His posterior. He's gone full BCH and is now executing stunningly advanced psyops tactics on us all. I've never seen anything quite so refined in all my years of regime destruction.

It all depends on what Bitcoin gets up to.

XEM actually reach a dollar ATH just a few days ago of about 31c but I saw no mention of it here at all. It was about 8700 satoshis.

I think there's a point where you reach peak forkage. If there's one every day fatigue will set in rapidly. Alts at least have the luxury of claiming to be something new.

Even if it is 'friendly' it's still not helpful.

And it also has the magic three letters of I C & O

I have only placed one bet in my entire life. That was on a horse at a point to point race deep in the countryside. I think my win was 12x the bet. I decided it wasn't going to get any better than that and never did it again.

Like I said, I'll be fine but the only mention I can find of these restrictions is on the Xapo website. Not on Twitter or via email. That's pretty bad form. A lot of people won't visit these sites for months.

Almost all cards are Wave Crest issued.

I disposed of one at 0.22. The rest can wait as there's no way it's dying that easily. However I genuinely won't give a shit if it goes to zero even if it means missing out on being able to swap it for more real BTC.

I have two cards which are both Wave Crest issued, Bitpay and Xapo, yet haven't heard from either of them. I am in Europe, but I assume they're not going to bother filtering the emails so no one's been told directly. There's also no mention on Twitter.

I wonder how many people will be caught out by this. It's poor form.

According to that BCH now has panhandlers going out in the street. Impressive stuff.

It badly, badly needs this but it really doesn't seem to be on the cards anywhere. I find it deeply weird how invisible it still is despite everything and all the utter shite attracting hundreds of times more attention. All the while it sits in there in the top 10.

Despite the oft quoted catchphrase here, attention is not a bad thing.

Kraken have just delisted a mass of trading pairs to concentrate on not being shit so that's a no goer regardless.

Yes. As far as I know it's the one and only exchange that regularly publishes audits of its holdings. It's been around for a good while now.

You might find the banking a bit of a grind though. Though it's priced in GBP you have to wire to somewhere like Poland. The marketplace option is set up like Localbitcoins I think so you won't have to dick around with that, it's only for the actual exchange.

Let's give it a whirl.

It does indeed.

I think the majority of truly influential people have either disappeared from here or have cut back radically on their posting. It's not how it was in the old days when it was nothing but true believers.

If you're looking for people to push your projects, almost everyone who's anyone will be on Twitter, much less so here these days.

Good to see $4500 taken out. That was a sticky one. Have sellers retired completely?

Crypto will get battered too. It's not a safe haven. It's an extreme speculation. When you can't afford to feed your dog, your wayward bets are the first thing to be liquidated.

They're claiming they have special banking arrangements for their 'institutional investors' presumably linked to some shell company on an obscure Caribbean island registered to a toothless fisherman on a beach.

That's exactly what Wall St likes to deal with.

The explosion of Tether does make sense if all USD related to Bitfinex moved into it, but I don't see how it got there.

Instead of saying anything about cashing in USDT for real dollars via the Tether bank accounts they said people could swap it for real USD on Kraken. So in effect it's offloading the backing onto other mugs who believe it'll ever be redeemable.

Be strong. It'll probably fall a long, long way from here before they ignite the engines. You'll have a grace period of extreme smugness.

Of course, but for some the temptation is too strong.

And the people who were caught all did some incredibly stupid things. Ross Ulbricht and Alphaboy used their public emails. The sheep marketplace bloke spent millions of Euros on mansions and used toddler-level money laundering to buy them.

The tools are there to enable successful operation, but it seems people are too slack, greedy or lazy to make proper use of them.

Of course it will. The people who bought it off the dumpers will mainly be the usual exchange pumpers. Even if miners slowly lose interest, pumpers are not so discerning. Stunning junk has gone through the roof repeatedly. This won't be any different.

I approve of solidity. I don't approve of their excessive approach. If I had significant sums there's no way I'd trust them with it in case it triggered their paranoia. Once you're verified that should be enough.

I've traded way more through conventional stock trading sites and they never wanted anything more than the usual ID and I never heard from their 'support' again.
