@hendra147. This is a big joke and the person behind it also a big joke. We even see hv_, one the most ardent bitcoin sv supporters in bitcointalk wash his hands off from this stupid horseplay hehehe.

Quote
Five years ago, the crypto community became aware of an alleged contract called the Tulip Trust. The supposed contract emerged when a few tech-based news outlets published stories on two former business partners Craig Wright and David Kleiman. According to the Tulip Trust contract story, Wright and Kleiman were ostensibly part of the group that invented Bitcoin. The trust claims that on January 1, 2020, approximately 1,100,111 BTC will be returned to Wright and now skeptics are patiently waiting for the arrival of a bonded courier.

The tulip trust must be expired right now, but some peple still waiting the "tulip trust" will come.
people who still trust sathosi nakamoto is David Kleiman will says BCH will take over bitcoin, what do you think about this issue?

@Hueristic. Hehehe what do you imply with nothing? No website or that nothing is happenning in there?

I go there for the developer announcements. That forum needs more activity, however.

@kabit9. The best time would on $0.50 or lower, yes it might go lower than theymos' speculated bottom.

In any case, I predict that we would see grin on $0.50 within 6 months.

He might be oversimplifying it and from his oversimplification, can we also tell everyone that other markets are also pyramid schemes like the stockmarket?

I am also not as bullish similar to theymos and put my range to 6801 - 6850. I speculate that this halving might be the time of discovery and the beginning of a discussion of bitcoin's flaws.
5786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple is less decentralized than BTC and ETH, but that’s not necessarily bad on: January 03, 2020, 01:12:53 AM
This actually loled me.  Roll Eyes

Ripple being less decentralized or more with the description of these establishments and articles, this will not replace the fact that it's a centralized coin. From the very beginning of the article, if you have understood it correctly, half of the supply is in escrow and they are always boasting the partnerships with the banks.

How it can have a part of decentralization?

Agreed! Also, what most of the people in the cryptospace do not know is when a user wants to run a node, he needs permission from Ripple for his node to become part of Ripple's unique node list to become a validator. You should not need this permission.
5787  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Really Hit $1 Million? Demirors Warns Halving May Have Zero Impact on: January 02, 2020, 02:33:52 AM
the contrarian in me is thrilled to see these bearish opinions. it seems like lots of people are beginning to doubt the halving narrative. this is a good thing: bull markets are built on skepticism and pessimism. i'd be a lot more worried right now if everyone was bullish and hopeful.

let the bears keep shorting bitcoin 5 months from the halving. see what happens. Wink
However, what would be your argument for her prediction that investors', assuming she is talking about the institutional investors, preference towards bitcoin derivatived instead of bitcoin?

Her argument is that no pump will occur because all money will be in cryptoderivatives.

we don't need institutional investors for price to rise, especially considering how illiquid the market is. bitcoin's extremely limited supply and retail investor demand alone can spark another parabolic bubble IMO.

also, physically backed and delivered derivatives have BTC underlying them, so if institutions are bullish on BTC, strong demand in these derivatives markets (like bakkt) will drive spot prices upwards.

However, bitcoin market is more regulated today than before. It might be harder for the pumpers to pump it similar to the Mtgox bot pump and the Bitfinex Tether printing pump hehehe.
5788  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next Bitcoin Halving will drive the price down... on: January 02, 2020, 02:11:46 AM
The exact same thing was said about the previous one and no doubt the one before that. It will be said for every one in future until the block reward becomes a trickle.

Compare hash rates to the first one. I think we're just a little bit higher these days.

It has only been 2 halvings. This is not much data to be certain that miner capitulation will not occur on the next one. Also, bitcoin is more regulated today than 4 years ago. It might be harder to pump without the institutional investors' help.

@ene1980. His transformation might be clearer if compared with his pictures from before 2019 on lightweight and featherweight. That pitcure on the right might be in a similar weight on the left, however, the picture on the left appears to be more ready for a fight hehehe.
5790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: January 02, 2020, 12:55:09 AM
@nutildah. My predictions are Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New Orleans and the Seatte Seahawks.

Why did the sportsbooks set the spread for the Seahawks and the Eagles very close? I reckon the Seahawks have the big advantage if we base performance on the regular season.

