I want you to think outside the box. Maybe they're able to maintain their status afloat even if it's known that the majority is suffering from the global crisis. But it's possible that even with the side motion of their economy, they're able to control what's going to come in and out with the media since their government is controlled by the CCP. So, data and numbers can be modified and they're only allowed to project what's good inside and outside the country.

For example: THE FALL OF EVERGRANDE: A CASE STUDY OF CHINA’S FINANCIAL TURMOIL IN 2022 AND THE IMPLICATION TO CHINA-BOUND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL IN 2023 AND BEYOND

That incident surely have a big impact to their economy and probably they're tailoring it as if nothing is negatively happening to them and they're in control. But it can't also be denied that during the covid-19 pandemic height, they're able to spread their investments since majority of the stocks from that time were low. Well, go back to the first sentence of what I've said.

Bitcoin surely is incomparable from all of those examples that you've mentioned. As for Binance, I can't vividly remember if they have advertised before as a new project that they're like a decentralized project that shall disrupt the current technologies and market for exchanges. But that's like the pattern that most of the projects does. They're going to use the descriptions that typically used by most projects telling people how decentralized they are but in nature, they're not. If people are all for the decentralization, Bitcoin is the number 1 candidate of it. However, with today's movement in the market, it's no longer about the tech, about the privacy but more with profitability for which they're taking a leap of faith with the alts and projects of their choice.

Yes, the majority of the good exchanges are now requiring KYC. Binance used to be one non kyc exchange and the same goes for Kucoin. And based from the list of ratimov's no-kyc exchange encyclopedia, there's still substantial number of these no-kyc exchange but just like the first one's that have started to ask kyc to their customers. It's going to be a matter of time until many on that list will ask and enforce it. Also, I only recognize a few of the exchanges from that list that I think I'll trade. Just surprised to see that poloniex remains firm of being a no-kyc which gave me some nostalgic moments when I was still new to the market.

Right, we have witnessed the change of PoW of Ethereum into PoS but even before that, ETH was actually semi-centralized as what they've said.

The majority of them are centralized honestly. There were even a few of them that have claimed that they were decentralized but also changed into centralized eventually.

Yup, when you're for the decentralized projects then you have to DYOR before investing on any of them. As I've said, many are just using the term as a buzz word to attract investors.

DeFi's? I think that despite being called as decentralized finance, those users that have their wallets connected and have their cryptos deposited into a DeFi service still losses custody of their coins as they deposit and connect their wallets to those respective DeFi services. Why? Because of the series and events of DeFi hacks have made people lost their funds. Like these events: https://chainsec.io/defi-hacks/

Honestly, the term decentralized is being used and abused by many project developers. They tend to mention that they're a decentralized project but lies behind that, they're not. Bitcoin is decentralized and that's what the meaning of it. And don't buy onto those projects that have been labelling themselves as a decentralized project. Another thing, DeFis are no longer a thing today.

I was about to suggest this after reading the OP because you've mentioned that they're regulated and acknowledged by the regulators there. But keep your hopes high if you have already submitted a report and complain to them. Yes, that amount won't be that much for them process but the complainant's report will be a good basis not to renew or at least put some hammer on that company's reputation by the government itself. It's just that sad that for this amount they're going to let things slide which won't benefit them at all but are fine to lose one client. Have you tried going into other local gambling communities and just share this story so that other potential customers of theirs will flee from them and won't waste their time depositing there?

Very timely, I've just made a thread[1] about the recent news of another company that has filed for Chapter 11 and they've lost(as said) the money of their customers.
[1] Prime Trust's bankruptcy due to forgotten seed/private key

The best antivirus is yourself. That's true about clicking links so that the best starts from yourself knowing what you're clicking, what websites you are downloading and what applications and software you download. Because if you're familiar with your browsing activity, there's no amount of anti virus can par with that. On the other hand, even if you've got the best antivirus and you have the latest update but if your browsing activity isn't as safe as what individuals do, that's a useless thing to have so discipline. still.

I think that these corporations have got the idea of what they're doing from the first ones that have probably done the same thing. And they're not just a few but several companies that hides their main purpose and tries to stir things up through making it like they're a dumb company that have lost the password for their corporate wallet.

Well, it's not going to change for a long time not until everyone has been a victim of these services and lost the funds that they've worked hard for. The trust that one's commit is because they're registered and covered by government laws. But these people don't know that when situation like this escalates, there's no way the government can help them get those refunds if all has been wiped. Everyone will learn the lesson the harsh way even if we don't want to.

That's sad. It's really possible that they can get away, give some excuse that they have really forgotten the wallet to make people gullible that they really do. For sure that there's gonna be orgs or individuals that will monitor the wallet that have been said that they've lost. So, no surprises if it gets accessed by anyone and soon may be told as "hacked" wallet and funds to reason again.

As much as we don't want investors to experience something like this, it's like this event is inevitable as there will be more newbies that will come to the market prior to the bull run halving. And the sad thing is that they're going to trust more of these custodial services than to listen to the people that tells them to hold their own crypto.

That's probably right that funds could have been gone and gambled, and this is possible due to what happened to FTX fiasco and Bankman's spending. As for the shit coin: Prime Trust Lost $8M in Doomed Terra Stablecoin Investment, CEO Says and there could be more.

We're all feeling bad and sympathy is always with the victims and not with these greedy corporations that have been using their customer's money as their ladder for their own personal gains and sakes. I am pretty sure that there could be people interested on this case and won't be dumb to believe their potential fake story.

Maybe on Service Discussion?

I guess it's gonna be long until we will finally hear the real story behind this but, it would be amazing and good to hear someone inside that can't take what's happening and will speak the truth behind this.

