The king is back!

@Netnox. Conor was not behaving like a child. Behaving like that is part of his strategy to get in the head of his opponents. But the fighter that it did not work on was Nate.

In any case, it was Khabib who behaved like a child because he tried to answer back hehehe.

Also, Conor is a good sportsman in winning and losing. Watch his interviews behind the stage after his fights. They are very respectful of his opponents and very humble.

@LeGaulois. The FUD from those 2 economists have been exposed, I reckon hehehe.

Also, I wish I can find the articles with the explanations on why more USDT were issued. Everyone needs to read them because all the replies show that they do not understand why more USDT was issued.

But to summarize those articles, they illustrated that more USDT are issued during the times when the price of bitcoin was going down because there was more demand for USDT. To maintain the peg of 1 USDT - $1, more USDT have to be issued. That's a simple summary, but the articles also expain the use of arbitrage.
7683  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-09-24] B Foundation’ Announced at Honey Badger 2018 Bitcoin Conference on: September 24, 2018, 02:31:50 AM
What would the diffence of this bitcoin foundation be from the previous The Bitcoin Foundation? I reckon that this might be another mistake. This new foundation might have already said that they do not lead and represent bitcoin, but what are they there for? Is it not to market bitcoin, and to meet with institutions that are interested in using bitcoin? If those institutions see that the members of this new foundation are the people to talk to, doesn't that turn them into representatives?

How long would it take until the community would begin to look at them as the leaders?



Alex Vranova of Satoshi Labs and Trezor fame announced The B Foundation, a new body that will be focused on coordinating general bitcoin adoption and research developments, a la the model of ETH’s Ethereum Foundation.

In a transcript written up by LedgerX’s Bryan Bishop, Vranova made her case for why such a foundation could be fruitful adoption-wise, commenting:

“I have to say that centralized efforts are much more effective. If you have an Ethereum Foundation with a marketing department and promotions and creates beautiful sleek-looking material and produces materials, it’s much more effective in the short-term. I spent a great deal of time in the last year or year and a half visiting many blockchain events to see what’s really happening and what’s happening outside of our cute little bitcoin bubble that we like because it’s cozy.”

@Slow death. Are those your final predictions? I will quote and highlight them, then let's revisit this thread on the end of December hehe.

When it came to Tom Lee, nothing negative would convince him from abandoning his end of the year prediction of bitcoin reaching $20k - $25k. A new high.

let's be honest, he failed in his prediction. There is no chance of the price reaching more than $ 15,000 this year

Whilst that prediction is definitely possible if we see some sort of major bullish outbreak near the end of the year

ETF was postponed, what else would cause a big price increase? I see nothing



Also, the ETF would not be the only cause of a big price increase. Bitcoin's volatility by itself caused by simple speculation and increased by sheep panic buying should not be underestimated.

Made by tyuvvdgzkp. AEON is getting really scarce.

We passed millionth block and under 3k AEON daily emission all this month. Two more reasons to be excited.

Scarcity by itself will not help in increasing Aeon's value, I reckon. We need it to be traded in more exchanges to make it easier for traders to provide liquidity, that will also make it easier for longterm holders to invest in the coin.

What happened to Bittrex? I heard the wallet is offline again. That is our only good liquidity provider hehehe.

@slocker. I reckon that time during Michael Schumacher, Ferrari rebuilt their team then, from year 2000, had the engine advantage, the technical advantage, the financial advantage and the political advantage. Yes, formula 1 is full of politics that include proposing rules that would give a team the advantage for a whole season.

Also, they had Ross Brawn as their technical director.
7687  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tom Lee, from bitcoin bull to bitcoin bagholder on: September 21, 2018, 01:33:22 AM
@timerland. But $20k - $25k is only 3x - 4x away from bitcoin's price today and if you take its volatility during time of excitement into consideration, Tommy Lee's prediction might still be possible. If the bulls come back on middle of November, I speculate that it might still also be possible.
7688  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-18]Against Fake Volume Allegation: OKEx Distributes $5M Trading Commiss on: September 21, 2018, 01:22:03 AM
Hmmm, this doesn't read like a sponsored press release at all! Wink

The proof is based on the fact that a share of commissions are given to OKB (OKEx platform token) holders. They claim $5M gets distributed, but how much of it is just distributed back to themselves? I don't see the token listed on Coinmarketcap, and I can't find anything about its distribution.

Further down in the press release:

Quote
The total available supply of OKB is 1 billion, some of which will be locked up with those programs meanwhile the value of OKB will be added. 60% of the circulation amount will be given to OKEx users for community building through marketing campaigns, which enables OKB holders to enjoy various privileges and the increasing profit for long term.

Sounds legit... Roll Eyes

Is that your first impression? Mine too hehehe. Certainly no one paid them to post that news and defend the exchange. Preposterous!

In any case, a real journalist would investigate why the fake volume in cryptocoin exchanges are being done. Is there are connection to money laundering similar to what Alexander Ginnick was doing in BTCe?

