Thanks for the info, there's more to this than just FUD, fear, uncertainty and fear, it's much bigger, this sell off may get bloody.

I've read it, interesting that Bitfinex didn't announce anything about the CFTC, not that they would.

...

They might not be allowed to do so if it was a secret subpoena.

Wikipedia:
Quote
Secret subpoenas, such as those covered under 18 U.S.C. §2709(c) of the USA
Patriot Act, provide criminal penalties for disclosing the existence of the warrant to
any third party, including the service provider's users.

A Bitfinex employee actually made use of a warrant canary in December.
If you are interested in the details you could read this post I made in the Wall Observer
Thread earlier today:

I'm guessing the CFTC stepped in when Tethers went over $2B in a matter of days, they were creating more USDT than the Federal Reserve creates USD.

Have you read the updated version of the Bloomberg article or the posts by gentlemand?
The subpoena was delivered on the 6th of December.

The majority of Tether issuance has happened after that date.
Therefore the CTFC has stepped in when the outstanding amount
of USDT was roughly ~800M $.

Well they fucked up when they used USDT and said it was pegged to the USD (FRN) while creating them out of thin air.

I'm guessing the CFTC stepped in when Tethers went over $2B in a matter of days, they were creating more USDT than the Federal Reserve creates USD.

Federal law prohibits alternative currencies intended to circulate nationally (+ internationally) if they are misrepresented as legal US tender.

It'll get really crazy when everyone can't settle in Tethers USDT so they'll go to Alts or USD.  There's also Nubits, but it's only on Bittrex and a legit peg to the USD.  

I've been saying for several months that Bitfinex has created Tethers out of thin air, washed traded on their own site and ran BTC up from $800 to $20k.  

They were idiots to say it's pegged to the USD, they will go the way of Liberty Dollar.  They should have never used the USDT acronym, but criminals really don't care, they just hope they can get away with it if they make enough $$ and stay out of jail and use the excuse, "this is an unregulated industry, regulations and rules don't apply!".  

Well the USD (FRN) is hightly regulated, world reserve currency and backed by the biggest military and judicial system on earth and they don't like competition, no matter how big or small.  

Bitfinex never wanted your BTC or LTC or ETH or USDT, they want your money as in us dollars.  

This will not end well

Hope they used some of their billions in illegal gains to lawyer up, if any firms will represent them

This will get ugly

This will definitely get ugly. I can imagine how people will start selling their BTC when they read this news. Oh wait, the price of BTC just plummeted to 9k area minutes after this article was published. What a coincidence.  Roll Eyes This will definitely rile up the cryptosphere is a very negative way.

BTC futures expire on Jan 18th and there’s massive short positions by Banks and Institutions that want to be in the money so they drive the price down on all exchanges.  

JPMorgan and GSachs were buying BTC last year to now leverage it and short the exchanges to drive down the price before futures expiration.  They don’t want your Cryptos, they couldn’t give a shit less, they want your money which everyone is giving them.  

Crypto heads will now get a taste of what precious metals stackers have been dealing with for decades, market manipulation by banks.  

BTC has to die and all Alts need USD pairs it’s the only way to break free for real price discovery.


It's official, btc down to 8,000 soon.

With the announcement of DAPPS and other features, NAV could fly with similar gains to NEO and DECRED, both of which haven’t combined the privacy features and dapps like NAV is proposing.  DECRED has it in their roadmap with 14 devs working on it. 

NAV is a great long term hold

VIA has the most upside of any project I’ve seen.  

Lightning, Segwit already and they’re merging with Decred code for atomic swaps, the main dev is a genius.

23M max via still only about $6 and it’s on major exchanges.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/viacoin/



Great long term project, I bought several hundred MOIN.  

Particl is up over $40 now, so should bring some buying to MOIN, this could be the most undervalued privacy coin out there.

