After all, this recent bloodbath the price of Monero has resisted well. I remember that for some time it was similar to the LTC. Now it's double. Not that this comparison is worth anything, but it is a simple way to compare.

There was a great fall with the hunt the anonymous coins by the authorities of Asian countries. But in those two weeks besides resisting the falls still rises above average.

Monero is undoubtedly the only anonymous project. Still has several difficulties. But my theory is that some people are selling BTCs from their exchanges in an attempt to escape from KYC and to leave no trace they choose Monero.

This shows that eventually, monero will outperform other projects as the standard currency of those seeking freedom and privacy.

I'm seeing some WeTrust Spring ads here on BitcoinTalk. It's good to know that the project is still alive, because I was almost losing my hopes. He had already given up the search for the token price. It was one of the biggest losses I've had so far.

I decided to buy some more in this new fall to see if I can at least minimize the damage.

The project was really very innovative and able to attract a lot of people for everything it was hoping for. He even had one of the highest heights I ever saw when Vitalik said he was contributing to it. I hope you'll come up with Spring a little bit now with this investment in Mkt.

Nasdaq, the world’s second-largest stock exchange, announced Friday that it is in the works to acquire Cinnober, a trading solution provider based in Sweden.

Cinnober has a history for bullishness towards digital assets and making it easier for institutions to invest in them. One of those efforts is the partnership with BitGo, a behemoth for institutional-grade cryptocurrency custody security. BitGo itself has built partnerships and acquisitions over its history, which have helped it firm up its mission, including the acquisition of Kingdom Trust and a partnership with the South Korea exchange Korbit.

Nasdaq: More Prepping for Cryptocurrency Trading?
Nasdaq’s latest acquisition highlights, though indirectly in this case, its taste for cryptocurrency trading. As CCN reported, on the heels of the SEC’s second rejection for the Winklevoss twins’ ETF, the Nasdaq held a closed-door meeting with cryptocurrency industry experts. In the meeting, participants discussed ways to legitimize cryptocurrencies as a traditional securities product, especially in ways to appease the fickle SEC.

Cinnober’s BitGo platform is well-suited for large institutional investors in Nasdaq. The multi-signature security and custody solution with BitGo has made it one of the most popular in the space. Nasdaq’s release points to their interest in Cinnober’s success in offering newer asset types. Adena Friedman, President and CEO, Nasdaq, said:

“The combined intellectual capital, technology competence and capabilities of Cinnober and our Market Technology business will expand the breadth and depth of our fastest growing division at Nasdaq. Not only have the global capital markets continued to evolve rapidly, new marketplaces in various industries are demanding market technology infrastructure that enables rapid growth and scale as well as access to tools to promote market integrity. This acquisition will enhance our ability to serve market infrastructure operators worldwide, and will accelerate our ability to expand into new growth segments.”

Cinnober has developed in-house solutions and technology acquisitions that make it a prime candidate for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Corporation. Cinnober’s cryptocurrency custodian service, in specific, could be one of the most coveted arms of the acquisition, as questions over custodianship have made many institutional investors leery.

Household names in finance are racing to developer regulated and clearly audited custodian solutions, including Citigroup and Bank of America.

This post sums up just how much a change like this was needed. We have several users who post thousands of messages that add little to the forum. They are almost like zombies copying and pasting texts into mega topics.

This is more harmful than beneficial to the forum. This is was a simple yet great change.

The sophisticated traders who learned the ebbs and flows of the Bitcoin market also have better and better infrastructure to use and even more complex markets surrounding the asset class, so it remains within the realm of the possible that things could swing again."

Trump is one of the variables I most fear. I'd rather he never say anything on twitter about Bitcoin. Any idea or pronounced of it can be devastating. Since he sometimes does not seem to think very well before commenting on something.

He can say something totally favorable and Bitcoin reaches 100k. Or he can say that it is a currecny used by a terrorist and want to banish, and then I have no idea what the price would be.

I just follow his Twitter every day to anticipate the worst case.

It's not a question about volumes being moved. If BTC is used to pay for goods and services, the price would not be changed. But in this case, it is a quite different situation.

