Cryptocurrency prices fell on Tuesday in Asia as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cracked down on ETF names that could be misleading investors.
Bitcoin declined 2% to $5,048.9 by 11:28 PM ET (03:28 GMT). Ethereum lost 4.2% to $161.29, XRP slipped 1.9% to $0.31919 and Litecoin was down 5.6% to $78.433.
The SEC has found in multiple occasions that “blockchain” was misleadingly used in some funds’ names and will now refuse the term to be mentioned in the title of any fund.
“Issuers are prohibited from using “materially deceptive or misleading” names under the Investment Company Act of 1940,” the SEC said.
In other news, Corporate Traveller, the largest travel management firm in the U.K., will now accept Bitcoin as a payment method, according to a press release on April 15.
“We identified an increasing demand from our clients for the option to pay in bitcoin for business travel bookings made by our travel consultants. We chose BitPay to manage our merchant processing because they make it easy and handle the entire process of getting the Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash from the customer and depositing cash into our account,” the company said.
Elsewhere, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Monday that France will ask the European Union to adopt a regulatory framework it approved last week.
"I will propose to my European partners that we set up a single regulatory framework on crypto-assets inspired by the French experience," Le Maire said in Paris at an event on blockchain technology. "Our model is the right one."
A financial sector law that included regulations aimed at encouraging cryptocurrency issuers and traders to set up in France by giving them some official recognition was approved in France last week.
Currently, cryptocurrencies are still largely unregulated or banned in most countries.

The background of this question is self explanatory.
It is almost like, which technologies or more likely event have turned out into a great impact in history by people who remained anonymous forever?
I can think of the chinese man in Tiangman square (probably misspelled by me, sorry) and although that makes a cute pic, I do not know if it actually changed anything.
The Bitcoin guy has changed a lot.
I think the assassin who started WWI was known, what if he was not?
There is a russian guy responsible for not launching a nuclear attack, we know.
Back to the question, what has happen in history that we know "someone" did something and the result had a huge positive or negative or neutral-still-huge outcome in history?
English is not my mother language but if you get my drill, my bet is that some comments might turn out really interesting.

If you want to obtain bitcoin and you are underage,
Ask Your Parents, to use an exchange like Kraken,(sorry Coinbase, not recommending you), and many other exchanges. They will usually use KYC regulations, and require your id or other documents.
Use LocalBitcoins.com or Paxful.com . Psssh, who needs KYC, when you can buy BTC without it. It is not that simple however, LBC and Paxful, use an escrow service, meaning that the bitcoins the seller has and you need to give him your payment method, be it Paypal or gift cards, in time before the escrow expires. I have lots of trades on both of these sites, and to verify that the seller is good, you need to, have prior sales with him/her, or look at his/her's profile and see the positive and negative feedback. The fees on both of these sites are enormous, even if you are using small amounts. You can use many options to buy on both of these sites, including, ITunes gift cards, Xbox GC's, Prepaid Visa and Amex Cards, Paypal, Amazon Gift Cards and many more. Remember, if you have bitcoin sin the wallets of this website, amke sure to transfer it to your personal wallet or others, I'll get into that later.
You might find out that some of the jobs might be too complex for you. But scroll a bit and you will find some easier ones.
If you want to use these freelance sites effectively, then try to up your typing skills, get better research skills, learn about graphic design, or if you are good at illustrations, use these to your advantages. r/Slavelabour is for extremely small tasks, that pay.
and here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key , if you want to get the best wallets for storing your btc go here https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet , but my favorite one is Electrum personally. Although this is not on bitcoin.org, I suggest Exodus wallet for multi-cryptocurrency support, if you are looking to invest in more.
Another danger you have to face is downloading btc wallets on malware infested computers, this will affect in your BTC being lost, so don't do it.
The worst way to store your bitcoins is on the internet, web wallets, like Blockchain.info where you are not in control of your keys, do the same things like exchanges mentioned before, where your wallets can be shut down and can, and, were hacked.
The two best ways to store your bitcoins are on Hardware wallets like Trezor, Keepkey, and Ledger, where your BTC is stored on physical hardware, the only downside is that it costs money, if your parents are cool with crypto, they probably will let you have one. If they are not, try to get one delivered to a friends house who consents, the Ledger in particular looks like any unsuspecting flash drive. Make sure you are buying from the official websites of the wallets and not other ways, counterfeit Hardware wallets have security defects. The next best way, are paper wallets like on bitaddress.com, where your bitcoin public key and private key are on paper and not on any computers, it is essential that you turn off WiFi on this site and make sure nobody is spying on you. Paper wallets have a problem that sort of defeats the purpose of using it that to to take out the funds you need to use a web wallet. But, still for people who want privacy in storing btc and at about zero cost(apart from ink and a working printer) ,it works.
This applies to minors also, Never Invest More than You Can Afford To Lose, Don't put your entire allowance into BTC, if you are in it for the money, you will need to have patience. If you are not in it for the money, good job, you are about to venture into the world of cryptography and privacy.
TL:DR: If you want to get BTC when underage, ask your parents, or use LBC/Paxful and trade Gift Cards, Go on job boards that pay in BTC, and store BTC in safe Bitcoin.org sanctioned wallets.

