@Rikafip. It appears your joke on the hack being done by the Lazarus group was really a good prediction hehehe. However the skeptical me asks, is it confirmed that the hackers who hacked stake.com are really done by the Lazarus group? Similar to what you said, anything presently could be blamed on North Korea. I reckon the DOJ also used the Tornado Cash and North Korea storyline to force an executive order. What is their new agenda?

Also, I am very much in doubt that the hackers would accidentally connect their addresses by mistake. This might be intentional.

According to some rumors being shared on social media, the members of Milady's development team are fighting each other. There was an attempt of an extorsion on the project and the other team members filed a lawsuit against the extortionist group.

Source https://docs.remilia.org/lawsuit.pdf

However, there is something head shaking in the lawsuit. It mentioned that the plantiff is Krishna Okhandiar and according to other rumors this person is someone from the government who is also working on Palantir.

Palantir is a dataminer being funded by the CIA.

These are only speculations, however.
1083  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinex hacked, $18M stolen? on: September 13, 2023, 04:37:08 AM
The last one was Staked.com. Although Stake is not an exchange but a gambling site, but it is still centralized and holding customers fund on hot wallet which makes them vulnerable to the hack. Centralized exchanges that have been hacked before are because of the hot wallet that they are using.

Not good to hold coins on exchanges. If $18 million worth of coins  is stolen from the exchange, it is not going to be easy.

Edit: I do not know how true this is, that more coins are stolen. That $27.8 million in ether, tron and polygon has been stolen.

There is a difference in size stolen compared to size of company, however. Stake lost $41 million according to some reports but their monthly revenue is very much larger than this which implies that they will make this stolen amount back within 2 years.

On Coinex, it is a small exchange with a 24 hour trading volume of only $25 million. The impact of this hack is bigger, I reckon. Also, this is the bear market. Revenues will be much lower.

@JayJuanGee. There is another that does not add up. Sam is almost obese, however, the cryptonews media declare that he is vegan hehehehe.

In any case, news update on Sam Tabasco. There is a court filing that exhibits a trading account in FTX might have special powers heheheheee. There is a user called trabby under Alameda Research's main account which appears this account cannot be liquidated. It is not certain if this username belongs to Sam Tabasco, however.

1085  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Binance the next to bite the dust or FUD? on: September 13, 2023, 03:25:43 AM
News update.

Another binance.us CEO has bitten the dust and according to this article, more than 100 employees have been removed from the exchange. How many more months does everyone speculate does binance.us have? Will it continue to exist after the next halving of bitcoin?

We cannot be quite certain how many more times CZ can hold the fingers 4 hehehe.



Binance.US Chief Executive Officer Brian Shroder has left the crypto trading platform and been replaced on an iterim basis by Chief Legal Officer Norman Reed, according to a company spokesperson. The departure comes as the company controlled by embattled digital entrepreneur Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is eliminating about one third of its workforce, or more than 100 positions, as a regulatory crackdown erodes its business.

It’s the second round of job cuts this year at the Miami-based firm as it faces a series of mounting legal and operational challenges. In June, the US Securities and Exchange Commission accused Binance Holdings, Zhao and Binance.US with mishandling customer funds, misleading investors and regulators, and breaking securities rules. Zhao and the companies have denied the allegations.

1086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The next trending storyline in DeFi might be RWA on: September 12, 2023, 04:25:21 AM
@passwordnow. I would agree that the early investors on RWA are gamblers, however, if the inflow of fiat and stablecoins are increasing quickly from $5 billion total value locked to more than $500 billion total value locked, I reckon this would be a gamble that will give you a higher chance of winning if you are early.
I agree. I think this is the new trend that gambling is going to be. Maybe it's still in the early stages but this can only be accessed by those who have capital and expertise in the financial sector.

I very much disagree. DeFi is open finance. I speculate that it will not only b Blackrock. There will be more institutions from traditional finance that will tokenize different types of RWA and they will be available for anyone who can run a metamask wallet to access DeFi. They expertise needed that you say might be the timing on when to buy or sell, very much similar to trading cryptocoins hehehehe.

