People might be exchange Bitcoin right now anonymously but just like Monero it will be harder to do it in the future once a full enforcement of regulation will happen which is inevitable. Majority of the governments who are willing to accept cryptocurrencies are always pointing about the regulations the industry will undergo in order for it to be accepted. Since the characteristic of it only digitally existing their KYC process and enforcement are always round the clock due to AML compliances, the enforcement might not be strict in your country now but once the crypto industry becomes popular in your country I would expect anonymous transactions happening in the internet would be less and less likely to happen.

Don't you mean a correction rather than a bull trap? If this was indeed a bull trap we won't be staying in the 9,500$ for long and bull trap being bearish will just mean that Bitcoin supposed to be going down way beyond the 9,000 or even 8,000$ level just to prove that we are still in a bearish market and that is a clear indication of it. That's why the price drop we are seeing right now is just a correction and we might consolidate here for a while as it has been for Bitcoin in months now. And at this point we are neither bearish nor bullish since the market lacks action lately.

The ransomware is unique based on the article provided it doesn't require any kind of user error for it to penetrate the system as the ransomware is able to control your pc if you are connected somehow to a remote desktop server which I don't think a lot of people have. But just like what the article bleepingcomputer created they still don't have a lot of information to go through on how or why this people are getting it so maybe not messing around with websites as well as emails is still a must before we found out how does this ransomware is able to get through with PCs.

I think the appropriate tag for them has been given already by the OP, if they are alt accounts cheating a bounty campaign then it is already proven that this person is abusing the merit system by sending merits to his other account. So you really don't need additional evidence beside this 50 sMerits sent to himself, I don't know if another DT member will be tagging them but I think it's already enough for others to see that this person really cheated the bounty campaign.

When will this kind of lawsuits end? I mean its always about disgruntled investors pointing fingers on to someone for their losses and I don't think they have the right to blame it on someone without substantial evidence. Right away if the court sided with the plaintiffs they are admitting partially that Bitcoin is a "bubble" with their claims as much as I hate USDT and Bitfinex I don't want this decision to be made in favor of the complainants since it will just damage the reputation of Bitcoin and maybe some other cryptocurrencies that the complainants have invest in. But if they have substantial proof that Bitfinex and Tether really just created USDT to pump the market during December 2017 I don't think this is a winnable case for them.

I don't see any kind of new "law" here. We already know that there are only two kinds of assets here tangible and intangible assets simply if we can't touch it then it just falls in intangible assets such as stocks, bonds, as well as assets that only exists digitally like Bitcoin this isn't really a law but for me a confirmation of what we already know and I don't think it change since even intangible assets are inherited by their heirs without any kind of special laws like what is created by China.

Being "anonymous" is irrelevant here as literally if you go in the marketplace section right now you won't see any people revealing their names or anything about their identity but all of them are posting their sample works, accomplished works, as well as vouches from other people just to prove that their service is legit not only their words are backing them up but actual produced work from previous jobs. I mean can posting your work may lead you to being identified here in the forum? If it does and you are problem about that then I don't think BCT is a place for you or rather to put it simply nobody will be trusting you in the first place.

Basing it on the calcio news I have seen Tonali from Brescia's president said that he already declined a move happening from Barcelona as he already knows that he will be covered in depth of the squad. He will likely stay in Serie A where you already mentioned the likely clubs he will go. As for the Brescia club I know that Serie A clubs won't be able to match the offer of Barcelona but the thing is if the player denies the contract the transfer won't even push through so Tonali here is the one who really has the choice of where he would go next.

Bro I can't believe that you posted the same topic/question twice in different boards, your second post from what I remembered originally was posted in the project development section and is now moved in the gaming development section. My answer is still the same and I don't think there is really money to be earned here since it sound more like a in-game currency rather than a cryptocurrency.

It can be taught as how I view things since we do have some psychologist and human behavioral science who can teach you this things. I think the better thing to say here is even if you teach/reminds them to control their emotions while trading it will still really depend on him/her doing his part. And for newbies being carried around their emotions I don't blame them since the crypto market is really a volatile market for any newbies to enter in their first time around, I know that the price action is much faster for others to have a proper decision that's why the best thing to handle this is to have an entry and exit strategy as well as a cut loss strategy at place and be set in stone so no matter what will happen as long as he/she is contended with his plan he/she can keep his emotions intact.

He did research on it but the problem here is even if the OP have seen a lot of red flags prior to the deal he still push through with the deal which for me is a bad decision making on his side. He didn't really lack on doing research as proven by how he have found out a lot of things after as proven what he had posted in the OP the problem here is why he had agreed with the transaction. To be honest this mistake is one of those where you will learn the most as anyone who will fall for this even though they have seen a lot of red flags beforehand will really learn from this mistake.

