@tokeweed. Do not be disappointed but Darren Till has made the weight hehehe. He also does not look dehaydrated and he appears to be more assured of himself in the face off.

Also, the women's flyweight championship was cancelled because of medical reasons for Nicco Montaño. There is always a fight cancellation in the UFC hehehe.

No one should be surprised by this that its what will happen eventually. Any business that will still want to stay relevant in the crypto world, will have to either fall in line or stop its services because it will soon be swimming in the pool of fines while the directors are looking at jail times that their lawyers will even advise them to accept plea bargain to get a reduce sentence. Thats how far and powerful the institution called government is.

The governments are finally forcing cryptocurrency exchanges to comply with their needs if not then face certain charges. where is our freedom then? the decentralized world with full privacy that we know it is becoming more centralized than ever, as people were asked to give out their personal information on exchanges today in order to perform certain operations. Angry  

Your freedom? What of their freedom? Shapeshift made a very hard decision to do something that was against their original vision to avoid going to prison. I reckon if you were businessman who was thrown in a similar situation, you too would do what Shapeshift did.

It was your freedom or save the business. A very easy decision for Erik Vorhees, I reckon hehehe.

@gentlemand. It has now become part of bitcoin politics to dislike bitcoin so that the people on the other side of the squabble could start pressuring the developers to do their demands.

But I reckon that Brian Armstrong has not been as loud politically recently.

@Slow death. Might that be Coinbase's plan of a pump and dump?

@estenity. No, that does not happen anymore since last year. There was a long time that Aeon was always about 10% of Monero's price. But Aeon has not followed Monero after its Alphabay pump and I reckon it will never follow it again. We might become bagholders of a forgotten coin hehehe.

Well Thompson the "Gorilla" had return to defend his title, This is a superb fight as the challenger will surely have a match fight with an even odds with both have losses, But I really think that the champion here had the upper hand because of his massive body, But let's just see if it will be the case, If there will be an advantage with Woodley with his massive body, Explosive power, And  a remarkable takedown defense, or Till that has a long reach and athletic body to fight the champion, Well I can't wait to see the match up!

Who is Thompson the Gorilla? If you are talking about Tyron Woodley then be careful. You might be branded as a racist hehe. Also, Darren Till uses the moniker Gorilla.

In any case, Dana's storyboard for Darren might be, win the welterweight championship, then challenge Robert Whitaker for his middleweight belt.

@Traxo. How reliable would your analysis be if it was compared to a real trader's analysis, like Tom Lee's $20,000 by the end of 2018 prediction?

We have witnessed many random people come and try but not one of them has predicted the market reliably.
7647  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-09-07] Coinbase Eyes ETF With Help From BlackRock on: September 07, 2018, 01:24:56 AM
ETF watchers who are fixated that this might cause bitcoin's redemption from the low price of $6000 should be happy again hehehe. I reckon Coinbase might have the right connections to get this one through and supported by a company that manages trillions of dollars, no less. Shocked



As reported by Business Insider, the cryptocurrency exchange provider has been liaising with BlackRock, a U.S. investment management company with some $6 trillion in assets under its purview. Individuals close with the matter said that Coinbase has sought guidance from BlackRock’s blockchain working group.

While Coinbase spoke directly with employees involved with BlackRock’s blockchain arm, the exchange is after the organization’s expertise in legacy markets. The firm has made a name for itself with its focus on hedge funds and ETFs; iShares, its most popular suite of ETFs, for instance, accounted for $1.41 trillion of BlackRock’s assets under management in 2017.

If Coinbase actually moves forward with an ETF filing, the product would flesh out the exchange monolith’s institutional-grade offerings, which include custody and index fund services for accredited investors.

But the ETF would need to get approved first. What’s more, Coinbase isn’t the only runner in the race. Currently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s top ranking officials are reviewing nine bitcoin ETFs that were rejected at the staffing level earlier this summer.

Here's how you win against Roger Ver -- you watch his previous "debates" and list out his talking points.

He sticks to the same ones, regardless of where the actual topic starts.

