Welp, just read the news about the mixers, you take a couple of days off to spend family time and all of the sudden something huge happens, I hate it when that happens lol. I hope that this forum will continue to operate for a very long time the exact way it has been because what we have here is great, even despite not being able to work on sigs anymore! Theymos is absolutely reasonable and a good person so get out of here with the corrupt nonsense!

Seems absurd for a BTC transaction to pay nearly 10 percent, were you using a Bitcoin ATM? LOL. Maybe perhaps this could be the aftermath of what Bitcoin Ordinals have done to congest the network??? This can't be the normal fees though it just doesn't add up. Please provide more insight on what this transaction TX is so somebody can check and potentially even give you some advice on how to lower the fee.

Pretty much anything that's been certified as genuine, this means coins, tokens, paper notes, stamps and even some artwork from the first couple of years.
The certifications will be very important as anything that goes up in value will eventually be copied/faked. Dated items will demand a premium as well as anything
first generation.
I agree. Also, The actual grade of the item will be more important at some point. The value of a MS62 1 Cas and a MS 66+ could be a big value difference. Always the grade is important for market value on the coins and most definitely for the future. Hopefully the grading companies will continue to embrace these coins and expand their coin base for grading to make room for even some of the newer coin makers. We have started to see a lot of newcomers in recent years with new designs and styles. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this awesome niche space. |

Is there any skill involved in any of their games or is it all purely chance?
What makes online casinos profitable and stable online business, because until now no gambler has found a way to beat the house, for every 1 winner they have 10 losers in their platform, why? Because it's not only a game of chance but the house has an edge, so you have two things to deal with before you win, the house edge and your luck, that is why casinos tell you to enjoy the game so you can take your losses with ease. So never compare the other gambler's luck to yours because like you they also depend on luck and they really don't have the skill to boast their chances to win. That's a good explanation 👌 . I've always thought that the house wins and obviously it does but unless you're counting cards or just having pure luck it's hard to beat the house. I like that movie 21 about the black jack card counters, but even if you win against the house if you win too much they take you out the back door and knock the sense out of you lol |

I don't even need to drop a source you can read it all over the internet and see it all over the news, Shimano got hacked earlier this week, MGM casino/hotel group reccently, Boeing, so many others. Ransomware groups are very intruiging to me because they operate just like any normal business; they even have a telephone line and an email for support on paying them their ransome to decrypt your company's data. These groups ought to think they are so savvy, until the US sanctions office comes and knocks on their door! Which is honestly sort of unlikely to happen at this point as these ransomware groups are sheer experts with computing and seeking out vulernable corporate networks to pillage and muck up. The average ransom paid out varies but can range from a couple thousand dollars to millions of dollars. Its even more so interesting to me because since these attacks are so commonplace now, insurance companies and regulators are all making sufficient cyber security solutions a requirement such as having an EDR solution that meets regulations in place in order to get coverage, and operate their business legally. Oftentimes Incident Response or IR companies are hired to help them negotiate w/ the cyber pirates and pay them a ransom in BTC. Hackers surely have quite the attack surface these days, just make sure your coins and crypto are secure!
Frankly, I really don't understand why FBI and other law enforcement haven't captured them yet. I mean, there are email addresses, BTC wallet addresses, IPs and what not... and yet the guys are still operating. Some groups like Phobos have been around for quite a long time. 5-6 years maybe more? So why the almighty three letter agencies, who are flexing their muscles by closing one BTC mixer after another, can't stop these ransomware guys?  What I can tell you is that they work together with a lot of other agencies including other government and non-goverment agencies such as law firms or insurance companies and there is compliance measure in place in terms of what BTC addresses that they can pay and cannot pay to, which to me is such a crazy idea because why would they allow or have to give the OK or permisison for an insurance company to pay criminals with crypto to pre checked btc addresses. This happens all the time and now there is industry standard cyber insurance and everything. The reality of this is that this funds industry on both sides of the equation and its honeslty just a byproduct of the maturity of the internet IMO. |

The best way to deal with ransomware is to NEVER PAY THE RANSOM.
If the network gets hacked, the companies will have to rebuild it from scratch with backed up data(assuming that they are backing up their data). If they don't backup their data, this means that they are totally unprofessional and irresponsible when dealing with sensitive info.
Cryptocurrencies should not be blamed for the existence of ransomware. What if the hackers are asking for gift cards instead of crypto?
Does that mean that all companies issuing gift cards are guilty for the existence of ransomware?
Yeah this is great and all until the company that doesn't pay the ransom had all your contact and payment information maybe even medical social security etc etc. The last company that didn't pay the ransom was Shimano and the hackers ended up publishing a lot of proprietary company information. It's a shame it has come to this. Current hackers with LockBit have even outed their victims to the SEC via a complaint form for not paying ransoms, |

It is wild to think that the next halving is so close. Now headed from 6.25 to 3.125 or something like that. Surely this will bring us into a new all time high and a new bitcoin era that raises a completely new ceiling for the price of bitcoin. I wonder if Satoshi ever know that in its 14th year that Bitcoin would be this prevalent in society and have such a strong record. Happy 11 year halvingversary!

I guess that $4B settles everything and CZ won't be ending up behind the bars. Although we're not defending him as he admitted that he committed that he's part of the money laundering based on what I've read about this case.
While SBF, clearly spent and used people's fund and that's why he's convicted.
At least CZ had some dignity and faced responsibility like a man. SBF on the contrary, did not admit he was guilty until the bitter end. He used customer's funds to build his little crypto empire. What CZ did, was honorable in my opinion. He paid the $4.3B settlement to the US government and declared himself guilty. This should increase investors'/traders' confidence on Binance exchange. Hopefully, the new CEO (Richard Teng) will guide the company towards the right direction. By working closely with regulators, Binance will survive for a very long time. This could be the beginning of a new era for both Binance and BNB.u Crypto land is often full of surprises, so expect the unexpected. Just my thoughts  It does appear that CZ learned from SBF's actions seeing the result publicly online and all over the news. Its clear that regulators are cracking down to pave the way for the Bitcoin ETF, and now with Binance's new figurehead Richard Teng we will see them have a much smaller impact on the exchance crypto industry as a whole. I for one am just now waiting for the equivalent of Trump mugshot for CZ, now just someone need's to make his bail lol. Poor guy can't flee to Saudi and the US isn't going to let him return to see his family to even chance him doing that. |
