I think I have the same issue? I haven't used MetaMask for two months, however, I had all of my Private Keys and Seeds stored in a safe place (I used at least 5 wallets). I logged in 2 days ago, updated the add–on, and retrieved my Ethereum wallet using my Private Key and Address, but the balance was absolutely zero. I couldn't care less since I only had around 0.002ETH in that wallet. The problem is, I am not sure whether the wallet I retrieved is the one I was using back then or not.

The present situation of the market has caused panic into the minds of some crypto enthusiasts. Some have not seen so much dip as this. One thing i know is that, crypto is very volatile. So no matter how much it falls, it will definitely rise back. Just watch out for what will happen in few weeks' time. I will only urge you to wait and do not sell in panic.
This is the reason why Bitcoin is falling https://www.coindesk.com/no-surprise-here-crypto-yawns-as-sec-kicks-can-on-bitcoin-etf-decision/People are waiting and see what happen if Bitcoin will be approved or not, we are all hoping that it will eventually approve I think investors and traders alike took the SEC's postpone decision of Bitcoin ETF negatively as if it is a sign of rejection (since this is one of the most 'promising' ETFs proposed to the SEC). Shortly after, articles started popping out about 'experts' in the crypto world speculating that the first ETF will be approved in 2019 (February, to be specific).

If you have witnessed the market slump and didn't short, you are now bag–holding—you have two choices: either get out and recoup (easier said than done), or wait it out especially if you hold one of the top coins (requires eliminating emotions, and patience). If you are going to take the second choice, the real question would be, for how long?
I have bought some XVG (Verge) at 0.0000320BTC thinking it bottomed, however, it has lost 40% more of its value, and I am still holding. If there is one thing I have learned trading Cryptocurrencies for more than a year, it is that short–term never works out if you want serious gains. I had invested in a coin, waited for 3 weeks, saw no movements, and sold at 3% profit. In the 4th week, the coin witnessed its highest pump. Another incident: I bought an ERC20 token (don't recall its name) on EtherDelta, after two days it went 150% more, sold it happily, woke up next day, and it went 890% more.
What I want to say is, holding is better if you truly know which coins you have and what their foreseeable future might be.

Anyone can easily determine whether a Telegram group numbers are real. If a project's announcement thread was posted, say 2 days ago, barely had 1–2 pages with replies, but their Telegram group is raking in 10K–50K members out of nowhere, you know it is fake/paid/bots.

Yes, this is just a fake news. Today's kucoin has officially announced this issue. I think perhaps someone wants to create FUD to continue to push down market prices. This is not fake news, just a bit misinformed. Back in August 2017, KuCoin's website was based in Hong Kong so everyone assumed they were located there, however, during China's break down on cryptocurrencies, they relocated to Singapore and had a small office in Philippines (they posted this on their official blog by the date of April 12th, 2018). I see no reason keeping this discussion up, so I will lock the thread.

Unfortunately, even genuine threads asking questions or requiring help get nuked by spammers, which makes this forum look like a chore. It is irritating to see questions like, 'Bitcoin is down, is it time to invest now?' 'I lost $xx,xxx in trading, should I cry/stop trading/end my life?' 'What is bitcoin/cryptocurrencies to you?' 'Will/How bitcoin/cryptocurrencies change the world?' still posted today, and the thread always gets some useless first replies, very few genuine replies, then spammers start quoting each other and beating the dead horse.
I only enjoy this forum reading new threads, threads with few replies, or threads in specific, not spam-oriented sections.

This reminds me of charts posted on Telegram paid and free "signals" channels—every time the market dips, they put some lovely lines across a bitcoin chart combined with "BTC will go bullish to $xx,xxx after it breaks $x,xxx." It never comes to fruition. No matter how good you are in Technical Analysis or 'charts reading,' Cryptocurrencies market will surprise you.

I don't get what's the big deal of having more than 50% Bitcoin dominance or less than that. Bitcoin supporters will continue using it forever and altcoin supporters will run in the first big drop This is good news. It means that the market is rationalising and returning to pre–late 2017/early 2018 bubble state. Now gone are those altcoins highly inflated prices and fake marketcaps.

Okay. But what does this have to do with 'Altcoin Discussion'? You should move your topic to 'Bitcoin Discussion.' (You should find a 'Move topic' button at the bottom left corner of your thread.) On-topic, if Bitcoin reaches $20,000, then what? I am interested to know your hypothesis.

Bitcoin got there by himself because he is a disruption as an asset and technology. It was to be an alternative to the financial system, not a tentacle of it.
Bitcoin got there because the hype machine was on the high road grabbing those in its way and hitting those who stand against it. One day of December in the last year, every news outlet suddenly became interested in reporting news about this hot 'new' digital currency that is a sure–way of getting rich quickly. People started FOMO (fear of missing out), and rushed to buy their 'quick way of becoming millionaires,' with zero knowledge or interest in the technology itself. This created a bubble, which soon burst and everyone panicked and rushed just as fast to get out. Now we are here.

Will content/files creators receive their payments in tokens or USD? I am asking this because it matters to the average Joe who goes by 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' Other than that, this indeed is an ambitious project that provides a solution to an actual real–world problem (a rarity in the crypto world nowadays, it seems) that products creators (such as myself) deal with daily. It is worth keeping an eye on.

If it is not ready yet, you should put a "Pre-ANN" in the title. I have a few questions: What does this exchange provide that nearly over 500 other exchanges don't? What are some of its unique features that will make traders interested? Why do we need yet another exchange?

NO one is forcing you to get out! why do you all get mad?? let me guess You realize that you have few bags worth nothing? come one grow up....Most people here can't invest in bitcoin...so they are all in altcoin....no one is forcing you to stay...people keep saying hold hold hold...well hold then...good luck holding...after the ETF decision which let face it will be negative it will even be worst....cry all you want or aply abit of logic... With this kind of mentality, I am wondering, why are you here then? Why does the Great Wizard of OZ (i.e., You) bother warning us, kids and adolescents (apparently), of this terrible ending of cryptocurrencies?

It is a yes only if you have enough initial investment funds (i.e., money for mining equipment). Due to large interest in mining (which leads to an even larger rise in difficulty and smaller gains) and low value of cryptocurrencies, mining is not a no-brainer activity, even with free electricity. You still should think about this matter thoroughly before investing.

The concept of MyShield is good, however, it still doesn't guarantee that you won't be scammed by a project's ICO. I mean, who/what could predict a sudden scam exit or hack and theft of ICO funds, especially if the project is top-notch and has a robust team?

While I like the idea of BrandShield's AI powered cyber-intelligence technology, I am wondering, why did the team choose to include users reports on potential scams? Online reviews, reports, ratings, etc. are always subject to manipulation (being paid, internal endorsements, emotions and perceptions of the project, etc.). What guarantees the 'honesty' of the reports provided by the community?

Posting a link to the original article would have been nice. I would like to know whether the author stated that $4 trillion U.S. Dollars have been wiped out from the global stock markets in a week after just 8 days of 'record high' values. The formal stock market has been around for 200 years; Cryptocurrencies market is almost entering its first decade, so it is still an infant. Our current value fluctuations shouldn't be a surprise for such an immature market.

Going by your lovely post history, I would say that you are trolling. If you think getting out of crypto world in bear times is such a good idea, I recommend taking your own advice and leave—cryptocurrencies market is not for you.