Dear Pundians,
Thank you for participating in the AMA session with Pundi X founder and CEO Zac Cheah.
For those of you who may have missed it, the live recording of the AMA session held last on April 12 at 10:00 am GMT+8, tackling Q1 progress and addressing questions and concerns by the community members, can be viewed here:
You may also find a summary of the Q1 progress presentation as well as the Q&A below:
(Correction: The 179,982 X Wallet users include both KYC verified and unverified users; and not all KYC verified users as mentioned in the video. Zac’s apology.)
XPOS Handy, a more affordable version of XPOS, is now in production. 2,000 units will be produced. The team is also looking into expanding XPOS into traditional POS units platforms and has started working on one of the top two POS brands for integration.
Zac: The pick up rate during Q1 isn’t moving as fast partly due to the bear market. Another contributing factor of which some of you may be aware, is that we have been working on obtaining the relevant FCC and CE certifications for the XPOS as it’s a requirement by most governments.
We are pleased to announce that the XPOS has been officially certified. It’s in fact the first blockchain based POS device that has been given the CE certificate. And with this, we will begin to accelerate to get the XPOS compliant with the different markets and increase the activation rate of the XPOS.
For example, in Dubai, we are working with the local credit bureau to apply for an approval with the local regulators using our CE Certificate as the base document. The same goes for Korea’s KC certification.
So yes, a lot of things have been moving behind the scenes and one thing that is clear is whatever we do, it is to play the long-term game. Hence, we had to make sure that we have all the relevant required certification for the XPOS before we take it to the next level of deployment.
Zac: The XPOS and XWallet have handled a total of $3.9M USD in Q1 outbound transaction.
Zac: As always, similar to other business deals, due to confidentiality agreements, we do not comment on major partnerships until it’s firmed up or announced first by our counterparties. One thing for sure, we are working hard to engage established global enterprises (especially those) with a large distribution network and footprint.
In addition to that, we are exploring the expansion of our XPOS solution footprint by integrating the XPOS into one of the Top 2 point-of-sale manufacturers. We will share the process and details once we have completed the testing.
Zac: We are in the process of getting the XPOS certified with the local government authorities. And now that the XPOS has the CE certificate, it will accelerate the approval process in Dubai.
Zac: We have reached out to various parties that can provide and activate these services and that includes meeting the CEO of MasterCard, Mr Ajay, in person. He has seen our XPOS and from what I could tell, he was impressed.
Zac: The XPOS is a digital currency-neutral device. When there’s enough demand and a real need from an organization or company, we would not hesitate to add it to our XPOS ecosystem.
Zac: XPOS itself is hardware-ready for these payment methods. To activate these services, we will be required to comply with the local regulations in different jurisdictions and work with the providers of payment gateways.
Zac: The team is working on this. In the first phase, we will have a list of the featured merchants. We are targeting to have a “lite” version of this “featured merchant” map ready by end-May. We are finalizing the name but you can call it the X-MAP where you can locate your favourite XPOS merchants or X-Merchants.
Zac: Our XPOS merchants already have access to the stable coin feature, but for regular consumers, the option to have stable coin is not available yet. However we foresee turning on this feature soon.
Zac: China’s stance against Cryptocurrency is still a no-go. The news that was mentioned a year ago refers to our license distributor called XPOT (they had a kick off event a year ago where Mr. Prachuab Chaiyasan, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand was one of the attendees). XPOT is our licensed distributor and I believe they are still in discussion with the local governments and pending the environment to change.
Regarding Thailand, we are in talks; with possible partnerships in this market. Please stay tuned.
Zac: Regulatory bodies are still ambiguous about their policies toward cryptocurrencies. As previously mentioned, we will continue to monitor the situation in the different markets and be compliant so that as soon as there is clarity in the market, we will be in a prime position to move in.
Zac: We are awaiting RBI’s permission too, as crypto is still frowned upon by the local authorities.
Zac: As previously mentioned, pre-public token sale participants who purchased > 30 ETH are entitled to a free XPOS. If you haven’t claimed yours, please reach out to us.
Also in the pipeline, we are working with some non-profit organizations to provide free XPOS for their usage.
Zac: Yes, we will. Someone has asked the same thing about XPOS. It will likely be added around the same time for XPOS, XWallet and XPASS.
Zac: This is my personal favorite feature to have and it’s on my wishlist. In order to support fiat, we need to have a Payment Service License / E-Money License / Stored-value license in a jurisdiction that supports a particular fiat. For example, if it’s EURO, we will need to apply for a license or lease it via a partner for this to work.
We are definitely exploring the different possibilities but we are unable to elaborate more on when, or if it is happening, as this also requires more talks with the different local jurisdictions.
Q: Turkish holders would like to ask when can we partner with master / visa and integrate with XWallet?
Zac: As mentioned earlier, we have reached out to various parties that might be able to activate these services.
Zac: There are tons of things we are working on for Q3 and Q4.
I will broadly separate it into:
