7621  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum (ETH) Continues To Underperform on: September 14, 2018, 01:54:22 AM
Well that is some theory  Grin

Nobody really knows but it could be true though that EOS have been liquidating a lot of eth they got from the ICO.

There were transactions posted in an article 3 or maybe 4 months ago that showed Ethereum wallets, controlled by the EOS development team, were sending ETH to Bitfinex. Also the price has been going down since those ETH were sent.

It might only be coincedence but it would be also stupid not to speculate that the EOS development team is not dumping ETH. Also what would their next step be after dumping all their ETH and now holding USDT and bitcoins? Pump EOS, I reckon.

@krach. I predict Canelo will win by points. He will make small changes from the first fight, having tested Golovkin's chin, and will not be as punchy anymore, I reckon.

@gentlemand. Was there a deposit to a shit exchange? I reckon that the article was only speculating that the movements of those coins, by the whales, might have caused the selloffs.

There was also a large movement of 30,000 bitcoins that came from Bittrex to an unknown wallet in block 541,229.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/9d18b7a097162ad96d3e12bd13c8e241bdb954b18deee968266e5ae36f642f39



Should that be speculated as bullish by Bloomberg? Not clickbaity enough, I reckon hehehe.

@smooth. Hehe I must have missed it or unconciously ignored it. I was satisfied in using the command line before in the old software, and I also have stopped running my node after the hard fork. Sorry.

The price of Aeon has not been so encouraging.

@Juggy777. It might be a gamble, but it might also be the right time to give this young Ferrari academy driver an opportunity, I reckon. Sebastian might leave after another contract extension, and hiring another experienced driver, besides Lewis, might also be a gamble. Who there is left?

Also, a Max Verstappen versus Charles Leclerc excitement will be good for this sport.

Mercedes should also leave Valterri and give Esteban Ocon an opportunity hehehe. 3 young drivers in 3 top teams.

Hodl brothers! In Vitalik We Trust! F*ck dirty whales plays and ICO's dumpers! You must just remain calm and patient (by 2021 maybe  Grin)

The biggest ICO in Ethereum is EOS which is holding $4 billion in ETH, not in their wallets but held in exchanges ready to be liquidated or are being liquidated to buy USDT and bitcoins.

https://diar.co/ico-treasury-balances/

I reckon once finished, they will move to step 2. Pump EOS to 2nd in coinmarketcap.

That debate was very embarassing. But more embarassing for Jimmy Song. Why did he let himself be pulled down to that level?

Also, if they wanted a proper debate then there should be a moderator. My candidate for that would be Vitalik hehehe.

@TraderTimm. Did you watch it?

Is there a GUI wallet for this coin yet? Or a way to hold Aeon that doesn't require a terminal window?

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

Is that official?? I must be so very isolated. After the unfortunate events during the code rebase with the stoffu versus the Aevengers situation, I stopped going to the Aeon subbreddit.

I thought of another ending. Jon and Daenerys retiring to Pentos after the war to live in a peaceful land and let their son grow in a happy place.

I reckon Jon would not want his son and future children to play the game of thrones like his uncle Ned Stark hehe.

It was clearly shown that Tyron's right hand was very much faster than Darren Till's ability to move his head away from it hehehe.

In any case, he showed more class in his defeat than his victories. Stay true Darren!

7631  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-10] Goldman Sachs Plans to Launch Bitcoin Derivative on: September 11, 2018, 02:09:08 AM
Martin Chavez indicates that clients want a Bitcoin derivative, specifically saying “The next stage of the exploration is what we call non-deliverable forwards, these are over the counter derivatives, they’re settled in U.S. dollars and the reference price is the bitcoin-U.S. dollar price established by a set of exchanges”. Goldman Sachs is already settling Bitcoin futures contracts from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) since May 2018. This new derivatives product Martin Chavez is talking about is like an in-house version of cash-settled Bitcoin futures.

yawn. looks like more of the same---just cash-settled futures. if the contracts are non-deliverable, then no one will use these instruments as a way to buy or sell BTC. like the regulated futures markets that already exist, it won't affect the spot market.

Quote
From the perspective of custody, we don’t yet see an institutional-grade custodial solution for bitcoin, we’re interested in having that exist and it’s a long road”.

i wonder what their criteria is. i know coinbase's recently launched product is marketed as institutional-grade. same with bitgo and xapo. bit insulting for them, eh? Tongue

It is insulting but is he correct, or is his ignorance making him fear what he does not know?

Or maybe Goldman Sachs is secretly developing their own institutional-grade custodial solution? I reckon using institutional-grade security slogans might be good for their marketing strategy for their planned trading desk.

@AdamT. There was an unofficial GUI before the code rebase which some people have gotten to work in Windows. But now I am not sure if there is a new one, but I heard there is one that was forked from Monero's GUI.

Also try asking in Aeon's Reddit page. They might know the answer. Aeoners in bitcointalk are isolated beings hehehe.
7633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: September 11, 2018, 12:49:44 AM
I made this thread to discuss EOS' role in Ethereum's market fall. A fall which is abnormally bigger than most of the top 10 cryptocoins.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025375.0

But it was buried after 1 minute of spam bumps hehehe.

In any case, I hope all of you can share your theories and some remarks on the situation.

7635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum (ETH) Continues To Underperform on: September 10, 2018, 02:16:49 AM
I offer a 3rd theory.

EOS, which has massed $4 billion from their year long ICO, are liquidating their ETH to buy USDT and bitcoins, which also causes the USDT issuer to issue more because of high demand. In time once all the ETH the EOS team is holding have been liquidated, they will move to step 2. Pump EOS from the billions in USDT and bitcoin they control and make EOS the 2nd most valuable cryptocoin.

