List updated...

I never expect that hacking has been this much already and what is worst is the latest hacking lost a lot of money "6,929 BTC, 23,210 ETH, 3,924,082 ARRR, 414,154 VRSC & 1,066 KMD". It is too much compare to Binance hacking and it was happened last February 2020 where the price of bitcoin break to 10k$.

And upon checking the Altsbit exchange, it is now displaying the current hacking and the process/steps on how the users can get the refund of their money. This why I really don't like storing money in any exchange as the hackers are always there and what is worst they are targeting big exchanges as they can sure that they can get a lot of money from them. I just hope that it is not an inside job or any fishy announcement that comes from the team behind the project.
522  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: So many new cryptocurrency exchange now, Are they safe to trade? on: April 11, 2020, 10:26:14 AM
Been on crypto for 4 years and I know how risky to trade unknown or new trading exchange, A lot of trading exchange was suddenly closed and some got hack by anonymous hacker. I like to hear everyones thoughts about this.


Thank you
Of course new exchange are not safe to use as most of them will end up scamming the funds of users who have deposited to their exchange. It will be best if you are going to use the top exchange and are currently being use by many users like Binance and etc.

Trading to a new exchange is not safe at all but if you are going to take the risk then it is up to you because there are many cases that new exchange turned out to scam at the end even if they started prettty good like BCNEX and etc. So it will be best if you will be wise in choosing what exchange you are going to use if you like to trade.
523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What matters to grow the price of an Altcoin on: April 11, 2020, 10:00:28 AM
We all know cryptocurrency. We Buying and selling different types of altcoins in different exchanges. Many of altcoins have the same features, total supply, blockchain, even number of decimals, But in their prices, there is a huge difference. So, there is one question that appears at this point that "What matters to grow the price of an Altcoin ?". Is it makes a high price by listing on many different exchanges or the team works behind that altcoin/project? Or something else. This is a big question which all of us want to know.
To be short, demand is the main reason for the altcoin price to grow so this is what really matter but before you can gather huge amount of demand you still need a user-case to your project. Aside from that, you also need to get first the trust of the investors in order to make sure that you can increase the demand of you altcoin.

The more the demand the higher the price of altcoin and also the lesser the supply the higher the price. Listing to different exchanges will not help to grow the price of altcoin if they cannot raise it's demand, listing in one exchange that is a trusted exchange is enough but having a more option is good also but it is not the most important.
524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the new method of "Initial offering" this year? on: April 11, 2020, 08:49:53 AM
I am sure that this year the crypto market will not only recover, but will also be able to present us with an opportunity to earn. In 2017 and 2018, ICO were very popular - this is when new projects themselves raised funds, and then were placed on exchanges and brought (or did not bring) profit to their investors. In 2019, IEO became popular - this is when new projects entered into agreements with exchanges that raised funds and subsequently opened trading pairs with the coins of these projects.
All the people who started investing at the time of the popularity of ICO and IEO were able to earn good money.
What do you think will be the new "Initial offering" method this year?
It seems to me that this year nothing new will be invented and towards the end of the summer new IEO's will gain popularity.
If bull season will occur this year then ICO's,STO's and IEO's are still available option for project owner because in bull season it is not that hard to gather some funding as the investors are very active. What you need to make sure is you can present a better project that has a better user-case that will likely to dominate the market in the long run.

But as you can see IEO's are very familiar as of this moment because of the market situation that we are still almost at the bottom, let's just hope that the market will shift as soon as possible so we can see a lively market again where project owners can easily reach their goal.
525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Recent Corona Virus Scams on: April 11, 2020, 03:19:41 AM
I read on the cointelegraph today about how scammers are using the recent pandemic to scam people using phishing, malicious malware attack and other scam tactics to scam people. I think this is well informative and worth peoples attention. That is why I brought it here on this forum. There are major things that I read:

1. Scammers are using fake donation platforms to trick victims to pay bitcoin.
2. Use of phishing attack tricks claming to sell products for residents of specific affected areas. They claim to sell hand sanitizers and face mask and demands high price but will not deliver the items.
3. Using phishing attack to steal private data or to install malware or ransomware into crypto wallet devices.
4. Also, hospitals are not left out, victims of cyberattack in hospital are willing to pay to regain access to hospital compromised equipments by cyber attackers.
5. A new ransomeware called CoronaVirus was discovered on malicious websites. A given amount of bitcoin will be demanded by the scammers in order to unlock back their devices.
6. Lastly, the use of corona virus map that infect users with malware and also using it to get access to passwords and other sensitive information stored on the website browsers.

