Hello, I'm kinda new to Ubuntu but I have switched to it from windows since I have heard that its more secure and more virus-free in the last few months I have read a lot about computer viruses and it probably made me a bit more paranoid.
I know that you can never be 100% sure that your computer is virus free, but I think having a RAT in your computer is kind of 'extreme virus' to be honest I doubt that someone would really be controlling me pc since I am sure there is no real way for him to it but on the other side I'm still paranoid about this is there any way I can really check it and then finally close this case which eats a lot of my time searching security forums etc... ?
My opinion: I personally doubt that the small group of existing viruses on Linux contains virus of this type but maybe I am wrong.
Linux, by design, is already extremely secure because of its permissions model and its core design principles. Unlike Windows, Linux was built with security in mind, which made it very hard to actually penetrate.
With this in mind, penetrating any system is not impossible, but there are a few easy steps you can take to prevent most any virus from ever reaching your computer.
If a security vulnerability is found in any well-maintained package, it will be patched exceedingly quickly. Just run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade every so often to keep all of your packages up-to-date.
Avoid PPAs like the plague!
PPAs are insanely useful for people, but unless you can be 100% sure that they're run by reputable people and are not compromised, do not add them to your system. Malware through APT isn't really in the realm of average possibility, so you'll be safe.
Remember I said that occasionally a bug can be found in a program which may be exploited? Install ufw from APT, and then run this command: sudo ufw default deny incoming. This command will block any incoming connections to your computer. If you need to allow some incoming connection, just add another firewall rule.
Just to play on the safe side, you should use clamav and rkhunter occasionally regularly. Once every two weeks will likely be more than enough for 99.9% of people.
The absolute best anti-malware in existence is common sense! Don't visit strange websites, don't download and run unknown files, and the like.
In the case of the worst possible incident (something being infected), just wipe your system and restore from a clean backup. If you want to be really safe, you can even make your backups offline (through a live boot) so malware won't have a chance to spread to your drive, except in its raw file form.
If you have sensitive data on your drive, it's often a good idea to encrypt it. Decrypt the data when you need to work on it, and re-encrypt it the second you're done. You can even store the encrypted data on a separate drive. This ensures that if malware does somehow get on your machine, its window of opportunity is very small.
Keeping these simple tricks in mind, you should be safe from 99.999% of all malware on Linux. You're already on a secure OS, and I assume you haven't made drastic changes to permissions. You'll be just fine!
install htop and watch your system when you think something looks funny \ then google.
ufw is a great/ easy tool to lock down network traffic. it is default in the debian/ubuntu variants.
sudo ufw allow google-chrome #if you wanna allow a whole application.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged networking security iptables malware or ask your own question.
Can I get a virus by using "sudo apt-get install"?
Is there any guarantee that software from Launchpad PPAs is free from viruses and backdoor threats?
Is open source software vulnerable to viruses?
Are there any good antivirus for Kubuntu/Ubuntu as of 2015?

