I really was having this question in mind to ask if it will advisable for somebody who want to start up trying doing online investment and chooses trade as perfect for him or her. What will be your advice for such person as a beginner into online Invertement. I want to hear your opinions if it right or wrong despite it risk,so what your opinion or advise .

Irrespective how much you have, before someone should start up a business you most know and study the kind of business aspiring to go into, its good for someone to go into Trading but I think you have a to examine trading very well to know the rules and regulations before going into it, many people have regretted while involving their funds into Trading because  of the loss that's involved, so I believe that trading you most learn the skill and know when you are supposed to trade and when not. The primary thing is to know the rudiments first by acquiring the knowledge.

Stocks of crypto companies fell Monday after the U.S. Commodity and Futures Trade Commission (CFTC) sued Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and CEO Changpeng Zhao.

Coinbase (COIN), the only U.S. publicly traded crypto exchange, fell 9.1% as of 15:25 UTC (11:25 a.m. ET). Shares of bitcoin mining companies Marathon Digital (MARA), Riot Blockchain (RIOT) and Hut 8 Mining (HUT) all slid more than 7%. MicroStrategy (MSTR) – which earlier Monday disclosed the purchase of nearly another 6,500 bitcoin – was down 6.7%.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, lost $1,000 to below $27,000. Binance's exchange token, BNB fell 3.3%.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Monday, the CTFC's lawsuit alleged that Binance knowingly offered unregistered crypto derivatives products in the U.S. contrary to federal law.

The company, said the CFTC, operated a derivatives trading operation in the U.S., offering trades for numerous cryptocurrencies, all of which the CFTC said are commodities. The suit also alleged that Binance, under Zhao’s leadership, directed its employees to spoof their locations through the use of virtual private networks.

we're suffering recession, the economy is inflated and the inflation isn't just in a place, it cuts across the whole world, though worse in some parts of the world but everyone's facing difficult times.
Just try the best you can, your children can attend a school you'd be able to afford, probably a public school.

This is a period to cut our coats according to the availability of our materials, Fate wiling,things will eventually get better

AFAIK, SVB received a bailout from the the government which rescue all the customers money. This save everyone that has money on it which makes crypto market rally in an insane speed due to this hype. Although it’s too early to celebrate since this will have an implications if other banks will do the same which government will shoulder all.

It’s not a direct bailout but surely the government rescue SVB funds.

Let's pause a moment and think of the irony that crypto start-ups are holding their funds in a bank in $.
Unfortunately, it shows the not so good side of things, that we're still deeply anchored in the system, no matter what "revolutionizing" projects claim, it's still a fiat deal behind all of them.

That's quite sad story.

Indeed. But privacy is a human right.

Money laundering is a crime, and hackers using it to obfuscate their stolen money is illegal, so these users would have to be banned to avoid being illegal, and even that won't magically make you compliant with FinCEN (regardless of where you live).

And if you collect KYC before using the mixer, then the purpose of mixing is lost. So it's a catch-22.

Even if all mixers are shut down, there will still be many ways to perform money laundering, and history has shown us that nobody is actually serious about apprehending the people who launder their money, in contrast to, for example, the services that facilitate it. Because these are easy targets. To capture the actual criminals requires a lot of discouraging red tape across countries.

If anyone thinks I'm wrong about the above paragraph, then why haven't the 1MDB thief and his henchmen been caught yet?

In trading the number one enemy is our self emotions, many trader loss because they can't control thier emotions and it really affects thier decision making and sometimes it will become a reason for the big loss, in crypto we cannot be free from different emotions because everytime market condition is changing and it is really a high volatility market, i think experienced had a very big role on decision making, is this a reason why most of the newbie loss is it because they don't have enough of experience?

Government always refused to see the positive aspects of events when it comes to what will profit the masses. Assuming government can easily understand the power of bitcoin in improving self dependency by citizens of different nations.

If IMF and UN can come together to strength the values and important of bitcoin as centralize legal digital currency with independence network system to act on digital market and helps in improving I.T for youths all over the world.

Bitcoin easily create stable jobs in different uniforms.
Buying and selling of bitcoin virtual cards, bitcoin pay points agents, ATM machine, bitcoin gifts cards, extension of campaign teams, and monopoly of market. Alls this could reduce unemployment by government schemes.

All these blocks rewards, I instant swapped them for BTC, and I held until the end of 2021, where I secured part of the profits by reselling. I continue to hold the rest of these BTC but those will be used to pay for my future retirement.

The stars allegedly used their social platforms to boost two crypto tokens without disclosing they were paid to promote them.

The charges were announced by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a news release on Wednesday.

Lohan and Paul have paid to settle the charges without admitting guilt.

The other celebs charged are:

Musician Soulja Boy (DeAndre Cortez Way)
Singer Austin Mahone
Porn actress Kendra Lust (Michele Mason)
Rapper Lil Yachty (Miles Parks McCollum)
Musician Ne-Yo (Shaffer Smith)
Senegalese-American singer Aliaune Thiam (Akon)
The group is accused of illegally promoting TRX and BTT crypto assets "without disclosing that they were compensated for doing so and the amount of their compensation", the SEC said.

Justin Sun, a crypto investor and diplomat for the Caribbean island nation of Grenada, is also accused of fraud by manipulating the trading activity of the two tokens to make it appear as if they were actively being traded in a crime known as "wash trading".

Mr Sun, a Chinese-born protégé of Alibaba founder Jack Ma, is known for having once paid $4.6m (£3.7m) to have dinner with investor Warren Buffett.

He is accused of "orchestrating a promotional campaign in which he and his celebrity promoters hid the fact that the celebrities were paid for their tweet", the SEC added in their news release.

