No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I. \nTo those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really will be good to you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend.\n\n*2.* No one is indispensable, nothing is in the world that you must possess. \nOnce you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what you wanted the most.\n\n*3.* Life is short. \nWhen you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.\n\n*4.* Love is nothing but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. \nDon't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.\n\n*5.* A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. \nOne can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags!\n\n*6.* I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither  would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether  you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor.\n\n*7.* You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.\n\n*8.* I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but could never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch!\n\n*9.* No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life.\n\n                 *Your Parents*",

      "body": "🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂\n\nGreat thoughts can change your life -![IMG_20180702_102916_009.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVVJMZjvHymFVmkppVDjdcQDp9UM69WU7mRoL9ncxSS2R/IMG_20180702_102916_009.jpg)\n\n*The One-Armed Judo Champion*\n\nA young boy who was born without a left arm was sent to Judo lessons by his mother in a bid to help with his confidence. So he began taking lessons with an old Japanese master.\nEvery practice session the master taught the boy one throw. Just one technique over and over again.\n\nEvery so often the young boy would see the other students learning different techniques and ask the master why he wasn't learning anything else.\nThe master always replied - \"Just focus on this one throw. Keep practicing\"\n\nSeveral months later, it was the state Judo championships and the old master entered the young boy.\n\nThe young boy was terrified.\n\nThe first match began and the young boy grabbed his opponent and to the shock of all the spectators - easily flipped him to the ground. Instant win!\n\nThe second round was a little harder but the one-armed boy again pulled off the technique - the only technique he knew, and won.\n\nThe third and fourth round amazingly went the same way and the young boy found himself in the tournament final facing a much bigger, stronger and tougher opponent, who had won the tournament for three straight years.\n\nThe young boy was overmatched it seemed. The referee and the organizers of the tournament spoke to the master and asked him if he wanted to withdraw his student..\n\n\"No\" said the master. \"We will fight\".\n\nAs the final match began the entire crowd were on the edge of their seat. The opponent stepped and grabbed the young one-armed boy and pulled him towards him. For a second it looked as if it was all over...\n\nBut then the one armed boy reached with his right hand, stepped in and BOOM - he threw his opponent flat on his back, to win the match!\n\nThe crowd went nuts - the one-armed boy was the state Judo Champion!\n\nOn the drive home, the young boy asked his teacher - \"Was this a set-up? Did they just let me win because I only have one arm? I only know one technique - these guys know hundreds!\"\n\nThe teacher replied \"No - you won fair and square. But there are two reasons. You won because you mastered one of the most devastating techniques in Judo. And the only known way to defend against that throw is to grab the left arm!\"\n\nWhat appeared to be an incredible weakness - was in fact his greatest strength.\n\nWe all have our limitations but don't let them get you down. Really focus on the things you can CONTROL and always have that positive mindset going in. \nIn the end, that's all that really matters.\n\nHave A Great Day Ahead.🤠🎯🎗🏅🏆\n\n🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂",

The attitude towards yourself, how you treat others through the services you render and how you deal with obstacles along your path. \n\nAttitude is the foundation that we build our lives upon. Keep that foundation solid and supportive to your elevation. \n\nDo not let people dictate your attitude. Keep your construction sight clear from those who seek to sabotage or destroy through pessimistic behaviours. \n\nYou have a life to create and structure. Watch your foundation, the attitude. \n\nBelieve the Champion in You! \n\nHave A Great Sunday 💐😊🎯🤾‍♀🤼‍♂🏄‍♀🚵🏆🎗\n\n🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂",

