@nutildah. I also got similar reactions in the meta subforum. They were not calling me a scammer, however. But what they do not yet understand is that with the rising popularity of AI to produce text and images, we would not know if the people we are interacting on the internet with are AI or real people. This might then bring a rising popularity for digital signatures usage and NFT usage to prove that it was you, the person, who posted a text or shared an image on the internet.
In any case, for my compute cluster, I do not have the budget for 500 Atari Lynx IIs hehhehee.

@Rikafip. What if the SEC is getting some advice from Sam Bankman-Fried on how to manuever a good crackdown against Binance? They can also do a big short on BNB tokens similar to what CZ was speculated to have done on FTT, that he shorted the FTT futures market and did his big dump on the FTT spot market hehehe.
The skeptical me would think that Sam made a deal like this if he is freed or if he is given a very minor slap on the wrist.

But I still doubt it. I believe that odds change automatically. It can't happen that both suddenly become underdogs in the odds. They will go bankrupt if they provide such odds.
Don't focus too much on an obvious mistake; we all know the odds are not like that, as it would not work in favor of the casino. No casino would go bankrupt, so they'll provide odds that benefit them. As for the current odds, they haven't changed yet; Crawford is still the favorite to win. I'm also waiting for alternative odds – you know, odds with a big multiplier – and I'll be expecting some crazy things to happen, like an early KO. The fight is still on July 29, the odds can definitely change, and 1.50 is possible when bettors see some gym exercises, press con, and the face-off. Watching a lot of boxing celebrities picking whom are they rooting for and I think it's convincing enough when they say Crawford will succeed over Spence. The majority of their fights ended in less than 5 rounds, I would also expect them to end quickly. They are both taking the risk here and are glad to see they didn't wait until 45 years old to do the exhibition. I very much disagree. What might occur is Spence odds might become close to 2.00. I also do not see a lot of boxing celebrities easily say that they choose Crawford over Spence. It is always with a warning that this is going to be a close fight. Also, you expect it to end quickly? Hehehe I shake my head on that comment. Both of these boxers are very tough. Crawford was never knocked down in his whole career and Spence was only knocked down once after so many rounds in the ring. This might end with a decision. Over 10.5 rounds is only 1.40. |

felt this one in the feels  I do have something planned to do in July/August, not exactly sure how I'm gonna execute it yet, but if the market cooperates and fees aren't still shit b/c of ordinals/brc20, it could really be a thing. We'll see. It's relevant to the topic of discussion, which is why I mention it. Our own NFL fantasy league NFT profile pictures? I would be happy to get one! To have NFTs as profile pictures to flex would certainly bring some fun back in the forum. If we had our own fantasy league profile pictures it would make it appear that we are part of an exclusive group hehehe. If only signature campaigns were not very strict in requiring partcipants to use their profile pictures. In any case, my compute cluster of 1000 gameboys to process my 2023 draft order is ready. |

First of all, NFT is not cryptocurrency. It's just a very simple use case of blockchain and will die down sooner than you expect.
Secondly, the idea of cryptocurrency goes directly against the ideology of Communist party of China. So I don't see China taking over as a crypto leader anytime in the future. However, countries like Singapore can become the powerhouse of cryptocurrency business and then Dubai can take over the 2nd spot. Not China.
I very much disagree that NFT will die down sooner. It has the potential to have financial value similar to cryptocurrency and not only that, it also has cultural value for the community that own and hold them. I would also argue that because of the regulators in America are presently going after tokens and classifying them as illegal securities, some investments in tokens might go to NFT. Also, I am not quite certain if you are updated with the news, however, China has been opening up on the cryptospace again. I have been sharing news all over the forum about this. That's fine! We are allowed to have different opinions. We are not living in North Korea! NFT market is the best way for new-age money launderers to make their money white. So yes, the market may not die down soon because money laundering will always take place and those JPG images on blockchain will see an increase in value. Afterall, someone has to buy it at a high price to show the investment and then sell it off at an even higher price. But NFT market has no utility at all, apart from parking money and laundering money. I can make thousands of copies of these images and flood the market at any point in time. So I am not sure what cultural values you are referring to. If someone has money, buy an original painting by the renowned painters. That would fetch much higher return on investment. I predict that the NFT market will die down in the next 2 years. Hopefully, I will still be around that time. You cannot just dismiss it as only an opinion because look at the NFTspace. It is growing and has created many different platforms that act as infrastructure like Opensea, Looksrare and Blur. Multiple wallets like Metamask have implemented NFTs in their software, centralized exchanges have NFT sections created in their sites, what else do you need to use as proof that it will not go away in the next 2 years? I predict that you will certainly be still around in 2 years to witness the growth of the NFTspace by more than 2x. This is a very conservative estimate. |

