I have been following the news on Steem versus Hive issue and the how those 2 projects might be presently considered failed.smooth was also considerate enough to post his own insights. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5229982.msg53991504#msg53991504In any case, this might open a space for another project similar to Steem which can be developed on Tari? /r/monero has 172k members, /r/aeon has 5.1k members, smooth has experience from being a Steem validator hehehe. |

@bigslimvdub. However, the future of the cryptospace might be on the gray market exchanges that do not require KYC. I reckon we take the chance for listing now because we are never going to find listings on the bigger exchanges.

@bigslimvdub. Did you read the article? The cryptospace is presently becoming more strictly regulated. It is speculated that some of the volume trading on the big exchanges with KYC will transfer to the smaller exchanges without KYC. We must be ready and expect this.

@Lucius. When did he make that statement mentioned in the article, however? He never admitted that it was a joke only an idiot would believe until I read the article.
Also, do you reckon that it was only a joke from the beginning? It appeared to me that he thought his own rubbish would become real hehehe.
Well he actually admitted it, unless someone wants to interpret it differently - but for me personally everything is said in this tweet :  https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1213839069681205254I would personally interpret this tweet as an indirect shilling for shitcoins. I guess McAfee already sold his soul fully to shilling shitcoins even prior to him making this tweet. Unfortunately, many shitcoin shills such as this man are doing their dirty acts at the expense of Bitcoin. These ingrate sprouts of whatever Bitcoin has achieved seem to create their significance by discrediting Bitcoin itself. I however, would interpret it as someone who knows that he has made a great fool of himself in front of millions of people. Who would follow his advice or pay him to shill shitcoins and scam tokens now? |

Hey guys check this out! Will McGregor retire for real  ?  Whether this is real or just a threat, one thing is for sure. Dana is losing talents right now. Bones then Masvidal and then now Conor? He must do a quick response if he really want to save his huge money makers lol. But sadly he is doing nothing, it seems that he is not bothered of these shocking news at all. Hmm, do you think Conor will do it or it's just his tactics to demand more from Dana. Your thoughts? Source: https://www.espn.com/mma/ufc/story/_/id/29277164No one is thoroughly retired in the sport of MMA hehehe. GSP, BJ Penn, the Dominator and other fighters have fought in the octagon again after retiring. I speculate that Conor's problem is not money. He is adrift in the lightweight division. He only wants to fight Khabib, however this requires another fight versus Tony Ferguson or Dustin Poirier or if Justin Gaethje is injured. |

Another country that had a success and controlled the coronavirus that Las Vegas can follow is Macau. It is in close proximity with China and it is the highest densely populated region in the world.
What's so good about them? Well, they are not that hard-headed and follow government policies implemented to them unlike Uncle Sam's citizen who does not and other countries that there are cases of not obeying said policies; social distancing, wearing face mask, etc. I reckon the difference is not because of stubborness. It is cultural. Also, the protests and the riots will not help the casino owners. It might pump coronavirus cases similar to an altcoin pump. The charts of each might look similar hehehehe. |

However, who creates the results of these polls? I am very skeptical. The ratings agencies were paid to rate subprime loans as AAA or AA during the 2008 housing bubble. these are the same pollsters who said trump's numbers were skyrocketing in march and early april. as discussed earlier, pollsters in the 2016 election were stuck in an elitist bubble, ignoring non-coastal cities and rural america. after their monumental failure in that election, i think they've mostly corrected for those shortcomings. and with public sentiment turning against trump, punters are turning against him too. betfair has biden at 52% and trump at 42% now. that seems to reflect the most recent polls, which suggest trump's approval rating is plunging:  there is other tangible stuff too. i mentioned earlier about how trump is alienating religious conservatives. well, he is now obviously alienating prominent republicans, who are breaking ranks in increasing numbers: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/06/us/politics/trump-biden-republicans-voters.htmlgeorge bush and mitt romney came out saying they don't support trump, colin powell (bush SOS) said he is voting for biden and made a scathing public rebuke of trump. heavyweights like ryan, boehner, and murkowski refuse to publicly say whether they will be voting for trump because they know endorsing him now is a political disaster waiting to happen. trump is goddamn dumpster fire. In any case, what is the situation on the riots in America? Is it escalating? This might be something everyone should read and think on how unpredictable the future might be. rioting has calmed down but the protests continue. many curfews have been lifted since the recent protests have been more peaceful. This might be a good chance to bet for republican as the presidential winning party hehe. There are 4 more months before we reach November. Similar to the news from 4 months ago, we have already forgotten most of those issues. It is a premature time to dismiss the republicans, I reckon. |

