@Flagship11. Then that will be for the real lightweight championship. Conor is a good fighter but he is not the best fighter in lightweight. Look at his fight history, he fought mainly in featherweight but only went to lightweight to fight Nate and to win the championship from Eddie Alvarez.

7522  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Binance delists BCN, CHAT, TRIG, ICN for 4 different reasons. on: October 10, 2018, 12:19:55 AM
Good news on the delisting of bytecoin. That scam should be exposed. Their development team lied to the community that they were the preferred cryptocoin in the darknet which they were not, they had a secret premine and were saying there was no premine and they might have cryptonote vulnerabilities discovered by the Monero developers.

Also, why is Poloniex continuing to support it?

Good article. Everyone read it.



BYTECOIN

POTENTIAL REASON: EVIDENCE OF UNETHICAL/FRAUDULENT CONDUCT.


The first coin of the four was Bytecoin. This coin has had a very rocky past dating all the way back in 2013. It has been accused of having an 82% premine after it’s creation. The developers and founders are anonymous and have been written about extensively. It’s good to see Binance take action to remove such a questionable coin from their platform.

The damage may have been done already as BCN bag holders may have to wait a while for break even on this one.


CHAT

POTENTIAL REASON: LEVEL OF PUBLIC COMMUNICATION AND ACTIVITY


I tweeted about Chat coin back on June 30th, 2018. At the time, the project had no active development and their social media had looked abandoned.

A month after my tweet, they started tweeting after August 30th to try and be more active. They’ve also added an update on their website.

Chat sent out a tweet earlier today declaring that they haven’t had any reason given to them by the Binance team.


TRIGGER (TRIG)

POTENTIAL REASON: Network / smart contract stability


Trig is an interesting coin based around the gun industry with a planned mainnet launch and the reason for delisting is unknown at this point, but they did potentially address it in a blog post here.

Bittrex had delisted Trig back in January of 2018 due to a lack of interest.

In fact, they were asked that specific question and they believed that they would not be delisted from Binance, but because they are not ERC20 compatible, Binance is following Bittrex.

We may see them relisted in the future after the mainnet swap to TrigX in Q4 of this year.



ICONOMI (ICN)

POTENTIAL REASON: BECOMING A SECURITY TOKEN


ICN delisting comes on the heals of ICN announcing their token will be converted into the eICN equity token. This equity token is also a security token, which most exchnages are not currently legally prepared to offer.

They had sent out a tweet before Binance had announced their tweet, giving token holders a heads up before it happened.

7523  Economy / Speculation / Fundstrat: Now Is Not the Time to Increase Bitcoin (BTC) Exposure on: October 09, 2018, 11:53:35 PM
Is this Tom Lee's way of escaping from his $20,000 by end of 2018 prediction? I reckon it is hehehe.

Also, low volatility should be a signal to buy more, right? Why is Fundstrat discouraging everyone from buying? Maybe they want all the cheap coins for themselves before the volatility comes back hehehe.



With Bitcoin (BTC) volatility near 17-month lows and the price trading sideways in the $6,400 to $6,600 channel, some analysts are recommending investors hold-off on increasing their exposure to BTC until a clear direction is determined.

According to MarketWatch, the market strategy firm Fundstrat Global is now changing tune from its previous bullish stance, which was often circulated by the fund’s CEO, Tom Lee, when made multiple calls for BTC to reach $20,000 as recently as August.

“Investors should remain patient and wait for evidence of an improvement in ‘trend’ before increasing exposure,” said Robert Sluymer, an analyst for the firm. “A move above the September real and relative highs remains the key resistance/reversal level that will need to be exceeded to signal the early stages of a trend reversal

7524  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-10-09] IMF suggest crypto could create new vulnerabilities in finance on: October 09, 2018, 11:41:40 PM
Yes, agreed. Some regulations might be needed but how will they supervise the cryptospace and enforce those regulations? We hold our private keys. How can they stop anyone from making global transactions?

Also, who should the government regulate? The processors of the transactions also known as the miners? Good luck hehehe.



The IMF published a new World Economic Outlook report today. In a report from Forbes, the IMF states that:

Cybersecurity breaches and cyber attacks on critical financial infrastructure represent an additional source of risk because they could undermine cross-border payment systems and disrupt the flow of goods and services. Continued rapid growth of crypto assets could create new vulnerabilities in the international financial system.

