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. |

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
2. No off-topic posts.
3. No trolling.
Clearly worthless, off-topic and trolling posts are forbidden in the forum rules. However in some situation, messages such as +1 or -1 may be meaningful, but in this message clearly they aren't. +1 or -1, where no additional insight is added is never useful, same like "Buy, buy, buy, it's good coin!", "congrats for winning, bro" or "very nice project, SIR" it's outright shitpost and should be deleted ASAP + if it's done again from same member in a new post, newly written after a previous post was already deleted = 7 day ban if account is wearing a paid signature. If in question, paid signature spam should be deleted. |

I don't even like Ripple but can you define how it's a scam. Just because something fails in the markets doesn't make it a scam. What are the fundamental reasons for it being a scam. Being centralized is not a "scam" it's just being centralized. Being a scam needs a proof. How were you betrayed? Did someone promise you money or did someone steal your money? Maybe start by what do you mean by fraud bot marketing.
Scam = lies, deceivement and fraudulent marketing. Did you read my post? No you did not obviously. In addition, I recommend wwzsocki post regarding how Ripple is a scam. It's very good article. Right now you sound like someone who was heavily invested to Ripple for a long time and got angry because that rocket never took off.
LOL No you are wrong. I reject Ripple for a very long time, check my post history! I have been calling out Ripple shitcoin again and again. Even against Ripple shill veterans like Branko (who's a Putin ass licker as well) and MemberBerries, a Ripple shill. See my post history. I have never bought Ripple because I'm doing research before buying a coin. And when we do a good research, we can spot very quickly, how Ripple is a SCAM! |

And all hacker funds are laundered in mixers, it's a shame.
I hope, all hackers will be caught, funds seized and hackers put into prison!
"There were a total of 12,320 requests during the reporting period, a ~66% increase over last year’s report. It's a long way to stop scammers. Like Brad Garlingcrook, he's still praising his shitcoin. |

But it's ideal for scammers, criminals, terrorists and enables narcotraffic!
Maybe we'll realize very soon: mixers are very damaging for Bitcoin because scams and crime is enabled on a large scale.
Nothing new. Indeed! Criminals will always take advantages. But we should not enable it too much! Even Bitcointalk is giving scammers a hard time from DT. The first half of your post reads to me like you're saying: "Oh, so you're okay with facilitating criminal activity!?"
The second half of your post reads to me like you're saying: "Oh, so it's just like with a shady signature campaign then, you're happy to turn a blind eye, if it serves you!?"
It's somehow all of it. You and I know mixers are loved by criminals and you are NOT a criminal by using it. But it's providing criminals liquidity and personally I would appreciate it to keep me an option how to reject such tainted coins. Analogy (Sockpuppet Accounts)
Imagine the problem you're trying to solve is secret alt accounts on Bitcointalk. How would you do it? One way would be to enforce a KYC procedure on the forum (both retroactively and moving forward). To prevent people from selling pre-KYCed accounts, the procedure would have to be periodic, so every few weeks/months you'd have to go through it again, with a fresh photograph of you holding a written-out security phrase, or maybe a (recorded) video chat with a staffer. It might also involve the sharing of other personal information and a few documents, for good measure. Bitcointalk would offer to keep all of this data completely safe on a "best effort" basis.
Here's my position: I'm against sockpuppet accounts and would like to find ways to reduce/eliminate them, but I'm even more against adding KYC to Bitcointalk; the cure is worse than the disease.
If such accounts don't scam, where's any issue? As long as an account does not scam or abuse Bounty, it doesn't do any damage. If it does damage = sent out red paint. Account will be useless. Easy, like taint coins. Analogy (The Old West)
Imagine the problem you're trying to solve is bank robberies and cash-carrying train heists. How would you do it? One way would be to pass a law that from now on every cash-accepting establishment (the saloon, the general store, etc.) needs to have a government-appointed security clerk standing next to the cashier. Whenever a customer hands over a banknote, the security clerk looks up its serial number in his little black book and sees if there are corresponding instructions (e.g. "confiscate", "detain for questioning", "accept, but ask for identification", etc.)
Usually, banks are protected by security. Criminals are caught and arrested. Bukele did some raids against criminals recently. Money transport are usually heavily weaponized and armored. Good luck trying to rob a cash transporter today.  Or Fort Knocks is also protected. It's not like wild, wild west like saloon, where a sheriff is overworked and understaffed, where houses shortly build after moving west made out of weak wood have lousy locked door security or where a Dallas Cowboy is hunting down a Denver Bronco (joke). We are modern socienty right now. Modern problems require modern solution, SIR! |

Wow, what a long list!
DeFi is known to be coded badly but I wouldn't expect such a long list...
Devs really need to set up a better code, review it better and do more education on how to code properly.
We can't afford much more DeFi hacks, DeFi is already known to be famous for hacks.
And all hacker funds are laundered in mixers, it's a shame.
I hope, all hackers will be caught, funds seized and hackers put into prison!

