5241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are DeFi projects next on SEC's watchlist? on: July 28, 2020, 09:05:52 PM
I'm sure that if they found out that those DeFi are in violation of ther policies, for sure that they are going to be the next target, and maybe on their crosshair already. Maybe one day we will here DeFi's being sued by them, just like what they did on some IEO's and ICO's. Big money is flowing on DeFI's millions if not billions already and this is enough for SEC to take a closer look in the future.
What's wrong on defi? I think ICOs that generate funds are more prone to sec warning, but I dont see any way they could find reason to sue defi projects, they are not running any form of crowdfunding ( new defi's) on centralized platform and mostly uses dex which are decentralized.

Cause some projects are came from ICO without any affiliation to defi, then suddenly becomes a defi type of blockchain which is very suspicious. Those projects can be targeted but not all defi hosted an ICO that have some sort of violations.

This is the problem with SEC. They thought everything is under their control. One day they will be the reason why the market for crypto will crash. Because of their tight grip on it.
Maybe the keyword here is "swap contracts", if SEC deems that most Defi are operating under the pretense, then they are going to stop it just like what they did against Abra. What is Defi's poster boy right now? It's MakerDao, in which the model are very similar or mirrors share buybacks. They may have camouflage it as through auctions and burn tokens. But if SEC finds a slight evidence that this is swap contracts then I expect the unexpected for the Defi hype. Of course, it's their job, this is not about control. But I don't think that they are the reason that crypto market will crash, that's an exaggeration.

Regardless of where the fight takes place do you think it will be with a limited audience running in to a few hundred in the stadium?
If the fight happens when we are still in the pandemic? Yes, it will be only for limited audience.

I think it will be too soon for audiences to return in large numbers so television companies will make a huge profit when they sell the fight on a Pay Per View basis.
PPV will be the only options for them to make profits, if people are willing to pay $100 to even $1000 for a live gate, if if that choice is not open for the public, then obviously, PPV will generate enough money to make them decent profits.

Education is the key weapon. We need to train ourselves to spot and this kind of fake giveaways being promoted not only in Youtube, but in other social medias like Twitter and Telegram. And to help, we should report this to Youtube as well to made them aware and hope that they are going to respond by taking down that channel.

Although bitcoin has increased but for altcoin there is still a lot of red that means that the bullrun has not completely happened so what is said @nelson4lov if this pump becomes a dump there could be bloodshed against altcoin because it cannot guarantee this increase like it is back again.
To be sure with the increase in bitcoin now that has reached $10.770 can be further increased and altcoin will follow suit.
Looks like you are new to the cryptocurrency market, there is nothing surprising to see that the alt coin market is going down as the market always goes down when the bitcoin market rallies and it is not that surprising as the investors will sell of their alts to get into the bitcoin market if there is a rally and hopefully if it is the rally we are waiting for the alts is going down because of that.
I do agree, not new in the market and I have seen this kind of movements/shifts and it's obvious that investors are moving to btc from alts, specially when they see that there is already a big movement coming. Ethereum is doing good, but it seems it has face a big stumbling block right now, face a resistance wall, investors then move to btc to push to $10,800 now with almost 10% increase in the last 24 hours.

Thanks for giving us a fair warning, already reported this scam attempts. Let's see how long will Youtube going to take it down. They're already in the hot waters lately and I do hope that they remove it before we hear some newbie complaining around that they got scam by this.

They say that "impersonation is a form of flattery", but not this time though. Damn, those scammers are really monitoring this community and since as of late @efialtis has getting a lot of attention, they see this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and try to scam someone. Good thing that no one falls for it and thanks to @D__R2 for making everyone aware.

Giveaway ads on YouTube has not stopped and people are still fallen for it. This mean one thing, YouTube don't review well the ads before it is being accepted. It is a bad news for YouTube because they are being careless and make people lose money recklessly. Who would have thought ads on YouTube are published by scammers.
Yeah, notice that scammers shift to getting ads as well on Youtube, it's not that they are careless, it seems that they are really turning their backs and as if allowing these scammers to get into their platform to victimized many more victims. If there is another competition, I'm sure that Youtube will going to react fast and swift. But since there are none, they don't give a shit and let these criminals enjoy and have fun cashing their loot.

