@jonoboini. I reckon each exchange itself and the vip traders and investors who were holding those coins in them, have already dumped them, is the reason for the difference of their lists hehehe.

I predict Sebastian will not be extending his contract in Ferrari after maybe retire. It is now very clear that there is nothing for him in that team.

However, maybe he might come back and reunite with Christian Horner and Adrian Newey in Redbull and become a championship team again hehehehe.

Is Dana creating a new storyboard for one of the biggest fights in the UFC's history after Conor vs Khabib? I reckon yes he might be hehehe.

The UFC also denies it, however, my skeptical mind says that Conor's bus attack was staged for the creation of the biggest pay per view in MMA's history.



Nick Diaz is not amused by Conor McGregor’s recent callouts.

McGregor has been widely regarded as the biggest star in mixed martial arts. He went from being Ireland’s most promising prospect, to a two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title holder and a mainstream figure. McGregor has been on a quest to get ownership stake in the UFC and has even joked about tussling with actor Mark Wahlberg for shares. Diaz isn’t laughing.

Diaz took to Instagram Stories to rip McGregor (via Bloody Elbow):

“Why would you wanna fight someone who can’t fight? What a peace (sic) of sh*t !! Same as beating someone with handcuffs on.”

The timing of Nick’s rant on McGregor is interesting as it comes just a couple of weeks after Michael Bisping’s suggestion. “The Count” said that he likes the idea of McGregor calling out Nick when his co-host on the “Believe You Me” podcast Luis Gomez brought it up.

Is this Tom Lee appearing in his delusional state again hehe.

In any case, his comment in the interview can become an incentive for him and his whale friends to pump the price to $10k and cause a Wall Street FOMO to $40k.


On a Binance podcast, the Fundstrat analyst claimed that $40,000 would be likely within a few months afterwards.

The host brought up Lee's recent comments about Wall Street FOMO, which could kick in after $10k. Lee claimed that "Bitcoin has to make people believe that it can achieve all-time high" in order to get institutions back in. He pointed out that it is currently at a price level that it has only been above for 5 percent of the days in its history.

Generally, FOMO hits when the price achieves a level it has seen 3 percent of the time. After the $10,000 level is reached, there could be a surge of 200-400 percent within the next 5 months.

News update.

The FBI has begun collecting information from QuadrigaCX's victims. Why the FBI? It might be as I speculated. There are exchanges in the cryptospace that are created and used by a global money laundering ring.



A press release published earlier this week showed the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) are on the Quadriga case now, investigating the exchange, which filed for bankruptcy following the death of Cotten.

The FBI have published a questionnaire for victims, asking for personally identifying information, contact information and details about their QuadrigaCX accounts.

Yes, Localbitcoins has closed it's door to physical trades and I am happy that it happened. Polices all around the world are using this feature to catch people who are dealing on bitcoin. Recently 3 students from Bangladesh got arrested for trading in bitcoin and this is how the Police of Bangladesh had trapped them. So I am glad that it has been stopped! It was well assumed that governments will be pushing such kind of p2p platforms to comply with KYC norms someday or later, that was well envisaged!

I don't have any issues in complying with KYC if the government wants to. Achieving absolute privacy is not possible anywhere in the world unless dark web is used! However, to accelerate the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptos, it needs to be regulated at some point of time. This way we can ensure fairer transactions and less chance of fraud. That's the reason why I always prefer to have trades with only 2-3 traders over and over again!

How easy is it for some to be manipulated by the government's use of fear and deception.

Also, you want bitcoin to be regulated under the present laws? I reckon more of your Bangladeshi friends might be arrested.

@serjent05. Agreed. However, they care about the investors that have the political commections that can move the SEC's heads and arms like puppets hehehe. We did not see Ethereum charged by the SEC, did we?

Danny Green should start performing and also Siakam. Kahwi and Ibaka cannot win this for them.

Also, the Raptors winning this game would be a shocker like I speculated. Was it btc-angela who said that Golden State is the big favorite in this series hehehe?
6633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SEC charges Kik ICO for issuing unregistered ICO on: June 08, 2019, 01:17:53 AM
There might be another reason why the SEC has acted to charge Kik on their ICO. The SEC found out that Kk was already losing money as a company before they issued their ICO. It might be a move to democratized their losses instead of democratizing opportunity for investors.

I withdraw my objection on the SEC's move in this case hehehehe. Charge them!


The allegations set out in the SEC’s lawsuit are not flattering to Kik. In its court filing, the agency airs the Canadian company’s dirty laundry, revealing among other things that it was losing money at the time it decided to sell digital tokens to the public. While Kik has framed its ICO as an opportunity for users to contribute to its digital platform, the SEC portrays it as a hail-mary money-grab by a desperate company. The agency also notes that Kik’s digital tokens have lost half their value since the sale.