Developer ecosystem — The developer ecosystem allows traditional and tech companies to onboard themselves into the XPOS and XWallet ecosystem, such as listing of their custom tokens, advertising etc. These services will all require the usage of NPXS and NPXSXEM tokens.
Partnerships — We are likely to partner with incumbent retail chain stores payment companies, incumbent POS companies that have deep distribution network to help expand the reach of XPOS, XWallet, XPASS, etc.
Governmental level efforts — We started off with Dubai and since then, several other governments have shown interest. We see this as an opportune time to engage forward-thinking governments to build a blockchain ecosystem in their city and country.
Our Team: we will continue to invest and grow our R&D team capabilities as they represent the heart of Pundi X. If any engineer or developer is keen to help us to scale, please get in touch with us. We are actually looking for engineers as I speak.
Zac: Good question. Some holders may be aware that token removal includes the result from the conversion. The amount of Q1 token removal will be announced in the 1st week of May and we will execute the removal in the 2ndweek of May.
Zac: It is not monthly. We are doing a quarterly token removal.
Zac: That’s a good suggestion. While a daily ticker might be challenging, we certainly can try exploring incorporating a ticker update towards all token removal or scheduled for the next one.
Zac: There are trading teams, market makers, financial institutions that profit from the drop and rise of token prices in the crypto market and it’s not something that is unique to NPXS. In fact, the traditional stock markets have similar challenges as well. We have taken the “the best defense is a good offense” strategy which is to continue to strengthen our tokens; such as create more use cases, drive more adoption and more distribution to ensure our tokens are well positioned and stronger than ever.
Zac: We rarely engage in paid partnerships as it doesn’t necessarily produce the best ROI in terms of investment and in this market condition, we believe in being financially prudent. Being in a decentralized environment, we consider ourselves as a community-driven company.
The impact of organic press coverage driven by our community is always stronger. We do want to be seen on all major news channels and we will do that via “thought leadership brand building.” As a testament to our growing reputation, recently, we were invited to speak at the Fintech Ideas Festival event and be on the same stage as the senior executives and CEOs of Wells Fargo, COO and CTO of Bank of America and other large institutions. We see this as the right step forward in growing our brand appeal to the masses.
Zac: The QEX fund is led by Vic Tham,CEO and Fen Chao Yong, COO, at Quantum Energy Asset Management, also known as QEAM. Other than being the CEO of QEAM, Vic is also Pundi X’s Chief Investment Officer.
From what we know, they are in the midst of raising funds, book building, analyzing potential projects & companies and strengthening the portfolio for QEX. It’s an ongoing effort for this year and a very exciting one. We are extremely excited to see potential breakthrough projects that could benefit our ecosystem. And if anyone has questions or interests, please do reach out to Vic Tham and his team at QEAM.
Zac: Many keen developers are eagerly waiting for it, and I know Billy who has posted this question is one of them. We are working on it right now, we can’t commit on the dates yet but developer support is a big part of our ecosystem. We are working tirelessly, and sometimes “sleeplessly” to get this out.
Zac: 65% of the FX tokens from Token Generation Event (TGE) is already allocated for NPXS / NPXSXEM token holders, via staking and/or conversion. There are two separate projects with teams working on it. For the XPOS ecosystem to flourish, it requires a more scalable platform/solution which is the Function X ecosystem.
The Function X foundation will be announced in Q3 and hopefully it will be a pleasant surprise. We will have a solid team to grow the Function X ecosystem.
Zac: No, we think it’s mutually beneficial. If I may use an analogy, it’s like Google Search and Android, one product will lift the other up. The other example would be salt and pepper. When used in combination, it will drastically improve the taste of any particular dish.
Zac: Think of the role of f(x) coin like how ETH is. Everything or any service that’s taking place in the Function X ecosystem will require the f(x) coin.
For NPXS which will be ported over to the Function X blockchain once the Function X mainnet is up and running, its utility will remain the same. Any payment-relevant services or activities on the Function X blockchain will require NPXS, which on the Function X mainnet will be tentatively called NPXSFX.
Zac: The mechanism in place has been designed for the long term, so unfortunately, we can’t change the option. Users have the choice whether to convert his NPXS and NPXSXEM, or not, into f(x) coin, if a user chooses to convert he will receive 12% immediately and 8% each month for the next 11 months.
Zac: Soon we hope. As per our policy, we are unable to comment on listing dates, but with our established relationships with exchanges, we do hope it will be quick.
Zac: Each platform will have its own advantages, we welcome the competition and hope that more popular apps such as the decentralized Uber app can be conceived from Function X.
Zac: I would encourage all to have a look at our concept paper on functionx.io and the Medium blog post as the details are explained thoroughly there.
Zac: The 5,000 XPhones serves as a proof-of-concept, for manufacturers and developers to have a test drive. We want to partner with hardware/smartphone companies and telcos to build their own version of the blockchain phones with Function X. And we are still working hard to engage with the companies to push for future blockchain phones and strengthen our Function X ecosystem.
Zac: The XPhone comes preinstalled with the XWallet and with that, it can double up as a lite version of the XPOS with QR code and NFC Support.
Zac: XPOS Handy will be available in the coming weeks.

