1021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some smart guy converted $1000 to 1 million in one day with $BALD coin on: August 23, 2023, 04:41:18 AM

Something similar happened with PEPE, when a story about an investor who bought 250$ worth of tokens and earned 20 million was actively spread. All these stories are created to fuel the hype. 99.9% of everyone who buys such tokens will never be able to repeat the same success. Be realistic.
These sort of stories will fuel the new investors to try their luck and hence these sort of crazy stories of random people without any faces making millions is a sure shot way to keep churning out shit tokens and creating the hype of a million dollar promise so that new investors are attracted towards these shit project and as mentioned earlier by some of the users, majority are inside jobs as they are aware of the pumps well before the general investors and those users usually earn a substantial profit before the bubble bursts.

I agree with you. Indeed, if we see such stories with crazy earnings on the Internet, it means that they just want to lure us into another shitcoin. It often happens that many memcoins are similar in name and design and investors get the impression that this is the gem with which they can repeat the success they have read about before.

Also, what the cryptonews media hype do not tell everyone is the investor who has earned $20 million has not yet sold the tokens and cannot sell the tokens because the total liquidity provided in Uniswap is not enough to cover everything if he dumps. This is why those tokens dump after they are listed in Binance and the other big exchanges. They need the exit liquidity.
1022  Other / Archival / Re: OKX is going to implement KYC for all clients on: August 23, 2023, 03:16:11 AM
Any chances for Huobi Global to face the same restrictions very sooner? Cause it is the most reputed exchange which still offers No-KYC withdrawal limits but wonders how they are left out when the recent exchanges are forced to do it.

It all depends on how much the exchange wants to scale its business. If the exchange wants to get more and more licenses and open its representative offices in other regions, then they will follow the path that KuCoin, ByBit, Bitget, OKX, etc. have now chosen . I think that it is this factor that is pushing the major exchanges to change their conditions.

This is the reality we are witnessing. These implementations of KYC are more for the purpose of being compliant with the regulators than for wanting to impose something invasive on their customers. If the exchanges can follow their own rules, there would be no KYC. However, no KYC attracts the criminals which will also attract the government. It is certainly much better to comply and avoid the government's eye hehehe.
1023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 23, 2023, 02:36:23 AM

Rolly cannot hold his belt for long because he is the easiest of all the champions. Maybe what PBC wants here is to let another PBC fighter take the belt rather than lost it to rival networks and promotions. Ohara is now with GBP and DAZN so Al Hymen is trying to manipulate the system once again.

For sure Rolando Romero doesn't know what he is talking about, that he can attain a level like Manny Pacquiao he looks like he has Autism sorry about people that has Autism I surely never view this kind of thing negatively but Rolando Romero is like an Autistic dude that still remained in his childish ways, for sure if he fought Ryan Garcia this will surely end his reign for sure,

Rolando Romero is just a talkative person. And talkative people at times just talk and talk without even thinking. Maybe Romero has ADHD, who knows? But his confidence is at the other level. He is a very funny guy and probably thought he is handsome. He said Pacquiao has the ugliest style in boxing and that Tank Davis looks like a koala. He also said he felt bad that Devin Haney was born with poor genetics like having a big nose and being very ugly. Yet there was a time when he called Devin his son and that he is the biological dad. After his knockout lost to Tank at 135, he said that he is big in the division so he wants to move up 2 divisions at 147 and fight Errol Spence. He said 140 is a no-name division yet he is now campaigning at 140 with a belt gifted to him by the WBA and PBC.

He doesn't deserve a belt, PBC and corrupt WBA worked their magic to give him the title. He was knocked out at 135 by Tank and then he moves up to 140 for a vacant WBAbelt against an old man who gave him life and death but only for the referee to stop the fight favoring him. As Crawford said, boxing is one of the most corrupt sports if not the most corrupt.


Meanwhile, Sugar Sean O'Malley made a huge upset last weekend and became champion in the UFC. So it seems like the guy wants to cash out big time while he is still a champion by challenging Tank Davis in a boxing match. And then Ryan Garcia responded. Cheesy


Hehehehehe King Ry is making me laugh and shake my head. It appears that after his loss to Tank Davis, he is trying to find his own opportunity to get the easiest opponent with the possbility to get a big purse and get his name back in favor with the boxing community and the sports news media hehehee.

If he did not fight Tank Davis, I reckon Suga Sean would have been a better fight fight for Ryan Garcia competitively, financially and for his career. It would have been a positive for him in everything.