This is the statement for Altcoin's Marketplace Section:

This is the statement for Bitcoin's Marketplace Section:

Rizzrack is right although I think that posting giveaway threads in the games and round section is still in a case-by-case basis. The mod reviewing this thread might have given them a free past as some of the process in their giveaway are done externally and is not mostly about incentivizing the post itself.

This is where the premise of the whole article is and I doubt this will even happen. Remember how popular Libra was and how quickly a lot of countries have banned/denied it even before it will be launched? The same thing will happen to China's digital Yuan, if you think about it countries like Japan, Germany, US, and U.K are all blaming China because of the pandemic I doubt that they will even be on board when this cryptocurrency will launch especially now that their diplomatical skills are very bad as of the moment.

That's the good thing of having a digital ledger where you can monitor every transaction happening from that address as you can always see what is coming and going from that address. However I would say that blockchain is a double-edged sword, I know that a lot of people now are already looking at the transaction history of addresses and sometimes this is used in a bad way from scams and fake projects, they will often send out Bitcoin or any other crypto to themselves to make it look like this project/scam is still active just to fool people, a lot of HYIP and Doublers do this as well either in the real blockchain or a fake one showing in their website.

I've read Plan B's Bitcoin S2F model and all I can say is that even if his price prediction and explanation is very convincing the thought of his analysis only focusing on the supply and demand of Bitcoin made me feel that it is inaccurate. There are still a lot of external factors to consider when we are talking about the price forecasting of Bitcoin since it greatly affects it's price movement regardless of the current demand and supply of Bitcoin. External factors such as laws, macroeconomy, and adoption is something that the S2F hasn't taken into consideration which makes the price prediction purely based into it be inaccurate.

I don't know if this would help but last 3 days ago someone posted about RP9mining.com being a scam it never really got any attention since the OP of the thread wasn't really reliable on his accusations as he mainly post about scam mining hardware websites without any evidence of a transaction happening. So maybe posting those screenshots will help your case on other members believing you that this website is indeed a scam.

I always have two things in mind when someone ask this question.

1. Blockchain - How can Bitcoin be anonymous if literally all transactions made through blockchain can be shown to everyone along with dates, amount, and transaction fee? How can Bitcoin be Anonymous if Blockchain is also known as a "digital ledger" for Bitcoin's transaction? A lot of the authorities are already connecting addresses and linking them to illicit activities with the use of Blockchain so the blockchain alone eliminated the ability of Bitcoin to be anonymous.

2. Government - Can the government really allow a cryptocurrency who has been used in the dark web successfully be in some kind of no regulation? Of course when they see that Bitcoin has the potential to be used in illicit activities from money laundering to tax evasion you know the government won't allow this to have some kind of restraint towards on how it can be used freely.

So theymos' last post in Reddit was 21 days ago I don't know if this is related but I think people should know that r/BTC is taken over by Roger Ver and his army of trolls. I'm just surprised that theymos is somehow not affected by them.



I can say that I am agreeing to you observations. My first thought when the halving of block rewards happened miners as of that time would be more willing to hold their Bitcoin rather than sell it at the current price hoping for a more higher price since rewards now will be scarce their margin of error for each of their trades will be bigger that's why if they can still hold Bitcoin without incurring any losses they should hold it. And to be honest I am really surprised that Bitcoin was the fastest one to recover its price which just tells us that the recent dip was caused by FUD and not a decreased in demand.

You didn't read the news I guess. This does not make already illegal activities illegal in Russia but the drafted bill contains making the user of crypto illegal overall. From the issuance of cryptocurrencyes, circulation of it, as well as using cryptocurrencies as means of payment will be illegal based on the drafted bill of Russia with punishments going to 7 years in prison. I mean can you believe that? You going to jail just because you have crypto assets in that country? I don't think that this kind of bill should be made into a law because first of all it isn't even gonna be equal to all parties I know the Russian government is strict when it comes to AML but simply banning cryptocurrencies isn't really the solution here as a big industry will be affected.

That's why it is important not to always believe on what other people are saying specially if they are a highly influential person in the industry like McAfee as they can always back down on what they are saying and make it like they were only joking that time or will say that they haven't guaranteed anything about it. For people still believing on the price predictions of McAfee in Twitter or in anywhere just remember that he himself have revealed that he is accepting payments for a paid tweet so yeah he himself know that his followers in Twitter are literally following on what he is saying so I'll be careful next time on what I'll be believing in the internet because in their eyes you are just fools following them.
