finally, hope the FUD in korea end here...

[akhilholden]

we are going to bounce back strong...it is time to buy some crypto at bargain prices right now

The fud will never end! Not till the world adopts crypto!

[clicketyclick]

The division will be there for a time to come..Fud versus Faith, and its the battle between these two that keeps the markets profitable for traders. Once the world has adopted crypto I think speculation, even with stocks will be a thing of the past..and by either the sweat of our brows shall we earn our bread, or else we will freely be fed by freebie robots!

Now, if only there was some sort of platform, kind of like facebook with no ads at all! That would be amazing!

Wow, Line getting involved, Line is huge! I

Really thanks for sharing this informative post, in my opinion Facebook is blocking the Cryptocurrency Advertisements because of increase in the malware attacks in the Crypto world.

Stay Blessed.

South Korea may not really be interested in banning Cryptos but they want to be part of the tax windfall which would results from their regulating of the crypto market activities.
