https://globalnews.ca/news/4926352/cryptocurrency-exchange-halifax/
https://amp.smh.com.au/business/markets/the-missing-195m-crypto-accounts-emptied-months-before-ceo-s-mysterious-death-20190307-p512b4.html
Experts finally cracked the laptop of the crypto CEO who died with sole access to $US137 million ($195 million). But the money was already gone.
After his mysterious death in December, his colleagues said about $US137 million in cryptocurrency, belonging to about 115,000 customers, was held offline in ‘cold storage’ and inaccessible.
The case has sparked numerous theories, including that he faked his own death and ran off with the cash.
However, court-appointed auditor Ernst & Young was able to crack Cotten’s laptop. What they found, according to an EY report dated March 1, was that the accounts had been emptied in April 2018, eight months before his death.
“In April 2018, the remaining bitcoin in the Identified Bitcoin Cold Wallets was transferred out bringing the balances down to nil,” the report said.
The EY investigators found other issues too. Quadriga kept “limited books and records” and never reported its financials.
There were also 14 user accounts, all linked to Cotten, that traded on Quadriga’s exchange and withdrew cryptocurrency to addresses not tied to Quadriga.
Burdened with $US190 million in debt and unable to find or access the money, Quadriga filed for creditor protection in late January.
A Nova Scotia court threw the company a lifeline this week, granting it a 45-day extension that prevents creditors from filing lawsuits against it until mid-April.

Right, so I've heard 'buy the news and sell the hype'.
I'm not into studying cryptos but got interested when it spiked and have been riding the waves down since. I gambled some LTC and made about double before withdrawaling from the site, which I've been sitting on. I bought most of it around the $115-$130 range. I'm kicking myself for not picking up more when it hit recent lows, it's doubled in a few months.
Anywho, I saw an article about how BTC and other cryptos could surge when BTC halves next may, and that the current BTC prices don't reflect a, er, proper? price for when that happens.
I've had my eye on coinbase and am curious about all the sideways action these past weeks.
Any longer term predictions on BTC or any major alts to be looking at?
I've got a little Doge and some Tron and I think some Ada but haven't looked in a long time.

That we have held current levels just under $4K BTC without trading back to the recent lows is somewhat encouraging, however every attempt to break higher has as yet been rejected, so there really isn't all that much to get lathered up about. All the while, the 200 day moving average (a "key" moving average, i.e. one major technical indicator that traders pay attention to) is still declining, presently cutting through $5K BTC, and will likely act as some resistance on any breakout. The longer it takes for BTC to stage a breakout above $4.2K, the lower the ceiling will be as the 200 day continues to descend, thus making any breakout less of an easy money trade.
I do think the 80% draw down off of the all time highs does present a reasonably attractive entry for long term positioning. However, I am under no illusion that we should expect to see such a powerful breakout as to propel us back to fresh all time highs. I like the work that is being done in the space. The hype cycle has waned and the real projects with real development are working at building out their platforms (it's easier to spot projects that are likely to go no where at this point). I am particularly excited to see how my relatively small hand in Hedera Hashgraph's ICO plays out, as they offer one of the more interesting technologies and have announced some impressive partners dispersed around the globe for the initial tranche of their governing council. The entire space is likely to be a slow grind for some time... We'll see how it all shakes out.
Quick note to HamHead, the common turn of phrase is "buy the rumour, sell the news".

If you don't mind me asking Geo, Has your opinion/list on what cryptos are worth holding or have potential changed due to this downtrend?
My list has changed somewhat dramatically even if some on the list has stayed.
I think my list was XLM, ETH, STRAT, and maybe a couple more but I know I've given a list of 5 at least a few times and had XLM at the top. So far, in order, my list of ones that I find have the most potential are ADA, BTC, XRP, EOS, ETH, and XLM being last. I have others I think have potential but at least out of the top 20 since I (personally) feel in this extended downtrend they're the safest bets unless something with some unbelievable potential comes around or a 2017 type bull run comes back before even more die off. I find BAT to be a very interesting concept and think it has potential but it's, IMO, the first attempt to tackle the problem of advertising and think it's too early to say the first attempt is going to be a winner so while I own a very small percent of my total holdings I don't necessarily feel confident in it. Zilliqa and Holochain I find interesting as well. BNB from a pure trading standpoint seems like one of few gauranteed holds unless all of a sudden crypto dies entirely, I own a very minor amount due to trade fees though im hesitant to buy it as of late because it seems to be in kind of unchartered waters if that makes sense.
Edit: should add I did trade around 50% of my position in cardano back into bitcoin a few days ago when it hit 6 cents, bought it somewhere between 3 and 4 and will probably be buying back in whenever it looks like a good time to even if that's at a higher price.