In his tweet, McAfee stated:\n\n '  Ok people: Can we please get real? One year ago to the day, Bitcoin was at $2,560. Today it is over $6,000. That is a 140% increase. This year to year increase has been accelerating significantly. Stop the short term thinking. Get real'\n\nAccording to CoinMarketCap, on this very day, a year ago, Bitcoin was trading at around $2,785 with the market cap reaching $46 billion. Though McAfee has recorded an increase of 140% in the price, the fluctuations undergone by Bitcoin prices is not a matter of ignorance but of concern. The volatility within the crypto-market has spooked the traders to a point where a panic-and-sell situation has emerged again.\n\nToday, the price of Bitcoin dropped below $6000 before jumping back up. This has been the price has fallen in 2018. In the past 30 days, Bitcoin price went as high as $7,904 with a market cap approaching $6 billion. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $6,124 with a market cap of close to $105 billion. The past 24 hours have seen a change of -1.03% in its price at a trading volume of over $4 billion.\n\nit.ends, a gamer and crypto-follower, argued:\n\n What about your algorithm that “has never been wrong”? You called BTC 15k in June and you were dead wrong. So much for that.\n\nTo which, a McAfee fan OMa, replied:\n\n  It was rescheduled by him to mid july\n\ncrypto_events, a popular Twitter handle, also commented:\n\n Bitcoin in Jan 2017 cost 970$, in June 2017 it cost 2,750$, it showed growth. In Jan 2018, bitcoin cost 16,000$, in June 2018 it costs 6,000$. The market in the stage of falling, enough to inspire people nonsense. Market falling there is no sense to compare bitcoin with last year",

      "body": "![IMG_20180620_200234_656.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUwH7Hbb4dwbDvnbP72B6Xd1JecQofD8wqN3xy5Hta7fr/IMG_20180620_200234_656.jpg)Controversial cryptocurrency startup Tether has released a “transparency update” indicating that its dollar-pegged USDT token, which had a $2.55 billion market cap as of June 1, is fully backed by physical dollars deposited in two separate banks.\n\nReleased on Wednesday, the report was a product of Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan LLP (FSS), a legal firm founded by three former federal judges, including a former FBI director.\n\nWhile not a formal audit, FSS said that it was given full online access to Tether’s bank accounts and statements, as well as to employees at the two unnamed banks holding Tether assets. One of these institutions is reportedly the Puerto Rico-based Noble Bank, though neither party has confirmed this publicly.\n\nFSS said that it conducted the review of Tether’s bank accounts on June 1, without giving the firm prior warning, and found that that the assets in Tether’s bank accounts exceeded USDT’s outstanding market cap by approximately $7 million, suggesting that the token is fully backed by physical dollars.\ntether\nSource: FSS Report\n\n“As part of the Engagement, FSS was able to confirm the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) balances in accounts owned or controlled by Tether at its banks, including selecting the appropriate confirmation dates, and reporting to Tether as to the results of such inquiries. As per the letter of engagement, FSS selected the dates for balance confirmations without prior notice to or consultation with Tether,” the firm wrote, adding:\n\n   FSS is confident that Tether’s unencumbered assets exceed the balance of fully-backed USD Tethers in circulation as of June 1st, 2018\n\nThe report’s release came just one week after researchers at the University of Texas published an explosive paper suggesting that USDT had been used as a tool to manipulate the bitcoin price during last year’s bull run and that the asset may, at times, not be fully backed by USD.\n\nHowever, in a statement released in concert with the FFS report, Tether denied those allegations and committed to providing greater transparency into its operations moving forward.\n\n   To address allegations head on, we wish to make a few things clear: All Tethers in circulation are fully backed by USD reserves. Full stop. Memoranda, consulting reports, industry leaders, cryptocurrency pioneers, and competitors have all confirmed this. Reserves have always, and will always, match the number of Tethers in circulation.\n\nUnfortunately, this increased transparency may not involve a formal audit. The company claims that the reason it has not undergone a full-scale audit is that major accounting firms do not want to incur the risk of performing this service for a cryptocurrency firm.\n\n“The bottom line is an audit cannot be obtained,” Stuart Hoegner, Tether’s general counsel, told Bloomberg. “The big four firms are anathema to that level of risk,” he said. “We’ve gone for what we think is the next best thing.”\n\nPreviously, Tether had contracted with Friedman LLP to audit the firm’s balance sheet, but the relationship broke down before the audit was complete.\n\nFeatured Image from Shutterstock",

