So the justification for the drop in the last few minutes are just old news? I do not think that's enough. Moreover, they only pose as if the whole market were irrational. The truth is we need good news, very good news. And many people wait for some kind of security. The siege of the money launderer is closing, it is no longer as simple as it once was. Governments are investigating and creating laws. Mostly bad laws.

But these sudden drops in a matter of minutes are always related to some specific news. That most of people only come to know a few hours later. And often, they are stupid things that do not justify the fall and soon the price rises.

Bitcoin is never the project that loses more value in these falls. Even when the problem is related to Bitcoin more them others coins. The point is that if Bitcoin fails, everything will fall apart. Bitcoin is the leader, the others are followers. The pairs in the major exchanges are based on it. You need to buy Bitcoin when you want to go to fiat.

It's the simplest, quickest and cheapest way anyone can start understanding the crypto revolution.

Some other projects that have a high market cap have large whales, are traded in a few exchanges and have really bad Wallet ( cof, cof IOTA). By the way, when the panic arrives people just want to get rid of the tokens that are already in the exchanges as fast as possible.

Little volume means big jumps in price.

Bitcoin and mises regression theorem

There is a large misconception among Austrian school advocates that Bitcoin somehow contradicts a supposed theorem by Mises nicknamed Mises Regression Theorem. Let’s not delve on the point that nowhere in Mises’ The Theory of money and credit can you even find the word regression. What the supporters of this argument say is the following:

Mises claims that a commodity can’t start as a medium of exchange. In order to establish itself as a medium of exchange, there first needs to be an exchange of this commodity. Thus, to be valuable, bitcoin needs to have some value outside of it being a medium of exchange. Gold has such value — it can serve as Jewellery and in different industries. Bitcoin doesn’t, so it has no value.

To say this has nothing with what Mises actually wrote is an understatement.

The argument Mises suggested does indeed say that to become a medium of exchange, a commodity must at some point in time have an exchange-value, based on which people will trade on it in the future until it becomes money. First, let’s agree Bitcoin is a commodity -

“We may give the name of commodity money to that sort of money that is at the same time a commercial commodity; and that of fiat money to money that comprises things with a special legal qualification. A third category may be called credit money, this being that sort of money which constitutes a claim against any physical or legal person”

Surely Bitcoin is not fiat money — it’s not a legal tender of any state or government. It’s not credit money — it doesn’t constitute a claim against any physical or legal person. We thus arrive to the understanding that it’s a commodity — but does it have any value ?

“Before an economic good begins to function as money it must already possess exchange-value based on some other cause than its monetary function. But money that already functions as such may remain valuable even when the original source of its exchange-value has ceased to exist. Its value then is based entirely on its function as common medium of exchange”

It’s a famous anecdote that the first bitcoin exchange-value was 10000 bitcoins for two Papa Joe’s pizzas. Once this exchange-value was established, Mises says clearly nothing matters anymore. The Subjective value of 10000 bitcoin to the guy owning two pizzas was greater than the two pizzas, and so he established an exchange-value. From this point onwards, all that matters for the valuation of bitcoin is the series of exchange-values. That’s it. That’s why the Austrians believe in subjective value — it doesn’t matter if the first transaction made sense. Was the guy exchanging 2 pizzas for 10000 bitcoin gullible ? Maybe, but the fact was that in his subjective valuation the deal was worth it is enough to establish an exchange-value, which is all Mises “Regression theorem” requires.

But what about Gold ? Isn’t Gold better than bitcoin because it has real commodity use, and can serve as Jewellery and in the chip industry ?

I would say that:

Serving as Jewellry is not commodity use — It stems from the same source as being a widely accepted medium of exchange. If at some point people wouldn’t want it as a medium of exchange, they wouldn’t want it as Jewellery just as well. Quoting Szabo on this one, “‘Jewelry is money’ is how Sebag summarizes his observations of the modern Asian jewelry market.”. And Mises: “One and the same piece of metal can even fulfil both purposes simultaneously, as will be seen if we think of ornaments that are used as money or of a coin that is worn by its owner as jewellery until he parts with it again”.

You can combine multiple addresses into one single wallet easily and use that wallet. But what you want is to transfer funds from different addresses into one address.
I do not think you can use transaction batching in this operation, you could use it if you wanted the opposite.

in Electrum you need to do that: 'Tools' >> 'Pay to many' and you'll have to option to add multiple addresses or load them from a CSV file.

The way I know that you could easily combinate the funds

Select "Addresses" from the "Settings" section of your wallet. To the right of "Imported Addresses" you will see a blue button that says "Transfer All." Press this and you will be brought to a transaction screen. From here you'll be able to select which part of your wallet you'd like to move your funds to. The default is the main account. Please note that the higher the number of imported addresses you are sending from, and the more inputs contained at each address, the higher the fee will be.

