  1. A huge bitcoin whale has just emptied a wallet, transferring 9000 bitcoins. amazingly enough this transaction only cost him/her $1.16. The charts and analysts show that this 9000 BTC was originally entered into that address at the end of June, and there was no activity on the wallet until it was moved off. For such a large transaction i guess it can be thoughts that this could be an exchange or a company/institution that is using crypto, however how will such a large transaction affect bitcoin prices. whales to a large extent have some control over market prices as they impact supply and demand. What do you guys think? I would like to hear your thoughts on this transaction. Here is the link to the article: https://dailyhodl.com/2020/08/14/massive-bitcoin-whale-abruptly-moves-106000000-in-btc-heres-where-the-crypto-is-heading/
  2. Recently the price of bitcoin was on track to reach the peak price seen in December of 2017, however this was short-lived as the currency plummeted over $2000 in a single day. as with many, it is believed that the price of bitcoin will recover and that this was just a correction to the market before the bull market continues. I myself have seen many articles that suggest this as well and I too believe that this could be the case. However, a recent article says that bitcoin may not be able to recover from this drop in price. Based on the recent analysis that was conducted by the crypto analysts at CryptoQuant, it seems that whales have been moving their bitcoin into the exchanges. Based on the past behavior of the whales, it seems that moving the bitcoin into exchanges either results in the price being constant, a sideways trend, or that the price will drop rapidly as they start to trade and sell off their bitcoin. Therefore crypto analysts are saying that we may not be out of the woods yet and it is likely that bitcoin price may drop even further. The bitcoin support is at $15789 and if the price goes below that at any point it could mean trouble for bitcoin value and those that are investing now. What do you think about this huge whale movement of bitcoin to the exchanges? Perhaps now will be a good time to sell your bitcoin and invest in a more stable coin, in the event that these whales start to sell of their crypto assets in the coming weeks.
  3. Blake Star 2.0, the BLAS trading symbol, is a digital cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity for its users. The Blake Star 2.0 network is supported by one new algoritm x22, as well as the creation of paid masternode nodes, decentralized miners that process transactions in blocks that are added to the public blockchain. When creating each block, a certain amount of Blake Star 2.0 is created, which is paid to the miners, as well as to the masternode nodes that are served by the network. The complexity of the algorithms for checking the work progress is adjusted so that a block is created approximately every 2.3 minutes. Blake Star 2.0 was created not only to provide reliable user privacy that Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies lacked at the time, but also to provide a cryptocurrency that could support possible repression from hostile governments and central banks. Unlike many alternative cryptocurrencies, which only serve to financially enrich developers, Blake Star 2.0 was released in a completely transparent manner and with a fair initial distribution of coins. The coin is actively developing, a team of 4 active developers is working on the project every day. Developers have a long history of working on online privacy issues. In digital networks, anonymity is the lack of evidence that can reveal the true identity, social data, and location of someone. While the lack of identifying information such as names or addresses is the first step towards achieving anonymity, it is not enough in the context of digital blockchain transactions using bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. This partial anonymity is pseudonymous, not anonymous: all your transactions are visible, and the only thing that protects you is your “fake” name. Currently, the development team is working to create an innovative platform that will achieve the maximum level of anonymity and speed of transactions in the Blake Star 2.0 network. The platform will work on the principle of differentiation of block hashes at the input and output of transactions, in addition, all active master nodes that will participate in this process, every 20 days will receive an additional reward of 220 coins. The master nodes will be added to the wallet functions when the network reaches 70,000 blocks. The price of the master node will be 13,750 coins. Also, taking into account the completion of new features, the remuneration for the block will be changed by +175%.For better network protection, a new algorithm of own development x22 was also added !! SPECEFICATIONS: Symbol: BLAS Consensus:PoW (proof-of-work)new algoritm x22, and masternode.

  4. PayID is trying to make payments as easy and as fast as possible. You don't have to remember your account number, instead you could register your email or phone number to work as a PayID. And beautiful thing is that it's a cross platform system. And they are working with Ripple, Brave, Huobi and blockchain.com. So far it has centered on Australia so this is not for everyone (Not for me at least and i don't think our country will adopt this) but i guess they are looking to scale in the future. What do you think? Is this going to be a thing or will there be competition to render this payment system useless? I am not the biggest fan of Ripple but i thought i should share this to spark some conversation.

