Nonsense in this industry * just unbelievable

* - in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry

One of the behavioral strategies for cryptocurrency traders of different levels is to copy the actions of crypto-whales. “Crypto kit” - a person or group of people with access to a wallet with a large amount of cryptocurrency. These can be investment funds, that is, entire financial organizations, as well as individuals. It is assumed that “whales” have or may have “insiders,” so their actions often serve as a signal to the entire community. It was in order to track their activities in September 2018 that a Whale Alert Twitter account was registered .



In the wake of rumors of the death of the chairman of the DPRK state council, Kim Jong-un, on April 25, Zack Voel, journalist of the authoritative cryptocurrency portal Coindesk.com, tweeted on Whale Alert and posted a message about the movement of 65,091 BTC (almost $ 600 million), which belong to the ruler of North Korea. Naturally, it was a joke. However, the media around the world picked up this information, not suspecting a trick and not bothering to check their source. By posting the



same tweet , Zack went to bed. In the morning a surprise awaited him. The joke went very far when, already realizing that he had nothing to do with Whale Alert, people and journalists continued to write to Zach and seriously ask for details of the transaction.

News for the crypto sector has always been of great importance. Today, the industry has overgrown with many cryptocurrency portals with news of different levels of quality, and the exhaustion of sensations from the finger is a universal reality. Since 2017, when everyone wrote about John McAfee's promise, nothing has changed. Rather, on the contrary, there are practically no reasons for news not related to high-profile arrests, investigations, bans, etc. So there is a need to cling to at least something, at first glance, meaningful, interesting, positive.



Industry representatives, traders, developers, managers often come together at blockchain conferences to discuss the industry's current successes and its future prospects. So, in the fall of 2017, at the blockchain conference in Thailand, Carlos Matos spoke with the presentation of the Bitconnect project, which later became the face of cryptocurrency scam.



The concert took place on October 28, when Bitcoin cost $ 5780 and was preparing to jump to almost $ 20,000 in less than two months, and the BCC token (Bitconnect) cost $ 212 and was preparing to rise to $ 430. It is noteworthy that the maximum values ​​of both cryptocurrencies fell on the same day - December 19, 2017. True, on January 7, 2018, Bitconnect was not worth anything . Do not get hung up on the bad, it causes cancer. That is what the creators of the leading Coinmarketcap cryptocurrency tracker could think, deleting Bitconnect graphics . A shame that should be forgotten and not remembered. Very often, the entire industry behaves in a similar way, preferring to circumvent sharp corners.

Meanwhile, today we can read about the next growth of bitcoin from $ 8300 to $ 9300 and back to 8800, and the project of Pavel Durov with $ 2 billion of attracted investments has been postponed once again.