      "body": "![IMG_20180620_162714_843.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbbGbqDAmHbYwZJpaq6xyT2y7uUmMLq5ENtsbdb9oZDZd/IMG_20180620_162714_843.jpg)US Senate candidate Austin Petersen revealed his campaign received, and promptly returned, a giant amount of bitcoin this week, as the donation ran afoul of financing laws. Leading candidate for the Libertarian Party’s national chair, Joshua Smith, has made cryptocurrency a key part of his platform heading into the convention. Candidate for congress, coder Brian Forde, former MIT Media Lab digital currency director, and one-time technology advisor to President Obama, came out strongly in favor of cryptocurrency. The community is divided about political influence generally, but if there must be politicians it’s probably a positive sign some are warming to crypto like never before.\n\nAlso read: Troll Slayer: Derek Magill Defends Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash Against Defamation\nUS Senate Candidate Austin Petersen Returns $130,000 Bitcoin Donation\n\n“To whoever tried to give us $130,276 in #Bitcoin on Saturday,” posted US Senate hopeful Austin Petersen in what had to be a tortuous Facebook message, “we had to refuse your donation. Please donate $5,400 to http://austinpetersen.com/bitcoin in order to comply with FEC regulations. Also, start a PAC or something mate!”\n\nMr. Petersen is a well known figure in liberty circles. His background includes producing Fox political shows, founding influential website The Libertarian Republic, along with coming third in the race for the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. He’s currently mounting an outsider campaign for Missouri’s Republican US Senate nomination. Should he win the nomination this August, he’ll face incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat, in November.      \n\nBitcoin More Influential in US Politics Than Ever\n\nMr. Petersen’s embrace of bitcoin is well documented, and he’s openly run on a platform embracing money’s future. It’s actually not the first time his campaign has had to return a crypto donation. Twice before he’s sent back hundreds of thousands of dollars worth. He holds the record as receiving the most legally donated bitcoin, roughly $4,500. If recent polling numbers are to be believed, Mr. Petersen is some 30% percent off the pace for the nomination.\n\nMr. Petersen’s campaign manager told ABC News, “I think it goes without saying we’re going to see a lot more of this in terms of campaign contributions and campaign financing.”\nCoder Brian Forde’s Run for Congress\n\nIt started as a slur. Mr. Forde’s opponent branded him a bitcoin apologist for accepting donations, insinuating something sinister. Brian Forde, candidate for Congress, responded, “My supporters didn’t HODL, but they made donations to my campaign in bitcoin because they have faith in the technology. The comments accusing my supporters are completely inaccurate, sensationalist and it is due to my opponent’s lack of understanding of the technology. My supporters wouldn’t have donated to the campaign if they were just trying to speculate.” Bitcoin More Influential in US Politics Than Ever\n\nMr. Forde wrote some of the earliest and highest-up memorandums for the US government regarding cryptocurrency while in the Obama administration. His accuser was a former SEC attorney, which might explain the hostility and misunderstanding of financial impropriety. Mr. Forde’s campaign was backed by luminaries in the crypto ecosystem such as venture capitalist Mike Novogratz and even the Winklevoss twins. Ultimately, Mr. Forde came in a distant fourth place among six candidates, and so will have to wait at least another two years if he’s inclined to mount another challenge.\nJoshua Smith Challenges Libertarian Party Insiders for Party Chair\n\nThe United States’ most viable third party option is the Libertarian Party. In recent years, some have seen the leadership of the party fawn and beckon very mainstream candidates to its national platform. And while there might be nothing wrong with that strategy per se, libertarians such as Joshua Smith wondered what the point of even being a libertarian was if the official party offered up basically the same type of candidates as the two majors. Rather than just moan about it, Mr. Smith threw his hat in the ring, and is running for the Chair position as an insurgent candidate. Among his disagreements with previous, current leadership is how they’ve not done enough to welcome the crypto community, a seemingly natural constituency.  \n\n“We also need to do a better job of leveraging our membership’s connections within the Crypto community as a fundraising avenue,” he posted. “Right now, there are literally billions of dollars wrapped up in Crypto, with the majority of those currently investing being very Libertarian-minded people. Building coalitions with this community can help change our financial situation immensely, as well as quickly, and serves the added bonus of bringing new members to the party. I have already started building coalitions among libertarians involved with Crypto-community leaders such as Nexus and Vector Space Systems and would continue to build upon these efforts as LNC Chair.”\n\nBitcoin More Influential in US Politics Than EverThe electoral process will end at the Libertarian National Convention, held this year in New Orleans (June 30th through July 3rd). It promises to be a very interesting battle for the party’s soul. Mr. Smith continues, “It is worth remembering that the millions of people who make up the Crypto and Blockchain communities also make up a large portion of the people in this country who do not vote, as political parties have never made it a point to advocate for their interests. This all changed two weeks ago, when I and others passionate about this issue showed up to an LNC meeting and were able to get a Blockchain Committee voted on and put into place. As a result of that effort, we are now the first American political party actively pursuing blockchain solutions for party issues, as well as continuing to look for creative ways to advocate and fight for causes that are near and dear to the Crypto-community. Continued focus in this area will allow for both the growth of our party, as well as the retention of those who see the promise in this most ‘free-market’ of technologies.”\n\nShould bitcoin be involved in politics? Let us know in the comments.",

