Lol, bitcoin has existed for the last ten years and even though there are attempts to stop it, somehow bitcoin survived so I doubt that we will go instinct in the next ten years. For me that is the critical because it's the formative stage of it, and ever if did survived (which we did), then there's no stopping it.

Maybe you can also include this bitcoin obituaries?  https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

And pretty much all your questions has been answered already, Satoshi left us, just imagine that, the creator suddenly disappear but his invention lives on. Are there more challenging than that?

I wouldn't actually call this support though, he is just voicing his opinion on the subject here. And you know what? Libra has hired someone to lobbyist for them and I'm sure this is the result of such move from Facebook. So we might see some Congressman out there changing their tunes or still some of them are against Libra because they are afraid of the power that Facebook can have in the future.

There's no backing from Mark Z, he is all out and wanted his project to be on production next year, regardless of US government opposition or some of their partners deciding to leave them at this time.

Well boxing is a big business, with so many promoters/personalities around that's why we can't see the best fighting the best as compare to UFC. Canelo could be one boxers as well to rise to the rank as boxing cash cow.

@bisdak40 - that's how Arum's build this empire and he can stop politicizing boxing if he is well rewarded like what they did on Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather.

Probably whales, or some miners moving their wealth around and check some and yes, it is still intact so obviously it hasn't been sold off yet. Maybe he is a long term holder for all we known. There has been reported that huge amount of bitcoin is moving around the crypto sphere and it really cost less money as compare to other payment methods and this is bitcoin's advantage.

The only thing that I don't like this being in the media though is that most of the time they exaggerate the movement as if someone is manipulating the price behind.

He will be countered by Crawford all day long when he tries to go closer.Yes, I would agree that it will be a similar fight to Gamboa and we all know what happens to that fight. Gamboa being so aggressive and thought that he can just steam rolled Crawford that time that he keeps on coming on.

But Crawford was just countering him with left hooks and Crawford won the fight knocking down Gamboa three times and exposing him, and giving Gamboa his first lost.

Never heard of this exchange platform before. But if you are looking for a successful platform, you just don't look at the number of registered accounts. You also have to see how liquid that exchange is. Obviously with referral or affiliate programs being offered, many are going to try their best to sign up as many as they can.

But liquidity is different though, are there any real trading going on? What are the trading pairs? How many? What about fake volumes and wash trading?

I guess I have to agree though, STO is also dead like ICO. In 2018 there was so much hype about STO and touted to be the next investment vehicle, sadly though, it is not the case so it did see the same faith as most of the ICO that time.

With that said, I won't even go near that STO token though, unless you really wanted to loss your money in a worthless investments. Everyone here should be mature enough and not ask for advises, just simply do your own research (DYOR) and see how it goes.

Isn't it that there are people people that even predicts that bitcoin will hit that level or below? So I'm not surprised by this news because we have members here who have predicted it as well.

I would agree that we don't want the price to go that low, after hitting $13k in June and now we are in the position that the price will significantly go as low as $6k-$7k. But we can't really stop that happening, but I believed that it could be a normal flow and let's look at the bright side and take the opportunity to accumulate again.

I never heard of Kavaliauskas before, but in paper he has an impressive records, highlights here:

Looks like this guys is on pure offense, coming forward fighter and this is perfect for Crawford. Really good job from Top Rank because this is a tailor made for Crawford and he will really look good in this fight. Remember style makes fight so I think this is an easy fight for Bud.

And then they are getting caught by the authorities one by one. And then we have fiat being used by cyber criminals as well. So it's going to cyclical, but I wouldn't call it a flaw, in the first place it was not design by Satoshi to be exploited as such.

I guess this is just part and parcel of bitcoin, others might find in very useful as mode of payment, store of value and investments assets. But on the other hands, bad actors had bad intent. But we can't really blame it to bitcoin, blame the system that we have.