He also is technically incompetent, so if you point out a flaw and he can't counter - instant points to you. The moment Ver is losing however, he usually reverts to the "Hallowed satoshi paper" as his defense. Its simplistic ideological smokescreen to get out of tight spots.

So in short, if you slam him with technical reasons, he doesn't have a leg to stand on -- and I'm talking more than just the usual mantra he spouts about "big blocks are better".

For instance, abstracting any of these arguments would absolutely floor him -- https://medium.com/@melik_87377/lightning-network-enables-unicast-transactions-in-bitcoin-lightning-is-bitcoins-tcp-ip-stack-8ec1d42c14f5

Or any of the scaling points made here -- (title says Ethereum but it also matters to Bcash) -- https://hackernoon.com/the-ethereum-blockchain-size-has-exceeded-1tb-and-yes-its-an-issue-2b650b5f4f62

But I doubt anyone will prepare enough to take Roger Ver down, only because his own incompetence and idiocy is doing it for us. Being surrounded by a pack of liars and con-men have become a greater liability than Ver realized, and the outcome is hilarious.


The only way to win versus a liar and a sociopath is to ignore them. I am not certain why Jimmy Song wanted to waste his time and give Roger some media exposure by engaging to this challenge.

Week 4 has ended!
Hello everyone, payments for week 4 have been sent in this transaction . Have enough funds for another week, but should be getting another 1.1 BTC in escrow since the team is going on the blockchain cruise.

Nothing to change with the rules/participants.

Questions are welcome!

@galgoczi. It would be best for you if you do not use HitBTC. I have already heard many complaints specifically from the Monero community. They have marked that exchange as off limits from the last time I saw their reddit side panel.
7651  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-04] Roger Ver and Jimmy Song to Debate Bitcoin on Blockchain Cruise on: September 06, 2018, 01:27:36 AM
I reckon no one can win an argument versus Roger Ver. The man is mentally sharp and he has a gift for manipulating the flow of the debate. Also, Samson Mow walked away from him from a panel because Samson knew he cannot win.

In any case, will it be shown live? The loser should also be required to jump off the boat hehehe.
7652  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin drops 2% in the month of September on: September 06, 2018, 01:13:03 AM
Yes direct reason is that Goldman and Sachs are delaying launch of his crypto trading tool
Lets see will bitcoin defend 6800$ and will rise again or we will go down
Personally i think will be yet another attack on 7500$

Is that really the direct reason? There must be a better reason than that, I reckon. That reason also appears like it came from a small bitcoin news media site hehehe.

Maybe this was a delayed dump that kept occuring every month after the CME's bitcoin futures expiry.

The altcoin subforum also needs more moderators. Everyone go there and try refreshing the page. The spam bumps are too much. If I start a new thread, it will be buried to the next page 1 minute after.

Agreed. It might be more possible for Lewis to go to Ferrari to partner with Sebastian than Mercedes signing 2 star drivers hehe. I reckon Ferrari has done it before.

7658  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-03] Tom Lee: Bitcoin to Hit $20k in 2018 Despite Struggle of Emerging M on: September 05, 2018, 01:56:09 AM
Already September and it's a few months to the end of the year, the price is currently at $ 7300, we only have a possibility of a price increase in the range of $ 10,000, I speak of a possible approval of ETF on September 30 , but see that even if an ETF were approved on September 30, I do not believe the price would reach $ 20,000. no chance to see $ 20,000 this year. I think Tom Lee needs to give his arm to cheer that his price forecast is very exaggerated and has no chance of becoming a reality this year

Tom Lee missed a point with Consensus 2018 correlation prediction...

A lot of analysts failed their price prediction for this year, just see that a lot of them do not show their faces on the bitcoin news channels.



Am I the only one becoming bullish in the forum? Whenever I bring up Tom Lee's prediction, everyone appears to be skeptical about it. Less bearish, but very skeptical. There is nothing negative or wrong with that, but maybe this is the best time to buy when there is blood on the streets.

@LTU_btc. In what year will Sebastian Vettel's contract in Ferrari end? I reckon he might need another extension to win a championship with them and before he transfers to Mercedes hehehehe.
