Great blog post by the Finnish digital assets exchange Coinmotion, if you are interested in decentralization, steer away from Ripple/Xrp.
As @APompliano famously would say: “Long Bitcoin!”, and short centralized banks (including JPMorganCoin, Xrp Ripple, and everything similar!)
Pushing for Bitcoin adoption, 1 email, 1 feedback form, 1 contact information at a time.
Was trying to book a flight on AirAsia and 1 card was denied, 2nd card denied, 3rd card denied, finally a 4th card was accepted. I also tried paying directly through local Asian banks, but the bank I have account with is not one of the 8 banks allowed. VERY frustrating!
Only Bitcoin! 🙂

Proof of keys! Not your private keys, not your Bitcoin! Remember this everyone! If you are storing your crypto, you really should be storing them on crypto cold storage wallets!

For years I have promoted the HitBTC crypto exchange from my sites or even to friends of mine that were interested in trading crypto. Also have always defended HitBTC when anyone spoke against it, since I always had a nice experience using HitBTC, UNTIL last year when I noticed all of my HitBTC affiliate earnings had vanished!
I have been back and forth with HitBTC support team for over a year and now I finally decide to create a blog post about this, to let the public know. (I saved all these support tickets and plan to post some screenshots soon)
HitBTC reps have been saying every time that “the new affiliate program is coming soon and your funds are safe”, I tried to be patient, but I am pretty confident now that it was all a lie.
I will continuously call them out as being a scam until my affiliate earnings balance is paid. (safe to assume they’ll be keeping all future earnings from the trading fees of my referred users).
After my recent round-the-world trip, I get home to see this in my email account:

WTF is this Gemini?!
On October 6th, 2018 Bittrex announced they’ll be delisting Bitshares, Bitcoin Gold, & Bitcoin Private.
As a valued Bittrex customer, we wanted to inform you that on November 5, 2018, we are retiring wallets that do not have markets, including Bitshares (BTS), Bitcoin Gold (BTG), and Bitcoin Private (BTCP). Our records indicate that you have a balance for at least one of the wallets being retired.
To keep your BTS, BTG or BTCP assets, you must withdraw your balance before Monday, November 5, 2018. After this date, your assets will be unrecoverable.
Wallet removals are a routine part of our ongoing platform management for performance and operational efficiency. For additional information read the related support article at: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001391586
… I just found this email today in my spambox, so I contacted Bittrex support to ask how I can withdraw my coins, they said: “there is nothing more the support team can do to recover these coins”.
exchanges, exchanges! Another reason why you should not store coins on exchanges!
This cancerous community of Bitcoin Cash, bcashers, have been a thorn in cryptos side for over a year. Making false claims, lies, and intentional misguidance. Karma is showing through today, as you can see Bitcoin Cash is -40% and still falling. As of right now, there is no more BCH, only a couple of new altcoins BCHABC/BAB or BCHSV/BSV and a community that has done nothing but drag down the crypto space since August 1st, 2017.
No pity given, you try to become Bitcoin, you try to lie and cheat noobs, you want to go the cheap/easy route to get your hands on anything with “bitcoin” in the name, this is what happens.
Bitcoin Cash = altcoin
Roger Ver = liar & scammer
Craig Wright = liar & scammer
Ryan X Charles = liar & scammer
etc etc
Fractional Reserve Banking, opinion by Godfrey Bloom
Bitfinex crypto exchange is so active in adding trading for coins that most of us in crypto space have never heard of. So far in November 2018 they’ve added: On.Live (ONL), Internet Node Token, Omni, DragonChain, Kleros, Digibyte, Wollo, and even supported the Bitcoin Cash to BitcoinABC/BitcoinSV fork, buy my question to Bitfinex is this: “how can you add any shitcoin known to man, yet you still have not added a top 10 cap crypto Cardano (ADA)?”.
An old Tweet by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says:
“We’d love to be on Bitfinex”
I am waiting on response to Bitfinex about this. Until then, what are your theories on this? Email me.
