The market issue, of course, started with the Bitcoin issue. If they are able to control the Bitcoin issue, then they can easily control the crypto market.
The dump price changes are always based on the issue of someone who will sell Bitcoin in large quantities.
If Barry Sibert wanted to make a profit, of course he would not pass on the information that he would be selling most of Bitcoin to the public.
That means, there is something else behind what he said. Maybe we don't know the next stage yet.
He in the past was very active on Twitter and he gave financial advice about what coin they are buying. One coin that comes to mind is ZEC. No idea if they were already in position but ZEC had a huge rally after his tweet. Then there was when they announced they were shorting Doge after Or during the SNL skit. They didn’t short it directly but bought those 3x Doge short leverage contracts on FTX. And again if you followed this trade you would of also pretty much never been underwater and was very profitable. Barry would certainly be in position already. Are you implying that he is something similar to a shill like John McAfee? Zcash is part of Barry Silbert's list of investments in Grayscale. In any case, it appears there was bigger dump than market average of different coins that are connected to Barry Silbert's Digital Currency Group. Nothing is confirmed if DCG is dumping, however.  Over the weekend, we saw a huge sell off from the crypto markets, in particular, DCG's portfolio of coins saw a huge decline compared to others.Source https://insights.santiment.net/read/dcg-a-sell-off-7141 |

My vote from this list are for Binance and Kraken. I do not trust all of the news articles and the negative propaganda being written about Binance. CZ has been bailing out platforms in the cryptospace that are at risk of bankruptcy or those that have been bankrupted already. Is this the activity of company that is at risk to be bankrupt? Head scratching if you say yes.
On Kraken, it has been online for a very long time without problems, without big scandals and I reckon it certainly will continue to exist without problems and without scandals.

I know that CZ is investing in ventures and it keeps on going but what he's trying to prove? I doubt it that he just want to save the company and the people who has still some pending money there. Maybe he sees something that we can't see?
But we're all sure that we see the same thing that Voyager is already on the grave and it will barely stand up and even with his help, he's just throwing money there and good for the people if they'll still take their money out after the acquisition.
CZ is not trying to prove anything, I reckon. This is a business decision and his team might have made an assessment that there is value in absorbing Voyager clients and bring them to their own platform, binance.us. There might also be other things that might give Binance an advantage like old licenses that can be renewed, skilled employees necessary for Binance's expansion or some cryptocoin assets still being held by the company. |

This is a bait and switch. They claim to want to regulate crypto to protect people, but they really want to regulate crypto to protect themselves and their power over people's money and consequently their lives. They like being able to tax the people of the world 5-10% every year via inflation. With around $460 trillion in global wealth, that is a TON of money they'd lose out on stealing from people with the "little guy" being hit the most with high inflation.
Agreed, the government has never wanted to protect the people. 99% of the politicians who run the government only want to act on their self interests and the personal agendas of their backers. The cryptospace is a threat to the banking system because it will break their monopoly on the creation of money, moving money, laundering of money and many other things about money. It will also break the monopoly on the government's definition of money. If anyone has noticed, much of the people in the community has considered bitcoin to be a more authentic form of money than fiat. Your conspiracy BS doesn't make sense at all. No need to wear a tinfoil hat when we can apply easy common sense: "Government" isn't as simple as you are trying to suggest to us. It's different from country to country, some politicians are indeed corrupt, some want more power and some are just clueless but quite a large number of politicians are honest people. Even Bukele wants more power because he's trying to run for a second term. Is it good? - No! But are his intentions malicious? I don't believe it. Quite a large number of politicians want to protect people and bring prosperity. In my opinion, Bukele wants to protect people and bring prosperity, too. But it's very difficult to be succesfull. For Bukele, he bought Bitcoin when it was very pricey. Now, it has lost tons of value. Would you say he has a personal agenda, backed by criminal El Salvador networks or similar conspiracy bullshit? I would not. He's just trying to improve his country and many politicians are trying to improve her country as well. Yes, it's different in dictatorships, like Kim Yong Un, China, Putin's Russia or Erdogan's Turkey, where officials don't need to be elected and can't be removed. Or take Iran, where so many people protested for more human rights. I would not generalize it too much. Scammers and hackers need to be caught and regulation is necessary. Crypto is full of scam maybe even more like we have scam, money laundering and corruption in traditional markets. Just take Ripple, Ripple should be taken out by Gary Gensler! I hope it will happen soon! Crypto is a heaven for money laundering enabled by mixers like WasabiWallet, ChipMixer or Sindbad.io. Even if a group like "war of rugs" is prepared better to fight against rug pulls or shady Darknet operators get arrested is already a good sign. It is not easy but after time, crypto will get rid of scams, fraud, hackers, unbacked stablecoins and similar abuse. Are you implying that the people behind the government are never corrupt and have never lied to their people to move forward with their self interests and their agendas? Never? It is head shaking that you gave Bukele as an example and made the argument that because he made an incorrect investment decision, you use this as proof that he is 100% not corrupt and that he is a 100% honest politician hehe. I would admit that some countries have better governance than others, however, you should live in reality. |