This isn’t the first time that the IMF has spoken about the crypto market. In February, Christine Lagarde, the chief of the IMF, stated that it was only a matter of time before cryptocurrencies fell under government regulation. At the time, she said:

It’s clearly a domain where we need international regulation and proper supervision. There is probably quite a bit of dark activity [in cryptocurrencies].

@slocker. That is what we always ask for. I hope the next season will be better. But it never becomes better, it has been becoming worse.

The sport has become a yearly season long commercial for the teams' sponsors and the constructors while using an outward appearance of competition.
7527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread on: October 09, 2018, 03:19:07 AM
If connor really prepared for years like khabib did instead of just publicity stunts, connor seems like the better fighter to me. He just needs stage time and training and he will kick anyones butt in the ring.

Unfortunately he won't have a chance to prove it because there will be no rematch after what Khabib and his mates did.

Wrestling is part of MMA, if you only like striking then stick to boxing.

True, Fedor started with Judo and so did Khabib.

Quote
I think there will be a rematch. He has to get his cardio issues together, it's been happening for too long. Without endurance and polishing timming and keep practicing takedown defense, he can't win this damn guy.

I very much doubt there will be. They may be playing around, testing the viewers and waiting for the demand to skyrocket, but they also need to make a stand and show that such unsportsmanlike behavior won't be tolerated.


I really don't see why there wouldn't be a rematch. I think there will be a rematch, it's pretty obvious. This is the perfect dream scenario that the UFC wanted: More drama. Now people want to see a rematch, specially when Khabib gets his titled stripped most likely. Two of the guys that were involved in the brawl are banned from competing on the UFC, but that doesn't make the fight impossible. It's Khabib fighting on teh octagon not his teammates.

Conor will either get the rematch next, or fight Nate for the trilogy, perhaps fight Tony, or even Portier again but I don't see Conor giving a rematch to someone he has beaten.

Conor is still the money fight, he can get whoever he wants to fight again, the money is too good to refuse, even for Khabib which says he doesn't fight for money (yeah sure).

I want to see Khabib take on Fergusson tho, let's see if he can stop someone with pretty much unlimited stamina.

Agreed. I reckon it is already written in Dana's storyboard that there will be a rematch. Conor wants it and Khabib certainly will not mind another big paycheck hehehe.

But Dana has to work hard in asking for the minimum fine and punishment from the Nevada State Athletic Commision for Khabib if the UFC wants this rematch within a year.
7528  Bitcoin / Press / Re: The United States announced the possibility of tracking criminals... on: October 09, 2018, 02:56:47 AM
It has been done since 2013.  Cool

Also the government agencies spending on blockchain analysis services like Chainalysis has been increasing. It will not be long until the FBI, CIA and the IRS will have a good map of bitcoin's blockchain.

You know where to go if you want to hide hehehe.

@AngryWhiteWolf. It will be released if it is ready. I reckon no one would like to waste their time on building the binaries if they expect another update after a short time.

Sophia release point 6 might still be under observation for stability and security.

7530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: October 08, 2018, 11:53:31 PM
Is Aeon on the move? Yes, it is on the move going down hehehe. That news is about Monero. It used to be good for Aeon because we were always within 10% of Monero's price before Monero was pumped by some insiders who knew Alphabay was going to accept it.

Also about Katiecharms, she is more active and now a moderator of /r/GRIN a project based on Mimblewimble's whitepaper. If she is dumping Aeon then that's her right.

In any case, maybe we should also join Grin hehehe.
7531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: October 08, 2018, 02:53:42 AM
@estenity. That might be it if Katie truly has been dumping her coins. I reckon we need to hurry for Aeon to be in a new exchange. Aeon's present liquidity cannot take the dumps of one of its biggest bagholders hehehe.
7532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread on: October 08, 2018, 01:20:37 AM
~snip~

You are wrong. Khabib's fight IQ is very much lower than Conor's fight IQ. I am not telling you this because I like Conor more than Khabib, I like both of them. But Khabib is a 1 dimensional person, while Conor McGregor is a deep thinker and has studied more on the soft skills of martial arts and combat more than Khabib.

Conor is an open thinker and has used different techniques to improve his martial arts. An example of this is learning the movements of Ido Portal which as something that he was ridiculed in the MMA community. But it worked as witnessed in his fight versus Jose Aldo.
So, am I on point with what I have said? Did McGregor showed that he was an open thinker who was using different techniques when he tapped out? But kidding aside like I said McGregor's only hope was facing Khabib while standing up which he didn't do as Khabib took him to the ground almost 3/4 of each round. Khabib who was 26-0 entering this fight should made McGregor to prepare more but what I have seen where he can't even get out of a take down showed lack of preparation on countering Khabib's attempts, sad to see McGregor losing the fight but Khabib showed that he is the better fighter in the ring.

