Let's grab an overview of what's happening as we head to the hump of the week. **Think only early buyers and these well-known exchanges pull in millions in cryptos?** Think again. Apparently, there are a few OTC (over-the-counter) liquidity providers / professional tradedesks, that move billions of dollars in cryptocurrencies every month. ![otc.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ7ACxkxVsvB1dw4zGdzhWLyw6waTZSq2bWofmey6uLSJ/otc.JPG) *_{Via [ccn.com](https://www.ccn.com/firms-milking-cryptocurrency-markets-astronomical-profits-youve-probably-never-heard/)}* Some of these names that really dig deep, are [Cumberland](https://cumberlandmining.com/), [Jump Trading LLC](http://www.jumptrading.com/) and Goldman Sachs related [Circle Trade](https://www.circletrade.com/ee/). Never heard of them? That's right, most of these companies never report their numbers publicly and they tend to have a much smaller client-base than the regular cryptocurrency exchanges. Staying mostly under the radar benefits them in multiple ways, amongst which are less attacks, less employees, less work, more money. ![versus coinbase.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVTmQ1nETMveuq2SymUQ1bcdQJ5DtEtYuSJN6XLoKJfTS/versus%20coinbase.JPG) *_{Via [ccn.com](https://www.ccn.com/firms-milking-cryptocurrency-markets-astronomical-profits-youve-probably-never-heard/)}* If quarter a million dollars is not a problem for you, you might want to step away from the regular Joe's cryptocurrency exchanges and get yourself some security and professional, personalized service with one of these names. Everyone has heard and some of us even lived through the horror stories when exchanges go down during periods of high volatility. **Want to feel that yuor funds are safe?** Look no further.

According to multiple reports, they have paid many local famous youtubers, to create videos, where they portray cryptocurrencies in negative light. Alright alright you say, let them fight the windmills. But what makes this action shady, is the fact that the payment for these videos from the Central Bank is not disclosed. [A video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7GZeyXAFzo) by Marcin Dubiel has gathered a little over 500 000 views. Dubiel is only one of the few, who were paid off by the Central Bank and created a distorted image about cryptocurrencies, in a country that has somewhat limited access to English language information, points out the original article at [trustnodes.com](https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/02/17/polands-central-bank-secretly-paid-youtubers-slander-cryptos) ![legality.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXD5NZuu5ZmmQhKAm4SZFPvMZiB1MQGgFt8vm5gnsF7uq/legality.JPG) *_{Via [trustnodes.com](https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/02/17/polands-central-bank-secretly-paid-youtubers-slander-cryptos)}* Takeaway from all this? In some cases, you cannot even trust your own government. This behaviour belongs to the past. To combat this, make sure that you do your own research. --------------- --------------- Let's end the daily post with some **crypto hymor**, which should put a smile on every bulls face.