Lower fees: Without intermediaries, DEXs often have lower transaction fees, making them attractive to frequent traders.
Cons:
Limited liquidity: DEXs face liquidity challenges as they rely on user-generated liquidity. This can result in wider spreads and less favorable prices for certain assets.
Lower fees is not accurate. The fees on using a decentralized exchange are not always low and depending on the chain, fees can go as high as more than $50 per trade similar to Ethereum during moments when there is high usage. Also, agreed that limited liquidity might be a problem, however, if you are only a small minnow like me, this would not be that big of a problem. Lower liquidity also implies that tokens can pump higher than usual which would be very advantageous for us hehe. In any case, small minnow traders in the forum should be encouraged to try DeFi and trade in decentralized exchanges. Trading low liquidity, high volatile tokens that are not listed in centralized exchanges are more profitable if you know what you are doing. |

I am not quite certain if I should be optimistic or not because the SEC with uncle Gary in charge have denied all applications for a Bitcoin ETF.
This news development also appears like the cryptonews media have no more new storylines to write and have decided to reuse an old storyline from 2020 and 2021 hehehe. Does BlackRock know something or will we be their exit liquidity again?

It’d really be quite ironic if China ignites the next bull run after they played a huge part negatively impacting & effectively nullifying the previous one by banning bitcoin & forcing miners to leave.
I know they are somewhat being open to crypto in Hong Kong now but I am sceptical that they will suddenly open the gates to the whole country to enable mass buying by retail investors.
I hope China seize the opportunity that is possibly being given to them by a hostile regulatory environment in the US. Let’s wait & see how it develops.
Hehehe this should not really come as a shock, I reckon. China has already begun stimulating their economy by loosening their monetary policy and create an environment where it is easier for their consumers to get credit and liquidity. I speculate that by the time the cryptospace is welcomed through the borders of Shanghai, China will be overflowing with liquidity that will be ready to flow into crypto. Xi Jinping’s government is preparing to stimulate consumer spending and prop up the property sector to boost the faltering economy under policies which will underpin commodity prices and benefit Australian exporters, economists and business chiefs say.
Top Australian executives at companies trading with China said there would be some short-term pain from the myriad of pressures on China’s economy, but they were confident a stimulus package would turn the heat down in the short term.
“The government is signalling pretty clearly they will use monetary policy which we are seeing,” Mark Whelan, ANZ Bank’s head of institutional, told The Australian Financial Review from Shanghai.
“I would expect some of the other stimulus they are still working through is more likely to be about how they will move the property market in the direction they want.Source https://www.afr.com/world/asia/china-shifts-to-stimulus-to-salvage-faltering-economy-20230614-p5dgfc |

Unconfirmed news update.
According to some people in social media, the Judge who is charge of the SEC's case against Binance has denied the request to freeze Binance.us assets. I have not researched if there was a legal reason why, however, the judge might be more concerned about what it might do to the market. If this update is true, it also shows that the SEC does not care about protecting consumers when it requested for Binance.us' assets to be frozen. The market might dump again in fear if something like this goes to the news.
In any case, I am sick and I will have my rest hehe.