That is another instance of how the fiat system is taming the cryptospace. The delisting or the refusal to list of anonymous coins by exchanges under the orders of the regulators.

Ehm. Isn't the main purpose of these coins to be traded back and forth anonymously? I would say it's much better to have centralized exchanges not mess around with them. It obviously hurts the liquidity, but in return you get a greater deal of privacy. Anyone buying such coins from a centralized exchange to finance or buy something the state doesn't want is a dumbo.

Also, the actual use of these coins is highly overrated when it comes to their privacy features. Not enough people care enough about what features they offer to actually be upset about exchanges removing them slowly but surely. I expected the use of these coins to pick up, but adoption wise they haven't gotten anywhere.

That might be true only because most of the people who are participating in the cryptospace are only using cryptocoins as speculative investments. That might not be true anymore in the future when everyone begins using them as currency.

Anonymous coins might cause the fiat system the greatest harm and we should support those that might cause the greatest harm.
5793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 31, 2019, 01:55:37 AM
before watching the Nina Ansaroff fight i would have easily gone for Claudia to win but after that fight i am not picking Claudia just like that because of past performance.
I am picking Cláudia Gadelha in this fight simply because of her ground skills and i am expecting her to take Alexa Grasso down and win the fight. Alexa Grasso is coming into the fight from a loss against Carla Esparza and i am expecting the same game plan from Claudia too.

You are right, Claudia VS Alexa should be another great fight too,  in this one i would like to bet on Alexa because i have seen her past fights and i feel like she has some nice potential. I saw her in the UFC in Mexico a couple of years ago, it was a nice show.
The problem i see with Alexa grasso is her fighting style, she is not that great on the ground and she likes the stand up fight and she always struggle against wrestlers and you can expect Claudia to take her down easily and control the fight. I bet you had a great experience watching the fight live in the stadium.

Claudia also has more experience versus more tough fighters in the UFC.

Conor's transformation. He has more bulky muscles than the time he fought Nate Diaz also in welterweight. I speculate that his speed might be affected by the bulk. He might also be stronger, however.

Is bitcoin losing in its fight versus the fiat system? I reckon there is nothing users could do versus exchanges, which might be the real power overseeing everything behind the cryptospace.

Nah. Some day there'll be a significant proportion of people earning and paying in crypto and it'll be the thing they'll want above anything else in return for selling their shit.

There'll always be the need for fiat but it won't be the absolute be all and end all as it is now. This is a transitional period.

The quicker the loop closes the less power the old system has. Just as their anality reaches fever pitch they may find a whole section of the world's population has drifted away with little requirement to dip into their anus in future.

Right this very moment I am earning BTC writing this bilge. I've paid a few people with it for repairs and a few bits of tat and they've paid others with it. Next year I'm renting a place in the US with BTC. I directed the bloke to Bitpay but he said wasn't interested and intended to see where it went. Times that by a few countries and off you go.

Someday. How long will this be? We speculated that the cryptospace would disrupt and tame the fiat system, however, it is the system that is taming bitcoin through strict regulations, KYC.
5795  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-12-28] Bomb Threats Demanding Bitcoin Force Evacuations Across Russia on: December 31, 2019, 12:52:14 AM
Does anyone know why they asked for payments in BTC? Huh I mean that using a privacy coin like Monero would be appropriate

Why do most dark markets still run on BTC when many of them have a Monero option? Because people are lazy and it's more convenient despite the constant risk of it coming back to bite them.

My skeptical answer? The darknet vendors might be people from the drug enforcement agencies hehehe. 

In any case, the transition will be slow, however, I speculate anonymous coins will be the next sought after store of value.

@bigslimvdub. I reckon a 6 month signature or avatar campaign in this forum might help spread some awareness and adoption.

Aeon is ready.

@estenity. bigslimvdub already applied on the new Poloniex, however. Their response was not positive. They were responding to tell us not to respond on their response hehehe.

I reckon we should use a new tactic. Be listed in all the smallest exchanges without KYC hehe.

The skeptical me thinks that this might be another move to create negative news for bitcoin. However, I reckon that this might also be the beginning of a time when some criminal syndicates use the cryptospace not only for drugs, they might begin using it more for kidnap for ransom and extortion.
