RIP your tax accountant. Make sure he reports this correctly.I sold at my original investments worth at $17k put that money back in my bank acct, sold the rest at $14k, bought back in at $9k. Gonna ride it up again. Not a lot of money's worth but it's more fun than trading stocks, lol.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/15/...tocurrency-bitcoin-ether-unauthorized-chargesA growing number of Coinbase customers are complaining that the cryptocurrency exchange withdrew unauthorized money out of their accounts. In some cases, this drained their linked bank accounts below zero, resulting in overdraft charges.
In a typical anecdote posted on Reddit, one user said they purchased Bitcoin, Ether, and Litecoin for a total of $300 on February 9th. A few days later, the transactions repeated five times for a total of $1,500, even though the user had not made any more purchases. That was enough to clear out this user’s bank account, they said, resulting in fees.
“My bank account went from very comfortable to negatives balance, not to mention extra $5 charges, and overdraft fees,” the user wrote. “As a result my rent check bounced, and my bank went further into negative for a NSF charge for $25. My landlord is not a nice person and is on my CASE and I have nothing to offer him. I am FREAKING OUT.”
Coinbase representatives have been responding to similar complaints on Reddit for about two weeks, but the volume of complaints seems to have spiked over the last 24 hours. Similar complaints have popped up on forums and Twitter.
To be fair, issues like this come up with payment processors on occasion. Similar thing hit Blizzard just a week or few ago with their new WoW expansion release, tons of people were getting multi-charged due to traffic/payment processor issues with whomever they were working with.Interesting new development:

Obviously cryptocurrency customers should either deal with a more reputable company or set up a separate banking account for their cryptocurrency transactions.
@FelixDeCat, people are paying $10k now. That said, if I bought the dip, I would start scaling out of the dip purchases and lock in some of the profit.

Not if you keep spending all your money on weed.I'm gonna be so rich
He singled out payments as a sore spot: “The tech companies have to be … careful that they’re not trying to think their view is more important than the government’s view, or than the government being able to function in some key areas,” he said, noting the Valley’s penchant enthusiasm for “making financial transactions anonymous and invisible, and their view that even a clear mass-murdering criminal’s communication should never be available to the government.”
I don't see that as being specifically aimed at crypto. Only a few cryptos achieve anonymity. Looks to me like he's more taking a shot at Apple, at least with the latter statement.
Plus most crypto is coming from outside the Valley anyway.

Yeah, you'll probably never see Google or Apple release their own cryptocurrency, unless it was a joint program with the US government. They already have enough issues with government regulators to offer something that could be used for tax evasion or money laundering.
Right, that wasn't really aimed at cryptocurrencies in general, though perhaps you could say it does involve cryptography; the discussion about communications not being available is squarely aimed at the whole encryption/backdoor debate between Silicon Valley (and computer scientists in general) and the US government, who would like a backdoor into everything regardless of what they really means in the end.
These companies are taking privacy very seriously, but they are also being a little adversarial to the government, and this can bring more heat. Not that I think they are wrong, and Bill Gates isn't exactly demonizing the concept, he just says that they need to tread carefully so as to not provoke the beast that is the government.
They had Microsoft points, but it wasn't a decentralized blockchain currency like bitcoin or anything.Didn't xbox live have a currency? I remember buying those stupid points years ago.
You can store it in EC20 wallet or MyEtherWallet.is there an offline wallet for vechain?
You can store it in EC20 wallet or MyEtherWallet.
But rebranding is coming, Vechain will be on its own foundation, no longer tied to Ethereum. That means they're gonna have their own wallet soon this year, probably before end of summer.
Keep reading /r/vechain.
It's completely normal across ALL altcoin subreddits that their coins are going to the moon.Reading the subreddit reminds me of reading /r/dogecoin a few years ago. It’s filled with a bunch of kids convinced that particular flavor of crypto was going to the moon
At least of few of them seem to realize that might be a pump and dump scam going on with the pricing, so I’ll give them credit for that.
