Peter Schiff might be right if only the institutional investors' definition of a safe haven is considered. However, let us see. Bitcoin might be already on new all time highs by the next global recession. Peter has been very critical of bitcoin since it was $100 hehehe. In a Twitter debate on August 29, Schiff used the sudden weakness in the Bitcoin price to suggest it was an unreliable alternative investment to assets such as stocks and fiat currency.
He rejected previous theories that BTC could help investors looking to hedge risk from exposure to factors such as the US-China trade war.
Bitcoin lost around 8% on Thursday, taking its price to below $9500 – a level it has stayed at since.
“Bitcoin has again failed the safe haven test,” Schiff declared.
“On Friday, as escalating trade tensions sent global stock markets plunging, investors sought refuge in monetary safe havens. The Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and especially gold all moved higher. Yet Bitcoin plunged by more than stocks!”Read in full https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-failed-safe-haven-test-again-goldbug-schiff/ |

@Lanatsa. I predict 2 positive effects for successful government shutdowns of all mixers. It will begin the anonymous coin revolution and it might make bitcoin unattractive for criminals which makes it more attractive for today's more skeptical investors.

Eddie Hearn: Andy Ruiz-Anthony Joshua 2 will be one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U982yGnWX30Hearn likens the upcoming heavyweight rematch to the ‘Thrilla in Manila’ and the ‘Rumble in the Jungle.’He sure does like that MIDDLE EASTERN money  Eddie Hearn like an ICO pumper, I shake my head. Anyone should not believe this promotional overexaggeration. It is bad hype. Thrilla in Manila was a historic fight between 2 great boxers in boxing's golden age. Andy Ruiz versus Anthony Joshua 2 does not equate to that. |

ZCash just got region banned on Coinbase for United Kingdom users. Does taking 20% of coins for Electric Coin Company makes ZCash a security under United Kingdom regulations?
Coinbase UK delisted zcash when it changed banking partners. Many people have speculated that it might be because zcash is an anonymous coin. However, is zcash an anonymous coin hehehe? |

@mamahdedeh. I predict that the delays in Ethereum 2.0's release will be worse than the SEC's approval of the bitcoin ETF hehehe. 1. Will there be a fork like we had for bitcoin cash? Or we will have to deposit our Ethereums to an address to get ETH2 in a new address? Or our Ethereum will be updated automatically?
2. What do you think about regulations? Is it possible that we will be forced to pass KYC to get ETH2?
The fork was already completed back in Feb. 2019 (Constantinople). AFAIK there will be no "ETH2" coins that will be issued, it will be the same ETH since it's a network upgrade. I'm curious how the migration from POW to POS will be. yes, maybe this is only an upgrade on ethereum network, thats mean we don't have to do anything and in my opinion there will be no KYC for this There is certainly no KYC. The transfer will be done by you yourself through a one way smart contract to transfer your Ethereum 1.0 coins to the new blockchain of Ethereum 2.0. |

@Wilhem. He should be right. If he was wrong, he will have the longest day with the doctor. Longer compared to Max Keiser's week and Tom Lee's year hehehe.

Does anyone else who wants the statement Aeon isn't just a currency. It's a lifestyle. removed from the front page, besides me? Also does this apply on Aeon? Decentralized digital currency is slowly becoming a normal part of everyday life. Yet everybody's main internet device continues to be their cellphone, a device with a low-powered CPU and limited available storage.
AEON is about enabling this era, enabling an age where all people everywhere have the freedom to privately send and receive money with whatever gadget they already own.Source http://www.aeon.cash/Do we have an updated stable release for Android phones? |

The cave troll said that if Ripple is a decentralized network, they have the power to do it. He will be very sad to discover that he will not have the power to do anything. Ripple does not need a community. It needs banks and the banks' clients. |

there is no information about this yet, but I think it will be some kind of technical update without the appearance of new coins
It is not an update. It is technically an Ethereum reboot because it is beginning a new blockchain with a new genesis block. The users will transfer their coins from the old Ethereum 1.0 blockhain to Ethereum 2.0 blockchain through a one way smart contract. |

AFAIK, next scheduled hard fork is Istanbul that is expected to happen around November this year but it is still within framework of Ethereum 1.0. As to Ethereum 2.0 its zero phase i.e Beacon Chain is planned for the end of 2019 - beginning of 2020, also via hardfork on the understanding that all ETH addresses remain valid; KYC, this is not the case here. Ethereum 2.0 will not be a hardfork. It will be a new platform not connected to the original Ethereum. What the users will do is transfer their wallets from Ethereum 1.0 to Ethereum 2.0 through a smart contract. I shake my head at this. Why did Vitalik not release a proof of stake Ethereum from the beginning? |

