This is a head shaking comment from some of the holders of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Do they not know that there are not many people who could afford to buy NFTs that are more than 1 ETH? Bored Apes were worth 60 ETH per NFT before the dump and it is still very expensive at 30 ETH. However, it is easier to blame someone or something else than making an unbiased assessment on what's happening around them. Asset prices cannot pump forever. Bored Ape Yacht Club, the top-traded NFT collection, is trapped in a brutal bear market, and holders are blaming the recently launched Blur NFT marketplace.
The reason? Blur has incentivised NFT trading on its marketplace by promising a lucrative token airdrop for top users — free tokens that can be traded on secondary markets for value.
Now traders are playing hot potato with Bored Apes to pump up their activity on the marketplace.
Still, detractors say Blur is having a negative impact on the value of Bored Apes — that’s because traders don’t mind if they buy a Bored Ape and sell it at a loss.Source https://www.dlnews.com/articles/markets/bored-ape-fans-blame-blur-for-falling-nft-prices/ |

Rumors or not. I guess this is a good indicator of bullish market for bitcoin and crypto market. Also it seems the headline about sec and binance are startee to become blur and it didnt go their ways.
With the upcoming good news, people anf more institutions would not be hesitant now to pour some funds on crypto. Plenty of newd about legality still a better market noise for crypto market it is.
Agreed. 1 spot ETF approval would cause more spot ETF approvals and this will certainly give institutions who control billions in pension funds and retirement funds some exposure to bitcoin. Also, remember the pump that occured on March 12? Much of this was CZ's $1 billion conversion of Binance's BUSD holdings into Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance BNB token. Approve 5 ETFs and I reckon there would be 5 pumps similar to CZ's March 12 pump hehehe. Given the changes in stable coins and banks, #Binance will convert the remaining of the $1 billion Industry Recovery Initiative funds from BUSD to native crypto, including #BTC , #BNB and ETH. Some fund movements will occur on-chain. Transparency.Source https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1635131601884700674 |

News update. It appears Binance needs a new strategy. Separate the European Union customers and let them log in on a .eu domain similar to how they are already doing it with Binance.us. In anycase, what other exchanges like Kucoin and Bybit can learn from Binance's regulatory problems is do not grow too big and be noticed by regulators hehehe. Belgium's top markets regulator is ordering embattled crypto exchange Binance to immediately cease serving local customers, according to a Friday notice.
The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) said Binance is "offering and providing exchange services in Belgium between virtual currencies and legal currencies, as well as custody wallet services, from countries that are not members of the European Economic Area," which the regulator says is in violation of a prohibition.Source https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/06/23/binance-ordered-to-immediately-halt-offering-crypto-services-in-belgium-by-markets-regulator/ |

Featherweight: Josh Emmett vs. Ilia Topuria
Women's Flyweight: Amanda Ribas vs. Maycee Barber
Women's Strawweight: Tabatha Ricci vs. Gillian Robertson
Crazy fights await us, and I am talking about the Ilia Topuria against Josh Emmett fight, for me I am seeing Yair Rodriguez to Ilia Topuria but Topuria is durable and surely has a much power output on his striking, so this is again going to be a hard fight for Emmett once again, sorry for Josh Emmett's fans because I really don't see him winning this fight, for me this main event will truly be a great fight and a lot is surely waiting for it to unfold, and I can not wait to see how Ilia Topuria is doing after his win against Bryce Mitchell, and if he could beat Paddy Pimplett someday, While I see 4 fighting kittens in this event BBC Reporting will surely be delighted with them now feast your eye on these lovely ladies, Amanda Ribas  Maycee Barber Tabatha Ricci Gillian Robertson These fighting kittens if we check their vital statistics to determine the winner, it would be Amanda Ribas' perfect 34-24-36 winning against Maycee Barber's 33-25-37. For the other fight, it will be Gillian Robertson's 34-24-34 winning against Baby Shark's 33-25-24 hehehe. In any case, has everyone seen Overeem's body? He is presently on a diet and he looks much thinner. His biceps are bigger than his legs!  |

Another jurisdiction bites the dust. I reckon once enough exchanges have been expelled from many jurisdictions with traders having nowhere to go, it is possible that much of them will begin trading through DEX and DeFi which will increase the amount of liquidity and volume in these markets.
If DEX and DeFi popularity surpasses centralized exchanges popularity, what also might occur is instead of waiting and speculating for the Binance listing pump, it will be the Uniswap whitelisting pump hehe.

Similar to what someone in the thread would say, it appears @South Park brought us a new victim, I mean, a new participant!

Why are these traditional financial insititutions beginning to enter the cryptospace despite being in the middle of Gensler's crackdown? It is not only BlackRock and Fidelity entering. Citadel Securities and Schwab's EDX cryptocoin exchange has begun their operation. Deutsche Bank has applied for a digital currency license.
It will not be shocking if there was really a consipracy against Binance, Coinbase and the others to have traditional finance do a takeover and rule the cryptospace.
The question for us will be if we would want to use JP Morgan cryptocoin exchange or be forced to hehehe.
You are very fast, I also just saw this question on one of my local forums. It could be said that everything coincided in an unusual and suspicious way. Apparently, everything the SEC does has a bigger purpose behind it, and it's almost clear now. After the crackdown on Binance and Coinbase, the major Wall Street players have officially entered the crypto market. The entry of financial giants into the market is a positive for the market and shows its potential, but your question is also one that deserves attention, and I don't think we'll have a choice. Yes, I hope everyone uses their brains and should speculate that the SEC under uncle Gary is really acting dishonestly. They regulate the cryptospace through enforcement of unclear rules. The exchanges ask what are the rules to clarify, however, the SEC cannot or will not give them an answer. This is a very head shaking situation because the consumer which the SEC was supposed to protect is financially affected everytime they announce something about the crackdown. |

Agreed. However, if Trump wins against the lawsuits made against him, I am quite certain Trump would be ahead of sleepy Joe in the polls. What the Democrats are doing to Trump, they are making him a martyr. This is the effect if they keep on persecuting him politically.
Trump's odds to become the next president are also not that far behind from Biden. I do not know how or when his case ends but if he is proven innocent and if he is allowed to run for president, it might be a landslide victory for the Donald. The Democrats should pray that hopefully he is convicted.
If he is up by 6 points, then we can assume that the public is solidly behind him. Given the complications within the American legal system, I don't think that a verdict will be given out before the 2024 POTUS elections. So in all probability Trump will be fighting the elections under the shadow of conviction. Chances of Trump being proven innocent? That depends upon the interpretation because the Democrats are never going to admit defeat irrespective of whatever happens during the legal process. They believe that it will make him more unpopular. But recent polls suggest otherwise. However, as you have mentioned, the poll was done by a biased source being a right wing group that might be trying to create some hype behind Trump. It would be safer to assume he is closely behind Biden similar to what the betting odds are suggesting. In any case, if Trump is entering the presidential race while his case is also ongoing then the outcome of the election will imply if he is free or not. If he wins then as the president of America, he is legally immune from the civilian court. If he loses, the Democrats continue to persecute him and charge cases against him to make surwe that he goes to prison. |

I think people should be cautiously optimistic as all the past hype we had with ETF filings ended up being a nothing burger. Though on the bright side, we're talking about BlockRock here which is a huge ass company. They most definitely have the resources to hopefully get this approved.
Agreed, however, the decision on the case between Grayscale and the SEC might be coming soon. If Barry Silbert and Grayscale are victorious, the SEC might have no choice but to approve GBTC's conversion to become an ETF. This will certainly be very optimistic for BlackRock's ETF application hehe. The skeptical me thinks that BlackRock knows this and with their connections, they might also help Grayscale win their case? |

@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. |
