For those of you out there who are planning on buying more coins
like me when the market dips, have you guys set a target price where
you will buy?
The price has not yet reached what is ideally the price I would want to
buy bitcoin in despite its recent decline and I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?

Just like the title says is it Possible to "Directly Sending of Coins to another Coin Wallet in the future"?
I mean not like now that from Exchange we need to convert first to what Coins we need to receive before sending to our wallet , but is there any chance in the future that there will be Platform or system that we will be letting to do such?
Example = i have Ethereum and i want to receive Ripple , in which i don't need to convert to Ripple first before sending in which i can directly sent the ethereum and i will receive ripple to my wallet?

Although the Chinese regulatory bodies have maintained their distance from cryptocurrencies, it has not deterred the people in the country from partaking in the promising crypto mining industry – as a Chinese man was recently sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for stealing power from a train station to mine Bitcoin (BTC). The incident was reported by the local media outlet The Paper, on October 8, 2018. https://btcmanager.com/chinese-man-prison-for-stealing-electricity-mine-bitcoin/Oh well, he took the risk and now he is in jail. I wonder how much he earn mining bitcoin  because it means that he knows what his doing is wrong but I guess he see the $$$ that's why its worth a try. hehehe. |

xRapid goes live today, Ripple announces Today Ripple announced on its blog that xRapid, a system which utilizes Ripple liquidity to send cross border payments, has officially become commercially available and already being used by customers. XRP saw an unsurprising jump in price as a result, and as of this writing very close to pushing back into second place.
https://www.chepicap.com/en/news/4075/ripple-announces-that-xrapid-is-now-commercially-available.htmlNow let's watch and see how XRP will go to the moon or at least make a significant gains because of this new hype. Everyone should get onboard now. hehehe. It has surpassed ETH on the last couple of days but I don't think it will be enough though in the coming weeks or months. |

