  • Crypto is at Risk In Korea!

    Crypto is at Risk In Korea!

    1 min read

    Crypto is at risk in Korea.

    What excited the audience most is the information that one of an employee of Bitkoex, an exchange launched in May, posted information on how much of the Karma (KRM) cryptocurrency was held by 19 users on the platform in a social media chat last Friday.

    The leaked message contained the email addresses associated with the users as well as the wallet addresses and private keys to the KRM token in their accounts. This could allow anyone with the information to access the assets, according to a report from CoinDesk Korea.

    Those users hold  750 million won, or around $620,000, the report said.

    Later, Bitkoex said the employee posted the message by accident and the exchange has moved the exposed assets to a cold wallet. That means that information about them is not accessible through the internet. The company claimed no assets have been lost. This is not the first time that user information had been leaked from a Korean crypto exchange.

    CoinDesk, previously reported, the computer of an employee from Bithumb, was hacked earlier last year.

    On Monday, June 25th, the country’s Ministry of Science and ICT inspected the information security level of 21 crypto exchanges in South Korea from January to March and confirmed that most companies have security vulnerabilities.

    Just last week, Bithumb said, that around $31 million in cryptocurrency was stolen by hackers from the platform. 

    But, it is obvious, that is not the reason why Crypto is at risk in Korea.

    Update 5/30/2019

    South Korea’s major currency exchange Bithumb has properly started an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk under the Ortus brand, according to a press release published on Feb. 7 this year.

    Moreover, South Korea is a hotspot for cryptocurrencies.

    A survey announced on April 20 by the Korea Financial Investment Association reveals that the ordinary cryptocurrency trader in that country has grown their crypto holdings by 64.2% in the last year.

    Bitcoin is not dead

    1 min read

    Is Bitcoin dead? OK, who wanted to say that Bitcoin is dead?

    I can’t hear you! Speak louder, please! 🙂 

    This the most popular crypto will last forever.

    Today’s Bitcoin price is $6,150! More than for the weekend. And I think like many other professionals, it will be higher and higher.

    This is gonna sound crazy, but …

    In the next few days, the $6150, will be an important level to observe, and if the bitcoin price can surpass beyond that point, it is possible that the cryptocurrency initiates a strong short-term recovery and enter the July with large gains.

    The trading volume has to increase first, and the transaction volume of bitcoin will increase, and then as user activity surges, the bitcoin price will follow.

    So, is Bitcoin dead?

    Do you think that’s weird? No, it isn’t! That’s how markets do.

    I that case, what Tim Draper said can have sense. Ok, maybe one Bitcoin will never be quarter million US dollars, but close to that value…for sure.

    Well, I know several people who would say that crypto markets are so bad that they decided to stop showing ads for ICOs.

    Well, guys, you are totally wrong!

    You have to know one important fact: Bitcoin had 4 crisis so-called bubbles so far.

    The first was July 2010, when he jumped from $ 0.008 to $ 0.08.

    The other was the “Big Bubble 2011”, from $ 0.06 to $ 31, then dropped to $ 5.

    The third was in April 2013, from $ 20 to $ 280, when Cypriot banks rescued floating client deposits.

    The fourth was a major crisis of the MtGox Stock Exchange in November 2013 when it jumped from $ 70 to $ 1,200, and a few months later it fell to $ 200.

    Bitcoin is not dead
    What I want to say, Bitcoin is very experienced. Don’t worry about it.

    Ups and downs, that is the journey of experience.
    Like life is.

    And c’ mon man, don’t tell me you never have ups and downs and that fiat doesn’t have them at all.

    And c’ mon man, don’t tell me you never have ups and downs and that fiat doesn’t have them at all.

  • Is This Bitcoin’s Bottom?

    Is This Bitcoin’s Bottom?

    1 min read

    The Bitcoin price has dropped below the $6,000  after initially below the $6,000 on June 23. Bitcoin officially fell to the lowest level from the beginning of this year. This drop is almost identical to the 2014 situation when BTC experienced an 80% correction from its all-time high.

    In fact, there are almost no differences, as both collapses are caused by the same cause by the eruption of a retail investor bubble. On the end of May and from the beginning of June, it seemed that the crypto market is recovered. The market was, for almost two weeks, stable.

