    A day in the life of a Community Manager — the 72 hour work day.

    After a CFPB complaint, and 3 months of waiting, Coinbase still has NOT returned my $10,000 wire reversal.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 03:38 PM PDT

    I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous.

    I made a wire transfer to Coinbase on December 27, and they said it was declined due to a name mismatch, and that they will be returning this wire back to my bank within 7 business days. After 7 business days, I sent them an email, and they stated that they were dealing with higher than average requests time, and that they needed more information about the wire (reference #, IMAD #, full name, etc.). I quickly reply to that email providing all the information necessary. This was on January the 9th.

    On January 15th, they replied stating that they recently experienced delays with wires due to high volume and the additional manual processing that they require, and that all delayed wires from their backlog have been processed; and that I should receive my funds within the next 2 business days.

    I sent them another email on January 17th about the status of my wire, and I have yet to receive a response.

    Update: I made a post about this on r/CryptoCurrency/ on January 22nd, and it received a lot of support. Thank you. From there, I opened a CFPB complaint on January 30th.

    On the day of the 14 day deadline, I received an automated response from Coinbase saying that they are looking into this, and that they are receiving higher than average requests times. I can't believe it. The same excuse used not once, twice, but three times. Unbelievable. I also made a post about this in r/coinbase, but nothing has made the situation better.

    On March 3rd, I received an email from coinbase support saying that they were again experiencing high volume support requests, and are trying to get through them as fast as they can. Fourth time. Frustrated, I replied to that email about my situation. FINALLY on March 13th, I received a proper response from 'Darren' at coinbase. He requested that he needed more information about the wire (date, name, IMAD #, transfer amount, etc.) I already submitted this information back in January. Ridiculous. I replied to that email with the information, and I still have not received a follow up response.

    Now today, (March 16), after 2 months of waiting for a CFPB response, I received a response from Coinbase saying that they could not authenticate my account with the information provided, and I needed to write with the email address associated with the coinbase account. They then closed the complaint. I understand the wire reversal involves 2 parties because there was a name mismatch, however, I CLEARLY added the additional parties' info (email address, name, etc.) in the CFPB complaint.

    So now I have to wait another 2 months by re-opening another complaint with the other parties' email address? This is beyond ridiculous. Coinbase is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, company. I don't know what to say or do.

    G20 Summit: World leaders will discuss cryptocurrencies. This is what to expect.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 11:11 PM PDT

    G20 summit on March 20th

    Discussison on cryptocurrencies Representatives will give a common response on regulation.

    This document indicates that the discussions will revolve around the implications of crypto and the potential applications of its technology.

    IMPORTANT What this means for crypto.

    • I reckon any good news will cause a brief swing in the market
    • I strongly believe that any negative news will further solidify that the bear market is here for a while longer.

    Below are details of the public document (read if ya want)

    1. "The issue is an important item on the meeting agenda; delegates will consider a common response that would mitigate the risks without discouraging innovation," it argues.

    2. The document notes that blockchain "has the potential to promote financial inclusion." However, it goes on to argue that "it is important to analyze its implications to financial stability, tax evasion and financial illegal activities."

    I'll be up on the 20th watching live crypto updates of the G20 Summit this crypto group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/116014865776792/

    G20 expert advisor for Blockchain technology is Julie Maupin from the IOTA Foundation

    Posted: 17 Mar 2018 02:44 AM PDT

    It is interesting to see who Julie Maupin is advising:

    https://blog.iota.org/welcome-julie-maupin-to-iota-14b9ac92478f

     

    "Julie currently sits on the Fintech advisory board of the German Ministry of Finance and the G20 Digital Economy Experts Task Force and is a resource person for the UN Internet Governance Forum. In addition to her appointment at Max Planck, she holds external research appointments with the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies. She has recently been advising IOTA on the incorporation and governance set-up of the foundation and is actively helping to develop projects to be carried out by the social venture fund."

