I also have some shitcoins, it was when I had a small miner in gear. Now for a long time I have passed everything to BTC. Before trading aggressively, sometimes lost and others won, now only deals with 10% of the total and hodl. This brings me to a reflection: Bitcoin is like your GF, the altcoins are the rest of the girls that you like, but they can ruin your life, you decide.  This twitt is quite explicit: Every Bitcoiners at some point gets tempted to do some altcoin.
Only those that really understand Bitcoin's value will be able to resist.
Learn before you're tempted. https://twitter.com/jimmysong/status/1138998826075901953 |

Comente algo al respecto de la moneda de facebook (entonces se especulaba con el nombre GlobalCoin) pero el hilo fue movido a altcoins, comento esto aqui porque me parece que el revuelo que va a causar esto puede ser importante, de todas formas formas si @franckuestein , quiere moverlo no hay problema, o juntarlo con el de altcoins, lo que tu digas, no es mi intención hacer publicidad de altcoins, es mas la noticia en si que generara controversias de todo tipo. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147143.msg51208864#msg51208864Facebook publica el libro blanco para su criptomoneda LibraEl gigante de las redes sociales Facebook ha publicado hoy, 18 de junio, el libro blanco de su enormemente esperado proyecto de infraestructura financiera basada en criptomoneda y blockchain.
La nueva criptomoneda será gobernada por un consorcio sin ánimo de lucro con sede en Suiza, la "Libra Association", que cuenta entre sus miembros fundadores a Mastercard, PayPal, Visa, Stripe, eBay, Coinbase, Andreessen Horowitz y Uber.

Los mas ricos a día de hoy: - 1 Jeff Bezos - 2 Bill Gates - 3 Warren Buffett - 4 Bernard Arnault - 5 Carlos Slim Helu - 6 Amancio Ortega - 7 Larry Ellison - 8 Mark Zuckerberg A todo esto y para despejar dudas hay bastantes opiniones sobre lo que es Libra os pongo una de Antonopoulos, muy explicita:  https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/1140953685809348608Mas que nada porque esto puede provocar una nueva oleada de gente que llegara a la cryptografia de la mano de Facebook y Blockchain, Bitcoin, monedas, tokens, ico, etc,etc, van a tener un lió considerable. |

<…>Otra de las novedades es que la plataforma de ICE, lanzará contratos de futuros de BTC resueltos físicamente. Estos, a diferencia de los contratos de liquidación en efectivo ofrecidos por el Grupo CME, harán que los operadores reciban el BTC real en la fecha de vencimiento del contrato, y no la moneda fiat equivalente a su precio. <…>
Este punto sí que parece novedoso hoy en día, dado que es a la vieja usanza, cuando los contratos de futuros devengaban la entrega del producto en sí, y no un valor FIAT de precio equivalente. En su origen, los contratos de futuros permitian financiar operaciones. Hoy en día, diría que hay mucha más base especulativa en el proceso. Claro, esta es la diferencia de Bakkt con los futuros de CME XBT y los futuros de CBOE XBT que liquidaban en efectivo al cierre con el precio de BTC. (por cierto CBOE a final de mes ya no ofrecerá contratos de futuros.) El problema de esto es que bitcoin es muy volátil, así como sube también baja de golpe...
Este es el punto, hasta ahora siempre se a dicho que los futuros no alteran el precio de Bitcoin pero en las liquidaciones de futuros Bitcoin siempre tiene movimiento y si con Bakkt viene dinero institucional seguramente habrá mas especulación, por decirlo suave.  |

What i am saying is that this coin is totally different from BTC, but there are some markets that aren't covered by BTC (yet).
This is incorrect. BTC covers every part of the world, legal or not. For those where it is illegal, it is unlikely that this thing would be legal. Even if it becomes legal, those people will get conned by associating Libra with something that it isn't AND will get harmed once they find this our: * Sent money with dangerous description? Flagged. * Sent money to dangerous address? Flagged. * Sent money to someone we don't like? Flagged. When I said market I didn't mean geographical markets (they are all covered by bitcoin), but use-case. Forget, nobody will pay for coffees with Bitcoin, BTC is an asset, LN is a platform that will use other currencies. |

