Some readers might easily interpret this as good news because the investors are increasing, however, this is making it easier for the government to get 1 million bitcoins under their control. The government has a history of shortcutting the system to do what they want.  San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase could soon hold over 1 million bitcoin on its cold wallets, showing bitcoiners are still storing funds on trading platforms en masse.
According to a report published by data source Longhash, Coinbase’s cold wallets contained roughly 970,000 BTC, worth about $8 billion, at the beginning of this year. A graph shared with Longhash’s readers shows that the exchange’s bitcoin holdings have been growing steadily.
In comparison, the bitcoin holdings of other cryptocurrency exchanges’ bitcoin holdings haven’t grown exponentially last year, with no other trading platform having over 250,000 BTC in cold storage.Read in full https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2020/01/8-5-billion-coinbase-s-bitcoin-holdings-could-surpass-1-million-btc-next-month-report/ |

This is true if this community really wants to embrace bitcoin's application to bank the unbanked. Elon Musk did not consider how regulators are making up for lost time, however. Criminals might have moved from bitcoin to anonymous altcoins. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is clarifying his thoughts on Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency. In a new interview on the Third Row Tesla Podcast, Musk says he’s neither an advocate nor a critic of the emerging technology.
“I’m neither here nor there on Bitcoin… I thought [the Bitcoin whitepaper] was pretty clever.”
Musk says crypto supporters should acknowledge a hot button issue – that digital assets are used for illicit as well as legitimate purposes.Source https://dailyhodl.com/2020/01/23/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-blasts-the-one-thing-that-gets-crypto-people-angry/ |

@Ronnie. The movie 1917 is not included in your best picture and best original screenplay categories on Cloudbet hehe. Also, will you also offer other minor categories like best in sound editing and best in cinematography?
Good catch, have reported that and asked about whether we'll add the minor awards. Current Oscars odds here for those who like a bet on the Academy Awards. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood getting a lot of love in the market. Saw that movie, and to be honest am baffled as to what the fuss is about. 150 mins of not much happening then 10 mins of intense action. Just my humble opinion.  It appears my bet has presently become the favorite. 1917. Nitrogensports has also begun offering the odds for the minor categories. In any case, will Cloudbet do an analysis and prediction article similar to what you wrote for the Game of Thrones? We already are making our predictions in the Oscars 2020 thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217702.0 |

@Cryptotourist. It appears that you might be correct, it might not go on the awaited $0.50 price. Also, Grin's monetary policy might also be working! It is almost very stable staying on or near $1.00 similar to USDT hhehehe.

Someone should inform Peter Schiff, it appears that Bitfinex is also the first to provide the cryptospace of an easy access to invest in one of the oldest store of value in history. Gold hehe. There will not be a proof of audit, however hehehe. Tether Gold "represents ownership of one troy fine ounce of physical gold on a specific gold bar," a press release said Thursday. The new stablecoins, with the XAU₮ ticker, will be issued on ethereum and tron as ERC-20 and TRC20 tokens.
"Tether Gold is launching in response to the growing demand for a digital asset that provides exposure to the world's most enduring asset and a geopolitical need for an alternative financial system," a spokesperson said in an email.Source https://www.coindesk.com/tether-says-its-newest-stablecoin-is-backed-by-gold-in-swiss-vault |

Exchange hack is a black box, we cannot judge all reports as real because many companies report hacking to cover up losses or is an administrative problem from one of the company’s managers.
Therefore, when classifying cases of possible hacks that were the result of technological weakness, we find few compared to false reports, an attempt to steal clients ’money, bankruptcy coverage, mismanagement, etc.
Also, it is up to the governments and agencies that have provided you with the legal papers to monitor them.
I very much agree! However it does not change the premise that there will be stricter regulations imposed on the cryptospace in the name of safety and security. However, we know what it really is. To tame and control hehehehee. |

i have just watched jojo rabbit last night and it is a good movie but i dont think they are getting any awards on those main category .
i think still Joker star and Leonardo de Caprio will battle for the best actor award and best movie as well.
but also the IrishMan will get some awards .
Agreed on Jojo Rabbit, good funny movie! It might win best costume design, I reckon, which is giving good odds on 11.00 hehehe. The new categories are already on Nitrogensports. https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/specials/academy-awardsBest visual effects might be an easy decision. Avengers: Endgame on 2.20. Another is best original score. 1917 on 3.75. The feeling was similar to The Dark Knight, Sicario, Inception. Joker is the favorite, however, it did not give an impactful experience as 1917's musical soundtrack. |

I reckon this should be an important chart to follow for the next 5 years to observe if exchanges have improved security. I speculate that regulators might use it against the cryptospace to take away licenses from the exchanges we know and give them to the banks which was what the cryptospace was supposed to take power from. Also, more strict regulations limiting the cryptospace to qualified investors similar to hedgefunds.  Hackers are getting more sophisticated, breaching a greater number of crypto exchanges in 2019 compared to the previous year.
Chainalysis has published an initial overview of its 2020 Crypto Crime report. It indicates that exchange attackers are becoming more sophisticated and carrying out more hacks compared to 2018. However, the total value of funds stolen in 2019 decreased compared to the previous year.
The overall verdict of the 2019 Chainalysis report can be considered mixed for cryptocurrency exchange users. While it appears to be good news that the value of funds stolen in 2019 is down, it’s also worth bearing in mind that a single exchange hit hard by one attack can skew the total for the year.

