When a website is seized by US Government Authorities, they are required to display it on the homepage from the day one. So when you visit the site you will see a big logo from a U.S. agency telling that Bittrex has been seized... bla bla... article XYZ bla bla
Then if the authorities need to investigate, they get the databases etc and scrutinize it outside, in their own environment

10$ is the average price used to sell those cards by other services. I think the cheapest is Advcash because the card price is $5 (If I am not wrong)
I don't find the cards overpriced compared to the traditional cards we have with banks. To compare here it costs 2 times more. But I guess in some countries we can't say the same.
There are a dozen of websites with a debit cards option, you should take a look and compare because the site you posted doesn't look trustworthy, to be honest :/

Hi,
I re-installed Ledger Nano S(te new one) i took al the wallet apps of, disabled Adblock and on the ledger nano s i turned browser support off.
I think that,s all i cault find on forums and other troubleshoot page,s.
I faced the same problem this afternoon, I set up the wallet correctly and installed the Chrome extension turned off browser in settings etc. Still I wasn't able to open the wallet, nothing happened. You need to install the Chrome extension. I have lost 1 hour today to figure that I don't need the manager wallet app Chrome extension but the "Bitcoin wallet" extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ledger-wallet-bitcoin/kkdpmhnladdopljabkgpacgpliggeeaf?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog |

Sorry for you but there is no way, as you can't use Coinbase to exchange BTC with another crypto. It's not an exchange.
Maybe, find a friend with a Coinbase account to sell your bitcoin? (because you won't pay fees to send to another coinbase member)

Bitfinex is evil for sure. There are 2-3 others as well to avoid like AIDS.
I am happy so far with Cryptopia, using it for some months and all is fine. I needed some help the first day and they replied me quickly. It's something I appreciated. Not like some exchanges which don't reply or send you a canned answer.
I am hearing good also about Binance these days, it's one of those becoming popular

Since when did Kraken disable SEPA withdrawals for level 3 accounts?
It's one of the several errors messages that we get. I tried this morning and got this message as well, after a couple of F5 I have been finally able to order a SEPA. I have no idea what they are doing, or not, but I am done with Kraken |

11,000 - 10,000 = 1,000 It's just about 10% of the value. No problem for Bitcoin, a correction is for 3-4 days only lol. As usual, people in hurry will sell their bitcoins asap and other will use the opportunity to buy more bitcoins for cheap and sell when the price comes back. Then the next week the price increase by $1,000 or $2,000  |

Kraken should change its name to "Error 520: Web server is returning an unknown error"
I am in the same boat. Bitstamp seems a good alternative for European citizens but a little more strict than Kraken for KYC. I have a friend who tested it after also getting tired of Kraken and it looks good. If it's just to sell and to receive SEPA transfer there is also Bitwala (based in Germany.)
Didn't Bitstamp have some kind of security breach in their system, or maybe I got it mixed up with another exchange? Yes about 3 years ago, they had a security issue, they stopped all trading activities, deposits, etc until fixed. The bitcoins are stored in cold storage so they were not able to make more damages. It was a small incident compared to Bitfinex hack and the ~100 000 BTC stolen |

Why dont you try using cryptopia? They are the only exchange who allow US citizens without providing KYC or AML verifications, i have been using this exchange to buy a few altcoins and i have never had any problems.
We are from Europe, not the USA You realize that the USA and Europe are both on different continents right? We are not concerned with the fact that Cryptopia allows US citizens without providing KYC/AML (they allow anybody without KYC not U.S. only). An American can't make a SEPA transfer, (no bank is part of the European Payments Council) they use SWIFT. There is no fiat deposits in cryptopia, no SEPA no Swift, no bank wire, nothing |

Have you read anything about this? It seems that the European Central Bank is playing with the idea of no longer protecting deposits. Do you think it will happen? Do you think bitcoin and alts will moon even more?
European central bank? Seriously? Seems fun to know about it. Protecting deposits in the sense you mean that the treasury bills that the central bank issues to the people on behalf of the government? Because as far as I know, central banks usually don't accept deposits from general public, commercial banks do accept and the commercial bank have to separate some amount of deposits and keep it aside as a part of the SLR reserve before handing out the deposits as loans to other people. Or is it just limited to one economy and other economies have different rules on deposits and reserves? Correct me if I'm wrong, central banks never accept normal deposits, they only give out treasury bills sort of thing, right?
Let's agree to some point that if the central bank of Europe is willing to play with idea of no longer protecting the deposits of people, the people will start leaving the country . What will be the use of them staying in a country wherein the central bank itself cannot be trusted. Bitcoin will be considered later on, people care about their safety first. I'm sure there is some other reason behind the motive of playing with people's deposits, some catch is there definitely. European central bank gives directives to banks with the goal to control the monetary policy for the Euro and the Eurozone. Banks don't need to keep a percentage of the deposits for the SLR reserve. The SLR reserve exists in India only. As for the article, i think for most of us European citizen it's not so surprising and we were somehow excepting something like this soon or later. it's like the life insurances that are now dead... |

