@Yogee. Casual fan's observation here. I reckon that it was the Heat not giving their 100% for this game in order to give 100% on game 4 and 5.

+6.5 for the Heat next will be a good bet hehehehe.
Easing up in game 3 to prepare for the next game does not makes sense from a player's point of view. Why waste energy?
If you are talking from a gambling perspective, maybe there's some truth to that. I don't think we need to go deeper hehe.
What sportsbook is giving +6.5 odds?

I was only speculating that might be the spread after the result of game 3 hehe. The sportsbooks predicted it similar to games 1 and 2, however. The Heat might be back to their old self after that exhale.

@zasad@. Someone should teach the hacker about cryptonote coins hehe.

In any case, this is not a Defi hack article, however, this is also very questionable. It promises that its token's price floor only rises because of the magic of their taxation event.

I reckon paycoin had also a similar promise. The scam did not end very well for them.


Price floor: The price floor increases with every taxation event. This is the lowest possible price the contract will exchange TRIB for mUSD. The mUSD is sent to mStable’s saving contract where it continuously generates interest. As more and more sellers and buyers transact with the protocol, the price floor perpetually moves up. As long as there is buying and selling to the contract, it is impossible for the price floor not to go up over time. While many tokens out there can (and probably will) go to zero, that will be impossible with TRIB — it will have interest bearing capital permanently locked into the protocol.

4983  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Judge Orders Bitfinex to Turn Over Tether Loan Documents (Again) on: September 21, 2020, 01:59:22 AM
It's one of those cases where you want both sides to lose, heh.

I don't doubt the Attorney General's office are basically grasping in the dark, have no idea what they're actually looking for and probably wouldn't recognise it if they found it.  But at the same time, it's right that they should be suspicious of Bitfinex, who have been excessively furtive and rather shady in their dealings around the supposed "fully backed" nature of Tether.  It would be genuinely astounding to me if it turns out they really do have $14 billion USD in reserve, but something tells me they're never going to attempt to prove that's the case.  Last I heard of this ongoing farce, they'd amended their T&Cs to state that other assets may be used to back Tether, but didn't go into much further detail about what those assets might be.

I'll take this opportunity to give the usual reminder that people should only have funds on exchanges that they can afford to lose, particularly in the case of Bitfinex at the moment.  Also, if anyone currently has large sums stored in USDT, consider hedging with some other stablecoins (although, personally, they all sound as scammy and dangerous as each other to me, so I don't actually recommend holding any of them).

However, if you knew the conclusion of Bitfinex losing this case, you would want them to win hehe. Their loss might cause the big short of bitcoin.

Many of the exchanges in the cryptospace are using USDT on high volume, I reckon if the rug is pulled, all the liquidity is pulled.

@ralle14. Agreed. There was also another first down that they certainly could have gotten in the 4th quarter. However, the rookie Herbert made a throw near the endzone and was intercepted.

I am happy, however hehe. The Chiefs victory completed my parlay.

@7788bitcoin. Agreed! We have already witnessed Dana's minions overhype many of these young fighters similar to cryptocoin pumpers hyping their scams hehehe. There was Brunson, Ed Shabayzan, Jonny Walker and now Khamzat Chimaev.

I am quite certain there are a few more.
4987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: September 19, 2020, 05:09:51 AM
@everyone. Aeon support and resistance range is on 3000 sats and 10k sats. This is a wide accumulation range, however, when the bear market has ended, Aeon can certainly pump to 50k sats very easily.

I am only speculating hehehe.
is there any strong fundamentals that will support the price of AEON pump to 50k satoshi? or just read from the chart ?,
I see in coinmarketcap AEON prices have gone up 5x from the beginning until now

I cannot say strong. However, the cosebase is presently stable after the rebase and it is maintained by 2 good developers. Monero developer smooth and Monero research lab member stoffu.

FYI, smooth hasn’t made a single commit to aeon since 2016 when stoffu made his first commits. Just saying that smooth does not technically maintain anything. He merges commits from
Stoffu.

Yes, sorry. However smooth has been an asset on the project's longterm vision and what Aeon presently should be and where it should be in the future.
4988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC offered a 625K bounty for a tool to track LN and Monero on: September 19, 2020, 03:16:54 AM
According to your wise analysis, on what percentage of possibility will this bounty, paid for by the American tax payers, create a successful tool to trace transactions in Monero? Is it high?

Even if someone is able to do that (tracing), SEC/FBI won't get anything in return. The vast majority of the transactions in dark market still uses either BTC or ETH. And exchange liquidity with XMR is so low, that most of the trade is occurring outside the exchanges. Let's assume that SEC manages to trace a few XMR transactions. The users are then going to move to another anonymous coin, such as Veil or Deep Onion. I would advise the SEC to spend that money on something which is more productive.

I cannot assume the unassumable hehehe.

I reckon anyone who has been in the cryptospace for long enough know that Monero is the only legitimate anonymous coin. I do not know about Veil or Deep Onion, however, most of the other anonymous coins' privacy and anonymity claims are weak.

Also comedy news hehehehe.


