1181  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.

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.
1184  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.
1187  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?

1188  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.”

1191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some smart guy converted $1000 to 1 million in one day with $BALD coin on: August 19, 2023, 03:51:40 AM
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.

Rugpulled by Sam on FTX, rugpulled again on Bald token hehehehehee.

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.
1193  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.

Cant provide with some TA analysis on here but we know that Technicals could easily be fucked up suddenly by sudden news or simply with Fundamentals.

Unpacking SpaceX Bitcoin 2021-2022 sales worth $373M
Elon Musk’s SpaceX Liquidates Entire $373,000,000 Bitcoin Stash

This is why i dont really trust up technicals most of the time specially that news something similar or like this could pop out just like in a blink of an eye.
Feel sorry for those who had made out some long positions for sure they had been liquidated.

It appears that I am not very updated to cryptonews as I would have liked hehe. I have always thought that Elon's companies have already sold all of the bitcoins held in their treasury on 2021 - 2022.

In any case, it appears that Tesla has 10,725 bitcoins left in their balance sheet according to some articles, the speculation should presently be if Elon will give the command to sell them also. This will be head shaking because clown Elon declared bitcoin a long term investment on 2021 and he said that Tesla will accept it as payment.
1198  Economy / Gambling / Re: BC.Game-🔴🔴🔴BET RED IN CRASH!🔴🔴🔴 Find More Unique Games! on: August 17, 2023, 05:37:44 AM
I cannot stop laughing hehehehe.

Has anyone also noticed that there is always a scam accusation in 90% of the threads of every casino trying to promote their business in the forum? Many of the scam accusations are also started by new accounts. This is head shaking. The skeptical me would think that these people are hired and funded by fiat sportsbooks and casinos to spam and attack gambling services that are native to the cryptospace.
I cannot either.
This guy created this account to post about it. He even published in the Bangladesh Local thread that the BC game is a scam and asked others not to play there without understanding that JB is playing money and it cannot be withdrawn. If someone has any currency in the Bc game balance, it also shows in fiat like USD or other currencies. If that coin does not show, anything means it is worthless.

Sometimes we have to see such scam accusations while nothing happened, and the accuser acts like this is the end of the world. Look at his writing style. He used Capital letters to get the community's attention while proving himself DUMB.

There are also other occurrences of scam accusations where the accuser is a newbie, however, the account was created before 2016 - 2017. I am not accusing that these are farmed accounts but it appear for me only that they might be farmed accounts being used for some purpose. How impossible would it be that someone can hire account farmers to provoke a certain group of users of casinos or services in the cryptospace?
1199  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: More Regulation Incoming! on: August 17, 2023, 04:51:53 AM
@zasad@. I am not quite certain why hehehe. I also do not know what would be the best financial decision to manage $72 billion. However, if Tether and Paypal have trust the in American government and also have trust in their ability to once again get out of another economic crisis then for them it would be a good financial decision because they earn yield.

It is very much similar to us DeFi enjoyers who farm our stablecoins for yield but also taking the risk that the platform might be hacked or might be a rugpull hehehehe.
1200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal UK To (Temporally) Halt Bitcoin and Crypto Purchases on: August 17, 2023, 04:20:10 AM
My prediction. The future of Paypal in the cryptospace will be their stablecoin to cryptocoin swaps. Your fiat in their platform will need to be converted to PYUSD if you want to buy crypto. On Paypal UK, I reckon might begin to allow bitcoin and other cryptocoin purchases again when they are ready to issue their stablecoin for UK accounts and only allow cryptocoin purchases through their stablecoin.

In any case, Paypal has also signed a partnership with Ledger hardware wallet.



After launching an Ethereum-based stablecoin last week, PayPal, the $70B global payments firm, has launched a new fiat on-ramp for U.S. users in partnership with Ledger, a leading hardware wallet maker.

Ledger Live users can now purchase BTC, ETH, LTC, and BCH via a PayPal account, subject to state laws. PayPal noted that users who have previously purchased crypto via a PayPal account can access the service without undergoing additional identity verification.