If you compare "buy bitcoin" with "buy gold" the only country where they seek more for gold would be to Australia.

Gold is still used for various searches like researching a gold ring, or a cell phone in gold color. But Bitcoin is specific. People who research on the term of Bitcoin want to buy so I believe that although the interest has somewhat diminished. We are moving so that Bitcoin is the main "reserve of value "of ordinary people.

One of the beauties of decentralization is precise to prevent decisions like the ones you want, cannot be taken quickly, or by a decision of a small group. That is why so many people criticize projects that emerge and are extremely centralized. With an organization or a small group of people being able to decide how the whole project should behave.

The Mt Gox Trust could have made the decision to convert their currencies into fiat using instruments such as OTC. That do not influence the market price so much. This suggestion was even offered by the CEO of Kraken.

But they chose to dump in the retail. And get the best price possible at that time. It was a stupid decision, but not illegal.

Both justice and those who believe in the true spirit of cryptographic accept the freedom to do whatever they want with the wallets they own the private key.

The Dumpening
 by jespow = Kraken CEO

For the record, Kraken was asked many months ago for advice on how to sell a large block of coins. Our answer was:

don't sell coins
If you have to, do it with an auction, which Kraken can facilitate
If you want to do it more privately, let Kraken's OTC desk broker it for you
We were explicit about not dumping a large amount of coins on the market. Unfortunately, it looks like the trustee made their own decision or was taking advice from elsewhere -- maybe whatever exchange they dumped those coins on. We had zero knowledge of these sales happening until it was announced at the recent creditors' meeting. Unfortunately, we have no visibility in to where, how or why the trustee sold those coins, nor whether any precautions were taken to prevent front running or self-dealing. Hopefully, the trustee will make it clear what their process was and put the questions to rest.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s financial regulator will slap administrative punishment notices on several cryptocurrency exchanges this week and plans to force some to suspend their business, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.

The Financial Services Agency may also order Coincheck Inc - the exchange targeted by hackers in a $530 million theft of digital money - to raise its standards, the sources said.

The move would be the second such order given by regulators to Coincheck since the hack in late January, which was one of the largest thefts of digital money ever.

The FSA will mete out the punishments after uncovering flaws in customer protection and anti-money laundering measures during on-site checks at the exchanges. It was unclear exactly which exchanges would be targeted, or what form the punishments would take.

The FSA was not available for comment outside business hours. Coincheck did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The Coincheck heist underscored the risks of trading an asset with which policymakers across the globe are grappling, and drew attention to Japan’s system of regulating the exchanges.

Last year, Japan became the world’s first country to regulate cryptocurrency exchanges at the national level. So far 16 exchanges are registered with the authorities, while a further 16 - including Coincheck - were allowed to continue operating while regulators assessed their applications.

After the Coincheck heist, the FSA said it would investigate all cryptocurrency exchanges for security gaps, and ordered them to file reports on system risk management and cryptocurrency storage.

As a result of those checks the FSA will order some of the unregistered exchanges to halt their operations, the sources said.

The FSA told Coincheck after the cyber heist to bolster its security systems. The second improvement order will focus on customer protection, the sources said, with the FSA monitoring progress of compensating investors affected by the hack.

The exchange has promised to repay about 46.3 billion yen ($425 million) of the cryptocurrency it lost in the theft. Last month it said it has sufficient funds to make the repayments, but declined to specify when it would repay investors affected.

The regulator may also order two of the government-registered exchanges, Tokyo-based GMO Coin and Zaif, run by Osaka-based Tech Bureau Corp, to improve their business, the sources said.

Representatives of the exchanges could not be reached for comment late on Wednesday.

Zaif said last month that a system glitch had let seven customers buy bitcoins for free. Though none was able to profit from the mistake, the blunder drew further attention to security and systems at Japanese cryptocurrency exchanges.

Eu fiz um tópico lá no meta. Também achei que tivesse ocorrido algo com o @adriano e estava sem moderador. Mas além de excluir, espero que a conta do tonho da lua possa ser banida.

E não tinha um terceiro moderador? Um que morava em algum pais da Asia?

 Please, could an adm take a look in the Portuguese section and ban this user? He is just using Google Translate to make a lot of posts on the wrong section, using the wrong format. Nobody wants to read his posts, is just spam.

We have already sent many of reports and nothing was done.

