  1. Damning statistics from yesterday's (October 23rd) trading appears to show Binance, the world’s largest exchange, partaking in wash trading. The past month or so has been a volatile time for Bitcoin’s price and as such the trading volumes. Bitcoin has fallen dramatically, most notably on the 25th of September and there was another drop in price on October 23rd at around 12:40pm UTC. With volatile markets like this, exchanges usually see a reflection of this in their statistics. For example, OkEx saw its BTC spot price decline by 5% within the initial 4 minutes session on October 23rd and the quarterly Futures contract, dumped by 6.2% during the same time window. OkEx was not special in terms of these dumps, most other derivative exchanges like Huobi and Bitmex also saw similar statistics. However, Binance, an exchange known for spot trading, did not see a similar drop. Binance had an insurance fund over 10mn USD (as of 23 Oct 2019) and their latest daily trading volume passed 0.8bn USD. Now Changpeng Zhao and other Binance supporters may say that their strategy and a bit of luck could set them apart from the other exchanges. However, a closer look at their data in comparison to other major exchanges reveals some potentially damning evidence. The evidence As previously mentioned, exchanges usually see a shift in trading volume when the market is volatile. As the figures show below, OkEx, Bitmex and Huobis trading figures for the price drop on the 25th September and 23rd October illustrate this. OKEX Bitmex Huobi However, Binance figures for the dates of Bitcoin price drops the trading differential is not as stark. This is most noticeable on the October 23rd date. Binance Certainly this is a little troubling, especially when you consider that one plausible reason for this is wash trading. The evidence only increases when you look at the data for a 4 hour period. BitMex Huobi OKex As you can see the statistic in terms of Bitcoin traded remains largely similar between Bitmex (30K-100K), Huobi (20K-70K) and OkEx (20K-80K). Yet for Binance it is eerily stable and is much lower, staying at just 5K. The pattern is also different to the other three exchanges. Coincidence? I think not. The damning statistics don’t end there, a closer look at order book depth also reveals some issues. As the figure below shows, BitMex had a quote size around 100 BTC on average ( [bid size + ask size] / 2), OKEx around 60 BTC while Binance was merely less than 2.5 BTC. Yet peculiarly, when OkEx and Binances futures trading volume was looked at, Binance had the greater amount. How can their order book be less, but their trading volume higher? For many this would be a clear indication that Binance had washed some trading off the books. Conclusion I suppose we will have to wait and see what the Blockchain transparency institute (BTI), the one who listed a number of exchanges but not Binance have to say about this matter. Although, their track record is less than perfect too, with undeclared funding and dubious research, so you shouldn’t hold your breath on any clear or trustworthy response.
  2. I am not surprised, the people handling Binance have never shown any level of intelligence and that explains why they keep messing everything up for everyone.

  6. Imagine buying your most precious knife and it being spoilt in no time. That is not what you want I know. Therefore, keep the knife away from water and it will not rust. Perhaps you made use of it and wash it, it should be dried thoroughly and kept in a dry place. Rather than using a tea towel to clean the knife, a paper towel should be used. The tea towel leaves the blade damp. To get yours, visit www.knivesmasters.com

  9. You don’t need to put time into commission kind of thing, as we need to be more serious about stuff. That is exactly why I prefer investing on the upcoming ICOs, as they carry far more potential. And, it is seriously pleasing to invest in Sphere. As they are amongst the BEST ICO right now. It’s near the takeoff (launch), so investment with them at present stage is absolutely mind boggling and can be highly rewarding for all parties involved.
  10. It is important to have total awareness about Bitcoin and the whole concept of it. Because without that it is not possible to go anywhere in this field. I have invested in the upcoming ICOs that got huge potential. And, it is great for me with Exsulcoin, as it’s absolutely amazing with their concept that is epic for the whole humanity due to base on Blockchain technology platform for refugee-led projects, which is just so amazing for the whole world.
  11. When it comes to investment, it is obvious that EVERYONE wants absolutely best, no less. But do we really get that? I wasn’t getting but now with Epiq Nights, I truly feel I have got into something that is going to change my life for GOOD! Epiq Nights have just launched their ICO Epiq Nights Coins; it is set to take the world of Crypto by storm and is instantly on the radar of all the major investors! Having a successful background, it makes them perfect pick for ANY investor.
  12. Before I start, I must say is that I have seen NOTHING like INVIA World before! The simplest reason for this is that they allow us the opportunity to be part of this giant Crypto field and able to do mining! Currently, I have their “PRO PLUS MINER” package and it is just EPIC! Their whole concept is amazing as it’s based on unique software that allows them to scan the entire crypto mining market for the most profitable coins, and then they adjust their equipment to it. After the plant has mined various Altcoins or Bitcoin, they flow into the INVIA World Kryptowallet and are switched to Ethereum or Bitcoin for us (customers), and this concept is known as actively managed cryptomining. So, this is just what I always wanted! That too without having to go through any complicated process for altcoinmining or bitcoinmining, so really Invia is the way forward for miners! BUT, that is not all, as you can have a chance to win a NEW iPhone X by joining it from here and purchase any package of your choice! Good luck to all!
  13. There are many ICOs that come and even go, it is all without any major impact, but now Qash has arrived! They not only are making a huge impact, but also promises to be revolutionary with their liquidity platform that aims to grow the cryptocurrency economy into a global, mainstream ecosystem. It is what makes this so special and is one of the most loved ICO. The major comfort is that they are licensed by Japan FSA, so is absolutely safe and secure! Quoine is launching a single globally-sourced trading platform (World Book) with an associated suite of services (Prime Brokerage) that brings together the entire global network of cryptocurrency exchanges to enable the highest level of liquidity to all markets! Now is the time to join in before it’s too late, they are to go live on 11/6/2017, so get in with this code 28yRFND156815 to get 20% bonus. Thank me later!