It appears the playoff for our league will be on week 16. I thought week 16 will be a bye week and we resume on week 17 and have our champion on week 18. I will need Lamar Jackson to win against Hueristic but it does not look good for him and his knee, and this is clearly not very good for me and my team hehe.
According to some news articles, Lamar has a PCL knee strain. Grade 1 PCL will need up to 2 weeks to heal, grade 2 will need up to 4 weeks. However, it was never mentioned if Lamar has grade 1 or grade 2 and it has only been on the 3rd week. I am afraid that he might not come back until the post season.

Unfortunately, for Dana White; Paddy doesn't have the same sort of persona or skill set as Conor. Conor was so popular because of his loud mouth, but also he backed it up. He usually put people to sleep in the first or second round. If you can last longer than that with Conor you'll probably beat him.
Paddy is a little less eccentric, and doesn't have the same explosiveness in the octagon. He'll still be a star, I'm sure. However, Conor level? Probably not, and that's okay. People like Conor are rare, they're the perfect combination for the fans, and the money counters in the UFC.
He's like a diet version right now. The paddy hype train will derail very quickly if he starts losing and even more so if he keeps acting like a cunt. I like Paddy the baddy because he is an annoyance to everyone hehe. However, I very much agree with your assessment and if we force ourselves to see the reality after the fight versus Jared Gordon, the hypetrain is already beginning to derail. What can Dana presently do for him? His skills are not enough to enter top 10 in his weight division, he has no discipline with his body and he now cannot speak against hand sanitizer boy because no one would believe him. Hand sanitizer boy would kill him within 5 minutes hehehe. |

Binance reserves is okay, according to this. Two charts based on the same facts, but presenting one without the other can skew perceptions.
Binance BTC balance basically flat at 400k BTC since since mid 2021.Source https://twitter.com/ergobtc/status/1604289386442788864It has be very obvious that there are groups of people in the cryptospace that are creating a coordinated attack and negative propaganda against Binance. I am not defending Binance and my speculation on Binance as being used in a global moneylaundering ring does not change. However, we should also see reality. |

Recently, the SBF is said to have agreed to accept extradition to the US after many refusals by the Bahamas government.
well it was give up the extradition fight. or stay in bahama jail till february to then get the chance to fight it. which could be a 4 year court case, just on extradition battle.. so i think he's preferring a US jail and just get it over with.. maybe the US jail has vegan options Hehe yes. Also, being in a very warm climate, the high humidity and a jail cell full of Bahamians sweating beside him while he sleeps will certainly not be very comfortable. In any case, this might also be part of their plan. Sam has hired one of the best lawyers to represent him, Mark Cohen. He prosecuted El Chapo and presently also the lawyer of Ghislaine Maxwell, the partner of Jeffrey Epstein in his sex trafficking business. |

It looks like Butler doesn't want to be left behind, after the beatings he received from Inoue, it looks like Butler is asking for more. I watched some clips on youtube[1] and it stated Butler planned to leave his weight division and possibly will go up in weight division. So Butler planned to mix it up again against Inoue, and Casimero if ever he goes up in weight division.
While Casimero after his fight against Akaho is now ranked 3rd by boxingrec.com. So it is possible to have a title fight for Casimero soon.
Very difficult in the case of Butler and any fighter at 118-122 lbs. At 118 lbs, there could still be Donaire and other Filipinos too in contention for a world belt. But if he chooses to go up, then his old nemesis in Casimero and Inoue is waiting as well. So he is in on man's land, but I guess if his body can't make the 118 lbs like Inoue, he has no option but to move up, fight contenders and see if he will have a chance to fight for a world title belt again. My prediction for Inoue for the year 2023. He will wait for Stephen Fulton to unite all of the championships in super bantamweight before Inoue will challenge Fulton, however, if he does not do this, Inoue will do it for him hehehe. Inoue will challenge Akhmadaliev first and win the IBF and WBA championships then challenge Stephen Fulton for the WBC and WBO champioships. He will leave bantamweight because there is nothing more to prove and there is nothing more to earn. Bigger challenge and bigger money is on Inoue vs. Fulton. Are you ready boxing fans? |