This is the link to the news on cointelegraph is very helpful and I will like you to read the news in full details.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/beware-scammers-are-out-for-crypto-amid-the-coronavirus-pandemic

Let us all inform our people of this cyber attacks from the scammers, do not think only wallet owners can be affected,  some cyberattacks can also steal our banking or other sensitive information if you read the number 7above.  We should be safe and also handle our wallets and cryptocurrencies  as if scammers are always at work.

I have written some articles here on this forum about how to protect ourselves from scammers and about how to secure our crypto wallets. The two articles are well informative. Only the donation scamer tactic was not included as all these scam tactics above are what we wallet owners know about and avoiding daily. You will see the two articles helping using this link:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232577.msg54021683#msg54021683

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235930.msg54107672#msg54107672

And lastly, let us tell our family, friends about this scams because not we only wallet owners can be affected. Stay safe.


Scammers are using any type of tactics just to get a free money even if they are going to use the pandemic scenario. These type of people are the worst therefore we should be very careful in every donation or transaction that we like to sent, make sure that it can reach to the right organization or company that will surely use the fund correctly.

Many are suffering from this pandemic therefore a single dollar that will be donated by those who have heart are very helpful to those people who are truly in need.
526  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Starting point projects. Are they worth the hype? on: April 11, 2020, 02:47:41 AM
Hey, what do you think about the projects that serve as the starting point for new people in crypto? Given the projections and everything "fingers crossed" we will soon experience a new bull run like we did 2017. At that time there were numerous people just blindly throwing money into crypto because it was booming.
 
So are the tokens of projects (lets, for example, say Newscrypto.io that has a school program, predefined charts and simple market indicators) worth a look into?
All this project have a good utility for beginners, but will people use them or just FOMO throw money into btc? What are your predictions on this, would you start on Newscrypto or just straight to the exchange/broker/whatever.
It is not that easy to trust and use the newly created project especially if we want to secure our hard earned money as newly project can easily turned out to scam if they want to. There are many source of information that we can search to if we want but the problem is whether it can be trusted or not, but if newscrypto can prove it's data 100% genuine then it is worth a try.

The main problem of starting projects are trust to it's users but if they can manage to build it then time will come that they will become a good competitor to the existing platform that offers almost the same services.
527  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could Ripple’s XRP could reach $1 in 2020 ? on: April 10, 2020, 11:54:40 PM
It has been a wild ride for ripple so far this year, with the price dipping to $0.26 and then quickly regaining to $0.29. This comeback has analystshitting Twitter to predict that  XRP may see the $1.00 mark by the end of 2020 and here is why: https://crypto-current.co/ripples-xrp-could-reach-1-2020/

Do you think XRP has the potential to hit $1.00 by the end of 2020?

We still have 8 months remaining for 2020 to end and this amount of time is pretty long which means the chances for XRP to reach 1$ is pretty high if the market will favor it. Right now XRP is currently sitting at $0.187 but once the market will hit the bull season in the middle of this year then hitting 1$ is very easy for XRP.

And as you can see, it was able to replace Eth once so it's capacity is very high but all will depend to the market situation as most of the currencies are very dependent to bitcoin price.
528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not blame it on Corona outbreak on: April 10, 2020, 01:03:42 PM
Alot of blogs and articles are referencing the facts that the present dip in prices is related to corona virus outbreak. But I do not believe so
I believe It's not just the virus, all these things were going to happen,
the virus just lit the match and acted as a catalyst
I oppose to your statement because the crash is very deep and it is almost the same to what happened last year 2019 and it happened in just a short period of time. This scenario must be related to the crisis that we are facing right now as many countries are imposing lock down to their area in order to lessen the infected persons and I also saw some post that they were forced to sell their assets in order to survive from the lock down to their area.

