Oh yeah, it's now clearer to me. I did more checks and discovered that the McAfeedex is using the Switchdex contract. Switchdex owns the Switch token (ESH) which is a swap of Ethershift. It's already listed on the CMC. The developer is Josh and this link http://t.me/ethershiftco takes one to the telegram group.

Again, the Switchdex only lists and trades ETH tokens. Any other tokens there are basically the handiwork of fraudsters trying to scam users. So, be careful. I guess same goes for the McAfeedex.

It's a pity that had to happen. Before the official winding up it was really evident to curious close watching eyes that all wasn't right with Coinexchange if anyone actually took time to study the trading volume there. Well, it's all good that the exchange acted honourably by winding down rather than play out a "hack" and causing traders to lose their funds. I have carefully withdrawn my coins and transferred to other exchanges. I will surely miss this exchange because the security feature is top notch.

I quite agree with you that some price fall signify dump but unsuspecting buyers may not know and they will dive on and waste their hard earned money. This isn't even about doing one's diligent research before buying in because most times one won't even know where to start with. Back to the OP, I think the best way to increase BTC holdings in a bear market is to tether. Then sell off tether and buy into Bitcoin once the signal for a bull run comes up. Buy BTC/USDT & Sell BTC/USDT should be it at every correction.

I want to believe that what Tumbler services/Mixers tend to do is bring back the days of anonymity that was the hallmark of cryptocurrency but now missed because of the almost mandatory KYC. Transactions are done and the receiver is hidden from any trace. That way, cases of armed robbers and bandits breaking into homes to harass hodlers are put at bay. Those who insinuate something insidious like money laundering and terrorism as things mixers indulge do not have strong points. Reason being that these vices are everywhere, not just with cryptocurrency.

Whatever price you buy BNB now is cheap considering the fact that it got to $40+ ATH this year. The problem I think people have is that they don't want any coin/token they buy to ever depreciate in price. They want instant mooning all the time. But this shouldn't be the ideal thought with any serious investor. Business is ups and downs. It's normal to expect a price crash from time to time and that is what BNB is passing through. So, it's a great buy now for anyone. Don't wait till price begins to moon and they you start chasing the price.

I think it will be safer to say "heard about Bitcoin" than "read about Bitcoin" The truth is that people hardly read. Even now, not many will read the OP before responding. Sometimes, I don't even blame those who say they don't understand jack about Bitcoin. It's really technical stuff. The technicalities of Bitcoin perplexes me too.

There is Switchdex and I do think sincerely that is the decentralized exchange McAfee is trying very hard to copy. Nonetheless, I think people should very care patronizing his exchange. I find it difficult trusting a man who always has a smile plastered on his face. In the case with McAfee, a failed past is a cause to worry about.

And to even say it later got to $1,432.88 USD
(Jan 13, 2018) makes one want to cry. The truth is that the OP is right in a way about most of the altcoins being shitcoins. But there are still coins/tokens with potential. You never can tell when the potential will be unleashed and you miss the bus. I have some altcoins that have grown cold on me but I am still hopeful of a rise some day. Only time can prove me wrong.

If you don't mind, could you list the "other means". You see, these things are easier said than done. No one will intentionally want to be called a fool (this is what most projects do now to bounty hunters). I wouldn't want to be cheated but sometimes you fall prey to scammy developers. That's the price most of bounty hunters face, no matter how careful you want to be.

Funny dude @ my bolded in your sentence as quoted. Anyway, he made a very dicey choice with ETH. I don't trust that coin that much to put my money on it. It's just like ripple. But with Bitcoin, I can buy and hodl even when the price goes momentarily crashing I don't panic because I know it will certainly rise again. Bitcoin is a sure bet.

I think you're in the minority here. If you talk about colour text, fine. But you can't really say for sure that.bold prints are disgusting (you may personally find them so but it shouldn't be a generalization). I use bold texts from time to time and it's for stylistics and desired effect. And like other posters opined, this should be used with discretion.

This is stale development and it sure happened over a year ago and at the time Bitcoin didn't have much gain to it. I bet, you always remember this whenever there is a surge in the price of Bitcoin. You better let that incident rest for honestly I don't think you can ever get back your money,, no matter what investigation is set up.

OP, there's a reason Bitcoin dominates the market with a whooping percentage. 70% is no mean feat. I know a lot of people will wish this data is anything to go by just so they see Bitcoin relegated. Well, from the look of things this isn't going yo be any time soon.

You're absolutely right - Banning the Petro will definitely open the floodgates to banning the entire crypto industry in Venezuela. Besides, I think Donald Trump is even overstepping his bounds. The best he can do is place sanctions on Venezuela by withdrawing aids to the country, and not ban any country's "legal tender". Who the heck does Trump think he is?

Despite how I earnestly want to always read positive news and reviews about Bitcoin, l honestly don't know how launching Bitcoin in the moon will change anything. Let more awareness around Bitcoin be created here on planet earth first before we start going to space. We need more countries to adopt Bitcoin and not inanimate moon.

I read about this topic yesterday on LinkedIn and am happy to see it here now. It shows the voraciousness of members of this forum.

It's a gradual process. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day. I remember how we nearly attained mass adoption in 2017 and how the rapidity of the Bitcoin awareness which spread like wildfire stunned even veteran members and sone community members here. Many started screaming  Bitcoin was a bubble. The movement was such a speed then. For me, I believe life is a gradual process and with time the blockchain tech will take its right place.

At a point some of us felt Bytebal was the replacement for Bitcoin as it gave Bytebal a grievous chase in price. But that expectation soon died. Then cane the first fork and BCH was born out of Bitcoin. Nothing changed. It conveniently played second fiddle to Bitcoin. What about ETH? They've all failed in that regard. However, I do not still think that Bitcoin will want to adopt anything for anything.

I believe in market corrections from time to time and am scared stiff when I don't find it. Bitcoin is at correction phase now for technically it has crossed MA downward on weekly time frame. So, I expect more bears in days to come. However, I am not scared zooming out on panic for I know the price will go up later. It's a sure bet that Bitcoin is the most secured crypto with the guarantee of rising whenever it falls. The best thing to do at a time of a fall is to tether and not panic sell off.

I will say you did well by selling off for the sake of family need. However, let me quickly point out that except for illness I haven't seen anyone who is healthy die of hunger. People will always find a way to survive and get food (even not enough to eat). Anyway, no regrets for your action and like you rightly said - Money is as good as the problem it solves.
