There is a report about hackers who stole and leaked the database of Daniel Hosting (DH), it is the larger free web hosting provider in the market, the home of all related crypto forums and stories. The hackers say that he is also part of the collective and allegedly got the information after the second hacking, so he has now more information about what to do.

This leads to shutting down all the services and urged the users to migrate their sites to new ones on the dark web, so the information they have would not be able to access by the hackers and they have to migrate it to other websites so it would not be gone. According to the reports, the leaked data is 3671 email addresses, 7205 passwords, and 8850 private keys, assessing the numbers of information that has been stolen, that is too much information they had it all now, what would happen next after than thing.

Just for quick action from what happened:

DH warned its affected users that they should immediately change the password that the hacker leaked, as they could be used to hijack new accounts that site owners create with other providers.

Although DH is reportedly the home of illegal cybercrime-related sites, it also hosts many owners of dissident and political sites, who could have their identity revealed to the authorities, according to the hosting provider.

[If you receive message like this, do not entertain them:]

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether and hundreds more are a hot commodity in online trading, and it’s possible for a smart investor to make a big profit. But the prospect of quick riches can blind some people to the risks and enable crooks to lure them into scams.

If you receive message like this, do not entertain them:

*Someone you don’t know sends you a message out of the blue about a virtual currency investment opportunity.

- Do not believe to strangers, do not believe if he messages you out of nowhere and asking you to join some currency investment because most of the time scammers use investments websites to scam people, they will ask you to put some of your money and will promise to give you something in return then nothing happens.

*The pitch claims that a virtual currency investment involves no risk and surefire profits.

- Always remember that there is no legit investment websites that has no risk if you receive something like that, do not believe because that is scam for sure. Always remember that if you invest you should know that you are taking a risk and you should invest only you afford to lose.

4 Common Cryptocurrency Scams
1. Imposter websites - There are so many fake websites you can find through the internet, even though the website seems like an original website as what you are thinking and if you don't see any "http" on the URL, think twice, because an original website always has "http". Always double check the URL do not be contented on doing copy pasting, make double checking.

2. Fake Mobile Apps - One trick of the hackers and scammers is creating fake mobile apps, most of this are related to cryptocurrency, I'd been used a cryptocurrency application that I can earn money but the truth is not because they ask you to put first a specific amount of bitcoin before you proceed to the program of the application.

3. Bad Tweets and Other Social Media Updates - if you are following a famous person, you should make sure that it is his or her legit account because there are times that they will offer something and because of being fame people are tend to believe.

4. Scamming Emails - Even if it looks exactly like an email you received from a legitimate cryptocurrency company, take care before investing your digital currency. Always make reviews when trying some websites to assure yourself that you are visiting the real website.

[Cryptocurrency scams]

With the widespread use of cryptocurrency and lose regulations, many users have been tricked and scammed by fraudsters. You have to make sure that the right gateways are being used, your information is not being traced and your details are not being hacked. With so much going on on the internet, it is essential that you safeguard yourself from such scams.

Cryptocurrency scams
1. Initial Coin Offering - ICOs act as a way to raise funds, where a company looking to raise money to create a new coin, app, or service launches an ICO. Interested investors can buy into the offering and receive a new cryptocurrency token issued by the company. This token may have some utility in using the product or service the company is offering, or it may just represent a stake in the company or project. There are some ICO's that are meant to scam people by bot giving something in return.
2. Unregulated Brokers & Exchanges - There are so many unregulated online exchanges ee can see through the internet and most of them are a scam, once you deposited something they will offer you something in return but as time goes by, nothing happens.
3. Bitcoin trading system - There are so many websites for the bitcoin trading system but always be wise on choosing the best one, Because Bitcoin is on the internet, they are even easier to steal and much harder to return and trace. Bitcoin itself is secure, but bitcoins are only as secure as the wallet storing them. Investing in bitcoin is no joke, and securing your investment should be your top priority.

Ways to have safely trading cryptocurrency
As we all know trading cryptocurrency is just taking a risk but we can make some ways to lessen its risk.
1. Invest only what you can afford to lose - as what I have said above trading is taking a risk so always set aside the money that you are going take a risk, the money that you are willing to lose in a way that you will no be so much be affected if you lose it, of course, w should be open about that.
2. Research investment opportunities carefully - it is really important that we have knowledge or information before we do something because this will be our key to success. There is no better weapons than knowledge.
3. Trade cryptocurrency CFDs instead - If you want to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency then the use of a Contract for Difference (CFD) is an option to consider. You won't actually own the cryptocurrency, which means you don't face the hassle and hurdles of trying to buy via one of the unregulated exchanges. Instead, a CFD is a financial instrument that allows you to speculate on price movements, which is really good for you to make your time more productive because you won't need to check the price movement time by time.