Unpacking the 5 Biggest Cryptocurrency ScamsCryptocurrencies have revolutionized the way the world looks at transactions - but they’ve also facilitated some monumental scams over the past nine years. The success of Bitcoin and a number of altcoins jumpstarted an industry that is incorporating Blockchain technology in a number of innovative ways. While the smartest minds have created some game-changing companies backed by the power of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, nefarious minds have also jumped on the bandwagon, fleecing unwitting investors in elaborate scams. ICOs fever spawns massive scams
Since Bitcoin’s inception in 2009, people have become increasingly enamoured with the idea of Blockchain technology. Over time, developers and business minds began creating their own solutions with this decentralized ledger technology. This led to the development of Ethereum and other virtual currencies, with the former in part responsible for a boom in initial coin offerings (ICO) in 2017. As an ICO is essentially a round of public finding and is typically launched by a tech startup which sells inhouse cryptocurrency tokens to prospective investors, these investors buy tokens in the hopes that company will launch its product and the tokens will grow in value. An ICO is not unlike an initial public offering, which is when a traditional company makes its share available for purchase to the general public. In fact, this is where the ICO moniker stems from. Given that there are no promises that an ICO will make good on its future plans, investors take a leap of faith when they part ways with their money. This of course has led to a plethora of scams billed as ICOs, which have seen thousands of investors left out of pocket. Here are five of the biggest ICO scams in history. Pincoin and iFan
The most recent large-scale ICO scam grabbed headlines in April. Two ICOs, run by the same company operating out of Vietnam, are believed to have swindled around 32,000 investors of a combined $660 mln. The company in question, Modern Tech, packed up its offices in Ho Chi Minh city last month, making off with investors money. The scam is believed to be the biggest in ICO history. A number of investors protested outside the vacant offices in the city on April 8, after the company refused to process cash withdrawals. The city’s administration has ordered police to investigate the fraud. Both ICOs have been classified as multi-level marketing scams. iFan was advertised a social media platform for celebrities to promote their content to fans. Meanwhile Pincoin was promising 40 percent monthly returns on investments made. The project claimed to be building an online platform encompassing an ad network, auction and investment portal and peer-to-peer marketplace built on Blockchain technology. OneCoinOneCoin has been the subject of a number of investigations over the past 18 months. Officially labelled as a ‘clear ponzi scheme’ in India in July 2017, it was fined €2.5 mln by Italian authorities two months later. Cointelegraph has previously warned readers to stay clear of the operation, as OneCoin does not even operate a legitimate decentralized cryptocurrency. Furthermore it does not have a public ledger and its Bulgarian offices were raided in January with servers seized by authorities as international investigations and court cases continue against the company. Scandals in countries around the world summed up the fact that OneCoin is indeed a massive scam. In 2016, over $30 mln dollars were seized by Chinese authorities investigating the OneCoin operation in the country. The company claimed to be officially licensed in Vietnam last year as well, but this was later refuted by the country’s government. More than five countries have warned investors of the risks involved for those choosing to invest in the company, including Thailand, Croatia, Bulgaria, Finland and Norway. BitconnectLong accused of being a ponzi scheme, Bitconnect discontinued operations in January in the wake of a cease and desist order from two American financial regulators. Users exchanged Bitcoin for Bitconnect Coin (BCC) on the Bitconnect platform, launched in Jan. 2017, and were promised astronomical returns on their investments. Furthermore the company ran a lending program, where users lent BCC out to other users to make interest depending on how much BCC they’d lent on the platform. There was also a typical, ponzi scheme referral system. Nevertheless, the wider cryptocurrency was hardly sympathetic when the operation shut down its lending scheme and exchange platform. A number of users have since launched a class action lawsuit against Bitconnect to recoup lost funds - amounting to $700,000 for their particular claim. PlexcoinThis particular ICO was nipped in the bud in Dec. 2017 after being labelled a typical return on investment ponzi scheme. Plexcorp was promising investors over 1300 percent return on investment per month before the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered the company to stop operations. Over $15 mln had been raised during the Plexcoin ICO. Luckily all of the funds were frozen by the SEC and founder Dominic Lacroix was jailed. Interestingly, it was the first time the SEC stepped in and charged an ICO through its Cyber Crime Unit. Plexcoin’s offerings was also classed as a security, hence the SEC’s decision to press charges. [/b]Centratech[/b] Having been endorsed by the likes of superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather and DJ Khaled, Centratech was thrust into the spotlight for its supposed Visa and MasterCard debit card service that would allow users to convert cryptocurrencies to fiat. Two of the founders have since been arrested on fraud charges relating to the ICO, which raised around $32 mln, according to Ars Technica. https://cointelegraph.com/news/unpacking-the-5-biggest-cryptocurrency-scams

Barclays Plc, a British multinational investment bank and financial services company headquartered in London, has a fairly long history of putting down Bitcoin. Now, the financial institution looks to be changing its tune as it begins gauging its clients’ interest in a potential cryptocurrency trading desk.
http://bitcoinist.com/barclays-considering-bitcoin-trading-desk/It looks like another institutional investors trying to join the crypto picture as well. Do you think it will bring some positive effect the ecosystem? We all have seen CBoE and CME affecting the market in a negative way, so I supposed that this is not as welcoming as others might think. Your thoughts? |

Kraken CEO: Crypto Exchange Won't Answer New York AG's InquirySan Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken isn't planning to respond to the New York Attorney General's newly unveiled inquiry into the ecosystem. Kraken was one of 13 exchanges that received a letter from New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Tuesday as part of his new inquiry into cryptocurrency exchanges, as previously reported. While most exchanges generally welcomed the inquiry and said they would fill out the attached questionnaire, Kraken took a different tack when reached for comment. "Kraken's BitLicense-prompted exit from New York in 2015 pays another dividend today," CEO Jesse Powell said via email early Wednesday morning. Powell made it clear that Kraken does not intend to answer the questionnaire, saying: "I realized that we made the wise decision to get the hell out of New York three years ago and that we can dodge this bullet."https://www.coindesk.com/kraken-ceo-crypto-exchange-wont-comply-with-new-york-inquiry/