Actually I missed the rest of the event right when Chito Vera's fight started. Fell asleep at that point so had to rewatch the entire card from that point on.
I guess Suga Sean was right, he is a boring fighter and that fight doesn't count on his record.
His only loss being 9-1 in the UFC.
Sean O'Malley tells Stephen A. what's next after beating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292

Watched his rise up from the ranks starting from the Contender Series was a really interesting watch:

This was a good one to bring some thoughts of who should be up in the next episode of The Suga Show:
The Suga Show Has Officially Arrived.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32uo-xOR8ck

It appears Suga Sean also wants to receive more money in his purse that he will never earn in the UFC hehe. He mentioned in an interview that he wants to challenge Tank Davis in boxing after defending his bantamweight championship. He did not mention a date, however, I speculate this might be on 2024 if he is allowed by uncle Dana hehehe. I predict that he will be allowed.
1025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: August 22, 2023, 04:55:04 AM
Here it is it also got a date so for sure it will happen, for sure the big boxing match that will happen in history as 2 fighters will clash and both are from the heavyweight division although Francis Ngannou comes from MMA it was said that Francis Ngannou would take this fight is because of the High pay it promises, but Francis Ngannou has said that he truly loves boxing this is his 1st choice although MMA was there and the 1st he has to grab on it was surely available for him and so this has embarked the Heavyweight UFC Champion Francis Ngannou to fight Tyson Fury, for sure I am also a fan of the MMA but Boxing is my first love and for this, I am really Curious in what will happen in this fight so I will run down what I think about both fighters

Tyson Fury - the Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury that has the belt for WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and the WBC, got 34 fights in boxing 33 wins, and 1 Draw 24 Via Knockouts and 9 via decision, for sure Tyson Fury has solidified himself in the world of boxing and as the fight was on the boxing format this fight is his turf for surely has a high advantage when it comes to boxing so likely when he lost this fight this is the end of his career and his fan based will surely Crumbles along with it, that Draw fight against Deontay Wilder was really unexpected but he eventually got the win on their next fight, for me Tyson Fury will have the volume and speed with the punches and surely it also not lacking in the power department so it could end up in a knockout win for Tyson Fury,

Francis Ngannou - the Heavyweight UFC champion Francis Ngannou is nicknamed The Predator he got a record on UFC 20 matches with 17 wins and 3 losses, 12 knockouts 4 Submissions, and 1 decision, for sure this is the 1st time he would fight with boxing gloves and this is certainly a new experience for him, as it is a different sport, but surely with that kind of body physique because of his grappling he needs body mass for sure because of that Francis Ngannou will be durable for sure he certainly got the power to knock out Tyson Fury for sure and in this fight he can see if he can surely do it I am still in doubt with his speed but certainly that 1 punch power with him, if he lost in this fight clearly he will not lose anything at all as this is not the sports that he likely used on,





I shake my when I read these comparisons on their records and statistics because we know already who will win. It will be Tyson Fury. Very much similar to Conor, Francis Ngannou only wanted to fight in boxing because he can receive a big purse and have enough money to take care of his family. Uncle Dana will not give him this money hehehe.

Also, this will be the body that will put the Predator on a stretcher.

1026  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: MEXC, insanely low trading fees. How are these guys making money? on: August 22, 2023, 03:39:12 AM
There's nothing fishy about a temporary zero-trading fee promotion in line with the platform's 5th anniversary. Here's the official announcement. This is the fourth month of this anniversary promo. Although there is no specific end time of this zero-trading fee offer, I don't think this will be permanent. This is simply some kind of gift or a show of gratitude to their users.

Zero-trading fees is nothing new really, but always temporary just like Binance's which ended last March. KuCoin also provided zero trading fees to certain pairs when it also celebrated its 5th anniversary last year.

How long does this last because I would be very skeptical about zero fee trading. This anniversary promo might also be used to hide the reality that they are wash trading. Before Chinese exchanges were banned, when there was zero fees during bear markets, they will always implement wash trading to make it appear that there was increased volume.

Does anyone follow Dillon Danis on social media? He is going to fight Logan Paul in boxing on October 14 as part of the event of KSI vs Tommy Fury.
I don't know him but it seems that they're going to bag money again.

In any case, this is very funny. Dillon has been sharing pictures of Logan's fiancee with more than 10 different men and one of them was the fiancee dating Riffraff who appears to be not a very good human hehehe. Logan's response was a filing of a cease and desist order to stop the trolling. It appears everything is not good in paradise.



Whether he is fighting or not, Dillion Danis has never stopped flocking to social media, talking trash to and trolling countless people. So naturally, he has amped up these antics since the bout between he and Logan Paul was announced, posting pictures of Paul's girlfriend with various celebrities and ex's in order to mess with his foe.

