Si on en croit ses derniers tweets en tout cas (d'il y a un quart d'heure). Vivement qu'il se casse. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1149472285905940480"I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.... ....Similarly, Facebook Libra’s “virtual currency” will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks, both National... ...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!" |

Et ca devrait se faire sur Ethereum, avec 10 tokens differents: https://beincrypto.com/frances-first-ever-real-estate-sale-via-blockchain-set-to-happen-on-ethereum/Valeur : 6,5 millions d'Euros. Le bien : la Anna Villa a Boulogne-Billancourt "Equisafe will be responsible for conducting the transaction. The mansion will, first, be tokenized. The tokens will be the digital representation of shares for whoever holds the mansion. Single shares will be divided into 10 tokens and will be issued and distributed to buyers. Each token will be split into 100,000 units and can be easily traded on secondary markets. Therefore, given the full price of €6.5M, a piece of the mansion can be purchased for as little as €6.5. The offering will be held on June 26th." |

Economy / Scam Accusations / Weird emails and pms about a paypal transaction I never made
|

About an hour ago I received this pm from ichanger :  I never interacted with the guy before and have no idea who he is. I checked his post history and apparently he is buying BTC with Paypal. I asked him to explain himself in two of the threads he posted in. I also tagged him waiting for an answer. Then I reported his pm to the admins and answered him via pm as well.  I later noticed that my two posts addressed to him had been deleted. https://archive.fo/Gu6uAhttps://archive.fo/fwn0b I checked the mod log, the guy hasn't been banned, at least I don't think so. I checked my mailbox and there is no notification of those deleted posts. But in my mailbox, I got notifications for 3 pms sent by getpaidzI can post a screenshot of those emails if necessary (address is noreply@bitcointalk.org) : You have just been sent a personal message by getpaidz on Bitcoin Forum.
IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

According to an article on TheBlock, Coinbase is leading the chase to buy Xapo, worth $50 millions.

Local / Discussions générales et utilisation du Bitcoin / Tokyo, la ville du Bitcoin ?
|
on: May 04, 2019, 12:04:24 PM

Je viens d'arriver a Tokyo, je suis claque. Je n'ai donc rien de prevu pour ce soir. Par contre, des mon arrivee a l'aeroport d'Haneda j'ai eu l'agreable surprise de tomber sur un magasin appele "Bic Camera". Il s'agit d'une chaine assez repandue ici. On y vend essentiellement de l'electronique mais les plus grands "Bic" vendent de tout... et surtout ils acceptent le paiement en Bitcoin. Plutot sympa, a peine arrive ici de tomber deja sur un endroit ayant un rapport avec le BTC.    Tokyo est reputee comme LA ville du Bitcoin. Mais j'ai aussi entendu dire que c'etait un peu du bidon. Je sais par exemple qu'il n'y a que tres peu d'ATMs (2 je crois) et que le nombre d'endroits acceptant le Bitcoin est sacrement gonfle. On parle de 4000 enseignes mais il parait que c'est en fait beaucoup moins. On va bien voir. |

Local / Discussions générales et utilisation du Bitcoin / Les Mexicains ont tout compris
|
on: April 29, 2019, 04:36:36 PM

Je suis a Mexico City ces jours-ci. J'en ai profite pour essayer un service dont j'avais entendu parler. C'est un peu le meme service que celui des buralistes chez nous... mais en mieux. D'ailleurs, je ne sais meme pas ou ca en est de ce truc. Bref, l'idee c'est de deposer du cash (de 10 a 5000 Pesos par jour, c'est a dire de 50 cents a 250 euros) dans une epicerie qui s'appelle Oxxo (il y en a partout la-bas) et qui transfere cet argent directement sur votre wallet de l'echange sur lequel vous etes inscrit (un exchange mexicain hein). Moi j'ai choisi de tester avec Bitso, l'exchange local le plus connu. Je me suis donc inscrit sur Bitso puis j'ai demande a crediter mon compte en Pesos. Il m'ont envoye un texto avec un code a utiliser chez Oxxo. J'ai donc montre ce code au vendeur, je lui ai depose 1500 Pesos en cash, lui m'a donne un recu et en quelques secondes, mon compte Bitso etait credite... de 1456,50 Pesos. Il y a 2,6% de frais. Plutot pas mal comme service je trouve. Tu peux donc des que tu as un peu de cash sur toi le deposer indirectement sur un exchange en passant par cette epicerie.     EDIT : avec ces Pesos, j'ai ensuite achete pour 0,014 BTC puis j'ai transfere tout ca sans probleme sur une autre adresse, Aucun KYC. |

Local / Économie et spéculation / LedgerX veut devancer Bakkt

LedgerX Reveals Bid to Beat Bakkt to Physical Bitcoin Futures Launch https://www.coindesk.com/ledgerx-reveals-bid-to-beat-bakkt-to-physical-bitcoin-futures-launch"Cryptocurrency derivatives provider LedgerX plans to become the first U.S. firm to offer physically settled bitcoin futures contracts. The company announced Monday that it has filed for a designated contract market (DCM) license, which would allow LedgerX to offer physically-settled bitcoin futures products to its customers. Unlike the cash-settled bitcoin futures offered by CME Group (and previously, Cboe), customers would receive the actual bitcoin underlying a contract after it expires, rather than the U.S. dollar equivalent. Once approved, LedgerX will offer bitcoin, bitcoin options and bitcoin futures to retail customers through a new platform, dubbed Omni. >>> En gros LedgerX veut faire la nique a Bakkt et a demande ce que l'on appelle une licence DCM. |

Coinbase And Visa Are Making Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple's XRP And Litecoin Payments A Reality https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2019/04/10/coinbase-and-visa-are-making-bitcoin-ethereum-ripples-xrp-and-litecoin-payments-a-reality/#74eda9a15943"Coinbase has teamed up with global payments processor Visa to try to change that, launching the Coinbase Card which allows users to "spend crypto as effortlessly as the money in their bank. ... The Visa debit card, which has a £4.95 ($6.50) card issuance fee, can be used to spend Coinbase bitcoin, ethereum, Ripple's XRP, and litecoin balances "in millions of locations around the world," by converting the cryptocurrency to fiat when the card is used—the merchant or store gets paid in traditional fiat currency. Coinbase users can choose which cryptocurrency is used on the card through a new app which supports all crypto assets available to buy and sell on the Coinbase platform. The app also offers instant receipts, transaction summaries, and spending categories, to help people keep track of their spending." |

Economy / Exchanges / 2-FA is now obligatory on Kraken
|
on: March 27, 2019, 02:54:10 PM
|
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/kraken-makes-2fa-obligatory-forms-kraken-security-labs/"Kraken’s Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco has announced changes to the cryptocurrency exchange’s security features. He promises there are more client-facing security enhancements on the way, all a part of a security features roadmap planned out into 2020. Most new features will require enabling by the client to add additional levels of security. This is the case with Two Factor Authentication. While the feature has been available since Kraken’s launch, it was previously optional. Now, Two Factor Authentication has been made a requirement by the exchange. There are now two options available to the clients—Google Authenticator and YubiKey. Percoco also announced the formation of Kraken Security Labs. Percoco writes, “The effort is committed to improving the security of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem by performing vulnerability research against 3rd party products—like hardware wallets, software wallets, and other related technology—and disclosing identified issues in a way that does not jeopardize the security of the industry or our clients, but rather improve security for our clients and the world once the issues are fixed.”
