Phoenix Suns was part of the Cleveland Cavaliers' "best possible trade packages for Kyrie Irving". So why not?

This is worth reading and might give you some fearless forecast about where Kyrie should land.

I once saw a rumor that kyrie will be traded for aldridge and mills. if this happens, it is a win win for both teams. Parker is old and should be retiring soon and kyrie is a good replacement for him.

Well it seems that kyrie's really on his way out as the cavs are right on signing drose probably to fill the void at least with irving's departure. I'm also curious as to how this will play out. It's said that kyrie would prefer the spurs though i don't see anyone in the spurs' lineup that would be a good exchange.

It's taken me about two months, but i have finally migrated back to bittrex. Never wanted to go to polo a couple years ago anyway, but volume dropped off a cliff on trex. With the increased lag and shadiness on polo, combined with newfound volume on trex, I'm happy to be trading there again

Btw, I think this added volume on bittrex is a direct result of the lack of trader confidence in poloniex. Fuck em lol

I suppose if there were some actually relevant news, like Lykke had received ANY license to trade other than a "Vanuatu brokerage license" the LKK price would react. But while I believe Lykke's US rep went so far as to anticipate imminent US regulation in the months ahead during the online AGM (from his laptop at the airport), I view this as unsubstantiated, unprofessional and misleading. He doesn't know IF AND WHEN US regulators will give him approval. What if they do not? What is Lykke's business case then?

This is how a lot of regulators I know work: You apply for a license. They examine your application, and if they're favourable or unfavourable they'll give preliminary written feedback, which of course is market sensitive information and will be immediately released by the company in question. Then later the regulator usually - not always - follows up with a final determination granting or not granting, as the case may be.

Lykke has "got people on it". How we get from that to publically stating likely timeframes within periods of months I don't know - or rather I do: that's what the person promising speedy regulatory approval hopes for. What you hope for isn't likely, and shouldn't be presented to investors as such. I think Lykke's hopes of licensing is an example of this. But let's look at another example, the Winklevoss brothers ETF application. It was rejected. Then a whole lot of "news" outlets in the crypto space started reporting the "news" that the SEC will "review" its decision. This isn't "news", it's a statutory obligation the SEC must offer to ALL applicants whose applications are not frivolous.

I do not like Coindesk, Cointelegraph or whatever manipulating the true nature the situation (eg. the SEC rejection of Winklevoss' ETF) to paint a picture not really aligned to reality. I like even less Lykke which claims to want to be a major financial exchange doing it. To me it's just like manipulation at every level - on the LKK price which users can't control, and then on the roadmap.

Somehow true but maybe it was minimized now. Attitude can be changed, at least if he will feel the intimidating aura of Lebron James if they will play as a teammate on the same floor. I see Rose will step down here and will just do what kind of help he can bring to the CAVS.

But still prior to that contribution, the questioned if he can play at leats 50% of Cavaliers game throughtout the season. We all know that this guy is prone injury resulting minimal performance by him in every game.

every on holding the Ants hope trading on poloniex,but poloniex has not list new coins for a long time!

At the moment, Derick Rose is negotiating with the Cavs, according to ESPN. The max that Rose can get in Cleveland is 2.5 mln per one season. 

It seems that Cavs will bring half of league just to match with the Warriors. But...

I think you are wrong. Andre Igoudala was the main man in Philadelphia when he was there. He posted his best stats while he was with them. Iverson was already in his downturn with his career with Philadelphia that's why they got Andre to fill in the shoes. I guess too much expectations from him was a factor for his "below" performance as a Sixers main man. But now he is enjoying a great career with GSW.

LOL. Kevin Love established the longest streak for consecutive games recording double figures in points and rebounds since the ABA–NBA merger. How can you say that he is not the franchise player in Minnesota Timberwolves. If that alone doesn't proved about him as main man during his stint with the Timberwolves, then I don't know what to say.