Apparently, these trolling posts have led to Danis being contacted by Paul and his team, with them apparently telling the Bellator fighter to cease and desist the trolling, apparently even contacting authorities, otherwise Paul will withdraw from the contest.


Source https://www.mmanews.com/news/dillon-danis-cease-and-desist-trolling-logan-paul
If these are for real, I guess they're doing it as timely because of the upcoming fight. If this is what Dillon has been doing, he's having fun and trying to mental breakdown people like Logan or whomever he's going to be in his way. What a coincidence because I've just watched a vide of Logan that he just went to his girlfriend's crib with a surprise.

Tommy Fury is the brother of Tyson Fury. He also won against Jake Paul on February. KSI is another youtuber who also likes to fight in boxing very much like Jake and Logan hehehee. It appears we will witness another boxing event where there are professional fighters vs. youtubers.

Also, we cannot be certain if those pictures are real. I reckon Danis has shared more than 50 pictures of Logan's fiancee with different men, including older men. If this is real, Logan should reflect on his marriage proposal.

@Bushdark. Agreed. There will certainly be much drama in this trial and I speculate that CZ's name will be mentioned many times and it will be implied that CZ caused the collapse of FTX because of his dump on FTT without any mention that FTT was being used as collateral for Alameda Research's leverage trades.

On customer funds, they would be very lucky if they receive them within 2 years. The distribution might happen similar to Mtgox.
1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney on: August 21, 2023, 04:31:00 AM
We have witnessed Tank vs. King Ry, Inoue vs. Fulton and Crawford vs. Spence. I am shaking my head why this young Devin Haney does not fight Shakur Stevenson and risk is undisputed lightweight championship against the best. These young boxers are sometimes only good in trashtalk, however, the opponents in their records are not big names.

Perhaps that's the reason why the Haney's sign with PBC, as he doesn't want to rematch Loma or fight Top Ranks Shakur Stevenson. But maybe they realized that they eat more than they can chew in choosing a reigning 140 lbs titlist in Regis Prograis. Much better, and has more power than any fighter that they have fought and so they want to take control of the negotiations in any way they can.

@Darker45 - if I'm not mistaken, the date is supposedly Oct 28 for them to clash.

This might be why we continue to witness more boxing fans start watching MMA. The organization behind boxing is in disorder because of these different promotions that compete against each other and these different championships that have their own mandatory rules. I reckon this makes it difficult for the best to negotiate with the other best and also much of the time, they avoid each other.

More news
SBF submitted a request to see a lawyer outside prison for 5 days a week with a laptop and internet at his disposal.

The article mentions that only two days a week are given to check his case files, but no laptop and internet to see his lawyer.

Imagine if he could access the internet maybe he would transfer other assets or start another drama with other plotters, for 2 days or 5 days of course he would utilize the internet for his next mission.

If he had a laptop and an internet connection he might create a token called Bald in Coinbase's Base network and rugpull the holders by removing liquidity from the DEX hehehe.

There are some people in social media who speculate that Sam might use the Ghislaine Maxwell tactic if he is brought to prison by becoming a consistent prison complainer. According to them, Sam's mother is a lawyer who specializes in criminal reform. She can use the Ghislaine Maxwell tactic through Sam to open an argument for reforms in the American prison system.
1032  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Prosecution to use Caroline Ellison notes as evidence against SBF on: August 21, 2023, 01:46:13 AM
Did the US Department of Justice collect little evidence on this fool?
The problem here is that these 2 main drug addicts and their team did not act independently, and they had their patrons in higher authorities. Therefore, next year we will see even more vivid rhetoric of some American politicians before the elections.

Agreed. Sam and Caroline were also rumored to be lovers. This implies that they trusted each other. I would not be shocked if they had a scheme on how they can move the funds of FTX's customers around to cover Caroline Ellison's trading losses in Alameda.

Can Sam testify in court that he was being manipulated by Caroline through sex and drugs?

1033  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC signals appeal to XRP ruling on: August 21, 2023, 12:53:35 AM
News update.

This has cleared the question on XRP's status. I had an argument with someone in the forum where he said that XRP is sometimes a security, sometimes not a security depending on how it was sold. I shake my head on this because the ruling clearly said that XRP as a digital token is not in and of itself a contract, a transaction or a scheme that embodies the howey test requirements of an investment contract. These are the judges words.

In any case, this is another victory for the cryptospace.



In a significant turn of events, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has publicly affirmed the nonsecurity status of digital assets, including XRP. This announcement comes as part of the regulatory body’s motion to appeal the Ripple victory ruling.