Scammers are so great on fooling so many people they don't care even you are under age or anything, money are the only thing they want so they would not think if they would steal money from unfortunate people. So always be careful and be wise on visiting some restricted websites, clicking some advertisement because based on my experience those are the things where you can get the malware and some of the malware are made by hackers and scammers.

I just wanna list down the things you may do to avoid being scammed that I have read on the article.
1. Spot imposters - Always be careful on trusting anyone on your surroundings because most of the time the one who is closed to you are the one that will fool you. It happens most of the time, money is so powerful, they will do things just to steal it on you.
2. Do Online searches - This is what I always do when visiting some websites, especially when it is about investing or trading websites because some of the websites are scam and in order to avoid it, you should search some reviews or information about it.
3. Don’t believe your caller ID - Scammers are so great, they can create a credible account, so always be careful on talking to someone especially when it talks about money.
4. Don’t pay upfront for a promise - This are the common things that may happen when you win on some websites and they are sending message that before you claim the prize, you have to input first money. Do not believe on that, that can be scammed.
5. Talk to someone - Always do double checking, you may ask on your friends or to someone that you can talk to, ask if you are doing the right thing. Some of their advise are really good.

COVID-19 affects so much in different countries, it is really dangerous virus to the point that it affects so many people lives, businesses, etc. and the government decided to implement community quarantine to prevent the risk of spreading the virus but still, many people are still going outside to do their stuffs which results to add more infected person.

Actually one of the reason why this virus can't stop is because of those people who don't care about the virus, those person who don't care about the rules of the government. It made me realize, does COVID-19 is the real dangerous or the people?

With that, the government decided to have total lockdown just to kill this virus, this lockdown is really hard for those poor people, it would be hard for them to survive for that total lockdown because not all people would be given a support by the government.

I do not recommend you guys to play casino gambling as of this current situation on which COVID-19 is still spreading around the world, but if the virus passed away you may use this tips if you are going to play in casino gambling.

1. Limit your budget - If you are already in the casino gambling, it will be hard for you to control yourself from betting, so the best thing that you must do is to limit your budget before going to casino gambling.
2. Be comfortable on the place - you don't need to get panic while playing, being panic because if thinking that authorities may enter the casino and will arrest you. That is impossible because some casino buildings are legal and have legal paper. So do not panic because it will affect you while playing.
3. Know what games you should play - that is really important, you should play only on those game on which you know that you can win the game, actually, you should choose the game that requires skills and techniques to win.

Casino gambling more entertaining compared to online gambling because we can really feel the ambiance of the building and we can assure ourselves that we are playing on a legitimate games.

Do you believe that cryptocurrency will help our country to be globalized? Or are those people who are against having cryptocurrency for our country to be globalized?

Well, we have all different perceptions regarding cryptocurrency, but for me, cryptocurrency can be a great help to make our country globalized, Cryptocurrency is much safer and faster compared to fiat currencies when we are talking about transactions because all things happen through online or internet is great compared to the real world.

If we use cryptocurrency in exporting different kinds of stuff and goods then we will have faster transactions which are really good especially when talking about economics.

I have read a thread about this thing but actually, it was already different as of this year, our economic always change so I made this thread if there are already changes in the perception of others as of this year.

The good news about the crypto community, yesterday, French court calls bitcoin as legal currency. Bitcoin is official now official money in France. We should expect now that they will be going to support the bitcoin mining machine in their country and they will going to boost up the bitcoin in their country.

So the lending, trading, investing, buying and selling of different currencies in their country are all allowed now. The thing about this is bitcoin becomes so good in different country, bitcoin became so known in different country all over the world, they already see the benefits of different currencies, Cryptocurrency is much safer and faster than fiat currency in terms of transactions, because, you don't even need to make effort, go to some establishment to progress the transactions, all things can be done through the use of internet, that is what I really want in cryptocurrency.

The good thing about other cryptocurrencies that accept it in their land, is they may earn so much money compared to what fiat currencies can give to them.

Aside from that, it is good for investing and trading because for sure you will earn from it, because of the volatility of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin becomes so popular all over the world. There are a lot of countries that accept the cryptocurrency in their land, especially in New York, where they plant a generator for only bitcoin machine purposes. The plant is only accessible for any bitcoin machine, so it means that there will be no traffic in the transactions of the bitcoin in New York because they already have a generator for the bitcoin machine. There are about 7,000 crypto machines in New York located in the Finger Lakes region.

