@Lucius, @Harlot. What are the exchanges approved by the government? In America, I speculate that one might be Coinbase. Therefore the best method to buy clean and no KYC bitcoins might be to buy them from someone who has bought them from Coinbase.
Is there a Coinbase user in the forum hehehe?

This might be a crazy speculation. However, what if the Democrats' plan is on having Joe Biden step down and then replaced by Kamala Harris to run as president?
The Democrats want their black president in 2008, their female president on 2016 and they might want their black female president combined on 2020 hehehehe.
Kamala Harris odds is on 47.90 on Cloudbet.

@ene1980. Francis Ngannou might be another hype train. It was shown once before in his fight versus Stipe and it might be shown again if Dana feeds Jon Jones to him hehe. Jon Jones has left his title in light heavyweight. Jones had been ruling the roost of the light heavyweight division in his second title reign. Throughout the UFC 252 broadcast, “Bones” had fight fans buzzing with his social media posts expressing interest in a move to heavyweight. Jones took to his Twitter account to reveal that he has informed the UFC that he’s relinquishing his 205-pound gold.
“Just got off the phone with @Ufc, today I confirm that I’m vacating the light heavyweight championship. It’s officially up for grabs. It’s been an amazing journey, sincere thank you to all my competition, Ufc and most importantly you fans.”Source https://www.mmanews.com/jon-jones-says-vacated-ufc-light-heavyweight-title/I read that today too, he mad a great play that will get him a lot of money if I interpreted it correctly. He relinquished his belt and said he is going to enjoy his vacation and not fight, which put put Dana in a spot where he does not want to be. Meaning UFC without Jones  So he forced Dana's hand that way and probably immediately got a good offer on the table for the next fight in heavyweight division Pretty intelligent play if I'm correct in my interpretation Also, Dana has a problem. A good problem hehehe! Who will fight Stipe first? Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou are his pets and Dana hates Stipe because he is not marketable. I reckon that he might let his pets fight Stipe subsequently and hope one of them wins hehe. |

Have the terrorist bitcoins seized by the American government become clean upon sequestration? I speculate that the future of public blockchain data is open for the government to label what is bad and not bad.
This might become a important issue, I reckon hehe.

Bitcoin doesn’t need an ETF to succeed further & to be honest I’ve given up hope of one being approved any time soon. Governments are afraid of bitcoin so they’re not going to do anything that’ll help it gain further adoption & credibility. I got my hopes up a lot over the years about various ETF applications & every single one has been put in the bin.
Agreed! I was only speculating on when the first one might be approved by using crypto mom's appointment as SEC commissioner as basis. I also disagree that the ETF hype is dead. It will come back again, all of you wait. @OgNasty. Hehe yes it will. It might help create most of it. |

It might also be that users will prefer dirty bitcoins because they are more available, cheaper and easier to use hehehe.
I guess it depends on which tiers emerge if this ever become a thing. There may be 'investment grade' which never leaves its custodians, then there'll be active mode which moves through exchanges and payment processors but will be easy to fall out of favour with, and then there'll be fuckhead mode which is for druggists and nonces and everyone else. If none of them can interact with each other the whole thing is going to become a crippled mess, but I expect someone to get a brutal schooling before it gains a foothold. However, when a large amount of bitcoins never leave the control of its custodians, it would open an argument that it might be failing. That is why I would also argue that grin's monetary policy might be a fix for this. |

I predict yes, there will be an ETF by 2nd quarter of 2021 with the crypto mom Hester Peirce sworn in as an SEC commisioner yesterday. I also predict that the first ETF for bitcoin approved will be the Winklevoss ETF. The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Caroline A. Crenshaw and Hester M. Peirce have been sworn into office as SEC commissioners.Read in full https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-184 |

The crypto mom has sworn in as SEC commissioner. I speculate that the American market will now begin to open up for the entrance of the cryptospace. Presently traded ICOs, Ripple, Stellar and all others that could have been labeled as illegal securities have presently become very safe investments I reckon hehehe. The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Caroline A. Crenshaw and Hester M. Peirce have been sworn into office as SEC commissioners.
Ms. Crenshaw and Ms. Peirce were both unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 6, 2020.
"On behalf of all my colleagues, I am pleased to congratulate Caroline and Hester on being sworn in as SEC commissioners," said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton. "Caroline brings to the Commission a deep knowledge of the SEC and its work on behalf of America’s investors and I look forward to seeing her expertise further benefit the Commission's work. As a Commissioner, Hester has been a tremendous advocate for our markets and investors, and I know she will continue to be a strong voice for them in the years to come."Source https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-184 |

Kamala Harris has been chosen by Biden to be his vice president. She is not running for president. However, the quest for the first female president is real. 2016 showed this and it has been speculated that there is a small group among the Democrats that know Biden might not finish his term because of his age and mental health. That was why they have made sure to pick a female who also belongs to a minority. |

It appears that Dana has created a new storyboard for his other pet Daniel Cormier hehe. He said that Daniel had an eye problem before the fight that might have compromised his performance. He also said that he reckons Daniel might not retire after the loss.
Also, Khabib has said that his next opponent after Justin Gaethje would be anyone who wins versus Dustin Poirier. I speculate Dana now is calling his main pet Conor McGregor to rematch Dustin hehehehe.

