The don't need prayers, they need to find cure of the virus so that they can treat immediately those who are affected and stop the spread as cases of new victims are appearing every where around the globe. And they have all the tools, they have their own CDC their which is in my opinion far more advanced than US itself.

We don't need to involved "Higher Being" here, what we need is to protect ourselves and let China do their job controlling the source of the virus.

I guess to each his own. I always carry two wallets with me, and I don't see it as a hassle. Most of the time I have my wife carry my other phone. Of course we always need to activate 2fa and email verification for our mobile but I just prefer it that way.

So one for my daily and personal used and even though no one can touch it except my wife or my kids, still I practice two phones for my security.

Nice project, how do you find scammers though? Do you research on them yourself or do you just list scammers that have been found already? Just a tip, every day, there are a lot of members reporting scams in the Scam Accusations board, you may want to check it.

I also wanted to see the recent one, I found one website before who says that they have a list of scam/scammers but when I check them it's never been updated. So you guys need to constantly updated your list, otherwise you might not get the needed exposure.

Well we're glad to see Bitcoin going back to five digits once again. I have a bit of talk to one of my friends who panics when he see the price going as low as $9800 and thought that we are in a bearish trend or at least the price will continue to go down and will be having a hard time going back to $10,000.

And Bitcoin proves lot of doubters again, it's so resilient and the price movement is very unpredictable. Regarding holding our stash, definitely, we're all gonna do it because we still have the most important event in May and chances are we're going to see the price move up even higher.

What do you expect? When the price of Bitcoin started to move, everyone follows even those exchange coin. specially BNB. Because we all that it has the backing of one of the leading exchanges in crypto sphere. So it make sense for it to move when Bitcoin moves.

But this is still a great time to accumulate those exchange coin, specially four of the coins you have mentioned. There might be some good exchange coins that we haven't heard, so just do our own research and try to look for them. And then buy them, who knows, they might be the next BNB.

Then archived everything, and put it in the Scam Accusations board so that many can be given the warnings about this project so that no one can fall for their trap. Well that's one trick in their bags, to blur their picture and hopefully no one will notice about it. But guys like you are quick to spot it, so better exposed them as early as you can on that board.

The only reason that I can think of why it is quiet its because of the bearish trend. The market is at a stand still although we have seen some movement at the start of the year, it's not enough to gather momentum. Maybe some projects are just waiting for the perfect time to enter the market.

Perhaps I was lucky enough to live in a country wherein Bitcoin can be used to pay bills, like internet, water and even electric. But I'm not aware of taxes though.


I guess it still boils down as to how US will view Bitcoin in the future. If they think that it is being misused by bad actors, they might introduce stricter regulations. But for now, US citizens can freely buy/sell trade Bitcoins, and btw, it isn't illegal to begin with.

Anyone watching the New York Open?

Steve Johnson beat  Sandgren 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-6(3). We all remember who Sandgren is, the guy that Federer beat from a come from behind win. They went into a tie break, but Johnson mostly controlled it. I guess that Sandgren was still feeling the pain on that Federer lost and probably seeing another ghost during his match against Johnson specially in the tie break.

Again, this is Tone Vays, if we have a perma bull like Tom Lee, then this is his counterpart. And just for the sake of argument, Bitcoin hits $4000, so what we are going to do? of course, we won't just dump and be emotional. I guess we will hear again, weak has will be shaken.

And we have to understand that this so called experts have their bad/good intentions behind. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear it from Tone Vays, perhaps he is a perma bull, but might be secretly buying in dips.

That is right, that should be the first thing that you need to educate yourself. I'm sure that the OP's friend knew it first hand, but he didn't take it seriously resulting in a massive lost on his part. And with Bitcoin's price going to five digits again, I'm sure that he regret what he had done prior and after.

It's impossible to brute force it, I can feel your sentiment to his friends, but we can't do anything at this point but to shake our heads for his simply but costly mistakes.