@Kemarit. It appears that bitcoin's 10 minute confirmation times and requiring 3 to 6 confirmations before reflecting the coins in your account is an advantage hehehe. It will give exchanges more time to react and freeze the account if something is wrong.

6635  Economy / Speculation / Re: Billionaire wants to buy 25% of the bitcoin supply on: June 07, 2019, 04:33:37 AM
@magneto. Agreed. Also, where will the broker find sellers to total 25% of the supply? I reckon an ETF issued by a very reputable institution must be approved this year. Bitcoin derivatives is their only chance to invest billions into bitcoin.
6636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SEC charges Kik ICO for issuing unregistered ICO on: June 07, 2019, 04:09:50 AM
@vit05. ICOs are not a stupid way to raise funding. It is a democratized way of taking money directly from willing investors without needing the banks. Also, what the American government should do is stop the scams but stop regulating the whole cryptospace by making threats and gross overreach.
6637  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-06] Traders Wager On Bitcoin Hitting $50,000 Soon on: June 07, 2019, 03:46:52 AM
That is a poorly written article. Who made the wager, how much was wagered, what were the terms of the wager? Clickbait and hype.

Also, those traders should be taking long positions, not wagering on the price hehehe.
6638  Bitcoin / Press / [06-07-2019] GateHub hacked, nearly $10 million has been stolen on: June 07, 2019, 02:59:54 AM
I reckon this must be hard for the owners of Gatehub and certainly very hard for its users. However, that is what you risk in a system that requires the necessity for trust.

Inside job, incompetence, exit scam, I do not know anymore.


Yellow: Exchanges and accounts used to cash out. Blue: Victims. Red: 9 suspected accounts


Today GateHub released an official response to the event, saying it has contacted all customers whose wallets are believed to be affected (about 100), adding that anyone who has not been contacted should be safe.

They admit the investigation is still underway, and do not currently know how the breach occurred. From their response:

"API requests to the victim’s accounts were all authorized with a valid access token. There were no suspicious logins detected, nor there were any signs of brute forcing.

We have however detected an increased amount of API calls (with valid access tokens) coming from a small number of IP addresses which might be how the perpetrator gained access to encrypted secret keys.

That, however, still doesn’t explain how the perpetrator was able to gain other required information needed to decrypt the secret keys.

All access tokens were disabled on June 1st after which the suspicious API calls were stopped."

Exchanges being used to move the money include Huobi, Kucoin and even Binance. The researchers claim they have been in communication with the exchanges which are being used for laundering.

At this time it isn't clear how the hack was possible or if there is any path to get the funds back, but it seems unlikely.

6640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / SEC charges Kik ICO for issuing unregistered ICO on: June 06, 2019, 02:37:52 AM
The cryptospace has developed faster than the regulators have created laws on how to regulate it. I reckon ICO issuers should be allowed to issue tokens as investment as long as they are not a real scams similar to Bitconneeect.

Also, citizens should also by allowed to invest their own money in anything they want as long as they do not call the regulators if they lose their investment.



The Securities and Exchange Commission today sued Kik Interactive Inc. for conducting an illegal $100 million securities offering of digital tokens.  The SEC charges that Kik sold the tokens to U.S. investors without registering their offer and sale as required by the U.S. securities laws.

As alleged in the SEC’s complaint, Kik had lost money for years on its sole product, an online messaging application, and the company’s management predicted internally that it would run out of money in 2017.  In early 2017, the company sought to pivot to a new type of business, which it financed through the sale of one trillion digital tokens.  Kik sold its “Kin” tokens to the public, and at a discounted price to wealthy purchasers, raising more than $55 million from U.S. investors.  The complaint alleges that Kin tokens traded recently at about half of the value that public investors paid in the offering.

The complaint further alleges that Kik marketed the Kin tokens as an investment opportunity.  Kik allegedly told investors that rising demand would drive up the value of Kin, and that Kik would undertake crucial work to spur that demand, including by incorporating the tokens into its messaging app, creating a new Kin transaction service, and building a system to reward other companies that adopt Kin.  At the time Kik offered and sold the tokens, the SEC alleges these services and systems did not exist and there was nothing to purchase using Kin.  Kik also allegedly claimed that it would keep three trillion Kin tokens, Kin tokens would immediately trade on secondary markets, and Kik would profit alongside investors from the increased demand that it would foster.  The Kin offering involved securities transactions, and Kik was required to comply with the registration requirements of the U.S. securities laws.
