When Grin is under pressure:



Please excuse me. Grin

You can do this girl! We will help you get through this hehehe. Do not forget the lube, however. There are more dumps coming from the miners.

We are going to $1, I reckon.

It might make a small bounce, however this bear market is taking everything down with it. Grin will not be an exception, sadly.

However, this is also good because we can take the bagholders attitude and buy more while it is cheap hehehe.

Floyd is making a storyboard. The delays are simply part of hyping the fight. It will make the fans talk about it more and it will make all of us anticipate it more. When Floyd sees that the fans are ready to be separated from their money, he will sign the contract hehehe.
With the exposures media has created before and after the fight of Manny Pacquiao,the meetings in the NBA game not once but twice?certainly this is the strategy they use to gain more popularity and to get the pulse of every people round the world.and ofcourse to sell more tickets and increase his professional or talent Fees lol

They used the same accidentaly meeting in a basketball game strategy in 2015 before Floyd versus Manny 1 became official. They are using it again and it is becoming very predictable.

They should hire Dana White to write their storyboards and organize a bus attack hehehe.

Anderson should retire, reckon. He has nothing to bring and show in the octagon anymore. He is old.

@Travelmug. However, Anderson was also cocky. Watch his fight versus Chris Weidman hehehe.

I cannot find the words to express how shameful and how very low this person is for the human race. I shake my head.

However, I do not know the whole story except for what I have read in this article. Does Peter Vessenes and Coinlab rightfully have strong claims

strong claims? no. the agreement was forged on misrepresented operational health and solvency. most of vessenes' claims are based on revenue that never existed in the first place, so now he's trying to take the money from the pockets of mt gox depositors.

shameful is right. he's already a pariah in the bitcoin community because he's been building these claims in plain sight for years.

Also, he is part of the Metronome ICO together with Jeff Garzik. Maybe that scam is already dying and he thought that it might be good to move on to the next scam.

Peter's strategy might be to delay the payouts until the claimants settle with him in exchange for a share of their bitcoins.

@1Referee. You are wrong hehehe. There are regular joes who buy when the price is going down in a bid to buy the lows. Ironically doing it causes more mistakes of buying at the wrong time and at the wrong price.

Most people will not admit this.

@mich. It appeared that Jose Aldo might have hurt his knee or his ankle when he did it hehehe. He was hiding the pain, however there was a very faint limp in his walk when he returned in the octagon.

https://www.ccn.com/why-pantera-capital-says-bitcoin-bear-market-different

The most interesting takeaway from this is that Mr. Pantera believes most institutional types won't buy when it's in the doldrums and will only show up when there's an uptick.

The Dow Jones, the Nasdaq and the other major stock markets around the world are presently bullish. I reckon the institional types would have no reason to pull their money out to hold a cryptocoin they do not understand hehehe. What they might be doing is preparing for a gold pump if they exit stocks.

The ETF might be bitcoin's only chance of getting the next flow, in form of multibillion investments, from the institutional types.

I cannot find the words to express how shameful and how very low this person is for the human race. I shake my head.

However, I do not know the whole story except for what I have read in this article. Does Peter Vessenes and Coinlab rightfully have strong claims on all the money to make him think that all the Mt.Gox victims should get nothing?


Peter Vessenes smiling

Attorney Daniel Kelman tweeted, “Peter @vessenes is now confirmed as the party claiming ¥1.6 [trillion] JPY in damages from MtGox. He apparently thinks MtGox victims should get nothing.”

Mt Gox was, at the time half a decade ago, processing upward of 70% of the world’s bitcoin, and when it finally collapsed, a lot of people lost a lot of money. Investigations were launched. Funds were reportedly gone forever, then were suddenly recovered, and then were revealed to be only a fraction of the real amount. Price appreciations in 2017 appeared to make what was left over more than compensation solvent for victims, and then prices crashed. Trust appointees have dumped BTC onto the market, resulting in, some contend, various price crashes. And those are only part of the story.

The latest wrinkle in the saga can be summed up by crypto exchange Kraken CEO and founder Jesse Powell, who gasped, “Unbelievable balls on [Vessenes] to hold up payouts to thousands of victims for years with an entirely frivolous claim over a botched partnership attempt. How could you think that your $16B claim should be senior to the actual account holders’? How do you show your face?” As of publication Vessenes has not responded.

Reports from the middle of last year claimed something like $1 billion in BTC would be returned to victims, and it’s not immediately clear what impact Vessenes’ claim would have on that dispersal. However, a court’s challenge is to find who is owed what amount and in what order. Conceivably, Vessenes’ claim could wipe out the entirety of what’s left, and at least hold up the process altogether if a court finds his claim worthy of investigation.

@squatter. What makes me think total miner's rewards might be low? It might because there will only be 21,000,000 bitcoins in existence hehehe. Miner's rewards are going to 0, except for the fees. Can the miners sustain themselves from the fees alone?

Also, if the fees in bitcoin are permanently high, would it not make the people begin using other cryptocoins?

