Ethereum fork again? Why then is the price doing down? Akm seriously hoping for ethereum moon.
The answer is clear, because this version of Ethereum is not working as Vitalik had promised. It is not scalable. It failed. Also, where is the hard fork to proof of stake? I reckon Vitalik should address this. He might be avoiding it because it will highlight his team's failure. The digital ledger behind the supposed better version of Bitcoin is running out of capacity.
That was the warning last week from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who noted that the cost of processing transactions done in the digital token Ether on the underlying blockchain may get too expensive for some users.
Ether’s network utilization has spiked into the 90% level, according to tracker Etherscan.io. As utilization increases, transactions costs could follow suit, possibly making potential corporate users hesitate to use Ethereum, Buterin said.
Almost two years ago, Ethereum was getting clogged up as the digital game CryptoKitties took off. Then thousands of initial coin offerings, which turned out to be mostly scams, took up space on the network. More recently, though, as a majority of the ICOs went bust, a new tenant is taking over Ethereum: The controversial coin known as Tether.
In the last 30 days, Tether paid computers which process transactions on Ethereum’s digital ledger $260,000 in fees, according to data researcher Ethgasstation.info. That’s about 17.5 times more than CryptoKitties and six times more than the world’s largest distributed exchange, IDEX.
As Tether takes up more capacity, that leaves less for other developers. Ethereum was touted by enthusiasts when it was created as a better Bitcoin -- one with extra features that would let people automate tasks and even set up so-called autonomous corporations, ones that run themselves via software. But most of the most popular so-called dapps -- apps designed for such networks -- currently run on competing digital ledgers, according to tracker DappRadar.com.Read in full https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-26/ethereum-almost-full-as-controversial-coin-gobbles-up-capacity |

@bryant.coleman. I reckon that it might be a good time to speculate on doing some short selling on bitcoin SV hehe.
However, what is Craig Wright's real plan in this situation? He knows he was going to lose the case. Is he that foolish?

@mich. His wife looks like a transgender. You be careful before you do anything and turn off webcam. Someone might be watching you hehehe. Also, Dana's new opponent for Conor.  |

I reckon Ethereum 2.0's release might be similar to the SEC's approval of a bitcoin ETF. Many delays.
I predict that Vitalik's release might not be until 2022 or never hehehe.

This article is clearly an attack on WhalePanda. To some of you who does not know him, he is a maximalist that has called Ethereum and all ICOs as scams. I reckon most of them deserved to called a scam, however, not all were. In any case, why is a maximalist investing in a company that will issue tokens in Ethereum? What is the difference between his investment and another not a scam ICO investment? The paperwork? That does not make the project better. It might also fail similar to the other ICOs.  One of the most vocal “critic” of ethereum and ethereum based tokens has invested in an ethereum token (ERC20).
Stefan Jespers, known as WhalePanda, has invested close to $300,000 in a start-up that has applied to publicly sell an ERC20 token.
He is joined by other loud ethereum “critics,” like Samson Mow of Blockstream, with Charlie Lee of Litecoin here too as well as Riccardo Sapgni. That’s in addition to a number of pre-ICO investors that seem to be hidden behind LLCs.Read in full https://www.trustnodes.com/2019/08/23/bitcoin-propagandist-whalepanda-invests-in-ethereum-token |

Imagine if the $3 billion worth of bitcoins was really Warren Buffett's wallet. Oh no, they found my secret storage of rat poison squared hehehehe.
Would be funny if that old fart was holding >21000btc and had been lying all the time  Waiting for it to go to a million and then selling for 21 billion dollars. This would be the headline hehehe. Old fart makes $21 billion on investment in rat poison squared. However, on the news, it appears that some whales might desire more privacy to move their coins. How can this be done in bitcoin? What if the billions moving in bitcoin were really from a private investor? His privacy is destroyed. |

