It seems the scammers went even further. They created a youtube channel called 'SpaceX Live' where they promote these scams.

There's a live video with SpaceX people talking about the launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a07f5F-Mcqg
I have reported the video for scams but it seems like it wasn't taken down yet.

Websites:

Do NOT send your BTC to these addresses!

They managed to get some BTC out of idiots after all

Later EDIT: The video was taken down now

Every crash is a new opportunity for others so, I would bet a lot of people started buying during the crash hence the fast rebound we're seeing now.

I don't think he is dead although, if I were him, I would have cashed out a few of the BTC he's holding in Dec 2017 

I've been using TabTrader for trading crypto on Android.
You add in api keys from your favorite exchanges and trade where ever & when ever you like.

It's the best alternative to having the apps from all of the exchanges installed on your phone.

I don't like the overall lack of bitcoin adoption that is today.
Bitcoin has been around for more than 10 years now, but I don't see bitcoin accepted as a form a payment yet (for the large retailers) and it should have been already.

Not to mention that a few months back even the Bitcoin Conference wasn't accepting bitcoin as payment... That speaks for itself on the confidence of Bitcoin being a payment system.

What kind of intelligence would they gather with an anonymous type of currency?

It nice to see some countries are moving forward with crypto.

I'm curious how they will get income tax from these employees? Will it be in crypto too and you'll send it to an IRS BTC address?

Interesting article.

Although I would imagine someone who wants to invests money into crypto will do their homework first irrespective of whom is marketing it be it male or female.

I wouldn't expect anyone on the government to be pro-crypto anyway.
I'm not sure why the Trump's idiot statement from a few days back made so many ripples in the crypto world.

It looks like Libra is everything a crypto currency shouldn't be... that's sad.

Most likely it will succeed since it's backed up by a lot of important companies but I still feel like it shouldn't.

Yeah, I agree. No one known the real identity of Satoshi not even the guys who interacted with him directly while working on BTC.

So, don't keep your hopes up

The rich people knew how to over evaluate BTC in Dec 2017 by using loads of marketing tactics (FB campaigns especially) and to use USDT (they were buying BTC with USDT massively to create an artificial demand and increase FOMO) to pull in people that didn't know how BTC works.

These guys already made a huge profit in late 2017 - early 2018. No need to worry about them

Any plans on doing more on the marketing side?

Still hoping to see this coin at a new ATH soon.

I'm glad to see some good news about ETC because it kinda looked like a dead coin for a long of time.

I wonder if we are ever going to see a $45 ETC sometime in the future...

Good one @theymos! 

Looks like the gender dropdown is finally politically correct 

I identify as an Attack Helicopter btw.

By time they get access to the coins - if ever - the coins will be worthless so, just plain bad luck for the customers if you ask me.

I think the short answer is: It depends

You need to make sure it's the same person posting and it's not a stolen account first (since a few years of inactivity is a lot).

Another point is that a lot of people got a bit discouraged by the cryptocurrency evolution this past year so, this can be a reason for inactivity.

Some were just busy with other projects (myself included).

If you think of it, even a very active poster can bail on you when he loses interest so, it's kind of the same thing.

Used to be more active in the past but I've had a lot on my plate lately. Trying my luck with this campaign

IMHO, they can set the hard cap wherever they want. It's not something standard and it does not reflect anything.

The new forum has everything you ever wished for, it's like the holy grail of forums, but you can't have it.