Pump & Dump?

maybe after Binance listing

There is no one to pay the $2 million listing fee, so will take much longer. 

Grin will pay the same listing fee as Ravencoin paid.  Cool


I don't know what listing fee Ravencoin might have paid, but for community driven projects which take a lot of attention, it makes sense for exchanges to list them for free or with big discounts.
When the community is big, the exchanges want to grab customers from that community.
I don't think anyone ever paid for BTC or ETH to be listed anywhere!

https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1050326256841940994

"Back to listing.  Ravencoin, no ICO, community project, humble people, no listing fee."

CZ listed Ravencoin for free.

Binance has not yet begun amassing a big pile of Grin hehehe. If it does, Grin will be listed for free.

Some exchanges sometimes take more money from amassing a coin then pump and dump it than the listing fee, I reckon.

Have you noticed that sportsbooks, dice sites and other businesses are also accepting altcoins and are increasing?

yes, to some extent. this should be expected as the altcoin markets grow, especially when most merchants are using payment processors. with coinpayments, accepting altcoins is like flipping a switch on. this doesn't necessarily suggest altcoins are threatening to overtake bitcoin.

Do you think the people will continue to use bitcoin when the fees are high? No, the people will look for alternatives, I reckon.

is that what happened in late 2017?

there's a pretty strong correlation between fees and price: they rise together. evidently, people have been willing to pay what the fee market charges.

i'm all for the market having different options, anyway. i think people will be willing to pay for bitcoin's superior security. for lower value transactions, there's lightning, sidechains, altcoins. it's hard to say how things will pan out exactly, but i think strong demand will remain for bitcoin because of its network liquidity and security.

2017 was only a temporary rise in fees. I am speculating on fees that are permanently high because 20 years from now the mining rewards will be very low for miners to support themselves. Miners might leave or users might be required to pay high fees.

Can bitcoin sustain itself on fees alone?
7194  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-01-31]Bear Market did not Prevent Users From Engaging Themselves in Darkne on: February 02, 2019, 03:40:39 AM
@BitHodler. That was what I was trying to say. If the darknet vendors' preference is only bitcoin, I reckon he might be putting all his customers at risk later. This will also negatively affect his business.

Also, adding Monero costs darknet drug dealers nothing and this might expand their customer base.

An executed order by definition does not add liquidity, it takes liquidity off the books.

However, they also provide the liquidity in the orderbook. In the creation of the market, it might be true that the volumes are fake because the market makers are trading largely with each other's orders depending where the market is going.

We cannot expect that only users to start the market.

What if this was an exit scam and they are making it appear that it is not an exit scam by stealing more 2 weeks after the exit scam hehe.
7197  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-01-31]Bear Market did not Prevent Users From Engaging Themselves in Darkne on: February 01, 2019, 01:27:03 AM
@hatshepsut93. Agreed. Also addicts like to hodl the drugs, not the bitcoins hehehe.

In any case, with regards to darknet safety, the darknet users should use Monero to secure their privacy. They do not want their transactions made on a blockchain that everyone can follow and analyze. It might put themselves in trouble later.

Watch Roma! It is on Netflix now if you have it. If not, there is always torrents hehehe. There is no excuse not to be able to watch the latest movies anymore.


I've seen the trailer and honestly this is exactly the kind of movie I don't care about, all about style, photography but no real story or characters (I really don't like Terrence Malick's movies for example).
Tell me I'm wrong, that this is more than a "beautiful long clip" and I might watch it... eventually.

Terrence Malik is different. He has an unrelatable style that maybe only his filmmaker peers or the critic would understand and admire, I reckon.

Alfonso Cuaron's films is about human emotion in the face of adversity that all ordinary moviegoers can relate to. Watch Y Tu Mama Tambien, one of his earlier work.

@asche. Freddie Mercury was gay wasn't he and he also died of AIDS which might have been contracted from other gay men or drug use?

He was not a saint, I reckon. He was gay and wild, which is something not to condemn him about.

Not codemning that.
However the Freddy Mercury from the movie was nothing like the real Freddy. Ok both had aids and were gay.

But in the movie he is kinda presented like "somewhat gay/bisexual", which is not who he was at all.

Twisting the story like the producer/scenarist did, is blatant homophobia to me at worst, or just a way to make more money off the movie because it fits the narrative better. He can do what he want with fiction. But when you mix fiction and history and sell it as a biography, I don't like it.

There are a lot of very good written critics about this you can read, I did. They are enlightening Smiley

If you hated the way he was portrayed in that movie, maybe you would have hated Sacha Cohen's portrayal. His would have drug parties with cocaine served on plates on top of women's heads and orgies with men and women hehehe.

That might be the kind of person he was outside of Queen.

@davis196. It is an indicator. Sometimes it might help some people trade better, however Tom Lee's misery index might have been created to make himself feel that he made the right decisions. Similar to the lies bagholders tell themselves hehehe.

I should stop laughing at him, I am an Aeon bagholder. Sad