They cannot enforce it on the blockchain, however, my question is how good are the blockchain analytics companies today in producing an analysis on coins after mixing or coinjoins? Having read the court documents I linked above, there is no mention anywhere about the terrorists attempting to mix, coinjoin, or otherwise obfuscate their coins in this case. A number of addresses were identified as they were openly soliciting donations to these addresses, these addresses tended to consolidate the donations to one central address, and then that central address sent directly to exchanges and gift card sellers. I reckon not yet from those addresses. However, it would also be very naive to assume that no terrorist has mixed or coinjoined their coins before. The concern is on the innocent users who only want privacy through mixing. The blockchain analytics companies might wrongfully mark or just assume that their addresses as part of the terrorists's address. |

Some people have mentioned before, a large part of the cryptospace's future for trading and commerce will be in grey market exchanges and services. It might also be that users will prefer dirty bitcoins because they are more available, cheaper and easier to use hehehe.

@cryptoaddictchie. Many of them are comedies. Look at the list.
Also, I am not telling everyone that the concept of Defi is comedy. I am only telling everyone that the implementations of Defi are weak, buggy and exploitable. Is this the future of finance?
In any case, everyone should also remember that Defi needs a centralized organization to act as an oracle. This is the same type of trust that you are putting on financial institutions and companies and without the government to protect you and make the people behind the Defi project accountable.
This is a very bad situation for the user.

So unless ISIS et all have been using Coinbase or exchanges regulated by the US, how exactly does the DOJ attempt to seize private keys from these organisations? Waterboard their Ledgers? Find it hard to believe most of the addresses were stored on exchanges. I saw the Hamas site asking for donations and they were NOT using exchange wallets. I think these Telegram channels aren't actually associated with the orgs, and just scammers. Then again, maybe people aren't as smart as they're supposed to be.
They cannot enforce it on the blockchain, however, my question is how good are the blockchain analytics companies today in producing an analysis on coins after mixing or coinjoins? I reckon that this might become disadvantageous to innocent users. The government has a history of accusing innocent people only to report a result and close the case. |

@cryptoaddictchie. I am not talking about the scams on the market and how we are manipulated to lose our investments. This thread is about hacks and exploits because of developer incompetence.
Is this really the future of finance? This is the comedy of the cryptospace.

@Ronnie. Refreshing the page worked, thank you. There are odds there for other sports that did not show before. It might be a bug on Android phones.
In any case, no new offerings for entertainment betting hehehe?

How good are blockchain analytics companies in analyzing coinjoins and mixing presently? Can they follow outputs after a mix or a coinjoin? This might be a concern for regular users, I reckon. I am quite certain blockchain analytics companies do not have 99% batting average hehe. There are services and institutions in this world that should not have a 1% or .01% error. Airline pilots, the police and the judicial system are examples.  Image from risetopeace.orgThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the “largest ever seizure of terrorist organizations’ cryptocurrency accounts” on Thursday, including “millions of dollars” and 300 crypto accounts.
In a press release Thursday, the DOJ announced it had investigated and dismantled “three terrorist financing cyber-enabled campaigns” involving al-Qaeda, Hamas and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
Legal documents filed Thursday show the DOJ is trying to seize bitcoin from 155 addresses it alleges were used by Al Qaeda to fund terrorism and arrest two individuals allegedly involved with facilitating crypto transfers for Hamas.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/us-prosecutors-attempt-to-seize-bitcoin-allegedly-tied-to-al-qaeda |

I think many people today are a little embarrassed by the statements they have made in the past about Bitcoin and may learn something from this experience. If you don't understand something and you don't have enough knowledge about it, it's better not to even comment on it, because sooner or later that statement may seem very strange, to say the least. The specific statement even mentions the collapse of online gambling, and it seems to me that it is a very profitable industry today - especially when people cannot visit physical casinos.
Now we can only wonder who is next on the list of those who will change their minds when it comes to Bitcoin.
Also, his statement about online gambling is also wrong. It is still an industry that earns billions of dollars every year so I do not know what he was telling everyone. He might also have invested in online gambling stocks hehehehe. |

@Ronnie. Sometimes bet offerings take longer to appear on the screen. I was looking for United States election betting where it was saying that there were no competitions available, however, 30 minutes later it appeared.
Did you begin to offer it only this hour hehehe?
