@pooya87. Why would he support Craig S. Wright's scam, however? There are many other cryptocoins and projects that would not hurt his reputation.
5862  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [2019-12-13] Russia’s Largest Darknet Market Is Hawking an ICO to Fund Expansion on: December 13, 2019, 12:57:59 AM
This might be the best representation of how the cryptospace should be in financial freedom, in seeking funding democratically and in removing the middleman.

However, this might also be an exit scam hehehe.



Hydra, reportedly the largest darknet marketplace serving Russia and neighboring countries, claims it is seeking to raise $146 million through a token sale to fund a worldwide expansion. The sale is scheduled to launch Dec. 16, according to an investment memorandum on the site, which is hard to access without a special anonymized browser.

The tokens, priced at $100 each, will be available to purchase on the platform for bitcoin. A “package” of 100 tokens will provide a buyer with a 0.00333333 percent share of Hydra’s profit, the memorandum says. It makes no mention of which blockchain (if any) the tokens would run on.

Given the illicit nature of its business, Hydra’s token offering may be the most brazen ever, even compared to the ICOs that pushed the envelope of U.S. registration requirements in 2017. Russian news outlet Forklog warned that the sale could be an exit scam, a common occurrence in darknet markets.

Do you agree on Yahoo's Kevin Iole article here? Simply short of calling Ruiz deliberately losing this fight? (At least that's why I interpret it).

Quote
Andy Ruiz Jr. took the money and ran.

He took a fight that he had the capability of winning and he squandered it long before he ever made the trek to Saudi Arabia. He acted as if he’d hit the lottery on June 1 when he knocked out Anthony Joshua in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden in New York to win three of the four major heavyweight belts. On Saturday in Saudi Arabia, he paid for that dearly.

“I didn’t prepare how I should have,” Ruiz said. “I gained too much weight, but you know what? I don’t want to give no excuses. He won. He boxed me around. You better [expletive] believe I’m going to get in the [expletive] best shape of my life [for a third fight].”

Well, it’s too late for that.

This was a con job. Andy Ruiz defrauded the public by not even trying to get into shape. And then to say afterward that he’d try harder next time was one of the most galling things a fighter has ever said after a loss.

https://sports.yahoo.com/an-unprepared-overweight-andy-ruiz-jr-will-struggle-to-live-down-his-loss-to-anthony-joshua-000433363.html

Do you think Kevin has a point here, or he is simply over reacting?

That is a clickbait article. There might be some truth that Andy Ruiz did not train well and did not have the discipline for the training camp to the latest fight because the money might have made him lazy. However, writing an article that he did it to scam everyone is clickbait.

If Andy Ruiz is not training well and as a result could not give a good fight to at least entertain the crowd who bought expensive tickets to the fight, then he is indirectly scamming everyone. Giving a less than quality performance due to negligence and less focused-training is a way of scamming fans.

This article is more a conspiracy theory. In boxing however conspiracy theories could be very near to reality.

For the record though, Kevin is a well respected boxing writer and a member of BWA (boxing writer association) that's why I posted the link here and not some random writers out there who would write for click-bait.

So I consider him an insider and well knowledgeable, so it might be a conspiracy theory but yes, could be some truth in it.

In that case, can the article be used to begin a case to sue Andy Ruiz because he scammed the fans or is it only the writer's opinion that Andy scammed?

I'm not a lawyer but I guess one does not have to study law to know that news articles are not evidences. They cannot hold water in court regardless of what is written on it. Well, if the writer himself did the interview, and everything is recorded, and he heard him say that he sold the game to AJ or intentionally skipped regular training rounds to make sure he will not be fit on the fight day, then he could be the witness himself. But then I'm afraid no one will actually sue Andy for being in bad shape, putting up a bad performance, and losing. 

Yes that is why the article claiming a conspiracy theory that Andy Ruiz scammed the fans is clickbait and only an opinion written by a man who might be hating on the Mexican for losing that way. Maybe he made a big wager on him hehehe.

@pooya87. I speculate that Tom Lee might be buying during the late months of 2017, holding on all of 2018 and might have begun to dump when bitcoin was on $14,000 this year.

The coins he might have left holding are BCH and BSV that were extracted from his private keys. He might also be scamming his clients to buy them hehehehehe.

It appears Monero's fight for Asic resistance is becoming unsuccessful. I reckon this might not be good for Aeon if they change to a SHA3 mining algorithm that would be compatible to K12. We might be the neglected one again.



The mining hash rate for Monero has tripled following a recent change to the cryptocurrency's mining algorithm. The upgrade, called RandomX, is meant to make mining on the network more “general-purpose CPU” friendly. But the surging hash rate means Monero mining profitability has fallen off a cliff.

Do people still got shock to these kind of news? I guess not. People been warned for how many times but they are hardheaded enough not to mind those basic advises and what comes next is
a pile of people who whine and get angry because they've been scammed.  Grin
 

I reckon some of these news are not for the cryptospace followers and forum cave trolls like us who have seen it all hehe. It might be for everyone else to get more clicks.

@Searing. Hosting an interview for a scammer would not be the correct way to raise his profile, however.

https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincashSV/comments/e7aiio/bitcoin_sv_interview_hosted_by_tom_lee/

@bbc.reporter why in the world is Tom Lee hosting SV, and I hope this is the first and last time he’s associating himself with the BSV coin. Also I wonder will anyone be foolish enough to buy BSV coins because of this event, honestly I’m expecting a negative answer but it’ll be interesting to see what the community thinks of this event.

I do not know, however, I am certain that it might be about making money or making back the money he lost on bitcoin and he now hates bitcoin hehehe.

News update.

It appears that the expectations on this IPO did not meet the hype. Canaan raised less than 1/4 of what the company wanted.

Why did they do this during a bear market?



In November, it raised $90 million in its underwhelming IPO, slashing its original $400 million fundraising goal by 77.5%.

It appears you will lose both bets.

In any case, the Steelers might be desperate to win versus the Bills next week to be closer in getting a wild card spot. If they win, will they beat -2.5?

Clippers' next game is versus the Pacers and on the road and with no rest. I reckon moneyline on the +1.5 underdog Pacers might be the bet for a team that has a good record in their home stadium versus a playoff team with a bad record on the road hehehe.

Sorry to all the posters who were behind Andy Ruiz hehehe.

@Finestream. Agreed. Also, Andy Ruiz cannot be aggressive because he was heavier and slower than the first fight and Anthony Joshua was lighter and faster. Similar to what you said, AJ adjusted well. I reckon Andy Ruiz, did not.

That is massively discouraging news for huge dgb community and fans, i was in digibyte's telegram channel till an year ago and it was really active and dgb do have a really supporting community and most of them were not only hodlers but true believers in the project, with this news i think there will be some panic in the community and it can take some time to settle.

Jared Tate should stop if he cared for his community. He is only creating more danger on the value of his coin and the value of the money of the investors held on Digibyte.

Are you for real? Now it's Tate's fault that he wasn't afraid to call out this massive shilling by Poloniex and got banned for it?
I know that it's a hard choice whenever you have to step up and make a statement because the first one to speak always gets treated like shit, but it's the right thing to do.
Poloniex is acting like a bully delisting DB. It's in a way similar to what Binance did to BSV, but BSV was attacking BTC and CSW was lying about being Satoshi. This case is more of a you call us out we kick your ass kind of thing.

Yes, however, I did not say that it was Jared Tate's fault. But he should be careful with his words. There is a community of Digibyte holders that depend on him. He should put that into consideration also.