    Bitcoin price charts are an electrocardiogram

    In today’s article Bitcoin falls below $6,000. But crypto trader says it’s not dead, Kellie Ell CNBC’s author, with reference to Brian Kelly, founder, and CEO of BKCM LLC, an investment firm focused on digital currencies, write:

    ”Bitcoin fell below $6,000 on Friday, but bitcoin bull Brian Kelly told CNBC that the popular cryptocurrency is “not dead.”

    While Kelly said the drop is “painful,” he also said it’s not unusual.

    “This is not the funeral for bitcoin whatsoever,” Brian Kelly, founder, and CEO of BKCM LLC, an investment firm focused on digital currencies, said on “Fast Money” Friday.

    Let’s put this in perspective,” he said.

    “Do you know where we were a year ago? $2,500.”

    How To Make Money With Blockchain Technology?

    This morning value of Bitcoin was $5, 852 which is the lowest price from the beginning of the year. Now, at 4 PM CET, it is $5,927. Will, it hit quarter-million dollars. as Tim Draper said several days ago?

    For sure we have to wait. The truth is that the Bitcoin price is very unstable, with big and fast ups and downs. For some crypto fans, it is the true charm of Bitcoin. For ordinary people, buying Bitcoin is madness.

    I’m sure we have to wait until 2022. It will be fun to see opponents how they are sad for not buying Bitcoin earlier when the Bitcoin price was much lower.


  • Ethereum is not security said SEC

    Ethereum is not security said SEC

    Securities and Exchange Commission final words

    3 min read

    Ethereum, the world’s second most valuable cryptocurrency has been boosted by a major ruling by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which declared that ethereum is not a security.

    The announcement by SEC director of corporate finance, William Hinman, caused the price of ethereum to rise by 10 percent, bucking a recent downward trend of other major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. The director said that the institution won’t treat ETH as a security, and it doesn’t see value in regulating it.

    Experts say SEC decision is generally positive.

    At a Yahoo Finance Crypto summit, Hinman described ethereum as ”sufficiently decentralized,” meaning no central authority could manipulate in an unfair way to gain a financial advantage.

    ”As a network becomes truly decentralized, the ability to identify an issuer or promoter to make the requisite disclosures becomes difficult, and less meaningful,” Hinman said. ”Putting aside the fundraising that accompanied the creation of Ether, based on my understanding of the present state of Ether, the Ethereum network and its decentralized structure, current offers and sales of Ether are not securities transactions.”

    Investor contracts that involve Bitcoin may be classed as a security if they meet certain criteria or offer a future increase in value, according to Hinman.

    Experts said the decision was generally positive for the industry and could lead to more positive regulation for other alternative digital currencies.

    ”This is the latest in a series of events which demonstrate how cryptos are pervading mainstream thinking,” Iqbal Gandham, UK managing director of the trading platform eToro, told The Independent. ”We know that institutional investors are waiting for regulatory clarity to move from the sidelines to the center of the playing field. Remarks like this suggest it might not be long to wait until we get there.”

    Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 mins to learn more.

    Oliver Isaacs, a blockchain investor, and adviser added: ”I think the news is certainly positive and the markets have reacted accordingly – Hinman’s speech is essentially saying that even if something is issued as a security, it can over time morph into something that isn’t.”

    Regulators discussion

    Regulators debated for several weeks on whether the world’s second-largest digital currency, by market capitalization, should be considered equity, and the key point from the ruling is that US securities laws will not apply to Ethereum as a tradable commodity because of its decentralization.

    SEC chief Jay Clayton previously put crypto investors on edge when he stated, back in April, that “every ICO I’ve seen is a security.” Bitcoin was the exception said Clayton, adding that he did not consider the virtual currency equity. This latest ruling though would seem to overturn this blanket sentiment and give a long-needed boost to crypto-currencies.
    ethereum is not a securityEthereum bounced higher by 15%, back above the key $500 level, as it continues to be in a relatively technical position compared to Bitcoin. Ethereum is different from Bitcoin in that it is an open-source decentralized application (dApp) platform rather than a straight out currency or store of value. At the same moment, EOS is still in the strongest position form a technical standpoint among the majors, while Ripple and IOTA are also on long-term buy signals, holding up relatively well in the bearish environment. EOS bounced off the $9 support and rallied above $11, with the key $12 level now ahead as resistance.

