@TalkStar. Trump as the Russian agent theory is fake news created by the Democrats and it remains to be unproven.

In any case, my speculation. Hillary will become the running mate of the senile Joe Biden. Biden will not finish his term and America will witness its first female president.
5582  Economy / Speculation / [NEWS] Former Bakkt CEO to Sell All Holdings After Insider Trading Accusations on: April 11, 2020, 02:40:50 AM
Are they dumping bitcoins?

This might not be a coincidence hehehe. She was also accused of dumping stocks after receiving infomation from a private hearing of a government health commitee.

Is she dumping their holdings because they know something or is she preparing to pay for lawyers fees hehehe?



Following major accusations of insider stock trading during the coronavirus-induced market crash, Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), the former CEO of Bakkt, is liquidating her holdings along with her husband.
In an April 8 tweet, Loeffler said that she and her husband Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of ICE, which is the company that owns Bitcoin (BTC) options contracts regulator Bakkt, are liquidating their holdings in managed accounts to focus on tackling the coronavirus situation.

The former CEO of Bakkt has also published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, emphasizing that her action is not caused by Senate requirements but rather a strong commitment to defeat the coronavirus.

@Lucius. I did not quote my own post. It was hv_. I quoted him with my post quoted, however. Edited hehehe.

@stompix. Bisq is closer to the definition of decentralized than the scam decentralized exchanges created on Ethereum. It was mentioned one of them would begin asking for KYC hehehe.

@bigslimvdub. It might not be a random pump. The whale is buying up to now and supporting the price hehe.

In any case, do we have a hardfork about to occur? Also, where can we find some data on Aeon's hashrate?

And Trump do have a fair chance in some of the "battleground" states, such as Florida (29 electoral votes) and Ohio (18 electoral votes).

What Trump "did" in 2016 was just amazing, if that word makes any sense. He won a) all swing states and b) won states that had a long-ish history of being won by the Democrats.

That was the entire fault of President Obama. The people were not happy with his presidency.

Also, the information on the internet may have informed them to not listen to mainstream media anymore. Mainstream media is only another type of brainwashing, or to use facebook terminology, fake news to put you on the side of the people who create and run the storyboards.

I don't think so.
Main reason why Trump won is Hillary Clinton.
She had so much issues and problems that average  people simple didn't want to vote for her.
Obama was one of the most popular US president in history.
Many fake news on social media was created by Russian in order to help Trump to win Presidential elections.

I disagree. Obama was not very popular among the people because he did not do the expected job during his terms. Hillary was only the sour icing on the cake.

Why did Trump win the independent votes and some of the blue states? The people were disappointed, I reckon.

In any case, let us wait for the announcement of Joe Biden's running mate and understand why he was chosen hehehehe. Hillary?

@eaLiTy. Dana might be doing it for the money, however, I reckon that it might not be money to make for himself. It would be for the fighters, the staff and the UFC as a company. He is company president, it is his responsibility.

Also, it will be ramadan. I speculate El Cucuy's next fight might be Conor for interim champion.

I shake my head on why this news article was ignored by everyone. Factom is one of the first ICOs created on 2014. This should be a lesson that some ICOs projects will also begin dissolution if they cannot find new sources of funding after the sales of tokens during ICO stage.

In any case, what are the ICO token projects that have the adequate funding for another 5 year roadmap?

Decentral exchanges are classified as mixers -> high risk!

Dont get average Joe to put his clean coins into for sake of criminals washing their shit!

I reckon something similar can be said on centralized exchanges also. It appears that many of the bitcoins used in the darknet are sent to them for mixing? I hope they did not give personal information hehehe.

I speculate that Dana is creating a new storyboard for Conor and Khabib where Conor might be made to fight the winner of El Cucuy versus Justin Bieber. If Conor wins the interim championship, Khabib cannot avoid him anymore.

Also, Dana might not forgive Khabib for leaving America, I reckon. He will make certain that his pet will fight the Russian this year hehehe.

Why has no one filed lawsuits on the most centralized platform in the cryptospace? Ripple. I reckon XRP is the easiest token of all to be classified as an illegal security.

The answer might be political connections hehehe.

A small commentary.

This is the type of power decentralization a real dex gives everyone as an equalizer. This is also what the people sitting on the very top do not want you to know. They want to have all this power only for themselves under the present system.



In most cases of an exchange hack, the attacker can be booted off the trading platform for good. Not so with Bisq. One of the DEX's associated developers told CoinDesk that although the flaw was fixed, there was nothing to prevent the attacker – whose identity cannot be known – from accessing and trading on the platform again.

"Anyone can use Bisq, there is no censorship," the developer said. "Just like anyone can use bitcoin, there is no way to ban someone from bitcoin."

50k usd to pump 500 % ?

i.e. less than 10 btc ?

Yes, it does not take millions of American dollars to pump Aeon hehehe. Its liquidity is so low and dry, it smells like my grandmother without her bath hehehe.

In any case, what are the rumors? @smooth?

Hi all! Please help me
I cannot run the GUI wallet   Sad

aeon-wallet-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But on the Ubuntu 18 there is only newer libpng16 already installed.
What would you do?

better ask the question on reddit.com/r/Aeon

I reckon we need an easy wallet for newbies similar to mymonero.

@jwinterm. The americanpegasus might be back with us again hehehe. She is pumping with her savings from driving on Uber hehehehe.
5595  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Did Binance just help Justin Sun take over the Steem network? on: April 08, 2020, 03:18:15 AM
@layer1gfx. Changpeng Zhao is Justin's best friend in the cryptospace. He will not list Hive on Binace, I reckon. Also, not 1 of the exchanges that has business relationships with Justin will not list them also.