Now you can also assist in protecting journalists and whistleblowers by donating to the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) using bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, litecoin, and zcash.\n\nThe donations will support current projects of the free speech nonprofit including SecureDrop, a whistleblower platform that allows journalists to get messages and documents from sources anonymously.\n\nOther projects that FPF is currently involved in include the US Press Freedom Tracker, a site dedicated to counting and documenting press freedom violations that occur in the United States. FPF is also the fiscal sponsor of encrypted phone call and text message app, Signal.\nMore than $500,000 Donated Already\n\nAlready the San Francisco, California-based free speech organization has received a donation of 1,000 ETH from Mainframe, a firm in the blockchain space which is developing a censorship-resistant communication and decentralized applications network.\n\n“We are deeply grateful Mainframe has made this critical donation to help Freedom of the Press Foundation protect journalists and whistleblowers, and are excited Mainframe, through their technology, shares our commitment to protecting privacy and freedom online,” wrote FPF on its website following the donation.\n\nMainframe had previously raised approximately $1.4 million in a campaign branded “Proof of Heart”. During the campaign the total number of ETH that was raised by mainframe was 2,019.57, with the highest single contribution being 19.84 ETH – a relevant reference to the George Orwell novel, 1984, which covers themes such as propaganda and suffocating government surveillance.\nDefunct Stripe Partnership\n\nTechnically, FPF, which was started six years ago and counts whistleblower and ex-National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden as one of the members of its board, had been accepting bitcoin donations since 2013 through online payments processor Stripe.\n\nHowever, earlier in the year Stripe ended bitcoin support citing high fees and an increased transaction failure rate making it impossible for FPF to continue accept bitcoin donations. Now the nonprofit will accept cryptocurrency donations directly from digital wallets.\n\nBesides FPF, other nonprofits and charities which accept cryptocurrency donations include several branches of humanitarian aid organization UNICEF. While UNICEF New Zealand accepts cryptocurrency donations directly, UNICEF Australia asks well-wishers to donate the processing power of their computer which is then be used to mine monero using a variant of the Coinhive JavaScript-based crypto mining software.",

It is unjust but it is reality,” he wrote. “I am writing an article on an equivalent alternative to ICOs which the SEC cannot touch. Please have Patience.”\n\nAs CCN reported, the SEC has warned celebrities that they may incur enforcement actions for promoting fraudulent ICOs and violating other securities regulations including disclosure requirements for paid endorsements.\n\nMcAfee, through his ICO advisory service, claims that he charged $500,000 per tweet as well as $100,000 per reply. His website, meanwhile, says that tweets cost $105,000 across the board.\n\n“Obviously, people feel that it is worth it,” McAfee said on Twitter. “Statistically, each tweet averages over $3 million in revenue for my clients – a 600% return.”\n\nLast month, an ICO endorsed by McAfee found itself in hot water after evidence emerged that the project had plagiarized its website content and whitepaper from another project.\n\nMore recently, McAfee revealed that he intends to run for president in 2020, either in the Libertarian Party or through a political party of his own creation. He attempted to garner the Libertarian nomination in 2016 but was beat out by former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, who received nearly 60 percent of the primary votes. McAfee finished second with 8.9 percent, ranking him just above Austin Petersen, who is currently running for a US Senate seat in Missouri and accepts bitcoin donations.\n\nAs of press time, McAfee had apparently gone back on his promise not promote any more ICOs, as his most recent tweet advertises an announcement from a blockchain project called Docademic.",

