BlackBerry exec believes that many businesses don’t have a great visibility about the combination of crypto mining apps with malware.

So true. Most of people are easy to be fooled by malwares, not only with crypto mining apps but also with general PC apps. Average anti virus software like Windows Defender are not effective in spotting malwares and trojans. Solution to this is to use a strong, effective third party anti virus software like KIS or Norton.

It's good to see the market gains but marketcap is still too far from ATH $800 billion.  I think we've been in the bull run already since bitcoin broke $10k resistance. However, it's difficult to preditct where this bull run leads to. There are many hard resistances at $12.4k or $14k.

I don't think bitcoin is exciting at the moment. It's extrememly bulish but correction can come at any time. This morning's pull back from $12.1k to $10.5k is an example. I would say that bitcoin is dangerous rather than exciting. Be careful and don't let your hype blind you.

It's quite a long journey that Ethereum has gone. So far, Ethereum must be the most popular blockchain in cryptocurrency world. There are many projects which claim themselves blockchain 3.0, blockchain 4.0 or even higher but none of them could outshine Ethereum. Innovation is good but I don't think there would be a coin more innovative than Ethereum in the next 2 or 3 years.

I think $14k by October is highly possible. At the time of writing this post, bitcoin's price is $11.6k and it's just the beginning of August. 3-month time is enough to gain $2.4k. Optimistic people even think $14k is soon to come in next month or even late August. However, year end price is not easy to predict. If the old ATH is broken, I think new ATH would be much higher.

I think payment first would be better. That way, you can sell your tokens right after it's listed. To many projects, that point of selling is usually at highest price. After that, prices usually gradually decrease. Some people might say that bounty hunters selling tokens leads to price dump but the number of bounty tokens is too small to cause price dump.

Scams are the biggest, one and only fear in crypto, especially new cryptocurrencies. Only a few genuine projects have shown up in the last couple of years. The ratio between real projects/ total new projects are too tiny. There were many proposals to prevent scams like STO or DYCO but none came into effectiveness.

ETH going up is an inevitable truth. The fact that it's a good altcoin, plus the rise from bitcoin and PoS hype. All of that contributed to ETH's recent surge. ETH enthusiasts' patience has been fairly paid off. But I'm not so hyped that ETH can reach up to $300k. That's far beyond my expectation.
