End of the Run of Nigeria’s biggest Crypto Ponzi Schemes and Kenyan version too Amazon Web Worker. Market thoughts as of 31. 05. 2021
Bitcoin traditionally spent the weekend quite stormy. On Saturday, it traded above 36K, reaching a high of 36500 on Binance Exchange, yesterday evening it began to fall and fell to 34250. Currently Bitcoin is trading at $34600 as at time of writing this review. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.4 Trillion and a BTC dominance index 43.2%
Stock markets opened higher. At the moment, futures for the S&P 500 are slightly positive, Asian indices are trading in different directions, gold and silver have risen in price.
For Bitcoin, an alternative version of the Friday forecast worked out. We were unable to stay above 37K and went down to a decline. Then there were several attempts to gain a foothold above 36K, but did not work, now we are trying to stay above 34500. The capitalization of the entire market dropped below 1.5 trillion, altcoins follow Bitoin, there is no positive yet.
Today it is very important to show growth in order to close the month on the positive. If we cannot gain a foothold above 36K, or better than 37K, then we will start the decline again, the first strong support is at 34K, moving below will return the price to 32-30K. A close above 36-37K will provide an opportunity for sustained growth to 40K and above.
To some interesting news, Indian banks are advising clients to follow RBI guidelines and refrain from cryptocurrency transactions. Although crypto trading isn’t illegal in India, big banking institutions in the country are sending their customers advisories to refrain from indulging in crypto transactions. As reported by a local news publication The Hindu, many banks are sending formal warnings to their customers for digital currency transactions.
The banks are citing the 2018-rule from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that doesn’t permit banks to indulge in crypto exchanges. A number of users have reported the same on Twitter. Account-holders in India’s largest banking institution – HDFC Bank – tweeted that they have received cautionary emails referring to crypto transactions from their account.
This same bank released a report stating that cryptocurrencies might soon get legal status in the country. The banking giant also said that Bitcoin (BTC) could emerge as a potential asset class just like Gold. Other banking institutions also initiated similar actions to the extent of suspending or cancelling the credit cards if users use them for transacting on crypto trading platforms. Some banks have asked customers to fill a self-declaration form stating that they won’t be involved in crypto transactions. Last year, the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban on crypto transactions put by the RBI in 2018. Since then, there’s been no formal announcement from the RBI. The Finance Ministry of India is reportedly working on crypto laws for the country. Quite a similar phenomenon with Kenya. Source
The lynchpin of Inksnation, one of Nigeria’s biggest crypto Ponzi Schemes, Omotade-Sparks Amos Sewanu, has been captured. According to Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC). The alleged mastermind of a huge pyramid investment scheme through which many citizens were defrauded of monies to the tune of over Thirty Two Million Naira, thats about US$78,045. He had floated a phony online digital currency called "Pinkoin" which lured many Nigerians to invest between One Thousand Naira to One Hundred Thousand Naira with a promise of unrealistic returns and went ahead to distribute a payment card called "Pink Card'' to further confuse his victims. Omotade-Sparks equally made false claims that he was in partnership with the EFCC to persuade people to invest in his devious scheme. The scammer was not licensed to operate a financial institution. He will be arraigned in Court at the conclusion of investigation. Source.

Just yesterday a Kenyan version of a ponzi scheme AWS not related in any way to American company Amazon was out to a halt after the perpetrator was nabbed at JKIA. From a dubious app named Amazon Web Worker. Scrolling through social media, you will come across heartbreaking stories where people invested their hard earned money including rent, school fees and life savings all in the hope of reaping heavily from the app. “Some of the crestfallen investors trooped to DCI headquarters to seek assistance from our detectives, who immediately swung into action,” the statement added.
“Detectives managed to link Stacey to the syndicate after painstaking investigations revealed that she had pay-bill accounts in her name, that had a balance of Ksh50 million, believed to be deposits made by the unsuspecting victims.” Serious Crimes Detectives are currently pursuing other suspects, believed to be part of the syndicate. Meanwhile, Stacey is in Police custody pending arraignment in court, on charges of money laundering, computer fraud among other charges. Source.
Stay safe out there, one has to work to get gains..nothing comes for free. The only way to safeguard yourself is self education and follow believable people on a venture you are interested in. Remember, you must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge

