If it was legit he could just install and transfer his BTC to Exodus wallet, it has built in coin swap and requires no sign up.

Personally I think he's right, he and his country are smeared for not toeing the Western line, this article from today says

"This misunderstood country might be the most underrated winter sun option on Earth
It is rarely in the news for the right reasons, but this Central American nation with a Bitcoin-loving leader deserves a rebranding"

I can't believe nobody has posted about this, Visa's head of crypto

I smell a false flag here.

Accounts with millions of followers , Obama, Biden, Gates, Musk, Bezos involved. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bill-gates-elon-musk-twitter-accounts-hacked-nigerian-bitcoin-scam-over-53000-stolen

Who will be painted as the baddie here?

Yep you guessed it BITCOIN, criminals fleecing unsuspecting saps, it needs to be banned/brought under strict control will be the call all over the bought and paid for mainstream media

Mostly agree with your reply but I was rather hopeful for Myriadcoin which as far as I know was the first multi algorithm coin which gave everyone a chance to mine and also went some way to prevent the chance of 50% attacks. It still has a good following so who knows it may take off at some point.
As you stated though coin trading is all about making profit so if you make the wrong choices don't blame the people who made the right choices.

I received the following scam email today and thought I would show it in the hope that others don't fall for this scam.

How do I know it's a scam?

I don't watch porn online nor do I have a webcam also a quick search shows that quite a few Reddit users had the exact same email albeit using a different BTC addy.

Stay safe people.

Hello, You do not know me and you're probably wondering why you're getting this email, right?
The answer is that I put a malvware on a site that has adult videos (porn) and you accessed the website to have fun (you know what i mean).
While you were watching the system began to function as a RDP (Remote Desktop) with a keylogger through which I had access to your screen and your webcam.
After that my software collected all your contacts from messengers, emails and social networks.
And what did I do? I created a double-screen video - First Part Your Screen Record (you have a nice taste, lol) and Second Part the recording of your webcam. And all your contacts.
So, what should you do? In my opinion U$350 is a fair value for our little secret. you will make the payment via Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search "how to buy bitcoin", it's very easy) My bitcoin address is: 1GxG5dfnAGoHwxyahWkRq29ef7BwdEEgcr
You will only have 1 day after reading this message to make the payment (I have set a special pixel in this email and I will know when you read it).
If I do not receive my Bitcoins I will send your video to all your contacts (including co-workers, family, etc ...).
If I get paid all the material will be destroyed.
If you want proof, reply with 'YEAH' and I will send your video to 5 contacts that I have collected from you.

We would like to address recent reports regarding Bittrex account suspensions.

We occasionally conduct compliance reviews and are working vigilantly to protect our service and our users from harm. As part of a compliance review, we have temporarily suspended certain accounts pending the completion of the review. The total number of suspended, closed, or banned accounts is very limited: less than 0.1% of the total accounts on Bittrex.  More than 99.9% of Bittrex accounts are unaffected.

Any reports that Bittrex miscalculated or misapplied its exchange fees, that there is a security problem with the exchange, that Bittrex lost any coins stored on users’ behalf, or that Bittrex is banning people trying to access Slack to discuss the status of their accounts are incorrect.  We are committed to making Bittrex a strong, safe, and compliant exchange where people can securely participate in the digital currency economy.  We ask for patience from our highly valued customers.  As for us, we plan to “keep calm, and carry on.”

John McAfee obviously thinks it's possible , he's predicted $500,000 within three years.

Good question, I don't know the answer but would like to add what do you class as trading ?
 If I bought Bitcoins years ago before AML regs came in and just sat on them and now decided to sell at a massive profit is that classed as trading ? Would I have to prove where I got the coins ?

Gleb I just love your posts.

The fact that the British Biased Corporation was involved should make every one suspicious that a government agency is somehow involved here.

The question of EU citizen voting rights is here for councils to see.

Section1.2
" EU citizens, while entitled to vote at any local elections, won’t be entitled to vote at the UK Parliamentary election."

http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/182007/UKPGE-combined-poll-card.pdf

My friend reported the mistake to the Electoral Commission and they haven't acknowledged receipt of his email complaint.

UK is getting more like a banana republic with every day.

You missed a category.

EU citizens who have been illegally given the vote in the Parliamentary election.

There are at least two city councils that have issued poll cards like that, I have seen one of those cards and my friend's wife in another city has one.

Welcome to No. 10 Ed.

Not enough people have questioned the very poor quality images and videos that were force fed to the world at the beginning of this saga.

Debunk those images such as the Paris Match "photos" and there is no case against Russia or separatists but what is even more worrying is that if those images and videos are proved fake then due to the rapid timeframe of them appearing that begs the question of were they prepared in advance of a premeditated attack on a civilian airliner?

For instance Paris Match announced their journalists were on hand to capture the photograph of the BUK on it's way from Donetsk.

In my opinion the Paris Match photos are video grabs from a dash cam , probably of the Volvo pulling a digger or some other machine and then the BUK was badly photoshopped on hence the weird angle of the BUK, it appears to be perched up on it's front wheels whilst the tractor unit is flat to the road.

The video that grab was taken from appears to be the same size and aspect ratio that would fit with Paris Match photos.

Does anyone think the US will allow any open Bitcoin transactions when this happens?

When the US dollar crashes.

"the US will be prepared ahead of time with a new, electronic currency. This will serve three purposes:

It will allow the US government to blame paper currencies for the crash, in order to distract the public from recognising that the government itself is the culprit.
It will allow the US government to create a currency system that disallows the holding of tradable currency by the population—that is, a debit card would be created by banks through which all transactions must pass, assuring that all transactions are processed by (and thereby subject to the control of) a bank.
It will allow the US government to have knowledge of every penny earned and spent by any individual or organization, allowing for direct-debit income taxation."
