8061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: May 21, 2018, 12:46:35 AM
@Febo. What is the chance for Aeon releasing bulletproofs and ringCT before all the other cryptonote based coins? I reckon Aeon should be a willing testing platform for it.

Also, are stoffu and moneromooo developing in Aeon for the longterm?

Yes Snoop Dogg will also put the crip in the cRipple network once categorized as an illegal security by the SEC hehehe. This type of marketing will work on the people who do not know anything about the cryptospace and all the scams in it.

New bagholders coming. Welcome!

What about calling it spectacular sophie. Just sophie is very plain and not deserving of all the pain and suffering in waiting for this rebase hehehe.

It is hard to be a raging bull in a market full of stubborn bears. Also Tom Lee might already have filled his wallet and his clients' wallets very full or on leverage hehehe.

RIP French financial system. The first state to have their country disrupted by rat poison hehehe. Expect Warren Buffet to visit the country and give a I told you do speech.

@SaintGraal. It is because of greed and the also reckon that they can use regulations to control it.
8066  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-18] Warren Buffett Is Wrong About Bitcoin, Fred Wilson Says on: May 19, 2018, 01:28:29 AM
Why do so many people listen to a guy with no knowledge about bitcoin?

I think it's because of this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Warren Edward Buffett (/ˈbʌfɪt/; born August 30, 1930) is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist who serves as the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He is considered one of the most successful investors in the world and has a net worth of US$82.9 billion as of February 17, 2018, making him the third wealthiest person in the world.

The guy is very rich and it seems that he is a great investor then the media look at him like he is a god and forget that he knows nothing about bitcoin. in this world have a lot of money you become a god, even if you speak the biggest bullshit, nobody corrects you


I have heard him say it's risky because "This Satoshi guy could have hidden something in it". Utter foolishness if you understand open source.

the guy do not want to do research before commenting about bitcoin and when he talks bullshit nobody corrects him because he is considered one of the most successful investors, so to media everything he says is supposed to be correct


Warren Buffet quite knows what bitcoin and the cryptospace are, I reckon. But he has his role to play as the bad guy talking down on them because it is a threat to the very system that he has deep belief in.

Do not underestimate him. He has an army of people doing the research for him.

@smooth. Yes we should without doubt innovate, but on the simplest areas of the project like a more efficient blockchain pruning, or a less power hungry proof of work algorithm, something.

@Hydrogen. Do you have notes on the pretty Alexa Grasso and Tatiana Suarez? I reckon Alexa might be too underestimated for this fight. The odds for her is at +499 now and with only 1 day to go before the fight.
8069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which sports betting site do you go for UFC fights? on: May 19, 2018, 12:31:28 AM
@fudster. Try Bitcoinrush and Nitrogensports, they have the best odds for MMA in all of the bitcoin sportsbooks.

You can also use Pinnaclesports. They have the best odds in all of the sportsbooks in the world and they have started accepting bitcoin a few months ago.

@bbc I'm not sure what you are going on about being a "Monero copy cat" after the fork?

As far as I can tell there is no real change in the relative positioning vs. Monero pre- and post-fork. AEON started out as a Monero fork/clone and had some unique changes made to it, which will remain after the fork. The only thing that is really changing is replacing the 2-year old Monero code that was the base of the original fork with a currently-updated baseline.

Actually at this point it is more diverged from Monero than it has ever been since Monero has gone full RingCT (without BP) with huge 12 KB transactions and AEON has not (which means there is a clear tradeoff in terms of smaller/cheaper transactions with moderate privacy vs. a deeper level of privacy at much higher cost). We will probably adopt bulletproofs in some manner so that divergence will resolve to partial convergence but there will still be differences. As an ongoing trajectory I don't see the post-fork copy cat argument making sense.

Yes there will be small differences, but what I mean is we cannot suppose Aeon's price to reach new highs if it only copies from what Monero is doing. Maybe the term Monero copycat is the wrong one to use. But you know what I mean. If Aeon has to ascend on its own then it has to develop its own ideas.

Blockchain pruning was developed in Aeon. I reckon developing that further to be more efficient might make giant strides for the project.
8071  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Comparing Bitcoin and DogieCoin (dead) you get some interesting information on: May 18, 2018, 01:40:09 AM
This is a trolling thread right ! Because if it is not then Hmm .. no description will suite you  Smiley . Get some charts that might look similar and clam that they will follow without take in count any other factor is fool act . You did not even put in mind you are comparing a useless coin to a coin that is the backbone of the whole crypto world whether you like it or not .

Yes this is a troll thread. But taking something from @KingScorpio's analysis, we must ask are 95% of the coins in the cryptospace dead?

I reckon that trolling bastard did not think of that hehehe.

8072  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin’s True Believers Are Still Waiting on a Conference-Fueled Rally on: May 18, 2018, 01:26:38 AM
I never did believe that some conference full of corporate entities was going to create a bull for Bitcoin. 99% of the world's Bitcoin users don't care about Consensys or whatever summit is happening, I mean, hundreds take place every year, always almost filled with the same people promoting nonsense projects and talking about things the normal user doesn't care about. Yes, maybe 90% of Bitcoin is with all these business whales. But if Bitcoin resisted global regulation, why would it be prone to what a few bigshots say about it?