[Note: Although I'm a fan of their efforts, I'm not affiliated with Ocean Builders. Just passing this along, per their request. See the comments for Chad's statement. Please direct inquiries and offers of assistance to elwartowski@protonmail.com.]
We at Ocean Builders would first like to thank all of the people who have sent their support and help. We do appreciate it.
It has been reported that the first seastead, XLII, has been or is in the process of being demolished by the Thai navy. It is also being reported that our first residents, Chad Elwartowski and Nadia Summergirl are being held responsible for building the seastead and putting it in its current location.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Chad and Nadia were volunteers excited about the prospect of living free. They took pictures and videos of the whole process and posted it on social media. They spent a few weeks on the seastead and documented their adventure. They were in no way involved in the design, construction, decision on where it was located or any funding for the construction of the seastead. If you read the Reason article that describes the seastead accurately writes the facts:
” The team surrounding the project were early adopters of bitcoin, and with wealth acquired that way it has spent around $150,000 on the project “ Other news articles took this to mean that Chad Elwartowski funded the project because he was also an early adopter of bitcoin. Chad did not spend any of his own money on the project other than perhaps some sheets for the bed and he brought all of his own dishware when he moved in.
Chad and Nadia are safe for now but understand that Thailand is currently being run by a military dictator. There will be no trial if they are caught. They already demonstrated that by being judge jury and executioner of the historic very first seastead.
The reason Thailand was chosen was due to the large amount of tourism, its relatively calm seas and also because all of those involved love the Thai people and their culture.
It is claimed by the Thai navy through their media mouth pieces that the seastead is in a shipping lane. This makes it sound like there is heavy cargo traffic coming to Phuket. If anyone knows Phuket, they have one cargo port that gets maybe one or two cargo ships a week. They also admit that the seastead is in international waters, at least 12 nautical miles from land. This would infer that they are 12 nautical miles from land on either side of the seastead which would put the shipping lane at at least 24 nautical miles. The seastead is 6 meters wide. It has a very bright anchor beacon and has a registered AIS beacon which can be detected by any boat with any sort of navigation in the vicinity.
The area is a heavy fishing area with many many fishing boats trawling the water there daily. The fishing boat captains used to wave at Nadia and Chad as they passed by. They were in no way bothered by the floating home. The seastead takes up less space in the shipping lane than a fishing boat.
Needless to say. This event has doubled down our efforts and we can all clearly see that seasteading needs to happen now as tyranny creeps ever more deeply into our governments to the point that they are willing to hunt down a couple of residents residing in a floating house in middle of nowhere.
We hope this issue can be resolved diplomatically with the Thai government and are ready to talk to anyone in charge at any time. We have tried several times to talk to anyone but were always told that we have nothing to worry about because we are legally in international waters.
The April 15th sale of seasteads is to be postponed until we can get everything straightened out and figure out the best path forward for everyone.