Reader comment on item: Sarah Palin Endorses 'Bomb Iran'
in response to reader comment: More answers to GIoK
Submitted by the Grand Infidel of Kaffiristan (Australia), Feb 26, 2010 at 03:06
Anangry and frustrated mr. Bannerghee, seeking to lash out at imagined enemies, writes:
...Anti-freedom in the Muslim world?? What a joke.The Muslim world itself is anti freedom.
My Answer >>>> This is an inconsequential opinion by an inconsequential western person who is living in an politically insignificant land called Australia.
Ah, copying my original description of your good self I see? Initation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thankyou. But I see you really don't like to be called insignificant do you - too much for your enormous muslim ego to handle.
My Answer >>> Another incorrect remark. Try to prove that the Chechens are not white skinned , western Muslims ?
They're certainly not Westerners by any stretch of the imagination - though they may have light skin. Russians immediately identify them and tend to treat them with some disadin. Also - I see that '....the Chechens' own pagan religion was still strong until at least the 19th century. " So obviously they are not all Islamic.
'I said >>>Talking about WWII you must admit that the Soviets did the bulk of fighting during that war. So should the Europeans not remember them also ?'
You said >>> Why 'must' I admit to a lie? They did the bulk of the fighting in their own country .
My Answer >>>> And who liberated the much of eastern Europe from the clutches of Nazi Germany. First learn some history and then start muttering something to me.
I think it is you who should learn somethig about non-Muslim history - it would help you get things into perspective. Specifically see the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact - and understand that stalin's goal was the annexationj of those countries that were defined as coming under the Soviet sphere of influence in the pact. as for 'liberating' those countries - you need to do someserious research . Ask native Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvian, Poles , Czechs, HUkrainians and Hungarians - how wonderfully liberated they felt after the Russian tanks rolled in and they were subjected to 50 years of stifling communist rule
"...Bye the bye how many people did your "Australia" send to fight ? "
With a population of 6 million at the time - a LOT more as a percentage than India did - though that is neither here nor there and proves nothing. India didn't have to get involved.. Here's a link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Australia_during_World_War_II
- you do the maths
"....e Indians fought bravely in WWII."
Good on you. But so did the Canadians, Poles, Estonians, Americans, English, French resistance, Dutch resistance, Norwegian resistance and even the Nepalese etc etc
BUt why did they bother - India wasn't under attack?
But most of the poor in the US have colour TV's.
My Answer >>>>> Another funny comment.
but true nevertheless
"Most of the people in the US cannot eve npay for their home loans "
Most of the people can and do pay their home loans though as we have seen a large number but by no means the majority defaulted on some loans which started the recent 'crisis'.
".....and medical insurance premiums. Anyway I consider your comment another insignificant comment by another insignificant Westerner like you."
There you go again - such flattery. Thankyou.
"....Tell me one thing what is the contribution of Australia to the world rather than being the attack dogs of British and American imperialism ?"
What has the history of Australia got to do with the subject matter? But if you really have to know - you have the internet, do you know how to use google? If it is a sincere question then I'm sure you can do your own research to find the great contributions Australia has made in the last 100 years alone.
One that directly benefitted your country would be http://www.dfat.gov.au/PUBLICATIONS/colombo_plan/index.html
several Nobel prize winners spring to mind (and I do know how much you deest this non-muslim institution.) http://www.whitehat.com.au/australia/people/NobelPrize.asp
Try - 'Australia and medicine', 'Australia and agriculture', 'Australia and science' , 'Australia and international law' - there's so many categories where this country punches above it's own weight.
Oh, what's this - http://www.ausaid.gov.au/country/post/india.cfm - we're STILL giving aid to India??? Why doesn't the massive middle class there give aid to its own citizens??
But it's not just aswutralia that gives massive amounts of aid to the 'developig' countries - canada, the EU and the 'great satan' - the US which you despise so much - give enormous amounts of aid every year. and wh o is first to help out in a humantiarian disaster? You might be able to help out here....Which muslim country heads that list??

French National Front Politician Suspended For Calling Black Minister A 'Monkey' Who Belongs In 'The Trees' (VIDEO)
');}catch(e){}
The National Front in France has suspended a politician who called the country's black justice minister, a "monkey" who she would "rather see in the trees than in the government".
In an an embarrassing blow to party leader Marine Le Pen, who has threatened to sue anyone who describes her party as "extreme Right," Anne-Sophie Leclere launched into an apparently racist attack on Christiane Taubira.
On her Facebook page, Miss Leclere, 33, who runs a fishing shop, posted a montage of photographs placing a picture of a baby monkey, with the caption: "At 18 months" next to one of Miss Taubira, with the caption: "Now".
On her Facebook page, Anne-Sophie Leclere posted this montage
Quizzed by Envoye Special, an investigative television programme that unearthed the pictures, the 33-year-old mother-of-three said she would prefer to see Taubira "in a tree swinging from the branches rather than in government."
"She is wild," Leclere said, adding: "I have black friends and it doesn't mean I call them monkeys."