You are on point hehehe. I thought Conor would expose Khabib but it was Khabib who exposed Conor. Khabib also punched Conor hard in the head that rocked him going backward. What a sad day for Conor fans. Sad

Also, yes I also felt that I was scammed.

i hope there is a twist on that story like what happend the the pump most predicted it to10k and at 10k most predicted ot at 15 k but then is goes up to almost 20k, now they predicted 9k there must be story behind it, im excited on the twist LoL.

Agreed! A twist would really make it appear that they no nothing. But the twist should wait until Tom Lee first declares that he is giving up on his $20k by end of 2018 prediction hehehe.
7534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread on: October 07, 2018, 12:56:35 AM
@cellard. Agreed. This fight will also be a test on Khabib's chin. He was rocked by Michael Johnson before but Khabib continued to dominate that fight. However, Michael Johnson's punches are not as precise and fast as Conor's left.

We already know what Nate Diaz did in Conor versus Nate 1.

It will be exciting, in that Conor and Khabib will play versus each other's weaknesses.

I doubt this is a good example. These guys are not bagholders. They're speculators, just from the frequency they run off their mouths and spew predictions depending on the ebb and flow of the tide of sentiment. Also, permabulls can still make low guesses anyway, they're perma, not short-termers.

But hell, 9k not possible in the entire three months left we have of the year? What a timid estimate, anyone of us here could have pulled that out of our asses. Might as well have gone daring and say we won't be testing 8k.

Either way, happy to gain more when everyone else wants to sell!

I did not say they are bagholders. I said not admitting to a mistake when everyone have already seen that it was a mistake is a good example of the mentality of a bagholder.

Also, ok maybe it is not about the bagholder's mentality, but the negative emotions from bagholding that are having an effect on the bagholder's mentality hehehe.
7537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is Ripple's plans for XRP if the banks have do not use for XRP? on: October 07, 2018, 12:17:26 AM
xRapid [1]. It offers fast cross-border payment for banks and financial institutions by using the token XRP which will be sourced from exchanges around the world. If they adopt this new technology and start making transactions with it, there will be demand for XRP, and as long as there's demand and usage in the market, the token will still have value and people will keep trading XRP like always.


1. https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-highlights-record-year-xrapid-now-commercially-available/

But why do they need the XRP token and how does it serve its purpose as an incentive? Ripple and apps built on Ripple are not decentralized for there to be a token needed to serve as an incentive.
7538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread on: October 06, 2018, 03:27:20 AM
Conor might lose this fight. Did anyone watch the faceoff during the ceremonial weigh-ins? It appeared Conor was furiously forcing to get inside Khabib's head but it was not working.

I hope Conor will not gas out on the 2nd round or else he will be smeshed on 6 October hehehe.
7539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / What is Ripple's plans for XRP if the banks have do not use for XRP? on: October 06, 2018, 03:14:12 AM
I keep seeing the hype that banks are beginning to use Ripple based payment applications built on xCurrent and Ripplenet. But upon doing my research, no bank was using XRP and they might also have no interest to hold it because it might be illegal for them to.

What will happen to XRP?



The launch of the Ripple-powered app MoneyTap was announced on Twitter on Wednesday. It uses the Ripple’s product xCurrent to allow three major banks in Japan to conduct money transfers in real-time mode. SNB Sumishin Net Bank is among them along with two others.

Money can be transferred through the aforementioned mobile app, available both on iOS and Android.


To perform a transfer of their funds, customers will just need a smartphone and a QR-code. Money can be transferred either in the local or foreign fiat currencies. No commission is charged. The system is secured with a special system of biometric authentication by scanning fingerprints. Earlier, U.Today reported that a similar system is used on the Opera crypto wallet.

Unfortunately for crypto enthusiasts, XRP tokens are not engaged in this app. It is solely for fiat transactions.

@estenity. Load what? It is so hard to buy a large amount of Aeon without moving the price. It is also hard selling it without moving the price down. This is very frustrating.

I like Aeon but loading more than the liquidity in Bittrex, our best exchange, can accomodate would be a very big mistake.
