2381  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hacker of FTX dumping ETH for BTC on: November 20, 2022, 09:55:38 PM
There are two of them that has FTX's fund, the hacker and the Bahamas government and what OP told is speculated being done by the hacker.

Will the hacker will hold or sold?
As for these hackers, I think that he won't sell as soon as possible. Even if he successfully mixed and laundered the money, he'll wait until the noise isn't too loud anymore. But he can't be sure if the trackers of the stolen funds will ever stop monitoring him. For sure, there have been people working to track that already closely.

What will be the implications for hacker putting all the eyes now on Bitcoin by bringing the dirty money?
I expect that there will be those no coiners telling, "there you go, bitcoin is money from hacked funds and it's from the dark net/market".  Tongue

I didn't know that FTX was a direct port to asian markets. Are those countries using binance now?
Most likely they are and that's why CZ is flying here and there to different countries in Asia for his backing to the market for this particular region. I also don't know that FTX has got a huge market in Asia and I thought that they've got the biggest share on North America but I remember that both FTX and Binance has got their own .us.

So i guess my question is that is FTX.US totally off the hook? How they or their us customers are not affected when 130+ companies are?
It's said that it's got a separated fund from the main FTX but it's still FTX no matter what. I don't think that they ever said that they're not affected, they also are affected since it's also part of FTX -> FTX.US -> Alameda.
2383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a gambling addict? on: November 20, 2022, 07:55:49 PM
fortunately I was cured of my gambling addiction when I was young. remembering the past, before I almost got fired from the school for using school money for gambling and selling my mother's necklace gold for gambling, that was my worst period

Gambling is addictive, so if you feel you have a tendency to become a gambling addict, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist so that it doesn't get worse
Seriously?! You're that young to become addicted in gambling and the school has to kick you out from their institution. Luckily, on my part, I was able to hold still on that younger days of my life.
I'm able to gamble and at the same time it was just maintained. I guess what helped me is that because I was still young, got no money, got no source of money to gamble. That situation I have been in truly helped me at least to naturally control me with my finances and gambling activities, not that addicted but still a gambler.

Google Giannis and you’ll see that after the game against the 76ers (where Joel Embiid flagrant fouled him) he tried to get some extra shots up but there were stadium workers with a ladder in the way. Giannis pushed the ladder aside once and then knocked it over when they didn’t get the hint. Eventually Montrez Harrell took the ball from Giannis and told him to go home.
I just did and saw this artcle from NBA itself: Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo explains ladder incident after loss to 76ers
I've watched a video from ESPN about him pushing the ladder but it's too short and didn't included where the ball was taken from him.

2385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shell, enters Bitcoin mining and sponsors Bitcoin conferences on: November 19, 2022, 10:44:54 AM
-snip-
As of now, they're not yet there but it's very likely that they'll also join the miners and have their own bitcoin mining facilities built. They're already at their advantage for having it built because they'll have no issues with power and it's possible to happen because they have no problem with funding and investments and of course, the power.

What worries me the most is the fact what there seems to be some kind of underground "work" going on to secure the centralized power of the most important cryptocurrencies of the market.
It may sound like a conspiracy-theory and maybe it is, but when I read Shell is planing to get into Bitcoin, the first thing that came to my mind was the apparent flaws of the new POS scheme of the Ethereum network. There are people which points out Ethereum now is a quite centralized network because of the concentration of validation power and staking.

Governments and companies could be planning to do the same to Bitcoin with the help of oil transnationals?
As for this news, I also thought that Shell is directly going to get into bitcoin and mine it but they're not. Or should we say that they're not yet and soon, they'll give some announcement to make and they're going to have their own mining facilities because that's really possible. We don't know if there's a connection from this company and any government that plans to have their big share in mining bitcoin. It's going to require them if not millions to hundreds of millions for that plan to have it played like to be an oligarch in the market.

It is a joy for all Bitcoin lovers to see the oil giant Shell enter the field of mining even if indirectly, of course Shell is one of the world's oldest companies in the field of oil and has a long experience in the energy field, so they surely have a lot of solutions to help both in cooling Or finding alternative solutions for the energy consumed in mining, this news will have a significant positive impact on mining in the long run, and thus on Bitcoin prices.
However, given the recent unfortunate incidents and the very bad situation that the crypto market is going through, it is unlikely that we will see a noticeable impact at the present time, but there will certainly be a good effect in the long run.
Once all of these noises that we're hearing from FTX and other exchanges going bankrupt. We're going to see the attention going with those good news that haven't been noticed during these times. But for us, we know how good to see such news and gives us the happiness that a company like this is starting to give their share.
2386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throwback: Bitcoin was $64k today, a year ago. on: November 19, 2022, 09:13:54 AM
Feels like a very long time ago the price was in the $60,000’s. It’s going to take 2 years or so but we will hit a new ath & go far higher than the current ath.