Underrated or it might also be unproven. This season with the Clippers will show what kind of an effect Kahwi has on which team he plays.
We should not be influenced by the media hype. They are similar to bitcoin news media that hype ICOs hehehe.
Winning 2 championship is enough to prove that Kawhi is star caliber type of player, actually he can retire now and he will be remembered as one of the best players in the NBA. There are a lot of good players in the NBA, but most of them did not win a championship, this guy won 2 championship and was a Finals MVP on that win. Agreed. Kawhi is an NBA all star, however, I was asking whether he is on of the greatest of all time list with Michael Jordan, Kobe and Lebron. I do not think he is yet. How do we know if a player a greatest of all time? Do we have a criteria for that? I think being great is now only based on the number of fans of a player and I believe Leonard does not have a lot of fans since he is kind of quite guy, other NBA star players like to tour around the world after the NBA season, that makes them gain more fan based in different countries. Ask the experts in the thread. However, I reckon there should be a criteria for that. Why are Michael Jordan, Kobe and Lebron considered the greatest of all time? Not because they have the most no. of fans, I hope. |

@estenity. I do not know. The bitcoin news media appears to be very excited to confirm that it is owned by the plustoken ponzi, however, what if the wallet is owned by a rich investor? His privacy has now been destroyed because of a few tweets hehe.

If it is not a Chinese ponzi moving all those coins, then who? A rich investor? All bitcoin addresses of his are now marked, no more financial privacy for him hehehe. In any case, Chainalysis launched a real time alert service for 15 coins. It might be helpful for suspicious transactions, however, it might also be used for blacklisting wallets. Blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis has introduced "suspicious cryptocurrency transaction alerts" in "Chainalysis Know Your Transaction (KYT)", its "real-time anti-money laundering (AML) compliance solution".
According to Chainalysis, this new feature results in alerts being generated "whenever a transfer involves a risky counterparty and crosses a value threshold." Alert levels (Severe, High, Medium, and Low) are "based on factors such as category, service, direct versus indirect exposure, direction of funds, and amount," and are available for all 15 cryptocurrencies that Chainalysis supports (including BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, USDT, and DAI).
Michael Breu, Gemini's Chief Compliance Officer, also chose to comment on this announcement:
As a New York Trust company we are required to monitor transactions on and off our platform. Tools like KYT alerts, which provide real time and ongoing blockchain analysis, coupled with Gemini's own compliance policies, help us meet our regulatory obligations.Read in full https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/08/chainalysis-launches-real-time-suspicious-transaction-alerts-for-15-cryptocurrencies/ |

 there's no good reason why not (there aren't even any bad reasons as of yet) You seem to be more optimistic than I am. I just get the impression that the developers are too conservative and think that we shouldn't implement things that are new because who knows what effect it will have on Bitcoin. If you're completely honest and take off your perma bull cap, how long do you think it will take before we see taproot and Schnorr signatures implemented? Lightning/segwit are not 10 years old, what are you talking about? I was referring to how after nearly a decade we so far have only had SegWit and LN as scalability/upgrades. That's what I consider a poor show. Not even a block size increase. This isn't what I consider progress. The on-chain transaction throughput is capped at ~400k transactions on average with SegWit not gaining more adoption. However, also consider what the other projects are doing on scaling their own cryptocoins. Most of the altcoins also have nothing working. Scaling blockchains might be harder than everyone first thought or also maybe impossible. |

This is the beginning. We might witness Aeon pump on over 10k satoshis again. However, this time, it might not be dumped down. The project has never been better from the support of a small but loyal followers.
Thank you everyone.

bbc.reporter, is it some kind of inside joke that you never get the fucking photo right of the guy you are supposedly referring to?  And yes, Peter Schiff will never live this one down when it comes to pass Bitcoin @ 50K. What do you mean? I will never do something like that. This is outrageous, I shake my head hehehe. That is a nice screenshot of Tom Lee and Peter Schiff together. Bump that once bitcoin is on $50k hehe. |

