Youtuber has once again criticized the actions of day traders who deceive investors by promising profits that do not exist.

The day trade market is ‚full of picks‘ that promise easy profit, according to Felipe NetoNOTÍCIAS

 

The famous youtuber Felipe Neto published an alert on Twitter about day trade activity in the stock market. For him, the sector is „full of picks“ that fool users with the promise of easy profit from activities involving investments.

In addition, the famous says that most investors who Bitcoin Evolution act as day traders actually lose money in the market instead of closing trades at a profit.

Four tips to make it easier to make a statement on Day Trade
In this way, Felipe Neto stresses that one must be careful when acting as a day trader in the message published in social networks last Saturday (28). Youtuber explains that at least 80% of day traders lose money investing in the market.

Felipe Neto talks about investments
Felipe Neto commented on the day trade activity in the stock market in the social networks through an alert about this type of investment. According to youtuber, there are investors who act like „picks“, who promise easy profit with operations as day traders in the market.

The alert of the famous still talks about what would be a „wave“ of propagation of businesses related to the day trade market. Furthermore, Felipe Neto reminds that most of these investors „lose money“ instead of making a profit.

„Pure Charlatanism“, says youtuber Felipe Neto about coach courses
On the other hand, youtuber does not talk about the market for cryptomorphs. In fact, Neto emphasizes that the alert serves the specific performance of day traders in the stock market.

„Be careful with this wave that is coming from day trade (stock market). It’s full of naughty pickax wanting to take your money out saying it’s very easy to make money being a day trader“.

Day trader courses
The alert published by Felipe Neto on November 28, 2020 that talks about the performance of day traders in the stock market was not the first one released by youtuber recently.

Also on October 11, the famous published another statement, but this time about „coachs“ who offer courses on how to make money in the stock market.

 

Day Traders with Artificial Intelligence is the proposal of Clear Brokerage
In this case, youtuber used the default of the „millionaire mind“ channel coach to exemplify how unsuccessful investors can fool people with the promise of easy profit.

With over R$2 million in debt and accused of plagiarism, the failure of businessman José Roberto Marques, writer of the book „The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind“, was mentioned by youtuber in a publication that talks about paying day trader courses.

„(José Roberto Marques) asked for free justice claiming he couldn’t pay the procedural costs. Stop paying for courses and coachs who promise to teach you how to get rich“.

Cocaine addiction equals 99% loss
Although Felipe Neto pointed out that 80% of day traders close the day at a loss, this number may be even higher. As reported by the Cointelegraph, 99% of day traders lose money in the financial market.

The numbers are from a survey by the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) that conducted a study with over 98 thousand investors in the market. With the survey, the foundation found that 99.43 of them failed and this number corroborates with the alert issued by youtuber on Twitter about the performance of day traders.

Meanwhile, psychiatrist Hermano Tavares said that acting as a day trader in the market could even addict to cocaine. The expert said that daily investment in the market can activate the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine, just as the drug does in the body.

Sie sagten, dass die echte Übernahme der Anlageklasse „noch nicht einmal begonnen hat“.

Die Gründer der Gemini Crypto Exchange, Tyler und Cameron Winklevoss, sagten, dass Bitcoin ( BTC ) kürzlich in einem Interview mit Podcast-Moderator Peter McCormack 500.000 US-Dollar pro Münze erreichen wird

„Die Frage in unserem Kopf ist, dass es nicht so sehr um 500.000 US-Dollar geht, sondern wie schnell“, sagte Tyler McCormack während der Podcast- Episode vom 23. Oktober . Seine Dissertation berücksichtigt die Marktkapitalisierung von Gold und die theoretische Zentralbankallokation. „Ich würde behaupten, dass 500.000 Dollar Bitcoin Superstar eigentlich ziemlich konservativ sind und das Spiel noch nicht einmal wirklich begonnen hat“, bemerkte Cameron.

MicroStrategy und andere, die erhebliche Mengen an Bitcoin für ihre Treasury-Reserven kaufen , scheinen darauf hinzudeuten, dass sich der Markt allmählich verschiebt. „Was ist, wenn jedes Fortune 100- oder 500-Unternehmen das tut? Was ist, wenn die Zentralbanken damit beginnen?“ Fragte Cameron. „Es hat noch nicht einmal begonnen“, fügte er hinzu und analogisierte, dass Bitcoin in einem Baseballspiel mit neun Innings ganz unten auf dem ersten Platz steht.

