The market is saturated with not only stable coins, also defi stable coins! This is similar to the market's saturation with ICO tokens on 2017, I reckon and this might lead to a mass extinction of altcoins.

There isn't really anything malicious here in the article though, it doesn't categorized cryptocurrency as evil either. But it was really huge to see that a browser that blocks ads and prevent tracks are themselves putting ads and tracking users using an affiliate link. Maybe it wasn't suppose to work that way? maybe there was a bug in their code?
You should read the article. The development team of Brave placed their affiliate link to profit from their users without informing them. This is a behavior similar to scammers. |

Rest in peace father. I speculate that Khabib might retire and Conor will return hehehe. Also, another terrible news. Gilbert Burns has tested for the coronavirus. Where did this virus come from? It is destroying everything. The UFC 251 main event has been derailed by the coronavirus, as Gilbert Burns has tested positive for COVID-19 and is out of his bout with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
Multiple people close to the situation informed MMA Junkie on Friday night that Burns (18-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) has been pulled from his fight with Usman (16-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC), which takes place next week in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The fight is expected to be rescheduled at a later date. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.
Burns traveled from Florida, where he trained for UFC 251, to Las Vegas. The promotion is using the city as a hub to send athletes overseas to Abu Dhabi, testing them for COVID-19 before flying out to the Middle East. Burns’ test result came back positive, as well as his brother and cornerman, Herbert Burns, and coach Greg Jones.Source https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/07/ufc-251-gilbert-burns-out-kamaru-usman-title-fight-coronavirus |

Is there a decreasing no. of nodes? I have not turned on my nodes for months honestly. I have the other one in my brother's office that ran the whole time that he did not know until the quarantines began hehehe.
@stoffu. He has Aeon on Windows. It might be his firewall, might need to run Aeon as an administrator or might need to disable the antivirus.

This is the type of act that causes everyone outside of this community to judge that everything in the cryptospace is a scam. This is very embarassing because it was reported by a mainstream website and a very deceiving act from a for privacy browser. Brendan Eich, founder of BraveBrave, the open-source browser designed to prioritize privacy by blocking third-party ads and trackers, is facing criticism from users for redirecting URLs from cryptocurrency companies to affiliate links that Brave profits from, Decrypt reported.
A Twitter user spotted the redirect when he typed “binance.us” into the Brave search bar, and the browser autocompleted it to “binance.us/en?ref=35089877.” Both URLs go to the same page, but the affiliate link at the end can be used to track users and generate income. Many websites, including Vox Media and The Verge, use affiliate links, but most are transparent about doing so.Read in full https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-affiliate-links-crypto-privacy-ceo-apology |

The Pomp forgot to mention that bitcoin is also a high volatility speculative asset that can multiply your investment by 10x. I reckon the persuasion might be 30 minutes shorter if he had begun with this hehehehe.  Anthony Pompliano, quote Bitcoin thought leader and influencer unquoteBitcoin influencer Anthony Pompliano, a co-founder and partner at Morgan Creek Digital, took part in the latest “Bill Bert Podcast,” hosted by stand-up comedians Bill Burr and Bert Kreischer, to “prattle about the fundamentals of currency, bank fugazi, and Bitcoin.”
By the end of Wednesday’s conversation, Burr—who was skeptical initially—concluded that the modern financial system is a Ponzi scheme run by banks and he is “getting Bitcoin” instead.
Explaining the advantages of Bitcoin, Pompliano noted that one of its most attractive features is its resistance to inflation. This was especially evident during the recent coronavirus pandemic, he added, when the Federal Reserve began printing US dollars at an unprecedented pace to create a safety cushion for the economy. All the while, the US national debt has hit a record of $25 trillion and the Fed’s balance sheet broke $6 trillion.Read in full https://decrypt.co/34443/bitcoin-anthony-pompliano-comedian-bill-burr