Only the strongest hands can handle the volatility of bitcoin & the long, bleak bear markets we have to endure.

Stay patient & stack sats.

I really hope so. Bitcoin's been often proclaimed as the new "safe-haven" asset in times of crisis, but what I've seen is all of the contrary. I know BTC is for the long-term, but most people are really looking into short-term results. Something that could protect them at a time when there's global uncertainty just like Gold. The latter hasn't experienced a large decline in price, unlike Bitcoin. I guess people still trust Gold more than they would trust Bitcoin. I don't blame them since Bitcoin is still relatively new to the world. Gold has been around for centuries, while Bitcoin is only 13 years old.
Bitcoin really became a safe haven especially in these times when there were too many uncertainty that comes in the market. Projects collapsing, exchanges filing bankruptcy. While for bitcoin, we'll unlikely going to see it come. So while those investments are into different projects that have been trusted by investors, they don't want to get on bitcoin because of mere reasons that they're justifying as an expensive asset. Well, they don't want it so they experience a more expensive lesson. Those that are in the short term will realize how easy it is to just go long term with bitcoin and be patient because it's all worth of the risk they're taking. And for the gold investors, it's okay, respect to the older ones but they'll soon realize that they have to hold bitcoin too.

I think BTC needs more time to mature for it to become a reliable store of value. Maybe 2024 will take us all by surprise with BTC crossing its latest ATH of over $60k per coin? Just my opinion Smiley
2024 and so on is likely going to come again by storm. And many will be encouraged again and will this market but will dislike it once the bear market occurs again, the typical cycle we get.

Here's a look at the one-year chart. Buying Bitcoin now can the price rise tenfold by this time next year? When the unit of the chart is year, it can indeed be seen simply and clearly that there has been a substantial rise or fall. But the daily changes are small, and we may not be able to make the right choice. So making the right choice at the right time is extremely important.
If we look at the daily changes, they're really unrecognizable because they're small. But you see how far it can go with all of those changes that we see for bitcoin's price. And with a span of a year, too many things can really happen and done.
2387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match on: November 18, 2022, 11:31:25 PM
These are just "some" of the sources and if it's coming from a prominent sports news media, I think that we can have that idea that it actually happened.
But the other side of this is that, it's possible that they can also be paid to tell to deny the allegations as there's no proof. Well, these days, it's hard to get on these medias without valid proof to support on claims and accusations. But I understand that it's being published like this as if they're the first to provide it so they get the visibility and exposure.
2388  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is the only crypto you should BUY on: November 18, 2022, 10:43:55 PM
Because we know that satoshi does not depend on a company to reinforce bitcoin.
This is the common issue today because of FTX and that's true that satoshi made bitcoin to be completely different and independent. As bitcoin isn't depending on any company or exchange for which is most native tokens are made like that. They've became a stock type of distribution to its investors just like the common stock market and shares but bitcoin isn't like that. It's dependency is one its own network - miners, supply and demand.

Come on! Seriously, he's still going to be a speaker on an event like this while he's dealing with his stir from his company? That's odd for me honestly.
If he's come to that event and start talking shit about defending himself and making it look like he's all innocent. This guy has something on his head and has to be knocked for that. I hate it when we're seeing people like him doing casual things while many people he has affected made their lives miserable. Could this poster has been made before the FTX collapse? Anyway, this event is loaded of prominent people except Sam.

Demo politicians. Sam might actually not going to be investigated while Steven Seagal just promoting a token was investigated and paid $314,000 as ordered by SEC. He wasn't even aware it was a scam. A well-connected freak like Sam is free to go anywhere and head high speaking to the public.