Also, I heard that 90% of the cryptocoin projects and platforms presented in that conference are scams. I reckon it might be like the real world 3D version of the announcement subforum hehehe.
8073  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-17] Bitcoin Price Fails To Accomplish Predicted Rally on: May 18, 2018, 01:19:10 AM
My note: becoming really tired of predictions. They are always wrong

More often than not, predictions of events influencing price are just market manipulation, and the news outlets are just as guilty as the people adding their whispers to the rumors. This case could easily be such a contrivance, I'd never heard of the Consensus conference until this year

While others who make those predictions are just trying to look for some recognition in case they are correct.

But the thing I noticed is they are more correct in bear market predictons than bull market predictions hehehe. Why is that?
8074  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-17] The SEC Just Launched a Fake ICO Website to Educate Investors on: May 18, 2018, 01:11:59 AM
@stompix. Maybe, but it appears that the SEC has run out of better ideas on how to solve the problem. They used to act from a position of power. What happened? Are they self-deprecating?

@stomachgrowls. If this was done earlier, would it have stopped some people from investing in Ethereum? ETH does not pass the Howey test.
8075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AEON [2017-10-07: update to 0.9.14.0] on: May 17, 2018, 02:24:52 AM
@boomboombazooka. Yes I hope so. Aeon has been around longer than most other altcoins but the newer coins have 10x more value in marketcap only because they are marketing their coins well.

But if we look at Aeon, we have nothing. After the code rebase, it will be a Monero copy cat once again. I hope that will change as it develops.



And how is that wrong actually?? it has monero features but with "light" mining algorithm that makes it easier to mine on any device, and thus make the network stronger.
However being so far behind xmr with the algo implementation I have a feeling that a huge dump is going to happen around the fork; those asic miners that are raping the coin right now will get rid of it as soon as it makes the changes

How? It is very wrong. A proprivacy cryptocoin like Aeon is depending on real usage for it to become more valuable. We in the Aeon community are not only supporting and holding it because it will grow our investment, but we are also here with the hope that Aeon will be another widely utilized coin like bitcoin. But how can we achieve that by being a Monero copy cat? Then the users would preferably use Monero. It has more volume, more nodes and a larger community.
8076  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin’s True Believers Are Still Waiting on a Conference-Fueled Rally on: May 17, 2018, 02:07:48 AM
What talk of regulation? Those rumors developed to be nothing but FUD masterminded by the bitcoin news media so that they can get more hits on their own cryptonews websites. The Upbit raid was also FUD, it was nothing but a misunderstanding.

The no bitcoin rally situation days before, during and after Consensus might be because of something else. But what?



Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors, one of the industry’s best known analysts, noted prior to this week’s Consensus conference in New York that Bitcoin was relatively cheap and said it was poised to rally even more than in past years. After an initial gain on Monday, the biggest digital coin has slumped.

To be fair, Lee did include a caveat, saying that that talk of regulations for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could damp enthusiasm. While there were several panels on regulation at the conference, there were few fresh insights. Lee didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by phone or email Wednesday.

@Kimi80. Soft would be the safer tire choice with 24 more laps to go. That might be too much laps for those tires for some drivers, but we already saw Sebastian run on track longer with overused tires and it got him the prize hehehe.

This Howeycoin move made by the SEC is very perplexing. What are they doing? I reckon it might be an acceptance in their inability, and knowing that they cannot do anything to shut down the cryptospace, scam ICOs included.

If really true then real disruption is about to come.



The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission wants to ensure investors can identify fraudulent initial coin offerings - even if it has to launch its own to do so.

The regulator announced Wednesday it has launched a mock ICO called HoweyCoin, presumably named after the Howey Test, which "touts an all too good to be true investment opportunity."

However, the company notes, "the offer isn't real." Users who try to invest in the token sale will instead be redirected to the regulator's education tools, which are aimed at pointing out the signs of fraudulent token sales.

8079  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-12] Millennials Are Buying Cryptocurrencies to Save For Retirement on: May 17, 2018, 12:53:28 AM

Also this brings the bitcoin versus gold, and the bitcoin as a store of value first versus as a medium of exchange first debates.

I reckon bitcoin is more of a digital gold to be used as a store of value first and as a currency next. Some altcoins like bitcoin cash consider their coins as mediums of exchange first and store of value next.

Bitcoin is seen as a lucrative store of value now as opposed to being use as a currency because of its nature being volatile and speculative. Being still in its infancy, bitcoin has yet to find its true value and since the speculation of some experts in this industry is positive, people would just choose to hold their coins instead of spending hoping that one day, it would become valuable and they wouldn't worry in their retirement age anymore.

But that is the problem. As an investment that's more closer to speculation, the cryptospace feels right. But as an longterm investment and putting all your hopes and dreams in the cryptospace for your retirement feels wrong.

Maybe at length, Warren Buffet was right about bitcoin as more of an asset for speculation.

@DuffyDuck1. What are you talking about? Aeon will hardfork to the new software on May 28. That is only 2 weeks from now. You should buy some before the rebase at all costs or regret not hodling hehehe.