Florian Philippot, the National Front's vice-president, said the choice of Leclere as a candidate had been a "casting error".
The anti-immigration eurosceptic party is desperately seeking a makeover to broaden its voter appeal and dispel its xenophobic image.
Leclere will face a disciplinary hearing. She officially joined the party in 2012 and was named a candidate for last year's legislative elections only three months later, Agence France Presse reported.
The incident came on the heels of insults and attacks against Italy's first black minister, Cecile Kyenge, which sparked a pledge by 17 European countries to fight racism.
The attacks against the Congolese-born Kyenge have ranged from a senior member of the far-right Northern League party likening her to an orangutan, to having bananas thrown at her and nooses hung in a town where she was due to speak.

Thriller (S2, E2): Once The Killing Starts REVIEW
Richard Phillips-Jones
A professor thinks he has a perfect plan to get rid of his wife. He just needs the right tape recording of her voice, in the Thriller episode Once The Killing Starts. RICHARD PHILLIPS-JONES takes a look.
TITLE: Thriller – Once The Killing Starts
BROADCAST: 2 February 1974
STARRING: Patrick O'Neal, Angharad Rees, Michael Kitchen, Gerald Sim, Gary Watson, Patricia Donahue
WRITER: Brian Clemens
DIRECTOR: John Scholz-Conway
College professor Michael Lane (O'Neal) enjoys a blissful relationship with student Stella Mason (Rees), but there is something in the way, namely his unsuspecting wife Elizabeth (Donahue).
When Lane decides to get rid of the missus, all seems to be going exactly to plan with the help of a carefully manipulated tape recording of her voice, and a perfectly choreographed telephone call. Lane is satisfied with a job well done, until he receives an anonymous note reading "I know what you did, Murderer!"
Professor Michael Lane (Patrick O'Neal) plots a perfect murder plan in the Thriller episode Once The Killing Starts (1974).
The professor faces the challenge of appearing cooperative with the police investigation, whilst trying to work out who has rumbled his scheme, not to mention their blackmail motive. As his own list of suspects begins to take shape, Lane becomes more and more desperate to find his blackmailer, and stop them…
Another generally enjoyable instalment, albeit one which does seem to have been stretched a tad to fill the timeslot – Lane's dastardly deed itself takes up the entire first act. In a tighter episode, this would be over and done with before the opening credits.
Still, once the killing starts in earnest, things really get going in part three. O'Neal made a fine villain whenever given the opportunity (see Chamber Of Horrors (1966) or The Stuff (1985) for further evidence), and he makes the most of the material in portraying Lane's descent into deeper madness. As more mysterious notes reach him, as more murders occur, his pathetic clutching-at-straws approach to investigation can't help but elicit some audience sympathy of the don't-you-hate-it-when-that-happens variety.
After this, the final denouement is perhaps a little hard to swallow, but it's to O'Neal's credit that it just about manages not to collapse into farce. Once The Killing Starts is no series classic, but nor does it let the side down.
TRIVIA NOTES: The first of four Thriller credits for John Scholz-Conway, a prolific TV director whose eclectic assignments ran the gamut through two comedy series with Norman Wisdom, the period drama The Cedar Tree (1976-78) and soap stints on General Hospital and Crossroads, where he ended his directing career.
The later US TV-movie version manages to misspell Angharad Rees' name as Anharad, and give away three murders by showing them in the tacked-on opening sequence. It also shows the killer handling a two-pin electrical plug. We use three-pin plugs in the UK…

Although all plans in the Marketplace cover a core set of essential health benefits, like check-ups, having a clean record results in a lawsuit. Auto insurance is a complicated product to sell. Because carcinomas have a 95 percent cure rate if found early, they have to, to the heavy congestion on our roads.


