Kucoin Issues a Warning After Bitcoin Diamond Soars 40x and Then Crashes

The bitcoin community is, appropriately, split when it comes to forks. Some see these airdropped coins, which are issued to existing bitcoin holders, as an egalitarian distribution strategy that creates an instant user base and active community. Others aren’t so sure, questioning the motives behind these projects and the lack of infrastructure support.

The mother of all green candles.
Bitcoin diamond (BCD) was distributed at a BTC rate of 10:1 when it was released in late November. Within days, the forked coin had settled into a price bracket around the $30 mark, and with major exchanges such as Bitfinex and Bittrex refusing to touch it, diamond seemed destined to remain languishing in the doldrums. But in the trading stakes – or rather the pump and dump stakes – every coin has its day, and Saturday was BCD’s.
In a matter of minutes, the coin multiplied 40x on Kucoin, sending it over $800 and causing one of the largest green candles ever witnessed on an exchange. The movement prompted Kucoin to issue the following warning to its customers:

Night of the Long Forks

Starting on the evening of Friday January 12, traders went long on many of the bitcoin forks that have been created in recent months. Predictably, the action seemed to emanate from the Asian markets, before impacting on all global exchanges that supported the coins. Due to the low price of many of these coins – bitcoin file costs around $0.2 for example – coupled with low trading volume, orchestrating pumps is relatively easy.

For anyone who FOMOs hard and piles into these rising green candles, however, there is a high risk of failure. BCD’s meteoric movement was evidently an orchestrated P&D. Many traders, unaware of the pump and dump taking place, will have had sell orders set for bitcoin diamond. Once the scheme kicked in, eating through that resistance was a doddle.
The majority of forked coins have few real use cases, but the events of the past 24 hours may entice traders to set and forget their airdropped coins from now on. Given the meagre sums to be made from trading these coins at their regular price, it makes more sense to set an unrealistically high sell order, just in case the unthinkable happens.

MYSTERY OF BERMUDA TRIANGLE FINALLY SOLVED

MYSTERY OF BERMUDA TRIANGLE FINALLY SOLVED   17 COMMENTS    23472 VIEWS Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved? Scientists believe they’ve solved the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle ― and it’s not UFOs or sea monsters. It’s another kind of monster: monster waves. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region in the North Atlantic that is generally bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Over time, a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared there under mysterious circumstances. According to “The Bermuda Triangle Enigma” on Britain’s Channel 5, scientists now believe conditions in that area were just right for massive rogue waves. “There are storms to the south and north, which come together,” said University of Southampton oceanographer Simon Boxall, per the Sun. “And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves.” Boxall said these rogue waves could reach 100 fee...

The Satoshi Revolution – Chapter 5: ICOs

The Satoshi Revolution: A Revolution of Rising Expectations. Section 2 : The Moral Imperative of Privacy Chapter 5: Implementing Crypto Privacy by Wendy McElroy ICOs: Peril or Menace or Expression of Satoshi Spirit? (Chapter 5, Part 2) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way… – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities Crypto advocates differ dramatically on the impact of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). They are a valuable dynamic that financed Ethereum’s smart contract; they are a blank cheque for scammers; they give government a wedge with which to separate cryptocurrency from freedom. The damnable thing is that all the assessments may...
