1341  Bitcoin / Legal / Accelerated U.S. Bitcoin ETF Adoption on: August 24, 2023, 02:25:14 PM
Interesting topic:
Grayscale has filed with the SEC to convert GBTC into a spot bitcoin ETF. The SEC refused.
The main reason for the SEC refusal is high risks.
Everyone has an interesting question: Why is a futures ETF that is more risky allowed, but a spot ETF with less risk is not allowed? 🤡
Grayscale accuses the SEC of discrimination, and now the SEC will be required by court order to explain its decision
___
No final decision yet in Grayscale ETF lawsuit with the SEC

1342  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This Altcoin Faces Further Declines In the Near Future on: August 24, 2023, 02:07:35 PM
As it is recently, altcoins' selloffs were largely driven by Bitcoin, and there is contradictory news about the dump of the coin that triggered the selloff across the crypto board.

Now, by various personal analyses, I believe altcoins would not sell pretty much further, and the reason is simply that it would be difficult for Bitcoin to breach below $24,700-$25,000. And since Bitcoin was the cause of the recent fall and has also bottomed around the quoted levels with a sign of a bullish return. This highly suggests that altcoins have bottomed already and the correlation could cause them to reverse higher in response.


The price of bitcoin will easily fall to the desired level if it is profitable for manipulators to take money from long traders with leverage.
Bitcoin ETFs work in Europe and Canada, they should also appear in the US in 2024. This news is already in the price of bitcoin.
Therefore, we may still see a price below $24,000, but there may not be much liquidity there.
1343  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / 3 fundamental indicators for altcoin on: August 24, 2023, 01:59:00 PM
Here, beginners often ask for opinions about different coins. Everyone wants to get rich quick but most often they lose their investments.

If you do not want to lose your investment, I will give you 3 important criteria for evaluating altcoins.

1. This is the number of full time developers in crypto projects
If solana is a scam, then what are so many developers doing in this project?
https://solana.com/news/measuring-developer-and-user-activity-on-solana-december-2022

2. Total Value Locked(TVL). This is a very important parameter and cannot be faked.

3. Number of famous people on twitter who follow the project.
I think that these people will not follow the scam.


_______
The number of users, the number of transactions, the number of tweets and other useless statistics are not for smart investors.
Of course, there may be high-risk assets in the portfolio, but if there are more than 10% of them, then this is degen trading.
_______
I hope these 3 parameters will save you from financial losses
1344  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: P2P Scams : Where does the government stand on: August 24, 2023, 01:32:09 PM
I've used Binance P2P service before and I have not had such experience and neither have I heard that someone was scammed before. If an issue ever arises there's a dispute center you can always table your complaint to. Binance have access to the chat history, they can see the address, track the transaction on the blockchain and can also request for bank statement if necessary. After reviewing these information I believe they will take the necessary steps to punish the faulted party and see that you get back your funds. If this doesn't happen and a situation where cryptocurrency is not legalized in your country, going to the authorities will only make this worse.
If you pay attention to the Binance platform, in the p2p section, there is always a warning aboit fraud and not releasing your coins until you confirm your fiat payment. And again, if you check the adverts section of the Binance platform, you will understand that there suspended or restricted accounts which I assume are accounts that violated binance terms or accounts that involved in scams.
So, it means that there are different kinds of scams. As long as the cryptocurrency industry is concerned, there must exist scam, that is the reason everyone is supposed to be careful.
Risk number 1 is P2P exchange, risk number 2 is to hold money on a centralized exchange, risk number 3 is the use of bank cards for exchange.
With such risks, the probability of getting problems is very high and you need to distance yourself from these risks as much as possible.
1345  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC signals appeal to XRP ruling on: August 24, 2023, 01:26:20 PM
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.”


Source https://coinedition.com/us-sec-officially-acknowledges-xrp-is-non-security-in-new-court-filing/
This case has already become a precedent and the courts are already referring to it. The likelihood of this decision being reviewed is very low, and appeals on nuances can still drag on for several years until either the law appears or the precedent becomes a law. In the meantime, you can stuff XRP coins in the cheeks of new hamsters Smiley
1346  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: P2P Scams : Where does the government stand on: August 23, 2023, 01:14:57 PM
There are few countries that still maintained the ban on cryptocurrency and just imagine someone that is trading cryptocurrency whether through P2P or other means and got scammed, do you think that he will be ready to report the case to the police? This won't happen because he knows that he might even get arrested for breaking the law of his nation. If you trade Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in a country that had out a ban on it, it won't have the gods to report the case because you might even be punished for that. If crypto is legal the a case can be filed.
If a cryptocurrency is prohibited in a country, this does not mean that citizens of this country cannot use cryptocurrencies in other countries. If this citizen is deceived by a fraudster, then it makes no sense for him to seek help from the police of his country. And it also makes no sense to contact the police of a foreign country if he does not comply with all the laws of another country.