It looks like the rumors are all true that he is going to retire but I doubt it's permanent based on this article Lopez has been battling complicated situations outside the ring, including turmoil with his family and a contentious divorce and custody battle. That may have been the main catalyst for his statements to reporters after his win.
https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/teofimo-lopez-jr-claims-to-be-retired-in-aftermath-of-massive-win-over-josh-taylor/This could be the factor that leads to his early retirement but we never knew he is too good to retire many will encourage him to go back to the ring because there are still a lot of challenges and goal to complete and he still has a bright future.  Image from : Babalabrute-boxing Facebook page This does not make sense, I reckon. The skeptical me thinks that he is trying to create a storyline for the fans to demand his return, which might give him more power to negotiate for more money. Was there not a quick interview after the fight where he said that he was not being paid enough money? This certainly is a business decision. He will be in the ring if he gets paid the right amount hehe. |

It is very head scratching for me when much of the people begin being very bearish on a project, it signals the bottom then the project's token starts to pump hehe. This might be another similar occurence with Sui.
I am not quite certain what is happening in the project, however, it appears that the project's development is doing okay. Coorect me if I am wrong because I only checked their social media accounts for this.
In any case, I speculate Sui token will be one of the biggest pumps if the revelation of the Hinman documents brings optimism to the market.

That's BS news. The lizardmen are going to abuse just about any mixer they can get their hands on in order to launder their money, so why should association with them mean that the mixers should get shutdown? What about all the exchanges which enable the withdrawals to take place? And the shadow Paypal accounts and other payment apps? And the banks turning a blind eye to their deposits? People should look at the whole picture, else we will soon live in a world where it would not be viewed as draconian to say something like "Linux enables privacy therefore it is only for criminals, because privacy = crime".  The lizardmen do not need mixers or the cryptospace to launder their money. They have traditional banking and finance to do it for them. The difference is the lizardmen are the only people who have access to the moneylaundering function of traditional finance hehehehe. Small minnows like us do not have the income bracket to be included in their group. However there is good news, the usage of the cryptospace for moneylaundering is open to all individuals. The lizardmen and the leaders in traditional finance do not like this. The lizardmen do not want the small minnows to have the same superpowers as them and the leaders of traditional finance do not like competition in their moneylaundering business. For that reason, the lizardmen are now presently using their people in the government to attack and crackdown on crypto. The lizardmen also use their people in mainstream news media to write head shaking articles similar to this. Axie Infinity
If I told you that US venture capitalists promoted a Ponzi scheme that used a cartoon computer game to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from poor workers in the Philippines and send it to North Korea to fund a ballistic missile program, you probably wouldn’t believe me. Unless I said “… using crypto,” in which case you would probably say “oh yeah that sounds about right.” The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend.
Last year an engineer working for the blockchain gaming company Sky Mavis thought he was on the cusp of a new job that would pay more money.
A recruiter had reached out to him via LinkedIn, and after the two spoke over the phone, the r
ecruiter gave the engineer a document to review as part of the interview process.
But the recruiter was part of a vast North Korean operation aimed at bringing in funds to the cash-poor dictatorship. And the document was a Trojan Horse, malicious computer code that gave the North Koreans access to the engineer’s computer and allowed hackers to break into Sky Mavis. Ultimately they stole more than $600 million—mostly from players of Sky Mavis’s digital pets game, Axie Infinity.
It was the country’s biggest haul in five years of digital heists that have netted more than $3 billion for the North Koreans, according to the blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis. That money is being used to fund about 50% of North Korea’s ballistic missile program, U.S. officials say, which has been developed in tandem with its nuclear weapons.
Super! Venture capitalists have largely pivoted from crypto to artificial intelligence, and while the popular view is that AI has a higher probability of wiping out humanity than crypto does, “crypto funds the North Korean missile program” would be a funny way for crypto to kill us all before a rogue AI can.Source https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-06-12/three-arrows-had-a-fun-bubble |