Look tempus and mtnsaa leave the Richard Olsen thing alone. I hardly think calling a successful businessman a "ruthlessly successful businessman" would give someone an action against me, anonymous or not. The whole point is I never post factually inaccurate things, or personally attack people. Just because there's a soft velvet glove on the outside doesn't mean there's not an iron fist inside it, and there's a lot of successful people I think that applies to.

And no it doesn't bother me at all that Richard Olsen gets supermajority of LKK and makes most profit from Lykke's success, and no tempus from all the documents I've seen he is not the largest capital investor, there were some angel investors and the ICO and that's where most of the funding came from. I don't mind that either, I say good on him. What I mind is the pretense that he's not a hard-as-nails businessman out to make money - if he's not into the money he can pledge half his coins to the Gates Foundation or something. I don't think he should, I just think it's insane to suggest he has no profit motive. But let's just leave him out of it, I think we both agree that we admire him even if you see more selfless motivations in him than I do.

The point is other people put up most of the capital, and Richard stands to make a supermajority of the profit. The question 'is that unfair?' to me is a pointless one. The better question is, is that life? Yes, it is.

tempus I agree with you that once Bitcoin DOES scale with Segwit 2x,and like you I believe IT WILL, then it will go crazy upward. But before that, as we get closer to 1 August, I wonder if some money will get scared out of the market, and I think non BTC coins including Lykke are likely to be more affected by this fear than even BTC. Like you say, we'll see.

What are the long-term plans of Richard Olsen, the major shareholder?
Richard has pledged his shares to a social cause after fulfilling his other responsibilities.

Coinmarket cap gets to decide what to include in a coin's marketcap. It chooses coins in free float. Whether this is right has been argued at length all over Reddit and Bitcointalk. I have my own view, but that's not important, what's important is coinmarketcap's view, and I think they're entitled to it. Ie. they're not breaking any law or regulation by doing it their way.

I don't see why everyone is so keen to see LKK's full value list on coinmarketcap. XRP people used to demand the same thing (coinmarketcap didn't oblige). Also don't see why people want the full value of LKK including the super-majority not in free float in the owners wallets published. A lot of people have bought into LKK thinking it's a "bargain" at the $50-something million mark. If they saw it was close to $400 million, it wouldn't look like such a bargain.

Yes, I tend to agree that in the leadup to Segwit 2x downside risk probably isn't fully priced, so below 15 cents would be a buying opportunity.

What I've said about Richard Olsen is Lykke is a "make Richard Olsen richer scheme". This is patently obvious given that he owns most LKK. It is not even a criticism of him, I think he's a genius. But I don't like this pretense that he's all a lovey-dovey, hug-the-tree, let's all be fair to each other, kindly Scandinavian uncle. If you didn't notice, he's a ruthlessly successful businessman - that's not a bad thing, but pretending to people that this man who owns most LKK is not in it for his own profit is a bad thing.

Melo is overrated player for me. No offense for his fans. He can't even carry a team even now or distributed much after bringing Denver Nuggets last 2009-2010 season into their first conference finals. That's the highlight of his career and follow up season is kinda not that interesting.

For me, New York Knicks must retained this player if Melo will agree. Revamp their bench as this squad doesn't have a second team. Don't just acquired injury prone player to saved salary cap. They must do what Boston Celtics after their decision to recruit young players and disband their championship lineup. It's a risk worth trying for.

Thanks Mann, lets hope this capital injection bring some tranquility to the shareholders... (EDIT) I personally think is a good gesture.

Another silly question: Every lykke wallet is, at the end, a bitcoin address, right? If this is the case, and a split happens (two or three blockchains) does it give us any right over the split result?

In case of a hard fork (though unlikely) Lykke will support both chains and make a market of both versions of BTC. Colored coins will be supported only on one of the chains, which is going to have majority of the hash rate

I really wish coinmarketcap would display the true market cap instead of the free float, it's very misleading since pretty much the entire crypto space uses that website