So I'm saying payment software for Bitcoin should incorporate the fee into the price instead of having to pay the fee on top of the price You forgot to consider that, basically with Bitcoin, you are supposed to set the fees yourself. How do you want a software knows what fees you agree to pay? If the fees were fixed then, for example, merchants could include the fees into the sales, let's 0.05 fees included (0.001 BTC). However what if the buyer is ready to purchase an item but he wants to pay 0.0005 BTC because it may be enough |

One of the big features of Bitcoin is that it is cheaper than paying with credit cards. Of course currently the Bitcoin fees are very high since it needs scaling so its only cheaper right now if you're buying a couple hundred dollars or more worth of stuff.
Anyways, businesses have hidden the credit card fees from consumers by pricing them in to products and eating the fees. With Bitcoin though, the sender pays the fee. Even if the fee is a lot lower than credit card fees, you're still spending more when using Bitcoin because the the sender pays the fee. This needs to change since businesses already price in fees. I've never bought anything with Bitcoin, so maybe this is already done by newegg and overstock, etc, but do you think retailers will subtract the fee paid from the price of the item when buying with Bitcoin? Do retailers do this now? If this doesn't happen, even if fees go way back down, this would be a terrible user experience if you have to pay a fee on top of the cost of a product when compared to paying with credit card where the fee included in that same sale price.
The fees from credits have never been hidden, it's something everyone is aware of, or at least they should be. You can't expect to go to the supermarket to buy tomatoes and see the price listed with the fees, VAT, origin, etc. Imagine: 3 kilo of tomatoes 5$ 5.10$ if you pay with a card 5.20$ if you pay with a cheque 5.05$ if you pay with a banknote it's to totally not doable. The fees to process a payment using a card is still far cheaper than the Bitcoin fees, it's just some cents usually. |

It's just a way to spin the wheel. Using the advantages of crypto currencies and to mix with the disadvantages of the traditional banking system.
A bank can create their own coin it doesn't mean you will have the full control of your funds. One of the ideologies of cryptocurrencies is to be independent of the banks not to be centralized again.

Cryptopia, as someone mentioned, doesn't have ID requirement ...but...as long you don't need to transfer out more than $5000 NSD (~$3500 USD) worth of crypto. But you can then become verified to increase this limit. There is no fiat involved in the site.
There are some complaints recently about Shapeshift so be careful using it.

I would never put my entire saving in cryptocurrencies.
Let's be honest, it's true that the market is performing very well but you don't know what can happen, and you can't deny the risk to lose money (for whatever reason, I am not talking about to be hacked or something similar, it's something that you should take care with everything).
If you diversify your portfolio you minimize the risks of loss, diversity is a golden rule in investments. To be greedy often lead to the wrong decision, especially when you're young. Use a little wisdom, it will be more beneficial in your decisions

Welcome @AmesFisher Bitcoin is the king and has the biggest community so far. You may don't know but there are surely companies providing solutions for businesses to help accepting multiple cryptocurrencies. What I mean is nothing is stopping you to accept only 1 cryptocurrency. To be honest I am not excepting to see bitcoin cash in an online shop. For me, to see Bitcoin and Ethereum are fine, but if I would need to choose I would prefer Bitcoin of course. Most business owners don't want to accept Bitcoin because of its volatility, but there are solutions for businesses to have their sales automatically converted to fiat (i.e. BitPay) so there is no fear anymore. Let's say I buy a 1 oz Gold Bar Credit Suisse for 0.10 BTC, I pay in Bitcoin but you, you will receive ~$1000 (I am fine with buying sovereigns for £275 to £300 but I will like to see a loyalty reward program lol ) Would anybody on here want to buy physical gold using their profits? Yes, definitely |

I believe Coinbase to be a legit USA cryptocurreny wallet, which is why I like it the best.
However, the problem I have with it, I can only deposit $250 per week for the next month. And, I can't use a credit card or debit card for a month? Why coinbase, why???
Does anybody recommend a legit USA cryptocurency wallet that I can deposit much larger amounts and quicker than Coinbase but offer the security that it represents???
Thanks
You can use an exchange: deposit money, buy your bitcoins and move them to your loved wallet. You can deposit up to $2,000 daily or 10,000 monthly with Kraken, without asking you to upload your id card, proof of address, etc. You still need to give your name, phone, birth date, of course. Another one is Bitstamp, but if you want to buy from a web-based wallet there is Xapo that can do this if I am not wrong |