„Die Wall Street ist noch nicht hier. Institutionen sind derzeit nicht in Bitcoin. Es ist seit einem Jahrzehnt ein Einzelhandelsphänomen. Die Wall Street spricht darüber, sie kennen Bitcoin, aber aus unserer Sicht sind sie nicht wirklich dabei, aber es beginnt zu passieren. “

Grundlage für das Interview war ein im August 2020 veröffentlichter Bericht von Tyler und Cameron mit dem Titel: The Case for $ 500K Bitcoin

Die Brüder begannen im Januar 2020 mit der Erstellung des Berichts, sagte Cameron im Interview mit McCormack.

„Wir haben darüber nachgedacht, was die Regierung in den letzten zehn Jahren mit dem US-Dollar und traditionellen Wertvorräten und Absicherungsgeschäften gemacht hat“, erklärte Cameron. Die Zwillinge stellten die Arbeit an dem Bericht im März ein, als COVID weltweit Fuß faßte. Sie nahmen das Papier einige Monate später wieder auf, nachdem sie die durch das Virus hervorgerufenen wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen bewertet hatten.

Tyler sagte, er und sein Bruder hätten 2012 mit dem Kauf von BTC begonnen. Ein Teil der Begründung für den Bericht beruhte auf der Bewertung der Wertentwicklung des Vermögenswerts in der umgebenden Wirtschaft im letzten Jahrzehnt.

Während im Laufe des Jahres 2020 immer mehr optimistische Prognosen für Bitcoin auftauchten , blieben einige skeptisch, wie beispielsweise der Goldwanze Peter Schiff.

Gli hacker di Darkside hanno donato fondi bitcoin del valore di 10.000 dollari (0,88 BTC) ricevuti dalle loro operazioni di riscatto a due organizzazioni no-profit ciascuna. Questo tipo di atto di Robin Hood proveniente dagli hacker ha lasciato perplessi gli esperti.

In quello che sembra essere un caso di hacker dal cappello nero che si spacciano per i Robin Hood di Internet, due organizzazioni caritatevoli hanno ricevuto misteriose donazioni di Bitcoin Rush da un gruppo di criminali informatici.

Il gesto generoso vale 0,88 BTC (circa 10.000 dollari), con gli hacker donatori che vogliono „rendere il mondo un posto migliore“.

Hackerare le corporazioni per restituire alla società?

Secondo l’ultimo rapporto pubblicato dalla BBC, questo atto altruistico di benevolenza da parte degli autori online ha lasciato perplessi gli esperti di cybercriminalità. E perché no? Questa mossa di Robin Hoodesque è una novità assoluta e non segue affatto il modello MO (read modus operandi) degli hacker di Darkside.

Due enti di beneficenza – The Water Project e Children International, hanno infatti ricevuto donazioni bitcoin del valore di 10.000 dollari (0,88 BTC) ciascuno. I robin hood online hanno condiviso le ricevute per lo stesso sul web oscuro.

Children International ha espresso la sua opposizione a questa donazione e ha detto che non l’accetterà. Parlando con la BBC, un portavoce che rappresenta le organizzazioni no profit ha detto:

Se la donazione è legata a un hacker, non abbiamo intenzione di tenerla. Gli hacker probabilmente sapevano che gli enti di beneficenza non avrebbero approvato il loro gesto di „restituzione alla società“.

In un recente post sul blog hanno scritto:

Pensiamo che sia giusto che una parte del denaro che le aziende hanno pagato vada in beneficenza.

Non importa quanto pensiate che il nostro lavoro sia pessimo, siamo felici di sapere che abbiamo contribuito a cambiare la vita di qualcuno. Oggi abbiamo inviato (sic) le prime donazioni.

Cosa pensano gli esperti di criminalità informatica di questa donazione Bitcoin?

Per esperti come Brett Callow, questo atto di benevolenza degli hacker non aveva senso. Dice che la motivazione concreta per aver elargito una parte della taglia del riscatto in beneficenza non è affatto chiara. Le intenzioni degli hacker dietro questo atto sono equivoci e inusuali.