  5. Centralized system like banks are held accountable for their clients' funds, and to protect them, they have established laws, safety checks, procedures, etc., that, while this is ultimately for the benefit of the clients, makes some becoming apprehensive if all those excruciating procedures are worth it; hence the many people who don't have bank accounts. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are decentralized, but still, there is a need for a convenient platform for exchanging them to each other and to other valuable commodities like fiat; hence trading platforms like cryptocurrency exchanges exist. But just because cryptocurrency exchanges do not have as much restraints as the banking system doesn't mean that they can do just about anything they want without upsetting their clients. In this article I am giving the link to, points and examples are given where exchanges should be more careful when dealing with something new, because unlike traditional financial systems (banks, stock exchanges, etc.), crypto users can just switch to another trading platform if they find their current platform making moves that might affect them in one way or the other. All in all, it all falls down to one word: trust. Here's the link to the article: https://www.coindesk.com/crypto-markets-decentralized-accountability
  6. source: https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/22/22195834/cryptocurrency-fincen-regulations-private-wallets The cryptocurrency world has survived quite a lot over the years despite major setbacks: natural, man-made, or othewise. But it looks like the US government isn't finished yet. They have introduced yet another proposed regulation against crypto, and they picked the perfect timing for it: the Yuletide season. The regulation in question has something to do about your cryptocurrency wallets. Basically, it means that if you happen to send a large amount of money via crypto exchanges, you will be asked for KYC requirements, and here's the kicker: the US government can ask those exchanges to hand over your information. US-based exchanges naturally filed a complaint on this, especially given that counterarguments to the proposal may be limited due to the long holidays. I don't know about the other exchanges outside of US jurisdiction, but if the other countries follow the US' lead, then this might spell trouble for the whole crypto community. If this regulation becomes the norm for existing cryptocurrency exchanges everywhere, then what the article said, "... make cryptocurrency exchanges act a lot more like banks" will become true. For regular traders dealing with large amounts of crypto coins, they should ask: "Where's the convenience in that?" Despite the news (the article was written in Dec. 22, 3 days ago BTW), its effect on the Bitcoin bullrun is neglible, with BTC still going strong at the ~$23,000 range. But things might change if this US proposal goes through uncontested, thanks in part by announcing it during Xmas.
  7. One of the major news developments in the ripple scene (XRP) is that the company was thinking about leaving the USA and moving to another country, with the two countries being shortlisted for this move being Singapore and Japan. This would have been an incredible development for ripple, as Japan has already begun developing ways in which to integrate ripple into their payment platforms, which could prove to be monumental for the price of ripple moving forward. However, in a recent article is appears that this may not be case after all. Six weeks after initially stating that the company was looking to relocate their headquarters, it seems that the CEO is not taking a wait and see approach. According to the CEO of Ripple (XRP) he is waiting to see the regulatory changes and effects that the new President of the USA, Joe Biden, will have on the currency and then they will take a decision from there. The CEO even went on to say that there is no set deadline on when they will make this decision and therefore it seems that the relocation of the company's headquarters has now taken a backseat. What is your hopes for crypto? Personally i would like to see a relocation of the headquarters, because I feel that Asian countries such as Singapore and Japan are much more open to crypto, and as such we are likely to see much more development in the currency if the headquarters had to change countries. I think that it would be good for the future of ripple. This is just my opinion though. Share your opinion on this as well. If you would like to read the full article with all the details, here is the link to the article: https://www.coindesk.com/ripple-leaving-usa
  8. Banks have been regularly being portrayed as one of those institutions that reject cryptocurrencies. This has been mentioned oftentimes in some discussions on this forum as well, but few of those gave details on why it does. In this topic, we will discuss about an aspect that banks oftentimes find fault in crypto: transactions. Perhaps there may have been something to do with the volatility of most crypto, but stablecoins might offer an alternative for less volatility. Still we don't see and hear much about banks readily adopting stablecoins, if volatility is really an issue. Why? If anonymity is an issue, there is already KYC, and I am getting the feeling that the crypto community as a whole, over the years, concede that KYC can be accepted as a compromise for preventing and apprehending crime-related transactions. There are other features beside KYC too. But there is still no dice for most banks trying to be more 'friendly' to crypto. Why? There is an article posted recently that gave some insight into this issue. The link is here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/why-banks-keep-blocking-cryptocurrency-related-transactions To simplify things, I will try to summarize the reasons why crypto transactions are blocked or restricted, which is already given in the article: The regulators - Banks will try to block crypto transactions due to their policies, either existing ones or recently passed/amended, that is aimed at regulating their own national currencies, among other things. The acquirers - Other institutions tied to banks like credit card companies, online money delivery services, etc., have doubts about the safety and security of crypto coins and transactions. What more do the global banking system wants for crypto to do before it allow legitimate crypto transactions in its system in its entirety? There are already some prominent countries whose banks are becoming more open to the notion of cryptocurrencies, why are there still others that steadfastly refuse even until now? Do you have answers or comments on this issue? Please share to us here. Further questions are also most welcome.
