LMAO





Don't laugh, maybe he was away for a year or two and didn't follow latest developments regarding Ripple and XRP

Maybe he was laughing because Sling Blade looks similar to Ripple's chief cryptographer hehehe.

I do not follow Ripple closely. However, unless their developers open the validation process to everyone, Ripple is a centalized payment system and this might make it easier for the SEC to shut it down.

- Will Hodor appear as a White Walker or Wight in season 8? Yes (1.52) No (2.41)

^ Thats some short odds for Yes. Hoping it's not due to a leak, i'm not sure I can take seeing the big man as a wight! Could lead to some surprises for the showdown between NK and Bran though.


What were your thoughts on Episode 2?


Ronnie @ Cloudbet

It might not be due to a leak. It might be because Beric Donadarrion said that the Umbers are fighting for the Night King now. I reckon we can safely assume that we would see some dead characters revived as wights.

In any case, who will die on episode 3? Davos Seaworth is 3.46 in Bitcoinrush. He might not be as lucky this time hehehe.

@Carlton Banks. Yes I am sharing my thoughts and frustration on the news. It was not only a clickbait title, it might also be a paid promotion from Bitpay. That is how corrupt the bitcoin news media might be today. Do you not agree?

Also, You are avoiding the issue. You start something and when I argue straight to the issue you attack me personally. Why?

Are you also not sure what the answer to the issue is and would preferably rely on what the authorities in the cryptospace say?

@Carlton Banks. However, was it fud? Am I not allowed to question the monetary policy of bitcoin and open a discussion to argue that it might not be sustainable for the very longterm when all the coins are mined?
6725  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] What Russia’s ‘Digital Iron Curtain’ Means for Bitcoin Users on: April 23, 2019, 03:28:13 AM
No, no one in any government has good intentions whenever they create a new policy or a new legislation. It is always in accordance to their own agendas and their backers' agendas. Do you reckon that they rose in power because they care for you hehehe?



It has been reported by Bitcoinist that the "digital assets" law currently being proposed in Russia has come under scruitiny even before it is to be reviewed by regulators in May. Concerns include how it will affect crypto businesses in the country, the fact it may cut off low income investors, and the reality that Russia can only regulate Russia, but crypto is worldwide.

Another concern is that it will drive a divide between basically rich and poor investors. It would demand that unless an investor is "accredited," they can only purchase up to $10,000 worth of crypto. However in order to be accredited, one must possess at least $150,000 worth of assets. It is literally an issue of people being too poor to be allowed to make more money.

Lastly, it has been pointed out that this regulation may be a bit futile, as Russia can only police itself, but crypto markets know no boundaries. In the article, Roman Khoroshev, founder of a Russian crypto crowdlending platform, is quoted:

"Undoubtedly, the central bank and lawmakers have good intentions in imposing restriction on unaccredited investors. It is usually their money that typically ends up in the hands of scammers. But the problem is in controlling this process. It’s almost impossible to track as the bill only proposes to regulate the cryptocurrency market within the Russian jurisdiction."

@HairyMaclairy. Put yourself in a grin miner's situation and ask yourself what holds its value better, grin or bitcoin? I reckon the first 10 years of grin's price might move similar to what we are seeing in dogecoin.

@Cryptotourist. This might go sub $1.00. I already learned my lesson in bagholding Aeon. I will not do it again hehehe.

I will be very patient on grin.
6727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation on: April 23, 2019, 01:51:50 AM
This might be the real cause of Ripple's dump on the market. The article also mentions of another Ripple employee who has been dumping his Ripple tokens, who is it?

Is the Ripple cofounder, Jed Mccaleb, also not finished dumping the billions of Ripples that he holds?



XRP Ripple’s David Schwartz gets called out for selling his XRP; user brands it ‘biggest warning sign’ for XRP hodlers

The cryptocurrency market saw most major coins fall considerably on April 21 as Bitcoin BTC, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, registered a dip in prices. XRP, the third largest cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap, also faced the brunt of BTC’s dip. XRP’s bear market has contributed to many XRP enthusiasts doubting their position. This was reflected in a tweet by a Twitter user, claiming to have seen the ‘biggest warning sign’ for XRP hodlers.

Twitter user @hlnoooo tweeted,

“Warning to all $XRP holders.
Ripple CTO @JoelKatz recently selling his $XRP stack is the biggest warning sign one could ever get. This is the most bearish sign for $XRP I have ever witnessed since beginning of ’17.”

Apart from Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, selling his XRP, the user observed a similar trading behaviour with another “Ripple employee,” who was also selling his/her XRP over the past few days. The SEC’s ‘Framework for Analysis of Digital Assets,’ hinting at a possibility of XRP being termed as a security in the long-term was speculated to be the reason behind the sale of these XRPs.

6728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Khan on: April 22, 2019, 04:06:22 AM
No one mention about Khan's glass balls lmao.
I'm slightly disappointed with this fight (except for the first round). The building was good, but the match was not satisfying. By the way, congratulation bettors!

Terence was a very big favorite, I reckon. It would not have given anyone a satisfying payback for anyone who was not going to take a big risk that there is always a puncher's chance for Amir Khan.

However, agreed! Amir Khan is no chin and degenerated.
6729  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could still crash below $3000 - Vinny Lingham on: April 22, 2019, 03:05:39 AM
Maybe he was right since the market is not yet in the bullish stage there is still a tendency that it would back to where it wanted since the price right now maybe some kind of a bull trap.

