Ya I posted on this as well. It is crazy how smart some of these people are getting when trying to hack....

I know. So scary but so profitable for the hackers. Happy trading. May the momentum be with you.

Lol thats good "may the momentum be with you"🤣.

Added to my follow list. Keep up the good work and what do you think of the current market?

Mahalos. Followed you and upvoted your recent post. I am trying to be optimistic but my stock trading strategies are not working as well. Thus, keeping a shorter term view and basing my trades on 15 to 30 minute charts. I hate that everything is to pegged to BTC. Coinbase is banned in Hawaii so it's hard to trade because I'm so scared to go into USDT.

I don't trust USDT either but there are some alternatives such as DigixDAO and Nubits that you could check out.

Thanks for the tip. I will research those.