There are some very interesting ideas coming out that could really change the way people do business.\n\nNot Possible to Dismiss the Cryptocurrency Market\n\nPreviously, in regions like the US, Japan, and South Korea, which have become major cryptocurrency markets, banks have dismissed digital asset investors and businesses supporting digital assets due to their inaccurate assessment of the industry and the sheer size of capital available in the global cryptocurrency market.\n\nSimilar to how Rosenberg admitted that the bank only recently learned the cryptocurrency market is a serious industry, banks in South Korea and Japan were dismissive of the cryptocurrency industry up until mid-2017.\n\nBut, recognizing the rapid growth rate of digital asset exchanges and the market as a whole, and the entrance of the world’s biggest financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, it has become significantly harder for commercial banks to dismiss the cryptocurrency market and be left behind.\n\nIn South Korea for instance, Kookmin Bank, the country’s biggest bank, outright banned cryptocurrency businesses and stopped providing virtual bank accounts to cryptocurrency exchanges in December, 2017. The surprising move of Kookmin Bank led investors to worry about the short-term future of the market and ponder about the faith of cryptocurrency exchanges.\n\nAlmost immediately after Kookmin Bank declared its end of support for digital asset businesses, Shinhan Bank, the second largest commercial bank in South Korea, started to support digital asset exchanges, providing virtual bank accounts and other systems that businesses may need to operate seamlessly.\n\nJoe Ciccolo, the president of compliance service provider BitAML, said that banks like Metropolitan Bank of the US and Shinhan Bank of South Korea which are willing to support digital asset exchanges are corporations that are able to take the compliance risks involved in dealing with an emerging and exponentially growing industry.\n\n“It’s very difficult for a bank to maintain a pro-bitcoin stance. If you have a new officer come into a financial institution, they may take the opportunity to put a different stance on high-risk customers such as crypto companies,” Ciccolo said.\nXapo’s Case\n\nIn May, Bloomberg reported that Xapo, a secure Bitcoin wallet and vault platform, has more than $10 billion in deposits from Bitcoin investors, which surpass the deposits individual investors and businesses have made to 98 percent of the 5,670 banks in the US.\n\nMajor commercial banks are aware that digital asset investors need places to store billions of dollars in a safe manner, and entering the cryptocurrency market during a period in which most financial institutions are sitting on the sidelines could give early mover advantage to banks that move first.",

Square first indicated back in March that it had submitted paperwork to receive a BitLicense, a move later confirmed by a spokesperson.\n\n\"DFS is pleased to approve Square's application and welcomes them to New York's expanding and well-regulated virtual currency market. DFS continues to work in support of a vibrant and competitive virtual currency market that connects and empowers New Yorkers in a global marketplace while ensuring strong state-regulatory oversight is in place,\" Superintendent Maria Vullo said in a statement.\n\nSquare's bitcoin-buying option – through its Cash app – first debuted last fall, after which the company began steadily providing access to a greater number of users. New York had, until today, remained a major U.S. market in which Square had yet to receive permission to operate.\n\nThe company's move into the crypto space has already proven its worth, recent figures show. In May, Square reported that it had booked a small profit on $34 million in crypto-related revenue through is Cash app.",