Is Nate Diaz Dana's new pet? He might be. It appears Conor's leading fan, Dana, has become Nate's fan after a video of Conor punching an old man went viral hehe. UFC president White spoke to reporters during the UFC 241 post-fight press conference. When asked about Diaz’s star power, White couldn’t deny that the Stockton native has the “it” factor (via Bloody Elbow).
“Yeah, pretty tough to deny (his superstardom),” White told media members during the UFC 241 post-fight scrum. “He’s a needle-mover now.”Read in full https://www.mmanews.com/dana-white-admits-nate-diaz-is-a-needle-mover-after-ufc-241/TMZ Sports reports that the incident took place inside The Marble Arch Pub in Dublin on April 6. The story goes that McGregor offered to buy shots of Proper No. Twelve whiskey for the patrons. McGregor insisted people indulge, however one man refused and paid dearly for it.
It’s unclear if the two traded words, but McGregor was heated enough to punch the older man.Read in full https://www.mmanews.com/video-conor-mcgregor-allegedly-sucker-punches-older-man/ |

@Reid. Kahwi is not on that level and he might not reach that level, I reckon. It is hard.
Lebron is on that level, however, he will never be viewed as the best similar to how Michael Jordan is viewed as the best. Hard hehehe.
It can't be avoided that there are some comparison, Leonard is good because he won the championship 2 times already and until now he is still an underrated player. Maybe because he wasn't recognize as a star when he enters in the NBA unlike Lebron James that he knew already that he can be like Kobe when he first entered in the NBA. Leonard is still 28 years old and he will continue to develop himself, and though he doesn't have a fancy moves like Lebron and Kobe, but look at his stats, he is so consistent, he come up clutch in different important occasions and that's the quality of a real star. Under rated. That is correct. You know why? I remember Kenyon Martin's interview about CP3. There is a difference between a look of analyst than what is really happening in the locker room. Same thing with what happened with Kawhi. He wasn't seen by analyst, specially ESPN. So, who will hype his greatness? None. Oh! But look at Lebron. Before he even came to NBA all the media and praises are unto him, red carpet on his way and throwing all the money at his walkway. While Kawhi stay humble and still got to snatch 2 championships and yet until now, still no hype about him. All are still on Lakers. Underrated or it might also be unproven. This season with the Clippers will show what kind of an effect Kahwi has on which team he plays. We should not be influenced by the media hype. They are similar to bitcoin news media that hype ICOs hehehe. |

James Bilal Khalid Caan - Satoshi Nakamoto
Why all the buzz? Did he sign a message with the priv key of one of hi known addresses? No? Was it explained that it's just a marketing gimmick? Yes. Well, the more the discussion on this subject, the more it will be used, over and over again. Please don't pay attention to anybody claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto unless he provide a properly signed (new) message.I do not know hehe. Also, do not shoot the messenger please. Slow death asked if there were any updates on the news. I was only showing him that nice picture of Satoshi hehehe. |

@Cryptotourist. I would agree with you if there was not a better coin to gobble up. However, do you not think that the whales would more readily gobble up bitcoin than grin for the next 5 years?
Also, are the miners not selling grin to hold bitcoin?

Let us balance the speculation subforum with some of Peter Schiff's permabear trolling. We cannot listen to Tom Lee all the time, can we hehehe?  For a man that wants nothing to do with Bitcoin, economist and Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Schiff never misses an opportunity to share his opinions about the cryptocurrency.
His latest prediction? “Bitcoin will never hit $50k,” Schiff proclaimed today on Twitter.
Schiff is well-known in the world of finance as an unapologetic goldbug, a catalog of profitable investments—and, yes, correctly predicting the 2008 U.S. housing bubble and ensuing financial crisis.Read in full https://decrypt.co/8627/bitcoin-will-never-hit-50k-says-crypto-skeptic-peter-schiff |