Per its Wednesday additions to its list of sanctioned individuals, the United States Treasury Department is targeting Monero (XMR) addresses.

Russian nationals Dmitriy Karasavidi and Danil Potekhin have become the newest names on the specially designated nationals list. According to the Treasury’s announcement on the subject, the two engineered an elaborate phishing campaign targeting U.S. citizens in 2017 and 2018.

Both parties had a number of cryptocurrency addresses including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), as well as Zcash (ZEC) and Litecoin (LTC). Surprisingly, Karasavidi’s information includes a Monero address: 5be5543ff73456ab9f2d207887e2af87322c651ea1a873c5b25b7ffae456c320.

Given Monero's famous built-in privacy features, this is a huge step for sanctions. Unfortunately for the Treasury, that XMR "address" is not an address at all, but rather a payment ID.

@Kakmakr. I am skeptical about this official story as the real story. This was a sophisticated hack that appeared to be a warning disguised as a bitcoin donation scam.

I speculate that there might be a suppression of there larger issue. Am I watching too much movies hehhe?
4990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 18, 2020, 03:05:42 AM
@NBA experts in this thread, do you think that Miami can beat Lebron and Anthony Davies' Lakers in a best of 7 series? I was not convinced, however I am slowly being convinced after the Heat beat Celtics from being the losng team in game 2 hehe.
4991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 18, 2020, 01:07:34 AM
@tyKiwanuka. It appears those odds were not right. It should be Browns -10.5 or a little more hehehe. The Bengals defense is very bad, Browns defense is on point and with a talented offense.

It was also not a humiliation against the Ravens because they have the best team in the NFL. The outcome was expected.

4992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 18, 2020, 12:42:11 AM
Eastern conference betting plan from a casual fan. Game 2 Celtics moneyline, game 3 Miami Heat moneyline, game 4 Celtics moneyline, game 5 Miami Heat moneyline then game 6 Celtics moneyline hehe.

Game 7, I will betting on the points under. I am quite certain both of those teams will be tired.
4993  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken is launching a crypto bank! on: September 18, 2020, 12:20:15 AM
This might also be the beginning of bitcoin transforming to a banker's coin.
That wont happen because of the mining algorithm of bitcoin being POW. Biggest hodlers cannot influence or take centralized control over the coin.

I did not try to say it that way when I said banker's coin. I was only speculating that bitcoin might be regulated to please the banks and cause it to become lesser than what it was created to be.

I tried betting on tennis yesterday and I lost all bets hehe. However, from my casual eye, I noticed that the Italians were winning against the players who are favored to win. This might not be a coincidence, I reckon. Italian mafia?

I am looking for something to blame for my losses hehehehe.
4995  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-09-12]Researcher kept a Bitcoin bug secret for 2 years to prevent attacks on: September 17, 2020, 04:39:54 AM
This is very old news and the bug was fixed already. What is the writer of the article doing by putting this back on the surface again? I am skeptical, however, I do speculate that there are people behind this.
4996  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken is launching a crypto bank! on: September 17, 2020, 03:27:23 AM
I am not as positive on this news as some people might be. I am happy as an investor because it might be a positive on the price, however, this appears something very ironic for me.

This might also be the beginning of bitcoin transforming to a banker's coin.
4997  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance is sued by Japanese crypto exchange Fisco on: September 17, 2020, 02:06:15 AM
Agreed. However, does this solve the issue? The skeptical me speculates that some exchanges help some criminal organizations launder their dirty money for cleaning. HSBC and other banks do it, I reckon cryptocoin exchanges have also been doing it.

I mean, there even used to be exchanges created solely for that purpose, so I wouldn't be at all surprised. Capital controls evasion is another major incentive.

I was not only speculating about capital controls evasion. There are also the Chinese triads and the corrupt people in the communist party of China who want to launder wealth.

I also speculate that one of their most favorite cryptocoins to use is Litecoin. It has low development, only a small community but the volume is very high in Chinese exchanges.
4998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 16, 2020, 03:46:48 AM
The Clippers are out of the playoffs! I am praying that the Nuggets will give the Lakers a very tiring series hehehe.
4999  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance is sued by Japanese crypto exchange Fisco on: September 16, 2020, 01:51:18 AM
Things like that is probably why eventually even Binance will require everyone without exceptions to undergo KYC verification.

Agreed. However, does this solve the issue? The skeptical me speculates that some exchanges help some criminal organizations launder their dirty money for cleaning. HSBC and other banks do it, I reckon cryptocoin exchanges have also been doing it.

Maybe because Apple reckons that Defi are similar to risky gambling games and scams? They are exploitable and might also be illegal.

Coinbase CEO blasts Apple’s “restrictive” policies towards crypto and DeFi

Armstrong started off by noting, “Why would Apple want to prevent people from earning money during a recession? They seem to not be ok with it if it uses cryptocurrency. This is what our Coinbase Earn product does.” He was referring to the broader burrowing and lending market in the crypto space, one that was gained prominence in recent months across both centralized players and “DeFi” protocols like Curve and Yearn Finance.