I wouldn't say its damage control, damage has been done and it is beyond repair, most of it's big partners opt to drop out from doing business with them meaning some internal rift has been happening before their released. And this kind of statement won't affect them positively in any form.

Perhaps this is David Marcus, personally opinion and should not be reflective of Libra. It's going to be a uphill battle for them so let's see how they are going to face this backlash.

I guess the consensus is that they are not good coins to invest with specially if the people behind those projects wanted to list it on a shitty exchange. Indication that they might not be serious about listing them on top exchanges or at least a mid tier exchanges.

So just be careful though, you might swim on a water that you can't get out. So stay away and DYOR on our coins that has potential, best of luck in your decision.

Lol, and what do you know? Those two exchanges has been getting a lot of attentions lately as they occupy the top 1 and 2 spots in the last week or so.

But then again, this sort of investigations and accusations pops up and telling us that shady people are behind so obviously same shady tactics have been implement to push their ranking on the top spot, but the prying eyes of this community is more intelligent than those people behind and they are exposed big time.

I will just repeat what I have been saying about institutional investors, they have been in the market ever since, perhaps we really didn't notice it because we are in a bull run in 2017. But it's pretty obvious that they have been inside longer than anyone think of.

And this report reinforcement my belief, that this phenomena although not that evident because they maybe fronting some hedge fund company to buy for them, but they are definitely in the crypto scene as early as 2015-2016.

We really don't know what the future holds, there might be one coin in the future that will challenge bitcoin's dominant or bitcoin will remain as the most recognisable and it is being used by the masses. Technically it's not going to be extinct, as we haven't reach the 21 million supply.

But for the sake or argument, we have seen some competition coming from ETH (Flippening) and XRP (Rippening) but it was not that successful.

You can't really tell that a bull or a bear will stay on that group forever. Because this is one way to lose money here. Wise speculators knows how to adjust their trading strategy, of course we all wanted to be bulls here, but remember that the price won't go on a parabolic rise. At certain point the bubble that forms are going to be burst.

So I will tell that I'm not neither, I just react to the market situations and what it can bring to me to make money in either bulls/bears scenario.

Did you just contradict yourself here? You say we never know if Manny has still power and speed?

And then you posted some youtube you found that shows how good Manny is in dismantling Thurman?

A fighter is good as his last fight, and based on Manny's last performance against Thurman, obviously he still has the power, (knocking Thurman in the first round, and then hitting him with body punches that hurt Thurman in the mids to late rounds). Maybe he slows down a bit, but it is still quite impressive as compare to the bunch of welterweights today.

I think the OP is asking how accurate that statement from merkle saying that crypto are not going to be converted to fiat. So far I haven't found any statement from UNICEF, it just states that they are going to accept crypto as donations.

But I would tend to agree that it's good to hear that such big organisations such as UNICEF started to accept crypto, maybe who knows, NGO's or other world governing organisations would start to accept crypto as well because of this precedent.

I don't know what are we achieving though? I guess bitcoin shouldn't be compare to any fiat payment systems out there. It is one of a kind that's why I don't understand when people saying that bitcoin is this or bitcoin will overtake that, etc. etc.

Let's say bitcoin maintained it's position as the dominant coin and see how it goes for being used as payment system in the next ten years. And for the sake of argument, it did overtake Paypal then good, then what?

It looks like he wanted speed in the rematch and maybe he thinks that he can be faster if he can lose that extra weight. You can call it a perfect strategy for his in the first fight because Joshua didn't expect that Ruiz can take his punch. But it seems that in the second fight, Ruiz also did some adjustments as well to counter what Joshua will do in this rematch.

It's more than that I would say, most of the time the fighter losses if he doesn't have the heart, just like what Joshua shows in the first fight. Once he was knock down in the third round, it seems to be he surrendered already. If Ruiz losses here, I wouldn't say because he was lighter or thinner, but because, maybe because Joshua was more hungrier.