Kinda expected though that this fight will be rescheduled because of what is happening in US right now  . Lets just hope that at that time, a vaccine has been made although the minimum time frame for a new vaccine to be created is around 12-18 months so there is still a bit chance that a vaccine can't be created by December. Hoping to have a new virus by December although I'm not expecting . I am not optimistic about a vaccine created and released by December. Also, if there is a vaccine on December, I hope it will not be made in China hehehe. Do not be the test guinea pigs. |

@bigslimvdub. I reckon that we should consider listing on gray exchanges another chance. A good tactic might be to find gray exchanges where Monero is listed and try to have Aeon listed also hehehe. Do you want me to compile a list? The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is laying the groundwork for a possible assault on privacy-enhancing cryptocurrency technologies.
There are few investigative resources for tracing transactions” that move across these privacy-enhancing vectors, the IRS said, noting a recent spike in illicit privacy coin use. â€The CI Cyber Crimes program is working to get in front of this trend.
The IRS singled out the monero, zcash, dash, grin, komodo, verge and horizen privacy coins, sidechains Plasma and OmiseGo, and Layer 2 protocol networks Lightning, Raiden and Celer.Source https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/the-irs-wants-to-know-more-about-privacy-enhancing-crypto-coins-tools-2020-07-02 |

@pooya87. Was that issue not resolved after the users went through a KYC process? What did the users who had accounts deactivated and had a part of the millions frozen in Bittrex do? There should be a lawsuit.

@buwaytress. There are more whales today, however slightly poorer in amount of bitcoins held. However, very much richer in amount counted in fiat than the whales of 2016 hehehe.

It appears that Vitalik might be beginning to accustom everyone slowly on the situation before announcing of more delays. I predict an announcement this year will be mentioning no definite date for its release. Ethereum 2.0 will rely on temporary scaling measures for the next two years, says Vitalik Buterin.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said, on June 30, that the next major Ethereum upgrade will have to lean on current scaling methods for at least a couple of years, until developers finish the multi-phase project.
On Twitter, Vitalik Buterin said that ZK-rollups may become “the dominant scaling paradigm for at least a couple of years”—until the upgrade is complete.Source https://decrypt.co/34204/ethereum-2-0-will-walk-and-roll-for-two-years-before-it-can-run |

Those whales getting poorer in the title of this news article is only an exaggeration. The whales are only slightly poorer as mentioned hehe. In any case, this might be the setting that everyone is waiting for before the big pump.  For the first time since 2016, the number of Bitcoin whales—large holders who own at least 1,000 Bitcoin (over $9 million worth of the cryptocurrency)—is increasing. (OK, so maybe just less rich than before is more appropriate.)
The report added that the amount of Bitcoin held by whales was on the decline for the past five years, dropping over 22% from 6.7 million to 5.2 million, but more whales have entered the market this year and therefore it has started to increase.
And the dominance whales have in the market is also seeing its largest sustained increase since 2011. Read in full https://decrypt.co/34162/bitcoin-whales-multiplying-also-getting-poorer-report |

I speculate that Satan himself might be left shaking his head on this idea hehehe. He might become a supporter of this, however.  Alex Masmej, sold his soul to cryptospace community not SatanFrenchman Alex Masmej, 23 years old, recently raised $20,000 on Ethereum by tokenizing himself. Now he wants his investors to vote on his life choices.
His “control my life” experiment challenges token holders to tell him whether to take a run or eat only veggies.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/man-who-sells-himself-now-wants-buyers-to-control-his-life |

I'm very interested in Petr Yan vs. José Aldo fight. Based on Russian youtube videos, Yan is called one of the best strikers (but I don't agree) in his division. Aldo is a deadly muay thai. This fight gonna be non stop strikes exchange and would definitely get a fight of the night award, if there were no belt fights in the card.
You do not agree? I reckon Urijah Faber's face might disagree on your disagreement hehehe. Urijah was immediately retired after coming out of his retirement hehe. However, agreed, Petr Yan and Jose Aldo might be fight of the night. |

