I am skeptical about this. Did Bloomberg pay for Tom Lee's services as their new source for cryptospace analyis and predictions hehehe?

Are cryptospace exchanges never liable for hacked data, stolen coins and leaked information of users? This latest information breach leaked user data that includes your physical address. The hackers know where you live!

I shake my head.


Koichiro Wada, Founder of Coincheck

Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck announced on Tuesday that it suffered a data breach, which may have leaked users’ emails and personal information.

The information includes name, registered address, birth date, phone number and selfie ID, said Coincheck. The breach affected around 200 customers who made email inquiries from May 31 to June 1, the exchange added.

As of Coincheck, the exchange has previously suffered the biggest hack in crypto's history. In January 2018, Coincheck lost nearly $500 million in digital tokens. Japan-based online brokerage firm Monex Group later acquired Coincheck for $33.5 million, and the exchange is now a licensed entity.

This might be the future for the cryptospace and Aeon's only hope to grow, I reckon. Tradeogre appears to be one of them hehe. However, we need more.

@bigslimvdub. Are there further efforts from the community to have Aeon listed in those small exchanges without KYC?

@smooth. If I email some exchanges and they look for a developer, can I tell them to email you?



Could an overbearance of regulation divide the crypto space and create a “gray” market composed of unregulated exchanges, where digital assets trade at lower prices?

At a panel at Consensus: Distributed exploring the impact of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “Travel Rule,” Bakkt President Adam White said yes.

“We are going to see a bifurcation in the crypto space,” said White. “We are going to see white crypto; we are going to see gray crypto. And those different forms of crypto will most likely trade at different prices.”

There are rumors on the internet that there might be a foreign government and leftists that is supporting a group called Antifa to organize riots across America.

I am very certain that the riots will end before November and the truth or the storyboard of a truth will be exposed. If there is some evidence or there appears to be evidence that Antifa was really funded by the leftists, I reckon the independent voters, who decides the winner, would be convinced to move right towards Trump because they want security and stability first before leftist political agendas.

I reckon that another source of information to follow if your token is safe from the SEC is the Crypto Ratings Council. This group was founded by Coinbase and other influential people in the cryptospace with political connections.

Your investment is safe if it is listed in Coinbase hehehe.

https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/general-crypto-education/supported-cryptocurrencies.html



A preliminary assessment by the Crypto Rating Council (CRC) dated mid-April found that the tokens for Tron, Nervos and Polkadot could face a higher chance of being deemed securities. However, the scores have yet to be finalized and could differ once published.

In a token rating list dated April 16 and obtained by The Block, Tron, Nervos and Polkadot were each assigned a score of 4.75 out of a possible five. According to CRC's rating framework, each coin or token is scored in a range between one and five. "A score of 1 means the Council's analysis suggests the asset has few or no characteristics consistent with treatment as an investment contract, and therefore not a security under the U.S. federal securities laws," the group's website explains. "A score of 5 means the Council’s analysis suggests that an asset has many characteristics strongly consistent with treatment as a security."

What idiot could believe such nonsense?” tweeted the 74-year-old yesterday about his lofty prediction. Who on Earth would believe that “Bitcoin, the most crippled crypto-tech,” would rise to the high price of $1 million?

McAfee, who has doubled down on his claim several times, was pulling our leg. “Wake up!” he wrote in his tweet. “If Bitcoin ever hit $1 mil, it's market cap would be greater than the GDP of the entire North American Continent.”[/i]

It looks like he's talking to himself, because no one apart from him believed his nonsense about $1 million. And when you start talking to yourself, well, maybe it's time to retire. Smiley

Agreed! Many people were already laughing at him when he tweeted his formula that he claimed to have been working for years hehehe. When everyone has witnessed that he was wrong, he calls the people that believed and trusted him idiots.

@ChiBitCTy. The government agrees with your statement hehehe.

In any case, I read this new article. This might be relevant to the thread on having anonymity and privacy without changing anything.



Chris Belcher, an independent developer whose Github’s history shows hundreds of commits across various Bitcoin-centric applications, released his new implementation proposal for CoinSwap last week.

Belcher’s approach builds on CoinSwap’s earlier solution — that of utilizing a “swap” method to conduct transactions. At the time, the framework relied on conducting transactions via an intermediate wallet instead of a direct transfer, causing wallet addresses to be “masked,” effectively.

But the protocol proved to be difficult to implement and never came to fruition, notes Belcher. A relevant Bitcointalk thread has not shown activity since 2016, meaning the project was, indeed, left abandoned.

However, the Bitcoin developer noted CoinSwap holds “great promise,” and is the “next step for on-chain bitcoin privacy.”

Meanwhile; Belcher noted the approach may look similar to the Lightning network but features several improvements over the latter. One is presenting better liquidity for users, with Belcher stating “it’s hard to imagine the Lightning Network will ever reliably” route a 200 Bitcoin transfer to any node in the Bitcoin protocol.

Who owns the first twitter Aeon account, @aeoncurrency? Americanpegas, Katiecharms?

@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.

The 3 of you might be correct. I might be watching too many movies during this quarantine hehehe. I remain skeptical, however. This law might require you under the authority of the government to KYC yourself.
5395  Bitcoin / Press / [2020-06-01] McAfee backs down from wild Bitcoin $1 million price prediction on: June 01, 2020, 01:43:10 AM
I am skeptical that this is what he thought while he was making his prediction. He was also declaring that it was based on his own math calculation that he created hehehe.

He believed in his own nonsense and he is angry at himself and at everyone who believed him.


Zac Efron to star in John Mcafee movie, King of the Jungle

It turns out that John McAfee, the eccentric billionaire who made his money from anti-virus software, was having us on all along when he predicted in 2018 that Bitcoin would reach $1 million by the end of this year. He has long maintained that, "if not, I will eat my dick on national television."

Looks like Jon Jones is going to will vacate his UFC light heavyweight title after
going up and down with UFC President Dana White publicly several times!
Would be interesting to hear reaction from all other fighters if this is confirmed.

Agreed! I also appears that Jon Jones might also be in hurting need for money. He was demanding to receive $15m from the company as mentioned by Dana on the press conference. I speculate that he wants to retire after a big fight hehehe.

Recent opinion polls show Trump trailing badly in crucial states such as Florida and Arizona. The polls may be wrong (just like the case in 2016), so I am not going to comment about them. I would still say that Trump is not getting any boost from this pandemic.

Recent movement in the markets confirm that to a certain extent Wink


Source: https://orbitexch.com/customer/sport/market/1.128151441

It's also ~4% surebet with betonline.ag (2.16 Trump at Betfair, 2.04 "The Field" at betonline), if anyone is interested.

-

Checking the odds for Arizona and Florida, Florida still seems a coin toss, while Democrats have slight advantage in Arizona:

Democrats odds: ~1.7 = ~58%
Republican odds: ~2.4 = ~42%

I speculate the riots all across America are moving the odds.

This might be a stupid hypothesis hehe, however, this might place Trump in a very desperate situation that might cause him to declare full war vs China before November instead of using the pandemic only as a leverage to secure business advantages.

@Chris. Hehe I speculate that the developers were clever in their timing on bitcoin's next halving and grin's monetary policy. Maybe everyone would finally begin to question its mining sustainability when bitcoin's reward is halved to 3.125 coins.

Also, I created a thread about it based on a report from the BIS. It was immediately argued as fud because it came from the BIS without reading the argument presented.

@gentlemand. No. Reports about Gray Scale claim that the company purchased more bitcoins than the total mined since the halving. It is assumed that some coins were purchased from other sources that are not exchanges.