Another country that had a success and controlled the coronavirus that Las Vegas can follow is Macau. It is in close proximity with China and it is the highest densely populated region in the world. With a population of 48,003 people per square mile, Macau, a special administrative region of China, is the most densely populated region on earth. Until recently, the city of about 650,000 had only recorded 10 confirmed cases of people with coronavirus, all of whom recovered and were discharged from hospital. No new infections were reported in the city for more than a month.Source https://www.usnews.com/news/cities/articles/2020-03-24/macau-how-a-densely-populated-chinese-territory-is-keeping-coronavirus-at-bay |

However, who creates the results of these polls? I am very skeptical. The ratings agencies were paid to rate subprime loans as AAA or AA during the 2008 housing bubble. I reckon something similar might also be transpiring on the polling process to make it appear that the briber's candidate is trending.In any case, what is the situation on the riots in America? Is it escalating? This might be something everyone should read and think on how unpredictable the future might be. The War Powers Act of 1941, also known as the First War Powers Act, was an American emergency law that increased Federal power during World War II. The act was signed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and put into law on December 18, 1941, less than two weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The act was similar to the Departmental Reorganization Act of 1917 as it was signed shortly before the U.S. engaged in a large war and increased the powers of the president's U.S. Executive Branch.Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Act_of_1941 |

This is not a service in the cryptospace, however, the degree of cheapness of this deceit is higher hehehe. It appears Brave is not satisfied on only funneling money from the community from their ICO hehe.  Brendan Eich, founder of Brave SoftwareSo when you are using the @brave browser and type in "binance[.]us" you end up getting redirected to "binance[.]us/en?ref=35089877" - I see what you did there mates
Works for binance[.]com as wellSource https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496 |

The skeptical me thinks that the Europol is encouraging criminals to use Wasabi because it might be a honeypot. I have heard stories that the development team inject their own liquidity in the mixing process. It certainly will make mixing easier, however, it might also be considered similar to a sybil attack. Help me understand, I shake my head. Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, internally presented a two-part report on Wasabi Wallet earlier this year, primarily analyzing the wallet’s use for criminal activities.
The report went on to say that “things are not looking good,” meaning it is not easier to trace bitcoin transactions taking place via Wasabi Wallet. It is also difficult to “demix” transactions, it added.Source https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/67493/bitcoin-mixer-wasabi-wallet-under-europols-lens-for-facilitating-dark-web-transactions |

Well, well, well.... Masvidal asked for a release from UFC if he's not going to get the fight and money he wants - Disrespected’ Jorge Masvidal aligns with Jon Jones, asks for UFC releaseHe said: If I’m not worth it let me go. Why make me fight for half of what I made on my last fight because the other dude can’t draw? Don’t tell me about a pandemic when reports today show highest stock market has ever been. Everybody getting back to work and you buying an island. Stop playing us and the fans. He then went on and threw shade at anyone who'll criticize his statements Watch the company men and the UFC white knights come out and condemn my train of thought, You’ll quickly see who’s in their pockets.
Dana White's response: Anybody that doesn’t want to fight doesn’t have to fight, including Masvidal and Jon Jones and all these other guys. It doesn’t have to be because of the pandemic. These guys are independent contractors. This isn’t like the NFL where I can make you: ‘You come to practice and you do this or you’re going to get fined or you’re going to get this.’ These guys can do whatever they want. They can say whatever they want.
… We’re not begging people to fight. We’re offering fights because in our contract, I have to give you three fights a year. You have the ability to turn them down and not take them. ^ In other words, no fighter is indispensable. Unless the organization becomes unionized, UFC can still do whatever they want. I don't know about you but I think he deserves to get paid more but the timing of his demands was just off. Not at a time when the world economy is still recovering from the pandemic. Not at a time when the UFC probably spent more than ever to set up an event. Jorge Masvidal wants to be Conor McGregor hehehe. He wore a similar Versace designer robe, created his own liquor brand and also wants Conor millions hehehe. He should win versus the Nigerian Nightmare first. |

The pressure from the casino owners might be too much for the mayor of Las Vegas hehehe. However, for a populated place, the cases of the coronavirus in Nevada is lower than the others. It might be easier to control the virus with proper social distancing rules and protocols.
They should copy what New Zealand is doing, I reckon. There were no strict quarantine rules imposed, only proper guidelines were followed.