What a brutal day for me.  Got handed to in fantasy, lost jk Dobbins for the year in the process and then had to sit through the night game as a giants fan.  I don't think I have ever seen a worse game than that one right there.  I hope the season doesn't look like that all year

It might be a similar situation for Cooper Kupp also. The first reports said that he will be out for only week 1 then news updates came that he will be out for 4 weeks. However, there are other speculations that it might be questionable if he can return by week 10. This is more than 50% of the regular season without my best widereceiver.

In any case, who drafted Josh Allen? My prayers and wish this type of performance was only for week 1 hehehe. He did not look like an MVP candidate vs. the Jets.

Does anyone know the anonymous and famous trader who calls himself @GiganticRebirth on social media? According to Alan Turning, there are signs and similarities in his tweets and the tweets of Republican presidential nominee Vivek Ramaswamy.

It might only be a coincidence, however, I will share the tweets and leave it for all of you to speculate. The tweets include pictures and images from instagram, I cannot summarize them. It is much better to read them yourself.

@mk4. Yes, Cory needs to change custodians or he needs to spend many hours deleting his tweets where he said that Ripple is a scam and Chris Larsen and Brad Garlichouse is a scammer hehe.

On a more serious speculation, it appears Ripple is beginning to slowly acquire crypto custodial companies before the next bull market. What is their agenda?
1090  Economy / Speculation / Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin can go to $5 million? on: September 12, 2023, 02:19:30 AM
This is according to cryptonews media bitcoinlfg.com' Twitter account. However, I do not see this shared or reported on any of the other cryptonews media websites. Is this fake news or does Michael Saylor need to promise that he will eat his dick on national television to get this prediction more attention hehehhee.

1091  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for September on: September 11, 2023, 04:40:05 AM
@khiholangkang. There is also Mtgox's repayment date. This is coming on the last week of October according to some articles.

I have said that the market is in a bullish stage where it is in disbelief before entering the real bull market. However, it will certainly not be without challenges and difficulties.



Mt. Gox expects to repay a total of more than 10,000 crypto creditors from all over the world by the end of October. Despite the exchange losing 850,000 BTC, Mt. Gox will only repay part of the total losses from the hack because the firm could only recover some of the funds.

According to online reports, Mt. Gox will reimburse its creditors 142,000 BTC ($4.3 billion) and 143,000 in forked cryptocurrency

1092  Economy / Service Discussion / Swan Bitcoin's custodian acquired by Ripple on: September 11, 2023, 04:04:50 AM
This acquisition is both comedy and head shaking at the same time for Swan Bitcoin's CEO Cory Klippsten because he has been one of Ripple's biggest critic in social media, also calling Ripple a scam. Presently Swan Bitcoin is now called the frontend of Ripple by XRP supporters in social media hehehehehe.



Blockchain firm Ripple has acquired Fortress Trust, a Nevada-based chartered trust company with a crypto and Web3 focus, the company said in an email on Friday.

Financial terms for the acquisition were not disclosed. Ripple declined to disclose further details when contacted by CoinDesk, though a person with knowledge of the matter said the price tag was less than the $250 million it paid for custody firm Metaco in May.

I thought I would have one of the worst teams on week 1, however, my team is not performing that bad considering that Cooper Kupp is presently in IR. I am excited for week 2!

In any case watching this Cowboys more powerful defense to supplement their offense, the developing storyline will be from Dak to dominate NFC East, to win NFC and to fight for the Superbowl hehehe. This year's script will be about the Cowboys.
1094  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] FTX on: September 11, 2023, 02:25:07 AM
@JayJuanGee. His official location is he might be on his yacht sailing international waters where he cannot be under any law of any jurisdiction and he might only secretly be docking on land through another boat if wants rest and recreation hehehhe.

Also, if you look more deeply on the history about Sam, other Sam, FTX and Alameda, where did they come from? Their story is nothing similar to CZ or Jesse Powell where you knew they were in crypto for years before they became successful. On Sam no one knew who they were or Caroline or Gary Wang. They suddenly became crypto celebrities.
1095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: VITALIK "X" ACCOUNT HACKED on: September 11, 2023, 01:56:29 AM
Plot twist Vitalik Buterin X account wasn't get hacked, but he act like he was get hacked because there's already a victim fall into his scam.

