Your “how to” guide wasn't really that organized in a way of what kind of scam are you trying to explain since you have mixed both website scams and ICO scams. Your thread would be better if you organized your guide in a way of separating both your ICO scam project guide and your websit scam guide as it will be much easier to understand for the newbies. Your contwnt and explanation was great but the structure of how you explain it was messy.

Look if they have proven that the app of Tik Tok is spying on their users I think they have the right to ban it because first of all it is violating the privacy of its citizens and it is one of their first rights being a citizen, if the government doesn't act properly then they are basically not interested in protecting their rights. This is really not about the protection of their economy or the internet being regulated but the protection of their rights. And also I'm still wondering why these app stores like Apple and Google are still keeping Tik Tok available for download even if they have proven it spying to their users.

Upsets can happen in European football for example Ajax defeated Juventus last year and nobody think they could do it and they almost defeated Tottenham during the semi-finals. Same thing could be said with Napoli against Barcelona even if their last game resulted into a draw at their home it doesn't make their odds smaller facing Barca at home. During times like this where everything is on the line I think they will always try to do their best that's why we will keep seeing upsets in big matches like this one.

[Guide] Decent mixing methods

Theymos created this guide for mixing and I think this is a good way to start if you want to mix your cryptocurrencies. Basically he mentioned Wasabi Wallet as a good way of mixing and the other way he mentioned is about converting your Bitcoin or other crypto to Monero (XMR) as this crypto is considered as a anonymity focused crypto. The latter of course might be an expensive way of mixing crypto as you will be converting back and forth the crypto you will have so I don't think this is a good idea if you are avoiding fees.

This is really not a bad idea in the first place since we have an Altcoin section here in ghe forum even if our forum is named after Bitcoin. Althought I have to agree with the others that having a DeFi section might be too much since technically they are still tokens for decentralized finance projects so maybe the best middle ground here is having some kind of childboard for DeFi projects within the Altcoin section. However this will only be possible if there is am actual demand for one since theymos won't create another childboard if there will be no readers.

I guessed we already got the point here since the OP got their exchange to have an Estonian License with it I doubt that they are looking for free ways of promoting their website because if they will just rely on their friends and family to post tweets and retweets I doubt that it would have the same affect as promotions actually coming from ad pages. This kind of advertisement will only make them "scammy" looking as what people generally see on crypto related advertisements coming from people they know. Like what I said on my first post in this thread if they want to have the right audience its best for them to pick crypto ad networks to promote their banners for their site.

I was reading the news and I was wondering why a 17 year old can be charged in a case like this even if he is a minor and article in Verge clarified that the law in Florida allows to be charged and possible get prison sentence even if you are a minor on financial fraud cases. I think this minor isn't really an ordinary person since he can do what he did but the wrong thing he done is assume that he can get away with this just for being a minor. Plus finding accomplices with him over the age of 18 just only make him look like he really planned the hack. But since this is just the early stages on the discoveries I doubt we have seen everything and there might really be a real mastermind here controlling these kids.

I like your theory here but it doesn't necessarily mean you need over 90 million dollars to pump Bitcoin by 1% because technically you took your calculations in the wrong way and that is combining the top crypto exchanges where you don't necessarily need to do so because Bitcoin can be pump in just 1 exchange where you can effectively used lesser money to pump Bitcoin by 1%. Maybe create a new kind of article where you show the prices on how much people need to pump Bitcoin on each exchange rather than combining all of them.

Also I don't think P2P exchanges are at fault here. LocalBitcoin's wasn't this strict when it comes to their compliance with the government but then the authorities came knocking that's why we have seen them freeze accounts for KYC compliance. So we don't need to be surprised in implementing Elliptic's service maybe this is just their way of showing to the authorities that they intend their service to be free from illicit activities as long as possible on their side.

I doubt that this is the case if we look at in any dominance chart Bitcoin impressively has sustained it's market dominance at above 60% of the total market cap showing that BTC is still holding the biggest share in the crypto market. It would be harder for other cryptocurrencies to pump if the biggest share is on the top cryptocurrencies, so maybe the ones who you are seeing going up are just price pumps without volume  which happens all the time to less popular cryptocurrencies, in other words this isn't really an "alt season" if that's what you are asking.

