Did anyone read the article? It appears much of you who replied in this thread did not read it.

In any case, @Blawpaw, the writer has the mind of the skeptic and the article is a skeptical view on what is happening behind the cryptospace while the larpers support what they do not really understand. The larpers cheer if bitcoin pumps without questioning why. They only assume that this is because of adoption, a favorite word in the cryptospace hehehe.

It should also make you question Bitcoin’s stock to flow model. What if the stock to flow model is only a marketing tool to trick everyone. What if it is Tether pumping the price to make it appear that the price is moving according to the model.

It is a cooperation and not a condition where who is influencing who. The skeptical me is speculating that Blockstream wants to create this project for profit, president Bukele wants the project because it is another place where he and his friends can use it for money laundering and Tether, Bitfinex, iFinex is the liquidity and shadow banking provider. This is only business.

Where is Nutildah Jones? He is my opponent for this week and it appears that he might have left. He has 2 players on bye week but he has not changed to place active players in their starting slots. This is strange if he left without telling us. I hope that he is not sick. This coronavirus is beginning to mutate and making vaccinated people also sick.

@Welsh. It appears you and Colby Covington certainly have very similar opinions on Khamzat Chimaev hehe. However, I am skeptical of his opinion. I reckon this might be a business or career decision if Colby demands the UFC to organize a fight with him versus Khamzat. It would be Colby’s short cut and be given the right to challenge for the welterweight championship again if he is the winner.

It appears that Changpeng Zhao’s will is beginning to bend to the will if the authorities hehehe. It also appears for me that the real reason behind his willingness to sell some stakes in the exchange is not to improve perception and relationship with regulators. I am skeptical of this. I speculate the real reason might be CZ is looking to sell his shares and exit from Binance to avoid legal problems coming to him.



Binance Seeks Investments From Sovereign Wealth Funds

The cryptocurrency exchange’s global entity is looking to ameliorate its relationships with governments.

Zhao hopes that Binance’s “perception and relationships” with regulators around the world would improve if sovereign wealth funds took a stake in the company, according to the report. “But it may also tie us to specific countries[,] ... which we want to be slightly careful with,” Zhao said.

The exchange is also looking to set up global headquarters, a 360-degree turn from its decentralized operations model.

I know hehehe. Many people are calling him Samsung Mao as a joke for his extremist idealism on Bitcoin maximalism. His acceptance of Tether might have broken that idealism, however. He used to say any cryptocoin that is not bitcoin is a scam.

Would you speculate or suspect that Bukele chose to work with the hustlers behind Tether is because it would be very much easier to move money using Tether’s shadow banking connections than use the real banking system?

It appears this thread has reached 28 pages without knowing where to bet this or where to find the odds for this fight hehehe. Does anyone know where we can get odds for Donaire and Gaballo? Does anyone speculate that this might be another 1.10 for Donaire and 7.10 for Gaballo?

Reymart Gaballo might be very much underestimated by everyone. He is undefeated and he is only 25 years old, Donaire is 39. I am aware that Donaire won vs. Oubaali who was also undefeated, however, Oubaali is 35 years old with only 17 wins. Reymart has 24 wins.

@rdbase. You appear to be a football expert hehe. I am aware that San Francisco’s team is beginning to look healthier than weeks ago. However, what are your thoughts on the Minnesota Vikings +3? They will play on the road vs. San Francisco 49ers with a record of only 1 - 4 in their home stadium and 4 - 6 against the spread. Minnesota is 6 - 4 against the spread.

I am presently shaking my head because Samsung is wearing a shirt with a Tether logo. Was he not one of those very loud maximalists who held the opinion strongly that everything that is not bitcoin is a scam? However, he is presently working with the most questionable group of people in the cryptospace.

What I am curious about this new bitcoin bond is what would be Tether’s part in this? Would this be another created chance for Tether to expand their balance sheet and hold the bonds as backing for USDT?

This is the latest news from Kazakhstan and it appears that their government did not have the need to ban mining hehe. It was the miners that shut down their farms by themselves. I speculate in some areas in China, it would be a similar situation if there was no ban.

In any case, Kazakhstan‘s government is encouraging the miners to create an independent renewable capacity. This appears to be another chance for Tether, Bitfinex, iFinex to issue bonds and do another project similar to their geothermal energy project in El Salvador.



Mining in south Kazakhstan is no longer possible, Xive co-founder Didar Bekbau said.

Crypto mining company Xive shut down a 2,500-rig mine in South Kazakhstan due to lack of sufficient electricity supply from the national grid, co-founder Didar Bekbau told CoinDesk on Wednesday.

Kazakhstan has been grappling with electricity shortages, partly caused by an influx of crypto miners from China. The southern part of the country is particularly vulnerable as the region lacks abundant electricity generating plants and the national grid cannot reliably transfer electricity from the energy-rich northern region.

Crypto miners, like Xive and Enegix, have been facing electricity issues since September due to rationing from KEGOC, the national grid operator. KEGOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Xive is preparing a new site for the over 2,500 machines, but “it is clear that mining in south Kazakhstan is not possible anymore,” Bekbau told CoinDesk.

Recently, the government said it wants to encourage crypto miners to develop independent renewable energy capacity. The industry hopes that after Kazakhstan expands its renewable electricity capacity in the next one-two years, the limit might change, Sapar Akhmetov, chairman of the board of the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain Technology told CoinDesk.