Hah, you have a point, that will be like x5 of the previous all-time-high (almost $20k), so that it mean that the we will see 25,000 million transaction or more in the future?


That's what Satoshi wanted, Bitcoin to be used as micro-payments, however, I would say that it become a asset or commodity or store of value. But it doesn't mean that it is bad though, its just that we have evolved so much in the last ten years.

That's why we have this court case now. It's there word against SEC and only litigation like this will tell us who's lying or not.


Then they have to counter SEC, but from the looks of it, seems that Telegram is really on the hot water here. The ball is really on their court to prove that they are not a security token.

Just like what we have seen in the last couple of years, companies, mid-to-big, are really at blockchain's hype train. I don't know if they really do some feasible study before implementing blockchain technology here because as you have said, they might not need it. Perhaps just a simply centralised database will do to track everything.

Anyways, I do hope that it will make their business operations more robust with their blockchain implementation, otherwise they're just wasting money here, IMHO.

I wouldn't say it's controversial, there is no controversy, the media just spun bitcoin or crypto that's why it attracted a lot of attentions from governments.

If they became insecure then why the number of Bitcoin transactions are going up? and the number of crypto traders are also growing exponentially? "Trust" is a strong word in crypto world and I don't think that traders really do trade on exchanges because they trust them, but just because they can earn money, the same as exchanges are making money out of us traders.

And as far as hacking goes, it won't simply just as what @Jating as posted, we have hacks are early as this time, but at least it is not in millions of dollars.

You have the right to place your bet on Inoue, after all he is the favorite here.

But saying that Casimero is less experienced? Are you sure of that? LOL. He had defeated champions from their own turf and even involved in a melee in Mexico as far as I can remember.

He is small, no question about that, but he is one of the most explosive fighter and he is really going tooth and nail here, not because he wanted to avenge Nonito, but he has all the leverage and tools and the heart to win against Inoue.

So they acknowledge the hacked, however, for us more mortals, it will be very hard to perform that exploit, as you need to have special skills to really break the hardware wallet, so it's not that easy as it sound. So for me it is still 100% safe.

It is still on the top 3 so that alone speaks how investors are really into XRP. But as far as going to the moon again, it might take some time though. We're just starting to heat up, so we need to look at around 12-24 months at least and see how XRP will do.

Of course, altcoin market can't stand alone without the big push from Bitcoin. So there is a possibility that if Bitcoin gets into another all time high, some major atcoins could also follow. With that said, we need to wait and see. As I have said, it might be just a question of when, but I'm speculating that if past history repeats itself it might peak at 2021. IMHO.

Bitcoin always behave like that, when we touch or break a supposedly mental barrier in front of us, it will be followed by a healthy correction, similar to what we have seen today, so I would say that it is just normal. Even a 30% dump is not surprising. What surprises everyone is that after this price correction, Bitcoin again will have a run. So probably we might see $12,000.

So I'm expecting that after a lull, bullish trend will resume. And for those who panic seeing their portfolio going down a bit, then I advise that you continue to HOLD. We are just months away from the block halving, so it is going to be interesting and don't think of pushing that sell button.

It's pretty obvious that Bitcoin is trending around the globe, not just in China. And it doesn't matter if they really embrace it or not. As Bitcoin will continue to grow exponentially in the next coming decade without China. This is similar to what we witnessed in 2017, lots of country are watching it, and as a result, more regulations what introduce. The thing with Bitcoin or at least crypto is that it continue to grow and if one country ban it, guarantee they will be left behind.

On top of my head during the ICO boom in 2017, with hundreds of millions of dollars being raised in short amount of time.

• Bancor
• Tezos
• Filecoin

I think Binance launch in 2017 went viral as well, I remember that they have to suspend accepting members because they have been overwhelm by so many crypto traders who want to get a piece of the action. Those projects really know to market their services thru social media, click bait articles, shills, anything under the sun that will put their name of top of the discussions that time.[/list]