Ciò che i criminali sperano di ottenere facendo queste donazioni non è affatto chiaro. Forse aiuta ad alleviare il loro senso di colpa? O forse per motivi egoistici vogliono essere percepiti come personaggi alla Robin Hood piuttosto che come estorsori senza coscienza.

Qualunque siano le loro motivazioni, è certamente un passo molto insolito ed è, per quanto ne so, la prima volta che un gruppo di riscatto ha donato in beneficenza una parte dei suoi profitti.

Gli hacker hanno usato il blocco delle donazioni per donare BTC

Come da rivelazione, gli hacker hanno sfruttato la piattaforma di facilitazione della donazione di criptocostume, The Giving Block (TGB), per effettuare le donazioni bitcoin. Perché la piattaforma permette a chiunque abbia fondi BTC/cripto (ETH, LTC) di donare in forma anonima. I dati rivelano che 67 enti di beneficenza utilizzano il servizio dello studio per ricevere donazioni di bitcoin e cripto.

Si è scoperto che il TGB non era realmente a conoscenza della fonte di questi fondi bitcoin. In un’intervista sulla questione, il TGB ha assicurato di restituire la BTC donata ai legittimi proprietari. Se avessero scoperto che gli hacker avevano fatto quelle donazioni. Hanno detto:

Stiamo ancora lavorando per determinare se questi fondi sono stati effettivamente rubati.

Se si scopre che queste donazioni sono state fatte usando fondi rubati, inizieremo naturalmente il lavoro per restituirli al legittimo proprietario.

TGB ha aggiunto:

Il fatto che abbiano usato il crypto renderà più facile, non più difficile, catturarli.

Le donazioni anonime da fonti illecite puntano al riciclaggio di denaro: Chainalysis

Anche Philip Gradwell, un investigatore di crittovalute che lavora con Chainalysis, ha commentato questo caso. Ha detto che le donazioni anonime di BTC/criptodoni sono discutibili, in quanto spianano la strada al dilagante riciclaggio di denaro sporco. Soprattutto se sono i cattivi attori a fare quelle donazioni.

Ha impressionato il fatto che i funzionari della legge hanno sviluppato una certa abilità nel tracciare il movimento dei fondi criptati da un portafoglio all’altro. Ma è abbastanza difficile capire a chi appartenga effettivamente il portafoglio. Ed è per questo che Philip la pensa così:

Tutte le aziende di cripto-valuta hanno bisogno di una gamma completa di misure anti-riciclaggio, incluso un programma KYC (Know Your Customer) di controlli di base sul background, in modo che possano capire chi c’è dietro le transazioni che la loro attività facilita.

Per quanto riguarda le organizzazioni no-profit, disprezzavano l’idea che gli hacker facessero donazioni da fondi mal guadagnati. Non si sentirebbero a loro agio e non accetterebbero mai „consapevolmente“ fondi provenienti da fonti spurie. Questo è quello che hanno detto alla BBC.

The breakout of the crypto reserve currency Bitcoin could end the sideways phase in favor of the bulls. The overall market is also benefiting from the rising Bitcoin Up rate. The BTC dominance is tending sideways due to the emerging strength of the altcoins.

Price analysis Bitcoin (BTC) KW42

Price analysis based on the value pair BTC / USD on Coinbase

A first directional decision was made this week. The bulls managed to dissolve the week-long sideways corridor to the top and initiate a subsequent rise to 11,740 US dollars. In the last two trading days, the BTC price corrected slightly and is currently trading at 11,423 US dollars. For now, the chances of a further increase towards $ 12,000 are good. Only a fall back below $ 11,099 at the end of the day would cloud the chart again.

Bullish scenario (Bitcoin price)

If the bulls manage to stabilize the BTC price above the green box, they will very likely launch a new attempt to climb towards the resistance at $ 11,806 in the coming days. A break of this chart level brings the pink resistance line at $ 12,088 directly into view. A break above this mark on a daily basis activates new bullish price targets at $ 12,307 and $ 12,492. In the area of ​​the August high, renewed resistance from the bears is to be expected. If investors manage to take advantage of the positive mood in the overall market and also break through the USD 12,492 dynamically, a break through to the maximum price target of USD 12,912 is conceivable.