Above all that is being discussed here regarding how a P2P trader whose country didn't legalize bitcoin can seek redress if he was scammed, well IMO I think the whole of the bunk of retrieving the coin should be on the exchange that guaranteed the transaction as escrow. That should be the right position if the party scammed have done all necessary registrations and verified. If the transaction is in binance then they should ensure to retrieve the coin . This is like other off line P2P services, the escrow does the best effort for the transaction to be successful and in a case where it doesn't then the escrow or guarantor is held liable.

However, in the case of P2P in exchanges, I could suggest a deposit fund or reserve by each trader (based on their level of amount) where an exchange could dip in to repay a defaulting party and with that, the scam issues will have a natural death .
I don't think you understand how the scam works. A P2P exchange can only block cryptocurrencies, but it has nothing to do with fiat transactions.

Example. The scammer registers on the exchange using someone else's documents and makes several honest P2P exchanges.
Then he is looking for a client to buy bitcoin for 1000 dollars in telegrams.
When the client is found, the scammer makes the same request on the exchange and gives the victim the details for transferring a verified trader. The victim transfers money, the fraudster on the exchange receives bitcoins and quickly withdraws them from the exchange.
Then the victim and the trusted trader sort things out in the police or in court.
1347  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Prosecution to use Caroline Ellison notes as evidence against SBF on: August 23, 2023, 12:58:35 PM
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?


In Russian criminal practice, whoever begins to hand over accomplices first is the witness, and the rest are the accused. It's the same here. If the investigators wanted to solve a major crime, they would arrest everyone and collect evidence, which is very much. And since this case has political overtones, we will see many more interesting twists and turns.
1348  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: More Regulation Incoming! on: August 23, 2023, 12:51:06 PM
Warren Buffett manages a lot of money, so he knows what he's doing. Other funds are also diversifying their risks, and companies that issue stablecoins that are pegged to the US dollar have come to believe in the safety of US Treasury bonds. hehe. These companies have no real capital.
Warren Buffett is still a Bitcoin sadist till today and he doesn't believe that Bitcoin have any monetary value at all but that one is left to him. There are many people that had been asking for the regulation of Bitcoin by the government because of so many big scams that had happened before now. If Bitcoin ever get regulated, it are not going to be the same again like we used to enjoy it. Bad projects and exchanges that had crashed is making the government have a rethink about the fear of there citizens getting scammed by fake projects.
There is a big difference between saying "Bitcoin is a scam" or "Bitcoin will cost $0".
Warren Buffett has seen a lot of bubbles in the market and he is right about the risks of Bitcoin. As soon as the manipulators play enough with this asset, they can reset it or come up with other problems.

If CSW cannot prove in court their rights to the authorship of bitcoin, then on Twitter it is possible. Although he should indicate the authorship of which bitcoin he claims.
But perhaps Twitter will force him to change this entry.
On CSW Twitter title, I know too well that if this gets to the attention of Elon Musk, he will quickly rip off that title from him. No matter how manipulative Elon has been to the cryptocurrency industry, I trust him to know the truth about the CSW claim. It is evidently obvious that CWS is not Satoshi and cannot own the bitcoin copyright but what marvels me is the level and stage he has attained without being halted indefinitely.
Now I don't think it will happen. A clown is supposed to make people laugh, and CSW is the author of BSV.
There are people in the USA who identify themselves as cats, and CSW identify themselves as the "Bitcoin Creator".

All the money that was recoverd from scammers should have been returned to the right owners especially the exchanges where the loses happened. What I know is that all those Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that was autioned were sold to those around the government bodies because they are more cheaper than the actual price. There should be a policy to return lost properties and funds that was taken from scammers or fraudsters to the rightful owners rather than the government holding them and later auctioning them.
I don't think you understand how this system works. It is very difficult to return stolen cryptocurrencies that have been transferred many times.

"FBI Says North Korean Hackers May Try to Sell $40M of Bitcoin
The FBI released six wallets linked to North Korean hackers Lazarus Group and APT38.
The North Korea-based Lazarus Group and APT38 were reportedly behind a series of cryptocurrency hacks earlier this year, including the $60 million theft from payment processor Alphapo and the $100 million exploit of Atomic Wallet, the FBI said."