You aren't as crazy as it seems if you believe a conspiracy theory that this crash is well planned as they are all in cahoots and Yellen the old bitch is part of it.
That makes sense and looks like most things are connected. When you've got the personal connection with powerful people, you can getaway with anything that you do even if they're the baddest thing that you've ever done.
It's going to be a huge surprise if he's going to be present on this event and will do the presentation or speaking just as what the poster has advertised. It's crazy to think how a man can freely move while too many of its users have been thinking how they can get back on track while the mastermind of it seems to be not caring at all.
2391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shell, enters Bitcoin mining and sponsors Bitcoin conferences on: November 18, 2022, 07:46:06 PM
This is a great news about bitcoin but unfortunately it is coming when there is too much bad news in the industry already, that is why the good news is finding it difficult to make wave.
A company that produces energy to come into Bitcoin mining is a very large advantage to Bitcoin. This can make the debate of green energy and bitcoin energy consumption to come to an end.
The producers of energy will now be directly involved in the energy expenditure
They're like going for distribution but not for actual mining. It's certainly a huge advantage to bitcoin because of how big Shell is, there goes the exposure and stuff that we always want to see when it's coming from huge and known companies like them. We may also see that it's going to help about the unending consumption of electricity issue about bitcoin mining and hopefully, it's going to clear its way out there since it's not just really mining that's on it but also the manufacturing sectors and industries.
2392  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Have you ever seen a Finance Market Place like this? on: November 17, 2022, 11:14:22 PM
Never heard about peerwallet and the solutions that you've mentioned really are going to be great and helpful. Although that actually breaks the purpose of crypto for which it should be a P2P as you've mentioned and it should be crypto-crypto transaction and settle the crypto-fiat transaction. But since most exchanges and services like this are into convenience, we will eventually forget of what an actual P2P in a crypto setup really is. And to say with this service, there will be other competitors that will try to build up and be the better version of any existing one now.

Well, an act like this will be copied by other investors that are unsure of the market and haven't experienced the past bear markets. Looking at huge people like Bukele and other popular investors broadcasting their move about buying bitcoin. It's the encouragement that they're looking for so, I honestly think that it's a good idea that he has said this vocally on his Twitter account for others to have a reference on what they must do right now.

But, is he going to come to the event and say that FTX's collapse was due to hacking and not his fault?
Maybe if Do Kwon is presented it will also complete the list of potential and talented young speakers (to the detriment of millions of people).

If you can't lessen the number of games then you have to take accountability for it because that's the whole meaning of gambling. You'll never know if you're going to win to not especially with sports betting because of the team being involved that you're betting for.
There should be the caveat for you having those number of games because the risk is higher with that but, the reward is what making it more interesting because it's also high so please be reminded about that.

How can you be trusted by that number of users if you can't even have that SEO and be the first to show in the results of Google with exact keyword and name of your exchange?

Even the site isnt indexed in google search until the first 10 pages, and the site can't be opened on my side. It's very strange how 5 million users found this site in the first place. Or, sure it's a tough job if the OP has filled the database with that many fake accounts since it was founded. Tongue

Btw, archive org explains something else what this service was.

web.archive.org/web/20130401000000*/bityx.com
archive.is/bityx.com
I doubt it that he'll fill all of those 5 million dummy accounts just to prove it to the few that he's got it. But the total number of volume will speak to itself if they're a legitimate exchange.
I haven't found the website itself looking through Google since that's I usually do so that other related articles or websites to it will also come out but it seems that there were none.
2397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shell, enters Bitcoin mining and sponsors Bitcoin conferences on: November 16, 2022, 11:37:41 PM
I'm tired of listening to FTX and Binance drama these days and finally here's some good news.

The ecological imbalance threats of Bitcoin mining were the reason Bitcoin adoption becomes slow and it comes to mining and good thing it becomes green Bitcoin mining now and this big company firms find a solution to this which is totally good news. 

Let's hope other big companies will find another green solution of mining Bitcoin, this is a good step in Bitcoin adoption which start with a green process.
That's what I'm hoping for, the big companies will start to get interested with bitcoin and mining and other stuff related to cryptocurrencies. Because with their resources, they can contribute a lot and also give opportunities to many enthusiasts out there if they're needing a helping hand just to step and get started on it.

People still assume that Shell is purely an oil company, but the reality is that all these oil companies have a million other investments and renewable energy is one of them. You think they would only invest into oil and hope that oil will make them profit forever? They are obviously aware that they need to go towards renewable energy because the whole world is going there, which means they could also help bitcoin mining world by making it self sufficient as well.

It's one of the steps they are taking, in my nation there is a huge investment to wind turbines, there is like 750 of them owned by shell and that's A LOT OF wind turbines, 750 is not a small amount, that could power an entire city of 1 million people if I am not wrong, could be even more, it's really huge investment.
Typically, big companies like Shell are diversified and they understand that the only thing that's constant is change. And that's why they're very flexible and adaptable to the changes that's happening not just on their industry but also in the others that we may see them interested too. They can really help the miners on this case especially when a lot of critics keeps on talking about renewable energy and bitcoin mining is one of the culprits of cutting of energy and it consumes a lot of it. As you've mentioned wind turbines, in what country is that?

