro) but you have to look for a decent client through freelancing platforms.

Yep, a very close one. I thought that it's going to be an overtime and they would eventually lose because they have been doing good. But as usual the last few minutes will always show the momentum if the scores are close.

And another victory again for Lakers against Jazz, looks like the fans of other team will have a new favorite now.

The reason is because it's a new trend and everyone is hyped base on the crowd response. That's why others saw the chance and opportunity in that case while others didn't bother to invest because obviously, they have a huge similarity.

The established coins will still dominate the market and regardless of new idea comes out again but if it would be the same with crowd sale, they'll really experience the same scene.

IEO and ICO doesn't have that much difference. They get a crowd sale for their project to be funded and after that, it's up to the investors and developers on what's going to be the next deal.

And for keeping coins, I'll choose to keep the known coins rather than the coins that are bound and potential to be dumped after the sale. Well, if this cycle continues, sale > pump > dump then the next thing would be investing to the top coins.

Yeah, I forgot to edit since I already thought that game was finished with that score. Actually it was a close game and the run-in score by Denver was impressive, I really thought that they'll par on the score within the last minutes.

But well, they've lost and the momentum was with the Lakers.

It is bitcoin and its known for having a character of volatility. Yes, we may see or we may not see an increase just like what 2017 did in the past. It wouldn't be the same as quick in skyrocketing but there is a chance as usual for bitcoin to get back on that track.

Are you thinking of investing right now because of that possibility?

I'm watching right now the Lakers vs Denver match. 4 minutes left and I think this is going to be an overtime but it still depends on how Lakers will take care of their 3 point lead.

From 7 points lead to 3 points.

Edit: 102-96 few seconds left.

Congrats Lakers.