His companies - Tron Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd and Rainberry Inc (formerly BitTorrent) - are also charged as part of the scheme.

"This case demonstrates again the high risk investors face when crypto asset securities are offered and sold without proper disclosure," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

"Sun and his companies not only targeted US investors in their unregistered offers and sales, generating millions in illegal proceeds at the expense of investors, but they also coordinated wash trading on an unregistered trading platform to create the misleading appearance of active trading."

All of the celebrities, apart from Soulja Boy and Mahone, have paid a combined total of more than $400,000 to settle the charges.

Lohan, who is best known for her role in the 2004 film Mean Girls, had 8.4 million Twitter followers when she posted a message calling for her followers to invest.

The 36-year-old actress, who charging documents say is a resident of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, paid $10,000 to the SEC and another $30,000 in penalties.

Paul, a YouTuber, boxer and resident of Puerto Rico, was ordered to pay more than $100,000.

Well since we can not see how many times he had to try to get this kind of winning, we can not determine the luck  In any case you can get lucky anytime, even at the first try. Thats the beauty of gambling. Also roobet seems like a fair casino, which also seems to be an important part of the luck.

The Biden administration took aim at cryptocurrencies in a new report arguing that many aspects of the digital asset ecosystem are creating issues for consumers, the financial system and the environment.
The Economic Report of the President, published on Monday, is an annual publication by the Council of Economic Advisers aimed at explaining the president's economic priorities and policies. The March 2023 issue included an entire chapter on digital assets and "economic principles."
Monday's report comes amid growing industry concern that federal regulators are looking to de-bank crypto companies, though state and federal regulators have thus far denied these claims. Still, the tone of the report is unlikely to assuage these concerns.


Matthew Homer, a former deputy superintendent with the New York Department of Financial Services, told CoinDesk the report was a "damning indictment of the space that makes [the administration's] policy position crystal clear."
"The amount of attention given to digital assets is substantial, especially when viewed in comparison to other areas of financial services that have arguably been far more detrimental over the past few weeks. The assessment is striking in its definitive tone and broad brush strokes," he said.
The report looked at a number of claims and stated goals from the crypto industry, ranging from cryptocurrencies' role as investment vehicles and payment tools to its potential use in payment infrastructure. The report said that "many [cryptocurrencies] do not have a fundamental value" and noted other issues with the sector.
"It has been argued that crypto assets may provide other benefits, such as improving payment systems, increasing financial inclusion and creating mechanisms for the distribution of intellectual property and financial value that bypass intermediaries that extract value from both the provider and recipient. Looking under the hood at these arguments, however, shows a more complicated picture. So far, crypto assets have brought none of these benefits," the report said.
Various disasters in the crypto sector, including last year's collapse of Terra, BitConnect and FTX, were cited as examples of how everyday Americans were harmed.
Other examples pointed to more subtle frauds, such as Long Island Iced Tea changing its name to Long Blockchain to ride a stock price wave despite not having anything to do with blockchain at the time

the best formula is actually to recognize the tick when bitcoin is cheap, but that moment needs to be recognized. I'm afraid it's much more complicated than what you tried to write in two sentences.


I've been in this for quite a long time, and I don't think it's possible to make a parallel based on the movement of values in relation to a period of time. they are all coincidences and there is always a need for some significant event that will cause major movements.

Crypto exchange WazirX said that it has blacklisted more than 2,431 accounts before verifying transactions that were deemed unlawful from October last year to March 2023.

According to a report released by WaxirX on Tuesday, as many as 431 requests were received from law enforcement agencies (LEA), against a total transaction volume of $390 million on the platform during this period. Forty-six requests were from foreign LEAs and 385 requests from Indian LEAs, it said.

WazirX said it has engaged in more than 3,96,126 user interactions during this period. "This report covers an overview of initiatives that the company took during the months of October 2022 to March 2023 to safeguard users in the virtual digital asset (VDA) ecosystem," it said, adding, "It also includes details on requests for user data, content, and account restrictions by Indian and Foreign law enforcement agencies."

All of these requests pertained to matters related to account-blocking, suspected criminal proceedings, investigation, and information was sought from WazirX as to whether such accused had dealt in crypto through our platform.

The crypto exchange said it promptly provided all information as sought, and added, "our compliance rate in record timeliness and accuracy was 100 per cent". Apart from that, blocking of over 2,431 accounts was also initiated based on our internal transaction monitoring process and/or directives from the LEAs.

All requests received from Indian, as well as foreign enforcement agencies, were related to investigations from suspected criminal proceedings.

"Suspension/Blocking of a user's account is subject to our terms and conditions i.e., when there is a violation of policies, deficient or suspicious KYC, or if we notice our platform is being used for illegal activities, we suspend/block the account of the user," the report said.

WaxirX on monitoring abnormal transactions
WaxirX said it also has systems to monitor abnormal transactions done by users, flag their related accounts and identify other suspicious behaviour so that these transactions can be reported to LEA if deemed fit. "Our compliance rate has been 100% for providing information/records to LEAs and also for abiding by their directives," it said.

The recommended statutory Turnaround Time (TAT) for responding to LEA requests is up to 72 hours from the time a request is received. However, with the help of efficient communication channels, WazirX clocked an average TAT as miniscule as 25 minutes for sending the first cut reply.

Some of the Indian and foreign law enforcement agencies that WazirX has worked with during this period are the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Directorate of Enforcement, State Cyber Crime Cells, Odisha Vigilance Department, Special Task Force, Bhopal Police, WB Police, Maharashtra Police, Crime Branch, Toronto Police Department, Police Department Dortmund, New York County District Attorney, Burlington Police, and California Police Department, Florida Police, among others.