There's nothing can be trusted here, no proof if Vitalik Buterin was get hacked and we can't verify it. The best way if someone offer anything, you need to ask him to sign a message, so you can know if it's really him or not.

Is that confirmed? What is the real story here? He shared a phishing link by mistake? Certainly we cannot accuse Vitalik of sharing a phishing link himself to scam his followers or can we accuse him of working with a hacker and let the hacker borrow his account. It would be very head shaking if he did.

In any case, everyone should be very skeptical on offers of free NFTs from influencers even if they are real. Much of them is a waste of gas fees.
1096  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC vs NFTs on: September 10, 2023, 07:16:44 AM
@avikz. It is very arguable if NFTs offer zero value or not because for collectors, they offer cultural value and what the market appears to show us, they also offer financial value. The cryptospace might be redefining the idea of value very much similar to how money has value. It is an abstraction similar to how Pokemon cards have value for their collectors who are willing to buy, sell and trade them.

In any case, similar to what was mentioned, another judge might do the SEC's job for them and uncle Gary might lose another case.

1097  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] FTX on: September 10, 2023, 06:49:20 AM
@bbc.reporter, I don't know about this guy but I just discovered one more interesting detail. In addition to the four senior leaders of FTX who have pleaded guilty, we also have a very rarely mentioned character, Sam Trabucco. This is the official CEO of Alameda, and Caroline Ellison was only CEO of Alameda for a year before FTX went bankrupt. So far, Sam Trabucco has not been arrested, and the question is whether he knew something, or if there was a larger force backing him.

Another piece of information I just found is that the SBF trial will take place in March 2024 instead of October 2023 as expected.



That is the other Sam, the Sam who retired before everything went to shit with Alameda and when they took billions in loans and used FTX's illiquid token FTT as collateral. It might also be possible that other Sam is a secret agent working for the government. Once his work was done and knew what would happen to FTX, he resigned. Why is the SEC or another government agency not asking questions about him?
1098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: September 10, 2023, 06:09:42 AM
I guess the SEC will approve all of them, all at the same time.
Approving one of them before the other it will mean picking a winner, something the SEC isn’t clearly intended to do as they would be subject to an handful of potentially disruptive litigations.
So I guess Grayscale discount is a good indicator for all the ETF approvals.

Yes, as I have said, it might be good for the followers of this thread to have something similar to the wall observer thread where you update the information on GBTC's percentage on net asset value vs. bitcoin.

I reckon an update twice a month might be enough. This would certainly open much discussion and speculation. It might also help some people to know when to buy bitcoin hehehe.
1099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: September 10, 2023, 05:52:34 AM
@Rampagoe004. Agreed and what has just occurred might be the biggest upset in the history of UFC championship fights in Australia, near where Izzy lives and resides. The Australian fans accepted it and cheered for Sean Strickland when he made his speech.

Also, no it is not yet UFC 294. What awaits us on next fight week is much bigger. It will be 2 sexy fighting kittens and for this @pawel7777 cannot do anything if I post their sexy pictures hehehe.
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: September 09, 2023, 04:45:08 AM
The poll has 38 votes and the statistics are quite stunning:

Tyson         - 21 (55.3%)
Ngannou    - 17 (44.7%)


I am surprised at the number of members that have rated Ngannou to have a chance to cause an upset when he will be facing Tyson Fury in the ring. He might get some success within the fight here and there but it will be a big task for him to win.
I will give my vote to Ngannou. Now the poll looks like this:
Tyson - 21 (53.8%)
Ngannou - 18 (46.2%)

and still Fury has an advantage, although not a big one. Fury and Ngannou met for the first time yesterday, and Ngannou pointed out Fury's overweight, and Fury, as always, was very verbose in response.  Grin

Fury also said that he would like to fight Ngannou according to the UFC rules, that he is confident that he will defeat him. Self-confidence is good, but I think that in this case Fury simply won’t have a chance.

This is only trashtalk from Fury hehe. I am 100% certain Tyson Fury will not win in MMA against Francis Ngannou. MMA gloves are different. Ngannou might kill Fury with one knockout punch and it will be Tommy Fury bringing the stretcher to carry his brother to the hospital hehehehe. Ngannou can also shockingly wrestle and he did this with only one healthy knee vs. Cyril Gane.