If these coins are confiscated, they will belong to the US government.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/argentina-milei-vows-pay-country-184053945.html?
"Argentina’s leading presidential candidate Javier Milei pledged to close the nation’s central bank while saying he would make every effort to avoid a default on the country’s sovereign debt if he wins the October vote.

More drastically, he also plans to shutter the central bank — which he said has “no reason to exist” — and dollarize the $640 billion economy.

“Central banks are divided in four categories: the bad ones, like the Federal Reserve; the very bad ones, like the ones in Latin America; the horribly bad ones; and the Central Bank of Argentina,” he said.""

And what's the problem? Are some countries willing to lose their financial independence and use someone else's currency?
Of course, all central banks follow the recommendations of the IMF and BIS, but this is a very radical idea.

         Я уже тут, в этом форуме, (гуглите) многократно писал, что есть у меня друг, который должен мне дофига денег. Миллионы рублей.  И прикол в том, что он может, реально,  хоть прям за неделю, все эти деньги мне вернуть. Просто продав свои активы. Все возможности для этого у него есть. Но он НЕ ХОЧЕТ этого делать. Противный. Хотя у меня есть все РАСПИСКИ И на эту тему тоже. Где он обещает вернуть все деньги в течении 2х недель с момента запроса этих самых денег. Согласно всем документам. Есть еще куча свидетелей, которые подписались над данными бумагами.

       И вот что я тут подумал... что готов ПРОСТИТЬ ему все деньги. Весь остаток долга. Несколько миллионов рублей (если что). Только при условии, если он, этот мой «друг» переведет их в фонд помощи пострадавшим от СВО в Украине.  Только так, и никак иначе. Либо он погашает  мне свой долг срочно и немедленно! (а все необходимое для этого у него, то есть, активы, есть!), либо пусть платит медленно но верно, в счет помощи украинцам. Как вам такое? Юристы в форуме есть? Как бы этот момент бы оформить юридически. Слабо?

Может кто-то сможет посодействовать в теме?

"хочешь потерять друга - дай ему в долг"(С)
В россии похожие платежи в иностранные фонды могут тянуть на очень большой срок. Друзъям принито отдавать долги. Если ваш "друг" не собирается этого делать, то пробейте его активы и просуживайте долг.
Вы потеряйте до 20% за быстрый возврат юристам и приставам, но деньги вы получите, если есть что взыскивать.

Пока что из похожего на революционные изменения вижу в том что PayPal свой стейбл на блокчейне эфира выпустил. Это действительно может стать эффективным мостом между криптой и фиатом, но к заслугам Эфира это все-таки не относится.
Почитай про EIP-4844 и обновление Cancun в 4 кв 2023 года.
Эфириум и так неплохо маштабируется из за сетей Л2. EIP-4844 уменьшит комисии в Л2, а до полного шардинга 2 года как минимум.

Think about if one of your friend that has hatred to you wrote about a crime that he did then involved you while you really doesn't have any involvement.
This is called slander. When the testimony of two participants in the case is opposite, they are not taken into account if there are no other evidence.
1360  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: P2P Scams : Where does the government stand on: August 20, 2023, 11:09:28 AM

I think that is a double-edged sword depending on the person they run into.

The difficult thing with cryptocurrencies is knowing which area has jurisdiction over the case in the event of a scam. If you deal with someone via p2p and they have scammed you, depending on where you are staying, then such is enforceable against them. In contrast, if they have dealt with someone who prohibits the utilization of cryptocurrencies, then they cannot enforce such action against them.
Small amounts appear in p2p exchanges, I think that even in Europe it is no more than 10,000 dollars for a bank payment, but most likely these are small amounts of 200-2000 dollars. Unfortunately, due to such damage, it makes no sense to contact the police. I perceive such losses as payment for the lesson.

Yeah, even here, it's just a small amount that even if you report it, might not be worth to look at by the police and the authorities, hence it's going to be difficult for the victims to recover what they have lost during the scams. Again, I myself have been attempted multiply times by scammers in the P2P in Binance and Bybit, but my experience tells me not to send the funds to them and then we try to go to arbitration with the exchanges and they found out that this are indeed scammers and so they block or ban those account. But for those who are inexperience in this field, they might easily fall for it especially when this scammers are the way dictating you what to do and pressuring you to released the crypto right away.
I don't think the main problem here is fraud. If you study well the experience of other users and read their recommendations, you can protect yourself from fraud. The weakest link in this scheme is the banks that will block the trader's account if he often makes p2p exchanges. And banks in all countries work the same way, and then it is very difficult to unblock your account.
