HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET Protect yourself from cyber criminals Good day to all of you guys I am EdsnowAngel a programmer and a bit security tester in different platforms. Now I heard to my friends a lot of concerns saying "please help me my bitcoin wallet was hacked!!"Ok ok first thing first when your bitcoin wallet gets compromised then your funds was send in different wallet then it is irreversible meaning no return of funds!! so I wanna tell everyone how to protect your bitcoin wallet from such kind of situation. 1st: Protect your GMAIL or EMAIL ACCOUNT We all know we use GMAIL as our email provider for such accounts like blockchain then we can recover and approve login with email in some wallets, now when your email account was targeted and get compromised then say goodbye to your bitcoin.To secure your bitcoin wallet(ex: blockchain or other) go to your google account settings. and then turn on the 2FA(2nd factor authentication) here is the guide on how to do it: STEP BY STEP GUIDE2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE It's a very bad idea to use someones device(ex:from friend) to make a transaction in your bitcoin wallet why? because first you don't know what is the capability of that person regarding that matters and you don't know if that phone has a lot of malwares and spywares.So we cannot say that you are safe using someones device to make transactions. 3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS This is the most important thing to remember for everyone using your ETH or BTC wallet without backing up your Private keys then you can't recover you wallet in case you forgot your wallet.PK's are very important but there are thing you should do first. Make sure you store your PK backup somewhere that you only know and not from your computer because there are some spyware that might inside of your computer that can steal that file so make sure you back it up print in a paper and hide it to the place where you only know. 4th: Don't open links from malicious emails This method was called email phishing where an attacker will send the same email in thousands of random users once the victim will click the link in that email then his or her device was compromised to avoid this please do not click the links included in the email immediately please always have time to check who is the sender of that email and if that email is came from the site where it supposed to came from. 5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions. 6th: Do not login on Suspicious links This method is called PHISHING where an attacker will send you a link to login with your bitcoin wallet luring you with the legitimate site example is: the real site is: https://www.blockchain.info/the fake site is: http://www.blockchain.ga/then once you login to the fake site then the hacker or attacker will have now your credentials. Please always check for the green lock on the url bar and the word HTTPS in the link. so this are some of the way to stop hackers to hack your bitcoin or crypto wallet. If you have other information then you can comment it down and lets help others. Good info at one single place. This will be helpful for most of the new comers and experienced people also. Right now security is the biggest concern for digital assets. So everyone be cautious before revealing any info in public and saving info in PCs. |

There are several groups trying to create cryptocurrency ETFs.What will happen to the value of bitcoin if Bitcoin ETFs are approved ?
In the initial stage of approval of Bitcoin ETF, the price of Bitcoin may not reflect much because already everyone in loss and exhausted with cryptomarkets by investing their savings. And no one fall for bigger moves because that will lead to crashes ultimately. So everyone will make small moves and the price of Bitcoin also will start climbing slowly and will reach its ATH in near terms. |

Price manipulation is done by using many ways.Publishing speculative news in favour of boosting bullish trend is a way.Here on the below link,we could see that news sites continuously release news that bitcoin price is to boom.If we see such moves,we should be cautious about investing otherwise we may get fooled and we might have to regret for our wrong investment.Don't let news media to decide your fortune. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9dimq2/headlines_two_days_ago_this_is_how_market/My request to every crypto holder is don't follow any Pump and dump groups. Mostly they will encourage us to buy their recommended token that they already bought at very cheaper price and they will tell us to circulate the positive news on that token to increase the pump on this token and at that time they will dump the token what they hold but they instruct us to hold until it reaches certain highs. This is pure form of making money by the admin of Pump and Dump groups. This practice is mostly illegal. Due to non presence of regulation these groups are still practicing these methods in the cryptomarkets. |

Do you recommend family and friends to join the market when it's crashing?
We pray for the prices to go up and to more people join the market, but will you recommend someone close to you to join when the prices are dropping like crazy?
If you do, explain why.
Yes, Because this is new asset class and which is same type of new inventions and having bigger scope than internet revolution. And we all know how the tech stocks given fruitful results for long terms HODLers even though the dot com bubble burst during 90s when the market cap reaches 6trillion dollars. Now we have more market reach than that time. So bull is confirmed in long term but when means we don't know. |