For example, let's imagine that tomorrow a set of ships with a few billion of stored oil will emerge. And the owner of them decides to sell everything in a single day in the open market. All market investors will imagine a drop in prices, this is natural.

In the case of Bitcoin, this type of information be public is better for everyone. Because we could anticipate and understand volatility. If the market absorbs such a move without major falls or out of control, this will indicate maturity.

It would be great if we had a source of merit in the Portuguese section. Maybe something like this would encourage the creation of more posts and more users would write in that section.

Once again in the world of cryptocurrency, we have a mystery on our hands.

A $720 million sleeping giant has woken up after four years, with $100 million moved to Bitfinex and Binance over the course of ten days at the end of August. The bitcoin wallet contains 111,114 BTC or 0.52% of the total supply. The sudden movement of these dormant funds could have a disruptive potential in the market price action, particularly if the funds belong to one of the two possible likely candidates suggested by Reddit sleuth u/sick_silk.

The Redditor brought the movement of the funds to the attention of the crypto community by publishing a series of posts tracking each transaction in detail accompanied with graphs representing the activity.

The first post was made on 31 August and suggested that the funds may be connected to the now-defunct dark web market Silk Road which handled the trade of billions of dollars worth of contraband such as recreational and prescription drugs, illegal weapons and pornography, malware, hacking services, guides to various types of criminal activity, and other black market goods and services.

u/Sick_Silk points out:

“It seems that the owner of a huge SilkRoad related wallet is moving funds actively since 3 days, dividing it in chunks of 100 coins by subwallets.

The original wallet owned 111,114.62 BTC / BCH , which is currently valuated ~ $844M (without taking in account other #Bitcoin forks).

Last movements on these subwallets are 4 years and 5 months old (March 9th, 2014).

The chunks have been divided over time to 60,000 coins then to 30,000 / 20,000 / 10,000 / 5,000 / 500 and now 100 coins.”

Sick_Silk connected the original address to the Silk Road via the following bitcointalk thread in which user assortmentofsorts connects the dots to from an address operated by DPR (Dread Pirate Roberts AKA Ross Ulbricht, creator of the Silk Road) to the one in the Reddit post over the course of six traced transactions.

I do not believe that. Their cost of production seems to me to be very low and with a great profit margin.
They are totally dominant in one of the most important sectors of Bitcoin. They have few personal expenses. They still have great machinery that could easily be converted into cash if needed.
Still has the possibility to seek money among investors before the IPO. And even though BCH has fallen so much, it is still a valuable asset that can be converted into cash. What big immediate expense do they have? They do not have Bank debts.

  I'll suggest something different. From what Jet Cash has written, some sources of merit may see the function of distributing merits almost as a professional activity. They spend time looking for what to merit. Without them receiving almost anything in return, and this seems to be a stressful activity since the forum is flooded with spam. Other sources prefer to use these merits to distribute among people they already know and other legendary members. Creating a deflationary effect. And to be honest, I do not see a gain in the community if the activity of distributing merit becomes such a burden to some people.

In addition, in all systems, there is the possibility of a group gamify the process to its own advantage. This not only alters the entire initial purpose but also makes it difficult for other users.

Meritocracy is a very complicated system to analyze. And what we have here in the forum is a great experiment of this system.

In most researches and experiments it is necessary to add a random element. If you want to research the effectiveness of a drug, you add a control group that will take a placebo. It is very difficult to understand the efficiency of something if its distribution is centralized and fully controlled.

Therefore, I believe that Temporary sources of Merit should be added. It would last only 14 days. What he did not use would be burned. And his choice would be by a random algorithmic. Of course, so that it is not a total waste sending sMerit to a ghost, some elements in the equation would be added. The user would have to receive at least 1 merit in the last 120 days and have written something in the last 14 days, at least.

For those who are curious about the lucky element in a meritocracy, there is a recent study on this.
If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? Turns out it’s just chance.

It's a gossip about a subject that many seek to know more about. Nothing was said about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. The subject of the article was exclusively about how ridiculous the whole event was.