And we are talking about a pandemic in which it affected all the countries so the relation is there base on what I have notice as from the start I didn't think also that the pandemic will affect the crypto world this much but right now I can say that the big crash of the market is because of corona outbreak.
529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from centralized wallets on: April 10, 2020, 12:33:23 PM
Do you even know the difference between Centralized wallets and Dec wallets? Days back I lost my coinbase account and the team aren't helping, I'm glad I only have little Bitcoin on the account, would have been a different story if I use coinomi or atomic wallet because they give users 💯 control over their funds, private keys and recovery seed are important, always remember that

Example of Centralized wallets
1. Coinbase
2. Nexo
3. Luno
4. Xapo
5. Freewallet

Any wallets that ask you create an account with mail and password is centralized, they monitor your private keys for you, be smart
That is the problem with centralized exchange as we will not know whether our money is still safe if we are going to store it for months or years as we will not know the action behind the team of the exchange because they can just easily close your account if they like to and your money will be lost. But as of this moment, I am using a centralized exchange but I am not that worried because it is a local exchange where we can easily reach the customer service if we have problem with our wallets.

But if you have huge amount of money it will be best if you will just put it in a safe way and centralized exchange is not one of them. 
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown on: April 10, 2020, 11:30:20 AM
Casinos and other non-essential businesses were temporarily closed due to the virus spreading the word. We often think about gambling businesses having no income, and the decrease of the stock market. But we're forgetting about their employees who get no job and salary in the current situation.

Casino workers in Las Vegas showed their disappointment and anger towards their employers who failed to help and provide them what they need. Famous Las Vegas Strip of glitzy hotels and casino is closed due to lockdown, and thousands of their employees were left with no work and income. However, some casinos were able to support their workers and offered them a two-week salary, others gave four, while some gave nothing.

Quote
"This is not going to sustain us — we need to feed our families, we need to put food on the table, we have bills mounting up,” said Debra Jeffries, a cocktail waitress for four decades at a major Strip casino.

Las Vegas has more than 40 million visitors every year and it is known for casinos. According to the American Gaming Association, if all casinos in the US will continue to be closed until mid-May, including nearby restaurants and bars, $43.5 billion in economic activity will lose.


The treasurer-secretary of the giant Las Vegas-based Culinary Union, Geoconda Arguello-Kline called giant operating casinos to do their responsibility in the community.

Quote
“We feel the casino industry right now, they left their workers alone… it’s a very painful situation,” said Arguello-Kline.

Although it's awful that some successful casino owners and management forget to protect and help their employees who helped them to become successful, some casino owners were able to send help and give their employees the salary they need. Perhaps they don't care about their employees' financial struggle because they have a lot of money, and they can survive the whole lockdown with that money.

It's their responsibility to give them a salary even if the business is closed. They should be prepared in times like this, and for sure they have an emergency fund to provide their employees. It's only a simple sacrifice for the employees who have been working for them every day.

This only concludes how important to have a savings so we can prepare to this kind of scenario and for the workers, I cannot blame them if they are asking their employers for a salary because they need money right now in order to buy food and etc. just to survive in this type of situation.

In our country, the government are asking for employers to pay their employee a one month salary during the lock down and this is to help the employee in surviving the lock down. If the government in Las Vegas will do the same then it can surely help the employee to get their salary but if not the employee will have to wait for their employers whether they are kind enough to give some money to their affected employee.
531  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't trade what you can't risk loosing on: April 10, 2020, 07:33:55 AM
You are responsible for your own trade, someone introduced us to Bitcoin trading. He/she will not be responsible for the mistake you have made. While trading a huge sum of money, to earn 1000× of your funds, in two weeks. Found a tweet, “About a dude telling a cryptocurrency Twitter influencer, how he got influenced wrongly. He traded 10BTC and lost all". This could be clout, but serves as a good information. So many cryptocurrency Newbies invest in the first assets that feel okay, without doing their own research.

