@Harlot. Agreed. However, he might not be wrong on what might occur after the next halving hehehe. It would be clearly disadvantageous for the smaller mining farms if the price of bitcoin does not pump. The skeptical me thinks that this is not a race to get 12.5 BTC before the halving. It might be the big mining farms geting ready to kill the small mining farms after the halving. Bitcoin’s mining difficulty, an indicator of competition among bitcoin miners, also touched 16.10 trillion (T) today, as compared to its all-time high of 16.55 T recorded in March.
It suggests that more miners have joined the race ahead of the halving, which will see mining reward per-block reduce from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC. The halving is expected to occur next week on May 12.
"After the halving, however, the first 1008 blocks will face higher mining difficulty and lower payouts," De La Torre told The Block.Source https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/64034/bitcoins-mining-difficulty-and-hashrate-near-all-time-highs-ahead-of-halving-hinting-at-increased-mining-activity |

We might see a fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal for the BMF belt, i was expecting a trilogy with Nate Diaz but uncle Dana has other plans  . These are speculation by the media when UFC president announced that he has other plans for Masvidal other than Kamaru Usman, even if we assume that they are going to put together that fight how McGregor is able to fly to US and even if they could fly in a private plane with permission from both the countries when can we expect the fight to happen. The promotion for the BMF belt is finished. However, what we might witness is Jorge Masvidal fight in the boxing ring. Is Canelo Alvarez under the origanization of Oscar dela Hoya? Oscar De La Hoya and Dana White haven’t seen eye to eye lately but that seems to have changed.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the combat sports world, like the rest of the world, has been forced to shut down. Yet, White and the UFC plan on returning on May 9 which De La Hoya respects.
“I commend and respect Dana,” De La Hoya said on CBS Sports’ “State of Combat” podcast (via MMAJunkie). “We did have our differences. When I wanted to get involved with the MMA, I did Chuck Liddell (vs.) Tito Ortiz. It was a huge success. I dipped my toes into the water, and I experienced it. It was actually wonderful. I love the MMA.Read in full https://www.mmanews.com/oscar-de-la-hoya-praises-dana-white-for-doing-a-phenomenal-job-during-covid-19-pandemic/ |

Similar to what the polls said about Hillary and Trump on the last election hehe.
I speculate that Biden's running mate might be a woman. The democrats want their first woman president after their first black president hehehehe.
The only way for this is through 77 year old Biden who the democrats will make sure not finish his term.
What about some of those primary candidates, such as Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris or Kirsten Gillibrand? Personally, I would prefer someone who is energetic and popular with the youth, such as Tulsi Gabbard. He's 77 years old, and non-Hispanic white. He needs a running mate, who is young, and non-white. Someone who can attract the youth vote. Agreed! Do you read a lot about American politics? In any case, if I was given the power to choose who would run under the democratic party, I like Bernie Sanders and Tulsi. They are scared of people who want real change, however hehehe. |

In any case, what would be Trumps odds versus only Joe Biden? Who would the odds favor after the debates and campaigns?
The polls seem to favor Biden, but polls are wrong more often than not. In reality polls are a joke, often posing questions designed to illicit the response the pollsters want. I really believe that Biden doesn't have a chance against Trump. I think the Democrats are starting to see it as well. I doubt they'll give the nomination to anyone else, but I think they are desperate to find a strong running mate for him. I wouldn't be surprised if they are negotiating with Cuomo, who seems to be the Democrats' Darling Du Jour. Similar to what the polls said about Hillary and Trump on the last election hehe. I speculate that Biden's running mate might be a woman. The democrats want their first woman president after their first black president hehehehe.

@smooth. Yes I know. Aeon is one of the most private of all cryptocoins. However, no. I was really hoping someone can give me an answer and I can better understand this pump hehehehe.

@Febo. The whale who I assume to be americanpegasus appears to holding, however hehehehe.
Can anyone check Bittrex and Tradeoger's Aeon addresses? Have there been Aeon sent out?