The said generator plant can mine for about 50,000$ for day, which is somehow equivalent to 5 BTC, that is really big for one day, so I think it will really benefit the Ney York, they say that before they are only using it when the peak demands but now as they realized to advantage of this crypto machine they will run it for the whole year.

The good thing about other countries is they are willing to cost a lot of many for technology, so as a result, they became more successful and influential because of the things that they are doing. Cryptocurrency is perfect for the economy because of its fastest and safest transactions online.

I want to know what do you prefer between online gambling and casino gambling? Is it better for you to play online or land-based casino?

First things first, Online gambling happens through the use of the internet as simple as that, and casino gambling is no on the internet, so basically, it is the building or rooms for social amusements, where your body is required to play the gamble.

Let us consider the advantages and disadvantages of both kinds of gambling.
Online Gambling
Advantages
1. Convenience - You can play the game anywhere and anytime, and that is so good for some gamblers that they are the ones who decide when and where to start playing.
2. Promotion - there are a lot of gambling sites that give some promotion to their loyal users.
Disadvantages
1. Less communication - When you play online, you cannot communicate and socialize with anyone because there is no interactions happen.
2. The award or prizes - if you are playing online and you win the game, then you cannot claim the prize as soon as possible because it takes a process.

Casino Gambling
Advantages
1. Ambiance - When you play in the real casino, you will feel that you are really in the casino because of its ambiance.
2. Interaction - When you are playing in a real casino, of course, you will get interaction with some people there so you may have friends.
Disadvantages
1. Time Wasting -It is not like online games that you are responsible when and where to play the game, so in a real casino, you need to go to the casino to play the game.
2. Pressure - The pressure is there because you can see some reactions to your opponents.

These are what I know about the difference of Online gambling and casino gambling, so if you know more than that, you may comment on this post.

There are so many gamblers in this virtual world, and even in real life. The numbers or the population of gamblers are considered as bitcoin; it increases or decreases day by day. When they enter the casino, they will play the game that they want or their trip to play on that moment without analyzing the situation, that is maybe because they are just gambling to be entertained or to remove the boredom, but for me, it wasn't enough, I am not contented with the joy that I can find on gambling if I am going to lose the game. I can not imagine myself being happy after losing my money on betting. Money is power, and I don't want to go home without winning any single game in the casino.

So for you to prevent being lost in the casino, you should observe the games that have the best odds, of course, there is a research about those chances to win in different games in the casino, some of the casino games are hard to win, and some are easy to win. One of the gambling game that has a 50% odds of winning is the blackjack, it is easy to play, for you to win, your card should be close to 21 without exceeding it, and it has an element of skill for you to win, which is better than relying or hopping on your luck. As well as the roulette game having a 50% odds of winning too because only black and red is the result for you to win the game.

There are so many gamblers in this virtual world. Some can still control themselves, and there are also who can not control themselves when they are already in the form of the long table with a full of card any bet of different gamblers, and those are considered as Compulsive gambling.

First things first, compulsive gambling is the uncontrollable eagerness on gambling, even though you keep on losing the game, you forgot to do some valuable things than gambling and forgetting to spend your spare time with your family and in a way that you don't mind how much money you spend and how much money you already to the game. 

There are times that whenever your family and your friend advise to you about stopping on gamble, you keep on ignoring them, you do not listen to them anymore even though they care so much to you and when you deny them then you may consider yourself having a compulsive gambling disorder, you don't care anymore to anyone, the only thing you want is gambling.
I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you.

This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.

But to share my opinion, I consider gambling as a threat to gamblers. Yes, there are a lot of people who find happiness in gambling if and only if they can control their selves from this, but no matter how fun can gambling gives to you, the problem is still there, the addiction on it is always there, it grows day by day. There are so many disadvantages of being so addicted in gambling, one of which is forgetting your priority, spending your time to your family and your friend, you won't be able to more productive things than losing money, to the point that even you already lose and don't have enough money to play, you will make ways, there are times that you will ask a request to your friend to give you money as debt. You should be the one who controls the gamble and don't let the gamble control you.

Nakakatulong nga ba sa ating mga pilipino ang mga price prediction ng mga batikan at sabihin na nating magaling na mga investors sa bitcoin o isa lang itong falsehope o sa tagalog ay paasa?

Based on some analyst made by popular bitcoin traders, the price of bitcoin will go upto $100,000 on upcoming 24months as of today and we has nothing to do with it but to wait that thing will happen. Herw are some reasons with regards to that:

1.A position trader is making noise on social media after tweeting an ultra bullish prediction on bitcoin.
2.The cryptocurrency’s performance in the last two halvings may have prompted the analyst to make a bold call.
3.Other big names in the industry share a more conservative price target.
