Hahaha I don't know what exactly Gary Gensler wants, he probably want to buy Bitcoin at lowest as possible and then he make good news like approval of Bitcoin etf.

In my country bitcoin is considered as an asset or commodity and it is legal to trade here even government gets a slice of the trade fee. This is best meme for Mr gary right now


Similar to what everyone who is following the news on uncle Gary has said, it took a judge to do the SEC's job for them and ruled the XRP token by itself as not a security. This has created a legal precedent that many of the tokens by themselves in the cryptospace are not securities.

Uncle Gary is the security hehehehehe.

@Rikafip. I am very skeptical that sweet Caroline has stopped supporting Sam. I reckon from that testimony it appears that Caroline is being told or already has a plan to make Sam appear insane so Sam can plead insanity or temporary insanity caused by Adderall and avoid time in prison if he is charged guilty.

Sam and Caroline were lovers and on a psychological level, sweet Caroline is not very beautiful and the attention from a man she might have only felt from Sam. Her loyalty to him might be very deep hehehehee.

@BenCodie. I am sorry, however, this image you shared is only something similar to a meme. Itmis difficult for bitcoin to be the dominant reserve currency because there will not be a dominant military to back and support it. There is a higher chance that bitcoin will be very much similar to gold, being used as a speculative investment and as a store of value.

In any case, what the next dominant reserve currency might be is the country's currency with a dominant military and a dominant economy. It might be China, also do not underestimate the rise of India. India's economic and military growth will shock everyone.
804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: October 10, 2023, 02:54:00 AM
For those who are waiting some updates on the fight, it says that it could be around Mid December,

Quote
“One week of intense training has ended,” Inoue stated in a post, accompanied by a photo sporting a chiseled physique alongside his team members. “I had a good training session and am ready to switch on for December.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/inoue-one-week-intense-training-ended-ready-switch-on-december--178188

So it's good to hear that this fight is still a go. Because there have been some doubts earlier, regarding the purse split and that the camp of Tapales didn't accept the offer. So maybe there is some stipulations on the contract and most likely the Tapales camp has agreed in terms.



What would be these stipulations? I speculate that it will depend on the event's sales and revenue. If it is more than what the have expected, they might give more money for Tapales' purse. I reckon Tapales should also gamble on himself that the organizers should add money in his purse if the fight ended over 10.5 rounds or reduce the money if under hehe.

Tapales might be underestimated for this fight. I am not predicting that he will be victorious, however, this fight might become similar to Naoya vs. Nonito 1.



When it comes to the purse, I doubt they'll spill the beans publicly, but I'm thinking it'll be fair for Tapales once this fight gets the green light. Now, hoping for this fight to be like Inoue vs. Donaire 1? Well, I'm not so sure. Inoue and Tapales, they've got their own unique styles in the boxing game, and their confidence levels, well, they're on different wavelengths.

I mean, Donaire was a superstar in his own right, reigning in the bantamweight division before Inoue handed him that tough loss. So, expecting a replay of that epic showdown might be a bit of a stretch.

However, Tapales caused an upset by winning the other 2 super bantamweight championships by split decision vs. the undefeated boxer from Uzbekistan. I reckon fans might have their heads shaking after the fight hehehe. Also, everyone knows already that Naoya Inoue is the favorite, however, I am only implying that Tapales should not be underestimated.

Went to the Eagle Pass border crossing to see what’s really going on

Source https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1707565081750290910


In any case, this will grow into a bigger storyline when the election is near. The Whitehouse should begin working with local politicians in those counties before the storyline starts to mention the word invasion.

Situation at the southern border is just appalling. 8,000 illegals are crossing the border each day, as per news reports. Just in the month of August, a total of 232,000 migrants crossed the border without any sort of paperwork. Rolando Salinos (mayor of Eagle Pass) was forced to declare state of emergency. Border agents can't just deal with the huge numbers who are crossing the border and it is quite possible that some may be slipping through without any background/biometry check. And from the pictures, I can see that >95% of the migrants are military age men, with very few women or children among them.