     

    In a recent interview for a german newspaper Maupin said that the new technology needs clever regulations for states, so they do not lose on tax. She says also that anonymous technology like XMR (Ring CT) and Zcash is on the one side needed to protect the privacy, on the other side it could be used for criminal activity. Balance is needed. She says there is a lot of work ahead to find if possible some unified form of regulations, in Europe and Germany the opinion right now is not to overdo it in order to not slow down innovation. Russia thinks about a special 13% tax for crypto from people who cannot show where their coins come from (risk of money laundering). Interesting stuff.

    But yes Crypto is there to stay.

    This Is Why The Next Bull Run Can Start The 14th Of May

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 05:18 AM PDT

    There is a lot of chatter about 'the holy grail' of the next Bull Run. A lot of people are discussing and speculating when, and if, it will start. We have found a very plausible date that can bring a lot of positive sentiment, and so money, to the market.

    From the 14th of may till the 16th of may, Coindesk is hosting the Consensus event with over 4.500 attendees. And the attendees are not the retail-investors, but big companies like accountancy firms such as KPMG, EY, PWC, banks such as ABN AMRO, Citi and Scotiabank, huge companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Siemens and Procter & Gamble and huge investors such as CME Ventures. You probably think, what will drive the price to new heights? This event is all about blockchain, and so, cryptocurrencies. The consensus event gives start-ups the opportunity to meet with the big players in the world. Big players that can turn the sentiment all green.

    But there is more. The Consensus event is co-hosted with New York City Economic Development Corporation. The goal is to make New York City the capital for blockchain. This is what Anthony Hogrebe, the Senior VP stated:

    ´'Anthony Hogrebe, senior vice president at NYCEDC, wants to see more crypto in New York. "The goal is really to plant that flag and send a very clear message that we want to work with you, want to support you, and we ultimately want NYC to be the global capital for blockchain," he says. "We think there's already a tremendous presence here in New York, but it's also a nascent community. If we don't plant a flag and make strategic investments, New York could lose that critical mass."

    The Consensus event is a huge influencer to the market. Last years event resulted in 26% gain for the total marketcap and triggered the June bull-run. In 2016 the market gained with a small 2,7%. The biggest difference? In 2016 the market was very small (only 8 billion USD dollars), and there were only 1.500 attendees. In 2017 there were 2000 attendees (+33%) and the market was more accessible for everyone. 2018s event will have 4.500 attendees (+125%) in a very accessible market with a lot of people knowing about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. As we combine all these information, a total market gain of over 50% is plausible. This event can trigger the next big bull-run for cryptocurrencies.

    We are still in a very small market, but as governments are regulating, more and more people get more trust in cryptocurrencies. The next bull-run is really just a matter of time. This event is going to trigger new money. 250 all star speakers, huge companies and 4.500 attendees that are willing to pay 1750USD dollars (excluding hotel and other costs) to attend an event are really good signs of trust in the market space.

    You are still not convinced? Please go to https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/ and look for the 28th of November 2017. It was the date that the biggest bull-run in the history of cryptocurrency started. So, what? You most probably think... It was the date the Consensus:Invest event was hosted, where hundreds of investors were part of the investor outlook. It was an event that brought so much positive sentiment into the market and triggered the massive bull-run.

    Besides this huge event, over the last weeks we see some interesting topics regarding governments. As governments realize that blockchain is the next big-thing, they also realize that the have to do something with the huge possibilities of the sector. The sector will bring so much employment opportunities, and governments know it. All ´scary' headlines are only to protector investors that do not do proper research, but governments don't want to kill this technology. In fact, they all want to be the place-to-be for blockchain startups. Do not let fool yourself! A lot of people are scarred to invest waiting for governments move, so if that move is positive (and it will be) new money will float in.

    The time of negative sentiment is almost over and before you know it, everything turns green. Again. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

    In the coming weeks we will share which tokens are definitly going to profit from the next wave of money. If you are smart, you invest soon. You really do not want to miss this boat.

    Invest when there is blood on the streets.