so I believe he should be well nominated and who knows, maybe even take the statuette in 2023, we'll see! I'm also betting big on Colin Farrell's feature film, he received the longest applause of the event so far: there were 13 uninterrupted minutes of applause, if I were there my hands would be red  Changing gender a bit, I also believe that Cate Blanchett is the main bet for the 2023 Oscar. Fraser is popular man of the moment, just a nomination would be a big come back from the abyss and a nomination is a kind of win; they advertise nominations during film promotions so its a win for both company and actor really. However I dont actually believe he will win, I remain unconvinced so far but we got time to decide yet. Of the three I'd expect Cate Blanchett is with the best chance I've been a fan for 25 years or so shes done the legwork for sure & I need to watch Farrell's film. Brendan Fraser might presently be the most popular choice for best actor, however, after the Golden Globe awards and Screen Actors Guild awards this might change. This is where you should be fast on moving before the odds have changed hehe. According to this news, Everything, Everywhere All at Once has dethroned the Fablemans as favorite for the best movie. But did sportsbooks change their odds quickly? You will find 4.20 if you know were to go hehehehhe. This is one universe “Everything Everywhere All at Once” definitely wants to stay in. The genre-bending dramedy has dethroned “The Fabelmans” to take over the top spot in the Best Picture Oscar odds.Source https://www.goldderby.com/article/2022/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-oscar-predictions-best-picture/ |

If he dumped bitcoin, we can buy it on cheaper price.
If he doesn't dump bitcoin, we just need to wait and see.
Whats the problem on here?
Just to create FUD and Panic, we can always buy Bitcoin and yes this is the good opportunity to accumulate. Dumping their Bitcoin doesn’t mean Bitcoin is not good anymore, its just the current trend and I’m pretty sure they will but back once we hit the bottom, its more on a price manipulation for me. Maybe it is because it is said that there are no legit sources that tells he really did it and I don't think the goal of the op here is to spread this FUD as well, but he was only curious and wants a helping hand to confirm things out. This is informative for those who are not updated on the crypto happenings. I mean this can be their guide to know the truth and won't be mislead by the FUD's happening outside. In case this, was true then there is nothing wrong with it. Each of us invests on BTC for the reason that we need a profit and they sell because they in need of cash right now. This shouldn't give us a negative thought thinking BTC is turning bad, now that BTC pioneers are selling it. Much of the people in the community would call speculations or news a type of fud if it is bad news and call the bringer of the news as an antagonizer. They will choose to put their heads under the sand and refuse to accept reality. I will tell you what is not fud. It has been 1 month already since Gemini earn has stopped withdrawals and Gemini's lending partner Genesis Global, owned by Barry Silbert, owes users more than $500 million. In any case, instead of accusing anyone of spreading fud, read and share some news. |

