Yeah,this is awful.Chrome Webstore is full of extensions that aren't safe.I used to use Chrome web browser two years ago,but I had to switch to a Mozilla Firefox browser,so I don't use any extensions or add-ons. I assume that this guy didn't have some antivirus program installed on his PC. Never trust browser extensions.It's pretty easy for some scammer to code such malicious extension and upload it on Google Chrome.Activating a Chrome developer account costed $5 one time fee,5 years ago,as far as I remember.

Economy of some country has fall due to they channel their economy one side,what brings economy down is base on focusing on one particular thing not be diversified in different sectors, so when that particular product fails to trend in market the way it's before such country will be shortage of economy and the life of the people will be in danger base on things is moving wrongly to the country. And the way a country can be free from falling of economy is to spread their economy or diversified economy so that when one of sector shutdown another will pick up.
Third world economies are usually focused on selling and exporting one product. What can bring down the economy of advanced countries: 1.Wrong monetary and fiscal policy by the government,which creates budget deficits and hyperinflation,which might lead to the country's bankruptcy. 2.If the country exports a lot of goods to other countries and they stop buying those goods. 3.Creating bubbles in the financial markets of that country that might burst and create financial panic.This has something to do with the monetary policy,money printing and regulations over the financial sector. 4.Wars and natural disasters....

As mobile gaming become start to become popular in the world of gaming. I have this thought on my mind;
Can we relate Bitcoin with Mobile Gaming?
Just like Bitcoin; banks can be a traditional and Bitcoin becomes much easier and comfortable to use.
In mobile gaming; PC Desktop games/console games, etc can be traditional while games on mobile are the new trend where you can play comfortably anywhere with just your mobile phone.
Does it ring a bell? It's kinda the use of Bitcoin is much comfortable since we just need a Bitcoin wallet and internet connection to make the transaction. And in gaming: we just need a mobile phone where it is easy to access anytime and anywhere and play since you just need your mobile phone, no need to bring your console/PC desktop every time just to play.
Start to become popular???Dude,mobile gaming is really popular for years. Games like Clash of clans and Clash Royale have more than 500 million downloads. Can we implement Bitcoin into mobile gaming?Well,It depends of what do we want. Do we want more Bitcoin gambling mobile games or we want freemium mobile games,that accept Bitcoin payments for different perks and premium features. I can't seem to find any interesting Bitcoin mobile game on Google Play.Most of them are boring and look like scamms.

When it comes to trading cryptocurrency, there are many obstacles for the average user — the complexity of technical analysis, the skills involved in identifying trends, and, of course, the volatility of the market, meaning coins can soar or plummet in value overnight. But what if you could trade constantly, even in your sleep, making a steady profit every day, with minimal effort? Welcome to the world of crypto bots. But is it too good to be true? The word ‘bot’ might bring to mind Russian hackers and fake Twitter accounts but crypto bots are perfectly legal and fully supported, if not exactly encouraged, by major exchanges such as Bittrex and Binance. Put simply, they are computer programs that remove the emotion from trading. They buy and sell your cryptocurrency for you, using algorithms to follow the trajectory of a coin, identifying when to buy and sell, and, in theory, allowing you to make small, round the clock profits. Used wisely, they are said to give an average profit of around 1–2% each day — though risk-seeking traders have reported much more than this. Dephlagy Also is an Ai trading bot mixed bot’s ability like ladder orders entry improvement and also automatic Fibonacci level trading automatic Support and resistance detection behind all of this automated features bot trades always 24/7 monitor by 5 traders to avoid wrong positions and also right midterm/longterm trend detection When I see "steady profit" or "guaranteed profit" I just ignore such offers right away.Please avoid the scammer lingo and the bold promises. What's the guarantee that the bot will not crash?Can you guarantee 1-2% daily profit? If,for some reason,the buyers of this bot didn't manage to make 1-2% daily profits,will you reimburse their money back? You say the bot is monitored by 5 traders.Who is paying them for such job?

As we enter the next bull run the price of on-chain TX's will inevitably rise, firstly due to the price & secondly due to network congestion. Also there's quiet a few services that haven't implemented Segwit *cough* Binance.
In my opinion Lightning Network is nowhere near ready for global adoption, however it is a good conduit to free up the TX mempool. There's also a bunch of other off-chain/2nd layer solutions but let's be honest Lightning is currently leading the way.
Personally I've opened a bunch of lightning channels anticipating this fee rise, however it's still an uncertainty how it will all play out. Maybe channels become too expensive to open for the average person & custodial wallets become this next best thing?
Interested in the community's opinion on this.
I don't think that there is a direct correlation between the Bitcoin price going up and the transaction fees going up.Hypothetically,the blockchain might get stuck due to panic selling.The prices will go down,while the increased confirmation time and the fear of losing more value will force the people to choose higher fees and less confirmation time. I also think that Lightning Network will be suitable only for businesses that require "instant" transactions with no confirmation time.There are specific niches,where the on-chain transactions can't be used. Comparing LN with the Bitcoin Core blockchain and thinking that they are actually competing with each other for customer transactions and fees is simply wrong.

