  • How to check for blockchain scams

    Cryptocurrencies operate on blockchain networks.

    Scammers often claim their blockchain is “in development” or “about to be released,” but all legitimate cryptos will have an accompanying website to verify the currency.

    Users can type the name of the crypto into any search engine with the phrase “blockchain explorer” or “blockchain scan” to find the connected blockchain, if it even exists.

  • Man loses $1.6million, part three

    The app demanded $1.5million from the victim and threatened to freeze his account if he didn’t pay.

    “I go look on the FBI site and lo and behold, there’s this public alert about this type of scam,” he told the news outlet. “I’m 52, my entire life savings, gone in a matter of a month.”

    The common scam, which involves meeting someone on a dating app, depositing money into a fake investment app (which is constantly changed, renamed or deleted) then losing it all, is called the “Pig Butchering Scam,” KMGH-TV detailed.

  • Man loses $1.6million, part two

    The man said he successfully deposited funds into the account, including money from his retirement accounts.

    A “customer service agent” with the app told him “you need to repay the loan before you can withdraw cash from your account,” KMGH-TV reported.

  • Man loses $1.6million in scam

    A man says he lost his life savings in a scheme dubbed the “Pig Butchering Scam.”

    The 52-year-old told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH-TV that he met a woman on a dating app who appeared to have similar interests to him.

    The conversation turned to cryptocurrency, something he’d made about $70,000 on in a few years.

    The man told the news outlet that the woman he fell for online convinced him to invest in a mobile and web app that seemed legitimate to the software engineer.

  • Crypto scams and dating apps

    Some cryptocurrency scam operations have started using dating apps to reel in potential targets.

  • What are Altcoins, continued

    Simon Peters, crypto-asset analyst at eToro, said: “They build on the success of bitcoin by slightly changing the rules, economics or use cases to appeal to different users.”

  • What are Altcoins?

    Altcoin stands for alternative coin, a type of virtual currency that uses the so-called blockchain to allow secure transactions. 

    Altcoin is a category of cryptocurrency rather than a currency itself, and there are more than 900 different altcoins available.

  • Bitcoin price soared in March

    However, despite that prediction, the value of Bitcoin actually went up in March 2022.

  • Some experts think Bitcoin will ‘crash’ soon

    She previously told CNBC that Bitcoin will “probably crash” in 2022.

    The professor warned last year: “If I were an investor now I would think about coming out of Bitcoin soon because its price will probably crash next year.”

    She referred to Bitcoin as more of a “toy” than an investment.

  • Is the US considering banning crypto?

    The United States is not one of the countries looking to fully ban cryptocurrencies — at least not yet. 

    In fact, Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell previously said that there are no intentions of banning cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin.

    So, for now, events like the Bitcoin 2022 conference can go off without a hitch.

  • Can governments ban cryptocurrency, continued

    China’s government, for instance, claimed it was concerned that people were using digital assets for fraud and laundering and ended up banning crypto.

    That country and its government have also expressed concerns over the impact on the environment, as well as the potential of the destabilization of the country’s financial system.

  • Can governments ban cryptocurrency?

    Some countries have already fully banned cryptocurrencies, including places like Egypt, Iraq, China, and Qatar.

    Some might think the reason cryptocurrencies are banned in some countries overseas is over volatility – but that’s not necessarily true.

    A big issue is the scams users are susceptible to.

  • Bitcoin volcano

    A Bitcoin volcano is on display at the conference, meant to be “a nod to El Salvador’s plans to build Bitcoin City at the base of a volcano,” CoinMarketCap reported.
