@estenity. That might only be another false flag, I reckon.
I speculate that the hackers were there for months and already gathering intelligence. After getting what they wanted they used cryptoforhealth as their warning to let someone know that they have gotten the information they wanted.
I am quite certain that this is not a bitcoin scam hack.

What centralized exchanges act like the bitcoin police and what supports the free and open exchange of bitcoin?
I can't answer that since I don't have an intimate knowledge with all centralized exchanges, particularly since I don't use a single one. Although as figment points out above they are simply operating within a legal framework which has been imposed on them, I would still argue that any exchange which will lock your account for how you spend your own money is not an exchange we should be supporting. At some point all centralized exchanges could be forced to comply with various laws and regulations, and police your deposits and withdrawals. The only way to avoid this altogether is to avoid centralized exchanges. What exchanges are operating under a jurisdiction with a legal framework that supports and protects a free and open exchange or with less strict policies? Exchanges licensed in Malta or Switzerland? |

The cryptoforhealth scam might only be a false flag as mentioned in another thread. A major hack like this that bypassed 2FA and the hackers only wanted to scam Twitter users to get bitcoin? We should not be so naive. |

@STT. That is only clickbait to sell her book hehe. In any case, the major hacks on the blue check accounts on Twitter and Trump's new executive order on Hong Kong's normalization might not be a coincidence. This gives Trump emergency powers to block anyone in America to invest in Chinese companies or deal with them. Source https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidents-executive-order-hong-kong-normalization/I reckon that the setting for war is ready. I speculate that the beginning might occur before November. |

Help me understand this. Will this partnership help retirees to buy and sell bitcoin under the trading strategies of Fidelity's experts? They cannot expect old grandma to do it by herself. Pump and dump with retiree funds?  Crypto custodian Kingdom Trust is offering customers bitcoin cold storage from Fidelity Digital Assets.
The storage will be offered on Kingdom Trust’s Choice retirement account, a hybrid self-service retirement platform where investors can buy, sell or hold stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital assets in one tax-advantaged account.
Kingdom Trust CEO Ryan Radloff hopes the partnership with Fidelity will nudge the investment giant closer to serving retail crypto investors.
“I think having Fidelity grow is so important for bitcoin and the market’s maturity that I’m willing to sacrifice a few basis points of margin for that,” Radloff said of the new business arrangement. “We think this is meaningful for a lot of people that already have Fidelity retirement accounts but have really been waiting for Fidelity Digital Assets’ mandate to mature from just an institutional one to institutional and retail.”Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/fidelity-digital-assets-to-custody-bitcoin-in-kingdom-trust-retirement-accounts |

I speculate that all the mainstream news media and bitcoin news media reports about this major hack have not covered the agenda of this attack. This is not only a normal hack to scam bitcoin from Twitter users. This might be a political attack supported by an intelligence agency.
Blue check accounts of business CEOs, politicians, journalists, human rights supporters and many others were the targets. The data in the private messages of those accounts might be very valuable hehehe.

Yes, they will be using load management on him again hehehe. The cases in Florida are pumping, what is the chance that there might be another shutdown there? |

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.
Hehe, that's nice one. I did not think of that. But would Conor accept Gaethje ? Is he really planning or wants to fight ? He trains all the time, but maybe just to be in shape. Something strange happens with UFC champions. Khabib fought almost a year ago, Cejudo retired, lots of controversies with Jon Jones, Adesanya showed boring fight against Romero. Looks like they want to keep belt as long as possible, avoid defences or finish career with a belt. Conor's only mission presently is to rematch Khabib. However, he can only do that if he holds the lightweight interim championship. |

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 |