New historic record for bitcoin trading on PayPal as a 4th US Stimulus payment Maybe Underway. Effects? Thoughts on the market on 1st June 2021
Bitcoin continued its growth during the day, a high of 37, 894 was registered on Binance Exchange.. It was not possible to gain a foothold above 37K and Bitcoin went down. At the time of writing this review, the main cryptocurrency is trading around 36850. Total Current Crypto Market capitalization of $1.6 Trillion, with BTC dominance index of 42.1%.
The stock market ended Monday trading with growth. The Dow Jones climbed 0.19%, the S&P 500 remained flat, the NASDAQ climbed 0.09%. Gold and silver are also on the rise. The dollar index dropped 0.24%.
On the cryptomarket, the option with fixing above 36K worked, the price even broke through the resistance zone at 37K and reached 37894 on Binance from where a sell off began. We are now trying to hold at 36500. Market capitalization returned above 1.5 trillion, some altcoins showed a 20% growth.
The market situation resembles the calm before the storm, when the price can shoot in any direction at any moment. There is no particular negative news background, the problems with China have already been digested, the US is firing up the printing press, the fourth stimulus cheque is in the offing. Most institutions who bought bitcoin are not selling any, but only accumulate on the corrections and dips, weak hands are going away. All this should give impetus to new short term highs, or better put dead cat bounce.
FYI: Based on the past Stimulus Cheques issuance in the US, drilling down a survey done by Mizuho Securities, found around 20% of check recipients expected to allocate as much as 20% of their checks to bitcoin and/or stocks, while 13% expected to allocate 20% to 80%, and 2% expected to put 80% or more into the markets. And between bitcoin and equities, cryptocurrency was by far the more popular choice.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot overcome the 38K resistance, then we can go back to 35-34K. The breakout of 38K will give us the pace for further growth. The main support levels are 36-35K, the main resistance levels are 37500-38000.
Bitcoin trading volumes on PayPal hit a new all-time high. In just one day, over $ 300 million worth of BTC were sold on the app.. This is happening on the backdrop of the US Treasury proposing expanding the reporting requirements for brokers in relation to cryptocurrencies. This is stated in the explanations to the draft budget for 2022.
According to the department, with the development of the digital asset market, taxpayers were able to avoid paying taxes. "Tax evasion using cryptoassets is a rapidly growing problem," the Finance Ministry said. Such regulations shall oblige crypto companies to transfer customer data to the IRS.
On a positive note the Reserve Bank of India reminded banks that cryptocurrencies are not illegal. Source.

Good morning, Point Of CAUTION! lets be careful with any strange tokens you receive strangely into your wallet that you know nothing about. This is on the likes Trustwallet, and Metamask.
If you interact with the token contract by selling the tokens you have opened your wallets for scammers. You will lose ALL your funds soon. Once you sell you have granted the contract unlimited access to your wallet.
What to do?
Simply go to your trust wallet, search for the token and disable it from showing in your token list. Stay safe👍
Ensure you always do your own research and adhere to your risk managment strategies. 🙏.

#Coinbase lists Dogecoin and #Localbitcoins adds IT as PAYMENT METHOD. Thoughts on the market 2. 6. 2021
#Bitcoin spent the last 30 hours in the 37400-35600 range. Corrections to 35K were quickly redeemed, there were several attempts to gain a foothold above 37K, but did not lead to success. At the time of writing this review, the main cryptocurrency is trading at around 36,600. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.6 Trillion, with BTC dominance index of 41.8%.
The stock market finished trading on Tuesday in different directions. The Dow Jones climbed 0.13%, the S&P 500 lost 0.05%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.09%. The volatility index rose 6.80% to 17.90. The dollar index fell 0.09% to 89.910
The fact that Bitcoin was unable to overcome the 38K resistance yesterday, is bad. Not being able to go beyond 38-40K may give rise to a new sell off. . On the other hand, Bitcoin found support at 35K and returned above 36K, which is in favor of continuing to try to take 38K.
Therefore, the plan for today remains the same as yesterday.(https://t.me/decryptedge/550)
Coinbase will add DOGE tomorrow June 3rd, and has also been added to LocalBitcoins. Interesting times indeed. FYI: Unlike Bitcoin, which is designed to be scarce, Dogecoin is intentionally abundant — 10,000 new coins are mined every minute and there is no maximum supply. Coinbase also announced that it is connecting its Coinbase Card debit card to Apple Pay and Google Pay.
One of the largest peer-to-peer cryptocurrency marketplaces, LocalBitcoins, has expanded its portfolio of available payment methods with the inclusion of Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), and more. Founded in 2012, and based in Helsinki, Finland, facilitates over-the-counter trading of local currency for bitcoins. The company announced the addition of several new virtual assets. Namely, those include the two most widely utilized stablecoins – Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) and some of the most popular tokens lately – Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), and Dogecoin (DOGE). The firm’s statement outlined the significant demand for these coins coming from users. “You asked, we delivered! Some highly anticipated altcoins have now been added as payment methods!” Additionally, LocalBitcoins has added new payment processors, including PaySera, PAYSEND, Vodafone Cash, Airtel Money, and more.