  14. Well, I am not against social cause but you got to be wise that charity is good but not for investment. I prefer genuine option and DFS (DigitalFantasySports) is just that. As they are FIRST ever Ethereum Blockchain based sports fantasy sport with their tokens to be playable and easily exchangeable within the fantasy sports world. And, they will host unique Fantasy Sports competitions on a daily basis allowing for individuals to exchange their winnings for other crypto investments.
  15. It is not about FIRST, it is about BEST and to me, and it is pretty much straight forward. BitConnect is amongst the HOTTEST option right now and there are so many benefits that one can have through it. They have sort of system that is better than bank with one able to get up to 120% returns per year through holding it and that’s by their shaking option!
  16. You might see many ICOs coming up on daily basis, but I bet you have seen NOTHING like Santacoin, it is just stunning! Firstly if there is any ICO that can be compared to Bitcoin then I can close my eyes and say it’s Santacoin. In fact, its better in terms of technology but obviously the price is mountain to floor kind. But, everything starts from zero only! This stunning ICO offers 8-level compensation system for referrals with one getting up to 8% for 1st level followed by 4% for 2nd and onwards, it is just historic ICO and will be mentioned very highly in years to come.
  17. I don’t think here you can exactly get proper info about investments, it is important to look everywhere. I have done just that and after all the research. I came across Sphere; it is really pleasant to be able to join such mighty upcoming ICO, as there is blockbuster written all over this! The whole setup and the management, it is really exemplary for other ICOs!
  18. There is little to doubt on the importance of Social websites now. As the whole world is involved in it and everything is measured through it. However, with so many social sites from Facebook to Twitter, LinkedIn to Reddit and many others, it is very hard to choose between them. But now with Snapcoins, we have all features combined in one that helps you stay updated with the latest news and happening. While we can create our own stories or make comments on others story, so join one of the BEST platforms that give complete freedom to users to do whatever they wish! Join now https://snapycoins.com
  19. Trading is always risky whether you do it in general or in Cryptocurrencies, so got to plan out our part very nicely. I rather prefer direct investment and that’s with the upcoming ICOs, as I consider investment with them very good. But it’s obvious that I don’t pick all instead only selective and Sphere is amongst the top names right now. They are ever near the pre-sale and with epic structure and idea of creating a decentralized social network; it helps us with making money and also secure our self in terms of privacy! A sure shot blockbuster thing to invest upon.
  20. When we talk about what type of broker is required, it is common that Australian brokers are amongst the top on the list to work with. The reason is absolutely crystal clear; it is because Australia is a country where everything is done is very strict and legitimate way! So, if any broker operates from there, it is highly likely to be good and got to have strong financial setup, as otherwise, it is not possible to become an Australian company. So just imagine how it is to be with the LEADING Australian Broker in the industry, which is FP Markets. Having over 12 years of experience servicing globally, they have won 35+ Awards with been licensed by ASIC to ensure further safety. The condition itself is worth in gold with having transparent structure removing any sort of manipulation, over 10,000 instruments to pick from, it is easily the largest range anywhere found, which is just remarkable. Furthermore, it's having zero spread, 1:500 leverage, high-quality trading platform and 24/5 active support, it’s not just a broker, and it’s much beyond it!
  21. Thanks for sharing your view mate; I think its great feature to have beginners starting up. I never buy into these freebies but with OceanicBliss company, I am forced to believe into it, as everything here is of the highest standard. And, it must be added that whether you withdraw lower amount or higher, the withdrawal time remains quick, which is all so much more impressive!
  22. Well, frankly speaking, I never asked anyone to join the, at least not with leaving their own brokers. I just shared my view but to your question, I do feel OceanicBliss is VERY special. They are amongst the BEST ECN brokers right now. With over 30 leading liquidity providers available to process market execution, it’s simply astonishing! But, it’s not just about the overall quality; it’s even same with their features and facilities. I won’t really bore anyone with singing praise about them, but the simplest answer is to try their free bonus with using FREE35 referral code, as it gets us $35 to trade. It will pretty clear everything for people who have even slightest of doubts!
  23. Forex is risky because we make it that way through our actions. There are so many things that we do incorrectly and eventually pay for it. So, the simplest way to reduce risk is via making the selection better and more importantly, it’s to make the process of selection better. This applies to whether we talk about education or selection of the broker. Back to original question. My experience has been from bad to great. As I started badly, I had minimum knowledge and experience which made me join companies who took advantage of me and damaged me badly financially. After that, I quitted for some time and then came back with only priority to learn well and gain experience. Eventually, it was due to the knowledge that I also found the right broker in OceanicBliss. Ever since then, my graph is on moving on the higher side.
  24. It’s down to the individual who is going it. If the person has sufficient knowledge and experience then I feel it is certainly going to be rewarding. It is irrelevant whether one do Forex or Binary, as it’s about the ability that means everything. I find t relatively easier through MarketServicesAustralia. With their marvelous MTP Trading Platform, it all works out rather superbly with their expert team doing all the research and analysis then providing us with complete step via step detail from entry to exit points and makes earning walk in the park.
  25. The best way to get into profitability zone and then also to stay here requires skills, it’s not task of impatient traders, if we don’t have determination, passion, skills and concentration then we can definitely make it far. I am truly lucky to be having a multiple award winning company OctaFX at my side; it’s just ideal company to work with. They have tools that work perfectly to make me into a winner with thrilling features that works all the time.
