@Boafeng. That news article is hype. Do not trust anything positive written on the fight before any fight. You will go home very disappointed hehehe. Remember Floyd versus Manny, or Floyd versus Conor McGregor? Both fights were hyped to be super fights, they pleased many people, but ended failing to impress the real fans.
It's all part of the promotion of the upcoming fight. You don't write negative news before a fight or else no one will watch. We can only hear negative news after the fight. Remember Floyd versus Manny, or Floyd versus Conor McGregor? Both fights were hyped to be super fights, they pleased many people, but ended failing to impress the real fans.
The fight between Floyd and Manny did not need an advertising as their names are popular enough even to non-fight fans all over the world. That fight was not hyped, this upcoming fight maybe.  Yes, hype the fight and tell no one of the hidden shoulder injury that Manny had before the fight because it is negative news. Also, for a fight that did not need advertising because of the big names, it was a very uneventful. It was overhyped. |

I reckon you 2 do not have experience in Dana's UFC storyboards yet? hehehe
Cormier's call out was scripted. A money fight versus Brock Lesnar is Daniel's reward after winning the heavyweight championship, and to Dana's relief because he can now make a new storyboard after Daniel versus Brock.
Daniel Cormier versus Jon Jones in heavyweight should be the possible next in line for the UFC.

The attacks from the mainstream news media have been very constantly done in the past 2 weeks. Why? Is it because bitcoin will not die? The reversal of the bear marker is near? Some people in power are threatened? But I reckon it will not be long until everyone will start clinging to the phrase if you cannot beat them, join them hehehe.  Big was people’s surprise when Microsoft began accepting Bitcoin payments a while ago. Although that was a positive development, it was evident the company never really saw any merit in cryptocurrency for the long term. Its failure to address most concerns regarding the removal of the Bitcoin option clearly showed that this payment option wasn’t of major concern to the technology giant.
Those rumors first began surfacing a few months ago. Bitcoin enthusiasts tried to find the BTC payment option, but it had been removed from the website. Instead, Microsoft had quietly moved the option to the user account screen, where BTC deposits could be made to top up one’s Microsoft account. It still had the same effect as direct payments, even though it was also a clear sign of what was yet to come.
According to a new Reddit post, anyone trying to top up their Microsoft account with Bitcoin will encounter major issues. Even though there are still links to top up one’s account with Bitcoin, the deposits are seemingly not being credited to users’ Microsoft accounts. This is apparently because the company has stopped accepting BTC transactions altogether, even though the payment option is still visible at this stage.Read in full https://nulltx.com/microsoft-allegedly-stops-accepting-bitcoin-once-again/ |

The problem is not when people in power start requiring very strict regulations on bitcoins, but the enforcement of those regulations. They plainly do not have the manpower and the technical capability to do it. Also, the people in power should first stop the money laundering ring that involves some of the biggest banks in the world before attacking bitcoin. Or maybe the big banks' monopoly on money laundering is threatened by bitcoin? hehehe  Three of the world’s most respected economists have led a joint attack on bitcoin, claiming the digital currency will be “regulated into oblivion” as governments globally move to clamp down on money laundering.
Joseph Stiglitz, Nouriel Roubini and Kenneth Rogoff have renewed their assault on the cryptocurrency believing it will be subject to further sharp and damaging falls as authorities crack down on criminals using bitcoin to launder money and avoid taxes.
Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, told Financial News: “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.”
The price of the digital currency has fallen sharply from a high of almost $20,000 in December last year to below $6,000 at the end of June. Rogoff, the former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, said government regulation would trigger further steep falls.
“Bitcoin could easily be worth just $100 in 10 years,” said the Harvard University professor. “People in power will move to regulate anonymous transactions. That you can be sure of.”

@smooth. Is the plan for Aeon is to keep following most of Monero's development and only copy some of them? Is Aeon a representation of some of your development disapproval in Monero, or maybe a representation of correcting mistakes. For example, implementing Confidential Transactions that made the block size bigger.

What vulnerability is there? I see Katiecharms ban threats for spreading scamcoins, and the one spreading it is an owner of a top 5 Aeon pool? Is he now shifting his business model to scamming?
There must be no money in Aeon hehehe.

@harizen. When was the last time Manny Pacquiao was knocked out by an opponent, and what are the chances that Lucas Matthysse can do it? It might make the fight more entertaining to bet on Lucas knocking out Manny and wait for that to happen hehehe.

The bitcoin news media and the mainstream news media are very confusing. First they release Tom Lee cuts prediction to $20,000. 1 hour later I read news updates that said Tom Lee reduces prediction to $22,000. Another 1 hour later I read another update saying Tom Lee predicts the same $25,000 by end of year.
Is Tom Lee ok?

