It makes sense to some to move to stable coin in this kind of situation. After all you wanted to protect your assets specially when the market crashes. So obviously, BTC is the gold standard, and thats ironic to see stable coin became 'unstable'.

So there's no safe assets right now, every coin is volatile because of the covid-19 effect, so just be wise, if you wanted to hedge against stable coin, then good, but you should know how to get out in time.

If I may just add, yes we have seen a lot of times that bitcoin has been tested, but every time is was different. And so are today, we haven't seen this pandemic before, that's why the market reacted very negative that really tested a lot of traders/investors psychologically.

So the market has been shaken, weak hands have sold, but still probably go back to BTC again when they realised that they have made the mistake of selling off in the panic. BTC now is up by 20%.

That is according to you, but majority of us thinks otherwise, do most of us here are wrong? sorry to burst your bubble.

Do you think that Craig Wright is also telling the truth?

It's because there's none, the most important thing right now is to discover a vaccine, have people check for the virus, medical supplies for the victims specially the older one, disinfect places, medical workers ready to deploy 24x7. None of those would have to involved blockchain technology as far as I know.

And we all know that crypto or blockchain technology is not like a magic bean that will solved the problem. And everyone should be cautious as well and stay away from public places and don't go out, simply as that.

The only thing that I can think of is let blockchain technology be used as a tool to accept crypto as donations.

I'm more concern about the API keys though, we have heard before that Binance was hacked thru their API keys.

What security measures are you guys implementing here? As hackers can get ahold of our API keys and then it's over for us?

And what data are other people going to see in our portfolio?

Not only in Las Vegas, but even here in our country, 3 big casinos have closed starting Monday because of the corona virus. This is really messy and ugly, everyone is affected and the only option we got is to really play online games. It could be good for crypto, however, there are still players who wanted the total atmosphere of a traditional casino. If they don't like online then the only choice is to stop their gambling. So it could have a positive effect as well, sort of.

Nice catch, we have seen growth on malwares riding on the covid-19 crisis.

Now we have witnessed another gimmicks from these spineless people trying to take advantage of the situation and tricking people to donate their money because they wanted to help.

According to the article you posted;

- Bingo??
- Craps??
- Roulette??
- Lottery??
- Video Poker??

Almost half of the games you mentioned in your blog is luck based game, so there's no skills or techniques needed obviously.

Are you saying that Snowden are not interested on bitcoin?
Back in 2015 he was accepting bitcoin as donation already. https://cointelegraph.com/news/edward-snowden-is-accepting-bitcoin-donations-for-his-legal-defense-fund.

So he knows bitcoin very well, that's why he tweeted it so look like he is promoting it again or at least very positive on bitcoin. It's still our best interest to not believed on someone just because it looks like they are bullish on BTC, just saying.

It says that they have reach € 10,000 already, but it seems that the money is not enough. And at this trying times, if someone has some extra BTC, just dusting in your wallet, maybe this is the right now to donate it, just saying.

And it recent days, the fatality are so high, outside of China, I think Italy and Iran are the most affected by the Covid-19 virus.

Well we all know that the first outbreak really come from China, initially though they don't want to accept it and even suppress local doctors who first discovered it not to go to social media and leak information. But it's too late as the virus spread out in other countries and everyone has been affected.

And after that, all hell breaks loose, traditional markets, our beloved crypto's nose dived because of this. And it also means that indeed every economy is around the world is connected, that's why it really causes a lot of financial woes for every nation. So let's see how bitcoin will react if there is a new wave and the potential victims numbers grew exponentially in the coming weeks.

Why would they stressed themselves when 1 BTC = 1 BTC?

We haven't seen this kind of situation before, the closest we got from this kind of dump is during the Mt. Gox heist, but that is still not comparable as to the market situations we have right now. And for those who are really stressed, the only option is to sell, that is if they want to lose money today.

Japan is amongst the best economy in the world, I think a cancellation or postponement will be a good option for now instead of allowing it as schedule. The game itself will be a disaster for committee to check everyone, athletes and fans for the corona virus symptoms.

So the logical choice will be to push it on a later date when everything has settled down or at least everyone feel safe to attend the games.

Unfortunately though, we have seen the lowest price this year as the market .

I can't argue with you about the number of bitcoin investors growing by the day. But with the pandemic at hand, everything is taking care of themselves, and the whole global market has been affected negatively. Currently, the price is not even on the $6k'sh, we are struggling day by day. But I do hope that once everything settles down, we might see the price going into the five digits again.

Right, I was scrambling to buy at cheap price, just waiting for some fiat, unfortunately, I wasn't able to ride as the price quickly bounce back from -46% to -31% and price going above $5k. That was really a great opportunity to get some cheap coins and hold and wait for the eventual bull-run, sadly I was late.

It it goes down, sub $5k again, then definitely I will buy small portions and see how it goes. Not that I wanted to see the price to go down again, but it will present another perfect opportunity, another chance to scoop BTC.

Doesn't matter what is that they wanted to discussed in public, everyone should take every precautions because of the high risk involved in contacting the virus specially in a crowded and public places.

As for those who attend, they should have take into consideration that they can be infected and that's what really happened here, I think both sides are guilty here, the organizers should have postponed though, no question about it.

If you have funds at stand-by and waiting for the perfect opportunity to buy coins including BTC and Ethereum then go by it, accumulate because it is still cheap as far as I know.

Definitely, this is a big test, but I'm sure that those who have been in the market in the last 5 years have seen worst, so for me, everything will settle down in the next coming days, patience everyone, don't need to panic.

Why would any crypto exchange involved Paypal though? that's odd.

As far as advertisement here in the community, we have a dedicated board, Exchanges. Might be good in your end to create a topic there dedicated to your exchanges so that you can get maximum exposure to traders.

We have seen the effects already, not just crypto but the rest of traditional global market also crashed.

I'm not saying the crypto is not a good hedge, but the panic that corona virus scare has cause is too much for all the market to go into it's knees. I guess recession really affects everyone, from simply investors to those who have tons of money as well.

I don't think it's just small numbers, many have panic causing the price to sink below $4k levels.

But as for those people? We really don't know the rational behind cashing out their holdings. If they are true believers of bitcoin, maybe they really fear that it is the end of all crypto and wanted to have it converted to cash, ASAP. But since we have recovered, not the price that we wanted to see, but at least it didn't fall to $3k, but the panic is still in the air though.