What might really be happening behind these lawsuits and crackdowns vs. Binance and Coinbase. The biggest firms from traditional finance might be encouraging and supporting Gensler in his campaign against the cryptospace to give these big firms an opening for a takeover on crypto. Soros Fund Management's CEO, Dawn Fitzpatrick, might have shown her company's intentions in this interview. The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s consecutive lawsuits against crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase put the crypto market at risk of paring its near-50% rally year-to-date. However, Dawn Fitzpatrick, the CEO of Soros Fund Management, asserted that the recent tumult provides an opportunity for traditional finance to “take the lead.”
During the Bloomberg Investment Summit, Fitzpatrick assessed the significance of blockchain technology and added that “crypto is here to stay.” “What’s happened is clearly a setback. But right now, I actually think it’s a huge opportunity for the incumbent financial firms to actually take the lead,” commented the official.
While the CEO noted the irony behind suggesting a TradFi takeover of crypto, the lack of trust towards platforms like Binance was one of the reasons. She also alluded to the fact that average consumers and traders would likely benefit from such a shift as traditional institutions “segregate client assets” properly.Source https://coinchapter.com/sec-vs-exchanges-battle-made-crypto-ripe-for-a-takeover-says-soros-fund-management/ |

What American companies of the cryptospace should do. Hire problockchain people who used to work as regulators for the government. Also, it would be another advantage if they were not affiliated with the Democrats because there is a higher chance the next administration might be run by a Republican hehe. These companies will need the right rainmakers to attract institutional clients in their platforms. Stablecoin issuer Circle hired Heath Tarbert as its chief legal officer and head of corporate affairs, effective from July 1.
In 2019, Trump appointed Tarbert chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Tarbert left the agency in 2021, succeeded by the current chair, Rostin Behnam.
Tarbert is just one among several former US regulators who have become involved in crypto businesses after their stints in public service.Source https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/circle-hires-former-trump-cftc-head-tarbert-as-top-lawyer/ |

I voted ‘Yup’ in the poll. I don’t necessarily think we will moon in June but I think the price will be higher at June close than it was at June open. We are in the very early days of transitioning from bear market into bull market. I think the price will begin to creep up soon (if macro environment allows it). Just be calm & wait for parabolic upwards movement in the not too distant future (next 2 years).
I am joining you hehehe. The Hinman documents will be unsealed and revealed on June 13 as requested by the lawyers of Ripple. The documents have records of a speech made by Bill Hinman where he said that Bitcoin and Ethereum are not securities. Ripple's lawyers argues that they can use Hinman's speech to open a case that XRP is also not a security. This is bullish for the much of the cryptospace because it might set a precedent for many projects to also open their own cases that their tokens are not securities hehehe. Also, XRP might pump if Ripple's lawyers get a good outcome hehehehe. |

Hi bbc.reporter, Thank you for the suggestion, we are planning Mainnet activities. We will update you here. Best regards. @ozone_chain. It might be a nice addition for the project to have a gamified testnet to explore the project through tasks where the users can mint an NFT after completion of each task hehe. NFT holders can also be given an opportunity for future airdrops if the team decides to have one.
In any case, there are already other protocols and projects that do this to promote their work. It can help create interest for the project and help assemble an early group of loyal supporters.
Mainnet for gamified tasks and actvities would be better! Have you seen what the project Paulygon is doing? This can be something that might be very useful for new platforms that want to build a community of loyal users. https://paulygon.io/I have always argued that NFTs could develop cultural value for the community that holds it and as the community grows, the demand for the collection grows and this might develop into financial value. |

Does this answer during an interview imply that Amanda Nunes might retire after this fight? Does it also imply that she does not care if she loses her championship if the opponent is not Julianna Peña? This type of mental attitude from a champion is not good. Aldana might also be underestimated for this fight very much similar to how sexy kitty Alexa Grasso was underestimated vs. Valentina. My prediction, we will witness another Mexican lady become a UFC champion. Aldana will win with a knockout on round 3 hehehe.  Her 12-fight, six-year unbeaten streak had been broken, and there was certainly nothing left for her to prove after she had reigned as a simultaneous two-division UFC champion. In fact, Nunes had beaten every single woman who’d ever held UFC gold at either bantamweight or featherweight.
Then a harsh realization washed over Nunes like a cold bucket of water, and she immediately changed her mind.
"I decided to not retire, because if I retire, I leave my belt with Julianna,” Nunes said during UFC 289 media day. “No way. No way. It can be with somebody else, but with Julianna, no."Source https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/6/7/23753218/amanda-nunes-considered-retirement-but-couldnt-stomach-leaving-with-julianna-pena-as-champ |
