You can just google for testnet bitcoin faucet, find 1-2 working faucets and get some satoshi for your tests.
And when you have finished you can send them back. It should be faster than relying on "donations". The amounts may be small, but that's not important, right?
I'm doing it mate. With some help, the procedure will be faster. I mean, on the first faucet there is 12 hours cooldown and the other one is 1 and we need something like 10 BTC so it will be definitely faster. Thanks for understanding  |

Hello, guys
We are going to test our new cross-chain atomic swap widget. If anyone has some testnet BTC and is willing to help us can send them to:

Hey guys, what's going on with the public testnet? Blocks are being mined every ~1 second ?
The difficulty on the testnet resets to 1 if a block is not found in 20 minutes. That's what probably happened. The difficulty changes every 2016 blocks so everything should be back to normal soon. oh, that explains everything. Thanks! |

Is it possible that we see another altcoin season, if Bitcoin breaches the all-time high and go above 20k? Do you find a direct correlation?
|

A clear shift on the market can be felt. Instead of trading altcoins, people nowadays are doing leverage. Maybe they got tired waiting for the new alt season.
Yesterday right before the collapse, $150 million of long positions were completely liquidated on Bitmex. Logically, it creates a sell pressure on the market and the price goes down, causing more long positions to be liquidated in a chain reaction. Of course, this is just one suggestion of why the collapse happened in a matter of just one hour.
Which one you consider better?

You can feel that the market is shifting from altcoins to leverage. It is a very clear shift. Instead of trying to get rich by trading altcoins, people nowadays are doing leverage.

That's not the total money that institutional investors throw on crypto. Most of there transaction was over the counter. They are buying huge chunk of BTC behind the government radar. Simply to avoid paying tax and there is limitation on depositing FIAT in exchange.
They didn't suffer from FOMO if they invest around July 19 because they bought BTC in discounted price.
Yes, it is not the total money - it is just a report from Grayscale. Still there are some interesting implications. July 19th BTC was already above 10k - the big pump has already started. |

Institutional investors are indeed buying according to new report for Q3. Q3 has been phenomenal for institutional investors but they did not create the pump – they FOMOed in right after it (July 2019). This can be seen in the last Digital Asset Investment Report Q3 by Grayscale. Some interesting facts become clear from the report: - A huge inflow of money in crypto in Q3 2019 – 250 million $ - the biggest number Grayscale have ever achieved - Invested mostly in BTC but also huge increase for ETH, decent amount of ETH Classis and insignificant amount of other alt coins - Most of the investments came in July 2019 after the big pump. Hence, institutional investors, which are 84% of all investors, FOMOed in after the big pump. - 47% USA investors vs. 53% Offshore investors https://grayscale.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Grayscale-Digital-Asset-Investment-Report-Q3-2019-October-2019.pdf |

Anyone managed to watch something from the conference?
There is a single livestream of one room that is not even on most of the time. Last year, it took weeks and weeks for the recordings to be uploaded.

Dollar Cost Average is probably a smart strategy. You can avoid big risks and stay untouched by day-to-day volatility.

It is not a crazy idea actually. There are already people in the sphere thinking about turning Bitcoin into token on Ethereum.. just as every other smart contract. Technically, it is possible.

It is very unclear if they have one dollar in a bank account for each Tether that they issue. Tether never got around to releasing audited financial statements proving that it had the dollars. We cannot be sure if this 1:1 ratio is real.

That OP is related to the weidex project, its a decentralized exchange I'm sure he knows what he is saying here.
The video posted is from Cedric Dahl which I happen to be a subscriber. I like this guy, he explains well and very truthful and answers questions with reality in mind. Can't find where he explains what happen that causes the prices to drop.

I came a cross this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LhK5kQqON4&t=872s giving a suggestion why the prices dropped. "Before the price dropped 20%, there was about 1.2 billion dollars that moved into exchanges. This is an unusual amount. Then on the Bitmex exchange there was a large sell order which triggered a bunch of limit sell orders, which also liquidated a bunch of people's positions. And so that is what caused the gigantic price drop. In other words, the price likely dropped because of manipulation. It is a short-term manipulation attempt, while the long-term adoption is going well. " Maybe if the prices recover soon (as we already see green markets), this will turn out right. |

How do you react when you come across a project saying that it is not charging any fee, e.g. a swap or a DEX which does not collect any fees. Do you take it as an advantage or it does not look serious enough to you?
I should remind you that a swap process is much different than DEX. DEX used blockchain as the main role and any transaction will be broadcasting directly to the network and to call that DEX doesn't collect any fees doesn't make sense although if the DEX still able to do that without collecting the fees from the buy and sell order activities but the network still needs the fees from the sender of the transaction. I can say swap has the different method and this is an instant changer from A coin to B coin. If that runs in the zero cost blockchain or platform like DAG and that makes sense if swap method cost zero fees. Im taking it as an advantage. You are right here. |