Search Giant Google Lifts 2018 Ban on Crypto Exchange, Wallet Advertisements. Thoughts on the market 03.06.2021
Bitcoin, yesterday moved in the range of 36000-38000 during the day. An attempt to gain a foothold above 38K last night did not lead to success and Bitcoin saw a decline. As at the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at around 37,800. Total Crypto Market capitalization of $1.7 Trillion with BTC dominance index of 41.5%.
The stock market ended Wednesday trading with growth. The Dow Jones is up 0.07%, the S&P 500 is up 0.14%, and the NASDAQ is up 0.14%. Gold and silver also rose. The dollar index added 0.10% and climbed to 89.905.
Bitcoin continued its growth during the day, reaching a high of 38225 on Binance exchange. It was not possible to gain a foothold above 38K and Bitcoin went down to 37K, but it has already rebounded and chances are a repeat of the same. Altcoins are showing steady growth, market capitalization is above 1.7 trillion, dominance index is 41.5% and continues to fall, which indicates continued growth of altcoins.
The priority option for today is Bitcoin in the range of 36000-41000. An alternative option is a spillage below 36K and a possible 35-34K test in case of a negative external background.
The Google search engine will allow crypto exchanges and wallets to advertise in the United States, and given what competition is currently unfolding among crypto projects, this is a million-dollar investment in the popularization of cryptocurrency.
This is clear business revenue move, just last month we shared about https://t.me/decryptedge/532 where searches like “Should I sell my crypto” in the US alone had skyrocketed by 400%. In this new move, exchanges and wallets will be allowed to advertise their products, so long as they meet certain requirements and are approved by Google, beginning Aug. 3, the update stated.
To be approved, exchanges and wallets must be a federal- or state-chartered bank or be registered as a Money Services Business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and as a money transmitter. The businesses must also comply with legal requirements and Google Ads policies. Talk about regulations. Google will still not allow “ads for initial coin offerings, DeFi trading protocols, or otherwise promoting the purchase, sale or trade of cryptocurrencies or related products,” according to the update.
With such news it wouldn't be a surprise that by the end of this month Bitcoin will cost in the upper level of 45-50K, reason being there are objective reasons for this.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Joins XRP Army in Criticizing SEC as US Elevate Ransomware Investigations To Similar Priority Level As Terrorism Investigations.
Thoughts on the market 04. 06. 2021
Bitcoin moved in the range of 39400-37100 during the day. There were several attempts to gain a foothold at 39K, but have not yet yielded results and at the time of writing this review, Bitcoin trading at about 36,751. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.7 Trillion, with BTC dominance index of 41.5%.
The stock market ended with a fall on Thursday. The Dow Jones fell 0.07%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.36%, and the NASDAQ fell 1.03%. The volatility index rose 3.20% to 18.04, while the dollar index rose 0.64% to 90.480.
On the cryptomarket, the priority version of yesterday's analysis worked out. Bitcoin remained in the indicated range, there were several attempts to gain a foothold at 39K, but so far have not yielded results. A few days ago we mentioned that such a movement can last several more weeks and we need to overcome 40K in order to break out of the range in which we are stuck.
The priority option for today is Bitcoin in the 37,000-40,000 range. An alternative option is a correction below 37K, in which case we can go to 35K. The main support levels are 37-36K, and resistances are at 38500-39500 and 40K.
In the wake of the economically damaging ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline, the US Department of Justice will elevate investigations of ransomware attacks to a similar priority level as terrorism investigations, senior DOJ officials told Reuters.
According to Reuters, internal guidance sent on Thursday to U.S. attorney’s offices stated that information about ransomware investigations in the field should be centrally coordinated with a recently created task force in Washington.
“We’ve used this model around terrorism before but never with ransomware,” acting deputy attorney general John Carlin told Reuters. Source.
Lastly, Billionaire Mark Cuban has joined a choir of critics of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in his recent tweet. The "Shark Tank" host has slammed former SEC attorney John Reed Stark for having "absolutely no understanding of crypto." Cuban says that crypto will continue to positively impact businesses more than the regulator.
The speed at which Cuban has turned from a skeptic into a crypto advocate is astonishing. In December, for instance, he himself claimed that bananas had more utility than Bitcoin because they have potassium. Now, he has outlined a myriad of use cases for crypto:
Weather insurance. Money transfer. Provenance for digital files. Marketplace efficiency for digital content. Personal banking. Prediction markets. Non-fractionalized banking. Structured financial products. Fractionalization of assets. Gaming rewards. Soon ticketing.
Interesting times indeed, to conclude, the so-called (twitter) crypto influencers... don't follow them blindly.. personally I prefer real Bitcoin OG's. For instance @aantonop He has turned away lots of offers, realy a lot of lucrative offers to shill some projects. Unfortunately most of the crypto influencers or skeptics turned bitcoin crusaders leverage on their massive followers to pump and dump coins.