Japanese Airline Confirms Future BTC Payment Option In The WorksPeach Aviation, a low-cost airline in Japan, has confirmed that their plan to allow Bitcoin (BTC) as payment is only delayed, not cancelled. Peach Aviation had initially announced in May 2017 that customers would be able to use Bitcoin as a payment method by the end of the year. However, in December 2017, the plan was postponed until March 2018. The airline had partnered with crypto exchange BITpoint Japan for the new BTC payment system as well as for plans to open Bitcoin ATMs at airports around Japan. Japan has recognized Bitcoin as a legal payment method in the country since April 2017. Japanese broadcasting corporation NHK World had published an article last week, which has since been removed, that cited Peach Aviation officials questioning the dependability of cryptocurrency after Japanese crypto exchange Coincheck was hacked for $534 mln in NEM, and in light of recent volatility in the markets. In response to the rumors that Peach Aviation would not follow through with their BTC payment option after the NHK article, the airline denied such a cancellation on their website, stating: “There have been some reports today on our company retracting its plan to enable airline tickets to be purchased with Bitcoins; however, this is not something that was announced by our company and is not a fact. We are currently considering our start period in aiming to introduce such a service.”Peach Aviation is not the first to accept Bitcoin as payment for flights. In July 2017, AirBaltic added the option to purchase flights with BTC. Singapore Airlines as recently as today, Feb. 5, announced a Blockchain-based frequent flyer app to be released in August 2018. https://cointelegraph.com/news/japanese-airline-confirms-future-btc-payment-option-in-the-works

HODL On: In Defense of Bitcoin's Best StrategyIn 1987's Black Monday stock market crash, Sam Walton, the world's richest man, lost more than half a billion dollars in a few hours. When reached for comment, Walton said, "It's paper anyway. As far as I'm concerned we're focusing totally on the company doing well and taking care of our customers." He didn't care about dollars; he cared about his asset Wal-Mart, and he still owned that. History of the #HODL
Here is the original post by GameKyuubi on a Bitcoin Talk forum (spelling errors and profanity included): I AM HODLING
I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

$7.5K Ahead? Bitcoin Price Charts Hint at Bull MoveThe stagnant bitcoin charts could spring back to life in the next 24 hours, with a bullish move possibly on the cards. The cryptocurrency has been moving in a more or less sideways manner for over a week now and - currently trading at $6,848 on Bitfinex - is largely unchanged on a 24-hour basis. However, the price range continues to narrow on a daily basis (as seen on the chart below) and a breakout appears to be imminent. https://www.coindesk.com/7-5k-bitcoin-price-charts-hint-at-bull-move-ahead/

NY Regulator Argues BitLicense Regulation Boosted BusinessesThe New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) is taking steps to defend its much-contested track record as an early regulator of cryptocurrency. In remarks at this year's Conference of State Bank Supervisors Tuesday, NYDFS superintendent Maria Vullo discussed the agency's efforts to police the cryptocurrency space, touting the state's technology-specific licensing regime, the BitLicense, as an example of how her agency has contributed to the maturation of the industry. Because the agency's role is to protect consumers, cryptocurrencies needed to be regulated, and these regulations, she argued, have benefited the space She told attendees: "The regulatory structure that we created for virtual currency has helped our licensed companies attract greater interest from customers, investors, and potential financial services partners seeking to pursue further innovation, while protecting market integrity by stringent standards applicable to all law-abiding business enterprises."https://www.coindesk.com/ny-regulator-argues-bitlicense-regulation-boosted-businesses/

The Winklevoss Brothers Just Won a Crypto PatentA company owned by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, has been granted a patent for a system that seeks to improve the security of digital transactions. The application was filed in November and granted on Tuesday by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It describes a "system, method, and program product for processing secure transactions within a cloud computing system," with Andrew Laucius, Cem Paya and Eric Winer named as inventors (neither of the Winklevosses is included on the list). This system uses a combination of common cryptographic techniques, including hash functions and digital signatures. Figures included in the application explain that the system is intended to provide security in a cloud-based digital asset exchange. And while it doesn't spell it out directly, the patent's language suggests that the proposed system could be used within Gemini's infrastructure. https://www.coindesk.com/winklevoss-twins-just-won-crypto-related-patent/