It appears that the prosecutors from New York cannot probe their way into anything on their case versus Bitfinex. I speculate that they are presently using one of the tricks they do in the movies. Include its coconspirators in the prosecution and force them to talk hehehe.  Justin Sun, present owner of PoloniexAn amended class-action lawsuit has been filed against Bitfinex, Tether, and affiliated entities for allegedly manipulating the cryptocurrency market.
Crypto exchanges Bittrex and Poloniex have been added as new defendants in the updated lawsuit, filed on June 3 in the Southern District Court of New York. The initial lawsuit was filed in October 2019.
The 156-page amended lawsuit alleges that the defendants manipulated the crypto market by fraudulently inflating prices and caused “billions of dollars of damage” to traders.
“Tether issued billions of USDT to itself with no U.S. dollar backing—simply creating the USDT out of thin air,” the filing says. “Tether hid that fact by ‘selling’ newly issued USDT to Bitfinex. [...] Because Bitfinex and Tether were essentially the same, Tether could simply transfer newly issued USDT into its account on Bitfinex without receiving U.S. dollars in exchange, as was required from genuine customers.”
The amended lawsuit further alleges that Bittrex and Poloniex were “knowing participants in the scheme,” meaning they knew that Bitfinex was transferring large amounts of unbacked USDT to their exchanges.Read in full https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/67379/amended-lawsuit-filed-against-bitfinex-and-tether-for-allegedly-manipulating-crypto-market-bittrex-and-poloniex-added-as-new-defendants |

I like the enthusiasm, but we also need to add a touch of realism. To say it " could solve Bitcoin’s privacy problem" is a tad oversimplified. It solves one aspect, but there are plenty of other privacy issues to consider as well. This Bitcoin Wiki page has enough material on the matter to keep people busy for a while. Agreed. Cryptocoin anonymity and privacy will only be as good as how large its anonymity and privacy set is. Similar to an anonymity coin as zcash, its privacy score is bad because of its very small set of shielded transactions which should begin on the exchanges, I reckon. |

@gentlemand. It is not a choice, it should be avoided. This is not good news for bitcoin or any cryptocoin similar to how some people might interpret this as an act of acceptance by the Chinese government.
This would only be another way to monitor you and the movement of your wealth by an authoritarian government and you paid them for it hehehehe.

If you read the article, then clearly you can see on what they based this speculation. They first cite the pandemic as a possible accelerator of "Bitcoin’s maturation as an asset", and then they add the story of how Grayscale is buying more new mined BTC than what is currently being produced. It’s all nicely packaged, but will one institution lead to a new ATH this year?
Tether is also mentioned in the article, and fact we have today $10 billion of USDT, compared to $4 billion in May last year. I’ve never liked the idea of someone printing digital money without them actually having real money coverage, in this case US $. It is a known fact that as far as Tether things are concerned, things are not very clean, and that a certain percentage of USDT is probably on the market without any basis for issuing it. If that means that someone will use such an asset to buy a BTC and pump up its price, and then sell it for a fiat - it is nothing but money laundering, that is, a legal replacement of the useless for the useful.
Agreed! It appears you might agree with the Big Short movie storyline for bitcoin to occur hehehe? I made a thread about it in the speculation subforum. However many of them think it was FUD despite some evidence of dishonesty on tether. |

Agreed to the person in the quote hehehe. Why not use the much more scalable and faster blockchains of Tron and EOS? However, this person might not have thought that all those scam projects were developed on Ethereum to slow it down hehehe. The blockchain wars.

@Ozero. It might be more advisable not to declare your bitcoins and sell some of your property to buy more bitcoins to hide wealth hehehe. No taxes paid and your wealth is kept from the eyes of an authoritarian government hehehe.
