I doubt it was the work of WSB, it was probably the crypto traders, just like when Elon tweeted about Doge.

Good news!

The fees at GBTC seem excessive and competition will only help both fees to decrease, but also lockups and the premium people were willing to pay to buy GBTC.  If the SEC would stop being such luddites, they could resolve the issue quite quickly by just approving the ETF.

On searching USDT i found USDT (Trc20) and added in my wallet. Now i can send and receive USDT without any fee 

Is the same thing can be done on Bread wallet ? Does BRD wallet also supports Trc20 USDT ?

The BRD app only supports bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and some ERC20 tokens at the moment. Unsupported currencies sent to your BRD wallet will be inaccessible and we will not be able to return those funds to you.

They mentioned, "minimal KYC" under the "DIRECT PURCHASE" section of their homepage and only "No ID" on their FAQ page. Does anyone know what that means exactly?
^{- I've been searching with no luck.}

This is bad. Really bad. Imagine if a lot of countries are doing the same.

Governments are trying to kill the term “decentralization”. Regulatory moves like this are destroying the purpose of decentralization.

The more valuable bitcoin has become, the more people are using it to buy stuff.  ”We have definitely seen a ‘wealth effect’ pattern when the bitcoin price increases,” says James Walpole, BitPay’s marketing manager. In other words, if you already owned bitcoin and it rose in value, selling some bitcoin would give you more dollars to spend.

What are people spending bitcoins on? Walpole says about a third of BitPay’s transactions are going to prepaid services like Neteller, Skrill, and BitPay’s prepaid Visa card. Some 21% are going to gaming platforms like Steam. Fifteen percent of transactions go to digital services like domain-name registrations.

The bitcoin “wealth effect” is also evident in the buying patterns of customers at CheapAir, which sells plane tickets, hotel reservations and car rentals online. CheapAir was one of the earliest merchants to accept bitcoin payments in November 2013, and founder Jeff Klee says his bitcoin customers are now feeling flush. “With bitcoin we tend to generate more sales in premium cabins like business class or first class,” he says. “Certainly the average spend for the bitcoin customer is higher than a non-bitcoin customer.”

I just wish there would be someway to get something back at least someday

@Sithara007. You understand, good. I have been telling everyone about this on another thread in the speculation subforum, however, they have called it FUD even if the argument was based on facts. How can anyone call it FUD if it was facts based? It is speculation.

And there will be big impact on the cryptocurrency market. If Tether is not safe, then none of the stablecoins are safe.

The City of Miami is dedicated to becoming a model 21st century city. We think that means embracing and supporting disruptive technologies that challenge the status quo and improve how we interact with one another. Bitcoin, the decentralized financial network that allows individuals worldwide to store and send value to one another without intermediary agents like banks or payment processors, is a technology we believe will transform the world.

Bitcoin is the invention of a pseudonymous computer programmer called Satoshi Nakamoto. In October 2008, the still unknown Satoshi published a white paper called "Bitcoin: A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System," outlining his proposal and the mechanics of what we now commonly refer to as Bitcoin's "blockchain." The Bitcoin network has run continuously and without incident since its launch on January 3, 2009. The network currently secures over $600 billion in value and its native cryptocurrency (bitcoin with a lowercase "b" or "BTC") is seen by many experts as the next great store of value and akin to a digital gold. 

The City of Miami is actively exploring how we can best utilize Bitcoin and related technologies and are committed to supporting and attracting businesses and entrepreneurs innovating in the space.

I am UK based yes, but don't want to use CB because of their high fees.... Maybe BINANCE is the next one for me.

Not that I'm complaining, but you have to say, the FUD is really, really disappointing this time around. A few wild stabs in the media about Bitcoiners losing hope in this crash. Some pathetic double spend fearmongering fake news.

I even managed to see an article talking about Craig Wright once and for all making Bitcoin great again.

So much clutching at straws, I'm really, really let down. I'm used to seeing much better FUDding out there!

You actually need the email address to be real because when you first attempt to sign up, there is a message that's sent to the email address for verification. You can still sign in minus verification but sometimes if you sign in from a different browser or device, the sign in could be flagged as suspicious and a verification message would be sent to your email address as I have experienced it before. Without a real email address, you won't be able to access your account (if you didn't back up your recovery phrase)

I need fast deposit times.. (not waiting 3 days or asked to pay £21 for same day like Kraken).
Low fees..
Easy to use interface as well as more indepth analysis when I get there.
I want to be able to deposit money and act fast, not wait 3 days.

The only other one that's coming up after Kraken is Binance?

The cryptospace will become fragmented similar to how the financial system is fragmented instead of being one whole ecosystem for payments and finance for users without the banks.

I won't go into too many details, but that mainly depends on how secure your device is and the fact that it only requires an email and a password, it places itself in a vulnerable position.
^{- I wouldn't use it for a significant amount.}

The difference between it and Metamask is that you have to create and log into it using an email address and password.

There is no way the stock will hold a $28B value if cryptocurrency is tanking or in a bear market. The demand just isn't there.

IMO it only makes sense to either stay away from crypto, or buy the assets. (In the long term)

Coinbase’s stock price goes up since they are making more profit via the exchange transaction costs. Decentralized currencies also increase, and you’re left with fiat cash that, in return, could buy less of the crypto that you believe in.

Only looking to hodl BTC & ETH and eventually do a bit of swing/day trades. Looking to fund with Fiat via ACH or wire transfer. I would love to hear and appreciate your knowledge and suggestions for the best exchange to use:

-US Citizen
-As "safe" as "safe" can be
-Low deposit/withdrawal/trading fees

-Must issue private keys so I can store on Nano X

-Also plan to do some swing trades in addition to hodling
-No nonsense approval/verification process

Hehe it was Trump who was ok for bitcoin. What he says about his stance on bitcoin might be negative, however, his policies never went out of their way for a clear takedown of the cryptospace.

Can anyone help please?
