Agreed if she campaigns for seizure of the oil companies and car companies profits also. They have been responsible for the destruction of the environment for years before the first coin in the cryptospace.  Bitcoin uses a gargantuan amount of electric power, which rubs climate activists the wrong way. Some of them want to go to extreme lengths and confiscate your coins to pay for the alleged damage that has been done to the environment.
During a heated Twitter debate, security researcher Eleanor Saitta came up with a wild idea to seize the holdings of everyone who works with Bitcoin in 2020. In fact, she is convinced that all your assets, including historical earnings, should be confiscated to pay for "climate reparations."Read in full https://u.today/your-bitcoin-btc-should-be-seized-to-pay-for-climate-reparations-says-security-consultant |

@Thekool1s. The fiat supporters do not care because they do not treat their currency similar to a religion. Elon Musk was correct by telling us that we should acknowledge cryptocoin technology for illegal purposes. I reckon that we should embrace it.
However, we might have lost our motivation for disruption and replaced it with want of legitimization and regulation because it might pump the price.

I'd love to hear more about stable coin Grin. When unstable?  You might jump from a cliff again hehe. Its monetary policy will be the reason why Grin's price will be more stable and less volatile. If you wanted unstable, hold the coins with limited supply. |

Other than the father's absurd demands on money, he also demands something more absurd from Floyd. 12th round of boxing metch should be in MMA. I reckon that boxing metch should be made versus Conor! Speaking to TASS.ru, Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, said a bout between his son and Mayweather could come to fruition under one condition (transcription via Google Translate).
“Mayweather has statistics on fights of 50 wins and zero losses, he is the greatest in boxing and he wants to fight with the same champion who did not lose a single fight, with Khabib, everything is fine, but now we have Tony Ferguson on the line. We said a long time ago: let us finish with Tony, after that we will work with [the team of Ukrainian boxer Vasily] Lomachenko for six months, then there will be a boxing fight. We offer any day anywhere, with only one condition: 11 rounds in boxing and one in mixed martial arts (MMA).Source https://www.mmanews.com/khabibs-father-proposes-special-rules-bout-with-floyd-mayweather/ |

Leo already got his oscar after so long and he has one, hell academy maybe just gave him one so people would shut up because I honestly think that he played in much better movies that he didn't won any.
It's not just about whether he played in better movies when he didn't win Oscar (tbh for me Revenant is better than Aviator, Wolf of the Wall Street and Blood Diamond), what it matters is competition too. In 2004, Jamie Foxx was simply better in the "Ray". In 2007, Forrest Whitaker won, but it was kinda weak year, and wouldn't have been mistake if Leo won, or any other actor for that matter. In 2014 McConaughey kicked ass, no one else had any chance. Imho, in 2015 that Oscar he won was well deserved, and not a compenstaion, despite what some people were talking. He did a good job there, and competition wasn't too tough either (i liked Fassbender in Steve Jobs , i think he also did a good job there. And this year, it will be between Phoenix and Driver, and as long as Academy chooses one of those two, they won't miss. This man is a certified couch potato. He knows his movies hehehe! What would be your bets on the best costume design, best visual effects and best original score? |

Hey,at least it's voluntary. For now.
Interested to know how much is institutional money and how much is minnows.
Maybe some day soon Brian coinbase will actually admit that bitcoin isn't shit since he is responsible for 5% of all of it. He's even managed to write the word a couple of times recently.
I am certain he knows that it is not shit. However, similar to the rest of us bagholders, he must pump the altcoins that he and his people have bought and sometimes involved in as part of the board of advisors hehehe. |

to be fair part of the increase in the amount stolen is because of bitcoin price rise. for example if 1 bitcoin was stolen in 2014 it would have been ~$300 but if it is stolen today it is worth ~$8000k.
additionally part of it is because of the large number of shitcoins that were created in 2017 and were dumping in 2017 and 2018. people had to go to exchanges to dump their shitty tokens so they transferred a lot of funds to exchanges and when the exchange is hacked (or scams its users and runs away) a larger amount of money is lost.
Agreed. Also, the increase of the no. of attacks and hacks should clearly be more concerning than total amount stolen and it should be approached more as a computer security problem, I reckon. |

I reckon that this might have more chance and possibility to become real than Conor versus Pacman or Conor versus Floyd rematch. Does Bob Arum not always gets what he wants hehehe? Arum Wants Crawford-McGregor In Octagon & Boxing Ring
Bob Arum has turned to mixed martial arts in his quest to find an appealing opponent for Terence Crawford.
Arum told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he would like to make a two-fight deal for Crawford to fight UFC superstar Conor McGregor. According to Arum, one of those fights would be a boxing match and the other would be an MMA match.Source https://www.boxingscene.com/arum-wants-crawford-mcgregor-octagon-boxing-ring--146126Arum is now absorbed by this new trend of just making money regardless of how the fight would actually turn out. If he pursues this crazy fight, he is also kind of crazy. And I think Conor will look more terrible against Crawford than against Mayweather. Conor already will look terrible wearing the big boxing shorts and the boots hehehehe. However, Conor will also have the chance to make Terrence Crawford look terrible in the octagon hehehe. |

Leo already got his oscar after so long and he has one, hell academy maybe just gave him one so people would shut up because I honestly think that he played in much better movies that he didn't won any. Joaquin Phoneix (dude has the coolest name ever) is the favorites in all sportsbooks for a reason, dude played in basically the most oscar movie ever oscared in oscars history, he will 100% get it for sure without a doubt. I have literally seen 1.01 for his win as odds, the worst I have seen was 1.20, that literally means he will get it without a doubt.
However, if we had to really pick anything else, I would still pick Adam Driver over Leo, leo was good and all but Adam Driver literally played his role out of park so good, for a dude who was a Marine while others worked on their theatre, he sure is better than most of the competition.
Sometimes it becomes which nominee was more popular among his peers for that given year, not how good his or her performance was in the film. In the best actor category, I reckon the winner is chosen by members of the academy who are also actors. |

Has Tom Lee every speculated what would happen if Craig Wright actually was part of the Tulip Trust and get the private keys to the 'supposed' billions in BTC development coins?
No, however, I am certain that he will be very bullish hhehehhee. In any case, why do I have a feeling that he and his clients are selling again? He makes bullish predictions on CNBC, bitcoin is red. Bitcoin bull Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, is predicting another good year for the world’s most dominant cryptocurrency.
Lee argues,
“This is bullish for Bitcoin. And then with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, that’s good for crypto. So, there should be a lot of tailwinds. We’re getting a lot more interest in it as well from our clients.”Read in full https://dailyhodl.com/2020/01/24/fundstrats-tom-lee-says-clients-showing-increasing-interest-in-bitcoin-btc-predict-big-year-for-leading-cyptocurrency/ |

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 |
