Proof-of-Shit....o wait...DELEGATED Proof-of-Shit....

Is anyone surprised? We've been saying it for years...POS concensus sucks. It doesn't magically become better just because you add the word "delegated", either.

It'll be the exchanges that run the show.

Crypto trading is when ones are crying, the others are smiling.
It's the same with love :))))

The cryptocurrency-powered web browser, Brave, has recently bought back more than half a million Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) from advertisers according to a data from its transparency page.

The repurchased amount, 534,441 BAT tokens (worth appr. $106,882), is very likely due to the increase in the rate of advertising since the browser launched Brave Ads campaigns with advertisers buying these ads with either fiat currencies or BAT tokens, and Brave subsequently repurchasing these tokens.

Notably, this is the highest amount of BAT tokens the browser has repurchased in a single month ever since they started buying back tokens in August 2019.

The browser is becoming increasingly popular for the high level of privacy. It affords its users by automatically blocking trackers, thus making the browsing processes of users seamless. Users also enjoy the opportunity of getting up to 70% of Brave’s advertising income via BAT tokens, which are given based on the total number of Brave Ads they can watch at a given time via the Brave Rewards platform.

The Brave team has also been consistently working hard to improve the browsing experience for users by introducing new features to the browser. The BAT token was also the first supported token on the Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD) system of MakerDAO late last year.

More recently, the web browser hit a total number of 12.2 million active users, with 4 million daily users according to a tweet by the CEO, Brendan Eich, on March 5. This is an increase of more than 4 million active monthly users from the last statistics in October 2019.

Meanwhile, despite the current market conditions, BAT token at the time of writing is currently up around 3% with a price of $0.2 per coin and a market cap of $288 million, perhaps suggesting that things are surely looking up for the fast-growing web browser.

I hate people like that. Not so long ago he was a huge supporter on Bitcoin and now he made 180... and not because he suddenly lost trust in Bitcoin due to market crash, but because he is deliberately spreading fear so prices can drop even more and his greedy ass can buy more for cheap.

What a wanker.

Why are people giving away so much money for free? Is it a scam?
The truth is that the creators of a coin now a days have to get peoples attention. By giving away coins instead of requesting private sales the coin gets traction easier and perhaps they don't even need much more money if the project is lean and clean - once the coin goes up in value they will get a lot of money anyway. Why would they give away money? Well most traders just don't believe in a coin until it's grown in volume and perhaps its down to a few satoshis and people know that it might just go up a few more and thats a good investment too. But the devs also get a stronger subscription base on their social media accounts to get more people interest and they get many who read their posts and that's worth giving away a few coins to everyone who joins, and the users gain a decent chunk actually! It's basically advertising with coins that are made from thin air - but when everyone starts trading it.. it might just go up a lot in price ;) I personally hold my airdrop coins and wait, if it takes a year to get 1000% or 500% profit ill wait :)
It's a great way for people who dont have much investment money to easily get some crypto and learn more about different projects and how they act on the blockchain. Anyone could join and get $100 in a month clicking a few minutes a day, or you could spend some more time and make 4 figure numbers. It's up to you how much time you have, if you can refer people in an easy way or not.

This is my favorite, it has a lot of drops - currently around 15-20 active drops you enter easily and most are eth based so you give them your adress for when the drop is released at a later time - meanwhile you got time to gain more coins by sharing the different ref codes! https://is.gd/AvFnk4 Enjoy the free coins and daily drops :)

Dear crypto enthusiasts,

As you probably know, Switzerland is being considered as the crypto valley. Especially Zug is known for being the home of many very promising crypto ventures.

The newest crypto venture coming out of the Alpin state is Bitalium. The company is led by a very experienced entrepreneur Sam D. Walch based out of Zug.


Just recently he demonstrated the company’s Poloniex trading accounts to a hand-picked group of distributors.

One of the accounts was showing 709 BTC. The same account was showing 50 BTC two years ago.

It goes without saying that this is an extraordinary result that Bitalium’s traders were able to pull off.

Monero is facing significant scrutiny after a few cryptocurrency exchanges announced the delisting of the cryptocurrency. Bithumb was the last one to announce the delisting of XMR after users took to Telegram their concern about Monero being used to purchase child pornography.

The delisting auditory board of Bithumb’s decided on the permanent delisting of Monero, which will be effective from June 1st. Monero is a cryptocurrency built around a security infrastructure that protects people’s identities. It appears to be the preferred method of payment for the Dark Web, which includes significant content on child pornography.

The South Korea police are currently investigating the matter and attempting to track down people who have used the crypto to pay for this type of material.

Bithumb also cited a decrease in XMR trading volumes as a reason to delist the cryptocurrency. Another exchange that also delisted Monero was Huobi due to the scandal. Although they did not quote this as a specific reason for the delisting, reports quickly surged confirming this was the reason behind it.

More crypto exchanges have also begun cooperating with police forces to quickly track down transactions related to the purchasing of child pornography cases. This is good news for the protection of children’s rights everywhere, showing that when it comes to children, their wellbeing will always come before privacy or anonymity.