The SEC stated in the newly filed motion:

“The SEC does not seek appellate review of any holding relating to the fact that the underlying assets here are nothing but computer code with no inherent value.”

Is this the same Bald token that was being issued and traded in Coinbase's new Base network? I am very sorry to be again the messenger of bad news, however, if we are talking about the same token, this is a rugpull speculated to be created by Sam Bankman-Fried or someone who want to make it appear that it was him.



The rug-pulling of short-lived, heavily hyped meme coin bald (BALD) has a whole cast of characters, but is one of them Sam Bankman-Fried?

On-chain data suggests interactions between the memecoin BALD’s deployer contract and one of the wallets tagged by Nansen as belonging to Alameda Research - the trading company founded and controlled by Bankman-Fried. The data was cited by several blockchain sleuths on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter and later validated by CoinDesk.

Wintermute’s head of research, Igor Igamberdiev, tied another wallet address 0xccFa05 to Alameda, stating its owner showed strong technical capabilities and proved to be a savvy DeFi user: Trading on the first version of dYdX and Oasis, as well as voting on the first proposals from SushiSwap.

Just make it easy and buy Bitcoin on PayPal directly. But if you want to do it on Bitstamp, as said, you're fine.

1. Explore crypto articles. to learn about digital currencies and how they work.
2. Go to Finances. and select Crypto from the dashboard.
3. Choose your crypto. select Buy, and choose the amount you'd like to purchase.
It's interesting but I don't see any feature related to cryptos on the website. Is it only available on their app for smartphones? Besides that do you know if it works in every country because I had to use a VPN and to log out from my Paypal account to be able to see the page from your link.  Undecided

I am quite certain that it will not work in every country because of concerns on compliance usually in Europe and maybe in the same jurisdictions where big exchanges similar to Binance were banned.

Also, I would be careful in logging in and using payment processors and exchanges with a VPN. They are unpredictable sometimes.
1038  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal becomes first major fintech to launch dollar-backed stablecoin on: August 18, 2023, 04:16:29 AM
Twitter is mad at the following:



Apparently, in PayPal USD the issuer can enter an “asset protection mode” and “block” and “seize” assets.
In addition to that it can raise the max issued limit without any problems.

A lot of criticism about these features: “Bitcoin has fixed max issuance”, “Not your Keys, not your coins", "transaction censorship!" "Central issuer attack vector!"


Well... what did you expect?
If PayPal just wanted a cheap, reliable, censorship-resistant way of allowing their customer to transfer economic value, they would have implemented... Lightning.


Well, you do realize that PayPal is a fully "official" payment system, plus a high-tech one, and is obliged to comply with ALL legislation. Including the possibility of blocking assets, as it is now with accounts and accounts in the system. There is an assumption - that in this stablecoin will be realized some mechanisms from the CDBC concept. What is this about ? It means that in all CDBC implementations there is a mechanism of total control and CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT of accounts. I.e. if a "complaint" comes in, the wallet/transaction, as if "decentralized", will be suddenly blocked.  This is not some "hidden mechanism", it is a requirement of regulators and legal framework, realized in the form of blockchain technology.

Agreed and this is not only for solving a compliance nightmare. There are some people in social media who argue that because the real value and usage of Paypal's stablecoin comes from the users' ability to legally redeem it for real dollars. According to them, asset protection mode lessens the risk for users to receive PYUSD that Paypal might not be allowed legally to redeem.

In any case, these are not my words or analysis, do not shoot the messenger heehhehe. My own analysis, I agree this is dangerous, however, what can we hope for from Paypal? We can only live in reality.

Why are the people in this thread very strict? You are acting like toxic maximalists hehehehehee.

Its just my instinctual reaction for any drive-by shitposter. Quite happy this thread is moderated.

This guy in particular didn't even take the time to differentiate the type of game being played that we're discussing in this thread. He could have looked at the shape of the ball icon in the title for clues but didn't have time cause he's too busy shitposting from several different accounts.

Worst of all, I know he copies news articles written in a foreign language and then translates them to English, but for the life of me I can't figure out what language it is.

On Justin Fields, he might become a top 10 quarterback and he might also be ranked higher than Justin Herbert by the end of this season. Do not shake your heads, this will happen.

I dunno about that... what does Fields have to work with? Not much...

I was not being serious hehehe.

On Justin Fields, do not underestimate him, according to my gameboys he is 6th in the top rankings for quarterbacks and Justin Herbert on 7th.

It also appears the we need to update our cheatsheets. Dalvin Cook was traded to the Jets and Zeke Elliott was traded to the Patriots. How does this impact Breece Hall and Rhamondre Stevenson? This might move them down the rankings, I reckon.
