@thecryptofiend - Thank you for the heads up. As you have advised, I have kept some bitcoin crypto in an offline secure paper wallet. I have kept some in Bittrex since Bittrex has officially announced that they will support both chains. Keeping fingers crossed. You make a very valid point about reputed exchanges never sending emails with embedded links. Thanks. Upvoted.

I request you to visit my latest blogs when you have some free time. You valuable comments and feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks
