In less than two years, Fred Wilson will have a greater fortune than Warren Buffett. He was from the beginning one of the biggest promoters of ETH. He is a seed investor for Coinbase, Twitter, Duolingo, DUckDuckGo. Projects that only tend to become global giants. And he is always looking for the next revolutionary project.

I find it amazing how he starts the article talking about cryptocurrency being decentralized by design.
But most of the projects that exist today are extremely centralized. Just get the top 200 by marketingcap, how many are, in fact, decentralized? We need to demand that everyone has at least a concrete plan to become projects whose control by a small group of people is impossible.

It might also be that he worked outside his home, so he would not go to the forum because he was not on a secure enough computer, and it might look like he was sleeping.
Do weekend patterns indicate the same pattern during the week? He also sent thousands of emails to mailing lists. Did that pattern repeat in them?

Galera, não é assinatura. Se a postagem for ruim pro tópico eu removo. Mas tem um cara que aparentemente está doando umas opendimes. Eu sempre quis ter uma e sempre estou adiando. A despesa ficaria pelo custo da postagem. É bastante arriscado e você teria que enviar seu endereço para um desconhecido, mas ele é legendary e tem um trust bastante positivo. O link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3444625.msg37619078#msg37619078

This is great. Didn't see this before. I had an opendime and I ended up selling. It definitely demonstrated that it was a very interesting technology since I just needed to deliver it to someone else and receive the money. Since I was a long time hoping to buy one, it would be awsome to receive for free.

....what is the point of this exercise? I believe we should be disproving that we have Bitcoins than prove that we do. It's impossible to "disprove that you have Bitcoin." That's an irrefutable hypothesis. Like...."Disprove that guy walking down the street has a bar of gold." Cannot be done. Carrying this a step further, hypothetically, say in a divorce case where it was alleged by one party that the other had one bitcoin. Wife: He's got two bitcoins! I should get one! Husband: I have bitcoins? Can you prove that? The court should do the same procedure it does with the thousands of offshore firms that some people use to hide the money. Demonstrate the path they have taken. At some point, fiat was transferred to an account that in exchange received BTC. This negotiation would need to be demonstrated. Unless he has memorized the seed entirely in his head, with a search warrant and seizure, after proving the path that the negotiation made, it is quite possible that justice would have access to this portfolio containing the Bitcoins. Of course, there are still thousands of ways to hinder access to this seed. But a normal person would hardly take such precautions. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/03/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-panama-papersThe hidden owners Where does the money flowing offshore come from? The information is hard to discover because real owners usually hide behind nominees, people with no real control and no assets in the company who simply lend their signature.

I believe the price should be motivated by something that happens in the event. Some great insight, something revolutionary or innovative. But so far they are talking the same as it could have been said last year. Nothing extraordinary about LN, or any new protocol that can solve a problem that exists in a short period of time. Neither a major dispute nor heated debate took place. BCash against Bitcoin ETH against the other plataforms (ADA, NEO, NEM) nothing. When things are warm, it's time to start getting worried.

I find it funny that most people have a perspective on the future of the economy based only on stable economies. And for that reason, they are scared of those who are betting high on cryptocurrencies like this family.
Imagine a family that sold everything and put their assets in a Venezuelan bank 2 years ago. They are desperate today.
As uncontrollable as Bitcoin seems to be, because it is a global asset, the chance of finding long-term stability is far greater than betting on fiat currencies of unstable countries. Or even company stocks.
And Bitcoin is already an asset with a liquidity possibility well above 99% of other currencies. Imagine that you are in some Caribbean country, and only have Philippine peso in your bank account and a wallet with Bitcoins on your cell phone. Which of the two will you be able to convert to the local currency faster? I believe it would be Bitcoins.
Bitcoin has already changed the world, without the world noticing.

Boa noite estão sim,
esse fds fiz um cadastro no site deles, e ja mandaram um e-mail com o whats de um dos consultores de lá, e com a agenda dele pra marcar pessoalmente e etcs,
São bem prestativos e insistentes em conhecer a pessoa pessoalmente, ou então conversar por skype, e etcs
Esse desespero com as pessoas que só fizeram cadastro no site, me assusta...
Desculpa, mas você só pode estar de sacanagem. 100% das piramides Brasileiras são focadas no relacionamento presencial. Essa é a formula mágica do Marketing Multinivel. Ter um grupo de pessoas focadas, que saibam vender muito bem e dispostas a trabalhar muito. Aquele estilo que está sempre falando no celular com 500 clientes ao mesmo tempo. Respondem a todos sobre tudo. São simpaticos, bem arrumados e sempre falam olho no olho. Não tem como ficar com uma impressão ruim dessas pessoas. Afinal, estão vendendo um produto simples que irá render muito bem. Mas a questão é essa, eles não vendem um produto. Eles vendem uma relação de confiança. "Confia em mim, que você vai ficar rico. Assim como eu". Por que raios esse site teria consultores? Você não precisa fazer absolutamente nada. Não é você o responsável pela arbitragem, pela venda, pelas escolhas. Agora, quantos programadores reconhecidos eles possuem? Até para manter todos os sites seguindo uma mesma lógica de endereço eles possuem dificuldades. Precisar de um contato pessoal numa economia que tem por meta ser um trustless system descentralizado é o fim. Na melhor das hipóteses eles trabalham extremamente alavancados. E não apenas nas operações, pois o tanto que gastam com marketing, atendimento, consultores o custo de aquisição de um cliente deve ser um dos maiores do mundo dentre as empresas de Bitcoins.

I believe the police had strong indications about the possibility of some crime and probably know that this group is part of some larger theft planning. Arresting the group, it is likely that quickly some of them decide to start talking. By involving narcotics, and for everything that has happened since the end of Dreads, I imagine it has something to do with Deep Web market.

All search engines and social networks seem to plan to ban the cryptocurrency ad. If something happens, some new alternatives to promote services related to this market should arise. It is important to note that this ban should be motivated by the immense amount of shitcoin and existing scam projects. But what will be more affecting is Bitcoin.

In addition to that, there are several major advantages of PoS over PoW. The most important in our opinion is that it's not damaging the environment as much as the PoW, as the whole "mining" process involves the usaging a lot of electricity. There was a research which pointed out that the mining worldwide uses as much electricity as a small country (Moldova, to be precise) and those costs and effects will only go up. On the contrary, PoS doesn't use nearly as much electricity. The other advantage is that for PoS you need to own and "lock" the currency, which means you need to buy it in first place and that points out that you actually believe in the project, as for the PoW you only need a mining hardware and nothing more. You can "mine" a cryptocurrency and sell it right after that, which is just the opposite of the original idea of cryptocurrencies.
Bro, not all energy sources can damage the environment. A large scale miner could solely depend on hydro, solar and other clean energy sources without harming the environment. I just think the anti PoW people have problems with something else not really the energy aspect Hydropower also has a major impact on the environment: - Blocks fish migrations
- Transform a free-flowing river ecosystem to an artificial slack-water reservoir habitat.
- Holds back sediments that would naturally replenish downstream ecosystems.
- Large dams have led to the extinction of many fish and other aquatic species, the disappearance of birds in floodplains, huge losses of forest, wetland and farmland, erosion of coastal deltas, and many other unmitigable impacts.
- Most reservoirs are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (a recent study pegged global greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs on par with that of the aviation industry, about 4% of human-caused GHG emissions).
Hydropower can be considered a green solution when compared to coal utilization. But if we could avoid it, it would be better. But still, PoW is today the only proven attack-safe system in a fully decentralized environment. This is the main discussion. There is no safe, decentralized PoS system yet. What exists are centralized systems that at some point want to create a decentralized autonomous governance authority. All decentralized currencies today use PoW. All the others are still centralized projects with a large budget for the organization itself to maintain and spend on marketing. source: IR