I have warned in previous blogs about the dangers of over-trading and the effects it can have on an otherwise profitable business.
Over-trading is when a company is growing its sales faster than it can finance or fulfil them, in other words, taking on additional orders when it can't afford to service or fulfil them.
The impact on cash flow is often concealed by the growing profits from growing sales.
The assumption that you cannot turn down business and must accept all orders is normally based on a rational fear of either leaner times in the future or that your customers will go elsewhere.
However, the American author and trader psychologist Rande Howell has an interesting perspective on the causes of and motivation for over-trading.
He outlines this in his book, Mindful Trading: Mastering your emotions and the inner game, and on his website mystateofmind.com.
While acknowledging that there is a fear element, the decision-maker's fear of missing out, he attributes this to their mindset as a hunter.
The business leader, or trader as he refers to them, has a bias to act and therefore to chase after sales.
This can lead to taking action out of boredom because the mindset is about making things happen. Inaction, and the suspicion that opportunities are passing by, is therefore uncomfortable but it can also lead to acting on impulse rather than reason.
Howell also points out that there is a biological imperative in this behaviour in that the brain rewards success by releasing dopamine, the "feel good" chemical. Add to this Testosterone, which is associated with risk-taking and you have the elements of a behavioural pattern that can lead to over-confidence and unconsidered behaviour.
As I have said before a well-organised business ought to schedule work and know when an order can be easily fulfilled.
When planning for growth, the business should look carefully at its finances and have a clear idea of its capacity.
I have also advocated in the past my view that those businesses with more demand than capacity should, instead of building more factories or taking on more staff, consider selling their existing capacity instead of selling more services or products.
This can be done in two ways, either by pricing to manage demand or fixing prices but managing expectations. No one minds waiting if the quality justifies the wait, at least until a competitor offers a similar quality at a similar price but quicker. This sale of capacity allows you to focus on quality of both product and service and avoids taking on more fixed costs in a febrile market.
Honesty and self-awareness, what Howell calls mindful trading, can help to combat the psychological components that lead to risk-taking and can strengthen the confidence in sticking patiently to the growth plan.

Our dealer in Denmark, Thomas Birkballe, visited Arcusin on the 24th of October with some clients and 3 journalists from agricultural magazines.
They visited our factory and met our team. From Arcusin we love to have visits of our dealers and our customers, it is a great way to know each other. The journalists had the opportunity to ask as many questions as they wanted, take pictures and do lots of videos since they were impressed with our facilities. Also, a complete interview was made to Maria Ortiz, Export Manager (video available in Facebook).
After a good and typical Spanish lunch, a demo of the Forstack was done in the field. Everyone was impressed with the work that the machine can do. One of the clients who has an Autostack FSX, thanks to the demo decided to buy also a Forstack, which will be the very first in Denmark and Scandinavia.
During the night we visited la Seu Vella, Romanic style cathedral in Lleida, where we had a nice view over the city, a drink in the bar and we enjoyed some Spanish Tapas.
The bale accumulator Forstack and a bale stacker AutoStack FSX will be shown on the Agromek in Herning on 27- 30 November in Denmark.
Thomas Birkballe will represent Arcusin in Hall M – 9710. Our salesman Jeroen Moleman will be also joining the show.