5250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs Leo Santa Cruz on: July 26, 2020, 11:26:41 PM
@bisdak40 - that's strange bro, there are a lot of questions after the fight, what is Leo wins, what belt is he going to defend? Will Davis will go up in weight or remain at 130?

I think this fight is some sort of a tune up for Davis bro, to keep him busy while waiting for this pandemic to be over. No offense to Leo's fans here but for him to win this fight is close to impossible. He maybe a volume puncher but that would change once he will be hit by those power punches of Davis and take the confidence off him. After this fight, Davis will vacate the 130 as the money fight for him is as Lightweight division. Ryan Garcia, Loma and even Linarez would be next in line for him.

Yes, that's one possibility, and I think this is a good cherry pick fight for Davis and they know that they can win this. Leo's has a good record a champion, so in paper looks like the fight is even and close. But Davis is one level high as compare to Leo. So if he wins, he will gonna call Loma or Ryan Garcia or Haney, hehehe.
And even if Leo has the height and reach advantage, he can't utilized it against a fast and very technical fighter like Davis, and the camp of Davis knows this, so the bigger guy here is Davis itself. I would like to see Davis fight Haney first, Haney have been calling Davis for sometime now, GERVONTA DAVIS RESPONDS TO DEVIN HANEY, RYAN GARCIA CALLING HIM OUT AND TERENCE CRAWFORD'S WARNING.
5251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: next target of ethereum on: July 26, 2020, 10:52:26 PM
Currently settled to $310 today, not that bad. We also have to look at how much Eth is being locked in Defi, its been hitting around $4-$5 billion, give and take and it seems Eth is following that growth as well. I like the analysis, $317 should be next target, forgot about $400 for now. There are going to be a lot of resistance moving forward for Eth, but $317-$360 will be a great achievement if the price will go and hover around that levels.

This is a big cause of concern
Quote
Prometei is unlike most mining botnets. Apart from organizing the tools by their purpose in the attack, it also features anti-detection and analysis evasion attributes.

You cannot fix something that you are not aware of working inside of your computer if you cannot trace it in your task manager then you need another tool to trace this botnet and up to date malware removal could trace this and remove there is another form of ransomware now that making around it's called Zida it's old but making a comeback now.

Yes, it is very hard for a user to trace if his system is under attack by this cryptojacking because there is no no way for you to find it out. That's why it still boils down as to how a user is educated to this kind of attacks. No sign but your machine is somewhat lagging or very slow or it is heating? Then for sure something is wrong and it could be this cryptojacking.
5253  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is $10,000 on: July 26, 2020, 07:02:39 PM
It seems that bitcoin will reach $12k very soon. Now, crypto market is green and bitcoin is leading the market. It is pumping continuously and many more are waiting to arrive. Let's see what happens in next.
Not so fast, there are a lot resistance that we need to go through before we can get to $12k. Right after reaching $10k, it is slowly going down. But it is good to see that we suddenly reach it again after months of no movement, but I wouldn't jump into conclusion that this is the start of a bull run after the block halvening. And for those who just woke up on the other parts of the globe, this is really a thing to behold, but don't get enthusiastic, we will have if this is going to be just short term runs.

hello and thanks for helping a newbie.

i am wanting to use a paper wallet to buy and spend bitcoins.

i am having a hard time trying to find good guides for this.

please help

thanks much,
david
If you wanted to use paper wallet to buy and spend bitcoin then it is not for you. If you create a paper wallet it will only have one private key and a single address. So if will defeat the purpose of having one if you are going to spend it right away. So it is meant for storing bitcoin for long term holding. I suggest you look at a better wallet for your purpose, like Electrum. And just remember to always back up your private key and your seed phrase.

Let us all put our views here. The votes give a big indication of what the general consensus is towards the fighters is but there is more to this thread than just the votes in the poll.

This fight is very popular, if we close the thread, we won't be able to discuss the updates of this fight.
Yes, keep this thread open because there are a lot of changes in the fight schedule, so at least someone is updating us all whether it could be in December in US or somewhere else. I read that Australia is being look at another location but I doubt that it will go there because of the COVID-19. And it is better that this happen in US soil, as both of them have a huge following in the States.
5256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Steve Wozniak Sues YouTube Over Twitter-Like Bitcoin Scam on: July 25, 2020, 10:36:11 PM
It's good that he is suing YouTube though but the real issue is that what will be the outcome for it?