They are the first to do this and hope that it will be a good result once they implement their plans. Looks like the problem of power consumption for BTC mining is going to be solved in the next years because after Shell will show positive results about this, I'm sure the others will follow it as well just like how the payment apps nowadays become crypto wallets as well. Maybe for others, this is not a smart move by Shell but to be the first to help the miners means getting more clients first and also being the first one to acquire huge profits from them.
Those that don't see this as a good news and not smart, I think that they're missing the whole thing. There is the essence for being the first in everything. And as an oil and energy company, Shell is the first one to show this type of interest that's actually taking place and doing the thing, not just all about plans.

Lets hope they use the gas that is flared at source to generate electricity, and use that to mine Bitcoin. That seems better than just wasting the energy by warming the atmosphere.
Hope so, I guess that they would be generous to share those to the miners.

All the rhetoric of reducing emissions and making mining more sustainable is lovely. Moreover, Shell is a huge company, so it's a big deal for Bitcoin publicity and increasing popularity (if only it weren't overshadowed by FTX, of course). That being said, I think what we're seeing here is greenwashing. Shell is a gas and oil company, a company doing business precisely in the things we should be abandoning. Moreover, in a study of greenhouse gas emissions between 1998 and 2015, Shell was #9 on the list of companies with highest impact, accounting for 1.67% of global industrial emissions.
Bingo! You nailed it about the publicity that bitcoin is getting with this step made and done by Shell. Although there's the fact that they're one of the biggest emissions for greenhouse gasses. At what rank they're right now? I just wish that they're able to take the call for lesser emission through solutions that they've discovered and made and which is going to be offered to the miners.

this is truly excellent news! 5 years ago this would be unthinkable. It is only proof that Bitcoin is gaining streght and new solutions for mining will start appearing fom the companies that we would never be waiting for.

I hope that after shell other energy companies will follow.
Every year and cycle that passes by, there's always the new trend and adoption that's happening for bitcoin and we all are liking it. And with this through Shell, this is just one of it and I'm sure that there's more to come for the next years.

I wonder whether this will be the future of Bitcoin mining, hash power in the hand of a handful companies that have access to tonnes and tonnes of money and energetic resources.
Sure, we all still can solo mining or join to a pool, the pools themselves are an evolution within the mining ecosystem, I just wonder if companies like Shell will fairly compete against pools for the blocks or they will use their money to lobby against the pools and the right of the people to decide whether or not to participate in a pool.

It would be bad if in the future the hash power is mostly controlled by a few oil companies, which would respond to the orders of the usual politicians.
As of now, they're not yet there but it's very likely that they'll also join the miners and have their own bitcoin mining facilities built. They're already at their advantage for having it built because they'll have no issues with power and it's possible to happen because they have no problem with funding and investments and of course, the power.

2399  Economy / Gambling / Re: Black Friday fever: do you wait for extra bonuses from casinos? on: November 16, 2022, 09:41:49 PM
It's a good promo but you have to fill those information and provide it for them. If you're a gambler and you think that you're okay with that, then fill up all of those information to be eligible for that 150% deposit bonus.
I know that there are a lot of gamblers that are okay with filling up their information or passing on the kyc, as long as the bonus is worth it to take and it's a lot to be taken care of whilst the requirements are that easy.
not many people want to provide KYC documents on any site, but if indeed it is a requirement that must be complied with well I think there is no problem as long as they also want to process withdrawals and other things properly, because it's not easy to get people to complete their KYC data, but there are also people who want to get a bonus, they provide their documents, it depends on each gambler, but most of them always avoid KYC
Yes, that's what majority don't like to fill up - the kyc. If you're up for those bonuses and they have to require you to fill kyc, that's your decision if you're going to want and see how it goes since you probably have been used to the kyc thing coming from exchanges and other casinos. There's no way to avoid these when most of them have been regulated and customers just have to comply or else you've got to find another one that don't ask for it.

Axie will never recover if you ask me and I have my reasons for it. The main reason is that we are talking about a game and that means we are talking about something that would be valid as much as the game is valid,
I also think that it will never recover even we go through another bull run, that's not going to be enough of what it has shown during the peak of it. It's too far to be seen again and if it will recover, that's not going to be near as the last time that it has made noise in the P2E market. The entirety of P2E is nearly dead.

and if the game is not played then the token will go down.
Despite there are still users and players that do play the game. Talking about its market and economy, it's still not going to reach close from what it has been made before.
