| PSA: FacebookCoin and similar currencies are not "cryptocurrencies" and don't refer to them as such. Posted: 02 May 2019 07:01 PM PDT With mass adoption likely coming in the next few years, what we do and what we say will shape how newcomers see cryptocurrencies. Because of this, it is important that we distinguish between decentralised, permissionless blockchain currencies and controlled, censorable currencies. If we refer to the centralised currencies as digital currencies and decentralised currencies as cryptocurrencies and help the public to understand the difference between such currencies even if only at a basic level, then we might just see the masses adopt real cryptocurrencies over a controlled, centralised, dystopian currency like Facebook coin or government issued currencies will likely be. I realise that some currencies such as JPMCoin will likely operate on Ethereum or a private fork of Ethereum, but if the company has any more control over it as it has over Bitcoin or Ether then as far as I'm concerned it's centralised. Also, some of you will argue things like "Ripple or EOS are centralised". While sure, they may be more centralised than Bitcoin or Ethereum, I can almost guarantee that they will be more decentralised than any digital currency released by a company such as Facebook. For the sake of unity and simplicity, it's fair to assume that almost all projects currently in the crypto space in decentralised. TL:DR: We should refer to decentralised currencies as "cryptocurrencies" and centralised currencies as digital currencies, it will help the general public understand that bitcoin and other cryptos are different from currencies operated by companies and governments.

| In 2018, Copytrack raised $11 million in an ICO only to abandon their token holders Posted: 02 May 2019 05:59 PM PDT I've done a little research on this, and felt like sharing because a little more into embracing transparency and good practices is needed in crypto, isn't it? Anyway, in the middle of the crypto boom, a friend of mine insisted we invest in this ICO, Copytrack. The ERC-20 CPY tokens were valued at 1.2 USD, although I remember them having different bonus tiers and price brackets... I remember this opened trading at a huge loss, and I just took it. Mind you, it wasn't too much money but nobody likes losing it. Anyway, this token is trading a year later in one major exchange, HitBTC, for 0.02 USD (98% drop from ICO) and 2 USD of trading volume. Currently, the company who did the ICO shows no association with Blockchain whatsoever and mentions of the CPY tokens are nowhere to be found in their site. It looks like a regular startup https://www.copytrack.com Their Github is an absolute joke https://github.com/copytrackio You can see on their Twitter that apparently they are doing fine, even showing that they employ a fair amount of people https://twitter.com/COPYTRACK/status/1122781330654339072 Researching a little bit, apparently they created a branch company named Concensum which is the one associated now with the CPY tokens... But they haven't done any decent progress as you can see on their outdated roadmap https://concensum.org/en/about and also their Coinmarketcap and Etherscan pages shows the old data https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/copytrack/ & https://etherscan.io/token/0xf44745fbd41f6a1ba151df190db0564c5fcc4410 The original team members of Copytrack are still there https://www.copytrack.com/about-us/ and they were the same people raising funds in the ICO https://icodrops.com/copytrack/ Anyway, just your regular ICO grab that without the wild wild west of the crypto world wouldn't have achieved any funding. Let's say they did a soft scam. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Top 30 Coins by Wash Trading Volume Posted: 03 May 2019 02:10 AM PDT Interesting to note that more than half the volume for all top 10 coins (except BMB) is fake. Only four coins in the top 30 have less than 25% fake volume.

| Posted: 02 May 2019 09:04 PM PDT I have been out of the game a while and wanted to gather up all my crypto and consolidate. Now everything has a KYC thing and idk if it is worth the time and struggle to pull out $50 worth of crypto from 4 or 5 places. What happened and where can I go to not feel like I am getting scammed?

| Can someone explain this 'action' to me? Posted: 02 May 2019 06:11 PM PDT So I'm currently watching the BTC/USDT being traded on Binance. The price has broken out a few times, testing $5500, $5510 and the increments up to where it is currently ($5530~) At each level when the price was moving upwards quickly, I keep seeing (what I assume is one seller) is that a wall of 902, to 678 BTC keeps popping up and being removed every 5 or so seconds, at various price points, typically pushing down the upwards momentum. It also looks like whenever this wall goes up, none of it is really eaten in to and the price is held (or lowered) successfully at this price. I'm assuming this massive 'spike' /giant wall appearing all of a sudden, is messing with algorithmic trading (bots), but I am assuming it is a real person 'flashing' on and off with these massive sell walls. Anyone know this sort of strategy? Simple price manipulation to suppress it going too high by virtue of owning massive amounts of BTC? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 May 2019 02:47 AM PDT Cryptos were built to escape from centralized money creation. Stable coins are exactly the opposite of cryptos : allowing a few shady hands to create/print extremely valuable tokens. What could go wrong? Everything! A lot of posters here try to guess whether it is a scam or not, whether stable coins are backed or not, whether they are printed out of thin air or not. Look no further, here is the answer : When a small group of unknown people manages a huge amount of money (billions of USD) without any code rules nor legal constraints it NEVER ends well. Never. That's why a truly decentralized blockchain is mandatory in the crypto market. Everything else has no value. Call it a startup, or offshore company, or ponzi scheme or whatever you want, but don't make the mistake to treat it as a cryptocurrency. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 May 2019 04:24 AM PDT Reports suggest that hackers were able to breach Microsoft Outlook, allowing them to utilize the email service in stealing funds from crypto users. The exploiters were reportedly successful in gaining entry to the accounts of customer support employees from Microsoft. From there, they managed to obtain access to non-corporate email accounts, including the likes of MSN and Hotmail. Microsoft Outlook Hackers Reportedly Stole Cryptos - ChainBits Microsoft: Hackers compromised support agent's credentials to access customer email accounts - TechCrunch tl;drMicrosoft has confirmed to TechCrunch that a certain "limited" number of people who use web email services managed by Microsoft — which cover services like @msn.com and @hotmail.com — had their accounts compromised. "We addressed this scheme, which affected a limited subset of consumer accounts, by disabling the compromised credentials and blocking the perpetrators' access," said a Microsoft spokesperson in an email. According to an email Microsoft has sent out to affected users (the reader who tipped us off got his late Friday evening), malicious hackers were potentially able to access an affected user's e-mail address, folder names, the subject lines of e-mails, and the names of other e-mail addresses the user communicates with — "but not the content of any e-mails or attachments," nor — it seems — login credentials like passwords. Microsoft is still recommending that affected users change their passwords regardless. The breach occurred between January 1 and March 28, Microsoft's letter to users said. [link] [comments]  | ||