I am reading this article about bitcoin's user interface and how it is still hard for most ordinary people to use or get used to. I reckon a small altcoin like us can be nimble and experiment on solutions that create an easier user experience? This might bring us some advantage. https://www.longhash.com/en/news/3256 |

Did it not occur to them that there are not many people who want to donate to the project except for those people controlling it? Those miners that support this want all miners to donate. Why not donate their owns coins directly without this softfork and leave the other miners alone?  Miners on the Bitcoin Cash network appear to be preparing a plan to finance the protocol’s development using their own block rewards. The controversial plan would see 12.5 percent of the total BCH coinbase go towards those building on the network.
Those behind the plan say that it is impossible for developers to work without financing. They reason that existing solutions to the problem present their own problems.Read in full https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/01/22/bitcoin-cash-miners-preparing-controversial-miner-tax-to-reward-devs/ |

Would Binance list a real community coin similar to Grin? I reckon Changpeng Zhao might do what they did to Jared and Digibyte. Demand a fee of 1/3 the supply hehehe.
I am curious why Binance has not yet listed Grin coin on their platform while they already listed BEAM. I have my feeling that Grincoin is much more favorited by altcoin-crypto community, rather than BEAM. BEAM tends to be more favorited in South of Korea. To continue for Febo, Grin is not only favored by the altcoin community. Some of the oldest of bitcoiners also support it as shown by the donations that came from very old miner public keys. |

@DireWolfM14. The handicap is also +1 for San Francisco hehe. I might bet for the moneyline, however. The difference is not that big and the winner might win by more than 1 field goal.

@mich. Is that the father's move on how to make it appear that his son is the real money fight? He is only giving more negotational leverage for Conor.

It might be easier for Conor to win versus Floyd Mayweather than Pacman, I reckon. Pacman's hand speed, strength and cardio would overwhelm Conor in all the rounds
But Mayweather is undefeated so its safe to say that he is better than Manny Pacquiao. With Mayweather intelligence in the ring, he knows how to fight without him putting in a risky situation that he could be knock out, manny is different, he like to give more entertainment to the fans so he will be aggressive, I like to see it happen and possibly a knock out for Conor would happen. Yes Floyd is better than Pacman, however, Pacman's style, hand speed, hand strength and cardio will be harder for Conor. Pacman will not give him time to rest. Watch their differences on the heavy bag practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZoM8ljOWykhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16yNNX4hHwkI am talking about in overall performance in boxing, I agree that Manny is better than Floyld but that would be my bias opinion because I am a fan. if we haven't seen Manny knock out an opponent lately, most probably we will see it soon when these two will fight. I never argued about who was the better boxer. I was talking about who would give Conor more problems in boxing. Comparing Floyd and Pacman's styles and by watching their heavy bag practice, I reckon Conor would not finish 6 rounds versus Pacman. |

@bigslimvdub. The people who used to run them might have already dumped their coins and may never come back.
In any case, I suggest a proposal for the community to have more public nodes online and paid for from the community fund if needed.

Also, this should be accepted by bitcoiners that solutions should be created to produce better wallets to make it easier for newbies.
In the end, Peter Schiff is always looking for a reason to trash talk Bitcoin. If it isn't the price of Bitcoin that has greatly outperformed Gold this year, it's something else he will use. It's not a surprise that after no more price tweets he now resort to such silly methods to gather attention. Shiny rock at $5000 per ounce yet?  Agreed, however. Everyone should be helpful to the newbies who sincerely want to learn and ignore the people who say anything bad about bitcoin to try to trick us to get our attention. |

Is everyone back on Conor's side again? Punching the old man in the face has been forgotten hehehe?
@cabron. He is also the only fighter in MMA who can fight in the boxing ring and scam all fans to buy the tickets on record levels hehe.

It's ironic to see someone with important position don't know the importance of backup your digital files.
He is a bitcoin hater. However, maybe the bitcoin maximalists should teach him instead of reacting negatively to his tweets hehehe. Also, this should be accepted by bitcoiners that solutions should be created to produce better wallets to make it easier for newbies. |

If Khabib loses to Ferguson and he will be the next title holder, will Conor still be interested to fight Khabib?
Or he will be more interested to get his belt back?
His been calling Khabib for a rematch as far as I can remember so probably he is still open for that fight. Lots of options for Conor now because of his "impressive" win against Donald Cerrone. I'm sure Dana is very happy to see him winning, because as cash cow, he can still potentially set up Conor to whoever he wants and get tons of money out of it. So let's see how it goes, disappointed on how Cerrone performed though, he didn't offer anything and was simply steam roll by Conor. its where dana get the big ppv profit. so i wouldn;t be surprise if they will push the pacquiao fight as well all for the money. can't believe the cowboy just curl down before mcgregor. he haven't stepped on the center yet. i was expecting him to duck and grab legs to take down since he already have watched kabib match. such a big disappointed. luckily i only bet TRX for this match. I am fan of Conor, however, I reckon that it might be safer for Conor's face to fight Floyd than to fight Pacman hehehe. Pacman is more dangerous and can hold the attack for 12 rounds. I think only Juan Manuel Marquez fought toe to toe with him for 12 rounds. |