A country should be able to control their borders and select who they want to come in or out of it.

These reports you mentioned basically show that the US is not capable to keep their borders in check.


I reckon it is not capability that caused the American border to be overwhelmed, it is policy. If you read the argument between TwitchySeal and Sithara007, it very much appears that the liberals want to accomodate more refugees even if they do not have the proper budget or the arrangement to take all of them.

This is why there is a demand on Trump to run on 2024. If you also want to have some profit on this demand for Trump, speculate on the NFT Redacted Remilio Babies and buy the NFT with the Trump 2024 hat if you see it near the floor price.

It appears that Saquon will be starting his own drama with the Giants after this season hehehe. However yes, he should fight for his value as a player and have more than enough to retire from the game comfortably.

He should hire Lamar to be his agent hehehehehee.

On my team, my 3 most important players did not create the points needed to have a chance against Hhampuz. Pollard, Henry and James Cook made a total of only 17.50 points. Cooper Kupp made more than the 3 of them with 17.80 hehehe.
807  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] FTX on: October 10, 2023, 01:23:32 AM
@FatFork. This is really very head shaking because these new information being discovered and shared make it appear that FTX was created as a criminal operation from the beginning. It is also strange that Sam Tabasco's name is not mentioned anywhere in the Chinese quant's testimony. Is Tabasco being protected? What does he know? Why is he not called as a witness?

In any case, Caroline Ellison will be on the witness stand this week. I am quite certain this will be another head shaking time of discoveries.

@BenCodie. The argument is not if the American dollar, the Euro or any fiat currency is shit. You are correct, they are shit. I am telling you not to have this position of bitcoin is better because the pricing and the value is based on fiat and it will always be based on fiat. Bitcoin needs the scam fiat for the bitcoin market to exist and for it to have a price very similar to how oil, precious metals and industrial metals' value are based on fiat. This is reality and you will need the scam to continue your existence. Do not tell me you do not use fiat to live in this world. That would be impossible and a lie.

I reckon we should accept reality. If much of the people hold bitcoin as a speculative investment to earn more fiat, this should be okay. We should never imply that we or bitcoin is better than other people or other currencies.

I am not quite certain what crypto needs to have value, however, my bitcoins and altcoins are readily accepted in many exchanges in exchange for dollars, euro and other fiat currencies. They also are accepted as payment for many items and services. Is this not giving it value? Do cryptocoins need to be backed by a government and be accepted as payment for taxes to have value?



Crypto Has ‘No Innate or Inherent Value’, SEC Argues in Coinbase Case

The Securities and Exchange Commission is arguing that cryptocurrencies lack any "innate or inherent value" as part of their case against Coinbase in federal court—prompting eye rolls from Coinbase and crypto watchers.

Will Robert Kennedy Jr. get the much needed votes to win the nomination in the Democratic party's primaries if he expresses his support for bitcoin and the community? The bitcoin community is very small compared to the groups belonging to the mainstream.

For the skeptical, why is he doing this if his support for bitcoin is not real? The much needed votes will not come from the community.



U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) discussed a variety of topics, including bitcoin, in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, published Wednesday. RFK Jr. is a son of former U.S. Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

The presidential candidate pledged that if elected as the President of the United States:

I’m going to make sure that bitcoin is protected, that people can keep their own wallets, that the current White House war on bitcoin will be over, that transactions will be protected and encouraged.

He added that he will look “ultimately at treating it [bitcoin] as a currency, rather than a commodity, particularly for smaller bitcoin owners.”

@zasad@. No crypto exchange or project from the cryptospace will hire uncle Gary after witnessing what he has done and what he is presently doing. However, it might be good to witness uncle Gary to be hired by CZ and become his subordinate heheheh.

In any case, is Elon good with predictions? He has said that he expects that the SEC will be overhauled together with other government agencies.



