That proves strict regulation on cryptocurrency only could annoy regular user & stop lesser criminal, while other criminal are smart to use cryptocurrency without use exchange/services which could de-anonymize/freeze their funds.

I'm more interested to see privacy-focused cryptocurrency usage on darknet, if chainalysis could do it

Aside from the misinterpretation of the year 2017 chart, bitcoin was not the only coin used as payment on darknet I think the purpose was to  target bitcoin through the creation of FUD for only the newbie of the darknet web site will still continue to use bitcoin as their payment despite all the claim which was said about tumbler site this and for bitcoin not been totally anonymous.

It was best race this season and one of the best races in few recent years. Verstappen had awful start, but then he performed amazing. But yeah, that accident with Leclerc left bad taste in the mouth and it's still under investigation. I'm not sure that he should be punished, it's very questionable moment. But I think that he didn't had to risk so much. He was faster than Leclerc and he probable would overtake him safely on next DRS zone. Leclerc again was very close from winning his first F1 race...
Vettel today had good race. But it's worth to say that he lost too much time during one pit stop.
EDIT F1 just announced that no further action on lap 69 incident, so Verstappen remains 1st

Some of my friend still investing ethereum for other reason, they waiting for eth 2.0. and that fact will be same this situation for growing up eth price on the market, i am agree about $500 become next month.

The title doesn't sound correct, it is estimated that there's around 35 million users of exchanges, and most investors have more than 0.01 BTC are whatever is the limit, and not all exchanges have such high minimal withdrawal thresholds, so the number of affected investors should be much lower, maybe a few hundreds of thousands in worst case. And of course "can't sell" is also not correct, people always can make direct trades, or use currency converter services instead of the markets.

Incredibly stupid for any long established entity to be recommending anywhere in such a fucked up space. If they want to hype they can still do it without naming names.

If money did change hands, and I can't imagine any other reason why they'd nominate such a nothing fuckhole, then someone should be ending the day with a smacked botty.

Just put yourself in the mindset that Satoshi might have had when he created those "test" addresses and when he mined those coins in the early experimental year of Bitcoin back in 2009/2010. You release the code and nobody is taking it serious, so you start off by mining some coins and then showcasing how it works to people on anonymous platforms.

It is a chaotic time and you are still ironing out the problems and answering people's questions and also trying to hide your real identity <because it is illegal in most countries to create your own currency>

So what do you do? Record all the private keys and take the risk that you might get raided and that it might be held as evidence against you? Nah, I seriously think Satoshi mined those coins just to get things moving and he did not even bother to "archive" most of the private keys that he/she or they were generating. 

Conventional wisdom says that if you are getting something for free, then you are the product, and this is especially true for investment advice - why would anyone give it for free if they can keep it to themselves and make more money? People often advice newbies to do their own research, but we see that many people are thinking that "making their research" means reading crappy news sites like CNBC, so maybe we should also tell newbies to be aware of shills that promote scams, and that even high-profile sites can be shills too.

I am going to take this one step further, because I think regulators are going to differentiate between "public" and "private" and also "permissioned" vs "permissionless" very soon. They need a way to protect their "permissioned" Blockchains and to regulate it in a way to give advantage to their own technology <GovCoins> and to slow down or possibly ban the "permissionless" or "public" Blockchain technologies.

It will not be obvious in the beginning, but you will see "permissioned" technologies being boosted by governments and loopholes closed for other technologies.  

Amazing end story. When first 4 years of a developers mining fee are slowly running out they already talk about new coin. And amazing reason why. Because it have optional privacy = transparent ledger and because it cant scale. LOL

Facebook is having billions or users and they won't care if a few thousand accounts get deactivated. I would like to get some free Libra coins as promotional offer and I would later convert them to BTC or ETH. Let's treat Libra the same way as we treated Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Just collect the freebies and exchange them for something more valuable. I don't have any BSV in my wallet right now. I have converted all of them to BTC long back. Would do the same to Libra as well.
