Why mixers? Recently a man was deceived by someone who had change the electrum source code on an old version of it. He lost 1400BTC(!) I had made a similar question in the past, but the answer didn't satisfy me. Why should that hacker use a mixer? If he try to sell the bitcoins from his main address (the one with the 1400BTC) he will get caught, because he will prove that he is the hacker. If he send 1BTC to 1400 owned addresses, though, no one can prove that the person that owns those 1400 addresses is the hacker, right? They can only ask them where did you get that one bitcoin.

49 US States has laid out a unified regulatory requirements for cryptocurrencies 49 US States has laid out a unified regulatory requirements for crypto Quote The Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) announced today the launch of a state-initiated program whereby nationwide payments firms will undergo a single comprehensive exam to satisfy all state regulatory requirements. Known as MSB Networked Supervision, the initiative will apply to 78 of the nations largest payments and cryptocurrency companies that combined move more than $1 trillion a year in customer funds. Building on years of multistate coordination, this exam protocol will enable states to fine tune a risk-based approach to each companys operations. When compliance issues arise, the states will be better positioned to follow up throughout the year. The single exam will be led by one state overseeing a group of examiners sourced from across the country. By relying on experts across the state system  including in cyber security and anti-money laundering  regulators will gain more insight while also freeing up state resources. https://www.csbs.org/regulators-announce-one-company-one-exam-for-payments-companies What are your thoughts on this "MSB Networked Supervision"? Will it bring images to crypto or it's just one way to tighten things up again and track everything?

Deadliest Bitcoin hack in history The most devastating cryptocurrency hack in history was the 92 billion Bitcoin that was created from out of thin air. This hack was as a result of security flaw that was found and exploited by the anonymous hacker.

Market Analysis July BTC Market Analysis Author: nicolas tang Date: August 4, 2020 After roughly 2 months of price consolidation following its rapid recovery from Black Thursday (March 12th), Bitcoin broke out of its range following an extended period of muted volatility. Currently sitting at around $11,300 at the time of writing, BTC punctured through its high time frame (HTF) resistance at $10,200 with conviction, pushing up to $11,500  a price level not seen since August 2019. Bitcoins burst through resistance on July 27th has trader sentiment alluding to the early stages of another major bull run for the crypto markets. But is Bitcoins recent price action just in an overthrow of its significant value area range of $7,000 to $11,500, or was the big move at the end of July the start of another 2017 mania? High Time Frame and Market Structure Bitcoin opened July at $9,150 near the bottom of its 2-month range that began in mid-May. After a nearly full retrace of the sudden drop on March 12th that mimicked the S&P 500, BTCs volatility plummeted as price action settled within the $8,500 to $10,200 range. Several pushes to the highs of the range were rejected, and the price action began tightening towards the bottom of the range at the beginning of July. At the same time, Ethereums DeFi narrative exploded, with COMPs governance token listing launching a flurry of aggressive moves upwards in DeFi tokens and liquidity mining yield searchers. Bitcoins volatility remained muted with little to no volatility until July 21st when BTC began climbing towards the top of its range. Historically, one of the axioms of many traders in the crypto space is the cycle of money inflows when altcoins are pumping, such as what happened with DeFi tokens. The idea is that when BTC moves upwards, alts fall behind (specifically ALT/BTC pairs), profits from BTC cycle back into alts that subsequently catch up to Bitcoin, and the cycle keeps feeding on itself in a positive feedback loop. Thats how you get bubbles like 2017. The cycle was defined by the 2017 ICO mania and meteoric price action, and many traders think that DeFis surprising explosion may have been the tinderbox that fueled BTCs upward move. Regardless, on July 27th, an engulfing candle burst through Bitcoins ranges upper resistance and pushed all the way up to $11,420  filling in a liquidity void from August 12th, 2019 on the weekly chart in the process. Notably, data provided by Glassnode indicated that BTCs push through $10,000 on July 27th was not accompanied by a surge in Coin Days Destroyed (CDD)  a metric that weighs coins that havent moved for a long time more heavily. A muted surge indicates that long-term investors are holding their BTC instead of selling, which has confluence with a surprisingly small amount of on-chain BTC deposits on exchanges  a healthy sign for continuation of the spot market. Today, July 31st, Bitcoins price is tightening in the upper half of its current range between $10,900 and $11,500 with clear skies above should it break out upwards. Zooming out to the weekly chart, BTC has only traded above $11,500 for very brief periods in late 2017 and the late Summer of 2019. Price action did not stall for a substantial time anywhere above $11,500 during either of those periods. Much of BTCs technical analysis for August depends on the weekly close. If BTC closes above its range high at $11,500, expect a strong continuation upwards that may teleport to the next major HTF resistance at roughly $14,000. The next major resistance level after that would be $16,000, with BTC essentially entering price discovery after that level. Conversely, some traders emphasize how a retrace may seem likely towards the $10,500 level. Not only would a retrace to that level fill in the CME gap, which according to MarketScience happens 95 percent of the time, but it would fill in the liquidity void left by single prints using TPO market analysis from the July 27th engulfing candle. However, HTF and technical analysis are not the only pieces of the puzzle for Julys market action and whats on the horizon for August. Options, Volatility, & Funding Rates Even with the recent upwards swing in BTC price, Deribits orderbook and Skews dashboard are indicating vociferous selling of puts across maturities, with upside call skew on options revealing a very bullish mindset among options traders. But the recent volatility uptick was not characteristic of July. For example, Bitcoins implied volatility reached an all-time low at the end of June, with both Skews implied volatility metric and FTXs BVOL token plummeting to new lows. Historically, BTC makes huge moves when volatility remains at such low levels, with historical data from CoinMetrics detailing a 25 percent or more move likely an outcome of BTCs rolling 30-day volatility below 50 percent for extended periods. As Bitcoins price began tightening in a smaller range before July 27th, traders were aware that a big move was coming (e.g., multiple inside days), and were jostling for calls on whether the incoming volatility would explode up or down. The price surged upwards, and volatility on FTXs MOVE contracts and BVOL tokens began trading at a premium. Similarly, funding rates for the BTC perpetual swap contracts across a variety of derivatives venues began surging to some of the highest levels since March. However, as BTC began ranging above $11K, funding rates trended towards neutral as traders took advantage of the funding rates basis trade. This is a bullish development for the further continuation of BTCs price upwards as exceptionally positive funding rates tend to coincide with over-leveraged long traders who get wiped out as the open interest clears. More neutral funding rates paired with a healthy spot market amid a backdrop of the recent halvenings supply issuance decrease all indicate positive price momentum. Outlook In short, BTC price action was mostly muted through July until the final 10 days when price burst through the top of its range resistance. Funding rates are healthy, traders are not over-leveraged, skew is cheapening, long-term investors are holding onto their coins, and options are pricing in a continuation upwards. With little resistance above the current BTC range and volatility returning in force, expect some fireworks in August. Author: Nicolas Tang