    The weakest major are still trading below vital support levels, and the next period will be crucial as bulls and bears battle for long-term control.

    Traders shouldn’t enter new positions here, it remains well above the April lows, in a clear long-term uptrend. Ethereum and crypto markets are still bearish and in decline from their all-time highs after the end of the last year. There are many hoping that they are approaching the bottom.

    Stay tuned for our detailed long-term technical analysis, we’ll be back soon.

    This Is Miraculous World

    Miraculous world but something was rotting on this planet!

    Why I am saying this?

    Two of the richest men in the world spent the day after day calling Bitcoin “rat poison,” “turds,” and “harvested baby brains.” Big investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger said these words trashing Bitcoin.

    I still can’t recover from shock because of the Munger’s words!

    C’mon man, “harvested baby brains?” That is really weird.

    These two investors belong to old school and I usually squeeze a sarcastic smile on such words.

    Also, I could say that two old men yell at Bitcoin.

    But what pushed me up to mention them? The two of them, as well as most other investors who have gained wealth and manage large amounts of money, are aware that the New Age is coming and they realize their life’s work is in danger if Bitcoin succeeds. The true miraculous world is coming.

    But let’s just ignore the vocabulary for a moment. What did they try to say to us? Finally, what did they say?
    First of all, we don’t have any hope. That we did not deserve to hope and that real money belongs only to rich people. Yeah right! They are not stupid people, they recognize the philosophy of Bitcoin. They know it’s like a Social Contract, that accounting belongs to everyone owning Bitcoin. Nothing is hidden and it is available to everyone at any time.

    Fiat maximalists are hilarious. I can’t lol this because I recognize that evil intention to keep the world’s wealth in the hands of several people.

    They aren’t stupid, they own: miraculous world is coming
    17.8% of American Express
    13.1% of Moody’s Corporation
     9.5% of Wells Fargo
     6.7% of Bank of America
    6.1% of Bank of NY Mellon Corp
     5.3% of US Bancorp
    Six of Berkshire Hathaway’s ten largest holdings are in legacy financial companies.

     

     

     

     

     

    Further, they are intentionally trying to create FUD just to test the health of the crypto market before big money skyrockets BTC passed 10K.

    Let me be clear.
    I respect them for what they are but they should not hammer thing they do not understand. Their argument would have been far better received if they had used less juvenile insults. Unfortunate that such smart and successful folks disregard as childish (considering the language), the incredible technology that underpins Bitcoin and which empowers folks less fortunate to participate in a new order of exchange.

    What can I say?

    Old rich people are scared as hell!

    And they have 92 Billion reasons why. Bitcoin is threatening their vested interest like never before.

    And they sound like still use Nokia and have no idea about technology, don’t you think?

    But one thing is important.

    Bitcoin survived a battle with the titans of Wall Street! What does that mean for us who believe in the future of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? More and more people realize that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a direct and heavy threat to the “rich guy club” known as fiat banking. And that is marvelous!

    On the end only we can say is: step back, this world belongs to all of us!

  • First Time In India – Trading In Bitcoin

    First Time In India – Trading In Bitcoin

    3 min read

    Bitcoin was popular in India before it came there. Then it became the most popular crypto in India.

    But the Indian current  Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley referring to the country’s budget for 2018-2019 in February this year, touched on crypto-themes and their usage in the country. More precisely, he said that “the government does not consider the cryptos of a legal and legal means of payment” and that legislators will take “all measures” to eliminate their use in criminal and illegitimate activities.

    Media in India reported:

    A prominent presenter on the main television channel, which watches over tens of millions of viewers, said: “Bitcoin will be banned. Criminals are illegal in India”, says Arun Jaitley on his Twitter account, which has more than a million followers.

    Indian Reuters released a dramatic title “India promises to ban crypts,” pointing to “banning virtual currencies like bitcoins” by the Indian authorities.

    This example was followed by the world’s media.

    Contrary to the global media coverage of the Indian authorities and the alleged ban on bitcoins and other cryptos, India does not even prohibit cryptos or their trading on stock markets.

