eth outrageous  $300 dollar soon? It really surprises me how Ethereum regained and recover in the last couple of days. Again, lot of people are writing it off, when it went down to $80. Now with the current bull run, I wouldn't be surprised $300 will be breach and end the year around $600. Why not? Those who are bitching around and saying that ETH is dead are the some investors who jumps in and pumps it price. . $300 will be a big achievement this year though. Been fluctuation from $240-$260, but $300 is not that far though, so it's plausible that $300 can be achieved, but prefer for some corrections. |

As per CEO recent blog post: https://medium.com/bakkt-blog/bitcoin-futures-custody-bakkts-differentiated-approach-59b88d6984b5User acceptance testing for bitcoin futures custody and trading planned for July
In conjunction with our exchange and clearing partners at ICE, we’ll be working with our customers over the next several weeks to prepare for user acceptance testing (UAT) for futures and custody, which we expect to start in July. We’ll provide more details in upcoming posts, but we expect to use UAT to ensure that customers have time to onboard and can test the trading and custody model we’ve built to their satisfaction. So another good news that will really push the price of bitcoin to 5 digits this coming months. Brace yourself for another run if this come into fruition this July. And then fully operation and live before the end of the year. Do you really think that BAKKT is useful for us? It seems to me to increase the manipulative effect on the market. I don't think they will work for us. You tell me. Manipulative effect? Where have you been this years? Crypto is a speculative asset so obviously it will be prone to manipulation What you gonna do if Bakkt is approved then? You going out of the market because you believe if won't work with us? |

I'm sure most investors now doesn't care about centralized coins like XRP. Everyone is here to make money. So I guess people will go to where the money is right now, BTC,ETH, XRP. But I'm glad to see NEM is being pump, but it's very obvious that it's not organic though. So just be careful not to invest on top, otherwise you will be trap, just saying.

You also have to understand the risk involved here. Bitcoin nature's is very volatile, totally unpredictable, you can't just dart in and out and think that you can profit that way. You should have trading plans, entry and exit strategy. It did bubble and eventually burst in 2018, assets like this can't go on parabolic, sooner or later a correction would happen. But the thing is, even though it has been burst, it's so resilient that it was able to get up again, and then the cycle repeats.

I'd give game 1 to the Raptors already, except there is an early rally from Bucks in the 4th quarter:
Pascal Siakam with that buzzer beating 3 to make it a 7 points lead for Raptors going into 4th quarter, Raptors have been pretty solid at defence forcing Bucks to shooting from outside, and they are doing that ineffectively.
I thought that the Raptors will steal Game 1 on the road but they run out of steam in the 4th quarter. Lots of turnovers, missed shots etc. The Fatigue is also a factor for them so the last quarter is the time for the Bucks to regain the lead. Anyway, good game for both of them. I didn't see Giannis defending Kawhi and vice versa but its a close game. I will not be surprised if this will go to a Game 7  . It will be more exciting to watch  I like to see that, of the two series, this series has a better chance of going into distance. Bucks has to win game 2, but I am seeing lots of Raptors fans here also, so whoever team will advance in the NBA finals, I would be happy. The Game 1 between the Bucks and Raptors is a close game so I'm seeing this as a good series too. If the Raptors will steal the game 2, they have a chance to win the game in 6 games. They really had a good chance to win, actually in the first three quarters, they are ahead. They just loss steam in the last 10 minutes or so. Lowry provided the spark for the team, but the rest including Leonard had a bad shooting. Maybe they are really tired and exhausted after a gruelling series against the Sixers. But I'm sure they will be back next game and try to steal game 2. The raptors sure had minimized Giannis output but still they lost to the other match-up. Lopez step up his game and also Bledsoe has done well in breaking the raptors defense. Though it's too early to celebrate but I guess it's a Buck's series and they will end it in 5 games. I don't think they contained Giannis. They know that they have been in this kind of situations before. That's why other players step up, Bledsoe has been consistent, but the big difference is really Brook Lopez. We thought that his best days are with the Nets, but it seems he did contribute big in getting a win in game 1 so kudos to him. Bucks is the favorite to win in this series so yeah probably in 5 or 6 games. |

 May 18, 2019 at Barclays Center, New York I'm sure that boxing fans are familiar with Deontay Wilder. He and Tyson Fury had a good fight in December, wherein it ended in a draw, it was controversial though. But the rematch didn't push through as both are hurling accusations as who is stalling the fight. Breazeale open as 8-1 underdog. And to put hype around the fight, https://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-no-regrets-over-saying-breazeale-die-on-saturday--139049WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is not concerned with the backlash over his recent statements regarding the upcoming fight with Dominic Breazeale.
Wilder alarmed reporters on Tuesday, when he told them that he was still trying to get a "body on his record."
He will make a mandatory defense against Breazeale on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. They've been involved in a scuffle in previous year, but I think Wilder went on board with this statement though. |

There are a lot of speculation that the Chinese has put their money on bitcoin because of the on-going trade wars between US and China. I have heard this from lots of so called experts, as Chinese are betting and levering their money into crypto specially bitcoin. But we don't know if that is true or not, I mean there are also alot of good news like the Bakkt coming alive again and having a test run in July. And then lots of institutions like Fidelity and TD Ameritrade entering the crypto space as well.

