We all keep a lot of personal information on our phones and obviously don’t want to share our correspondence, cryptocurrency wallets, or contacts to become a part of the public domain. Nonetheless, in some cases, authorities can ask you to provide full access to your device.

Is this even legal? Can you refuse to give your phone to law enforcement? How can you protect your cryptocurrency wallet?

It is true that the phone stores a lot of important personal information. A smartphone capable of storing large information. If someone views your phone, be careful. They may steal your password to work illegally. Need to protect bitcoins with secure passwords only you know.
Decrypting the password is not hard. Don't forget the alternative hijacking options and the existence of brute-force with the well-written "word list". In all cases, I prefer to store the private keys and BTCs in offline devices which have the offline way to process the transactions on the blockchain.

Wait.. do you guys store your private keys online or offline in your device like smartphone or computer? Damn, you shouldn't.

Use a device that is used only to store your private keys, it is private keys and it needs private place. So use hardware wallet or something that is only for it.
In general, storing the private keys in the online devices is always risky no matter how strong protection the user applies. Personally, I have stored the private keys of the hot wallet for trading and this data was encrypted with the AxCrypt Premium which is the best from my own experience.

The panic doesn't work in such situations, I suggest to keep touch with the Bitpanda social media accounts.
Write your experience on the crypto forums and Trustpilot.
Check your email history and try to find the withdrawal-related content as proof.
If you are not from EEA countries, there is no way to confirm the identity of Bitpanda users without a manual check. Their automatic KYC system is only accessible by Europan customers,AFAIK.
84  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Where to buy bitcoin at cheap price with Payoneer Card? on: January 05, 2020, 05:31:40 PM
Be very careful if you buy bitcoins on Coinbase and Binance as suggested above, Payoneer may suspend your account in no time.
They don't allow transactions related to cryptocurrencies, you can read their policy it is clearly stated. If you use the card, of course, they will know it and so they will terminate your account definitely. And you will never be able to have another one.

I wouldn't even try.
Well said, the third-party transaction will checked by the Poloniex team. I also prefer not to risk the account in this situation.
Instead of directly buying with SimpleX(the main provider for Binance, Myetherwallet, and other exchanges), OP can fund his Skrill, Neteller account and trade the Skrill balance for Bitcoin. Without the middleman, I wouldn't even attempt to test it.
85  Economy / Marketplace / Re: What’s Stopping Crypto Markets from Entering the Mainstream on: January 05, 2020, 04:23:42 PM
Things may not be quite as ostentatious as they were in 2017, but cryptocurrencies are having an outstanding year. Not only has their collective market cap quadrupled since the start of the year, but they are enjoying bullish sentiment on many fronts. ( In macro look)

Whether it’s the unmistakable entrance of institutional investors into the crypto space or the fact that you can buy a latte with Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies are undoubtedly trending higher. Even Facebook, the world’s most popular social media platform, is entering the fray, introducing its cryptocurrency, Libra to its 2.5 billion users.

Consider these growth metrics for the crypto sector:

84% of respondents to a PwC executive survey are dabbling in crypto’s underlying technology, the blockchain
89% of the U.S. population has heard of Bitcoin, a 12% increase since 2017
11% of the U.S. population has invested in a cryptocurrency
34,660,975 people have created a blockchain wallet, a number that has risen every quarter since 2016.

More info and source here

Taken together, it’s clear that crypto is making significant inroads at many levels of financial and technological space. And yet, obstacles remain to crypto investment markets becoming normative and broadly accepted. Even though cryptos are outperforming every other major investment vehicle in 2019, including stocks, bonds, gold, and oil, they remain a fringe industry.


What do you think is the real reason Crypto is not becoming Mainstream?