    In an interview with the Indian state broadcaster Doordarshan after his presentation of the state budget, Jaitley was asked whether the government decided to prohibit cryptos, and he said: “We do not encourage people to use them at the moment.

    There is a government commission that is considering this issue and it will announce its decisions and next steps after the problem are considered.”

    There is no ban on bitcoin, we repeat, there is no ban! The fact is that there are no prohibitions.

    In India, there are at least 15 bitcoin exchange forums, with the majority being set up over the past two years.

    For the bitcoin industry in India, the job continues without major earthquakes. Sathvik Vishvanath, Executive Director of Unocoin, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges in India, said:

    “We did not notice any change in the attitude of the government. We are pleased that the authorities are taking action against the unauthorized use of cryptos, but there is no reason for any panic. The bitcoin business continues with the usual flow in Unocoin.”

    In Zebpay, which is another leading bitcoin exchange, they say: “When a significant platform such as the Union budget mentions cryptos, this means that this topic has matured and is seriously discussed. We welcome this positive development and see it as an important milestone on the road to clear policy and consumer education.”

    The Indian Bitcoin industry and community are still substantially smaller compared to other countries in the Southeast Asia region. By hosting various Bitcoin-related events such as Blockchain Hackathons, Bitcoin could really explode in the economy of India.

    India has a strictly regulated finance and banking sector

    India has a tightly regulated finance and banking sector, so it is important to stress that bitcoin is not evil.

    Indian Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley in his 5th and last full year budget before the general election, to be held in 2019, cleared up the government’s intentions regarding Bitcoin.

    In India, bitcoins have been trading at more than Rs 10 lakh each, while people are investing amounts ranging from Rs 3,000 to several lakhs of rupees to buy bitcoins.

    It’s not absolutely safe but the exchanges that are working in India are working according to government norms, following the same banking procedures as banks.

    If government bans the crypto you will not lose the money in any situation.

    Though RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has been issuing warnings asking investors to be cautious while dealing with cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin), there has been no clear communication about Bitcoin trading being illegal.

    You would like to read: Indian stock market is worthy to invest

    On the contrary, recently the IT department has indicated that profits from crypto trading will be taxable under the IT laws, and also conducted surveys (not raids) on the major crypto exchanges across India to verify if there were any tax evasion cases.

    Further, if the Indian government wanted to ban cryptos, it would have done so long ago. Instead, the government took a wait and see approach, so India as an economy does not lose out on the opportunities arising from the cryptocurrency rally.

    Bitcoin trading in India became popular

    Many people in India have started buying and selling cryptocurrencies, a digital currency where encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units and verify the transfer of funds. These operate independently of a central bank. India has over one million Bitcoin users; the country accounts for almost 10 percent of the volume of trades in the world, according to some sources. Per a recent report by PHDCCI, combined trading volume in India could be in the range of Rs 200-250 crore per month.

    In India, if we talk about Bitcoins, there is a no such law which prohibits the bitcoin mining and use of various cryptocurrencies in an easy and secure way. For many years bitcoin is already in use in India. Once mining is done one can easily send and receive bitcoins through a wallet without any third party involvement.

     

    And more, you can buy Bitcoin online in India using bank transfer, debit card or internet banking. India has quite a few exchanges where you can buy and sell Bitcoin. Speaking honestly, bitcoins used to not be easily available in India and Indians can’t register or buy from the major exchanges like Coinbase hence there used to be a 7-12% markup on all the exchanges. But there are many other exchange platforms in India like Zebpay, Coinsecure, Unocoin or Koinex. Also, you can use a site called Bitcoin rates to compare the prices across the Indian exchanges above when you are buying or selling Bitcoin.

    How to trade in Indian stock market and win in the markets?

    In India, is a popular and direct purchase.

    What does it mean? Instead of buying from an exchange you can buy Bitcoin in India from someone else and pay them directly. The main factor when it comes to buying bitcoin this way is the issue of trust.

    If you are buying Bitcoin from your friend who already has them, it wouldn’t be that big of an issue, but take extreme care if you are buying from an individual especially over the internet. The seller will demand the payment first and you would ask for the transfer of Bitcoin. Services like escrow could be useful here.

    And how you buy bitcoins in India, I would like to read your comment.