Bear Market 'Largely Over,' Crypto Hedge Fund Manager ClaimsTimothy Enneking, managing director of Crypto Asset Managment, LP, said Monday that the winter in cryptocurrency markets is "largely over." Crypto Asset Management, which was founded last year and has roughly $20 million in assets under management, saw its CAMCrypto30 cryptocurrency index fall by 69 percent since its high in January. Enneking sees four reasons for the collapse. Asset consolidation, regulatory concerns, massive liquidation by the Mt. Gox trustee and startups' selling crypto assets to pay salaries and expenses are all factors in the market's overall decline, he wrote. "Consolidation after the amazing 2017 increase" drew back some of the funds invested in cryptocurrencies, he said. Invsestors are also likely wary due to recent regulatory actions. While he did not cite any specific events, the report comes just weeks after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoenaed startups with initial coin offerings. It remains unclear what exactly the SEC is looking for, though an official confirmed "dozens" of investigations were underway. The other two reasons likely had less of an impact, Enneking said. These factors have mostly been priced into the cryptocurrency market, which, despite the recent rout, is still up by over 600 percent in the last 15 months. Enneking also noted that bitcoin's share of the overall cryptocurrency market has fallen from 45.7 percent on Dec. 20 to 44.3 percent. This decline in "BTC dominance" has coincided with a decline in correlation between bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, he wrote. While the note does not comment on what declining correlation means, it could indicate that the quality of individual cryptocurrencies is beginning to have a greater influence on their market prices. The combination of these factors indicate that the market should begin rebounding soon, he indicated in his report. https://www.coindesk.com/bear-market-largely-over-crypto-hedge-fund-manager-claims/

Malta Finance Regulator Warns Against Crypto Margin Trading SiteMalta's government has released a new warning about a cryptocurrency margin trading site. StocksBTC claims on its website to be registered with the agency and to have a physical location in the country. That's not true, according to the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), prompting it to issue a warning Thursday to investors about the service. In addition, the MFSA noted that StocksBTC "appears to be offering investment and/or other financial services to consumers." As part of its warning, the regulator noted that Stocksbtc is not "licensed or otherwise authorised by the MFSA to provide any type of financial services which are required to be licensed or otherwise authorised under Maltese law." The statement continued: "The MFSA strongly advises investors and consumers of financial services that prior to making any investment or entering into any financial services transaction they should ascertain that the entity with whom the investment or transaction is being made is authorised to provide such services by the MFSA or another financial services regulatory authority as applicable."https://www.coindesk.com/malta-finance-regulator-warns-crypto-margin-trading-site/

R3 Researcher: Central Bank Blockchain Could Go Live In 2018A form of central bank digital currency (CBDC) may go live in 2018. At least that's according to Antony Lewis, research director at global banking consortium and distributed ledger software startup R3, who issued the prediction during a panel discussion at the Deconomy event in Seoul, South Korea, on Wednesday. "For wholesale use (of CBDC), I think we are looking at this year. We have had conversations with central banks who have mandates to fix certain payment problems, and one solution they look to is a blockchain type of platform," Lewis said. Yet, Lewis clarified that this does not mean consumers will have a new payment choice that functions like bitcoin or ether do today, per se. In fact, Lewis projected that such a cryptocurrency would be used only by select financial institutions to start. In this way, Lewis argued such a system would likely even only be used in certain specific situations, such as in instances of disaster recovery due to their current limitations. He argued: "Don't make your secondary (decentralized) system look like your primary (centralized) system. Otherwise If a primary system goes down in an attack, then all the attackers need to do is just to play the same trick. Then it's not resilience, it's just another IP address to attack."https://www.coindesk.com/r3-researcher-central-bank-will-issue-cryptocurrency-2018/
