The Turkish Scambit

Hey #Moni Maker 👨‍🎓

Today, in 1896, the first film show in America took place in New York. It is a pity that we, the people of the 21st century, cannot feel the delight that the audience experienced ... But wait a minute! We have crypto that entertains even better than cinema, music and other art.

Probably in 100 years, followers continuers of Moni Talks will write similar introductions about bitcoin, a little envious of us, the pioneers. For them, bitcoin will be commonplace, but we saw its birth.

We were dreaming again. Come on to the news, faster!

Turkish crypto exchange Thodex stopped trading without warning. Almost 400 thousand users lost access to funds. Citing a police report, Thodex CEO Farouk Fatih Ozer left the country on Tuesday evening and deleted his social media accounts.

In addition, the company stopped all types of customer support. The funds remaining on Thodex are estimated at $ 2-10 billion. A more exact amount will be known in the coming days.

During the month, the exchange ran a campaign to reward 150 Doge new clients. This attracted thousands of users and helped set new record trading volumes. At the same time, since April 14, Doge has been trading on Thodex at a fixed price of $0.11, while on other exchanges it has traded above $0.40.

The exchange did not allow withdrawals purchased at $0.11 DOGE, referring to the maintenance of the wallet, which is very similar to the tactic of raising additional funds before an exit scam.

So what?

No politics! But! Erdogan, would you be kind to deal with this trash there. Exit scams disgrace not crypto only, but also the country that allows them to go unpunished.

The note, which was sent to the investors of the RIT Capital Partners fund, founded by Lord Jacob Rothschild, said about the investment in the Kraken crypto exchange.

The amount of the investment was not disclosed.

RIT Capital Partners' interest in the platform stems from Kraken's plans to go public with a direct listing of shares in 2022. The letter also notes that Kraken's rival, Coinbase, earned a record $ 1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2021, more than its full year profit.

So what?

Is Kraken an underdog? It seems to be not a hype like Binance or Coinbase, but lately it has at least three great news in each of its tentacles. $KRAKEN coming soon?

Users of the American Gemini exchange can now buy cryptocurrency using Apple Pay and Google Pay.

— Akash Network has announced a partnership with CertiK.

And you...buy Bitcoin! 😉
