We should feel no pity toward people that buy shitcoins, but also we shouldn’t criticize them. It is their money, they are grown up adults, so if they want to risk it their right. Not our business no matter if they lose or have profits. All consequences are theirs.

If people lose money on some shitcoins, they won't hear any consolation or get any pity from me. They were stupid, riskied and I don't care even if they lost everything. There made decisions and they bear consequences like all adults do. Not knowing all facts before purchase is their fault, it is not proper…

CEXes like Binance should be criticized more for adding and promoting hyped up useless shitcoins knowing their customers will only lose money and serve as exit liquidity

Binance for example, amongst others, has just few weeks ago heavily promoted and hyped launch of Pepe on their platform. They knew it was easy money for them, but they also knew that their customers to whom they're promoting this all over Twitter and other social media will just be exit liquidity, and therefore lose…

MetaMask will hold your crypto, if you haven’t pay taxes. This was added when they adjusted their terms of service!

Hi everyone, After all the ledger drama, we may see another one. MetaMask adjusted their terms of service and now they say that they have the right to withhold taxes where required.

Conflux Token (CFX) Retraces After 39% Gains In Seven Days

Conflux (CFX), the token powering Conflux’s high throughput, Tree-Graph powered layer-1 blockchain, experienced a rollercoaster ride in a whirlwind of price fluctuations. Last week, it tumbled to a low of $0.20 per token, leaving observers on edge. However, it managed to climb back up over the course of the week, reaching a level of $0.330. However, the token has faced a downward trajectory in the past four days, resulting in a decrease of over 19% in price. CoinMarketCap data shows that CFX has dipped around 2% in the last 24 hours. Despite this recent dip, optimistic projections for its future price persist. While it may have encountered some setbacks, Conflux has remained one of the top performers in the past seven days, impressively gaining over 30% during this period. Maintaining a position above the key support level of $0.295, which aligns with the previous week’s high, provides some stability amidst the turbulence. What’s Driving Conflux (CFX) Growth? Conflux (CFX) has been making waves with its remarkable on-the-year gains of approximately 1,700%. Naturally, observers are curious about the role of whales in this upward surge, speculating whether they are driving the buying and pumping of the token. While it’s a possibility, we can’t say for certain. The impressive performance of Conflux coincides with the optimism surrounding China’s renewed interest in cryptocurrencies. As the country seemingly shifts its stance towards the crypto industry, there are hopes that Conflux will reap the benefits. The project has been actively fostering partnerships with various regional enterprises, positioning itself as a potential frontrunner in meeting regulatory requirements.

This collaboration opens up exciting opportunities as Little Red Book’s massive user base of 180 million individuals can now showcase Conflux-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on their profiles. Additionally, Conflux has forged a partnership with China Telecom, further enhancing its presence and potential within the Chinese market. Conflux, China Telecom Introduce Blockchain SIM Card Conflux Network and China Telecom have unveiled the world’s first Blockchain SIM (BSIM) card, a mobile user identification card based on blockchain technology. The BSIM card, resembling traditional SIM cards, is compatible with Android and iOS systems and offers significantly larger storage space and computing power than traditional SIM cards. The BSIM card goes beyond standard communication functions by generating and storing users’ public and private keys within the card itself. By employing a “private key never leaves the card” approach for digital signatures enhances security and reduces the risk of malware or virus attacks on mobile terminals. Additionally, the card provides encrypted storage and key recovery features and integrates traditional U-shield functions, making it a highly secure Web3 user terminal entry solution.

What Next For Conflux (CFX)? As long as renowned cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to thrive in the face of global banking system concerns, Conflux (CFX) might also benefit from these favorable market conditions. Additionally, the prospects of significant financial easing from central banks, including the Federal Reserve, could further bolster CFX’s performance. Hong Kong’s recent decision to legalize certain cryptocurrency trades is a noteworthy development to monitor. This move is seen by many as a testing ground for potential crypto legalization on the mainland. Considering Conflux’s growing popularity and adoption in China, CFX stands to gain as a key beneficiary of this trend. The recent collaboration with a Chinese SIM card company further strengthens the optimism within the crypto community. These factors collectively contribute to the positive outlook for CFX, as it rides the coattails of established cryptocurrencies, anticipates favorable monetary policies, and capitalizes on potential crypto legalization in China. At press time, Conflux was trading at $0.2962. -Featured image from iStock.com, charts from CoinMarketCap and TradingView.com

Number of days it took each crypto to reach 1 billion dollar marketcap.

https://i.redd.it/jb3w47qcn31b1.jpg Its crazy to think a meme coin got a billion "invested" into it in less than 20 days. Part of the issue is the hype train and FOMO that happens when something takes off but I think a majority of the blame is also on exchanges that are willing to list something obviously a…

Tornado Cash (TORN) Suffers 27% Drop As Hackers Strike

Tornado Cash (TORN) has experienced a sudden fall in its market price over the last few hours following news of the DeFi protocol suffering a crypto exploit late yesterday. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Tornado Cash is down 28.25% in the last 24 hours, albeit this only represents a retraced value. Following news of TORN’s attack, the token initially dropped by over 60% before finding support around the price region of $3.86. Since then, TORN has made some upward movement, however not sufficient to cover up the earlier loss.

According to Chinese reporter Colin Wu, the hacker used their newly gained control to move a total of 483,000 TORN out of the Tornado Cash governance vault worth about $2 million at the present market price of $4.5. The hacker then proceeded to deposit 6,000 TORN on the Bitrue exchange and swapped the remaining 379,300 TORN on-chain for 375ETH. Currently, there has been no official statement from Bitrue on this development. Meanwhile, all TORN investors have been urged to withdraw all their governance-locked funds from the project developers. In addition, the Binance exchange has suspended TORN deposits pending a solution to the governance issue.   For now, it remains unknown how long it may take for TORN developers to regain control of the governance system and perhaps recover the stolen loot. Thus, TORN investors are advised to keep a close watch for any latest development.  At the time of writing, TORN is trading at $4.5, with a 1.5% gain in the last hour. Looking at its broader performance, the DeFi token leaves much to desire, with 30.6% and 48.9% losses in the last 14 and 30 days, respectively.

About 2000 ETH – valued at nearly $2 million then- of the loot were moved to Tornado Cash following the heist. Following this event, TORN was blacklisted by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), banning all U.S. citizens from engaging with the protocol. Other popular heists involving the use of Tornado Cash in moving part of the stolen funds include the recent $200 million theft from Euler Finance and the $28 million Derbit hack in 2022.  -Featured Image: Forbes , Chart from Tradingview