Chainlink has a big advantage: it's needed no matter if it's a bear market or a bull market. Because a you might know, it's always essential to link chains and so many new chains are active, so Chainlink will have plenty of requests. Future is looking very good for Chainlink.  Price prediction is impossible how much it will be but very likely, it will perform well. |

Elon Musk is a dipshit and got exposed, similar like Ripple was exposed.
Musk is still in denial but when his failed projects will pile up, he need to face reality. Maybe he'll finish Twitter, it's 100% garbage.

As predicted earlier already, Ripple will inevitably fail. I'm surprised how bad Ripple has performed and even my bearish prediction from 2 years ago was too bullish: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.msg55906628#msg55906628Even my MORE bearish prediction from 1 years ago was too bullish: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.msg57953990#msg57953990So let's make a recap. Once again, I want to apology and make my next prediction even more bearish because right now it is very clear: Ripple has lost! When Ripple challenged Ethereum some years ago for second place and succeded for a short time, Ripple fanboys were very bullish but as I warned, it was only for a short time. Quickly, Ripple lost its position against Ethereum again and some time later it lost against Binance Coin and USDT. It also lost a position against USDC but won a position against Cardano, which is no surprise because Cardano development is very slow and Cardano a very outdated coin. But even winning a position against weak Cardano resulted in NO GAIN for Ripple because Ripple is a shitcoin. Ripple is simply a centralized SCAM. RIPPLE XRP is SCREWED! Whye Ethereum is reprimanded by SEC it will come much worse for XRP: Ripple will be forgotten and replaced by new coins! Ripple had always a huge exposure because it was highly ranked at Coinmarketcap and people bought it directly after BTC and ETH. Ripple fraud marketing by bot advertising to deceive people worked very well until it was EXPOSED. But now it is inevitable for Ripple to lose more importance every day! New, decentralized and fast coins are rising and Ripple will be losing positions over time. It will be embarassing to watch for alle Rippletards, so better get out ASAP!  For everyone still holding XRP: Better get out ASAP. XRP is a scam coin and will go down like a sinking ship! Maybe con man Garlingcrook will get arrested and his money will be spent for human rights or to help Ukraine. It would be nice. |

The most important thing about the fundaments of XRP is that it is a centralized currency, so it is only up to the will of its creators how and when these numbers will change.
I fixed it for you. XRP is a centralized Shitcoin led by a bunch of criminal grifters. It's not innovative tech, it's fraudulent and bagholders are used as useful idiots. Unfortunately, nobody will hold Garlingcrook accountable. Sorry, your stupid post only incited me to buy more Sorry, your stupid post incited me to call you out for your support of RIPPLE'S FRAUD and your support of PUTIN'S WAR. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382794.msg60209344#msg60209344Why always supporting criminals?  my side is against fiat currency, Putin is promoting gold backing. Why you support side that favors fiat criminals? Wow, long time no see, fellow XRP SCAMcoiner and Putin lover! How is it going, denying russian war crimes? Do you get at least some reward for your bullshit war crimes denial? Putin is promoting gold backing.
Putin is promoting lies and war crimes! Why you support side that favors fiat criminals?
Can you call Putin a fiat criminal, when he's just printing rubles to send it as "excuse" to family members of killed russian mobiks? Seems likely: Putin is a fiat criminal. Get some help, Rippleshit and Putler are a disease! |

