@swogerino. For some time? Are you implying that he has been treated badly for years now? I reckon it only started in the middle of the season of 2017 and then more so on this season. But he was not openly treated badly.
@slocker. Sebastian's championship battle is finished, I reckon. They have made many strategic mistakes, some of it driver mistakes, and wasted their good start of the season.
On this race, we should watch Charles Leclerc versus Esteban Ocon, 2 young drivers and with Max not very far behind hehehe. I predict Max will overtake both and finish in the top 5.

@rickadone. That is the common attitude in the cryptospace. But in the interest of discourse, how can we be that certain that bitcoin will go back to $20k, or how can we be certain that it will be bullish again? What if bitcoin now is in its fair price and will stay there for the next 50 years?
Well, in our life, nothing is guaranteed, and the thing we can always do is to be optimistic when at least you know there is still more possible room for growth. Take a look at how things have been over the years and the way adoption has been increasing, take a look at the fact that we keep seeing development every now and then and there could still be an opportunity for real life usage, hence, more demand, see the fact that the government can also see a way to want to regulate the space, and that brings more awareness, summing up all these means there is a possibility to see that happen, but you should know even at that, it does not mean we can see what exactly the future holds. I was not asking about what kind of attitude the speculators should have in a deflated market. I was giving an imaginary situtation and wanted to know what your thoughts might be. In any case, in that situation if bitcoin has stablized, I reckon that there would be more dumping and/or more speculation in altcoins. |

It appears that founders or seed investors of exchanges who have the political connections can use that power to kill their competition starting in smaller exchanges.
Smaller American based exchanges should start forming their own lobby group, I reckon.

@STT. Agreed. But the investors and speculators who are presently bagholding bitcoin will not he very happy hehe. The end result might be more dumping or more speculation in altcoins to try to make up for fiat losses.

@gentlemand. Would exchanges in American soil be the next targets? I reckon Poloniex might be given a free pass because of their cooperation to be compliant with the SEC after Circle bought it. But what about Bittrex? Bittrex expanded in Malta where regulators are cryptospace friendly. Might that be a move to escape American regulators if they need to?

@jeffthebaker. That is a good interview, I hope you make more on developers. But you know us in this forum, we like to poke fun on analysts and the newsmakers hehehe. I know Tom Lee is a good analyst but do you agree on his $20k prediction by end of 2018 for bitcoin? Also, I reckon no one read my comment about this news. EOS is surpressing Ethereum on the market but many of the replies are positive.  |

If the United States government, which does not have jurisdiction in Austria, can seize a small exchange's domain name. Can it also seize the domains of larger exchanges based on foreign soil like Binance?

@harizen. But does Manny not have unresolved problems with the IRS? I might be mistaken but that might be the reason why his last fights were made outside America.

@btyco, @o_e_l_e_o. I reckon in this situation you should think like a speculator and take advantage of the knowledge that the EOS team have already sent all the ETH raised from their ICO to the exchanges. https://diar.co/ico-treasury-balances/Their plan might be, dump their ETH to hold bitcoin and USDT, use that to pump EOS and make it the 2nd most valuable cryptocoin. I would also expect EOS founder Dan Larimer to dump his coins and leave the team within 2 years. He already did it twice before, when he founded Bitshares and Steemit. |

It appears our bitcoin bull turned bitcoin bagholder is presently one of the speculators who was catching all the ETH that were dumped in the market hehehe. In any case, I am more optimistic of his predictions on bitcoin than of Ethereum. EOS is holding $4 billion in ETH. Other ICOs hold more than $100 million in ETH combined. That would be too hard for the ETH market, I reckon.  The last four out of four times it lagged its peers that badly, by two standard deviations, Lee said ether saw a “major trend reversal.”
“We believe Ethereum is about to stage a trend reversal and rally strongly,” Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, said in a note to clients Thursday.
Lee meanwhile “believes sentiment is currently overly negative on ETH.” While it has underperformed its peers by two standard deviations, Lee said that’s “a sign of capitulation.”
The former J.P. Morgan Chief Equity Strategist said the cryptocurrency was “dogged” by a heavy supply being sold from EOS, which built its platform on ethereum then switched it to its own new token. Lee also highlighted questions about its blockchain technology’s road-map and “panic selling” by ICO teams.Read in full http://www.cryptoquicknews.com/beaten-down-cryptocurrency-ether-is-about-to-rally-strongly-says-wall-streets-tom-lee/ |

 That's what you see if you visit the site. Was 1broker based in the USA? If it was based outside of America, then are we underestimating the power of the United States government? I have always thought that the cryptospace was unstoppable if faced versus the full might of the regulators. But not anymore. Any government can take away our freedom to trade if they wanted to, I reckon. |

@Sukut. Agreed. But they are older, fatter and less hungry than during those rising years they had. Manny has become a wealthy politician and Floyd is rich and retired. 2 rich fighters in a ring with nothing to prove will not make a good fight. What more do they want from their fans? More money?