1. He is a public figure that anyone could have access to his portrait to perpetuate such atrocities. Which means nothing
It means' everything, his images are being used to perpetuate crimes with Youtube as their platforms.

2. Does YouTube claim responsibility for all contents uploaded on its platform which I know that the only reason that they take down videos is either it outrightly failed their policy or it's reported. Now that he is suing, then he is putting them on their toes to be stricter in their policy.
Of course they should claim responsibility on everything being posted on their platform. So definitely they need to have a tougher policy about this one. If they haven't noticed, fake giveaways on their backyard are rampant and scammers and criminals are thanking them for that relax policy.
5257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything You Need to Know About Ethereum 2.0 on: July 25, 2020, 10:11:05 PM
do you think ethereum 2.0 will push the price of eth to break the ATH price ?
Currently, we have seen Ethereum breaking resistance level and now is above $300, that's already a big accomplished and could start this whole altcoin bull run. And thanks to this Ethereum 2.0 project they have. I have no doubt that if this continues, it might hit or break it's ATH late this year or early next year and we might see the whole crypto market picking up the phase and starting the bull run that we all have been waiting for. The ATH is just 4x of the current price, so it's really doable.
5258  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Current Bullish & Bearish scenario on: July 25, 2020, 09:37:02 PM
BTC Price critical support level is now $ 9000. If it is broken, the price will be dumped up to $8700-$8500. However, the key level is now 8500 $. If it is broken out it can test up to $6000.
If we touch $6000 levels it might be because of the economic situation globally and if that is the case it will take a long time for the market to recover but i am still expecting a small correction before a rally.

I have some other vision on economic crisis. Economic crisis will certainly come but then people will look for safe heaven and currently there are only two safe heavens. One is Gold and the other one is Bitcoins. I can see people will be rushing in buying bitcoin at that point of time when US dollar and other currencies will be losing their value.
For average Joe, I don't think that we are seeing bitcoin as sort of safe haven, but more of a investment to get out and preserve the value and even get more as time goes by because of inflation. Gold though has a history of being used as leverage for many years already. That's why this pandemic also bring the best of bitcoin and really test its use case, either store of value of monetary system in this current situation we have.
5259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hidden altcoin gem on: July 25, 2020, 09:07:11 PM
Literally lots of alts are making moves right now after bitcoin break past $9400. TA wise it's not that surprising. You can find 10 more coins that do +50% in a single day.

Of, and if a partnership with Paypal or something like that is true, maybe newspapers talk about it everywhere. I don't see one though. Unless you mean you can use Paypal to buy NWC, which is probably gonna happen to other coins too. Might as well said has a partnership with Amazon when you use their AWS Cloud.

That's probably true. Paypal is a giant money transferring company in this world and they really accepting Paypal balance which gave this project huge positive wave. NWC is already listed on Kucoin exchange which one of the best exchange in crypto industry also. So overall this project on hype right now. Let's see what happen next..?
If this is a hype coin, then definitely we will have to see what will going to happen. I mean we have seen so many supposedly hidden altcoin in the past that really got a price boost when they got listed or collaborated with other services and push the price. However, after that the price didn't sustained itself and never achieved the hype again. So we will see if NWC will live up to it's hype otherwise just another project to me.
5260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal are reportedly planning to bring crypto to it's users using Paxos. on: July 24, 2020, 10:31:01 PM
If an industry giant like PayPal starts exploring crypto avenue that could be a game-changer for the entire crptoverse coz that would mean that crypto has finally entered into the mainstream market which in turn will make crypto community huge.
But we have to wait for years to really see the effect of  this. It won't be any easy journey for crypto to suddenly became mainstream just because Paypal ride on the boat and join the hype train. There could be problems in the beginning, issues and complains that need to be address before people gets confidence of using Paypal or Paxos in entering crypto space. We should need more patience here before we can say that crypto has finally entered into mainstream with the help of Paypal or any other third party services out there. We still need people to understand what crypto is, and this will take some time to educate the masses because what they all know is that it is a scam or being use by criminals because this is how mainstream media portray it.