Where can I download an easy to use EOS wallet? hehehehe.



Ethereum’s dismal performance has led some to ask what is causing such a drastic sell-off. At the time of writing, there currently are two primary theories that attempt to explain why the price of Ether is tumbling.

First, the introduction of a new BitMEX ETH perpetual swap contract, which allowed traders to short the price of ETH with up to 100x leverage in a similar manner to the XBT (BTC) BitMEX contract. As pointed out by Cryptoeazy on Twitter, since the arrival of the perpetual contract in early August, the price of Ether has fallen by 57%.

Although this hasn’t been confirmed, this statistic has led some to speculate that the arrival of the contract allowed pessimistic traders to weigh down on the price of ETH. Twitter user CryptoBat wrote: “Bitmex is the worst thing that has happened to ETH.”

Secondly but not least is the ICO sell-off factor, with many claiming that projects have begun to liquidate their war chests, which are often full of Ether, into fiat, leading to the current collapse of the market, not only ETH. As per data from Santiment, a foremost crypto analytics provider, projects have spent over 100,000 ETH in the past week, likely selling their holdings on exchanges en-masse, logically leading to a market drop like the one seen this week.

@pitiflin. The multiple scenarios story might only be a bluff, I reckon. What do the writers have to continue doing from season 7 to the final season? There is only way, no more politics and drama.

Also, the dates might be revealed on winter hehe.
The actors have apparently said that multiple scenarios have been shot, but Massie Williams did tell in a talk show that she knows the ending of GoT.

I read an article recently and GoT is more likely to be released after May 2019 and not before that. We still have a LONG way to go.

Jon snow - Don't hate me, but he got his fame for couple of seasons now. He also died once and as much drama this series brings, I guess his head will be cut off - rip Jon Snow Cry
Tyrion Lannister - Everyone I know who watches the series likes him. Therefore for the sake of surprise he won't be the ruler, nor he will die either. Probably hides in a wine cellar for the rest of his life Cool
Sansa Stark - Has gone through a lot. In case she would be the chosen one, she would hand it over to Arya - 100%.

The ruler:
Daenarys Targaryen - Too obvious? But she got those dragons Cheesy If anyone plays Counter-Strike, it's just too over powered like CZ
The Night King - This can't be happening, right? Huh
Arya Stark - Her story has been building for a long time, just like Jon Snow's. Now it's her time to shine Wink

Cheers,
Karl on a lunch break
A possible outcome could be Danaerys's child, and Tyrion to be their mentor.

Arya definitely won't be the Ruler, she'll probably go back to the Faceless men after the War between the whitewalkers and humans.

Danaerys mostly won't survive till the end.

Yes there might be multiple scenarios but nothing that would largely alter the ending, I reckon. What in the story else is there to tell?

@Bitcoincasino.io. Watch the season 8 leaks in the Talkingthrones channel in Youtube. It will change your prediction hehehe.

@pitiflin - I could live with that, Tyrion has shown his abilities Cool

@bbc.reporter - Watched couple of them... not sure what to think or believe anymore.
In a way I expect big surprises, but then again someone mentioned earlier that it will be just full blown action for 6 episodes Grin

Cheers,
Karl

But they were very well made and appeared to be almost like the real storyboards. In any case, everyone should watch all 8 of them then post all your analysis. It might help us choose the right answer and win the bet hehehe.

@bitfocus. I am so very impressed in Tom Lee's trading analytic mind and his technical abilities in predicting bitcoin's price. Someone should inform him in social media about this and let him tell everyone I told you so hehehe.

Yes a billion people more pulled into the cryptospace to be tricked, scammed and broken after they lose everything. But some people will make it alive hopefully hehehe. The world's markets always end with winners and losers and the cryptomarket is no different. Everything is fair and everyone is fair game hehe.

Also, the cryptospace is already becoming cyclical like a traditional economy, I reckon. If you lose money now, you have a chance to make it in the next cycle.

7639  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-09-10] Goldman Sachs Plans to Launch Bitcoin Derivative on: September 10, 2018, 01:05:25 AM
Is Goldman Sachs' Martin Chavez correct in saying that there are no industrial grade custodial solution for bitcoin? The article also mentioned Xapo, Bitgo and Coinbase to be those solutions, but I reckon it might be more advisable if Goldman Sachs hire developers and build their own private solution.

In any case, if they hire me, I will teach them how to use Electrum hehehe.



Martin Chavez indicates that clients want a Bitcoin derivative, specifically saying “The next stage of the exploration is what we call non-deliverable forwards, these are over the counter derivatives, they’re settled in U.S. dollars and the reference price is the bitcoin-U.S. dollar price established by a set of exchanges”. Goldman Sachs is already settling Bitcoin futures contracts from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) since May 2018. This new derivatives product Martin Chavez is talking about is like an in-house version of cash-settled Bitcoin futures.

It would be much better for Bitcoin, and much more groundbreaking, if the product Goldman Sachs plans to launch uses physical Bitcoins. However, Martin Chavez says “Physical bitcoin is something tremendously interesting, and tremendously challenging. From the perspective of custody, we don’t yet see an institutional-grade custodial solution for bitcoin, we’re interested in having that exist and it’s a long road”.

Lebron signed for the Lakers because of his frustration on his last 2 years in his return to the Cavaliers, I reckon. This is the same as the time he signed to the Miami Heat. It is a decision of making the championship again, a decision for money and it might also be a decision for his own personal happiness, or his family's happiness.