However, did everyone assume or expect that Daniel Jones would bring them to the playoffs or have a positive win and loss record for the season? I am not a football expert but I think another failure was assumed by much of the observers before the season begun. Similar to the Jets or the Washington football team.

Daniel Jones has more losses than wins with 11 wins and 26 losses in his career.

@winnerdeal. Share the screenshots of all the emails you sent and received from Cloudbet and also share what bonus conditions Cloudbet was implying to you. I was a regular Cloudbet user before and I have never encountered problems, however, my account was only small. Your $190,000 is an amount that needs help from a lawyer or the authorities from your jurisdiction.

Also, is your account verified? It is important that they have your identification verified in their database so they cannot deny your complaint or dismiss you.

Protos has reported on Elon’s tweets and the effects, however, it did not ask why he is doing this. I am very skeptical if he is doing this similar to John Mcafee. John Mcafee was doing this to pump the coin and he can make a profit from the pump. It was also speculated that he was a paid shiller. But Elon Musk? He does not need the money, he also owns several companies and he holds only 3 cryptocoins according to him, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin. Is he doing this for his own happiness? There might be something wrong in his head hehehe.



Floki Inu (FLOK), for example, debuted on decentralized exchanges shortly after Musk tweeted: “My Shiba Inu will be named Floki,” in late June.

FLOK initially listed at $0, but reached a top of $0.00000871 four days later — all based on Musk tweeting that he intended to name his new Shiba Inu pup “Floki.”

Not to mention, the price of Dogecoin mimic Shiba Inu (SHIB) exploded 186% on the day that Musk tweeted: “I’m looking for a Shiba Inu pup!”.

SHIB pumped up to 2,100% in the next week — the single biggest Musk pump on record. The token even held onto about half of those gains, closing the week up more than 930%.

There was also BABYDOGE, a shitcoin entirely inspired by one of Musk’s more braindead tweets from July 1: “Baby Doge, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Baby Doge, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Baby Doge, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Baby Doge.”

@Fundamentals Of. The IMF can threaten, however, they cannot do anything to stop this unless the American government takes down Tether and Bitfinex or send the military hehehe.

Also, the project does not need the full support of the community. Everything was planned already before the project has begun. I am quite certain that Tether has a very big part in this and it also an opportunity to expand their balance sheet. I would also not be shocked if the American government sends letters to Tether again for another investigation.

Also include the date. Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos Jr. is scheduled to fight this Saturday or early morning Sunday in Europe.

What is everyone’s prediction? I am shaking my head why the sportsbooks predict that Teofimo Lopez will have a higher chance to win through a knockout than a decision. His opponent is undefeated and this fight is only in lightweight boxing which is very light hehehe. It is 20 pounds lighter than MMA’s lightweight division. I predict Lopez by decision with very good odds.

I would like to witness success, however, as a realist I am very skeptical. This might be the first time in the modern world where a planned city will be built from scratch.

Also, the success I would also want to witness is Tether and Bitfinex’s new responsibility as the new IMF to hyperdollarize 3rd world countries hehehe. The IMF will shake their heads because this would certainly be a major use case for USDT.

Su Zhu of 3 Arrows Capital is one of the largest cryptofunds in the cryptospace. In the beginning of the bull market he declared that Ethereum will be in a super cycle, implying that it will continue to pump during a bear market. However, his opinion might have changed. He blames the gas fees for this.

But I am skeptical of him also. He is speculated to tell everyone to buy when he is dumping and sell when he is pumping. He might only be criticizing Ethereum because he wants to pump his Solana and Avax investments.



Over the weekend, Three Arrows Capital co-founder Su Zhu sent a 46-word missive to his quarter-million Twitter followers explaining that he was leaving the original smart contract-enabled blockchain over rising transaction costs and falling network usability.

"Yes I have abandoned Ethereum despite supporting it in the past," he wrote. "Yes Ethereum has abandoned its users despite supporting them in the past. The idea of sitting around jerking off watching the burn and concocting purity tests, while zero newcomers can afford the chain, is gross."

He went on to decry a community in which people have to pay hundreds of dollars for transactions only to "get told some tales about how they should've been smart enough to buy ETH at $10."

It can also be argued that if no one wanted to buy El Salvador’s Bitcoin Bond, Bitfinex can print $1 billion USDT to expand their balance sheet and declare the bonds as one of the assets backing the issued USDT.

It appears that Bitfinex can also play the part of the Federal Reserve and the IMF, World Bank at the same time hehehe. I am beginning to become more confident that the people behind Bitfinex, Tether might copy China’s real estate developers’ transactions with shadow banking. It is also rumored that Tether was used to help Evergrande and others with liquidity problems before the collapse.



El Salvador is also working on a digital securities law and plans to issue the first operating license for a securities exchange to Bitfinex, Mow said.

“You know with Bitfinex, they have a lot of whales, so I don’t see a problem filling a billion-dollar bond,” he said.

Agreed. I am not certain why there are some people who speculated that Terence Crawford’s next fight would be versus Keith Thurman. Shawn Porter is higher in rank than Thurman and they want Crawford to fight the lower ranked boxer? I shake my head.

Similar to Errol Spence, Crawford’s next fight should only be for the unification. This is where Bob Arum made his mistake. He was busy thinking only about his business? Top Rank will not be included in the superfight between Spence and Crawford.

I am very much in agreement that Tether USDT will be used potentially to provide as a source of liquidity or as a medium for transacting without needing the services of the banks. It is speculated that this is also the service provided by Tether to fund China’s property developers like Evergrande when banking services were not available.
