0 comments after first F1 race of the season? C'mon, where are you guys!? What a confident win of Bottas! I think that Mercedes made mistake by making Hamilton pit stop so early, because Bottas had great pace with same age tyres and only made pit stop 8 laps later. But probably pit stop of Hamilton was just an reaction to pit stop of Vettel.
It wasn't good race for Ferarri, they weren't able to compete with Mercedes today. Also, Vettel lost position to Verstappen. And we saw good old team orders again when Ferarri didn't let Leclerc to try overtake Vettel.
Terrible start of season for Ricciardo - accident in start and early retirement.
Despite change of engine supplier Mclaren still looks bad, meanwhile Red Bull with Honda engines can compete with Ferarri or even Mercedes. But maybe it's too early to make such conclusion just after one race.

I reckon most of the people in the forum think it is boring.

In any case, the same strategy used by Toto Wolff. Pretend that they have a slower and a difficult to manage car than Ferrari during testing then pretend to be surprised that they have more speed than the Ferrari during race day hehehe.

As far as I'm aware we didn't get a new ATL. Very close to it but not quite.

Do not be worried, it will make it and keep making it a few more times within the next 5 to 10 years hehehe.

@holden.commordore. That is not the reason. Read more about Grin's monetary policy before assuming something.

https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/Monetary-Policy

The development team is clearly giving more importance on coin distribution than market capitalization.

@estenity. That is why stoffu made his proposal. However, there are some people in the Aeon community who are clearly making it appear the problem is entirely something else.

The writers of State of Aeon might be trying to avoid the real issue hehehe. Read what they wrote, these are not stoffu's reasons. I shake my head at this.


Allow Aeon to stand out from the rest of the CN community by being the first Cryptonight Light coin to use SHA3.

Allow Aeon to move away from its close following of Monero to give itself a unique existence.

Allow a test base for CN protocols on SHA3 for possible future integration of other CN projects.

Possibly increased interest of developers in the Aeon project.

Allow for possible value increase due to increased notoriety of the project.

FYI, the real issue is ASICS not being embraced because they have shown time and time again to not be fair on the network with those unable to obtain them. If you do not believe that any of the above comments are fair judgement for a possible outcome of a change to SHA3, maybe you missed the real issue the project currently faces.



There is no Asic resistant mining algorithm is the issue. It has always been the issue and stoffu is bringing this issue into broader discussion with his proposal to embrace Asics. However, it appears you are ignorant of this issue or try to make it appear that stoffu is only arguing for it for shallower reasons.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat: Bitcoin Bulls to Return in 2019



Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors has once again given cryptocurrency market predictions. The long-term Bitcoin bull stated earlier that sentiment will once again turn positive during 2019.

Lee draws on technical, macro, and fundamental indicators to make these conclusions.

When I first read the title and went through your post honestly I was bit puzzled, I had to read it for the third time to realise this was a sarcasm directed at Jamie (who’s shown in the picture lol). I have read his forecast and I hope for his sake he gets it right this time as public sentiments are quite high. However considering last year he got carried away, many people may not believe his words easily this time.

The sarcasm was directed at Tom Lee who has gained a following here in the forum as the leading bitcoin contrarian indicator.

However, there are some people who are beginning to consider that he might be correct this time. Does that make him a stronger contrarian indicator or weaker hehehe?

Why does not he tell us how much money he invested in bitcoin? why he does not say how many bitcoin he has? if he had bought a house, I believe he would tell us how much money he paid for the house. So why is bitcoin different? Is he afraid of hackers? Is he afraid of criminals? or is he afraid to be seen as someone who is instilling people into buying bitcoin? There are few people who are not ashamed of bitcoin and who assume the role of inspiring other people to use bitcoin, but most of these rich guys still have the feeling that they should not instilling anyone to use bitcoin because they think that with such high volatility people can lose money

Maybe he is embarassed because he is holding only 1 whole bitcoin hehehe.

In any case, I do not think that he would be lying. He is a person who might be paranoid, however. He writes a newsletter called Gloom, Boom, & Doom Report.

However, why was QuadrigaCX sending 600k ethereum from cold storage to different exchanges? Why do that? I reckon this has already occured before the banks have frozen their accounts.

