Robin Hood news is going to be a big help for the crypto game. Look forward to it.
Wow just saw that news. That’s why leaving cryptos on exchanges is never a good idea and we need to create separate wallets for important cryptos.
Thanks for both news and research works.
Lighting network will be the biggest milestone for BTC. It will be the difference between total domination or disappearance.
If BTC takes too long to implement it, it might be too late by then, because once BTC get surpassed in marketcap, I dont think it will ever recover.
Although I think the market is already strong enough to survive without it.
These are all good links to read up on! Thank You!
I love this article about Russia legalizing cryptocurrency trade
Thanks for sharing this news i like it...
I'm so glad to see some of those involved in the Bitconnect scam being sued. Even if the suit fails, hopefully the defendants will have to pay some huge legal fees, and maybe they'll be less likely to promote such crap again. I just wonder if they'll even be able to find all of those at the top of the pyramid.
Thanks for sharing this...time to pick out some interesting ones
Too many stories recently about scams, hacks, and lost money. We need some good news! At least crypto is coming to Robinhood. :)
hehehe, at least yeah :)
