    I bought at $37 thinking I was smug. I swear if I could have one superpower it would be to go back in time a few months and just dick slap myself. Thank God I haven't invested new money in 6 months but either way it hurts

    For the past week, someone/people have been trying to break into my Cryptopia account (see image). Sometimes the emails from Cryptopia telling me of the failed login attempt provide me with the option to lock my account for 24 hours. Because Crypto is sad and boring now, whenever I see the link I click it and lock my account.

    Any ideas on some things to do about this? I have 2FA turned on, my password is decent, but creating a separate email address seems silly because then I'd be completely unaware of the failed logins and I'd probably forget the email address. Currently, my thoughts are to hold for a few years and see how things are then, but this approach doesn't seem viable given the number of attempts that have been made on my account in the past week (30+).

    Why are you keeping your crypto on an exchange? The solution is to take it offline.

    It's Cryptopia. They're all shitcoins in the truest sense of the term. At one point that made sense. Because the account is locked, I can't even tell you what's on there but the current value ain't much. Consequently, not sure it's worth the effort to download a lot of shitcoin wallets in order to take them offline.

    Don't a lot of those have web wallets or something? Much better than leaving on an exchange, where either your own account could get hacked or more likely the entire exchange could get hacked and their losses could subsequently be socialized.

    Thanks, that's the type of idea I was looking for. I have purposely avoided looking at crypto lately so I can't remember what I have in Cryptopia. Maybe I'll do a combination of cold storage and web wallets. Forgot those were a thing.

    if you had any BTC in a wallet at the time of the fork where they matched your BTC with an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash - the value of the Bitcoin cash at the time of the fork is taxable as ordinary income for 2017. Not being treated like a stock split by the IRS

    Basis is $550 per BCH (I think was the initial trading price at the fork) for the initial shares of BCH that Coinbase and others basically gifted BTC owners when the fork happened.

    You get basis in it because you’re *supposed to put that amount in line 21 Other income on 1040

    We still expecting FCT to release news for Q1? I know there had been hints.

    I believe.
    That said, we have clients in the driver's seat. I know we are coming down to the (self imposed) wire, but I still believe.

    Is putting the clients in the "driver seat" with releasing these partnerships how it always works or is this the path Factom has chosen to take after the Honduras situation? And, thanks for the update. @PaulSnow(edited)

    Yes, but I sold all of mine awhile ago to pay my big tax bill this year and to add more to my FCT stack. :( I am turned off by their marketing techniques though, and if it wasn't for PwC and DNV GL being so involved I would assume it was a scam. Tim Draper just invested: http://ibridge.bjhd.gov.cn/gjzx/gjkjdt/201803/t20180322_1498904.html

    I also don't think anything other than the FCT/EC token system will work with big companies, governments, etc for many years. None of these entities will want to hold any crypto for a number of reasons.

    I'm basically BALLS DEEP in FCT and have been buying more recently. The only other coin I hold is BTC and I also like Monero.

    One of the biggest problems for a lot of crypto right now is it's being used less (as in on-chain transactions) than it was back in November and December. If we look at the NVT values, using BTC as an example but it widely holds true across most cryptos, they are substantially higher than they were back then, despite the price dropping substantially. So that means as the price has dropped, the on-chain transactions amounts have dropped even more. Even more puzzling is that for BTC specifically, the transaction fees are really low now while they were insane back in December, so theoretically people should have more incentive to use it now than they did then. Anyone got the solution? For BTC specifically does it have something to do with Roger Ver and Jihan Wu spamming the network? That would be very BTC-specific, though.

    What do you mean, "using BTC"? It's not a currency.