You definitely have a friend who made a lot of money trading cryptocurrencies back in 2017 when the market was in a bull run. Even though he made good profits, was he really a good trader and investor? What defines a good trader? A good trader is someone who has a strong trading system and is self-discipline. One that is guided by probability and not possibility. Excelling well in trading using technical analysis also requires strong risk management.
Aside to the volatility, the cryptocurrency market is not very different from the traditional stock market as people make the market. Human psychology does not change, traders/investors today still face the same emotions of fear and greed.
This article will comprise of a three part series, going through 15 trading rules to follow when trading cryptocurrencies. If you have not read Part 1, this is the link to the first article:
We hope this article will give you the right knowledge to help you build up a strong trading system.
Buy the dips during the bull market!

Bitcoin was in a bull run in 2017 and there were lots of buying opportunities. In a bull run, when there are price pullbacks, it is the best time to load in more Bitcoins. That way you are able to increase your position size.

Let your profits ride higher!

Trading in the crypto space is high rewards and high returns. There was a trader who entered a trade for Ripple at $1.00 and sold at $1.30 after a few days, it was a great trade with 30% profits! However in the next few weeks, Ripple prices rose to $3!
One must adjust the profit percentage higher as trading cryptocurrencies are higher risk and therefore should set higher profit margins.
When you take profits, you should be humble and grateful for the good trade. Never let ego and pride take control of the trading.
Never be the last to take profits!

When your trades are profitable, it is good to take profits. One method is called laddering when you start taking profits along the way and downsize your positions. This also reduces the emotions if prices fall back down.
It is time to be pound wise and not penny wise. If you are near your profit target, you should start taking profits rather than waiting for the exact price to hit the target.
Never Short the Bull Market!
https://i.redd.it/3kzcu2vn3fs21.jpg
First, identify the trend, then trade with the trend. Back in 26th November 2017 when Bitcoin prices was about to reach $10k USD, all the traders and market analyst expect prices to hit the $10k USD mental resistance line and decided to short Bitcoin.
A lot of traders lost money placing that trade. Bitcoin prices later soared to about $19,400 USD on some exchanges.
Be impatient with your losing trades!

There is a commonly known term in the crypto space which is “HODL” that stands for hold on for dear life. This term came about because crypto prices are so volatile and traders have to stomach big losses by holding, and ride out the volatile market and hopefully one day make a profit.
This term HODL is actually not a good mentality for traders to hold on to losing trades. Trading requires discipline and setting of stop losses. If the stop loss is hit, have to cut your positions. In 2018, some of tokens loss about 90% of their valuation which can wipe out the entire portfolio just by holding. If you will like to store your tokens, you can check out Mars Wallet where you and store, send and trade in the all in one App securely!