Dislike? Collector Contacts Debtor's Relatives Through Facebook
by Randall Ryder on November 30th, 2010
Facebook can be a wonderful way to keep in touch with old friends that live in faraway places. The danger, of course, is that if your privacy settings are not correct, all kinds of people can track down and view your digital identify—including debt collectors.
In Florida, a consumer recently filed suit after a debt collector allegedly used Facebook to contact a debtor's relatives in an attempt to collect on a debt.
The alleged contacts
The consumer notified her auto loan company that due to a medical leave of absence, she would likely fall behind on her payments. Within two months, the company ramped up efforts to collect on the debt.
The consumer alleges that she received up to twenty phone calls a day. In addition, she alleges that the company friended her cousin and sister—providing a phone number and asking that they tell the consumer to call them. The company used a false name of "Jeff Happenstance" when making the Facebook contacts.
Is there a dislike button?
The company responded to media inquiries by saying they only use Facebook when there is no other way to contact the debtor. That seems like an odd explanation, given that the consumer is alleging they called her up to twenty times a day.
In addition, using an obvious false name like "Jeff Happenstance" likely violates numerous provisions of the FDCPA.
Nevertheless, this case is an example of the growing trend of debt collectors using social media to track down debtors.

India is the second largest mobile market in the world, that is why you can see lots of smartphone companies here. However, the country's own telecom company Reliance Jio has targeted the feature phone market in India differently via JioPhone and JioPhone 2. Jio already has a market share in feature phones, and a new report is pointing out that the company can launch a new smartphone. This smartphone can be launched during the AGM in July.
Talk of the BeetelBite News website, a Jio official said that the company could launch an Android-based smartphone during the AGM in July this year. This report also provides information that this smartphone will have a 5-inch touchscreen display and it will run on Android Oreo (Go Edition). Plus this smartphone will be more expensive than JioPhone 2 and will cost around $ 63 (about Rs 4,500).
At present, Jio's new smartphone chipset is not included, but it can be given 2GB RAM and 64GB of storage. Also, support for memory cards can be given here too. According to the information received, a 5 megapixel rear camera for photography and a 2 megapixel camera can be given for the selfie in front.
If JioPhone 3 launches, then it will compete with the Android Go Based Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (Go Edition) and the soon-to-be launched Redmi Go smartphone in India.

Needlecrafts Knitting Knitting Basics
Tips for Working With T-Shirt Yarn

Sarah E. White is a highly regarded knitting expert with over two decades of hands-on crafting and writing experience. She has authored three books on the subject, including "Quick and Easy Baby Knits," and was an editor for the website Love to Know Crafts.

T-shirt yarn is fun to make and fun to use in knitting projects, whether you make it yourself or use one of the commercially available yarns made out of old shirts.
While the results are awesome and the projects work up quickly because the yarn is so big, the t-shirt yarn can be a little difficult to work.
You'd think (being made out of t-shirts) that the yarn would be stretchy and easy to work with, but it's pretty firm and can strain your body if you work with it too long in one sitting. Here are some tips to make working with t-shirt yarn a little easier.
Always Use Large Needles
Use knitting needles that are even larger than you think would make sense. Unless your yarn is very fine, a needle in a range of size 11 U.S. (8 mm) and up will work best for you.
Try Plastic or Metal Needles
Needles that are a little slippery can be helpful for working the stitches more easily and evenly with t-shirt yarn. Some knitters use plastic circular needles, even when working flat.
When projects (like making a t-shirt bag) get big, they can put a lot of strain on your body, even when working with circular needles, just because they are so heavy. T-shirt yarn is a lot heavier than the same amount of regular yarn would be, and holding all that weight does take some strength. Take it slow and rest often if you're feeling sore.
Try Not to Stretch
Cotton t-shirts are meant to be stretchy, but the less you pull on and stretch the yarn as you work, the better off you'll be in terms of getting an even tension and having stitches that don't look distorted.
Don't Worry About Perfection
On the other hand, it's difficult to cut numerous shirts so that they make yarn that's the same width (unless you use a rotary cutter and a ruler), so there are naturally going to be variations throughout your project. You'll probably also run out of yarn in the middle of a row and have to change colors. That's fine. It all adds to the organic look of a recycled knitting project.
If you're making your yarn, try to use seamless shirts. It's not a huge deal, but the side seams in a shirt add bulk to your yarn, and sometimes you'll see the seam in your finished project, which might detract from its appearance.
Using Plain or Printed T-Shirts
You're probably inclined to choose plain colored shirts or shirts with logos and only using the part without printing. But it can also be fun to use shirts with a print or even shirts with stripes. Especially since T-shirt yarn projects tend to have a scrappy look naturally, they don't have to match.
Deciding What to Knit
You might have decided to make the t-shirt yarn simply to recycle shirts, but now you wonder what project to use it with. A great idea is to check out projects on Ravelry for inspiration. There are projects for hot pads, washcloths, hats, bags, bibs, and bowls.