Then why does the bitcoin news media still give significance to what China has to say about the cryptospace? Readers should ignore them.
It's not about China, India or Russia, but the sources of that news. ccn.com and other sites re-post or falsify a lot of stories to manipulate the price.
We all know that news plays a vital role in investors' emotions and therefore in their decisions, so investors often look for the press to see the direction of the market.
These sites publish news consistent with the direction of the market if it bumps, re-post positive news and vice versa.
There is also a distortion of some news, such as what happened to the rise of Bitcoin in Iran.

Agreed and there I said readers should ignore them.

The bitcoin news media might be running out of new material to report. They are resorting to FUD and clickbait to keep us entertained hehe.
7692  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-17] John Mcafee: Decentralized Exchanges Will Trigger ‘Largest Economi on: September 20, 2018, 01:31:42 AM
Hello Mr. McAfee. This is not 2014 - 2015 anymore when decentralize everything was still a popular among the naive developers, which was mostly every developer, in the cryptospace.

He is 4 to 5 years too late. That stage of innocence is gone and it will never come back.

But do you not think that as things get more centralised it becomes clearer why people were excited about it in the first place? Humans in general are stupid and short sighted. Only after they've been raped do they tend to realise why non rapey concepts might benefit them.

However, we have also made a hard realization that not every network or system is required to be decentralized and to issue its own tokens.

You have started investing in the cryptospace longer than me, you know that this is true.
7693  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tom Lee, from bitcoin bull to bitcoin bagholder on: September 20, 2018, 01:20:02 AM
you can't call him a bag holder unless you think bitcoin is never going to rise and only if you think bitcoin is going to continue to fall forever and never recover. would you call him a bag holder still when bitcoin reaches $100k? $1 million?
generally a bag holder is referred to someone holding bags of worthless shit that will continue losing value. like altcoin bag holders.

Agreed, but you know what I mean. A bagholder is when a trader is stuck and cannot sell his bags unless he is willing to take a big loss hehe.

@Kemarit. I am not trolling. The news and my comments are serious. But the picture was meant to be funny hehehe.
7694  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-18] China Central Bank Warns of Cryptocurrency, ICO Risks in Public Not on: September 19, 2018, 03:00:06 AM
This is what I want to know. Are the ICOs and the whole cryptospace banned in China or not? Did the PBOC not already ban all exchanges, all kinds of cryptocoins from circulating, ICOs included? Didn't the Chinese government also start banning miners in their country?

Then why does the bitcoin news media still give significance to what China has to say about the cryptospace? Readers should ignore them.

When it came to Tom Lee, nothing negative would convince him from abandoning his end of the year prediction of bitcoin reaching $20k - $25k. A new high.

In this article, he was quoted singing a different tune. Has our bitcoin bull transformed into a bitcoin bagholder? The psychological change is very clear. He is also human after all hehehe.

In any case, I agree in his new sentiment. It might be a perfect time to start buying again.



Bitcoin is not dead, and the best investment opportunities arise when the picture is not bright. This is how Tom Lee, Co-founder of Fundstrat and expert analyst of the crypto markets thinks.

According to Lee, the current value of Bitcoin represents an excellent buying opportunity, and it would be a mistake to miss the train:

“The question you have to ask yourselves is, ‘Now that crypto is down here, is it appropriate to be bullish or bearish?’ And I just want to absolutely point out it is a mistake to be bearish when you’re already down. This is like looking at stocks in December 2008 and deciding you wanted to become secularly bearish, even though the bear market was ending.”

“So I think the bear market has largely run its course in crypto, and it’s been healthy. It’s been resetting capital. It’s resetting investor expectations. But most importantly, the only time you can really make money in a big way is to buy when investors aren’t buying. That’s the real opportunity."

@Febo. It is hard to be excited on a cryptocoin that is really trading only on 1 exchange and on very low volume. Also, the threat that it might be delisted is always there.

Our developement team is literally 2 people and only coding part time because they are full time developers of Monero.

I love Aeon, but we are not going forward.

@Juggy777. However the engineers, the pit crew and all the rest in a formula 1 team also have an influence on a driver's race performance. If Lewis and Sebastian were on opposite teams this season, then Sebastian would be 40 points or more ahead of Lewis, I reckon.

In any case, I feel sorry for Sebastian. It is another season of hardwork but no prize.

We had attacks at BetKing recently where the site was offline for hours at a time.

Cloudflare on it's own is useless for DDOS attacks as I'm sure you know.

I ended up writing some code that helps a lot and had no issues since if you want to discuss.

Assuming that it's not something more than DDOS.

Good to see you players can still withdraw.

I would advise to stay away from Dean Nolan. His Betking website is as good as his own reputation: zero

If he wants to give something "for free" be careful because he usually has a bigger meaning behind it. He claims to have written code, what a fool.

Look the way the Betking ICO was run. He pocketed millions while investors were never able to recoup their investment, they never had any chance. Is it worth trusting him? Of course not.


You have to stop this or keep it in the proper threads where they should be. We already know what you said, and spamming your message is becoming very irritating now.

It will also begin to work against you because some people will start to question your intentions.

@estenity. Risk is everywhere in the cryptospace market, but there is especially more risk in Aeon because we are listed in only 3 exchanges, which the 2 of them are bad exchanges that might pull the wallet offline anytime.

Also, I heard that HitBTC's Aeon wallet is down for weeks already. It is a very bad time to be an Aeon holder.