This topic has been discussed many times before. There's enough satoshis to handle all the transaction volume in case of a massive global Bitcoin adoption. Do you think that scarcity is a problem?In the middle ages and up until the twentieth century,gold was scarce and it still is,but it was successfully used as the global medium of exchange and store of value. Your thread is a chore to read and there's no point of pointing out old and invalid arguments to prove some theory that has already been proven to be wrong.

My Five REASON Why I do not want to buy them?
1. They are costly if you are paid in Bitcoin as a bounty hunter or for a gig. 2. They are a liability as if, you lose it you will lose your investment. 3. They are not easy to operate and most exchanges do not support them. 4. They have to be updated periodically or you will never see your Bitcoin in them. 5. They can still be hacked if you are using them online for trading or other stuff.
My number one reason why I don't want to buy a hardware wallet: Because it costs money.  Having a hardware wallet makes sense only if you have 1+ BTC and you wanna have the absolute best security measures(even though there's no such thing as 100% security). I simply don't HODL that big amounts of BTC,so it's pointless for me to buy a hardware wallet. On the other side,I think that mobile wallets are less secure than online wallets. I've been using online wallets for about 4 years and I never had any problem.

So I guess that Australia and New Zealand are crypto-friendly countries. How many Australians and people from New Zealand are true Bitcoin supporters and are actively using Bitcoin to purchase stuff everyday?I don't think the number is that big,so it's not worth it to invest into creating 2000 vending machines that accept BTC payments.BTC should be used for buying more expensive stuff,like cars,real estate,electronics,clothes. Anyway,knowing that a huge global brand like Coca Cola is supporting Bitcoin is a big boost for Bitcoin's overall image as a trusted currency.

Do you think I would need a business paypal account to conduct this or would a personal be ok? Again, the person im dealing with is completely trusted, the problem im facing is taxes and would paypal shut me down.
Having a Business account is way better for receiving large sums.However,the risk of Paypal locking your account remains.You will have to lie about the origin of the incoming transaction.Never mention to Paypal that you are selling cryptocurrencies for fiat money.They will most likely ban your account.Claim that this payment is for web design services,or some other expensive digital service and you'll be fine. If you can verify your Paypal account with real info about yourself,everything is going to be alright. I used to sell BTC for Paypal funds 3 years ado on Localbitcoins,but I stopped doing this,because the Paypal fees were getting worse and Paypal limited my account twice.I managed to lift the limitations,but I thought that it's not worth it to use Paypal for such activities.

Hackers are shifting from hacking public networks and individuals to hacking private networks and corporations to steal or demand ransom in Bitcoin. Cybercriminals have proven that the technology is hackable. View the video below to see what they’re doing and how to keep them from getting into Bitcoins. View the full story here: https://youtu.be/mCA2RJpIzEsThis is nothing new.The never ending battle against cyber criminals will continue forever. I've seen Youtube videos about call centers located in India,that are acting as a "tech support" and manipulating their victims into downloading remote access software like Teamviewer and gaining access to the victim's desktop.From there,they just login into the victim's bank account and steal everything. Hacking corporations has a different tactic,but those hackers get very advanced. The weak spot of every technology is actually the human factor.If the human factor is reduced(like in blockchain technology)the weak spots are way less and the system is harder to get penetrated. Crypto trading platforms are still centralized,which means that the human factor still play a huge role.

There is a popular saying that Cash is king, a term reflecting the belief that money (cash) is more valuable than any other form of investment tool, especially in the event of an economic downturn when there are cheap securities and properties that could be bought with cash.
On the flip side, I am very curious to know if the value of fiat currency appreciates or depreciates during a recession and why.
Cash is king,because it is the most liquid asset(you can turn cash into other assets pretty fast),not because it is considered more valuable than other assets(which is completely wrong).The US dollar decreased in value compared to the euro during the last few weeks,but this has something to do with the anti-racism protests in the USA and it will be temporary. I don't see any real estate or stock prices going down so far,so cash isn't getting more valuable that it actually is.

People want to get away from the monetary policies of the government simply because of too much manipulations and potential risks on our fiat savings. Which make it simplier to think upon Bitcoin as a new means of securing our assets. BUT What the hell does happen to our beloved crypto exchanges trying to halt prices by suddenly going "offline". Have you heard the Black Thursday (March 12, 2020) when Bitcoin plummeted its price to 3,800, some says if not with Bitmex went offline at that time, the price may goes to 1,000 usd each; imagine you bought bitcoin at that price. Funny is it, because right now as Bitcoin price tries something in this trying times  to go up, Coinbase suddenly went offline maintenance, isn't it odd? Read Me....Some say that the crypto trading platforms are going offline due to the increased activity on their servers,to me this explanation sounds ridiculous.If you are the CEO of the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world and such thing happens,you will have to resign,because your incompetence is obvious and the owners/shareholders might lose money. I believe in the conspiracy theory about going offline deliberately,for the sake of manipulating the prices. Unfortunately we can't do anything about it.