Tesla and Spacex CEO Elon Musk has called for a thorough overhaul of regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He made this call after the securities regulator sued him to force him to testify about his acquisition of social media platform Twitter, now known as X.

In response to X user Mario Nawfal, who shared the news of Musk being sued by the SEC, the Tesla CEO wrote:

A comprehensive overhaul of these agencies is sorely needed, along with a commission to take punitive action against those individuals who have abused their regulatory power for personal and political gain. Can’t wait for this to happen.

Moreover, another X user asked Musk: “Will it ever happen?” The billionaire replied: “I estimate the probability at 100%”

Those skeptical people might be correct in their skepticism on the news about these top executives' confidence on the approval of the ETF. I shared the news on August 9, however, after 6 days bitcoin bitcoin was being dumped.

There is presently another former top executive that declared his confidence that an approval will be within 3 to 6 months according to the social media accounts of Coingraph and Coinsumption. Should be expect another dump? Are these positive ETF news being shared because the whales want exit liquidity?



OPINION: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will register the first spot Bitcoin ETF within three to six months. This opinion was expressed by former managing director of BlackRock, Stephen Schoenfeld.

Good news for my team! Cooper Kupp was activated by Sean McVay and declared will play vs. the Eagles for week 5. I will take the risk and play him hehehe. There are speculations that his hamstring is not 100% because Sean McVay mentioned Kupp will play assuming nothing will happen in the next 48 hours.



Cooper Kupp will make his season debut on Sunday when the Rams host the Eagles, as long as he doesn’t have any setbacks between now and kickoff. That’s what Sean McVay told reporters on Friday, confirming that Kupp will play this weekend after missing the first four games.

I think they will use Puka Nacua mostly and Kupp as a decoy. I'm glad to see the guy back, but I doubt the Rams want to risk reinjuring the guy and losing him for the whole season.

Let us wish that Sean McVay will use him as a decoy until the ball is on 1st down and goal where he will be thrown the passes for chance of touchdown hehe. But it appears that this will not be a big risk for my team on week 5 because my other wide receivers are very much worse than Kupp with one hamstring hehhehee.

These are statements made by Sam's Chinese quant Gary Wang when the quant was questioned on the witness stand. It is more than 3 pages and some of the statements might not anymore be shocking because we know the news, however, this is still very head shaking on how all of these have occured. Why is this not on show everywhere similar to the court trial Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard?

If you follow this strategy, even trading at small exchanges like MEXC becomes risk free.

There are no risk-free strategies
There is no risk-free trading
There are no risk-free investments
There is no risk-free interaction with centralized services
There are no risk-free swaps.

When it comes to financial operations, there is always a risk, especially if we are talking about such a high-risk asset as cryptocurrency. Somewhere the risk is small, somewhere the risk is big, but it exists everywhere and always.

I very much agree but if someone wants the lowest risk method, I reckon swaps through DeFi and centralized swapping sites like exch.cx might be better options. There is a low chance for those exchangers to ask for identification from small minnows similar to us hehehe. However, centralized exchanges do not care. If a user creates an account with them, they will impose KYC on everyone because it is also being imposed by them by regulators.

In my opinion, the first 3 categories will go to the most favorite and strong contender, none other than the excellence from the film "Oppenheimer." Coming from one of the most acclaimed directors and one of the most talented actors working today. This will be the first time for Nolan if he wins.

But, of course, the actual results can often be surprising.

I had a similar speculation before because it is quite certain that the nuclear war storyline will be hyped on social media and mainstream news media. However, if you look at the winners for the last 2 years, the favorites before the official nominations were announced never won the Oscar. The movies that won were emotional movies about family, love and making the world a better world.

What are these emotional and inspirational movies? I honesly have not watched much movies this year.

In any case, the nuclear war storyline is only beginning.



Vladimir Putin has ramped up his nuclear rhetoric, saying his country had successfully tested the nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable Burevestnik strategic cruise missile, as he suggested Russia could resume nuclear testing for the first time in more than three decades.
