Thanks for this information. I would have been a victim if I did not come across this post. I also notice that a very good number of my exchange accounts have been compromised and really do not know what is happening these days.

There are two things that I normally do with my coins. First is that any coins that are already listed in exchange , I will exchange and convert to my local fiat and safe for better tomorrow. secondly the ones that are yet to be listed, those are the ones that I will hold and wait for it  to be listed and sell for my real profit.                                                                                                 z                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

It is better than the present uploading of documents because despite the promise of the project team that they will never harm you with your documents but who knows what they will do at last. So if video calls can be used for KYC/AML it will go along way to restore integrity on both parties. I know a lot of my friends who decline to do any bounty that required KYC and also many who have been denied their reward because they did not do KYC.

Your observation is right but that will never be accepted as the final position because the crypto market is never stable. Yes for some few weeks now XRP has overtaken ethereum but I believe it is for a brief period because the hard fork of ether that will be coming on at about early part of 2019 and this will highly impact on ether price and movement. I forsee ether overcoming the challenges XRP and regain her position.                                                                                                                                       

This is a good omen to the cryptocurrency exchange and management. The more exchange we have more competition among them to satisfy the customer and attract many of them to their platform. This competition will lead to less transaction fee, faster scalability and good and faster response to issues from the support team.

This is great news as blockchain to be adopted by a renowned corporate body like Alibaba. Blockchain technology is one the best invention of the twenty-first century. Initially, people thought that blockchain will only to be used for cryptocurrency but events of a few years ago have shown that blockchain can be deployed to so many aspects of human ventures which include hospital/medical management, Election management, logistics management and other things.

Nothing last forever so it is possible that bitcoin will one day be replaced by something more suprior but for now bitcoin is still the best with the attached blockchain technology. Bitcoin has been around for ten years now and it is still waxing strong leading other altcoin both in price and volume.

Bitcoin is money but not physical money so you cannot see it. It is digital money that nobody or government controls, for this reason, it is decentralized. and bitcoin is sent from one person to another person(P2P) without any third party who like any other payment system will mediate between these two persons for a fee but it is not so with bitcoin. The  P2P transaction will go through from one person to the other person and no service charge to any third party as there is none. Bitcoin runs on an electronic ledger called blockchain where the data is stored and can be confirmed any day.

Exactly ICO means a waste of money and time now. But the project owners are the problem why the ico are not paying investors well. Very soon it will be difficult to get investors for icos. Only the developers that can help to change the situation so the token price will be saved from dumping by the bounty hunters.

Stop loss is a money management tool in trading. It is used to stop a running trade that has turned against the trader. If you do not use it definitely your trading capital will vanish with only one trade that has run against you. But when stop loss is used you will live to trade another day.

Blockchain is making an impact in almost every aspect of human life. In last Russian general election blockchain was employed and the election was adjudged one of the best so far organized by that country. Blockchain is also making a very great impact on hospital management where the patient file management and drug dispensing it was employed.

The market situation is terribly bad and so much fund has been lost due to the price level in the market. But we are always told that you do not lose money in cryptocurrency till you sold off your coins. It is believed that the price will reverse any moment and the expected profit will emerge. So Hodl your position and sell only when you are in profit or at least broken even.

Bitcoin has a limited quantity which is 21 million and out of this quantity, only 16 million is in circulation. If Bitcoin is forked a new coin will be created with its own total quantity and amount in circulation also, an example is last year when bitcoin was forked and BTG was created. BTG is a coin of its own standing and not bitcoin  (BTC). It did not add to the original quantity of bitcoin in existence rather it is a different coin.

This is true because I am a beneficiary. I was jobless and was introduced to bitcointalk.org forum and was able to find my way around the various activities here to earn some coins. There is a lot of change in my economic wellbeing and has been in a position to help other people financially.

Bitcoin was a concept for ordinary people to have access to funding anytime they have a need. The P2P transaction actually makes some money available for both parties which would have been used for the settlement of the third party. So saving what would have been used to pay the third party will be some kind of empowerment.                       

The current price of cryptocurrency has been in a bearish mode for almost part of this year. This year also is like the worst in the past 3 years ago. But one thing is outstanding despite the market situation which is that bitcoin has remained above the $6k price level and has been bouncing off this price level and has never broken down the price. I believe the price will soon reverse and move up till the bulls will take over completely.

You can open an account with Luno .com  to receive your bitcoin and exchange same there to fiat of your choice. So the price of bitcoin, for now, is good to buy and hold. The support  at $6k level which has not been broken for sometimes is a pointer that the reversal is near so the price will soon reverse to start trending to profits.

Bitcoin can be used for longterm investment for those countries that have legalized its usage. Bitcoin is fast and easy to transact with. Bitcoin runs on blockchain which makes it easier to trace and accountability possible and then fraud put to check. If bitcoin adoption continues at the rate it is going then in the near future most of the remaining countries will also legalize bitcoin.

I think the major announcement everyone is waiting for is the SEC-ETF pronouncement. This very announcement is like the key that is holding the life and death of bitcoin. Unfortunately, Sec has been postponing this announcement for the 3rd consecutive time and people are getting apprehensive and could no longer wait for the announcement.