Similar to what I have been saying for a few months, I speculate that as more and more regulations come to control Defi and the cryptospace industry, the next unregulated part of this will be the NFTspace.
No one is going to regulate DEFI. At least in comming 5-10 years. So far they are trying to regulate centralized exchange which seams no to work good (FTX scam). So in next few years they will close some fiat/crypto getaways, they will regulate the rest of them. Made in/out of crypto 100% KYC. After its done they can try to regulate DEFI but how? The only way to regulate defi on ETH is to buy 51% of tokens or convince hodlers of 51% of tokens to do something. And thats only ETH defi. BNB,TRX,AVX,DOT, MATIC defi is intact. So no one will migrate to NFT. Big money will not move to buy pictures for millions. Big money will buy BTC and ETH as the most liquid and safe assets. Regulations will help that. Big money don't buy illiquid assets. NFT is super illiquid. I disagree. I reckon the next set of regulations will concentrate more on stopping moneylaundering in the cryptospace, on controlling liquidity that enters and exits stablecoins and a stricter stance given on Defi tokens as securitized assets. Similar to what I have been saying for a few months, I speculate that as more and more regulations come to control Defi and the cryptospace industry, the next unregulated part of this will be the NFTspace. And naturally, this is where all liquidity will enter next and this is also where the lowest hanging fruits will be for profits.
However, the problem is which NFT projects should we speculate on to make us some profit hehe. Share your favorite NFTs, both speculated to pump and what you hold.
Also for fairness and to make this thread neutral, I will not share my favorite NFTs in this first post. I will share them after you have shared yours. Thank you.
I think it's going to be the next one to be regulated? I read news before that NFT are the new honeypot for criminals to launder their money by buying those expensive art? It might be and I have created threads having this argument in the forum, with many arguments accusing me of being always the antagonizer again hehehe. However, my argument against NFTs as the next to be strictly regulated is the government will concentrate on Defi first and this will not be an overnight development. It will be a process that might take more than 3 years, I reckon. In any case, only one of you replied with a suggestion and this suggestion is a Trump NFT hehe. It is too early to speculate on Trump NFTs but start observing them near the Republican primaries on 2024. Trump will certainly declare his intention to run as president and it appears that he has strong support. My suggestion would be DR/VRS NFT. https://weownthenight.io/homeI like the artwork, their roadmap and their team appears to be good on paper. They are also cheap and the price is going lower. This might be a good longterm investment. |

FUDsters on social media are out in strong force again, trying to suggest that Binance would be about to collapse any day now.  Agreed! I do not want to bring race and ethnicity into this similar to what Kanye has done when he talked about who controls hollywood or much of the medical industry , however, there appears to be something similar to what is happening in the cryptospace. Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinsky created ponzi schemes, but cryptonews media is not really exposing the truth of what they did. Barry Silbert is another one. There is something happening with those cryptocoin projects connected with his companies after a coordinated dump, however, cryptonews media is quiet on this. Changpeng Zhao, a china man with no proven record that he created a ponzi scheme, however it appears that there is a negative propaganda against him.  Promoted tweet |

Hehehe Sam kills himself in prison? It would certainly be similar to how Jeffrey Epstein also killed himself in prison. I am sure this would open up new storylines and conspiracy theories on what Sam's connection really is with the Democratic party and how FTX and Alameda Research came to be one of the top exchanges and top market makers in a very short amount of time.
I will say it first be before it happens. Sam did not kill himself.
Sam is not like Epstein and does not have a wealthy network of friends to protect or sympathize with him. We cannot be quite certain of this anymore because it appears that Sam's mother is very much connected to the politicians and the financers of the Democratic party. There are speculations that FTX and Alameda were created to be a moneylaundering operation for a certain group of people. There was also a theory that implied that the aid the American government sent to Ukraine were laundered through FTX and sent to the Democratic party to use for the midterm election. This was denied by the government and the Democratic party, however, I would not be shocked if there was some truth in this. We might know more when the trial begins or we might not. There are also speculations that Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison has began talking to the feds. Following the arrest of the former FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), spectators continue to wonder where ex-Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is, and whether or not she turned on SBF. A few reports suggest Ellison is “likely working with feds” and it’s possibly the reason why Ellison was reportedly spotted at the Ground Support cafe in Soho.Source https://news.bitcoin.com/reports-suggest-caroline-ellison-is-working-with-feds-and-snitching-on-ftx-co-founder-bankman-fried/ |

I'm a genius, decided to listen to the pundits instead of myself and last second pulled Zay Jones for Higgins and Monty for Bam Knight.
Looks like you still might win your match, albeit with a less crushing score than it could have been. And whats up with this, make up your mind LOL  Hehehe this is very much a similar behavior to NFT trading or they call this flipping. In any case, week 16 will be a bye week for all of the participants. This will be very useful for me to check on the health and performance of Lamar Jackson and my favorite trade of the season Dallas Goedert hehe. They are speculated to be taken out from the injured list and play on christmas eve! I'm a genius, decided to listen to the pundits instead of myself and last second pulled Zay Jones for Higgins and Monty for Bam Knight.
Looks like you still might win your match, albeit with a less crushing score than it could have been. And whats up with this, make up your mind LOL HAHAHa stupid Damian Harris!  Hehe what is bad for Harris is good for Stevenson and Stevenson was on questionable for the whole week, I thought I was dead and would have to depend on the tie breaker. In any case, Did anyone watch Patriots vs. Raiders? Heheheheheheeeee. |