  9. It isn't Bitcoin's companion protocols like Lightning Network nor Liquid Network that currently has more widespread off-chain uses of BTC itself, but ETH, a rival altcoin, according to this article. https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-has-become-bitcoins-top-off-chain-destination (For an idea of what is an off-chain transaction, check out this link.) Shouldn't Bitcoin's native protocols be the ones to have preeminence over other alternatives? Why have this happened? Does the Bitcoin Lightning Network and others not performing as well as ETH's 'tokenized BTC', or is Ethereum's flexibility proving to be the greater asset? Apparently, it's both, if the article is interpreted this way. Now that Ethereum has made it apparent that it is the users' better choice when it comes to off-chain applications, will we see some changes and improvements on the Lightning Network in the following days, or will they continue on in their current path of "a narrower focus of improving the speed and privacy of small and large off-chain bitcoin transactions" as the article says? We'll see.
  10. Bitcoin available for local taxes payment in Switzerland By CryptoKnight| 1 min ago The small Swiss municipality of Zermatt accepts Bitcoin for the payment of local taxes. The company Bitcoin Switzerland has just installed a crypto-payment solution in Zermatt City Hall. Taxpayers can now pay their taxes directly with the first cryptocurrency on the market, bitcoin. The firm’s comment in its latest press release: «Bitcoin Switzerland is thrilled to support the municipality of Zermatt, one of the most popular tourist resorts in Switzerland, with its integrated solution for bitcoin payments,» Residents can send their bitcoins which are then exchanged instantly for Swiss francs and transferred to the municipality’s bank account for the payment of local taxes. By accepting Bitcoin (BTC) as a means of payment, Zermatt once again finds itself among pioneers in the field and supports growing environment of cryptocurrencies. Zermatt is not precursor in the field, indeed the city of Zug already accepts bitcoin as an official means of payment since 2016. Located in the mountains of southern Switzerland, the municipality has 5700 inhabitants, well known for its ski resort and tourist facilities. Last year, The Dolder Grand, a large luxury hotel located in the heights of Zurich, announced its intention to accept bitcoin as a means of payment. == Nice Days for Bitcoin ==
  11. Many blockchain analytic companies exist as Coinalysis, Ciphertrace, and a dozen more. Coinbase after acquiring a company called Neutrino was forced to fire some of its members which were involved with spying dissidents of authoritarian regimes and hacking their computers using phishing attempts. Later Coinbase released its blockchain surveillance software (developed by Neutrino) which they sold to the US Government. It is now the turn of the Russian Financial Crime Agency that is being funded to develop a software linking transaction to names, as RBC (rbc.ru) explains in this article. Rosfinmonitoring is developing an AI solution that will be able to monitor and remove anonymity in Bitcoin, Dash, and Monero. Dash and Monero are considered privacy coins that use obfuscating methods making transactions anonymous. Dash has been criticized in the past for having a weak anonymity procedure while Monero is seen as the top privacy coin and there were even reports by government agencies about the anonymity it provides. Bitcoin on the other hand is not anonymous as everything is permanently recorded on the blockchain. Yet there are methods of mixing transactions of many users together and exporting them in new wallets making researchers unable to find out the route of transactions. These services mixers are often used by Bitcoin holders having privacy and security concerns, but also used by the darknet markets and scammers while trying to obfuscate and hide their track when trying to liquidate the bitcoins they acquired. With the system, Rosfinmonitoring is developing they hope to train AI algorithms linking obfuscated transactions and canceling anonymity. Numbers in Bitcoins held - Source: Chainalysis We claim Monero, ZCash, and Bitcoin mixing services today provide anonymity to the user, but we can't safely say that this will be the same in the future. Even now, crypto users just trust some people that claim this is true without being able to research on their own, as they lack certain skills that only a few people in the crypto space possess. Certainly, privacy is an issue and similar is the problem of the rising in volumes darknet markets which are giving a terrible name to cryptocurrencies all these years. Certainly this is controversial subject.