News update. It appears that the TON developers have received the right amount of pressure from the SEC to postpone their launch again. Why does the SEC not make them settle? EOS' Block.one and others did it. Are the SEC only choosing the projects they like which are allowed to settle? What if the SEC have been corrupted by billionaires who hold ETH, EOS or XRP? Messaging app giant Telegram has further postponed the launch of its TON blockchain network -- this time by one more year.
The company was scheduled to launch Telegram Open Network (TON) today, but it has now been delayed to April 30, 2021, according to Telegram’s letter to investors on Wednesday (the letter was posted by a Russian forum).
Telegram cites "recent U.S. district court decision" as the reason for the delay. Last month, a U.S. judge ruled that the company cannot launch its blockchain or issue gram tokens until its case with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is resolved.
Telegram and the SEC have been in a legal battle since October 2019, when the regulator sued Telegram for conducting an “illegal” sale of its gram tokens and allegedly violating securities laws. Telegram raised $1.7 billion in 2018 by pre-selling its gram tokens.
The legal battle first forced Telegram to delay the TON launch from October to April 2020, and now to April 2021.Read in full https://www.theblockcrypto.com/amp/post/63524/telegram-now-delays-launch-of-its-blockchain-by-one-more-year-ready-to-return-investor-money |

What is this? The Ethereum foundation pays developers to use Ethereum to develop dapps? We have never seen Amazon pay developers to create apps on AWS before hehehehe. I any case, does anyone have a subscription on theblockcrypto.com or the full list of projects that were given the grants? More than 150 Ethereum projects have received nearly $25 million in total grant money to date.
The Ethereum Foundation is the biggest donor, awarding over $21 million of the total amount, according to a study by The Block’s Steven Zheng. The foundation is followed by the Ethereum Community Fund, Aragon Foundation, ConsenSys and Protocol Labs.
The Ethereum Foundation leads the pack not only in terms of the total dollar value of grants, but also in terms of the number of grants. The foundation has given out a total of 94 grants to date.
Projects that have received the highest amount of grant funding to date are Parity Technologies, Starkware, Prysmatic Labs, L4 Research, and Status.Read in full https://www.theblockcrypto.com/amp/linked/63732/ethereum-projects-25-million |

@mindrust. Agreed!
I have another speculation. If it was not clickbots that stopped because they are on quarantine, maybe Mike Dudas is an outspoken Trump supporter on Twitter. Jack Dorsey is a democrat hehehehe.

After looking into the present situation I believe Trump will not get reelected for a second term. I do not know what will happen in the next 3 to 4 months. But, if the current situation prevails then it is very hard for him to win the election.
Everyone in US is suffering because of the deadly virus and this situation has also crippled the economy. All of these are bad signs. If a vaccine is out before the elections then Trump has the ability to change the mood of the nation.
I disagree. Trump's odds will improve. The American people are scared and I reckon they will stay with Trump because of the fear that Joe Biden might worsen the situation. Also, where do you get your information? The mainstream fake news media are controlled by democrats. In any case, what would be Trumps odds versus only Joe Biden? Who would the odds favor after the debates and campaigns? |

However, what is the news update on Deontay Wilder? Will he accept the money offered to step aside? Nevermind Anthony Joshua's opponent. For certain he will take his offer hehehe.

@mahilchii. I reckon you have to know more about the asset that you are buying before defending it. I do not dislike Ripple, however, it is a centralized project that advertises itself as a decentralized platform to trick people that it is similar to bitcoin.

@mindrust. It is 4 years.
Also, I have not read a more uninformed post about Bernie Sanders than the communist characterization. He might be left wing, however, he is more reasonable than the other democratic candidates.

@gentlemand. It was only the bitcoin news media influencers that noticed and were beginning to worry because their influence might be growing smaller hehehe.
In any case, our forum thread bumping farm should go to Twitter. Their service is needed hehe.

@hatshepsut93. It also appears that Mike Dudas is not aware of the possibility that his impressions, that might have come from an office of clickbots liking his posts, might have closed because of the coronavirus quarantines hehehe.

@bitmover. However, eliminating the government will not eliminate the violence and exploitation of good people. It is similar to the people of the cryptospace crying for freedom from government but calling on the SEC if they see an ICO they do not like hehehehe.

Probably some from Column A and some from Column B.
They have an office in high-rent San Francisco, with 17 employees. They last raised seed money in 2016. They have probably never turned much profit, and have now burned through their venture capital.
If the company were stripped down to the bare bones -- and with the added value Roger Ver will get from promoting BCH or his other ventures -- perhaps an acquisition makes sense. I don't know anyone else besides Roger Ver who has the money and unique incentives to make it worth it. I don't personally see much of a future for Purse.io, but I'm no business guru.
Will purse.io transform into a scam political attack tool under Roger Ver's ownership or he should be cheered because he saved it? I reckon this question might be on some bitcoiners' heads with no answer hehehe. I bet someone will use this quote from movie The Dark Knight Rises, which is "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". But apparently Purse.io chose to "die a hero". It died a hero by accepting money from Roger Ver to save it and clearly use it as a passive political attack tool? I reckon that it might also be continued to be used as a money laundering tool as mentioned by gmaxwell. It appears that I might be correct on this. |