Bought some xtz a couple weeks back, wish I bought more. It's up 110% since I bought in. It's up 22% since coinbase announcement.
I'm kicking around the idea of buying more but I'm reluctant to do so

Not too much, although there are some projects that could reasonably be cut from my earlier lists, such as ZAP. So much is still so very speculative, that it is difficult to know where the ultimate winners may be hiding. Suffice it to say that it is wise to maintain primary exposure to BTC as the overall market driver. Speaking of which, it is breaking out to a five month high as I type.
In terms of the alts, in no particular order, I would favor ADA, XTZ, NEO, ETH, XMR and NCT. On a more speculative rung, I also like NEBL, ZIL and VET. Lastly, I still keep an eye on XLM, OMG, ICX, and NAS, although these hold the least of my conviction.

Probably best to wait for the retrace back to $4200 if you're looking for a quick trade.

Not saying it can't happen, but given the strength behind this move, I would be surprised if we fall all the way back to $4200. If you have been exposed to the market in a big way, this is not a bad time to take a little bit off the table as a hedge against retracement. But this is a significant move that I think has legs for continued upside... Maybe not this week or next, but over the balance of the year I think we will go higher.

And what about those coins that I've been holding? What's consensus on waiting until they break even, waiting until they go higher and making profits, or simply HODL for long term and possibly watch as US dollar collapses. . .

I'm glad to see LTC doing well. Been sitting on some I got around $120.

Everyone's situation is different. It really comes down to a combination of your own personal risk appetite, your cash flow needs and your personal outlook for the space. Case in point, the Mt Gox bankruptcy turned civil rehabilitation proceedings has been making some progress over the past year, however the coordinator for MtGoxLegal, a creditor group aiming to actively stay abreast of developments and influence the trustee and court decisions through both legal representation and grassroots campaigning, has opted to sell his claim to an investment firm for roughly ~50% of what has been calculated as a reasonable distribution in a poor case scenario, once the matter has ultimately been resolved. Put plainly, his life circumstance, exhaustion with the process, and personal estimate that it will take at least a couple of years longer to reach a resolution, have led him to take a potentially smaller payout now, even as there does appear to be a reasonably high probability of light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel however, is simply too long and uncertain for him.
Similarly with your investments, you have to decide for yourself what is worth more to you. Money now, or maybe more money later, with the added risk of no money at all to show for it? If the investments are causing you stress, that would be a personal point favoring liquidation. Understand your needs and your own personal time horizon, then make your decision. Remember that in your case, you don't need to be "all in" or "all out", there is plenty of wiggle room in between. If you're going to experience a high level of distress should the market swing negative again, you are overexposed and should reduce your exposure until it is at a level where you can rest easy.

I'm by no means an expert trader but I personally am hesitant to get too excited until bitcoin clears the $6000 mark. While I still have a lot to learn, the one thing I have learned in trading is that when broken through support turns resistance and resistance turns support and considering how long bitcoin defended $6000 before the support broke makes me think it's going to be quite the formidable resistance and could prove difficult to break through.
I wouldn't really be hurt even if it goes to zero since most of what I have in the market is left over profit from either trading or from the end of 2017 but even in saying that I already put up a few sell orders a little below $6000 just because I feel like that price isn't going to be that easy to get through, and while it'll be unfortunate to lose out on the potential profit if I'm wrong and it keeps going, it's that much more bitcoin I'll be able to buy and own if I'm right and it'd still be a nice profit to walk away with

Ha no way.
You think everyones gonna fall for the hype again. Not IMO.
How will it go past 19k if that was the initial boom? Everyones gonna cash out before 19k IMO.
Maybe I'm wrong tho people are retarded. maybe loadsa idiots will jump in again on the hype.
Personally I'd be looking to bail 8-12k
The future is gonna be much more volatile - I highly doubt it will be similar to last boom.
My coins are stuck in Monero and have been for years. I could never withdraw them last boom because the Monero client never shows the balance as I've never managed to get the whole block chain or find any way of making it work.