  12. With the invention of crypto there are many that also attempt to steal the crypto that was made by others, and in so doing they are able to profit quite handsomely. However in order to stop these attacks and thefts, we need to educate ourselves on the malware that is out there and how we can be protected from them. One such malware is known as the Lokibot. There has been a major increase in the number of infections by the malware since July 2020, and it is known to be an information stealer. this malware typically comes through in spam emails and has the extension of ISO, and therefore this is something that you should be very careful about. Immediately delete any such emails. Other ways in which this malware is distributed is through the torrent files. If you had to open this email, it would infect your computer and give access of your system to the hackers via backdoors, where they will be able to access emails, and your crypto wallets. They will even be able to steal your passwords and documents, and this can be detrimental to you if you have a lot of crypto or personal information stored that can be used to extort money from you. Be careful when online and opening or downloading unfamiliar attachments.
  13. There are many sites on the internet that make use of mining, so that when the site is opened in a user's machine it will mine in the background and make use of the users machine as a way in which the site can earn money. This can be damaging to the machine of the user, but greatly beneficial to those that are managing the site. Other ways in which this is done is through crypto jacking, where a malware is installed on the users machine in order to mine the crypto, such as MONERO. However, in a recent article, Microsoft has warned that this in fact may just be a diversion from a more serious criminal attack on your machine. In a recent report, it was found that this methodology was actually used as a diversion in order to divert the users attention away from the true intention of the malware or trojan, and that is for credential theft. this is much more dire as many have much of their financial credentials stored on their machines, which could prove extremely detrimental. One such group that employs these tactics is BISMUTH. Therefore please be careful with these malware and be sure to use a secure antivirus and ensure that you do not install or visit any dangerous sites that could potentially lead to credential theft.
  14. Stable coins have become quite popular in the crypto world and with each passing day there are more and more companies that are attempting to release stable coins into the crypto market. However, this may soon slow down significantly as the result of a new US bill that has been passed, requiring that all of the stable coins that enter the market, must secure bank charters and must get approval first before they are put into circulation. The reason for this is that these stable coins are known to pose a risk to fiat currencies in the future, especially as their value is pegged to that of the fiat currency itself, and therefore people may choose to rather invest in the stable coin over the actual fiat currency. Do to this risk and posed threat that the fiat currency is experiencing, the hope is that this wil make stable coins regulated. However the question now arises of whether or not the stable coin companies will still look to stable coin developments or not? However i do believe that attempts like this to regulate new currencies that are entering het crypto market, may be a double edged sword as the approval factors takes away from the anonymity of crypto that makes it so attractive, but also provides a way for governments to regulate and have more confidence in crypto, increasing het likelihood of its acceptance in the future. What are your thoughts on this? Do you share the thoughts that i have? For more information on this bill, please check out the link below: https://www.coindesk.com/us-lawmakers-introduce-bill-that-would-require-stablecoin-issuers-to-obtain-bank-charters
  15. source: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-outpaces-bitcoin-developer-activity-2020-electric-capital-report As the very depressing Year 2020 is coming to a close, there should be now a number of year-end reports being published on various websites. One such report was made by a venture firm called Electric Capital where they stated that there are more developers joining Ethereum, the #2 ranked cryptocurrency, compared to Bitcoin, the current #1. The full report by Electric Capital can be seen on this separate article: https://medium.com/electric-capital/electric-capital-developer-report-2020-9417165c6444 DeFi has played a significant role in the compilation of the report, as we know of the hype surrounding it during recent months. Developers have sniffed an opportunity to earn huge, and they did so. The article also supports this notion to some degree. Ethereum is hogging the crypto developers. How does the other coins fare so far? According to the article, "Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polkadot, Tezos, Cardano and EOS" are the top ones on the report. If your favorite altcoin is not on that list, then the chance is high that it did not acquired as much developers as the listed ones. With such a lot of developers, it won't be a surprise then if there is a news published in the future where even more developers are building projects based on ETH 2.0. Meanwhile, Bitcoin projects may slow down as there are fewer developers that would want to focus more on it. What do you think? For more details, please read the linked articles above.