Either you let criminals get away with stolen funds (which I agree is not ideal)
It is not ideal, indeed! But it's ideal for scammers, criminals, terrorists and enables narcotraffic! Maybe we'll realize very soon: mixers are very damaging for Bitcoin because scams and crime is enabled on a large scale. Should scammers be left alone on Bitcointalk, too? Is negative trust also bad if it's affecting Bitcointalk account fungibility for scammer accounts negatively? LOL Yes, let all scammers get away and don't paint scammer accounts red, don't call scammer coins tainted. Maybe an approach similar to DT as WasabiWallet is figuring out can help but it's ChipMixer paying tons of money every week here.  Wasn't using centralized services discouraged? But "mUh fuNgiBiliTy". I would not mix my coins in a mixer known for facilitating coins used in crimes. Still, everyone is free to do it. But don't complain if nobody wants to receive your tainted coins. Stop enabling scammers, criminals, terrorists and narcotraffic! We get it, ChipMixer, probably a honeypot, is paying handsomely and most members here don't care. ChipMixer is enabling all kind of shady behaviour, nobody cares as well, so consequences (like getting tainted coins) are on you if you are using it. Yeah, I've got some (long-term) plans to develop a few bitcoin-accepting services, and I can promise you that I won't be participating in any "mandated" checking/flagging of deposits. I'm a fungibility nut, so I simply don't care [1] where funds originate from, I'll accept them without bias and likely mix them on withdrawal, too. Your approach is similar to lazy campaign managers letting red-painted accounts into singature campaigns. 1xbet and friends. Not beneficial at all. 1xbet and friends are also Bitcointalk account fungibility nuts. What an idiocy. Looks like OgNasty is right once again! |

Meanwhile in the real world: A veteran Russian diplomat to the United Nations office in Geneva has handed in his resignation and sent a statement to foreign colleagues criticising the “aggressive war unleashed” by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
Boris Bondarev, who worked as a counsellor at Russia’s permanent mission to the UN in Geneva, told the Reuters news agency: “I went to the mission like any other Monday morning and I forwarded my resignation letter and I walked out.”
[...]
“For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year,” Bondarev said in the statement first published by UN Watch, an advocacy group.
Brave man, to stand up against Putin. He's right to be ashamed, what crimes Putin is doing.
Thanks to Patrick Lancaster
Always impressed with your standards when it comes to media sources. NY Times - ❌ BBC - ❌ RT - ✅ Putin - ✅ Youtube conspiracy blogger - ✅ I'm getting my news from RT, Putin and Youtube conspiracy blogger as well. But only to find out about all latest lies directly published by Putin and his cronies himself. Easy to detect: What Putin and his regime says is always a lie.

I'm not saying he has scammed someones money.
Yes, he has supported Ripple, who are scamming people's money.
This doesn't have anything to do with the topic of this thread, stop spamming. It has, it's about people supporting Putin's war crimes. |

Today, we will expose war crimes supporter
BRANKO
for his repeated support of Putin's war crimes!!!
BRANKO has caught our attention when he shilled FRAUD and SHITCOINS. Branko supported Ripple's XRP, a known fraud from Brad Garlingcrook. Ripple was exposed multiple times and Branko was exposed for supporting it:
Wrong thread. Open a scam accusation if he's a scammer. Plenty of scammers support the West, and plenty of scammers have been brain washed by Putin. I'm not saying he has scammed someones money. Yes, he has supported Ripple, who are scamming people's money. But BRANKO is not a scammer directly, so I can't say he's scammer. I can only say here in Russian Invasion of Ukraine what BRANKO has been doing repeatedly: supporting criminals |

After their case with SEC it little bit risky to put money into XRP because if they can't win against SEC then it will be the worst day for all of investor who believe on this coin.
You are right! Ripple is screwed and Ripple bagholders won't admit it. People will buy more innovative coins now. Ripple has no future in a decentralized coin market. |

Yo everyone! Yes, I'm back! I'm surprised how bad Ripple has performed and even my bearish prediction from last year was too bullish: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1381669.msg55906628#msg55906628I want to apology and make my next prediction much more bearish because right now it is very clear: Ripple has lost!

Quickly, Ripple lost its position against Ethereum again and some time later it lost against Binance Coin, USDT and even Cardano. It is remarkable for XRP to lose against Cardano because Cardano has a very slow development. Ripple was hit hard by Gary Gensler (SEC), because Ripple is a centralized SCAM. And Gary Gensler has announced about fighting all centralized Shitcoins. RIPPLE XRP is SCREWED! It will get very big problems from SEC and much worse for XRP: it will be forgotten and replaced by new coins! Ripple had always a huge exposure because it was highly ranked at Coinmarketcap and people bought it directly after BTC and ETH.
