@BitcoinNewbie15. Have you learned nothing hehehe. George R.R. Martin is known to change the story when the fans have already gotten accustomed to one suggestion of what might happen.

I reckon it might be an unhappy ending. The Night King must rule because a long winter is required to destroy the old realm and give way to the new.

@LesPristy. Can you tell us more? Your website, Github and where to contact you? Is this a personal project or is there a company behind this?

In any case, call me aroused in curiousity hehehe.

@LeGaulois. That is easy to say today, but I reckon it was difficult to accept for many people at that time. When I posted some news articles on the coming bear market during January, many responded so negatively to the articles and they were telling me to stop spreading doomsday stories.

Also, there is the same negative reaction when I post bullish news articles today hehehe.

7864  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-07-15] Kraken trolls Coinbase hehehe on: July 15, 2018, 12:23:03 AM
It appears that there are well positioned people in the cryptospace that have not lost their sense of humor despite their high standing. Yes Jessie Powell, you hehehe.

Also, this is simply a crafty effort to do or achieve market manipulation by Coinbase. It deserves more than trolling.



Coinbase, the largest US-based digital currency exchange, has officially announced that it is “exploring the addition” of five new cryptocurrencies to its platform. The five cryptocurrencies being considered are Cardano (ADA), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Stellar Lumens (XLM), Zcash (ZEC), and 0x (ZRX).

Coinbase has come under fire in the past — particularly regarding its listing of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which preceded allegations of insider trading.

Despite the apparent attempt at remaining transparent, the statement of intent has led many to question why the exchange giant is even making an announcement of its “exploration” at all.


Coinbase competitor Kraken — a US-based cryptocurrency exchange and “the world’s largest bitcoin exchange in euro volume and liquidity” — nevertheless took the opportunity to troll the San Francisco-based industry leader, tweeting:

Exciting and important revelation for the community today. Kraken has been contemplating the exploration of maybe adding over 1600 new coins, pending the outcome of our highly sophisticated review process. For a glimpse of the possibilities: https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/

7865  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-07-14] Is America working to be great again in bitcoin? on: July 14, 2018, 11:55:36 PM
I reckon America's slow renewed acceptance of bitcoin mining, trading and commerce will make the country the leader in cryptospace dominance. I also reckon that it will make America great again hehehe.

In any case, the biggest loser is China. Their chance for cryptospace dominace fell on their lap, but what did they do? They will play catch up again.



July 12, 2018, state regulators approved a new billing framework that permits a local utility supplier in Massena to review individual supply contracts in a way that shields other users from price changes. Under this framework, mining operations will be able to individually negotiate their supply contracts and prices, which gives them a route out of the blanket increase for miners that was approved earlier.

In a statement released on July 12, New York State Department of Public Service Chair John Rhodes said:

“We must ensure that business customers pay a fair price for the electricity that they consume. However, given the abundance of low-cost electricity in Upstate New York, there is an opportunity to serve the needs of existing customers and to encourage economic development in the region.”

@LogitechMouse. Which analyst said that? I reckon he has a talent for stating what is clear and self evident. If he was a cryptocoin analyst, he might be ignored by the bitcoin news media for making very boring predictions hehehe.

Also, why was this fight promoted in Malaysia? Is Manny having problems with the IRS again?
7867  Economy / Speculation / Re: TenX Co-Founder Stands Behind $60,000 Bitcoin Price Prediction on: July 13, 2018, 10:52:46 PM
Who gives a shit about outrageous predictions?  If you recall the huge bull market in precious metals that ended in 2011, there were "experts" predicting $10,000 silver and $500,000 gold, and every increment up to those insane values.  People were predicting the Dow would soon be at 36,000 back in 2000.  And on and on.  

My guess is that individuals who make these calls have a vested interest in being bullish, i.e., they have some of whatever it is they're pumping.  That kind of stuff is commonplace in the Speculation section, where people who own bitcoin are always predicting it's going to the moon, wherever that is.

Don't listen to this hype, because that's all it is.  I can guarantee you the dude in the OP who's predicting bitcoin is going to $60,000 didn't predict we'd fall from $20,000 to where we're at now.

But he predicted this fall during the high back in December, which might make his statement deserving of more attention. In any case, his prediction is mentioned in the article which I highlighted.