  16. One of the main reasons why crypto is so popular is the sense of anonymity and not having to share your personal information online in order to obtain and use these currencies. However, with time and in an effort to regulate the currency, the concept of kyc with crypto began where users were required to upload proof of identification in the form of legal documentation. The Netherlands seems to have gone even beyond that point, with one of their exchanges, known as Bitonic, stating that they will perform much more rigorous verification procedures. In fact, this verification goes as far as to ask for additional details about you and even asks what is the reason you are buying bitcoin and what type of wallet you are storing this bitcoin in. Do you think that this verification process is too much? There is even more actually. There is a verification process where the user has to screenshot their wallet to prove that they are the owner of that wallet. Due to the extensive legal requirements that are being implemented by the Dutch, there are many exchanges that have migrated out of the country and have moved their office exchanges to the European countries. Do you think that this will be a severe hinderance to crypto development in the Netherlands? In my opinion, these measures seem to be quite invasive and extreme and could deter people from using or even considering the investment into crypto. For more information, i refer you to the following online article/link: https://www.somagnews.com/dutch-requests-from-bitcoin-investors/
  17. Earlier this month i created a topic that highlighted the reason as to coinbase going down. The link to this article is as follows: When this initial problem happened it was promised by Coinbase that they would look into it so that there is no more future outages of this nature due to high traffic demands. However, it seems that this was not met, as there was another outage on Coinbase, spanning over both its website as well as its mobile application. Once again, the outage was caused by the same problem that caused the first one, an that is the recent surge in the number of transactions. However, this could be due to the AWS cloud provider, as there are other sites that are also experiencing issues of a similar nature. Nevertheless, this once again brings in the question of is coinbase reliable to use as a wallet and exchange platform? Whilst there are many that use it and rely on it, as we have seen recently the price of bitcoin dropped drastically in a matter of hours, and therefore if there are cases where exchanges and wallets go down for lengthy periods during this time, this could mean not being able to sell your crypto before the price drop, or not even being able to buy at the lower price, inevitably causing losses. Perhaps people will start to move away from coinbase in the future if such occurrences persist. I think it is in the best interest of coinbase at the moment to focus on rectifying this problem, to make sure that it never happens again.
  18. Hello my friends. We all know Coinbase is the sister arm of one of the biggest cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, the platform reported at the end of last week on the 26th of March that the success was due in part to the 8000 retailers currently using coinbase for payment services.

  19. Hello my friends. I have heard that crypto traders in Australia will be fined by the tax agency. It will contact all Australian traders to make sure they pay all the taxes related to their Crypto trading stuff.

  20. With time there seems to be more and more celebrities that are entering the crypto world and this is great for the investors in this currency as well, as the increased demand for the coins is what drives up the value of it. This makes it much more profitable for those that chose to invest a while back and are cashing in their profits at the moment. One of the latest celebrities to have joined the crypt world and the investment schemes, is the grammy nominated rapper 'Logic'. Logic communicated to his fan through the media of Instagram, stating that he had invested a total of $6 million into bitcoin. Since his investment into the currency last month, the value of bitcoin has risen by nearly 25%, which is a massive profit for the musician. In fact, the rapper has gone so far as to change his twitter handle to Bobby Bitcoin, showing his belief in the cryptocurrency. In my opinion, prominent figures like this are essential in promoting bitcoin and getting more and more exposure for bitcoin, as it is one of the major factors causing the drive in the bitcoin price lately. What do you guys think? Do you share my opinion? do you think that investments such as this is what is driving the bitcoin price higher and higher or do you feel that this is just a drop in the ocean compared to some of the other factors out there? Let me know your thoughts on this.
