a hacker does have many ways to break through the current security system (ftp://security system)

Holy crypto. I just withdrew my tokens from etherdelta right before that happened (which I was trying to do for several weeks). I guess I actually do have some luck for a change.

Holy Hackers Is it possible to keep cryto and blockchain away from hacking?

In my personal opinion, hacking is everywhere. We can't prevent it if we don't stay alert. We need to know how to become safe. and for safety always need to use useful tools and techniques.

Scammers everywhere, how to protect them? A good question I think, from whom what opinion?

Being a part of the Cryptohound team, I can recommend you to check also our solution, which lies on the intersection between blockchain explorers and B2B digital forensics tools. At the moment, the solution provides more data insights than an average wallet explorer, and it's free and accessible to everyone, unlike professional forensics tools. We have also incorporated widgets to our tool so that the information can be presented in the visual, easy-to-understand form. We also looking for new ideas and suggestion on how to improve the tool and what extra widgets to add. Any feedback is appreciated.

2017 was a new start for the whole crypto industry, but now it's finally going up

I can't remember if I have some tokens on Etherdelta as the only exchange I have now is Binance.
Sadly, we can't really avoid hacking as those evil ones will do everything they can to penetrate any security system just to get money. The only thing we can do for now is to strengthen the security so they can't easily access the system.

Oh man, oh man. People should really consider improving their security.

BEEX Exchange
It's been six months since I traded with this exchange, no problem. It has a high trading volume, especially in bitcoin. And buy your own currency called the bee because it is currently very low and is about three cents but it will soon be worth ten dollars and you will only buy thousands of dollars of bee currency in a few months to sell hundreds of dollars.

Hi there, why not to make the 2019 review now then?

Kind of a long retrospective, maybe we can predict smth by analyzing those situations.
But yep, so many things happened since then.