Pay attention; If you have plenty BTC like the dude above. It's certainly well, you know how to trade, close to what the dude thought. For this reason, holding is the best option. No way 10BTC will be lost (when Holding), allow yourself to “waste" time exploring. Although he learnt his lessons. Such mistakes should not be welcomed.

We have to keep in mind what we can do to improve not only our own lot but that of those around us. Share your Opinion.
I totally agree with you as many newbies are blaming someone because they lost their hard earned money in trading or investing without thinking that they are the one who lost it. Knowing someone who became millionaire in trading in just a short period of time didn't mean that we can do it also as we don't know what that person has gone through in order to obtain that success. But all of his achievement is not impossible for us to obtain if we strictly follow the fundamentals of trading and we will become wise especially in decision making.

Therefore if you want to trade or invest, use only the money that will not hurt you if you are going to lost it and make sure that you will not jump to trading without learning the basics first.
532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I realise Coronavirus is not a reason why on: April 10, 2020, 05:56:12 AM
Bitcoin is Down

As you can remember when the virus spread at the beginning BTC price sharply reaching $9,439 on January 28, 2019, and the markets follow the BTC as always many crypto markets rose up, that means coronavirus favor CryptoMarkets first,

But what makes Bitcoin price go down
As the spread continue people start to panic with the disease not Btc, thinking of many Negatives and some people exchange their Crypto to friendly fiat money so they can cover some emergency staff buys extra food, drinks, masks, etc, the simple view is that many sell result to cheapest sell which automatic kill the prices of an Assets.

Yeah it happened really fast because at the time of the crash there are many countries who impose a total lockdown in their area and this might be the reason why the market crashes pretty bad. Preparing for the total lockdown is kind difficult if you have no enough savings that is why other investors were forced to sell their assets in order to prepare for the lockdown.

Foods and medical equipments are what we need to this pandemic in order to stay out from the virus and also a good knowledge on how to stay away from it. But right now the market is slowly recovering and let's just hope that this pandemic will be finish so we can see a better future of crypto by this year 2020.
533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH hits $160, after a +11% gainer in the last 24 hours on: April 10, 2020, 05:26:04 AM
Ethereum is on a roll today with a +11% gainer in the last 24 hours hitting $160.

This is the strongest run ever since the massive correction we saw last few weeks as global pandemic and oil price war pushes down all crypto prices.



Is this sustainable or a trap?


It was able to sustain as it is currently sitting at 162$ as of this moment but we are not yet 100% sure that the increase will continue to push forward as the market is very vulnerable. Though looking in the graph, it is currently pointing upward so let's assume that this increase will continue until the halving of bitcoin will occur.

Trap is always a possibility in the market also so we should also consider any possibilities as we don't have a control over the market unlike the big investors in which they can easily move the market as they like.
534  Economy / Speculation / Re: Comeback for the bitcoin on: April 10, 2020, 03:26:15 AM
While in the previous weeks and the month of the March the market price of the bitcoin form 8k dollars it immediately falls down into 3.8k dollars and many investors grab the opportunity on this to make more profit in the future because now it is recovering from the market and now many investors and analysis look forward to the price of the bitcoin because in just a single week it has a huge change and it is become stable on the price of 6.7k to 6.8k because of the previous investment there is 23.8 billion dollar increase to the price of the crypto. From the previous week, the price of the bitcoin comes into 7k dollars and that was good news to us, and today there are a lot of people buying a lot of bitcoin instead of selling because we all know it will go up for the upcoming halving but still we cannot make sure the market price movement will continuously increase. As this kind of changes would you rather still invest or buy a lot of bitcoin or sell?.