  21. There are numerous components that impact the cost of bitcoin, and indeed we have found in the past that minor changes to nations and their economies have brought about movements in the cost of bitcoin. As indicated by Jeff Dorman, in any case, the result of the US decisions that are set to occur very soon, won't affect the cost of bitcoin. Indeed, if his forecasts are anything to pass by, it appears to be that the cost of bitcoin will keep on ascending regardless of the political decision measure. As indicated by Dorman, the ongoing news about bitcoin and how it is spreading has halted a great deal of the apprehensions that speculators recently had into the crypto and that is the reason there are an ever increasing number of individuals that are eager to make the interest into bitcoin and drive the cost up too. Do you think this is valid? Do you imagine that the political race result will impact the cost of bitcoin? I imagine that it may, particularly since the result will likewise decide the acknowledgment of bitcoin and other crypto too.
  22. Unfortunate news from one of my favorite coin/project. VeChain's buyback wallet was compromised, Estimated $6.6M was stolen and transfer to a hackers wallet. Now this wallet was put into watchlist and already notified almost all major exchange to block all transaction coming from this wallet. More info: https://bitcoinist.com/vechain-loses-1m-coins-from-compromised-buyback-wallet/ https://cointelegraph.com/news/vechain-loses-11b-vet-tokens-to-hacker-in-attack-on-buyback-wallet
  23. Shortly after its founder, Gerald Cotten, has passed away due to complications from Crohn's disease, the cryptocurrency trading platform Quadriga CX he founded and operated has ceased operations. When the trading platform has shut down, many frustrated clients have attributed the inaccessibility of Cotten's cold wallet, supposedly containing the cryptocurrencies they have deposited and transacted with, to its closure. But the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has begged to differ otherwise. They have found in their investigation that the owner of the trading platform has been involved in a Ponzi scheme that stemmed from a shortfall in assets available to client withdrawals when the price of cryptocurrencies changed that probably happened after the 2017 Bitcoin bullrun bubble burst. Everything must have gone downhill from that point on until his death. He has also been accused of channeling funds from clients to support his lavish lifestyle. More on there articles: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/osc-quadriga-gerald-cotten-1.5607990 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/canadian-cryptocurrency-firm-collapsed-due-to-ponzi-scheme-by-late-founder-regulator-says/ar-BB15mkL9 This news will really sadden the clients who have invested in this platform and have yet to recover their lost funds, since if proven beyond reasonable doubt, the chances for them to take their funds back becomes even slimmer.
  24. We all (or at least some of us) know that Bitcoin's 2020 halving is drawing closer. This has prompted most investors to hodl Bitcoins now for the expected bullrun and reap huge profits. After reading this article and seeing the figures, I am now fully convinced that a bullrun is indeed inevitable. Here are the articles and the links. source: https://bitcoinnews.com/over-10-million-bitcoins-are-being-hodled/ source: https://www.coindesk.com/10m-bitcoins-havent-moved-in-more-than-a-year-highest-since-2017 Maybe it would be easier now to predict how high the Bitcoin to Dollar exchange rate would be 😉 . And not to mention that the whales are definitely waiting in anticipation. And how about the altcoins? Will their prices be affected significantly by Bitcoin? What are your thoughts on the matter? And have you prepared yourselves for the charging bull? Please share your thoughts.
  25. Hello. As we all know, Corona Virus have almost taken over the world and we all saw the negative effect of this disease on the Crypto market and the prices of Crypto currencies. One of its impacts on the Crypto world is that the upcoming TEAMZ BLOCKCHAIN SUMMIT and Tokyo Blockchain Week have been rescheduled to a later date due to this virus. Source