In any case, I predict more Hive holders will dump Hive and return to Steem after this war. Justin is not yet finished.



Tensions between Steem (STEEM) and the Hive (HIVE) community continue to escalate, with Steem executing a soft fork to freeze up to 20 accounts owned by the network’s former witnesses.

The frozen accounts hold 17.6 million STEEM, worth approximately $3.2 million and equating to nearly 5% of Steem’s total supply.

On April 4, the soft fork was proposed in a Steemit post authored by the new account "softfork2288."
In response to the purported “uncertain threat that the leaders and main influencers of [Hive] represented to the Steem Blockchain,” the fork sanctioned roughly “no more than 20 accounts “ that meet three criteria:

“Accounts that ran the version 0.23 during the Hardfork on Steem and were still in the Top 20 rank, shortly before the Hardfork. Accounts that proxied or directly voted to more than 10 witnesses running the version 0.23 on the Steem Blockchain during the hardfork with high influence. Accounts directly associated with operating these accounts.”

@hv_. Agreed, the American government can do a lot, however, why have they not done anything to the more than 1000 cryptocoins, altcoins, scamcoins, ICO tokens and more?

I reckon a lot might only be few.

Ramping up - get them educated,... they do a lot, but they are split quite a lot SEC, CFTC, NY BitLicence, ....

And sure, they need to adjust / collude a bit with EU / ... to make  things happen global. That all takes time and is coming next 1-2 y

Many people also said that it was coming in the next 1 or 2 years on 2015. However, the next 1 or 2 years saw the biggest pumps in the cryptospace hehehe.

On 2018 - 2019, the SEC begun accepting payment as fees to continue from EOS and other ICO projects. It never came. It would only give power to the SEC to choose which projects they like to continue and which they do not like, however hehehe.
5598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is KYC bad for crypto? on: April 07, 2020, 03:21:05 AM
Yes that is the official reason why they say that every service should require KYC. However, the real reason is to monitor each person's movement. I reckon next would be to create an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict your every movement on the internet.

Also, do exchanges declare that they do not share or sell your personal documents to advertisers and other 3rd parties in their terms of service?

I don't think exchanges will be able to protect your personal information from advertisers or other third parties. They could do anything once they notice suspicious activity on your account. Centralized exchanges could easily notify the authorities against any transaction (trade) they see suspicious performed on the exchange platform itself. In the case of advertisers, central exchanges wouldn't want to miss some "extra profit" so they wouldn't care more or less sharing your personal information with them. The mere fact that KYC poses a security risk to crypto users, has a lot to tell. I know that governments want to tackle illegal activities performed on centralized exchanges, but KYC is not the way to go. Maybe there's another way to do this? After all, your ID verification documents stored on centralized exchanges' servers could be easily exposed by a hacker. Instead of submitting personally identifiable documents, governments could require exchanges to biometrically scan your fingerprint or even iris to confirm your identity. I believe it's much safer to do this than sharing your ID documents to an exchange. With WebAuthn on the works, something like this could be made possible.

Anyhow, crypto users have a variety of options to choose from if they're skeptical about KYC. There are many alternatives to existent instant exchanges (like ShapeShift), which don't require KYC. The same way, there are many decentralized exchanges that don't require KYC and are a great alternative to popular centralized exchanges on the crypto space (like Binance and Bittrex). Additionally, you can trade crypto to Fiat or vice versa in a P2P manner (in-person). The real problem is that the newcomer into crypto is not aware of these workarounds, leading him/her to submit his/her ID verification documents on a centralized exchange. As long as governments are requiring KYC on centralized exchanges, there's nothing we can do to prevent malicious actors from stealing your identity. Just my opinion Smiley

Agreed! These people who accept KYC as a standard procedure assume that giving their personal privacy is acceptable in exchange for security. They were scammed. They always end with neither hehehehe.

@tyKiwanuka. What news websites are you reading? 1.20 odds for yes is a very positive view, I reckon hehehe.

It might also be impossible because the situation is only very unpredictable. Human to animal transmission of the coronavirus might be happening everywhere.



A TIGER AT the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, and six other big cats are exhibiting symptoms consistent with the illness, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Sunday afternoon.

“It’s the first time, to our knowledge, that a [wild] animal has gotten sick from COVID-19 from a person,” says Paul Calle, chief veterinarian for the Bronx Zoo. The Malayan tiger, named Nadia, likely contracted the coronavirus from an infected—but unknown—asymptomatic zookeeper. “It’s the only thing that makes sense,” Calle says. The zoo has been closed to visitors since March 16.

But as days or weeks passes by and Trump able to find good work or solution to control the outbreak, except that he will be on the Favorites again.
Come on people. Do you seriously expect Trump to not be one of the favorites at any point of time? He will remain the favorite despite his falling approval ratings in my opinion.

I am certain that the Trump haters on this thread forgot what occured versus Hillary during the 2016 election. Trump was given worse odds on 2016 than what is given today, however, he won.
You do realize that he has messed up on a cosmic level when it comes to controlling the COVID situation in his country, don't you? Literally, everyone hates Trump these days though he will still probably be re-elected.

How has he messed up? Should you not consider that it was really China that messed up? Also, if everyone hates Trump, why do you speculate that he might win again?

I shake my head.

In any case, there are some commentaries that the Democrats are underestimating Bernie Sanders' ability to gather independent votes. Many independents who might vote for him might not vote for Biden.