Quote
The current situation is already a comeback from the deep crash that happened so suddenly and now we are slowly pushing the market to climb again the better price that we have last February if possible. If the increase will continue like we can hit 8k and 9k usd in less than 2 weeks then we still have a chance that the incoming halving will be prosperous to those who hold their investment.

Right now still a good opportunity to buy more as the market will surely to bounce back after the hard crash. Let's just hope that in the following days, it will give us a good sign of comeback and there will be no big crashes again.
535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Possible Effects of Coronavirus on the Crypto Industry on: April 10, 2020, 01:41:25 AM

The Coronavirus Pandemic is global. It’s everywhere and the impacts are being seen in every industry, worldwide. All the trading markets, including the stocks and mutual funds, are seeing a tremendous drop because people, as well as businesses, are greatly affected by the ongoing pandemic.

The crypto industry is also not untouched by the effects of the coronavirus. In the past week or so, we have seen many popular cryptos like bitcoin and ETH drop in value.

So, what does this mean for the crypto industry at large and how will it impact the future of cryptocurrencies, projects, companies, and investors. Let’s try to find out through our analysis of the cryptocurrency market during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Coronavirus Impact on Cryptocurrencies


Crash in Stock Markets

One of the major impacts of the ongoing Corona outbreak is being seen on the stock market, where the price of almost all the equity shares/holdings has dropped drastically in the past weeks. The debt funds are also not doing so well. The same behavior is being observed across the stock markets of all the countries. This is likely to have an impact on the finance industry as a whole.

A temporary drop in Crypto Prices


In recent days, we have seen a big drop in the price of cryptocurrencies across almost all the exchanges. The reason is simple, people and businesses are too busy dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that they have no time to focus on cryptocurrencies, which has caused a drop in the demand and therefore price. But, this is not anything unusual and something we haven’t seen before. We know that the prices of cryptocurrencies will be back as soon as the market is back on its feet.

The Corona pandemic has affected the economies of both developed and under-developed countries alike, all of which are now struggling to keep going. Therefore, it’s only natural to see a drop in the interest in investments. But, as we know, the market will be back soon, and so will cryptocurrencies.

Good News for Cryptocurrencies


Amidst the ongoing global pandemic situation, there has been some goods news for crypto enthusiasts and investors. Since the stock market is dropping, more investors are now attracted to crypto investments. Since cryptocurrencies are digital, they are not severely impacted by this outbreak.

Now that people are at home and have enough time on their hands, they are spending time learning about cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and other related things, both as a way to improve their knowledge and become a better crypto investor. So, the interest in cryptocurrencies has certainly boosted due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Another good news is that since the price of many major cryptocurrencies has dropped recently, this is the best time to invest in cryptocurrencies and projects. For instance, you can now buy the Titan coin at a lower price than ever before. And we know the coin will be back with a bang, so you can be assured of huge profits.

Crypto Legalisation


Among other things, the movement to regulate cryptocurrencies is now stronger than ever. With India and Korea taking important measures to not only legalize but encourage crypto trading, it is only a matter of time when we see more countries joining the crypto innovation.
The effect was already obvious as the crypto market was also affected to the pandemic not only the stock market. And as what I have notice you are only launching this thread to promote the Titan coin, I am not against the promotion but you should also put more details to your statement so others will not be blind to what is happening right now.

The good news for crypto investors are the steady increase of crypto price even if the pandemic is still there. The crash of the crypto market is pretty deep and I never imagined that it will happened in just a short period of time but the hope is still there as we are starting to bounce back a little. Stock market investors will not shift to crypto that easily as they are also waiting for their chances to buy back their stocks because the stock market will surely bounce back pretty big once the pandemic will be solve therefore I cannot see lot's of stock investors to shift into crypto investment right now.
536  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If Coronavirus never happened on: April 10, 2020, 01:05:11 AM
What will be happening right now if Coronavirus never took place to drag down cryto market due to economic affection? Still down thread or bullrun will still be kicking
We are very near to the halving so if the Coronavirus never happened, I am pretty sure that the market right now is very alive and the bull season is already kicking. As you can see even if we are facing a pandemic but after the big crash the market still slowly pushing the crypto price forward.