To be honest, if something like that happens I hope the thief has the ability to understand that I do not have the password in my head. And that to recover it I need physical access to 5 sheets of paper that are in different places.

https://www.ccn.com/alibaba-subsidiary-reports-successful-use-blockchain-technology-logistics-data/


Lynx International, a subsidiary of the Chinese e-commerce monolith Alibaba, recently announced that it has successfully integrated blockchain technology into the company’s cross-border logistics business. According to the company, its blockchain-based system keeps track of all relevant information regarding an imported shipment, including details about production, transport method, customs, inspection and third party verification.

The technical leader of the company, Tang Ren, told a Chinese news outlet,

“Although the concept of blockchain has only recently started to emerge, it has a very wide range of applications. We firmly believe that this is an Internet-based technology, not a tool for speculating on currencies.”

As is typical for any blockchain-based system, once the data is recorded, it can be retrieved and scrutinized, but not modified under any circumstance. Blockchain’s immutability is one of the primary reasons it has seen overwhelming use in cryptocurrencies. Thus, by extension, any system employing the technology can enjoy the security benefits and trustless nature.

Alibaba’s foray into blockchain technology does not necessarily indicate that the company has any soft spot for cryptocurrencies though. Not too long ago, in December 2017, the company’s founder, Jack Ma, said that while he had no personal or business interest in the asset class at the time, his company was making significant headways in blockchain technology. Lynx’s announcement is likely one of the few early results of Alibaba’s foray into the field.

Given that Alibaba owns Taobao and AliExpress, two huge online shopping websites catering to China and the rest of the world respectively, it makes sense that the parent company is attempting to streamline its logistics process. Alongside the import business, Alibaba has also launched blockchain-based programs for the healthcare and food quality control industries.

Some media reports indicate that Taobao’s mobile app has been updated with links to “View product logistics traceability information” at the bottom of some items. When clicked, any information available for the product will be displayed, presumably allowing the user to ensure that the object in question has been imported from a legitimate source.

So far, it is estimated that over 30,000 imported goods from ports in Shangai, Shenzhen, Guangzhuo, Hangzhuo and Tianjin among others have had their details logged on the company’s blockchain system. Tang also confirmed that the information tracking process begins before the products even reach the country. He stated,

“When these goods are shipped from overseas to China, the logistics data have already begun to go on the blockchain.”

Two Bullish Signs For Bitcoin

After a prolonged correction, Bitcoin is back big time. The “people’s currency” gained close to 7% this week, stabilizing around the $11,000 mark.

Is this comeback for real?

Hard to say, as there are hardly any “fundamentals” to judge whether Bitcoin is undervalued or overvalued at these levels. Still, there are a couple of bullish signs for the digital currency worth noticing.

One of them is that Bitcoin is beginning to behave like the ‘new gold,’ shining in times of extreme uncertainty that take over Wall Street.

There was a time when gold would shine as Wall Street faltered. That was long time ago, when it was the hedge against uncertainty. It was the asset where investors could park their cash in times of political and economic turmoil.


Now Bitcoin is taking its place, as evidenced by the performance of the two assets overtime.

Bitcoin, for instance, rallied last week, as conventional gold and stocks faltered, due to anxiety over the direction of interest rates and world trade. The “people’s currency” gained 13.95% in early in the week and 22.81% in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, the SPDR Gold Trust lost 2.31% and 2.51% over the same period, and the S&P500 lost 3.53% and 4.93%.

Investment   5d   30d
Bitcoin   +13.95*   22.81
SPDR Gold Trust   -2.31   -2.51
SPDR S&P 500   -3.53   -4.93

Bitcoin displayed a similar pattern last year. It rallied as North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was launching missiles over Japan, and as China was trying to write its own navigation rules in South China Sea.

 Is it possible to sign a message using a SegWit address now that the core has updated to 0.16.0? Last time I researched, in January, I had not found a conclusive answer. What is the best way to prove ownership of an address?

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued dozens of subpoenas and information requests to technology companies and advisers involved in the red-hot market for cryptocurrencies, according to people familiar with the matter.

The sweeping probe significantly ratchets up the regulatory pressure on the multibillion-dollar U.S. market for raising funds in cryptocurrencies. It follows a series of warning shots from the top U.S. securities regulator suggesting that many token sales, or initial coin offerings, may be violating securities laws.


A spokesman for the SEC declined to comment.

U.S. regulators have repeatedly put cryptocurrency companies and their advisers on notice in recent months about what officials say are widespread violations of securities rules designed to protect investors.

“Many promoters of ICOs and cryptocurrencies are not complying with our securities laws,” SEC chairman Jay Clayton said earlier this year. In another speech he said he has instructed his staff to be “on high alert for approaches to ICOs that may be contrary to the spirit” of those laws.

I think he should write a text about. He just answers what people are asking and as the answer is small, it looks like is different. But he, as a tech guy, should be excited about the technology. But as someone that has some concerns about the world and drugs, could want that government has more control over cryptocurrency.
