Yes, I see that the price of Bitcoin has surpasses $4100 again so indeed this is a great day for us. However, don't get excited with this rally today, I'm sure you know that we have seen this kind of bounce in the last month. And it's hard for us to get to the hump of that $4200 barrier so we are again at that point. The question is can we sustain this rally or go back to sub $4000 again and all the hard work and green candles are gone in matter of minutes? Or are this for real? We will see in the next coming days.

And that is one fatal mistaken on their end, specially if they think that the price of Bitcoin could go on parabolic rise. How many noobs investors who got burned when they FOMO and irrationally buying bitcoin at the top price in 2017?


It's because there are no so called experts here. They are just like you and me in this market, a speculator and just go and make predictions based on news and the market sentiments. John McAfee is more of a influencer, and other who is perma-bull is obviously either have companies who worked with clientele of investors or just have a huge investments on bitcoin that's why they keep preaching the same thing over and over again.

This one. Everyone has a scape-goat and sadly it looks like North Korea is to put to blame for everything including cyber attacks. Of course there could be reason that "Lazarus" project is for real, but it doesn't make sense if they focused mainly on stealing crypto from exchanges. This might be just a front, but something deep inside is going on in North Korea but I do think it's more on stealing state secrets and then those who crypto hacks are just some cover up to a more malicious intent.

As a sports fans, I would say yes. But as a gambler, sometimes you are put on a big stress watching the live games because you don't know if you're going to win or not. That's why most of the time I just look at the live score and never watch the game. Another thing though is that most of the games I bet usually plays like 12 am - 6 am, so obviously I can't catch those games and watch the match unfolds.

And the results are in.

Halep vs Pliskova  - Pliskova  demolished Halep 7-5, 6-1
Barty vs Kontaveit - Barty won, 6-3, 6-3.

Pliskova vs Barty for the finals. I see Pliskova taking this one. She's playing great specially she is riding from the momentum win against Halep.

Federer vs Anderson. Federer win's easy. I thought Anderson will gave him some challenges, But Roger is on the tee right now, 6-0, 6-4.

Tiafoe vs Shapovalov. Shapovalov needed 3 sets 7-6, 4-6, 3-6 to win.

So it will be Federer vs Shapovalov on the semis together with Isner vs Felix Auger Aliassime on the other draw.

Of course there will be impact. We might not felt the effect right now, but in the long run when mempool started to choke again as transactions are getting bigger, maybe using Segwit will be an advantage to those trading platforms who chooses to adopt it right now.


Probably some will specially again in cases when there is a network congestion. Perhaps traders will shift to a exchange wherein they can withdraw/deposit funds much quicker because of Segwit adoption.

It's already semis in the women's side.

Halep vs Pliskova - (Perhaps the winner will most likely take the trophy this year)
Barty vs Kontaveit - (Not familiar with those names though)

For men's QF.
Federer vs Anderson
Tiafoe vs Shapovalov

Winner of eah match will face each other for the SF. Isner vs Auger Aliassime (we should watch this kid and see if he has the potential in the next 2-5 years) has booked there own semis already.

Ok. Probably the next question to the OP is, are you still gonna used this trading platform after what has happened to you? If I'm in your shoes then I will definitely liquidate all my assets on that exchange and move somewhere to a exchange with reputation.

Funny though, I just created an account to that site and never heard about this hacked. Just wanted to trade some tokens their that I found I can play with  . Anyways, I know that that they have been faking their volumes based on lots of recent reports, but what the heck, just a small amount won't hurt my portfolio. . So let's see how it goes, I might just do a hit-and-run trading and then never come back to Coinbene again.

Business. They are in the business of making money out of crypto that's why they wanted to sell everything to anyone who will bite on what they are offering.


Maybe they are not experts after all. And who the hell will 'grade' them and tell them they are in the first place. This whole crypto sphere has spun too much of a money making machine for everyone. I remember when I was just starting my journey as a online market like 10 years ago, I fall for this kind of trap selling tips in a PDF format, but once you buy and read them, they are just rehearse or just a copy of other "tips" where you can get it for free.