Not on the use case itself, this is not DeFi at fault but the project team who aren't capable of using better security features on their project, please stop making DeFi looks bad, decentralized Finance is a new use case, how team member will handle it will be different from one another
I am not making defi look bad. It is doing this by itself. Read the news, hacked cryptocoins from Ethereum might be more in total compared to hacked cryptocoins from centralized exchanges. In any case, news update. Balancer Labs will reimburse $500k to its users. Balancer Labs tweeted Tuesday that all liquidity pools affected in the $500k hack would be fully reimbursed. The firm said a community vote was taken in the regard, with the majority in favor of the decision:
After thorough discussions with the community, the Balancer Labs team decided that it will fully reimburse all the liquidity providers who lost funds in the attack of yesterday. We will also pay out the highest bug bounty available for @Hex_CapitalSource https://cryptoslate.com/defi-platform-balancer-to-reimburse-500k-in-hack-losses-community-threatens-legal-action/ |

@Carlton Banks. On your comment about Trump, does that imply that the established leaders who might also be the kingmakers, will make it a certainty that Trump will win on November? The present crisis in America might need another 4 years of a scapegoat hehehehe.

Trump mentioned something strange and this might be an indecipherable statement about the military industrial complex during his speech in Tulsa. Is he warning everyone similar to Dwight Eisenhower or is Trump a friend of them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNecDwMY_0w |

Does anyone or a website have the data on the total of how much was stolen or hacked from centralized exchanges and the total of how much was stolen from Ethereum defi, dapps, dex and smart contracts? Total Ethereum hack and theft might be more.  Image from kryptomoney.comBalancer, a non-custodial portfolio manager and automated market maker, was drained of nearly half a million dollars from a sophisticated attacker that was able to exploit a bug in deflationary token pools. They were able to borrow $23 million through a flash loan on dYdX and convert to WETH which was continuously traded in the STA/STONK pool. By draining the balance of STA, its price relative to other tokens was extremely high allowing the attacker to swap for other assets at a much cheaper price.
Unlike the DForce attack that led to $25 million being returned, this attacker took steps to shield his identity and washed all his funds through Tornado Cash. This makes it unlikely that the funds will be returned and will leave Balancer in a deficit.Source https://messari.io/article/defi-faces-another-high-profile-attack-as-balancer-loses-500k |

false alarm, it seems. i can't bother confirming the chat log---you need to sign up and confirm an email--- but apparently roger ver said this in an AMA on coinmarketcap:"The announcement was made without my knowledge or consent. The forum isn't going away." They'll go and hang on r/btc even though that place is starting to get a little ragged too.
folks in r/btc actually seemed happy at the prospect that this could boost their traffic. it's a sad state of affairs over there. 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. |

I think he's confused between government wants to "eliminate" Bitcoin and government will "eliminate" Bitcoin. But i'm sure people know government wants to eliminate something they don't like (due to various reasons) already, so this kind of news isn't really meaningful. I reckon someone should irritate Jim Rogers on social media and show him Monero. Ask him how the government might stop this hehehe.
"It's easy, all government needs to do is turn off internet connection" I reckon the politicians behind the government would have done anything or eliminate what they wanted if they knew how it can be done within the law. For so long a time, these people or the government itself do things within and without the bounds of law. While they're preaching that no one is above the law, they are actually playing on rules that apply to them alone, or on lack of it. They're simply beyond the law. They arrest people selling and using cocaine but they traffic it. They prosecute and jail people for murder but they sure eliminate others freely. And the list goes on. Here comes Bitcoin. There is no one to kill. There is no switch to turn off. There is no headquarter to put on fire. There is no neighborhood to bomb. And so forth. But if only there was, they must have already accomplished the mission. And now they're having a hard time killing this son of a bitch. But it doesn't mean they not acting on it. Similar to what you said, what will they act on? Outside the law, bomb mining farms, murder miners and assasinate developers? Also, within the law, Bitcoin is protected by the 1st amendment. |