This life is full of risks and indeed we are all taking part of it. No one knows Satoshi Nakamoto but people have invested in BTC. In our education we even take risk considering the fact that after school you might not get work. Over the past months people have been complaining about the price of BTC and I think we should all know something very important. If you are a kind of person who is afraid to take risk. I saw some post talking of anxiety about btc investment and was like if you can't take risks just leave the crypto world cos you might end up getting Hypertension  . Check this post out guys- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4706131.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4469252.0Hope I am right guys? Any comments and suggestions. Everyone should try to use the new form of payment with new innovative technology. It is best to experience the payment system and other use cases irrespective of in a view to invest in new asset class of cryptocurrencies. The people who are willing to take risk in huge way only will be able to sustain in crypto market. Otherwise they will be disappointed in a big way. |

of course, we all see that all markets are red and there are some fears of getting down more and more in the following days. but on the other hand, no one can ignore that bitcoin is the leader of all the crypto market, so if it down the whole market will go down as well, so it is too hard to believe that it will die that easy
and the major investors of it will not allow this to happen.
what do you think, am I right?
In my view the future of cryptocurrencies without Bitcoin is zero. Bitcoin is the birth of cryptocurrencies. If Bitcoin fails then the people within the crypto market also will start leaving the crypto market and will move on with other investment opportunities. Because the strong belief in cryptocurrencies is generated based on Bitcoin strength only. |

In my experience bitcoin cash is a fork of bitcoin even BCH is faster and cheaper to use due to larger blocks but still it'a seen that most of the people are using BTC than BCH so why is bitcoin doing better than bitcoin cash?
I think Bitcoin cash mining mostly centralised by Bitmain or few other centralised players. And its future is mostly uncertain. And it is having more forks than Bitcoin and many other problems involved in Bitcoin cash compared with Bitcoin. |

Bitcoin seems to be rallying this month due to the high hopes associated with the SEC possibly agreeing with the pending ETFs.
I think I should be quite positive about VanEck-SolidX this time.
Do we send postcards to the SEC this month? Will it make any difference?
Right now SEC announced that the ETF decision will be extended further by 60 days. And they are seeking opinions and comments on few questions on approval from the public. And they will review their decision by considering public comments and will announce the approval or denial in December. |

More and more ICO projects are coming based on many major currencies and specially in this year the trend increased rapidly with many reputed organizations that are in various industries and trades decided to start there own digital currency to make there business more effective and efficient in order to gain more profit.
Can these new launching Altcoin's make a negative impact on bitcoin's expansion in the future because we all know in order to increase the demand, usability and accessibility of bitcoin it should be widely use in most business areas but if Altcoin's take these opportunities how it can achieve its vision to become a widely used digital currency
In my opinion they can't because if we observe the recent announcement made by SEC is Bitcoin and Ethereum only will come under non security tokens and all other ICO tokens will come under definition of security tokens. This ICO scheme is pure form of raising capital through tokens and the project performance depends on team execution and most of the projects have several bugs in smart contracts to generate their tokens infinitely. So it means no other Altcoin can't reach Bitcoin in terms of Market capitalisation. |

Since yesterday morning, UNICEF France is now officially accepting donations in bitcoin and 8 other cryptocurrencies (+ERC 20 Tokens) (I know that because I work there ) https://lp.unicef.fr/faire-un-don-en-cryptomonnaie/https://lp.unicef.fr/comment-faire-un-don-en-cryptomonnaie/Therefore, we would be very grateful if the BitcoinTalk community could help us by giving us your feedbacks on the pages, what to improve, to add or to correct, and better if you can relay the information to your network, and even better, if you could make a little donation to encourage the hesitating ones. Thank you for any help you can provide ! This is really good move by the biggest non profit organisation UNICEF by accepting cryptocurrency as donations. This will result in mass adoption of cryptocurrencies within ecosystem. And people will start believe in cryptocurrencies for making daily payments and for store of value. |

People go here and there spooling,spreading and propagating FUD to get on peoples emotions and to put them on PANIC MODE just so they sell their BTC, and you know what, PANIC SELLERS in these industry are LAZY, they can't and won't research and understand after lots of rise and fall in these year that the KING of all digital currencies is just going through a phase.
I personally Love PANIC SELLERS, and I hope there can be a section on these platform where they register so that people like me can contact them to buy CHEAP from they..
GRACIAS PANIC SELLERS, MUCH LOVE TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE BLESSING FUTURE MILLIONAIRES WITH YOUR COIN
We are almost exhausted with the panic sellers and the market almost reached its bottom. Bulls are waiting to find an opportunity to enter into market. We will see next bull run in the coming months. |