Were those early employees also paid in EOS tokens or had a share of the billion of ETH from their ICO? Might this be another exit scam in the cryptospace? Block.one raised $4 billion and released a buggy platform then the executives resign 1 month after to start another company to compete versus their former company. Also, they left in June. EOS all time high hehehehe.  Four early employees and two contractors have resigned from the Hong Kong cryptocurrency company Block.one to start up StrongBlock, a new blockchain project that is currently under wraps.
David Moss, Thomas Cox, Brian Abramson and Corey J. Lederer, the employees, were the second, third, fourth and fifth to be hired by Block.one, the corporate parent that created the decentralized operating system and application environment EOS.
At Block.one, the four employees took on overwhelmingly technical roles. Moss had been the senior vice president of technology operations, Cox the vice president of product, Abramson the vice president of infrastructure and Lederer the senior director of technology products.
The executives joined last year: Moss and Cox in August and Abramson and Lederer in September. Software developers Jon Eric-Cook and Michael S. Mason, the contractors, began remote work on EOS in the spring.
But according to their LinkedIn profiles, Abramson, Lederer, Cook and Mason quietly left Block.one and EOS in the summer. Moss had already quit by May, a month before Block.one published the EOS main network.
Their exodus has opened up a talent vacuum yet to be filled on Block.one's leading technical team. The company had recently raised billions in investor money and initiated the early stages of a core product roll-out.
Since going live, the EOS network has struggled with defective source code. EOS' bug bounty program awarded a freelance software developer six-figures on the first day of the main network's release at a rate of $10,000 for every error patched.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/early-execs-leave-block-one-the-peter-thiel-backed-crypto-startup-behind-eos/ |

@Kemarit. Many fans will certainly be there and pay overpriced tickets to watch this. The same as there are bagholders who bought tokens from ICO scammers hehehehe.
In any case, we saw how the first fight ended so badly. Floyd and Manny should stop squeezing their fans for more money and should not fight again, I reckon.

@JanpriX. I was not asking about your life or if bitcoin's bullish or bearish sentiment will affect your spending habits. I was asking rickadone, to answer as a bitcoin speculator, how he can be certain that it will go back to $20k and on what he thinks the sentiment might be if bitcoin is considered to be in its fair price of $6500 for the next 50 years.

I am fairly certain that this fight will not be as exciting as everyone expects. The first fight was very disappointing. I reckon, this rematch will be more disappointing. 2 old boxers in the sunset of their careers who are trying to squeeze the fans while they can. They have become the ICO scammers of boxing hehehe.

I think there's a chance Conor McGregor damaged his heart/cardiovascular system from doing cocaine et al. Coke abuse is associated with reduced heart function and decreased capacity to circulate blood. The same can be said of steroids and some PED's. If this is true, it means Conor might need an early finish to win the fight. It also means Conor will get tired much faster than normal if Khabib is able to get the clinch position, hold Conor against the cage or force Conor to repeatedly defend takedowns.
Ok, I reckon I already read that assumption from you before. But in any case, if Conor wins what would that say about Khabib? That someone with a cocaine and an alcohol addiction problem can beat him, or are the stories of his addiction untrue hehehe. Also, is Khabib as tenacious as Nate? No, I reckon. @btc_angela. But how is Khabib's chin? |

Who made those rules and who said that they are holy? I reckon his cult members would say so hehehe.
Is that really their ethos or one slide snuck in there by an individual fuckhead? On the strength of that I'd be leaning towards it being a performance art piece that'll soon be revealed. That individual fuckhead is one of the founders of the B Foundation. I am looking for their website to see who the other founding members are but I saw a another picture that showed some known people in the cryptospace like whalepanda, Elizabeth Stark, Alex Vranova of Satoshi Labs and that guy in the picture together onstage. |