Do you mean Bitcoin maximalist? 


Because there are majority who wanted to used Bitcoin more as a currency.


But it also takes a lot of discipline to hold on it for a long time and when to sell to book more profits.


The community is growing, just look at how many member we currently have in this forum, it already exceeded millions about a year ago and there are a lot of new faces coming in and in no time pushing the price or believing that the price could increase in the next 2 years.

Correct, sample size of crypto is small that we can't used it a basis let's say the looming financial crisis or when the stock market crashes. So for now, we really don't know what's going to happen. Maybe some of them will moved to crypto as hedge or just will liquidate their assets.


Let's see if either scenario will happen. For one, I don't see any correlation, but as you have said, in times of crisis people do irrational behavior just to survived and we might see a few shifting their funds to crypto or just go for precious metals as leverage.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You see, addresses doesn't have a name attached to it so it's unlikely that you can recover your funds as transactions are irreversible. As others have pointed out, this is a hard and expensive lessons to learn.


Try to scan your machine of any malware, enable 2FA if possible in your accounts in the future. Don't put all your money in an exchange, just like what happen to you or in cases a exchange get's hack your funds will be all gone as well.

Ok let us go a step back and see what contributes to Jihan's being booted as CEO

1. Support of BCH
2. Expanding their mining farm (Texas, if I'm not mistaken, which cost them millions)
3. Failed IPO.
4. Supported BCH in the war against Bitcoin SV

I think the last straw for the board of directors decision to let him go as CEO and be replaced is my number 3. They have lost millions of millions specially when the price of BCH decline in this bear market. And this news surfaced as early as December 2018 and early 2019. There are even reports that Jihan is starting his own mining company. Anyways, let's see which direction would be the new CEO will bring Bitmain in the next coming years.

And just like that, Isner took the long route but beat Agut on his own game. 7-6,7-6 and ended Agut's run. Federer also advances with a win against Medvedev.  Coric though fell against Auger Aliassime, another young prospect at 18 years of age. QF match to watch: Federer vs Anderson, but I think Federer can win this one easy.

No problem with that lost bud,  , yeah at least we have some fun watching the games.

I agree, I don't see blockchain making any difference here. Probably the OP just wanted to use the technology behind, but it doesn't really makes sense at all. And who is going to pay to help improved the AI? It's hard to compete against, Google Translate with all the funding behind, I don't know if the project can really compete at high level, sorry to burst the bubble to the OP.

That is, if you know how to read those trend and take advantage of it, otherwise it's going to be hard to make money day trading if you don't know at least some basic. With that said, if you love day trading, then try to learn and anticipate what could be the next move based on the trend of the coins you are planning to day trade. It sounds easy, but it's not, you also need to have some mental toughness and know when to sell and book profits. But for those who doesn't want to complicated things then you have the options to just HODL, just saying.

Definitely it will have a huge impact on the people behind the exchange, specially on how to protect their cold or hot wallet from any hacking. They should emulate or at least learn from the top exchanges right now, like Binance.


It's because they sought the help of the police and reported the hack that's why NZ police is hot on the trail of the hackers. Well, I do hope that they really learn their lessons and this should be the one last hack we should heard about Cryptopia, otherwise no one will trust this exchange anymore.

LOL. You are not the only one who losses on that Djokovic match. I put a big bet on him, seeing him win the first set easy. However the rain did some damage, it broke his momentum and Agut caught fire and this is the second time he dealt Djokovic an early exit. Anyways, just part of the game, we win some and we lose some. Agut will be facing Isner, so I don't know if I'm going to bet against him. 

Yes, that a good indication, at least we are not seeing the price going down below $3600 at this point. It went slightly below $4000 if I'm not mistaken, but we quickly regain it and we are back above that price once again. Might be a sign that the bears is really exhausted at this point and there are no one thinking of selling their precious bitcoin. But we should give at least at the end of the year, or at least the last quarter of the year to see where we are, specially before the much anticipated block halving next year. So it's going to be exciting, might be a slow grind but let the market flow organically and see where it goes before the end of the year.