I was one of the minority here that the creation of bitcoin was due to the economic turmoil we had in 2008 as evident by his reference of the "“Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks” in Genesis block. He may have not lost everything though, but I believed that he was deeply affected by the current financial situation that time that he decided to complete his work, released the whitepaper and his creation.

Depends on your location. If miners is on some countries wherein there is abundance of sunlight then definitely it could be a good alternatives or be the main source of electricity for their mining activity. But if you are in Europe or something, then it doesn't make sense as it will be costly to maintain it and would rather used other options to save money.

What's our last all-time-high? Around $20k? So I will give an estimated like $40k-$50k will be the peak of the next bull run sometime 2021-2022. But I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 6 digits though. I mean one reason for the price to get up that high is that more institutional money will flow. So in the next 2-3 years, I'm expecting new sets of investors, who is very reluctant from 2017's run will suddenly jump and doesn't want to miss the boat in the next all-time-high runs.

I also don't know if is the start if a bull run, but i think we need to wait more, now price is 7500$ and maybe we can have a new ATH but we need to wait more because maybe is not yet a bull run like on 2017.
What price do you need to see in order to say that we are indeed we are in a bull run? As long as the price keeps increasing at this levels, I will say that we are already in the bullish zone. As far as hitting a new all time high, obviously it will need more time to achieved that. But for now, we have moving away from the bears, more than double the last all-time-low (ATL) and heading to near five digits again. |

Did they fix vulnerabilities that allowed DDoS attack? I was reading this release notes you mentioned but didnt find answer for my question.
This was huge thing to fix and a lot people had problems because of that.
AFAIK the vulnerability was fixed post 3.3 and that's why they used it to disconnect users on versions < 3.3; the DDoS attack that was happening was made to the servers. Totally different. Correct, if you read those releases in the link: # Release 3.3.3 - (January 25, 2019)
* Do not expose users to server error messages (#4968)
* Notify users of new releases. Release announcements must be signed,
and they are verified byElectrum using a hardcoded Bitcoin address.
* Hardware wallet fixes (#4991, #4993, #5006)
* Display only QR code in QRcode Window
* Fixed code signing on MacOS
* Randomise locktime of transactions |

Anyone notice it? I wasn't aware of it because all attention are in the bull run that we have right now. But if you check their website: Web Fee Schedule
All orders placed via our website application1 (each, a “Web Order”) incur both a convenience fee (“Convenience Fee”) and a transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”); see Fee Examples. Before you place your Web Order, you will be quoted a firm price that includes the Convenience Fee (the “Quoted Price”). In addition, we will display your Transaction Fee, which is determined according to the amount of your Web Order: https://gemini.com/web-fee-schedule/#web-fee-scheduleSo now the new fees will be "1.49% "transaction fee" plus a .5% "convenience fee". As far as I can remember, it was previously just 1% flat fee. Or are they really taking advantage as well of this bull run to make more money in anticipation that more traders will suddenly jump again? |

I have 5.7 BTC frozen on this exchange. I am very worried that I cannot withdraw these funds now. I hope that the situation will change in the coming days (
CZ confirmed that as early as next week, withdrawals and deposit will resume so you don't have not worry so much. https://www.binance.com/en/blog/333497959022997504/Binance-Security-Incident-UpdateTentatively, we are looking to resume withdrawals and deposits early next week. We still have a large number of tasks and tests to do, and we are working around the clock on it. |

Rest assured, our team is making progress. We are taking this opportunity to significantly revamp some of our security measures, procedures, and practices. With the goal of resuming deposits and withdrawals as soon as possible, some of the changes will be done within the window of this week, and many further changes will be added afterwards.
We are making significant changes to the API, 2FA, and withdrawal validation areas, which was an area exploited by hackers during this incident. We are improving our risk management, user behavior analysis, and KYC procedures. We are working on more innovative ways to fight phishing. We also have a number of additional security measures being implemented not directly visible on the front end.
We will be adding hardware device support, such as YubiKey and other devices, very soon. We will run an event and give away 1,000 YubiKeys as soon as that feature is implemented.
Tentatively, we are looking to resume withdrawals and deposits early next week. We still have a large number of tasks and tests to do, and we are working around the clock on it.
Once again, we thank you for your unwavering support during these tough times! We will fight on.
- CZ https://www.binance.com/en/blog/333497959022997504/Binance-Security-Incident-UpdateSo there you go, there's a lot of things going on behind the scene and it looks like they will revamped their security measures. So as early as next week maybe we can see deposit and withdrawals resume and back to normal operations again. |
