Armed robbers broke into the family home of a city financier turned Bitcoin trader and forced him to transfer the digital currency at gunpoint, in what is believed to be the first heist of its kind in the UK.
Four robbers in balaclavas forced their way into the home of Danny Aston, 30, who runs a digital currency trading firm, before reportedly tying up a woman and forcing Mr Aston to transfer an unknown quantity of the cryptocurrency.

So I finally had time to look into this a little. Are you aware ZCL already jumped more than 1000% after the fork was announced in December? Why do you think it'll go even higher rather than correct?
It went a lot higher before they cancelled the fork because they were behind schedule. They announced the new fork date which is in one month as promised, but apparently one month is quite a long time for most investors so it hasn't surged yet (and Bitcoin is suffering a bit as well). The main reason I think the coin will be popular is the team behind it; it is quite a popular coin already despite not existing. I originally intended to hold ZCL and dump before the snapshot, but I may even HODL for the BTCP now that I've been involved with the community for so long and see its potential.
Not at all... I practice what I preach and withdrew many months ago. What is still circulating on the various blockchains is what "I don't care about" It still hurts though, but this is the name of the game.
A few thoughts and observations lead me to believe that what we see now is where crypto belong for the time being.
Look at the "How/where to buy bitcoins" search trend in Google in early December, a week later the price skyrocketed to $20K/coin. Now look at the same search trend now - it is back to normal!
If we look at how MSM covered crypto (btc in particular) in a positive light. Today I watched CNBC, they only covered the negative side... Facebook banning crypto ads, etc... Not a SINGLE mention of the lightning network, which is growing day by day - addressing the issues bitcoin have with transfer fee's and transfer time.
Not a SINGLE mention of the mem-pool, which now is at a 6 month low!
Let's think a little... Who would benefit of the Bitcoin price go up like crazy (without adding value!) only to "crash" weeks later?
And many that bought in during the December craze are amateur investors, buying in the green and panic sell in the red. Never EVER buy when a coin is at an all time high.