I just got verified today!
It's not much to look at, but it's something I'm working on very hard! I'm releasing a bitcoin and crypto "for dummies" type of guide to make the transition into the crypto scene as seamless as possible for the people who are even a little interested!

Welcome to the Newbie Monday Weekly thread at /r/bitcoinmarkets!
This is a weekly thread where you can ask any basic questions related to bitcoin trading without shame or embarrassment.
Some rules:
First and foremost, check out the links on the subreddit bar on the right as well as our Wiki for answers to common questions and good reading material on basic guides, strategies and indicators.
There are no questions too stupid, as long as they are about what to do and how to do it in bitcoin trading. If you don't like a question being asked - you don't have to answer it.
Be respectful, no name-calling.
Try to source your answers or support with chart examples, links, etc where possible.
This is not a a thread to ask rhetorical questions about the state of bitcoin. "With the halvening coming up, isn't it stupid not to buy every dip?" or "With only 2.7TPS how can bitcoin support a global economy" are better questions for the weekly fundamental thread.

Blockchain adoption! blockchain adoption!! but one question still remains how efficient is the current blockchain platforms? Funny as it may sound, most blockchain platforms can't be compared with centralized systems like Visa; this is true because Visa have a high TPS when compared with current existing blockchain platforms. So how then can blockchain achieve mass adoption?
There is always a way out. In fact, that's the most amazing thing about blockchain technology, it empowers developers to always come up with ways to either enhance existing platforms, systems and applications or creating a new one entirely. Also, in all dealings or developments blockchain platforms are always decentralized which is one of the properties which makes it stands out from centralized systems.
But yet, what are these issues which have limited the mass adoption of blockchain technology? A study has shown that most people, in fact, a very high percentage of people lack the knowledge of what cryptocurrency and blockchain are all about let alone purchasing one. This lack of knowledge as well as low transactions speed shows that a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin sees at most 223,000+ transactions per day while centralized systems like Visa processes up to 150 million transactions daily. This agrees with the aforementioned comparison between centralized systems and decentralized blockchain platforms.
Also, current blockchain platforms are developed in such a way that, in order to get associated with them, one has to change his workflow or consumer behaviour. From a reality point of view, this might look tasking as most blockchain platforms are not user-friendly and complex, thus convincing one to change his workflow might be a hurricane task. Furthermore, most blockchain platforms have succeeded in frustrating users rather through the lack of transferability and portability within such platforms.
Through these issues, one can see that blockchain technology is indeed limited from reaching the masses or mass-market. With that being said, DigitalBits was created as a blockchain protocol thus being decentralized so as to drive blockchain into mass adoption.
DigitalBits aims to offer a protocol layer blockchain which will be able to facilitate liquidity of various cryptocurrencies while having the capacity to integrate with existing consumer applications through this way driving mass adoption. In order to stand out, DigitalBits has a built-in decentralized exchange which is built with a multi-hop Innovation thus creating a wonderful marketplace for cryptocurrencies.
DigitalBits will ensure there is no token inflation while token name certification services will be implemented, in the long run introducing transferability and portability to both new and existing cryptocurrencies.
DigitalBits also offers amazing solutions to the issues limiting blockchain from achieving mass adoption. DigitalBits believes that since most individuals in the world today have in their possession some legacy digital assets such as in loyalty and reward points, by tokenization of these legacy digital assets on its blockchain (DigitalBits) will increase the utility of the assets while the individual still maintains their already built behaviour. In the same vein, with DigitalBits protocol, there will be easy integration with existing consumer applications thus with the guide of blockchain technology helping to offer liquidity of those digital assets while mass adoption is assured.
The final result through DigitalBits will be;
a. The society will be aware or participate in the benefits of blockchain technology,
b. Users experience within the blockchain world will be improved,
c. More assets will be Introduced into the blockchain world.
DigitalBits is an outstanding blockchain platform having a built-in protocol which will be used to ensure services are enhanced through this way, leading to mass adoption of blockchain technology. The token of the platform is XDB with a maximum supply of 100 billion and will be used to facilitate payment or trade between two pairs to cryptocurrencies.
