That's weird, I have my CryptoTalk UID on that page and every few hours I have a balance that I can move to my BTC wallet on Yobit. Maybe you should message a forum admin or contact Yobit support.

You need to go to this page https://yobit.net/en/paybyposts/ and put in your CryptoTalk UID. It will show you the numbers of your posts for each day and the accumulated satoshis that you can claim.

By reading this article and watching the interview, it seems that for people looking to invest in ICOs, the most secure to invest into should be the people that will launch them in Malta. Starting 1 November, new regulations are coming in the country to help investors avoid scams. https://coingeek.com/jonathan-galea-malta-is-readying-itself-to-take-over-as-the-global-blockchain-hub-video/

I honestly expect the BTC price to also halve by the time we reach the halving in May. After that, if the usage increase we will also see an increase in price. I wouldn't give too much credit to the halving since most of the people in crypto already know it.

Eheh yes, USA and others involved with LR take down got them some nice gifts LOL I think I had some 50$, wasn't even worth the time to get them back. HYIPs and scams are very frequent in the crypto space due to being easy to mix the stolen money throught different cryptos and exchanges.

In 2013 I happened to have some Liberty Reserve dollars without any easy way to convert them to Euros here in Italy, I dumped them on some HYIPs. A couple of them gave me profits before eventually shut down, but most of them were active only for a couple of days before the owner ran with all the money.

I agree with you but I think the forum admins need some more time before allowing local boards, since they will need someone to moderate those threads.

I feel you and I know anything can happen in crypto, it is still such a small market that a big influx of money can make it easily go 100-1000X bringing up any single coin. 😁

Considering both ETH founders and developers working on it already told it can't scale and they knew it since the beginning, I hardly see Ethereum going very well in the future... https://www.coindesk.com/scam-or-iteration-at-devcon-ethereum-diehards-still-believe-in-2-0

I use bittrex way more and I can tell it's a very reliable exchange. You will need to send your info and documents for KYC and AML rules. On Yobit you can trade without any personal informations, and it also has way lower fees and a lot of random gambling shitcoins, if you enjoy some risks. 🤣

I think I barely used novaexchange years ago with some small cap alts. I've read for a long time that they were going to re-open but the fact that they're closing it again after so little time and having troubles already kinda scream "SCAM" to me.

If you check out the trading volumes you have BTC at $14B (which includes BTC/USDT, BTC/FIAT and BTC/alts pairs) while Thether's volume is at $17B (and includes USDT/BTC and USDT/alts), meaning that people are mainly using USDT in their alts trading. You can also notice how most of the charts around are usually about altcoins' FIAT values and not alts' values against BTC.

Eheh true, even if this lawsuit is a bit of a stretch, the law firm is asking for 1.4 trillion USD out of nowhere LOL. About that $1B it seems like part of it has been seized by the Polish authorities, the funniest thing is how they tag everyone asking for an audit as an enemy of Tether and cryptos (while the Tether whitepaper clearly states that they will do audits and aways have 1$ in their bank for every tether created). Yes, I used to trade alts to increase my BTCs in the past but sice Tether is now the most traded cryptocurrency, it's actually a single market where when BTC goes down everybody just sell their BTC and ALTS for Tethers. BTC to alts trading became a joke...

Ahahah that's true, everytime we read something about troubles at Bitfinex or Tether BTC starts pumping. Maybe this will be the catalyst for 100,000$ BTC and the beginning of a new alt season. 🙏

Yes, have you noticed the timing of them writing a post about eventual "mercenary lawsuits against tether and their affilates" just one thay before a lawsuit hitting them? As if they tried to discredit in advance anybody questioning their practices. 🤦‍♂️ That's the direct source for the deposited lawsuit, they're official documents but there is also an article on Cointelegraph and I think other crypto medias. https://cointelegraph.com/news/class-action-accuses-tether-and-bitfinex-of-market-manipulation

I think everybody interested in cryptocurrencies markets should keep an eye on the various lawsuits happening against Bitfinex and Tether. This is something that would affect the entire crypto industry. Tether's crash easily imply the crash for the whole industry (at least for some time). https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.524076/gov.uscourts.nysd.524076.1.0.pdf

I think going down for some time is good for BTC, especially after it failed to break and stay above 14000$. Another good thing is that you have more time for stacking sats at a lower price, means you will have more sats when BTC overtake ATH and goes to 100000$

Thanks for your thought, I really appreciate it. No I'm never going to use those services, the most used on is the Nexo Platform, for what I've read. I was just curious to know if someone really find them useful, because I don't 🤣

Exactly, they ask around 16% yearly as interest, to repay in fiat together with the initial loan. I suppose only people with too much cryptos and few ways to cash out are using those services. Yes that's a big risk, also coupled with the fact that you can't be sure after repaying your loan these services give your collateral back.

The use case for that is if you want to hold your coins but need cash, you ask a loan against your cryptos instead of cash out, similiar to a pawn shop. I also don't see much logic in that, I usually just cash out what I need for my current expenses.

I'm not joking, for example the most used one is NEXO platform, https://platform.nexo.io where you can ask instant loans by locking cryptos as collateral. That's just for BTC and ETH, for istance if you lock 1000$ worth of XRP or LTC you can ask up to 300 or 400$ 😂 Then you have 2 years to repay those money and (maybe) you will get your initial 1000$ back LOL

Yes in this case I was talking about lending websites. For example, I get that you deposit 1000$ worth of cryptos to get a 500$ loan, but I find it absurd that I need to then send another 500$ + interests to get back my 1000$... It would have more sense if I could just detract the 500$ + interests from my collateral and then get what remains of my collateral back.

I've been following some projects enabling users to require loans against their crypto holdings. A couple of them are NEXO and Bankera, also BTCpop is a BTC lending service existing since many years. What I find useless in these services, is that you have to double the amount you need to borrow, but to get it back you need to repay the loan with fresh money. Wouldn't it be easier if I could repay the loan + interests straight from the collateral? What are your thoughts?

Ahah you're welcome, it's sad if they're doing this just to be in the leaderboard. 😂 As if you get a prize by being ranked first LOL Yes I reported a couple of users which were clearly just spamming Yobit TOS in many threads. 🤦‍♂️

There was a user posting copy-paste contents with many usernames, that was totally a spammer. I just came today on this forum but you don't seem a spammer to me, posting a lot of useful contents and on topic replies to others' questions is fine I think.