Said stories appear to have been triggered by research published by Alex de Vries citing Digiconomist’s Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index (BECI) – an index that critics have approximated to overestimate the power consumed through bitcoin mining by more than 115%. Refuting estimates based upon the BECI index, Coinshares has published a report claiming that the mining industry consumes approximately 35 terawatt hour (tw/h) worth of power each year – a 50% reduction from estimates based upon BECI.\n\nAlso Read: ”Ludicrous” – Analysts Debate How Much Power Is Consumed per Bitcoin Transaction\nExaggerated Reports Claim BTC Mining Consumes As Much Electricity as Ireland![IMG_20180617_091129_168.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf2ZQMWuKaJknpN9C1ZaB6ZCqi8XjrN1EtfYPE8FYkTGb/IMG_20180617_091129_168.jpg)\n\nMining Consumes Half as Much Power as BECI Estimates - CoinsharesA report into the energy consumed by the bitcoin mining network by Alex de Vries, the founder of the Digiconomist blog, has inspired a recent barrage of reports claiming that bitcoin mining consumes as much electricity as the entire nation of Ireland.\n\nReceiving less attention, however, have been the criticisms of the assumptions underpinning Digiconomist’s BECI. Mr. de Vries himself has acknowledged that “We’ve seen a lot of back-of-the-envelope calculations, but we need more scientific discussion on where this network is headed. Right now, the information available is pretty poor quality overall, so I’m hoping that people will use this paper as a foundation for more research.”\nCoinshares Study Estimates Mining to be Half as Energy Intensive\n\nMining Consumes Half as Much Power as BECI Estimates - CoinsharesA report published by Coinshares has found that the total energy consumption of bitcoin mining to be 35 tw/h, or roughly half of that produced by Mr. de Vries’ study based on Digiconomist’s BECI.\n\nThe head of Coinshares Research and co-author of the report, Christopher Bendiksen, states “The argument has long gone that the carbon footprint of mining is antithetical to the world’s environmental needs. Many miners we’ve spoken to have objected to the data used by Digiconomist; although they don’t make their methodology clear, it appears that they have taken a bottom-up approach by assuming a small pool of miners is representative of the community.”\n\nOf BECI, the report states “Our findings strictly contradict both of these figures and we believe that they rest on incorrect assumptions resulting from inadequate research.”\nBTC Mining “Mainly Powered by Renewable Energy”\n\nMining Consumes Half as Much Power as BECI Estimates - CoinsharesThe report finds that the bitcoin mining industry to be primarily fuelled by renewable energy sources, particularly hydropower.\n\n“Overall, we find that contrary to previously reported assumptions, bitcoin mining is largely driven on cheap renewable energy, dominated by hydro, with the limited permanent use of, and some seasonal migrations to, coal-based generation in certain areas of China only representing a small part of the network’s total electricity demand.”\n\n“China has huge excess electricity generation capacity locked up in hydropower stations in the south and southwestern provinces,” the report adds.\n\nDo you mine for cryptocurrency using renewable energy?

According to recent reports, the five tried to steal Bitcoin which amounted to nearly $1 million. These men were each accused on charges of conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to commit robbery by force, both felonies.\n\nTrivette Lane Adams, Matthew Schwartz, Robert Jacob South, Justin Eric Ellison, and Michael Anthony McDermott are the names. This case supposedly began when the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office got a report about people coming from out of state to possibly commit a Bitcoin felony, Atlanta Constitution deputies said.\n\nAdams, age 20 from Texas and McDermott, age 18 from California were arrested near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport trying to flee the state, as per the deputies. Jacob South, age 21 from Norcross and Schwartz, age 18 from California were soon captured in Chicago, as per what the deputies said. Adams, Schwartz, South, and McDermott were arrested by deputies in a Forsyth County hotel, allegedly in possession of zip ties, duct tape, bandanas and latex gloves, in late January. They were released as the felony could not be proved.\n\nHowever, the sheriff’s office continued to investigate the men and later deputies connected them to the planned robbery report they had received. Deputies also were successful in identifying Ellison of Illinois and he was also arrested.\n\nThis is not the first time that small-scale robbers have tried to steal cryptocurrency, there have been reports of similar events from around the world. Some of the noted ones are:\n\n    In the UK, a cryptocurrency trader was robbed by four masked men at gunpoint and ordered him to transfer all of his Bitcoins to them.\n    In Manhattan, the district attorney had charged a man with robbery and kidnapping after he swiped a digital wallet containing a fortune in Ethereum cryptocurrency. The victim in this was held at gunpoint",