"I'd like to take this chance to apologise, to absolutely everybody" - Conor
So it looks like a heart felt message to me as well. Anyways maybe people misunderstood his antics specially on that occasion and then as a person he find time to realised that what he did is a total dick moved specially when he found out that it was recorded.
You do not need to be a genius to know that he punched an elderly person and that too for neglecting the offer Conor gave. The only thing he can do is to come out and save his public image and i expected this interview because the backlash he got after the video is published was damaging for his brand. It was not a heart felt message, it was a PR stunt because the incident took place a few months ago and only now the video is out for the public, so you can guess what the truth is . I wish the senior citizen files a lawsuit and he wins a million dollars for his dick move.  The guy is done, at this point he cannot be defended, that's simply bad. He is 'retired' anyways, I honestly doubt that he will fight again, maybe one or two fights here and there for the money but I don't see him coming back as a fighter. Dana would disagree. Dana says in some of his interviews that if the timing is right, any fight can be done. I am certain that he already has a storyboard ready for Conor's comeback in his file cabinet hehehe. |

@Ronnie. This might be the bet to offer hehehe. Would Cloudbet consider something like this to be listed in the sportsbook or would it be too political? This prompted British podcaster Peter McCormack to come up with an interesting offer to those who believe Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. McCormack, who is currently embroiled in a libel lawsuit with Wright, said bet $10,000 that none of the coins associated with Satoshi Nakamoto will be moved within a year.
Open bet available for any $BSV CSW cultist of the belief that Craig has the Satoshi coins.
I'll put up $10k that none of these coins will be moved by CSW within a year, I'll even offer you 2-1 odds, so $5k for you.
Money locked in escrow, paid out 1 year today.

@1Referee. Agreed. However, I reckon most of us thought bitcoin was anonymous when we came in here? We might also not be the last hehe.

@Hueristic. Plan of who? The developers? Agreed! The infinite but predictable emmission was chosen to put a stop to moon math.
@HairyMaclairy. We want $0.50 hehehe.

@furball64. Ethereum 2.0 will not be a regular update. It will be a new platform coded from scratch.
I reckon that it might be a risk for Vitalik to do this because all the projects that were made on Ethereum might have a difficult task of migrating to the new platform.

@Wilhelm. Long week for Max Keisler, however, it is a much longer year for Tom Lee waiting for the new all time high of $25k hehee.

This article has a clear contradiction. It speaks of the fact that they are using BTC as a tool of privacy and hence out of sight of governments. On the other hand, governments are monitoring these flows. More specifically, they are monitoring Bitcoin revenue streams. This is a weak argument. When there is no other reason to ban something we start to create fears about it so that people avoid. I do not know what the real ratio is, but more people are speculating than the number who use BTC for dark activities. The article mentioned bitcoin as not private nor anonymous, however, it is perceived to be. It is not the article's fault that the clear contradiction is the 2 Chinese individuals who want private transactions but used bitcoin hehehe. |

@1Referee. Agreed. Tom Lee is cofounder of Fund Strat which also invests in stocks. Tim Draper is also a venture capitalist. The 2 know how to invest money.
What was Max Keiser before bitcoin?

Let's see how he manage this rookie, coach steve is known as a good coach in experimenting his line up, but honestly, I haven't seen lately a guy like his size who are successful in the NBA. That last time I saw was Yao Ming, after his era, big man which are super tall are not anymore successful.
One thing I notice is that the pace in the NBA now are getting faster, so they can't cope up with the fast face with big minutes.
The opposing team will always find the weakness or the disadvantage so they can attack, also NBA teams now have improve their outside shooting so they have an option if the inside is well guarded.
He is actually good. I have seen him play. He is faster than any normal big man. More faster rhan Shaq and maybe even faster than Dwight. It will help if he gets more training on mid range shots. More like a Nowitzki type of game plus some muscle plays too. But rookies this days are just not given that much minutes. It will be a problem for veterans and they might even do some bad behaviours in the locker room. I googled for fast NBA center position players and this name appeared, Hakeem Olajuwon. Mabe also like him? I watched his highlights on Youtube, he plays like a forward in the offense. |