An event at the beach, with people wearing swimsuits and a person in a cowboy hat arguing with a person wearing a cap. If it were not for this event, it would be another event with several Lamborghinis.

An event at a University where Phil Zimmermann talks for 2 hours on issues related to cryptographic privacy. Or with Antonopoulos explaining the quality and necessity of decentralization will never attract as many clicks as two people fighting over a stage.

I think that's a very interesting idea. But Your first attitude should be to appoint two other people to a board.

This board would have the person primarily responsible for the project, plus you and another third person who is well known in the Bitcoin community. One of the big problems in any news site and youtube channel relate to cryptocurrencies, is the constant conflict between the editorial line and the commercial opportunities.

Another request is that the channel could comment on issues beyond Bitcoin but involving crypto, internet security and altcoins. The third request is to do everything to try to find a woman to be responsible for the project or at least for the presentation.

He uses only the mainstream tools. This article is a bit stupid, it does not bring anything new that some other people might not know. I thought there would be some mysterious forum, a selection of feeds or some news terminal. He uses traditional social networks and has direct contact with what appears to be important people in this crypto environment.

Where is the link to the article talking about it? Your text has very little information and it is not possible to confirm if this, in fact, occurred.

There have been other people who have tried something similar for a short period of time. It even has the case of a forum member who traveled for a long period exchanging BTC for p2p. I believe that as entertainment is something relatively interesting. But it's still far from viable. BTC is only accepted as an experiment in very specific stores.

I'm participating in the other campaign you're managing. As the maximum number of posts has changed and as I usually write well over 20 posts a week, I would like to change my campaign. I saw that you have open some vacancies for Sr Members.

If accepted, I will immediately change my signature.

Thanks

Brazilian retail giant Via Varejo has partnered with blockchain payment service Airfox, according to a September 12 press release.

Via Varejo, which owns home appliance and furniture chain Casa Bahia, is integrating Airfox’s digital banking platform on its e-commerce platforms, as well as in nearly 1,000 of its offline shops.

As the press release notes, customers will be able to purchase goods in Casa Bahia by paying directly via Airfox, or will be able to use microloans provided by the retail group. Customers can also reportedly use the app for personal finance, such as depositing and withdrawing cash, at the chain’s location. 

Airfox is a mobile financial service launched in February 2018 that includes fiat and blockchain payments via its AirToken (AIR) coin, an ERC-20 based token.

The press release outlines the importance of the collaboration for mass adoption of blockchain-powered payment services, letting the Airfox “extend its mobile digital wallet to Via Varejo's national customer base and drive mainstream adoption.”

Via Varejo is one of the largest consumer electronics and home appliance retailers in Brazil, reaching 60 million customers in Brazil via its brands Casas Bahia and Pontofrio. The company owns over 900 stores in 350 Brazilian cities, reportedly making as much as 1 million deliveries per month.

According to the recent press-release, Via Varejo handled approximately $6.3 billion sales in 2017.

I was thinking about this, often the suggestion of how to spend or on the usefulness of a cryptocurrency involves buying a coffee or snack.

But this is far from real. A simple example was the user here of the forum. He had spent time in jail and on leaving decided to order a pizza paying in Bitcoins. His experience was terrible and he lost forever those Bitcoins.

Small-value trading is very difficult, expensive and involves a scale that cryptocurrencies are far from reaching. Pictures of someone paying their lunch with BTC, LTC, BCH etc are only possible because they are rare occasions.

Now there are several opportunities that cryptocurrencies could already be involved. Mainly in international trade. Companies could have their costs reduced on a large scale if they could use Bitcoin in offshore transactions. Buying and selling between companies would have much fewer intermediaries, lower costs and a much simpler audit.

Another use could be for NGOs. The audit and universality of the payment by Bitcoins greatly facilitate the search for resources. Even because an immediacy in a transaction is not necessary. The request for more NGOs like Greenpeace, WWF etc to use Bitcoin should be higher.

And eventually, with smart contracts, a new way of giving or negotiating could emerge. Cryptocurrencies should be used to break down walls around the world.
