The whales abruptly pushed the price of Dogecoin up, but in the meantime something completely unexpected happened. Hotbit exchange has been hacked. They seem to be very hard hit by this attack because they say it will take them days, if not weeks, to recover and go online. Poloniex was also shot down for several hours, and although they did not say that it was a cyber attack, they wrote that they had an issue that they were investigating. Poloniex is online again, but there is still no announcement of what happened. Cyber attacks on exchanges are a regular occurrence. You know, hackers attack them, they defend themselves and that's how everything works. What I want to warn you about is that there are always people who have an interest in forcing you to sell your coins. They use events like this to spread FUD and that is why I warn you not to make decisions just based on the claims of these people who are actually spreading panic. On the other hand, in parallel with these mentioned events, the whales, as I said, abruptly raised the price of Dogecoin, and then started a big sale. Three scenarios are possible. 1. Since the whales invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Dogecoin, it is possible that they decided to make a smaller profit, but to do the same thing again. So, it is possible that they are satisfied with 5-6% of the profit in one pump, but that they intend to repeat everything again in the coming days. 2. A possible scenario is that they tested purchasing power. With such a large amount of money invested comes a big risk that there will not be enough liquidity. Recently, Tesla tested the liquidity of Bitcoin when it sold 10% of the 1.5 billion they invested. This is done when you want to check if it is possible to sell such large quantities. 3. The third possible scenario is that with this pump & dump they wanted to expel from open positions all those who had activated "stop-loss". Also, such sudden price shifts are often used to force those who have "weak hands or paper hands" to sell their coins. The third scenario seems most likely, but at the moment I don't have enough information to tell you exactly what happened. I am still researching and informing you as soon as I come up with new insights. In the meantime, don't fall for these manipulations. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC0huUru8j8

Australia has published a bill known as the News Media Bargaining Code, that will force Google and Facebook to provide data on users and the way their algorithms work to Australian news businesses. The law also stipulates that these two companies pay for the news that the Australian media share through Search and Facebook. Australia is not the first country with a similar law, which asks Google to pay for the news. Before that, the law was passed by Spain, Germany, France, but these companies have their own ways of fighting against that. I guess you won't be surprised that between this first request, about giving user data and how algorithms work, and this second one that has a hand in their pockets, Google and Facebook are more concerned about this one about the pockets. According to The Guardian, “Facebook is disappointed in the Australian government’s attempt to extract millions of dollars from tech giants to pay for media content shared through search and social media.” Let's do the math from our perspective. From the perspective of the average user. Australia is an independent country and has the right to pass any law it wants on its territory. That is not something to worry about. A Google's lukewarm reaction to a bill that will require it to hand over data on the use of Search and YouTube by users of these services and to uncover the way the algorithm works, to news media businesses, is something that worries. In an open letter to Australians, on behalf of Google Australia, Mel Silva, expressed concern and said that they would do everything they possibly can to get this proposal changed. The thing is, that letter only needed to say NO. Or we can all say that Google's party is over. Because the main question is not how the data they hand over to Australian news businesses will be protected and used, but what prevents other countries from passing the same law. In fact, a country that does not pass such a law that gives its companies an advantage on the world market would be crazy. Speaking of market advantage, why stop at the news business? What prevents all countries from requiring Google to hand over the user data and the way the algorithm works, to large software companies, hotel chains, music publishers and so on. Basically, we are one step away from the fact that the only one who does not have access to this crucial data is an ordinary person. The ordinary person who built Google and YouTube and Facebook. And no, I'm not talking about what's fair and what's not fair. We are all used to no fair game when there are big businesses on one side and a small man on the other. I'm talking here about what works and what doesn't work. If Google succumbs to Australia's request, it will not only cease to exist YouTube channels that publish new ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfjDm9oPQCo