Alexander Woollcott
H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel
1020 Spring Street NW
WOOLLCOTT, Alexander P. Alex Woollcott passed away at home on Dec. 12, 2019. Alex was born to James W.G. Woollcott and Mary Louise Glenn McCulloch in Asheville, NC on Nov. 13, 1957. Alex split his time growing up between Palm Beach, FL and Asheville, NC where he attended Christ School graduating in 1976. At Christ School, Alex was a state qualifier in cross country. Upon graduation, Alex matriculated to Yale University graduating with a BS degree in Biology and Philosophy in 1980. After interning two years at a law firm in Birmingham, AL, Alex subsequently attended Cornell Law School where he served as the Notes Editor of The Cornell Law Review. Upon receiving his JD degree from Cornell in 1985, Alex moved to Atlanta to begin his legal career. Early in his career Alex developed his business practice ultimately becoming a partner at several Atlanta law firms before joining Morris, Manning & Martin. Alex chaired the firm's Global Sourcing & Strategic Transactions Practice representing clients worldwide in complex transactions and in developing data privacy and security applications for various international corporations. Alex ultimately achieved the highest ratings available to members of the legal profession including the coveted "AV Preeminent" rating and he was recognized in Georgia as a "Super Lawyer" for twelve years. Alex was in all respects a classic "Renaissance Man" building an impressive legal practice while at the same time pursuing his passion for nature, the arts, sport and music. Alex spent many hours searching for the northernmost sable palmetto palm tree throughout the woods and swamps of northern Georgia and Alabama. Through sheer determination, ingenuity and hard work Alex managed to shepard dozens of tropical palms and citrus trees through harsh Atlanta winters often placing warming lights and frost cloth around them for protection from below freezing temperatures. He was always willing to lend a hand to friends and neighbors who needed gardening expertise and assistance. When he was not in the garden, Alex was running, playing tennis or trying to master the game of golf. Alex was also passionate about music, accumulating an extensive collection of opera, classical and rock music which he enjoyed sharing with his friends and family through most recently his extensively researched Spotify playlists. Alex's personal passions could never match his love and devotion for his family. Alex was a dedicated and loving father to his children May Collins, Benjamin and Anna all of whom he adored. He always made time to attend their athletic and artistic performances and they never wanted for Alex's time and attention. Alex was also fortunate to meet Susan, the love of his life and with whom he found deep love, peace and companionship. Alex and Susan shared the challenges and privileges of life together playing golf and tennis and attending opera and other local artistic performances. Alex was always generous, selflessly giving his time, energy and extensive knowledge to the institutions that inspired him. Alex served as the President of the Yale Club of Georgia, as Georgia Co-Chair of the Yale University Alumni Admissions Committee and as a Trustee of Christ School. He was also a member of the Board of Directors for the Atlanta Opera Company, General Counsel to the Southeastern Palm Society and also as a leader in assisting with numerous Atlanta Botanical Gardens programs and activities. Alex was a member of the Buckhead Club, the Atlanta National Golf Club and the Piedmont Driving Club. Alex is survived by his wife, Susan Sperber Woollcott, children, May Collins Penney Woollcott, Benjamin Philip Standish Woollcott, and Anna Christine Salvadori, father, James W.G. Woollcott (Llewellyn), mother, Mary Louise McCulloch (Neil), siblings James Standish O'Sullivan (Clarence Maio), Pamela O'Sullivan Acevedo (Jose), James Philip Woollcott (Emily) and Llewellyn Woollcott Schiffman, as well as his nieces and nephews and extended family all over the country. A memorial service will be held at All Saint's Episcopal Church on Friday, Dec. 20, at 1 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to All Saints Episcopal Church or, alternatively, the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