While I was working on the Yobit platform, a sum of 0.3 of a coin called Water was presented and this coin has a low value since it equals approximately 3$ so I tried to take advantage of it and put it in a daily investment plan with an interest rate of 15% and through the profits I achieved I added the profit to the original amount and when it became equal About 20$ I bought a Dogecoin coin and changed the investment plan and made 100$ profit It is true that this took a long time to be able to profit, but the wisdom here is that traders and investors in the crypto market must be patient and take advantage of any opportunity they get for free
This thread doesn't belong to the Bitcoin discussion forum.It belongs to the Altcoin discussions or Trading discussions forums. OP,do you really trust Yobit.net?This cryptocurrency exchange platform has been notorious for listing pump and dump shitcoins.I don't think that the "daily investment plans" listed on Yobit are legit.They are just a way to increase the demand(and therefore the price) of the shitcoins listed on Yobit. If you managed to make that money,then good for you.Did you manage to withdraw those coins,or they are just sitting in your Yobit account?

To me many new projects are here today just for your money, you invest in them and you make them rich, that's why we keep seeing unqualified people becoming developers, it's always about the money, I wish crypto projects are much harder to built, maybe only few scam projects will exists...... I know how easy it is to built erc20 token and website too, God have mercy on investors, I hope solution comes soon
I don't understand your whining.Is somebody forcing you to invest your money in those projects?  Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible and all those crypto startup projects are extremely risky(if they are not complete scams). By investing in them,you agree with their terms and you rely on their promises.There's no signing of contracts,there's no legal guarantee for your investment. Do you really believe that you will get any return of investment out of a crypto project?

I made a Paxful account 7 months ago,but the Paxful website was kinda slow and caused my browser to crash often so I decided to delete this account.After 5 days,I decided to use Paxful,so instead of creating a brand new account,I logged into my old account.Surprisingly my old account wasn't deleted. I had to verify my phone number,but the verification failed,because my old phone number was already in their system. I contacted Paxful customer support and never got any reply from them.All I got is an automatic email saying "How would you rate our customer support?",which is weird,because I never got any response from customer support. Anyone having the same problem contacting Paxful customer support?

Latest news! The Lancet recently published a major attack on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as Covid-19 treatment (which has really been shown around the world to be an excellent treatment). The study has just been retracted by its authors because the data seems to be totally fraudulent. E.g. the authors couldn't even name the hospitals which provided them with data, when their Australian data looked suspicious to some researchers. Of course, since the mainstream media relied heavily on this study to attack HCQ just recently, we can now expect a full, immediate and highly visible announcement of their error.  Why would anyone do something like this? Think of the enormous consequences in human lives. Why would any perpetrator expect to get away with this? So, what kind of power is behind this attack? Think, and you will understand. (For details see my original piece on HCQ.) I read some conspiracy theories about the US liberal media attacking HCQ only because Trump supports that medicament.This sounds ridiculous,but I'm not surprised how crazy the US liberals can become. HCQ is highly effective in the treatment of the early stage of the coronavirus infection. After the patient gets hospitalized and has difficulties with breathing,HCQ is not very effective at all and has damaging side effects.This is my conlusion based on the stuff that I read.I'm not an expert.

During face-to-face recruitment, would-be members of Zbellion are given instructions for going to sites on the dark web that allow them to access sophisticated malware to siphon funds from corporations, financial institutions, and nonprofits that support “the establishment.” The gains are then converted to Bitcoin and distributed to “worthy recipients” including fellow Zbellion members who claim financial need. This is so dumb I can't even laugh at this for being so dumb.  You don't have to access the darkweb,in order to get some malwares,keyloggers,rats,trojans... Money from hacked bank accounts and stolen credit cards have been already laundered via buying cryptocurrencies or gift cards.Sad but true. I guess that the "Bitcoin is being used to fund terrorists and criminals" type of FUD mantra has been changed to "Bitcoin is being used to fund anarchists and protesters".  Shitting all over Bitcoin across the mainstream media will never stop.

I came across some interesting data today from Bitinfocharts that suggests transactions on average cost $1.083. Having a low transaction fee is arguably an important factor to the growing adoption of Bitcoin and it's great to see that the transaction fee has lowered especially after the somewhat high fees after the halvening. I personally still have friends and family that are unaware of the low transaction fees for Bitcoin and are still using platforms that charge much higher than Bitcoin's fee so it's always good to remind those unaware of Bitcoin's transaction fee.
Low transaction fees aren't the most important factor,when it comes to Bitcoin adoption,but it's nice to know that the fees are lower than before.Anyway,this might be temporary. The fiat platforms that are charging much higher transaction fees(like PayPal) usually have reversible transactions,which means that they have a big amount of refunds,so the transaction fees get refunded as well.This lower their overall revenue,so they are just solving the problem by increasing their fees. Bitcoin doesn't have such problems.

The digital yuan might replace Bitcoin and the US dollar,but only inside the territory under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government.It's pretty obvious that the Chinese government will force the people and businesses in China to use this digital currency and dump other currencies.I simply can't see this currency getting outside the borders of China and becoming a global currency. Meanwhile,the authorities in China might gather control over the Bitcoin mining facilities and try to manipulate Bitcoin.Many people say that this is impossible,but the risk remains.