I think Crypto is hardly entering the mainstream simply because our society is not ready yet for this kind of monetary system. Besides, due to some issues on government like the prohibition of this technology is having really a big impact. Could be one reason is that Crypto is too abstract. Though investors who have already experienced using this in their transaction there are still a large number of people who have to prefer to invest in physical objects such as golds. Therefore. there are lots of factors that could still affect Crypto upon entering the mainstream but if we will give some more time for people to understand I am pretty sure that this will eventually become mainstream.
If we discuss the entering mainstream for cryptocurrencies, thinking like a business plan will make things easier. Putting the business plan in front of the investors, preparing it and adding the advantages are necessary for convincing the investor. If there is no real use case for the majority of the projects, the investor will take the second option with the higher use case by people in normal life. The applied cases are our best argument for competing with physical assets.
86  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back to $10k soon according to Bloomberg? on: January 04, 2020, 03:51:58 PM

The countdown for halving have been begun long ago, market is predicted to give a hard price pumping this year. To the expectation there is no big movement forward. Probably this is an indication of price pumping for the falling weeks. Last year there is no halving and no big event, the growth started from the second quarter and gave a reach as high as $14000. This time we've got more special events to fall one by one with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This way reaching $10000 can happen anytime soon.
You are really very interesting and correctly expressed your opinion and I probably agree with you regarding the expectations of cryptocurrency users in the near future.  But, as always, the next news in the information space can be charged with the situation, which always negatively affects the cryptocurrency market and cryptocurrency pricing.

All this news is used for speculation on the volatile crypto markets, there is no reason to keep hopes at a high level. In my opinion:
The news=Excuse for pump/dump
The time of news=The exit point for speculators
The FUD about the expected result of news= The elimination process of weak hands aka inexperienced traders
After news: Dump the orders placed by news traders after watching the event.
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance’s IEOs keep Dumping, but why? on: January 03, 2020, 03:09:38 PM
However the issues that occur in IEO binance. They are always a good choice for investing in IEO, rather than having to take greater risks in other exchanges. for price reductions, for me is common. Compared to losing everything.
If the tokens are dumped after getting listed on the exchange, why investors should keep faith in the new IEOs? The risks are always actual no matter how bad or good the market we trade. I will divide my investment between the IEOs and new altcoins. Good choices don't make investment more profitable, the market does in my market experience.

And here we go, another mistake costs millions of dollars faster the blink of an eye. The Japanese guy also made a similar mistake 2 years ago in the traditional marketplace, the cat walked over his notebook and pressed some buttons which executed a billion-dollar transaction. That cat cost the Japan hedge fund an over $140 million and that irresponsible guy was fired.
89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Projects that failed to keep their promise in 2019 on: January 01, 2020, 05:40:22 PM
This problem of Bounty hunters going without pay at the end of Tokensale will not end if the forum or reputable members do nothing about it. Many projects like Enviin, Tokenpay all had a successful ICO but never paid hunters at the end no one did anything about it.
I can't a 3 bounty campaigns which were not successful to promote their project in the right way. I doubt the market is the reason why bounty allocation was not distributed and the team is responsible for the lack of support. The many projects failed to deliver the product and they broke their own promises before the end of ICO/IEO.

Right now is a bad time for altcoin but as you said, I will not be too negative for this issue and consider holding in the long term, that will make it impossible for us to control the activities in the market, ignoring the good signals. The short-term view will bring more advantages, the bad days never last long, it also has the days of recovery, knowing activities in such scope and trend will bring us much profit, a lot of people have achieved that success in the bad days of crypto, accumulating and then shining then withdrawing is all they do
if you want to survive for the long term I suggest that you make sure the assets you have are assets that have long-term potential. if the asset you have is a token without real product development in the market then you better leave your assets for a better altcoin. believe the market will be improved in the future. we must be patient waiting.
The long term investment should be based on the research, the investors are supposed to make their own research in the investment process. The future of any project depends on the market conditions and instead of wasting time tp predict the market prices, investors can spend this time with analyzing the potential projects.

BI Primer, Cryptos -- The process of Bitcoin maturing into a digital version of gold vs. the rest of the oversupplied cryptocurrency market is increasingly the focus of our crypto assets research. Prices for the first-born crypto should keep appreciating on the back of adoption

No need to copy-paste the tweet, next time add the quote to your post for avoiding any problem with the forum rules.