6The disciples left and travelled through all the villages, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere.
7 # Mt 16.14; Mk 8.28; Lk 9.19 When Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about all the things that were happening, he was very confused, because some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life. 8Others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9Herod said, "I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?" And he kept trying to see Jesus.
10The apostles came back and told Jesus everything they had done. He took them with him, and they went off by themselves to a town called Bethsaida. 11When the crowds heard about it, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and healed those who needed it.
15After the disciples had done so, 16Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17They all ate and had enough, and the disciples took up twelve baskets of what was left over.
18One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. "Who do the crowds say I am?" he asked them.
36When the voice stopped, there was Jesus all alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this, and told no one at that time anything they had seen.
42As the boy was coming, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a fit. Jesus gave a command to the evil spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43All the people were amazed at the mighty power of God.
The people were still marvelling at everything Jesus was doing, when he said to his disciples, 44"Don't forget what I am about to tell you! The Son of Man is going to be handed over to the power of human beings." 45But the disciples did not know what this meant. It had been hidden from them so that they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about the matter.
51As the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to Jerusalem. 52He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into a village in Samaria to get everything ready for him. 53But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54#2 Kgs 1.9–16When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"#9.54 Some manuscripts add as Elijah did.
55Jesus turned and rebuked them.#9.55 Some manuscripts add and said, "You don't know what kind of a Spirit you belong to; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy people's lives, but to save them." 56Then Jesus and his disciples went on to another village.

Most of the positive cryptocurrency momentum is seemingly coming to an end. Bitcoin barely clings to its recent gains, whereas everything else is turning different shades of red. The TRON price, for example, is losing a lot of value in very quick succession. A rather surprising plot twist, albeit most other altcoins suffer from similar momentum.
Considering how all altcoins are losing a fair bit of value over the past 24 hours, one has to wonder how this will affect the upcoming weekend. With all markets going in the red, a rather negative tone has been set first and foremost. The TRON price is an interesting example in this regard, as it has dropped like a brick in the past day.
Over the past 24 hours, the TRON price managed to lose 7.46% of its value. This pushes the price down to $0.036, which is a relatively low value for this particular altcoin. Even so, there is a growing negative trend affecting all alternative currencies despite the Bitcoin price still holding on to its previous gains. A bearish altcoin market is not unusual during the Summer, though.
As one would come to expect, the TRON price is fueled by a decline in the TRX/BC ratio. A rather steep 7.8% setback in this ratio negates anything the Bitcoin price might be doing to influence the TRON price at this stage. Until Bitcoin notes massive gains, or TRON recovers on its own, it is likely this negative trend will continue to hurt the market first and foremost.
Even the increased TRON trading volume isn't sufficient to keep the TRX value in the green. Most altcoins would give an arm and a leg to generate $255.92m in 24-hour trading volume. For TRON, it is mainly fueled by people looking to sell their existing assets rather than those looking to stock up on some cheaper TRX. Turning this situation around will not be easy by any means.
OKEx holds the key to changing the current TRON price momentum. Its USDT and BTC pairs combine for 35.8% of all trades. Binance's USDT pair is in third place, whereas its BTC market comes in fifth place. Huobi's USDT pair separates these two as of right now. No fiat currencies are showing up for TRON in the top five, and there's only one pair in the entire top 18.
For the time being, this current setback is not something to be extremely worried about just yet. With the weekend almost upon us, the current situation can still turn around fairly soon. Weekends are always interesting for cryptocurrencies these days, and it seems that trend will not change this week. How those trends will impact the TRON price in the coming two to three days, is very difficult to predict.
