4341  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: March 12, 2021, 03:56:39 AM
+160% in last month. That seems a very good price performance.
Less than 900 AEON are mined per day. That makes current price ridiculously cheap. There are 14.4 million doge mined a day. There are 86.4k Grin mined a day. If any of these 3 coins is ready fro x100, that is AEON.

The volume and liquidity is not much and should be considered, however. This can be argued that this +160% of ours is the beginning of a pump and dump.

@bigslimvdub. Grin mimblewimble is also private by default.

The NFT is next big thing in crypto. We can easy say 2021 will be NFTs era. With a lot of stuff happening in world it's a really good time for the. ENJ and RARI already had big rise and they will keep growing.

I have a riddle for the next big thing in crypto. If the blockchain where the sold NFT was forked and the fork became the dominant chain then which chain does the real ownership belong? The original chain or the fork?

@KIZILAGA. I am not so certain if they are testing the waters and have bought Grin, however, I am wuite certain this is in their list of coins to follow. I reckon theymos’ support should be enough that everyone should give it some attention.

Hello grinners. Been playing around a bit with grin lately. Thought I would fire up my old BCT account and check out the thread here.

I never buy an altcoin early because of that early inflation. I watched grin for a while for a bottom. Finally just bought hoping I caught the bottom.

It's a really cool project. Criminally undervalued at rank #500+. I hope the wider crypto community recognizes. this.  Undecided But what ever, I'm willing to gamble a little on the hopes that they will.

Bitcoin user from 2010 reappears and posts on Grin announcement thread. I reckon this coincides with the data that the earliest of bitcoin holders are exiting bitcoins to invest somewhere else.

This might also not only be an investment on the coin, it might be an investment on the infrastructure also. Follow the hashrate and watch it grow. It might begin this year.

We should always remember that if a politician or a government official defend their policies by saying that it is for the public’s own good, this is never true. The create policies to control you and limit your freedom. This is never for your own good.

Consumer protection is also another way of saying limit the consumer. I reckon when the real time comes where bitcoin becomes really needed, it might only be barely available for the common people. It should always be open access.



Should he be confirmed, Gensler will shape crypto policy over the next several years, though it’s an open question if the industry will love the rules he implements. Under his tenure, the CFTC approved nearly 70 rules or pieces of guidance, and he may just regulate the hell out of crypto. He told the Senate Banking Committee he intends to continue focusing on consumer protection at the SEC.

@stomachgrowls. I reckon you really want Elon Musk to become bald from stress hehehe. Tesla’s investment capabilities do no exceed more than $15billion hehehe. Tesla has never had a full year of profit in the car business except on 2020.

Also, they are certainly not investing in bitcoin because they want adoption. Would that make their move on bitcoin less serious?

Ok, so the news desk at Bitcoin.com acknowledge the trend of big companies.

Quote
One of China’s top internet app makers, Meitu Inc., is adding up to $100 million worth of cryptocurrencies to its treasury, joining a growing list of companies worldwide to do so.

It is hard to know how these companies will react to a bear market. I recon there
wont be one or a prolonged one. If there is one will the pricing in the bear market
be lower than their buy price?

Also why would they sell back into a presumably hyperinflated FIAT system?

These moves we are seeing are about preserving wealth ahead of weakening FIAT systems

It might be easier to know with public companies because if the company is a public company then its shareholders can pressure the company’s board of directors.

In any case, I reckon with big companies holding bitcoin, it is beginning to place itself as a mainstream asset for speculation. This is very incredible for an opensource project.

Israel Adesanya left foot and ankle are screwed after fight with Blachowicz and he could face up to six months medical suspensions and Jan Blachowicz is suspended only for 30 days!
In comparison with best acting performance of the night Sterling who was suspended only for 60 days after that knee in his head, that is much less than Adesanya.
Is something wrong here?  Smiley

Everyone is still talking about this past event but we must move on to next UFC 187 starting in few days with Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhamad main event.
Rise of Belal Muhammad:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxhUUWZTfWQ

Is uncle Dana promoting Belal more than Leon hehehe. I reckon Dana does not like Leon Edwards because he is similar to Tyron Woodley. They are very selective on their next opponent.

Also, for Amanda Nunes, I reckon she should challenge the men in bantamweight or featherweight for an intergender championship hehehehehe.

This Chinese company has also begun buying bitcoin to store in its treasury reserves. Anyone who reads my posts knows that I have always been skeptical on many things. I reckon that we have to speculate if these companies are buying bitcoin to dump later or to hodl. We can trust their hodl in this bull market but in the bear market?



Chinese Public Company Adds Bitcoin and Ethereum to Treasury Reserves

Chinese public company Meitu Inc. announced Sunday:

The group has purchased 15,000 units of ether and 379.1214267 units of bitcoin (BTC), both cryptocurrencies, in open market transactions at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$22.1 million and US$17.9 million respectively, on March 5, 2021.

Founded in 2008, Meitu is one of China’s top internet enterprises utilizing AI-driven image-and-video processing technologies for editing user-generated mobile content.

4350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India to regulate Bitcoin?Good news for crypto enthusiast on: March 10, 2021, 03:21:28 AM
I reckon the only reason why the Indian government has changed from a full ban to regulation is because a ban is very difficult to enforce. They would only make criminals of their citizens.

I was hoping for a full ban so that it would be made an example of what a government should not do on behalf of saving themselves from the cryptospace hehehe. The full ban would have made cryptocoins closer to what they should be.
4351  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2021-03-03 Coindesk - Warren Says Yellen Left No Room for Ambiguity on: March 10, 2021, 02:12:46 AM
This is where the attack on the cryptospace begins in America. This will be done first though the IRS. However, the truth might be that they do not care about the taxes. America can print much fiat. The government only wants to invade everyone’s privacy to gain more control over their citizens. This makes it very clear that an attack on the cryptospace is a hidden attack on the people.