One word, fear. It's extremely bullish seeing banks and everything around them continue to talk crap about Bitcoin. The harder they are trying to convince you that Bitcoin and crypto is a scam and whatnot, the more you should buy of it. The only time they will ever start appreciate crypto, is when they are heavily involved in it and make tons and tons of money, and it will happen. It's just a matter of time before they enter. Banks in the end care about one thing only, and that's generating income, and crypto is perfect for that considering that we are still in the first stage of everything. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride up. Yes, fear that their monopoly for controlling the financial system is going away. They do not want the young generation to really have the realization that a form of currency that is independent from their centralized system can exist and can have value. |

@Dhanems. Ripple might be classified as an illegal security by the SEC. Their development team is doing all the tricks to make it appear that their platform is decentralized, but I reckon, they will not work as it did in Ethereum.
For Ripple, they will never be decentralized because they choose who to include to become validators to their unique node list. They control the distribution of XRP and, I reckon, the development also is controlled by only Ripple itself and some of the code is closed source.
The logo should be insignificant of all your unease in Ripple hehe.

Max Holloway is not fighting on Saturday. His doctors said that he his showing concussion-like symptoms that includes slurred speech, some dizziness and oversleeping.
Daniel Cormier also fell after a press conference and he was saw limping. What will Dana do? His original story board for UFC 226 was supposed to be the biggest card of the year.

News update! Tom Lee is very much alive and ok, and he is still very bullish. But $5000 less bullish. He cut his bitcoin price target by 20% to over $20,000. I did not know that fund managers can be so flexible and adaptable hehe.  Fundstrat Global Advisors’ price target for Bitcoin was updated to “over $20,000 by the end of the year”, according to Tom Lee, founder and head strategist of the equity research house. While bullish and predicting a turn of events within the next six months, Lee’s forecast is still a cut of about 20% on the previous price target, estimated at $25,000.Read in full https://insidebitcoins.com/news/fundstrats-tom-lee-cuts-bitcoin-price-target-by-20-to-over-20000/149718 |

Glance back into the past and you will see that creating gold or money from nothing has been a regular obsession. It never worked. ... So my message to young people would be: Stop trying to create money
Trying? hehehe
But Satoshi already did create a new type of money. I reckon the central bankers are slowly becoming fully aware that their banking scams now have serious competiton in bitcoin and the cryptospace.

@Lucius. No, remembering it all, I reckon it was nothing but the biggest speculatory pump in bitcoin's history. Many newbies who wanted to get rich quick have entered the market and they kept on buying without an indication what bitcoin is. The mainstream news media and fund managers kept on hyping the price, and there is the bitcoin community who kept on pushing for the idea that bitcoin will replace fiat.
What would Warren Buffet say? I reckon it looked like a scam for him hehehe.
But this pump had to have something that triggered it, do you think that without BTC futures people become so crazy about BTC? It is very easy to direct people in a certain direction, just need to sell them a good story. For most small investors the whole story did not end up positively, but big players make huge profits. I wonder if something similar can happen again, or people have learned a valuable lesson? Yes, without the bitcoin futures hype, I reckon the mainstream news media would always make up another storyboard and hype that and then get the same results that they want. What is behind the hype is not as important as the creation of the hype itself. |

Ripple should also hurry up if they do not want their exectutives to go to prison for issuing illegal securities hehehe. There are now 3 lawsuits accusing them of securities fraud made by private XRP investors. In any case, I reckon there will be no guarantees if their efforts to make Ripple appear decentralized will work.  For the third time in less than two months, a fresh lawsuit has been filed against the founders of Ripple Labs, the company behind the cryptocurrency Ripple (XRP). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants have made money by breaking state and federal securities laws and misleading the public through the sale of unregistered ripple tokens (XRP).
Plaintiffs are asking for a refund as well as damages, and allege organizers sold unregistered securities under California’s Corporate code.
The plaintiff detailed in his filing all signs point to XRP being a security, which requires the company to disclose certain information to investors, including potential risks. Citing that 20 billion tokens were given to Ripple Labs’ founders and 80 billion to the company itself, he alleges that the defendants earned massive profits by quietly selling off this XRP to the general public.Read in full https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/ripple-founder-hit-with-yet-another-us-lawsuit-sued-for-securities-fraud/ |

Aeon is not developed anymore, Monero Classic doesn't deserve it's value, i will go with Masari here.
You are wrong. Aeon is still maintained by smooth, who is part of the Monero development team as lead developer and stoffu who is a member of the Monero Research Lab. Aeon's code is up to date but only with RingCT disabled, for now, to retain the size of the blocks low. You should read and know the facts before you post something. |

I will not be close to shocked if this news article was paid for by a Ripple supporter or someone from the Ripple PR division. Ripple will never be decentralized. They choose who to include to become validators to their unique node list, centralized. They control the distribution of XRP, centralized. I reckon the development also is controlled by only Ripple itself and some of the code is closed source, centralized. Centralized. XRP is a security.  Not only is Ripple providing solutions to banks but they are walking the talk implementing their decentralization strategy.
On the development front, Ripple is implementing their decentralization strategy and a few days ago, they added four third party Validators to their Unique Node List (UNL). This means, in line with their May 2017 declaration and “independence” drive, Ripple needs to add 13 more Validators to their network to achieve total decentralization cancelling out Ripple Lab hold of the XRP validation network. Of course, this is good news and with it talks or even rumors of decentralization would fade.Read in full https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/07/04/ripple-xrp-technical-analysis-2/ |