I'm aware that Google's app store whether it is in the Playstore or Chrome Webstore is a gold mine when it comes to fake and scammy apps that are mostly malicious in nature but they can easily be avoided by looking for their reviews, date uploaded, uploader name or basically everything in their "about" section which will make you see that the app you are downloading is the real version. These anti-phising extension is really helpful and this can be treated as a first layer of defense rather than just always relying on your eyes being observant as always.

I think majority of the people here are taking his statement out of context. When he said "cash is trash" this was his way of telling people that if they had extra money lying around they must put it into diversifying their investment portfolio. He mentioned about it being a medium of exchange so I don't think he is saying that cash is actually useless but is something not worth it to hold if you have extra lying around. Just by holding cash you are technically devaluing it as the inflation rate decreases its purchasing power while if your money is on stocks it has even a chance for you to be richer than what you are before.

Aside from his insane salary I think a few clubs are interested an him because at his position they can get young wonderkids at a cheaper price both in terms of transfer fee and salary. His spot is actually overloaded with talent and at 31 years old almost ready to finish his prime I don't think a lot of people will be actually trying to get him not unless he will be asking for a lower salary and Real willing to let him go near half his value.

That's one point I have missed out and you are right if people are engaged more than the OP on his own topic I think they should continue to discuss it but in this way where even the OP cannot moderate his own thread and his topic is somehow generic then there is a high chance it can be a spam thread with only members parroting the same responses. If we can somehow have a voting system where 3 or 4 people have answered the same response in a page or two then it is eligible to be locked to avoid it being a spam thread.

I don't know if I suggested this before or not but I think the best way to avoid spam threads is having some kind of automation when it comes to locking a thread. Like when the first 2 or 3 pages the OP of the thread hasn't replied to his own topic then the thread will automatically be locked. This just means that the OP itself isn't interested in his own topic and he just posted it for no educational reason. This way we can easily avoid having megathreads with the same generic answers from people.

I think the biggest difference between the two is with stock trading you can overlap both technical and fundamental analysis when trading where in crypto trading only TA is present. What I mean about an overlap is you can used both analysis to make your price prediction more accurate as fundamental analysis is something good to be used if you are betting on a financially good performing stock. Crypto on the other hand only has TA and also news that can trigger FOMO and FUD which makes it harder for you to rely only on its chart.

Are you talking about this one? Because it looks like you are right, they have given their interviews to the times which I think is a dumb move after committing a successful fraud, they are even proud of what they have done and they are not afraid to tell it to someone else. The Times said that these hackers are confirmed to be involved with what happened to Twitter and they know their identity so I think it is just a matter of time before they catch all of them.

If there partnership with Paxos is official I think that Paypal has a good chance that they will be offering crypto trading because there is really no other reason why Paypal will partner up with a crypto related firm without them being at least interested in a crypto related business. I know that Paypal before is against any kind of crypto industry related business as they are also against crypto related transactions being used in their service but with them partnering up with crypto related business I think this is a good sign to say that Paypal have changed their minds with crypto.

I think the general answer for price predictions particularly the long term ones is that we don't know since there is a lot of things we need to factor in that we haven't think about yet making a price prediction now would be highly inaccurate. One of the best example there is Bitcoin's halving where a lot of people predicted that it will trigger a FOMO because it affects the "supply" and for other various reasons but even after months from the halving date we still have not see Bitcoin go up in value. Maybe the best way to accurate predict Bitcoin's price movement is just by looking at their charts in a short term view not ranging more than a month of what you are trying to predict.

Even if they are that vulnerable like what you have said the tech industry is not as vulnerable to other industries where their business involves around products being sold physically or properties being leased as right now these types of businesses are the ones who goes first in this scenario like Airplane companies shutting down their operations and Hotels closing down some of their branches for goods. Tech industry on the other hand doesn't have these kinds of vulnerabilities so I think it's really better if the OP tries to answer this question directly as he is the one experiencing it in his company.