Yeah, sooner or later the truth will come as this is still a developing story and news but one thing is for sure that they've filed for bankruptcy. I remember that story also about killed CEO that he's the only one who knows the keys. I think that we're seeing the same story and style but if the story about that and life was taken for real, rip to him.

So, this news was a few weeks ago and I haven't seen someone posted it yet. Just a quick background of what Prime Trust is, it's a fintech company that manages assets of its customers, yeah a custodial service. See the reference:


Going on, they've filed for Chapter 11 (bankruptcy) and if we're going to search for some reasons behind that. Mostly, it's all about the mismanagement, liquidity issue and misuse of its customers funds, etc. which is written all over several articles:

• Crypto Custodian Prime Trust Files for Bankruptcy
• Crypto custodian Prime Trust files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
• Crypto Custodian Prime Trust Files for Bankruptcy Protection

and many more...

Now the part that I've like to share is their negligence of one of the main reason why they fell is because its owners have lost the control to their keys. Yes, you've heard that right, they've lost the seed phrase of their wallet.

• Crypto Startup Bankrupt After Losing Password To $38.9 Million Physical Crypto Wallet

They've got tons of customers and money on their custody and they just lost it. Maybe a planned exit? or just truly negligence of its owners.

This is the reason why we shouldn't keep funds into these centralized/custodial services and exchanges.

Thanks, it was my fault. Dumb me. They have also sent me an email about other instructions. Apologies.

Being good trader partners and mutual talks are going to benefit countries that are in good terms. And for this deal that's made by India, it was really a good deal that they're able to make for buying a million barrel with their Indian Rupees.

That's another thing that they can do with the Rupees used to pay them and since this trade has been made, it's also possible that they might just keep the money and wait a little bit until they able to do something with it. And that means going back to economy again of India if that's what they're going to do, buying assets in India.

It's an easy deal for India if they're able to pay with their own currency and doesn't need to get converted into USD or any currency that's being preferred by their trade partners.

I was about to believe your story that you've got everything from Bitcoin but, let's say that you really did and you have got all of those possessions from Bitcoin when you've sold and this story is real. How you're able to put it all together from owning 1 bitcoin and the peak there was $20k. So, that includes a house and a car and you probably have fully paid everything with it? Also, Agb had quoted some interesting contradiction that you have said, from there it's not believable anymore to the one that you tackles with. I think that we're seeing success stories like this that have been posted here and there. Anyway, if you ever got a family, take care of them and that's the most priceless and best consolation that you can ever have whether you're invested on bitcoin or not.

Hi, @OP.
I've sent a message about my concern about withdrawal. I've also provided the details of my account. Thanks for your help and will wait for it, have a great day ahead.

My bad, 0x.bet has emailed me with set of instructions. I think the others have also need to do the same and check their email.

Everyone could also check what @earnonvictor suggested.

I did a withdrawal request an hour ago and I've received an email that it was successful but funds hasn't arrived yet.
I already sent the rep a message about my concern.

This is painful, I know and understand the effort that you've exerted into working with that much affiliates on their platform. But sad to say if they so, there's nothing you and us can do with that but only them. If I were them, I'll give some recognition to you for having that much based on the work that you've put into making that lot of affiliates. I think that this is the first time to see someone who's in affiliate marketing that has got this number of affiliates but @OP, sorry about that but it is what it is and they're the own boss of their own program and company. Maybe the only thing that you can do is to keep on sharing this story of yours in different affiliate communities to make the situation of yours known and get the attention of everyone.

We need to stop overthinking about others wallet and instead, we need to focus on our own. Every time the market drops or gets up, we do see these people looking at those huge transfers for them. This isn't that much and it can be an individual that just recently made a move to sell/dump those as it's visible that there's going to be a sudden pump. Even in the normal days, there will be transfers like this and it has nothing to do with the market. Thanks to those pages that have been monitoring these moves because this now have became a signal to those people that are only looking for transfers if something has been done to the market. It can be a good factor to know the market sentiment but it's not always like what people thinking because it only gives you anxiety when you're in a FOMO.

There's still little demand on it but if that demand fades then it's just good as how the ICOs were gone. We have the idea on how these hypes are becoming gone due to the fact that the market always need something new to make the investors keep on being active. While DeFi sounds as WiFi, I don't see any connection or relevance on it but only everyone is required to be connected to the internet for us to access them.

You have the idea on what it is and that's the first thing that you've said.

OP registered on the same day when he has posted two threads and didn't come back. That speaks well for what you're up to OP and that means that you're with dollarpesa and you're not legitimately asking if they're approved or whatnot. But you seem to have a successful attempt to make people curious and look on the topic that you've made but not to the actual link or channel that you've mentioned over your thread. Maybe a few or some of us did but not most of us.

Well, that's true that many of these crypto jobs posting websites are either like that based on your observation. Aside from those suggestions, you can post your service on the Services. Include all of your past works and projects that you've worked with as a full stack developer. Another idea is to visit every crypto company's career page like Binance career to see the openings that they have to see if the desired position you wanna fill is open and they have a slot for you. That's what you need to do if you find those crypto job marketplaces aren't too active at all. You have to go through each of them check all the openings that they have, so that's just the idea that you can start looking at crypto exchanges and so on.

These scammers that have been using like videos of Elon Musk that talks in a convention and then putting it up like it's theirs and put some text about their project is also popular in YouTube hacked accounts. And those comments that are supporting these scammers are also them, it is obvious that those are fake accounts too. Honestly, just like YouTube, Google, Facebook(Meta) isn't really strict in terms of these ads that are coming out to our feed. In fact, there's one that I've reported before about a fake ledger IPO and it's a sponsored ad.

A lot of red flags already.

• Allowing someone, a random stranger to remote access your PC
• Huge deposit
• Giving you rapport and trust that you can withdraw anytime

Yes, many from there are fake and paid reviews.