Regarding the idea of turning BTC to digital Gold, this theme is debatable. The promising cryptocurrencies will turn into the store of value and huge supply altcoins will turn to the payment processors in right time. For microtransactions, large supply altcoins will be faster and the smaller units will be suitable for from the cost perspective.
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What should I do with a 1000$ and what would you do? on: December 24, 2019, 04:57:32 PM
New investors are interested in new projects. Ltc I think it is a good project but the price does not increase. Many projects were born as rivals to the ethereum. But the Ethereum is still very strong. New things are interesting. I think some projects might change names.
Some projects simply don't have intention to follow the promising projects due to the competition. I have used the many altcoins for payment purpose, some projects have a faster transaction per second rate. XRP an XML have the higher speed per transaction and the transaction is confirmed in matter of seconds.
93  Economy / Gambling / Re: FIRST Peer-2-Peer betting website. NO HOUSE & NO DEALER 1$ UNLIMITED GAINS on: December 22, 2019, 03:19:17 PM
You can change the design of site, it is not smooth for the average gambler. Looks like the developers of the betroom get motivation from the Betfair which is the best gambling exchange for p2p trades. Especially for sports betting, some sites have liquidity providers and they only take a small commission form the winning side. Just a small suggestion, you can add no zero roulette and apply the commission form the winners.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which game is most fair in Online Casino. on: December 22, 2019, 02:47:36 PM
Well, you could say that all of them are fair and at the same time not? I mean, their fair because luck plays a huge part like literally everything in Casinos. But you could also predict some like let's say, blackjack. Once the deck is almost gone, if you could memorize the cards drawn, you could check and see whether the remaining cards could get you blackjack or not, but that's only for those that can memorize them, which is close to null. Other than that, pretty much you could say Online casino games are fair. Like, we wouldn't be here trying our luck if they weren't right?
Slots have the worst percentage of winning, IIRC. The red side of the European roulette has a 47% chance to hit the table, same is actual for black color. AFAIK, the blackjack has the best probability of winning if the experienced gambler can use the right strategy during the game. Money management + proven blackjack strategy will give great opportunities.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How and why to buy Stablecoins in 2020 on: December 22, 2019, 01:30:49 PM
Traders use the stablecoins for protecting their trades from the market volatility and it is the best option instead of converting the holdings to fiat money. The converted cash can cause additional problems such as an investigation by the banks in case of big amounts from the crypto exchange but this is not a case for the stablecoins.
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some big things to watch for in 2020 on: December 20, 2019, 06:54:09 PM
Thanks for sharing the interesting article and your opinion regarding the subject. In my opinion, the US government intervention is not going to have a huge impact on the market due to the business realities. Halving will have a huge impact overall on altcoins and BTC price, the bull market is near. Sec and Telegram fight will end with the victory of Telegram, they have passed the minimum legal requirements AFAIK.
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO/IEO projects are lying to airdrop and bounty participants for a long time! on: December 13, 2019, 03:05:48 PM
Not a great advice, just don't forget that many bounty hunters made a quite good amount in the last bull market. The bounty rewards should be hidden by the bounty hunters, this is not job contract. The fixed-rate per bounty participant will slow down the developing bounty industry and the stumbled bounty campaigns will not pay the token. Why just simply ask the stable coin bounty rewards, wouldn't it be easier?
98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: So many altcoins on: December 13, 2019, 02:27:17 PM
Many new altcoins appear, a good thing for the future of cryptocurrency, with many altcoins will be able to pump market prices back from the dump, but during the bitcoin dump, many new projects are not qualified so that many make spammers so it is difficult to choose which projects new ones that have potential for the future, if we are really careful in seeing new projects, I'm sure there are still good new projects
The first step is the bull market, the rest will follow each other. The manual intervention is impossible,e and this kind of intervention can ruin the reputation of any project before they run out of the money. The new projects don't have a better perspective compared to the top 10 altcoins. The high interest is necessary for launching the new project, otherwise, it is not different to gamble with the additional money on volatile markets, especially in the bear market.