Thoughts on Libra “Blockchain”I’m pretty sure that would be a world first of a distributed network transitioning from permissioned to permissionless. Perhaps the network as a whole can switch to PoS, but in order for the stablecoin peg / basket to be maintained, some set of entities must keep a bridge open to the traditional financial system. This will be a persistent point of centralized control via the Libra Association. https://medium.com/@lopp/thoughts-on-libra-blockchain-49b8f6c26372 Sadly, not worth the time to read that. Terrible shitcoin. I agree with you, obviously it is shit, I said it in a previous post, but there are many people who read us and we must give arguments so that they understand. |

Let’s stop the Libra FUD If you do decide to use Facebook’s Calibra wallet then there are no guarantees. And I wouldn’t trust Facebook with my financial data. The statement on Calibra’s website reads:
“When you authorize a payment, we share data with third parties necessary to process that transaction. We also share Calibra customer data with managed vendors and service providers — including Facebook, Inc. — that support our business (e.g., to provide technical infrastructure or direct payment processing). In both cases, we share only the Calibra customer data that is necessary for completing the defined activity or service” https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2019/06/18/lets-stop-the-libra-fud/Another shitcoin.

Más funciones para el lanzamiento de los futuros de BitcoinBakkt reveló anteriormente que ofrecerá un contrato diario y mensual.
Ambos contratos tendrán una fluctuación de precio de 2,5 dólares americanos por Bitcoin, cada uno de ellos conteniendo un BTC. Igualmente, las operaciones serán ejecutables a $ 0.01 por Bitcoin, y los ciclos de listado durarán 12 meses para el contrato mensual, y 70 fechas de contrato elegibles consecutivas para el contrato diario.
Otra de las novedades es que la plataforma de ICE, lanzará contratos de futuros de BTC resueltos físicamente. Estos, a diferencia de los contratos de liquidación en efectivo ofrecidos por el Grupo CME, harán que los operadores reciban el BTC real en la fecha de vencimiento del contrato, y no la moneda fiat equivalente a su precio.

Fillippone made to 500 merits thanks to @CryptopreneurBrainboss Fillippone Self Made Hero Member... Fillippone going to update his Ego-Blowing post....oh wait! DAMN! Activity.... Congrats brother, Activity is the easy part, don’t worry it will come Grinding activity is so much slower and less interesting than grinding merits.... Just a game of attrition. Good job, Fillippone, now we have a long way to go, activity, do not worry about the merits, it is possible that when we reach the legendary rank, Theymos will no longer use the merit system. |

A very discreet car to use it daily and that transmits good feeling is the Audi RS4. (Avant, better for me)
The B4 RS4 2.7T Avant was a beast for the day. I never got into the V8 version. Not even sure what is under the hood now? If the 2.7T was a good car, the power delivery was a bit abrupt. Here some data from B7 and B9: RS4 (B7) V8 4.200c.c. (Atmospheric, no turbo) 420 HP / 309 / kW 0/100 Km/h 4.8s 1650 Kg. Full Traction Last version: RS4 (B9) V6 2.900c.c Biturbo 450 HP / 331 / kW 0/100 Km/h 4.1s 1790 Kg. Full Traction |

Is that an RS200?
It's a Lancia 037 Indeed. I also had a RS200 for about a month before it went to a new home. That had a 640 bhp rallycross engine. The prospect of it grenading was too horrifying so I did less than 50 miles in it. I find the prices these days mental but understandable for group B stuff. What I don't get is the more modest cars. I turned down an E30 M3 Sport Evolution that was about $7000 in 2000 ish. A good one of them goes for $150-175,000 now. It's a nice enough motor but very deffo not that nice or special. You could get Mercedes 190 Evo 2s for $20,000 all day long from Germany. They're now $250,000 or more. My hire car felt faster than one of them. Sunday's lesson is - get your internal combustion fix while it's still legal and affordable, kids. I'm a Quattro man myself, when it comes to group B fantasy. Nothing has ever sounded quite like those relentlessly boosted 5 jugs. Also. Ms. Mouton made quite the impression on my hormone addled teenage self setting back to back records at Pikes Peak.  You're right, very good driver Michele Mouton. I remember a video of Ari Vatanen in Pikes Peak, the whole video is good, but the minute 3.28 driving with one hand and the sun in the face, spectacular, after the minute 3.58 in the curve sliding to the edge of the precipice, impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKgeCQGu_ugA very discreet car to use it daily and that transmits good feeling is the Audi RS4.