Your casino is kind of good but I think you need to look into your faucet. It is a bit too dull and tiring. The graphics too is not that attractive to entice people to participating and if I may ask what is it with the black animated design you put there fore the faucet it does not make any sense to start with. The whole process involves loading and loading each to spin before you get a reward sometimes no rewards after scaling through the tiresome process very very irritating.
The bet too is another there is never a time one wins in your casino all bet gine lose on your casino. It is not good to go that way. I wonder how it was done so. Do you plan or intend for participants to keep loosing their funds on your platform?
For the spin and faucet I think you should put them all in a particular page by the side next should be a spin botton to click right on the same page which Wii spin there and live to give you your results.
Them lastly change the dark graphics you used for the last spin. Just my humble opinion.
Your opinion is certainly respected, but I am afraid that I have to disagree. Neodice is a very beautiful site that brings its players in a relaxing mood. The music, the sound effects, the graphics and the theme are perfect. It is a dice site created not only to make profit quickly for the owners, it was also created to offer its players a different experience. The gamefied faucets are also something new and they should continue this. However, I agree that they might be dull, only because there is no sound and music if you play them. |

What specifically was the lie?
I guess it wasn't strictly a testimony. Kevin didn't give a single fact. Well, he admitted it himself. It was an opinion. He could have immediately been cut off right after his admission that what he had was "an opinion. I don't have the records." I don't even understand why this man is invited. What does he know really? What relevant knowledge or information could he contribute to the hearing?
Anyway, my opinion is that CZ opened the Pandora's box. It was full of shit, of course. FTX might fall at a certain point, but it was CZ who pushed it. And down it fell.
Agreed. There was a story about CZ and Sam. It was said that they met in a conference and CZ asked Sam to stop the market manipulation and the liquidation on their own institutional customers like 3 Arrows Capital. The side story is it was rumored that Alameda Research liquidated 3 Arrows and also Alameda triggered the fud that caused a run on Anchor protocol where billions of Luna UST were stored for yields. In any case, when Sam appeared not to listen to CZ, it was said that CZ made the decision to liquidate the remaining FTT they were holding and caused a cascade of dumping within FTX which killed the exchange. What presently might be happening his Sam's backers and his connections in politics might be making their own response by starting their own attack against CZ and Binance. According to crypto analytics portal Delphi Digital, more than $5 billion were withdrawn from major cryptocurrency exchange Binance in a two-day period between Dec. 13 and 14. The outflow was triggered by rumors that U.S. prosecutors were considering charging Binance and executives with money laundering and sanctions violations.Source https://u.today/5-billion-withdrawn-from-binance-bnb-following-recent-turmoil |

I think that without strict regulation, we cannot expect that anything will change in the sense that no new Bankman or Kwon will appear. At the same time, I think that strict regulation should go in the direction of much more difficult opening of centralized CEX and strict supervision of their operations. Some may consider it a threat to Bitcoin, but I don't think that would be the case, because Bitcoin is just a collateral victim in all of this.
A money factory that has its base in thousands of cryptocurrencies is nothing but one big fraud, no matter what name it hid behind - ICO, IOU, DeFi, stablecoins, or NTF. We can lie as much as we want, but the amount of money that disappeared through everything I mentioned is measured in hundreds of billions of $, and all because current laws allow it.
I am therefore in favor of draining that swamp, no matter how much some are against it. Of course, the price has to be paid, and it certainly won't be small - the average person still believes that Bitcoin should be blamed for everything, no matter how pointless it is.
I can agree in some of your argument that some regulation is good, however, what much of it will do is stop smaller, less advanced scammers. I am quite certain it will not stop the Bernie Maddofs, Elizabeth Holmes and the Sams in the world, who will have the proper connections to develop their scams and steal billions more in total compared to the small ICO, IOU, Defi and NFT scams of the world. Also, ICO, IOU, Defi and NFT are not scams but only mediums that can be used for scams. This is very much similar to bitcoin where it can be used as a medium for scams but bitcoin itself is never the scam. I hope everyone will distinguish and accept the difference in this. |

This is unconfirmed.
According to some accounts in social media, Barry Sibert has begun dumping some bitcoin. There is nothing yet in cryptonews media and mainstream news media, however, I have deployed my computing cluster of 1000 gameboys to collect, process, and filter all the news for everything Barry Silbert has done for the week hehehe.
Updates coming in this thread.
In any case, if anyone finds an update on Barry, please share them.