U.S. Department accuses 2 Russians of extortion Two Russian nationals have been charged with defrauding three cryptocurrency exchanges and their customers in a series of crimes that involved over $16.8 million in crypto assets, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Wednesday. According to the press release, Danil Potekhin and Dmitrii Karasavidi were involved in a scheme that from 2017 to 2018 and targeted the customers of three crypto service providerstwo U.S.-based and one international. The individuals who administered this scheme defrauded American citizens, businesses, and others by deceiving them and stealing virtual currency from their accounts, said Secretary Steven Mnuchin. According to the press statement, Potekhin created fraudulent web domains imitating those of legitimate currency exchanges. When customers visited Potekhin's "spoofed" websites and entered their login information, Potekhin was able to gain access to their accounts. Potekhin and his team then allegedly used a variety of ways to exfiltrate the stolen funds, including transferring the money to exchange accounts created using stolen identities, circumventing exchanges' internal controls and creating a market manipulation scheme whereby virtual currency was purchased quickly to increase demand and price, and then sold for a much higher price to reap profits.

Will bitcoin transaction fees be too high in the future? This is the chart of Bitcoin's Avg. Transaction fee: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.html Right now the median fee is about $2. After lots of halvings the reward won't be enough to satisfy the miners. I guess that after a decade, bitcoin will be more widespread, as a result, more transactions will occur every second. Won't this increase the median fee? If it does, bitcoin will start being a not-so medium of exchange. Imagine paying $5 for a transaction. Even paypal doesn't charge that much.

The Best Places to Buy Bitcoin in 2020 Encrypted digital currency (cryptocurrency) is a digital currency that is independent of the central bank and uses encryption technology to supervise the issuance and transfer of currency. The 2008 financial crisis swept the world and changed people's views on banks. The banking system is facing an unprecedented crisis of trust, and the emergence of this problem has caused people to rethink the monetary system, and digital currency came into being. In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto published an article entitled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", which outlined the basic system structure of Bitcoin. Subsequently, Bitcoin was born. From then on, encrypted digital currency frequently appeared in people's field of vision, and as a method of value preservation and payment, it was gradually favored by people. You can transfer Bitcoin and use them for purchases at some rare stores on and offline. But when transacting in Bitcoin, beware of large transfer fees when going back and forth between coins and other currencies and even transferring to other digital wallets. So, where can you buy Bitcoin?  Coinbase: Coinbase is the biggest and most respected Bitcoin platform in the United States. The Coinbase wallet is very secure.you can easily transfer funds in and out of your account and convert them to Bitcoin and back to dollars at will.  Robinhood: The best part: No fees! You can buy and sell Bitcoin and other digital currencies completely fee-free on this platform. The biggest downside is that Robinhood does not work in every state for cryptocurrency trades  IXX ExChange IXX ExChange charges very low fees at just .20% for trades,.0.07%for contract. If you want to go far beyond the most popular coins, IXX ExChange is your best option.  Binance: Binance supports a wide range of digital currencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and its own Binance Coin (BNB). Binance charges very low fees at just .10% for trades.  Coinmama: Coinmama is an all-in-one exchange and digital wallet that makes it easy to buy Bitcoin and a limited list of additional currencies in U.S. Dollars or Euros.While the exchange offers great real-time transactions, it does charge higher fees than some others on this listthere's a 3.90% commission fee on buy transactions and 0.90% on sell transactions. Youll pay an additional 5% when you use a credit or debit card But we must understand that due to the special properties of Bitcoin, its currency value has very serious uncertainties, and Bitcoin is a currency in everyone's concept, so it is also a risk of Bitcoin. At such a high price, if you are a speculator, it is actually not an exaggeration to buy. If you are an unconventional risk-averse investor, buying Bitcoin at this time is undoubtedly too expensive, and you must consider it carefully.
