Those were not the only major twitter accounts that were hacked. Acconts of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, Tron Foundation and another Chinese exchange were hacked and were seen tweeting about donating to a cryptoforheart scam.

He does not care, I reckon. He might be presently holding all his original bitcoin and has never dumped them to hold bcash hehehe.
I wouldn’t bet on that, because the force of the attack he and his partners invested during 2017 required large financial resources, and they could only get that if they sold their BTC to pump their new shitcoin. At one point they even came dangerously close to equalizing the price of BTC and BCH, and I believe they played their strongest cards then because they were confident they would succeed. In the end, they only proved that there is only one Bitcoin - and the paradox of the whole situation is that they financed the whole venture. It was a pump and dump, however. They might have used their bitcoin to pump and sold on the community and take their bitcoins back and the community's bitcoins hehehe. |

Consensys, IOHK Cardano, Tron, Polychain Capital, Zcash Electric coin company also received the PPP bail out loans. The American government should audit them where the relief funds went also hehehe.  A Texas resident has been charged by U.S. officials with using government funds from a coronavirus-related relief program to trade cryptocurrencies.
In a June 14 press statement, the Department of Justice alleged that Joshua Thomas Argires "fraudulently obtained more than $1.1 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans" by filing false applications on behalf of two companies, Texas Barbecue and Houston Landscaping. CoinDesk first covered the charges.Read in full https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/71543/texas-man-charged-with-using-coronavirus-relief-funds-to-invest-in-crypto |

Decrypt.co. Another bitcoin news media outlet being their corrupt selves again. Binance's report was only reporting what they see from the data. Binance did not name any top crypto assets. I speculate that this might be the beginning of pump and dump season hehehe. Binance just released an overview on the current state of the crypto markets.
The leading cryptocurrency exchange says the majority of Bitcoin investors are holding on tight in anticipation of a big move, but whether BTC will break out or break down remains an open question.
"Overall, cryptocurrencies delivered a mixed performance. Most large-cap cryptocurrencies delivered negative returns, while mid and small-cap cryptocurrencies such as LINK, ADA, BAT, VET, and IOST. In particular, VET had a phenomenal month, delivering more than 40% return in June.”Read in full https://dailyhodl.com/2020/07/13/binance-says-altcoins-taking-center-stage-names-five-top-crypto-assets-as-bitcoin-btc-prepares-for-big-move/ |

like this---it's purely risk-based. something like this would never hold up as evidence in a court of law. it's just a company deciding a customer is risky and refusing to do business with them. Yeah, fair point, and it kind of brings use to what we were discussing in this thread on privacy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5261956.msg54787543#msg54787543As you say, this kind of probing that Coinbase does might not hold up in a court, and yet, Coinbase use it as evidence enough to deny people service, to lock accounts, and to freeze coins. It's also the exact same kind of probing that they are licensing out to the IRS, the DEA, and now the Secret Service. Since they can't possible blacklist every coin which has ever been mixed, gambled, or is otherwise "unsavory" in their view, then their cut off for how far back they look is completely arbitrary and so easily bypassed as to make it meaningless. I guess I'm just angry that Coinbase and other centralized exchanges are appointing themselves as bitcoin police and deciding how people are and are not allowed to use their coins. That's the opposite of what bitcoin was designed for. What centralized exchanges act like the bitcoin police and what supports the free and open exchange of bitcoin? We should have this list available for the community in the exchanges subforum. |

Roger might only be testing what type of reactions the announcement might make hehehe. Similar to MMA fighter Conor Mcgregor when he announces his retirement. He might be a fan hehe.
And around the same time this was announced Bcash reached an all time low on the Bitcoin ratio. That must've had him squealing into his pillow. This is a bad time for crypto attention whoring. There's not much attention to go round. He does not care, I reckon. He might be presently holding all his original bitcoin and has never dumped them to hold bcash hehehe. |

News on Max Holloway's loss. Dana wants his trilogy for the featherweights and he might get his trilogy hehehe. It is fair for Max and his career, however. UFC chief Dana White has hinted that the judges who scored Alexander Volkanovski victorious in his fight against Max Holloway could be SACKED.
David Lethaby was the only one to score it in favour of Holloway, with MMA Fighting revealing the scorecards.
That judge gave the former featherweight champion rounds one, two and five.
The two other judges, Mark Collett and Clemens Werner, scored it for Volkanovski, both giving him the last three rounds.
In the post-fight presser, White was in no doubt who should have got the decision.
He said: “You can’t leave it to these guys. We’ve got some bad judging.Source https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/12100718/dana-white-sack-judges-ufc-fight-island-holloway-volkanovski/Also, Dana will give Khabib time to mourn his father. However, I speculate that he is telling his pet Conor to fight Justin Gaethje hehehe. The UFC brass will not be rushing Khabib Nurmagomedov’s return to the Octagon.
Nurmagomedov is the UFC lightweight champion. He’s due for a showdown with interim titleholder Justin Gaethje. Nurmagomedov was eager to get back to action and even said he could return as soon as July. Those plans changed when Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap, became ill. While Abdulmanap showed signs of improvement, he eventually passed away in a Moscow hospital due to complications from COVID-19.Source https://www.mmanews.com/ufc-giving-khabib-nurmagomedov-time-to-mourn-the-loss-of-his-father/ |