After we break the 10k barrier last February, I thought that we can see the bull season again but we have no control over the market situation so let's just hope that the big investors will do something to make the market more lively again.
537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Market stability is not ascertain.We might fall again on: April 10, 2020, 12:38:24 AM
As a result of the current world crisis regarding the pandemic virus spread that have ravaged the world and still not stopping. this has affected global markets including stocks, fortunes, commodities, oil prices. everything is crashing. a lot of accounts has been liquidated on trading platform. within two weeks. billions has dissappeared due to current virus crisis.

As long as this persist, we are not sure how long the market will survive. there is little hope. everyone needs to be careful. when to move funds. Most countries are already in deflection. the situation is making matters worst. it looks like the end of the world.
Honestly, 2020 was not what we all expected. 
We are facing a pandemic so it is only normal that we will be facing a difficulty in the market but it is not yet the end of the world because every country is doing their best to stop the pandemic and find the vaccine for it. Ups and downs are part of how the market flow but what we have experienced is a big decrease because of the pandemic and other reasons.

Let's just hope that we can overcome all the problems that we are facing right now so we can still consider the 2020 as a good year for the market to recover because many are hoping for 2020 to become the season of the bull.

As we all know , Coronavirus has impacted each and every industry in the whole world and sports isn't an exception .

If you take a look at this  , https://www.nytimes.com/article/sports-canceled-coronavirus.html or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232295.0 you will get to know how many tournaments across different sports have been affected .

But the question is , is this the right time for gambling addicts to come out of addiction? The assumption I am making here is  that the gambling addicts are addicts on sports betting and not casino game addiction or poker .

Why this question is because although I wanna bet on sports ( which I have been doing every week since 8 years ) now I cannot .
Yeah your right especially to those gamblers who gamble to sports because most of the sports are close right now due to the pandemic like basketball,soccer,hockey and etc. But most of the gamblers who gamble to other types gambling can still gamble via online as online casinos are very popular right now.

But I am sure that there are many gamblers right now that are unable to gamble so I am hoping that it will slowly cure their addiction and come out of addiction someday.

I don't know if it's only my perception but I constantly notice people who expect continuous growth. Whether it is bitcoin, crypto,
stock, they only see one side of things and never the opposite.

Yes, things go up but they can go down, and going down does not mean the stock/crypto is dying. It means it is alive!
So please stop all these recession & bitcoin going down topics and be wise


You are right but most of the people are looking for the positive side instead of negative side in order to maintain their trust in their assets especially to newbie investors who are not yet familiar on how the market works. But for the professional investors, they already know it but they were able to gasp to the situation and use it to their advantage.

I like your statement that "If there are no ups and downs in our life. It means we are dead ", yes you are right we can use this statement to compare to stocks and crypto assets but in crypto world it is not that solid yet in terms of it's foundation as it is still new compare to stocks therefore we need to market it in it's positive way and not the negative one so we can gather more investors that will push the market price upward steadily.

After losing a whopping $100 billion in the space of a week, things were looking pretty bearish for Bitcoin, but in the last couple of weeks, things seem to be turning around. With bitcoin hitting higher highs and higher lows, it appears to be firing up a bullish sentiment!

Here is what is going on: https://bitcoinchaser.com/bitcoins-explosive-surge-bullish-sentiment/

Do you think this bullish sentiment has legs?

Yeah the prices are steadily increasing for almost all the currencies especially the bitcoin and if you are going to check the graph of bitcoin for the last seven days, the curve is getting higher which is good. The crash in just a week is pretty quick and I didn't expect it to go that deep as I am expecting for bitcoin to resist in 8k-9k$ if the market will crash but I was mistaken.

But as of this moment, we are experiencing a little bullish because the bitcoin price was able to steadily increase and we are currently sitting now at 7.2k$ with +0.43 increase within 24h change which is still good compare to having a negative result.
