Don't get personal. Keith Thurman enjoys an excellent personal relationship with Manny Pacquiao. The trashtalk is all staged and before every major fight you can find such drama. It is all scripted and the purpose is just to attract more fans to the event. Thurman is not someone who is going to disrespect a legend such as Manny Pacquiao. 

I have my doubts regarding yesterday's match. The bowlers were performing well until the 46th over, when the Afghan captain (Gulbadin Naib) decided to bring himself on. Remember that the leggie Samiullah Shinwari had two overs remaining at that point. Then, 46 runs was required from 5 overs, at a rate of 9.2 runs per over. Naib conceded 18 runs and it swinged the match in favor of Pakistan. Many in India are accusing Naib of gifting the match to PAK.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The article says that only transactions that are worth more than $1,000 will be monitored. So what will happen if an user makes multiple transactions of $999.99 during the same day? Also, since these regulations are applicable only to such users, if I have only $100 in my exchange wallet, do I have to undergo KYC?

I first invested Bitcoin in 2017, when the prices were around $1,000 per coin. My initial investment went up by 20x in 2017, but the next year it went down by as much as 85%. After my initial investment, I never purchased any coins from the market. Most of my revenue after that came from signature campaigns and bounties. But now the big question is when to cash out, and how to do that.

Make no mistake. Ether is not faring that well. It has fallen to 0.025 BTC per coin, and the trends are negative. Among the alts, Binance Coin and Litecoin were the ones who held on during last few weeks. But now even they have fallen. Litecoin has dipped below the psychologically significant 0.01 BTC mark. The dominance stands at 62.7% now, and I think it will reach 70% by the end of this year.

VPN / TOR can be used for crypto-to-crypto transactions. But what he'll do in case he want to convert some of his coins to fiat currency? Almost all the major exchanges such as Bitstamp and Kraken have made KYC mandatory now and there is no guarantee that they will not share the user data with the governments. One option is to go for peer to peer transactions using platforms such as Localbitcoins. But even LBC is not 100% safe and the authorities can track your bank transactions.

No one loves the banks or the bankers. These people suck the lifeblood out of the hard working people and whenever they lose money due to their stupidity, the government steps in to reimburse the losses by spending the tax money. Here in India, the banks have been increasing charges for every small thing, including ATM withdrawals and issuing cheque books.

Why don't they come up with these sort of predictions when the exchange rate was just above $3,000 per coin in March? These sort of predictions only come out when BTC suddenly goes up by 200% or 300%. IMO, the next bull run should take us to $50,000 per coin, and there is a very good chance of that occurring during this year itself.

From where did you got the 70% mark? By June 2017, the Bitcoin dominance was 39% and Ether was fast catching up (31%). At that time, the ICO market was at its peak. After that, the dominance increased from 39% in June to 54% in December (when BTC attained its ATH). During Dec 2017-Jan 2018 Ripple had its bull rally and the BTC dominance once again declined from 54% to 33%.

Bravo and Russell could have made a difference. I understand that Russell is injured, but it is also true that some of these West Indian players take IPL much more seriously than the CWC. What they need to understand is that in case West Indies don't perform well in major tournaments, then no one will notice the WI players and give them a chance to play in the IPL.

A win against South Africa today can give Sri Lanka two more points and place them at the same level as England. The advantage for England is that they are having a better NRR. But neither of the two teams looks like the favorites to enter semi-finals as of now. Tomorrow Pakistan can win the match against Afghanistan, and they'll be having 9 points. Another win, and they are in the semis.

I don't think that the announcement regarding Libracoin has anything to do with the current bull run. The first confirmation about Facebook planning to create a cryptocurrency came in May this year (The Wall Street Journal on 2nd May 2019), while the bull run started almost two months prior to that date. And there was no immediate jump in the cryptocurrency exchange rates when the confirmation came out and the sharpest bull rally occurred one month later, in June.

If Fox News was doing the same, then I am sure that a lot of the left-wing intellectuals could have gone ballistic. I am from India, and even here we have noticed Google and Facebook shamelessly interfering in local politics. If you check Google News India, it is full of articles from extreme left media outlets such as the Quint, Netional Herald, the Hindu and the Print. You will never find any articles from the most popular Indian media outlets, such as Republic or Swarajya.

Your post is full of blunders. First of all, the name of the cryptocurrency is Libracoin and not Global coin. And secondly, it is not going to be a stablecoin. As per Zucker, the currency will be backed up by real assets (including cash and bullion), but the exchange rate will be fluctuating similar to Bitcoin or Ethereum. And thirdly, it is not confirmed that the coin will not have smart contract features. Those details are not public as of now. But in all possibility, why should they shy away from using advanced technology, when they have the option?

This is just wishful thinking. "Altcoin season" may never come. In a couple of months, Bitcoin dominance may reach the 70% level, from the current level of 63%. I won't be too surprised even if reaches 75% or 80%. For now the alts are holding strong against the USD, although they are declining against BTC. If the trends persist and BTC moves toward 20K, then the alts can lose value against USD as well, as a lot of users may rush to purchase BTC with whatever funds they have with them.

In the end BNB will end up like IOTA, which has lost 90% of its value (against BTC) since the beginning of 2018. Ethereum is of a different league altogether. It was first listed almost four years back and during this time the developers have worked hard to eliminate the bugs and deficiencies. It has emerged as the most popular platform for launching tokens and smart contracts, with more than 90% market share. Now this can't be compared to BNB whose only function is within the Binance exchange.

Are you sure about this? Because the trading volumes indicate something else. Coins such as BNB have lost more than one-third of their value (vs BTC) during the past 7 days. If there was a lot of demand for BNB, then this would have never happened. The daily volumes have remained higher than the average and the most popular trading pair was BNB-BTC. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this data. And that is, users are selling their altcoins to purchase Bitcoin.

Facebook is having billions or users and they won't care if a few thousand accounts get deactivated. I would like to get some free Libra coins as promotional offer and I would later convert them to BTC or ETH. Let's treat Libra the same way as we treated Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Just collect the freebies and exchange them for something more valuable. I don't have any BSV in my wallet right now. I have converted all of them to BTC long back. Would do the same to Libra as well.

You have not listed the no.1 reason (that is the one given by the OP). The single biggest threat to the existence of cryptocurrency comes from the government. Being a resident of India, I know how difficult it can get if the government starts harassing the cryptocurrency users. Last year, around 100,000 individuals received notices from the income tax department as the government closed down the local exchanges and retrieved the user data from them. Banks closed down any savings account that was even remotely linked to crypto-trading and as a result most of the trading has either gone underground or has shifted to P2P.

Obviously there are Scam Accusation and Investigation sub-forums here, but the chances of scam victims getting any sort of compensation is very remote. The crypto-anonymous and liquid nature of cryptocurrencies makes it extremely difficult for the authorities to detain the scammers and seize their holdings. And things get further complicated when the coins move from one country to another, and if both the nations have differing legal clauses regarding cryptocurrency. In the end, it is up to us to take the necessary precautions to prevent getting scammed.