Also, why did Emin Gun Sirer receive this email? hehehe

7874  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-07-10] Joseph Stiglitz says BTC could drop to 100$ on: July 13, 2018, 01:17:49 AM

The biggest banks in the world participate in money laundering, tax evasion, and as we have seen during the housing bubble, issuance of scam investments. If you know what you are doing, bitcoin is a ledger that anyone can use for money laundering, tax evasion, and for issuance of scam investments in counterparty.

I reckon that Nobel prize economist is paid to spread FUD because the big banks like HSBC do not like competition in their criminal activities hehehe.



Governments are fine with tax evasion and money laundering when some high profile officials get their cut. Bankers and said officials hate Bitcoin because they don't want average joe to do those things, without him the whole system would crash. So, they ask economists to write FUD against Bitcoin in exchange for grants or bribes or whatever.


Agreed, good comment! I really am taking that possibility for granted.  In any case, yes, the cryptospace is giving power to the people that also gives them a capacity that requires small effort but achieves good results without needing an authoritative 3rd party.
7875  Economy / Speculation / Re: TenX Co-Founder Stands Behind $60,000 Bitcoin Price Prediction on: July 13, 2018, 01:09:24 AM
Is there any other area of finance that's so clogged with pointless predictions and said predictions get tons of coverage? I can't think of anything. I guess the silly price moves are still the main narrative.

Right now $60,000 feels silly. $600 also feels silly. Both are well within the realms of possibility.

I reckon the US stock market is also clogged with many wrong information. Watch CNBC and Bloomberg hehehe.

They should issue warnings that none of the information should be taken as financial advice.

7878  Economy / Speculation / TenX Co-Founder Stands Behind $60,000 Bitcoin Price Prediction on: July 12, 2018, 02:00:54 AM
This is surely the prediction that might make Tom Lee's eyeballs pop out while jumping for joy. If he reads this article, I reckon he might also say finally, a bull crazier than I am! High 5 brother!. hehehe

How is Losp standing by on his very bullish prediction? Is this desperation or denial?



Between late December 2017 and the start of 2018, numerous stakeholders delivered their BTC price predictions for the year. Suffice to say that many of the optimistic projections have come up short. A massive crypto-bleed has seen token prices plummet since the middle of January 2018.

Hosp, like many if his colleagues, predicted that Bitcoin would set a new all-time high (ATH). Speaking recently to CNBC from the grounds of the RISE tech summit taking place in Hong Kong, he said:

Back then, December, [the] price was at $20,000 all-time high. I predicted for 2018; we’re going to see $5,000 and $60,000. So, $5,000, we pretty much hit it, so let’s see if we can do the $60,000. I’m still quite confident.

Bitcoin has gone below the $6,000 mark on three occasions in 2018, once in February and twice in June. However, the top-ranked crypto hasn’t quite bottomed out at $5,000. The lowest BTC price level for the year remains $5,700.

Hosp believes that if Bitcoin breaks the $10,000 barrier by August, then things could potentially become interesting. According to the TenX chief:

If we see over $10,000 by the end of August, we can see the $20,000, then the press, the media is going to come in, and we can still see the $60,000 this year.

So yeah this keynesian piece of economist calls for a Bitcoin completely destroyed...

“You cannot have a means of payment that is based on secrecy when you’re trying to create a transparent banking system. If you open up a hole like bitcoin then all the nefarious activity will go through that hole, and no government can allow that.”
“People in power will move to regulate anonymous transactions. That you can be sure of. Bitcoin could easily be worth just $100 in 10 years.”
“I believe very strongly that countries like the United States could and should move to a digital currency … so that you would have the ability to trace this kind of corruption.”

7880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICO platforms and DEX hacks really exit scams by the ICO founders? on: July 11, 2018, 03:08:48 AM
@tsaroz. Then the Bancor exchange is open to more regulatory risks and, in time, it will die because it cannot win the competition versus the other exchanges in the long term.

If they are part of the naive who think they are doing something good in the cryptospace, then they will lose money and will have wasted their time and their energy. But I reckon if they are scammers, then the quickest way to get money out for themselves is to exit scam by pretending they were hacked. Also remember that they placed the exploited hidden backdoor on the exchange themselves.

Another platform that has a rumored backdoor placed by their developers is Augur.