The IRS is launching a new anti-tax fraud initiative called Operation Hidden Treasure, Forbes reports. A joint effort from the IRS’ Fraud Enforcement Office and its Criminal Division, the task force will dig up unreported crypto transactions and hold would-be tax evaders accountable.

Roger Brown, head of tax and regulatory affairs at the crypto data company Lukka, told Decrypt that Operation Hidden Treasure is the IRS’ way of “raising the stakes” when it comes to enforcement.

Since the effort is being jointly handled with the criminal division, said Brown, it’s going to be looking specifically at intentional concealment, rather the kinds of underreporting that might be categorized as civil tax fraud.

4352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Services of betting on your behalf on: March 09, 2021, 01:40:18 AM
As Oilacris mentioned, you might be referring to betting brokers.

But before you get into it, have you asked yourself why you need one in the first place? If you are betting moderate amounts and are doing it from a jurisdiction which is not restricted by your platform of choice, I don't think you really need a broker. Yes, brokers may offer you certain odds exclusively available to VIPs, but I don't think it's worth it if you are not really a heavy bettor. After all, certain fees will have to be charged on you.

Don't get into it simply because a friend has doubled his money. This a scammer's line. Instead, know all the pros and cons.

Agreed. I reckon that it is certainly very much safer to speculate on a pumping altcoin with a market capitalization of less than $100 million and more than tripling my money in this bull market than doubling my money with an untrustworthy betting broker.

Strange that no one mentioned here, that Conor McGregor has sold his stakes in Proper Twelwe and became even more rich Smiley

The skeptical me is thinking that it might not be good business as Conor makes it appear. Why sell your stakes on a good business? Business might not be good. I heard many negative reviews on his whiskey.

Also, strange that no one mentioned that Dan Hardy was fired from the UFC.
4354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where does Elon and Saylor store their bitcoins? on: March 09, 2021, 12:31:27 AM
Not knowing where they store their bitcoins is the first line of defense against people that are trying to get their hands on it. I mean where they store their bitcoins is none of our business in my opinion, and as @taufik123 said, it is personal and sensitive. You do not ask a man about his money unless he tells them so we better be off somewhere that doesn't need inquiry.

It is none of our business, however, what can they do to stop Chainanalysis or a Chinese blockchain analytics group from looking for them? They have been doing it on us without respect for our privacy.

I also have been telling everyone about exchanges’ disrespect on our privacy, however, many people here do not argue about it. I ask where Elon’s coins are stored and suddenly some people argue that we should respect his privacy hehehe. If Elon wanted privacy he should have bought Monero.
4355  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-02-12] Cramer Thinks Every Corporate Treasurer Should Be Thinking Bitcoin on: March 09, 2021, 12:05:39 AM

It is quite funny how personalities in the mainstream media can be so bullish when there is a bull run, but what will be their attitude once there can be a bearish period? I am a believer in Bitcoin but to say that all corporations or business should have Bitcoin is not a good advice especially coming from CNBC...that is hyping at best. Not all business can be good at handling cryptocurrency. And not all are prepared for the ups and downs of cryptocurrency. Anyway, this is always what we are getting from the media...they are coming to exploit something's popularity but is so ready to junk something when it is not yet or will not be anymore popular.

It is great advice for corporations if they are concerned about inflation from all the helicopter money that has been printed over the last 12 months.  It protects shareholder wealth to have some Bitcoin vs fiat.

Agreed. However, what I am afraid of is when mainstream media begins to be very bullish on bitcoin, it should be a time to begin to be cautious. Mainstream bullishness was an indicator that the bear might pounce on the market anytime hehehe.

Also this storyline. This will be the concern until December.

It appears Dana has more problems after UFC 259 hehehe.

Jon Jones will not fight, Khabib has retired, Conor McGregor was defeated, no one cares to watch Amanda Nunes and Israel Adesanya has also lost some of his reputation as the next goat. Dana will put all hope on Francis Ngannou on March 27 hehehehe.

Watch before the fight happens and see what makes this champion tick before placing your bets.
I can relate to the way Isreal carries himself into a fight and does not let things get in his way to achieve his goals.
Think of it as mamba mentality. Cool

I like Israel Adesanya and what he is doing for the sport MMA, however, how can he defeat Jan who is a fighter bringing 30 more pounds of weight over Adesanya? Dana is very much hyping his new pet hehehe. We should be realists because the fight might also be similar to Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway.

that's what Jan meant when he said "I think he will take me seriously!"  30 more pounds isn't a safer opponent for anyone not even for the stylebender for a competitive MMA match. bigger fighters like Jan who is in the light heavyweight can easily recover after a slight groggy when hit by a high kick to the head. it's a dangerous weight class for Adesanya.



It appears that weight and size has been proven to be very advantageous even if the opponent has more skill in striking hehe. We might also begin to witness this storyline from fans that Israel Adesanya can beat Jon Jones will stop hehehe.

@DireWolfM14. That rumor might be very true. Belichick was preparing Jimmy to be his replacement for Tom Brady already before maybe an unplanned decision to extend Tom Brady with the Patriots? I do not know the story hehe.

I speculate Deshaun Watson will go to San Francsico as a replacement.

You mean the new VIPs of the social media. They make for excellent click-baits for news sites that are always dying to get traffic.

Quote
and follow the movement of their coins.
What kind of useful information would it give anyone to follow where the coins of someone else is going?!

You might consider them like a VIP, however, there are many people in the community who consider them to be the new heros of bitcoin.

Useful information would be if their coins are moving back to Coinbase. I reckon that would be very useful for traders. It might also be very useful for the IRS and the government hehehe.