I'm also into NAV and VIA which I think are greatly undervalued, as well.

don't think its most undervalued privacy out there,but undervalued is for sure considering what they have in future plans.
what bothers me is there is no active community at all,reddit is pretty much dead,riot thing also no telegram,slack i can't enter so lack of news and communication from devs with small comunity is certanly not apealing to new investors.hope this changes in future and they give us more news and updates with current state of project

Exactly my thoughts. I'm on moin discord and it's truly dead there. One reaction a day. So very low comunity. As for devs Jookly is quite active but he doesn't know everything about tech. development. So it's hard to figure out what is moin actually about.

BTW. What is your most undervalued privacy coin right now?

This thread isn’t moving the market, if you think that go invest in some $1M Alt market.

There’s billions moving now, this thread is irrelevant.

Verge is soaring again! Finally the FUD has stopped and people have realized the potential of this coin!

It seems there is a correlation. Fudders come out in force when a coin is dropping in price. They stop when prices are going up. I don't know if they do that because they want to buy more at the lows. Or they are proven mistaken when the price and high and can't dispute the high price because they will look foolish if they do so. Anyway, Verge has proven to be quite resilient and is keeping its new status as one of the top dogs of the privacy coins.

XVG to $2.50 is easy, Bitfinex prints another 300M tethers, leverage 3:1 buys BTC, sends to Biance and Bittrex buys XVG to $2.50

It's already been done with 1.5 billion Tethers with all the other altcoins.  Bitfinex moved to Alts once BTC futures opened up.

We'll, after still waiting over five days for a withdraw pending and reading a ton of post on twitter, facebook and other threads of traders being scammed and ripped off by Rightbtc.com I needed to start this thread.

Post in here if you have withdraws pending for days, been scammed, ripped off or anything else.

I've been waiting five days for a withdrawal, wish I would have never used them, wish I could visit wherever they are in Dubai and do what should be done

Thanks mucho, do you know if they changed the tx fee to 1?

I've got a few wallets to upgrade with a few hundred XBY just sitting there, didn't to pay 50 xby, can't believe I've paid so much off exchanges now it's 70 cents each I've been in since a penny.



My mac wallet is stuck on block 365000 (14 hours ago) with 16 connection, just stuck, I've restarted and everything.

Any updates on wallets, current chain?  I've checked block explorer and it's been updating.

Block explorer is re-syncing, from block 1, after the blockchain code update.


Download latest wallet for MAC: https://github.com/borzalom/XtraBYtes/releases/download/pre-v1.3.0.0/xtrabytes-Qt-OSX-v1300.dmg

Open the Finder and got to „~/Library/Application Support/xtrabytes“ (you can jump to the directory by typing „⇪+⌘+G“ and paste the Path above.

Delete everything but do not delete wallet.dat

Launch the wallet, wait for full sync.

Just an update

DO NOT use rightbtc.com to buy or sell or withdraw Agrello, ETP or any other coin.  A lot of people have lost a ton of money and coins with them.  I'm waiting 4 days for a withdraw that's pending, I'm sure I'll lose my money.  They suck major ass
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]Metaverse|decentralised open platform of digital assets & digital identity on: January 07, 2018, 03:23:58 AM
Just an update

DO NOT USE rightbtc.com exchange to buy ETP or any other coin, they suck major ass, traders have lost all kinds of coins there and all withdraws are pending for several days all coins.  I'm sure it's a scam, I'll lose my $800 I'm sure but it sucks, may go all into BTS and decentralized exchanges. 

Also, done with ETP sorry don't do business with chinese assholes in dubai
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ZERO - COMMUNITY TAKEOVER on: December 29, 2017, 06:48:25 AM
Maybe because a similar coin ZCL has gone from $4 to $123 in less than 7 days and Zero has only 1/5 the supply.
 
The bid book on cryptopia is growing and some whales are sending btc from Bittrex, some serious walls being eaten

Zero is about to explode up


very nice pump there today. Is there any reason for it?