I think this is the right time for getting a good profit in the future. I want to give to advise that it is a chance for the investor, now buy bitcoin and hold for some time and you know what to do you can sale your bitcoin when the price is high.
Mike Novogratz mentioned recently that Bitcoin reached its bottom and once it reaches 8800$ then it will run to 10000$ and he told that once it crosses 8800$ mark then it won't be back below 8800$ |

I wonder what is better, a Mass bounty hunter or a full time crypto trader? What are the pros and cons of each chosen position?
I am a full time bounty hunter in 2017 and I was able to earn good money in short period by participating in good project bounties. Right now good projects are not offering any bounties to communities and only shit projects are offering their shit coins for our hard work. They are mis directing the bounty hunters by mentioning like 1 million dollar bounty. But it is not even worth 10000$ worth when these tokens hit exchanges. Participating in bounties for project which don't have innovation and lack of good team result in decline of token price. |

How can I earn cash without investing? Can I earn a thousand dollars without investing or buying first?
By participating in project promotion campaign like bounty Campaigns. In which you can earn money heavily for writing articles and for projecting their project banner in your posts. And if you are a developer then you can earn bounties from bug findings. And many more oppertunitiy available to earn in crypto space. |

For something that can become a popular means of payment, you need the following:
Store of value: allowing individuals to make intemporal choices on when to spend their purchasing power
Medium of exchange: facilitating the exchange of goods and services by eliminating the inefficiencies associated with a barter economy
Unit of account: acting as a measure of value in the economic system.
Do you think the bitcoin has all three of these elements? I am looking forward to the bitcoin will become a popular payment method in the future.
I think Bitcoin is already captured two definitions out of three. As of now most of people are storing their wealth in Bitcoin and becomes as Store of value. And Bitcoin became unit of account because most of the altcoins are trading with base currency Bitcoin. And only one left, that is medium of exchange - this is in progress. Lightening network recently released its desktop wallet and if it releases its version for mobile then in no time we will see Bitcoin as medium of exchange. |

Bitcoin is now at about 6k$...
I bought tons of bitcoin when the price was at 3k$ and then sold at about 17k$, I made profits then, but now I don't think that the price can go up again...
Will it?
If you bought some BTC in higher prices then you may feel that Bitcoin is bad investment. But Bitcoin is oftenly effects with so many bad news from different governments all over the world. And every Government is trying to understand the nature of crypto market and making regulations according to it. Due to lack of understanding in so many people the BTC price is falling heavily. But it will recover soon once everyone trying to catch the real value of BTC. |

The Ceo of Bitcoin cash recently stated that soon people wouldn't be needing banks anymore.Does it mean the world is going crypto soon or he is just bluffing.
Yes ofcourse that is the aim of cryptocurrencies. We can eliminate the need of centralized authorities like banking system and Government involvement in money supply. These centralised entities are should be there only for controlling and not for creating artificial and unnecessary inflation due to their immatured decision making. |

For me it's clear, from the moment BTC went to the Dow it slide down and be played by the big boys.
More and more we see up's and down's controlled by some big players between 6000 and 7500.
Alt coins are following that vibe, and some step out the line but be pushed in the direction the big players want.
I ask myself who is behind it, are governments behind it that not like the BTC and want it pushed down to get people frustrated.
So frustrated that many of us, get sick and tired of the up line pushed down already few time around 7400.
Ofcourse we are human, and after some push down's, we want to be strong and not give up.
But we also not want to be that person that miss the boot, where the rest break and sell the BTC.
It's almost 12 o clock when this price will go up around 7400 again, and drops down again i see a huge drop coming.
And the faith in going up higher, will be lost more and more. And that is what they want.
So what are you going to do ? Am I wrong ? It's massive indoctrination dunn by huge selling dumps.
We have 2 options Guys, let them play with us and let them win.
Or show them that BTC is much stronger then some Jealous scary Government, they need to be stopped.
We can only win this battle if you leave your finger off the Sell button.
Succes gr Bas sorry for shitty English
I don't think Bitcoin is dead and not going to be dead in future also due to its unique fundamentals and approach compared to other altcoins. May be most of the Altcoin projects may dead due to not achieved their goals. And some of the project are out of cash in their pockets for further development of project. But crypto market is here to stay and will grow bigger than anyone expected. |