@spadormie. George R.R. Martin is also writing for the tv show. He only has the creative rights for how the story should be written.

In any case I have already made a request for Cloudbet to lower the minstake for the Game of Thrones betting. I hope they lower it, they have the best betting format available for the show.

"It’s not certain, but possible, that Bitcoin will be the standard for money transfers."

As an old school investor he understands what is going on, unlike Warren Buffet.

This is only one guy. Imagine what would happen when others join. Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey is in the game too.

They are coming.

Bullish.

I reckon the hype is back on again hehehe. I also reckon that the famous people who invested in bitcoin like Jack Dorsey or Marc Faber has not looked carefully on the problem of bitcoin's mining incentives in the next 20 years.

Grin's monetary policy might be a fix.

@figmentofmyass. The frozen bank accounts might be because there was a suspicion of money laundering. However, instead of shutting down,or exit scamming, Gerald Cotten continued to deposit money to the exchange out of the goodness of his heart? I reckon he was using his personal accounts to launder money.

@LTU_btc. I reckon McLaren will be better this year compared to the last how many challenging years hehehe. I also reckon that it might win versus the Renault and the Haas to be the top among the middle teams.
6912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Grin Observer - GRN/BTC - Price Movement and Discussion on: March 14, 2019, 02:39:56 AM
@mindrust. In all of the predictions I have read on grin, I agree the most with theymos' advice and I trust his experience because of all of his years in the cryptospace.

He speculates that grin might see a low of $0.50.

@sunsilk. People will never be scared because we love to gamble hehehe. However, I reckon the only reason why people would stop speculating on ICOs are strict regulations if succesfully enforced.

@ATSgrowth. Tone Vays has a haircut that predicts better than him hehe.

Another news update. Rest in peace Gerald Cotten, however this might be disrespectful of me to say. Quadriga is beginning to appear more like a small player in a bigger money laundering ring. I have said this before, however I believe it more now.

I reckon Gerald might not be trying to save the exchange's customers because he cared. He was personally laundering money using his personal account.




Gerald Cotten, the deceased founder and CEO of crypto exchange QuadrigaCX, used his own cash to make customers whole during a legal battle with a bank, his widow said.

Jennifer Robertson, Cotten’s wife and executor of his estate, said in a statement sent to CoinDesk Wednesday that Cotten told her he was putting his own funds into the exchange after the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) froze its fiat holdings in 2018 over questions about their origin.

In the statement sent by law firm Stewart McKelvey, she said:

“While I had no direct knowledge of how Gerry operated the business, he told me that he had been putting his own money back into QCX to fund user withdrawals in 2018 while the CIBC money remained frozen. I believe Gerry had the best interests of the business in mind, and cared for his customers.”

@Carollzinha. However, if you knew what you were talking about, you would know that George R.R. Martin is not finished writing the last parts of the book series yet. No one knows the ending.

Can anyone help me make a request to lower Cloudbet's minstake for betting on the Game of Thrones? Cloudbet has the best format for it but the minimum is .01. I made a request for it to be lowered to 100k sats. Please help me hehehe.

@RivAnge. I reckon higher costs would give miners more reasons to dump. Miners are also not idealistic people, they are businessmen hehehe.

@amruleshare. I am not certain if this is the situation up until now. However, I reckon it might also be because Bittrex and Poloniex's wallets are disabled for withdrawals.
isn't that  better for the price will look stable because most of the new coins by mine are still in the miner's personal wallet, I also do not believe the hotbit exchange has a significant $grin in their wallet, This is nonsense ! Kucoin $Grin Available

It will not make a difference, I reckon. If the miners need to dump what they mine to pay for their bills, they will dump.

Also, Bittrex already has grin deposits and withdrawals available.

I reckon you missed the whole idea of stoffu's argument in his proposal. This is what he said and you should post this in your state of Aeon article.



There is no such thing as ASIC resistant PoW.

Whether someone creates an ASIC or not is not determined by how technologically difficult it is to do so, but how economically sensible it is to do so; i.e., when a coin gets more adopted and the price rises, ASICs will appear no matter what.

@amrulshare. That is why I said learn how to use the command line and know how to store your grins properly. Many people did not try when Monero was under $0.50, which might also have caused them to avoid buying it and miss an opportunity.
