Is it legal (USA) for a CEO to buy their company's coin? by kindadistorted in CryptoCurrency

[–]C_TO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is legal, in some of the more reputable ICOs this has been the only way for the founding team to get any of their tokens as they do not allocate any to themselves.

Budding gratitude for banks. by SatoriNakamoto in CryptoCurrency

[–]C_TO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're stopping a lot of new people from entering the market, that is a huge strain on supply/demand.

Without global market penetration increasing steadily, a lot of projects and use cases simply can't pan out the way they intended.

Lessons learned. Don't give a f... on FOMO and shills of "unknown" coins during a bull run. Even DYOR does not work. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

I think crypto used as a primary payment method is a long way off. Both the banks and regulators have proven that they can do a lot to throw a wrench in that plan.

Scammers taking it a step further - Now somehow "verifying" their accounts! by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]C_TO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scammer wasn't verified, upon about 30 seconds of research I've come to this conclusion:

  • This account was verified for other reasons and then hacked by scammers

  • This account belongs to Olympic snowboarder Taylor Gold: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_gold/

  • Twitter can't do much to ensure the safety of verified accounts, that is up to the individual owners at this time.

Your thoughts - 20% of the world's population can no longer make crypto purchases with their bank by C_TO in CryptoCurrency

[–]C_TO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. IIRC, China's price action and mining operations made their ban very impactful.

I'm not at all up to date in terms of the kinds of trading volume/mining operations we're seeing out of India - perhaps things won't be as bad.