Stephen CurryCryptoKitties took off with its cute blockchain-based collectible kittens last fall. Now, it is bringing sports celebrities into mix, starting with collectibles from Golden State Warriors’ star basketball player Stephen Curry. The first-ever celebrity-branded CryptoKitty will go up for auction today. CryptoKitties became a sensation after it debuted in November as a collectible game built on top of a blockchain and the Ethereum cryptocurrency. In March, the CryptoKitties maker, Axiom Zen game studio, spun out as a separate company and raised $12 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures. The Curry kitties will probably draw a lot of attention. As of March, CryptoKitties had gained more than 1.5 million users who had conducted more than $40 million in transactions. Some of the game’s most popular cats have sold for the equivalent of more than $200,000. VentureBeat

John Nouri makes a living renting out exotic cars for weddings, birthdays, bachelorette parties, and now … Bitcoin conferences? Today he stood outside the Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan, guarding three Lamborghinis -- bright orange, navy blue and black -- that Broadway SuperCars had rented to BitMex for the day. Nouri declined to disclose how much the crypto exchange had paid, but said a rental like that typically goes for around $1,000. The flashy cars that symbolize conspicuous consumption among Bitcoin true-believers had caused a stir earlier as they roared through the streets near the hotel. Another stunt came from an upstart mining company called Genesis Mining. The firm hired actors to portray aggrieved bankers who will lose their financial services jobs when blockchain takes over the industry. The gimmicks show that the hype that surrounded Bitcoin as it burst on the mainstream last year remains alive and well even after the biggest digital coin fell more than 50 percent from its December peak of almost $20,000. Genesis said the protest was a “fun way” to show how crypto can upend banking “if they fail to adapt to the new world we live in,” according to a blog post on its website. A hundred feet away, MK Li stood in front of the revolving hotel doors with a sign that read “Help a fellow VC to pay for this expensive conference!” Sporting a pink button-down shirt with a purple bowtie, the conference goer was accepting donations in digital tokens -- a way to protest the hefty price he’d paid for a conference about a technology that was meant to eliminate the need for expensive middlemen. Ticket prices ranged from from $1,499 to $2,999, suggesting that organizer CoinDesk Inc. raked in at least $12.8 million in revenue from admissions alone. There are also more than 100 sponsors such as IBM, SAP and Microsoft Corp. Lamborghini parked in midtown Manhattan.Photographer: Lily Katz/Bloomberg Inside the hotel, several floors up, one peeved attendee said to another, “How is this not a fire-code violation?’’ The two stood in the doorway of a packed ballroom, straining their necks to get a glimpse of a presentation about Cryptogaphic Innovations. The hype is real at Consensus, the biggest of about two dozen events that make up “Blockchain Week.’’ So far, the conference — which is expected to bring in more than 8,000 people this year — has featured flannels, business suits, cowboy hats and dreadlocks amid a standing-room only sea of crypto and blockchain enthusiasts. Sima Baktas, who works for a blockchain startup in Istanbul, sported a T-shirt that said “Satoshi is Female,’’ -- a reference to the mysterious and still-unknown author of the original Bitcoin whitepaper. Nearby, a man wore a red sweater covered in pictures of dollar bills. bloomberg

We do not need banks in this new economy. A new type of decentralized organization will emerge to help with credits and loans. But banks, as they exist now, will no longer be a utility.

Bitcoin focuses on tracking ownership of the currency. Ethereum focus on running the programming code or network and tracking smart contract. What is important to always say is that Bitcoin does not exist. What exists is a blockchain where people can create keys to interact with it. So the similarity of ETH and BTC lies in that and ends there.

Some people are boycotting. So I'm going to bet exactly on these projects that are boycotting.
OmiseGo - It is boycotting because Coindesk has issued a false link that has caused the loss of funds of thousands of people. Vitalik ETH- Because of this OMG mess and "Their coverage of EIP 999 was terrible" Charles Hoskinson - Because coindesk always forgets to show Cardano ADA. DO not make any article or show their prices