Bearish scenario (Bitcoin rate)

The bear could not use the directionless movement of the last few weeks to build up sustained selling pressure. As long as no reversal formation is formed, the bears are left behind for the time being. Only when the BTC price slides back below $ 11,099 could this represent a false breakout on the upside. If the Bitcoin price subsequently falls back below the EMA20 (red) at 11,007 US dollars, the first price target on the downside is 10,803 US dollars. If this support is also abandoned, the area between 10,613 US dollars and 10,535 US dollars becomes of central importance. The EMA100 (yellow), a horizontal support line and the green upward trend line run here. Strong resistance from the cops can be expected in this area.

If the bears manage to push the BTC rate below this cross-support and also break the low at 10,360 US dollars, the bottom edge of the trend channel at 10,052 US dollars will move into the focus of investors again. The moving average of the last 200 days (EMA200) (blue) also runs here, which is why this support mark is to be seen as the maximum price target on the bottom for the time being.

Le président américain Donald Trump a quitté le centre médical où il a été soigné pour COVID-19 et est retourné à la Maison Blanche. Bitcoin Trader a suivi les gains et les transactions de Wall Street au-dessus de 10750 $.

Au cours des dernières 24 heures, Bitcoin a continué à augmenter progressivement de valeur et se situe maintenant au-dessus de 10750 $. La hausse des prix fait suite à des gains impressionnants enregistrés à Wall Street lors de la séance de négociation d’hier, après l’annonce du retour du président américain Trump à la Maison Blanche.

Bitcoin suit les stocks

Comme CryptoPotato l’a rapporté hier, Bitcoin a touché 10750 $ à la suite de l’annonce de la libération du président américain Donald Trump de l’hôpital plus tard dans la journée. L’actif a diminué de valeur peu de temps après, mais il a recommencé à augmenter au cours des dernières 24 heures suite à l’optimisme de Wall Street.

Le président Trump a en effet quitté lundi le centre médical militaire national Walter Reed et est retourné à la Maison Blanche, où il a enlevé son masque, bien qu’il soit toujours porteur du virus COVID-19. Bien que CNBC et d’autres médias traditionnels l’aient qualifié de «départ imprudent», les marchés boursiers ont réagi par des gains immédiats.

Wall Street a clôturé la séance de négociation d’hier dans le vert. Le Dow Jones Industrial Average a fini avec une augmentation de 1,7%, le S&P 500 avec 1,8% et le Nasdaq Composite les a tous devancés en bondissant de 2,3%.

Il semble que la corrélation accrue de Bitcoin ces derniers temps avec Wall Street ait également eu un impact sur la crypto-monnaie. Après une chute rapide à 10620 $ (sur Binance), BTC a progressé et a culminé à 10800 $. Même avec le léger retour depuis lors, BTC est toujours au-dessus de 10750 $.

Calme parmi les Altcoins à grande capitalisation

Les altcoins à plus grande capitalisation sont restés relativement stagnants sur une échelle de 24 heures. Ethereum a bondi avec moins de 0,5% et se négocie à près de 355 $. Bitcoin Cash (0,5%), Chainlink (0,2%), Crypto.com Coin (0,5%) et Litecoin (0,3%) ont également légèrement augmenté en valeur depuis hier.

Ripple est la seule exception avec des gains plus impressionnants. XRP a augmenté de plus de 3% et s’approche de 0,26 $.

En revanche, Binance Coin et Polkadot sont tous deux dans le rouge après une baisse similaire de 1,5%. BNB est en baisse à 28,5 $, tandis que le DOT se négocie à 4,1 $.

Même les altcoins de moyenne capitalisation sont restés calmes sans les représentants du club d’augmentation des prix à deux chiffres. Zcash a le plus augmenté en valeur depuis hier, avec 7,5%. Monero (6,1%) et Quant (5%) viennent ensuite.

Cependant, quelques baisses à deux chiffres sont indiquées. Après quelques jours de pompes à prix notables, PumaPay a chuté de 90% aujourd’hui. Uniswap vient ensuite avec une baisse de 13%, suivi par Synthetix Network Token (-12%) et HedgeTrade (-10%).