A few days ago we mentioned that such a movement can last several more weeks and we need to overcome 40K in order to break out of the range in which we are stuck.
The priority option for today is Bitcoin in the 37,000-40,000 range. An alternative option is a correction below 37K, in which case we can go to 35K. The main support levels are 37-36K, and resistances are at 38500-39500 and 40K.
In the wake of the economically damaging ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline, the US Department of Justice will elevate investigations of ransomware attacks to a similar priority level as terrorism investigations, senior DOJ officials told Reuters.
According to Reuters, internal guidance sent on Thursday to U.S. attorney’s offices stated that information about ransomware investigations in the field should be centrally coordinated with a recently created task force in Washington.
“We’ve used this model around terrorism before but never with ransomware,” acting deputy attorney general John Carlin told Reuters. Source.
Lastly, Billionaire Mark Cuban has joined a choir of critics of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in his recent tweet. The "Shark Tank" host has slammed former SEC attorney John Reed Stark for having "absolutely no understanding of crypto." Cuban says that crypto will continue to positively impact businesses more than the regulator.
The speed at which Cuban has turned from a skeptic into a crypto advocate is astonishing. In December, for instance, he himself claimed that bananas had more utility than Bitcoin because they have potassium. Now, he has outlined a myriad of use cases for crypto:
Weather insurance. Money transfer. Provenance for digital files. Marketplace efficiency for digital content. Personal banking. Prediction markets. Non-fractionalized banking. Structured financial products. Fractionalization of assets. Gaming rewards. Soon ticketing.
Interesting times indeed, to conclude, the so-called (twitter) crypto influencers... don't follow them blindly.. personally I prefer real Bitcoin OG's. For instance @aantonop He has turned away lots of offers, realy a lot of lucrative offers to shill some projects. Unfortunately most of the crypto influencers or skeptics turned bitcoin crusaders leverage on their massive followers to pump and dump coins.

Not a popular review but a clean break below 30k on BTC we could see sell offs upto 14k. That would be around an 80% bubble pop from the highs, which would be consistent with previous BTC cycles. If we're instead going much higher, we should find support in the 30-40k area. Could be weeks to months before the uptrend resumes. NFA. 🙏. #Decryptedge
Over 30% of Britons Would Invest in #Cryptocurrencies if it was Regulated, #ElSalvador Looks to become the 2nd Country to adopt #Bitcoin as Legal #Tender. Thoughts on the market 06.07. 2021
#Bitcoin rolled back to 34K over the weekend, reaching local lows of 34800 on #Binance exchange. The correction was bought out and the main cryptocurrency went up. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at 36,500. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.67 Trillion, and BTC dominance index of 41.0%.
Equity markets opened slightly lower. As of now, S&P 500 futures are down 0.12%. Gold, silver and oil are also falling. Asian indices are trading in different directions.
Bitcoin worked out an alternative version of Friday and Saturday analysis with a price drop below 36K, and price retracing to 34800 on Binance, now it has returned above 36K. Altcoins also sank, with ETH falling below $ 2,600 and BNB below $ 400.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin cannot break through the 37K resistance and gain a foothold at this level, we can again go to 35,500-35,000. But I still expect a breakthrough towards 37K and higher, which will be the priority option (again, if there is no FUD)
Good. El Salvador will be the 2nd country to declare Bitcoin legal tender, President Naib Bukele announced this during the Bitcoin 2021 conference. And while El Salvador is a small country, this is a move that could cause a domino effect. Contrary to news going around Japan was the 1st country to treat Bitcoin as legal tender. In 2016, Japan amended its Payment Services Act and Fund Settlement Law in a landmark legislative action that would forever alter the face of crypto regulation in Japan. An extract from the documents reads:
Article 2, paragraph 5 of the amended PSA defined Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as:
1. Property value that:
– can be used by unspecified persons for payment of equivalent value for purchased goods, rental fees, or services,
– can be purchased by or sold to unspecified persons
– is transferable via an electronic data processing system (limited to property values that are stored electronically on electronics, excluding currency and currency denominated assets); or
2. Property value that can be mutually exchangeable for one above with unspecified persons and is transferable via an electronic data processing system.
Interesting: Square is investing $ 5 million in sustainable bitcoin mining by startup Blockstream, a Bitcoin infrastructure startup, announced their collaborative effort with Square, Inc., the financial services and digital payments company headed by Jack Dorsey, to build an open-source, solar-powered Bitcoin mining facility at one of Blockstream’s mining sites in the United States.
Lastly, finance outlet This is Money, in conjunction with Coinbase, carried out research to ascertain the interest of Britons investing in cryptocurrencies. The study revealed over a third of the British public is apathetic to buying into cryptocurrency due to a lack of regulation. However, half of those surveyed aged between 30 and 39; declared more accessible information would make them keener on investing.