Isn't it getting a bit late for Biden to announce his VP candidate? I am not denying the fact that Hillary selected Tim Kaine only by mid-July.. but Biden may get an early spike, if he pick his VP candidate within the next 1-2 weeks. Else that advantage may go to Trump, as in his case the VP pick is already known. Anyway, I expect the announcement to come by the end of next week.
An early spike months before an election is bad. It will give the opposition time to recover. Biden's lead should be managed and the slow trending maintained until November. The Democrats do not want their candidate to be similar to a pump and dump hehehehe. In any case, this change might cause a civil war. Electoral College voters can be forced to back state popular vote winners, Supreme Court says
States can require Electoral College voters to back the victor of their state’s popular vote, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday, in a major dispute that could have an impact on November’s presidential contest.Read in full https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/06/supreme-court-electoral-college-ruling-states-can-force-electors-to-abide-by-popular-vote.html |

@DoubleEdgeEX. Will that be the Ethereum development team's statement for their Ethereum 2.0 storyboard? I predict similar hacks and theft after delays. In any case, news update. The initial stage of Ethereum 2.0 — dubbed Phase 0 — may not go live until the start of 2021, according to a researcher involved in the project.
Ethereum Foundation Justin Drake was asked during a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything session on Friday when the deployment of Phase 0 would begin. As previously reported, one of the main factors behind past launch delays was the multi-client approach being spearheaded by those involved in Phase 0's development.

I assume their blockchain analytics data analysis might begin on their own users' transactions. Where will they begin?
Well they did say they use it internally for regulatory compliance: It added: "Coinbase Analytics data is fully sourced from online, publicly available data, and does not include any personally-identifiable information for anyone, regardless of whether or not they use Coinbase. Coinbase Analytics is a blockchain analytics product that we use internally for compliance and global investigations. It's an important tool to meet our regulatory requirements and protect our customers' funds. We developed Coinbase Analytics with technology from the Neutrino acquisition." They flag users here and there, so we at least know their methodology isn't as black and white as "this batch came from a mixer, so ban." That's probably still not a good thing for users though, since it means Coinbase probably knows more about them than they think. That being said, I'm sure all the other large exchanges use an analytic service of sorts -- they're just less likely to report their findings to authorities lol. It is a conflict of interest between Coinbase and its users, I reckon. Brian Armstrong owns an exchange that sells the privacy of its users to government agencies through his own blockchain analytics company hehehe. |

@o_e_l_e_o. They were also advertised to have already developed a proven product for remittances and their own digital wallet during their ICO. I speculate they told that to everyone to avoid the classification of CAS as a security. Also, is earnbtc.cc owned by Cointelegraph? I have this source with a similar title when I created another thread about this. https://cointelegraph.com/news/hacker-stole-336-btc-from-crypto-exchange-cashaa |

It appears that many people who did not invest in cryptocoins before shall be joining the cryptospace bagholders foundation hehehe. We should welcome them and offer a gesture of consolation.

Also Coinbase hehe. I assume their blockchain analytics data analysis might begin on their own users' transactions. Where will they begin? Crypto exchange Coinbase is providing its blockchain analytics software to the U.S. Secret Service, according to a public record obtained by The Block.
The Secret Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is charged with conducting financial crime investigations in addition to protecting the nation's top leaders.
The record shows that the Secret Service awarded a four-year contract to Coinbase in May in order to use its blockchain analytics software, called Coinbase Analytics. The contract is worth $183,750 in total and ends on May 9, 2024.Source https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/71261/coinbase-is-selling-blockchain-analytics-software-to-the-us-secret-service |

This is an inspiring story of misfortune, of how the person has overcome the hardship and how bitcoin has helped him. I'm a Syrian Refugee. This Is How Bitcoin Changed My Life
Half of Syria was flooding into the Netherlands back then, and smugglers were active on the other side of Europe. I bought a small book to teach me how to pray in Islam, then started to practice my prayers and listen to the Koran. I also started listening to Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s speeches, his recitals and calls to fight alongside Hezbollah in Syria. I was surrendering to my fate of being deported to Syria or Lebanon.
Sleepless nights went by, with the Facebook pages continuously broadcasting images of the brutality of war in Syria. I did not want to be part of this.
On Sept. 11, 2014 , 500 migrants lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea attempting to cross to safe land. It was at that moment I realized how blessed I was to be in Europe, and I surrendered to the idea of becoming a refugee.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/im-a-syrian-refugee-this-is-how-bitcoin-changed-my-life |

@buwaytress. The main lesson should not apply on everything. There are many borderline cases that make bitcoin very useful hehe.
Also, the United States of America was founded by a group of people who did the most illegal shit versus the British. Treason hehehehe.

News update on Bitfinex. I have questioned this before. Is the state of New York and the New York Attorney General's office wrong on this by overreaching over the jurisdiction of their authority? Today the New York State Supreme Court’s appellate division ruled that Bitfinex will have to face New York state allegations that it hid the loss of commingled client and corporate funds. In April 2019, New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged that Bitfinex lost $850 million in client and corporate funds, and then used money from affiliated stablecoin Tether to cover the loss.
The appeals court rejected both Bitfinex’s arguments that Tether is neither a security or commodity, and that since they are not based in New York or cater to local traders, they shouldn’t be answerable to or have to produce certain documents for New York authorities. The appeals court said it has jurisdiction over its issuer.Source https://messari.io/article/bitfinex-must-face-ny-suit-over-850-million-in-lost-funds |