At these price levels it doesn't feel like there's that much conviction around at present. I could easily see it falling back into the $3000s. Going below the previous low though would have to wade through an awful lot of orders to get there. Things can turn in an instant so it's possible but it's going to take some effort and it won't be for a while.

Anything can happen, however, easily back to $3000? I reckon it might be harder for bitcoin to fall back into the $3000s than flying over $6000s. No one is dumping their bitcoins anymore, only their altcoins hehehe.
6730  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-18] Corporate Traveller Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments on: April 22, 2019, 02:52:17 AM
@1Referee. That does not make their attempts to market their sites right by using clickbait titles and hype articles. I reckon it is close to unethical because they are supposed to be the bringer of news which should be composed of the facts.
6731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!] on: April 22, 2019, 12:27:21 AM
@spadormie. Agreed. However Reddit is a good source of ideas and speculations if you are betting on the tv show hehehe. The Youtube channels Talking Thrones and Alt Shift X are also rich sources of information.

Game of Thrones will start in 30 minutes.
6732  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Grin Observer - GRN/BTC - Price Movement and Discussion on: April 21, 2019, 02:05:32 AM
@HairyMaclairy. Those orders might be market makers just market making hehehe. Are those the buys? Can you post the large orders on the sells of the order book? I reckon the same person has also 2 somewhere.

@Hueristic. Agreed!
6733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!] on: April 21, 2019, 01:19:31 AM
@buwaytress. I want the suspense hehehe. I also have some bets on Cloudbet's head to head who will die first which makes watching the first screening more exciting.

Does anyone have any predictions for episode 2? I reckon Jaime will be forgiven by Bran and Jon. Sansa and Arya will have their own apprehensions. However, they will not do anything for now hehe.

Daenarys might also begin losing more of her questionable influence as queen in the alliance.
6734  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could still crash below $3000 - Vinny Lingham on: April 20, 2019, 03:23:03 AM
We have another candidate to include in our list of funniest trading experts in the cryptospace hehehe. This makes me shake my head and ask myself what their real agenda is. If bitcoin is bullish, this type of person is bearish, if bitcoin is beginning to be bullish, the same person is bearish.

Tom Lee will not be delighted.



However, one analyst, Murad Mahmudov of Adaptive Capital, is predicting that over the coming week or two, the cryptocurrency markets will finally begin to show signs of action after some further stagnation. In a recent Trading View post, the prominent analyst, who skyrocketed to fame partially as a result of his appearance on Anthony Pompliano’s “Off The Chain” podcast, explained a potential scenario he sees for BTC.

Mahmudov depicted the fact that over the past three weeks, Bitcoin has tested $5,350 and failed seven times. He adds that with one or two more tests of that local resistance level, which will come over the next two weeks, the asset is likely to break out. And once $5,350 is convincingly broken, Mahmudov explained that BTC could easily rally to $5,750, as there is a clear lack of liquidity in between $5,400 and $5,700. $5,750 is important, in that this is where Bitcoin traded at for months on end in the middle of 2018.

While some are convinced that BTC will break through the long-standing level of importance, Mahmudov expressed that he expects for the crypto asset to fail to surmount that level, falling instead of breaking through. He depicted that if BTC fails to break $5,750, it could easily collapse through $5,000 to $4,800, and set this market under an array of key short-term support levels.

This lines up with his previous theories that cryptocurrencies aren’t out of a bear market just yet. As reported by Ethereum World News previously, he has drawn attention to the $1,700 region as the potential point at where Bitcoin will finally bottom.

What's with all this dick swinging when it comes to this? If it were me I'd let it fall apart but I have a sizeable lack of sentimentality problem. I don't get why a string of billionaires are laying out for this when they could be solving some real problems.

Attention for their own companies and brands. Similar to some of my scorn on the bitcoin news media, this also applies to all this dick swinging. None of them are authentic. They have their own agendas.
6736  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-18] Corporate Traveller Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments on: April 20, 2019, 02:23:13 AM
@gentlemand. The title of the article is clickbait, I reckon. It might not be a hype article for bitcoin, however, it is a kind of promotion for Bitpay which might be their way to adverise their company from their expectations for the coming bitcoin craze phase.
6737  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] What Russia’s ‘Digital Iron Curtain’ Means for Bitcoin Users on: April 19, 2019, 11:40:24 PM
@veleten. China holds $1.17 trillion in US treasury bonds, while Russia does not hold anything and might also have given up their position as a nuclear super power.

I don't see how would this justify treating any information coming from Russia in a certain biased way
this is not journalism but propaganda
Russia used to have at least 0.11 trillion in US treasury bonds
they sold over 80% in 2018 , not surprisingly
but I wonder how they are going to give up their position as a nuclear superpower if they hold the top 2 nuclear arsenal in the world
and if we compare the quality of their ICBM to the US ones , they are way newer and better

It does not change the reason why China can get away from doing some things and remain America's biggest trading partner, similar to what veleten said. The reason is clearly because China owns America hehehe.

@LeGaulois. Agreed! Money laundering. They also want that right and ability only for themselves, not for everyone.
6738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Grin Observer - GRN/BTC - Price Movement and Discussion on: April 19, 2019, 05:29:27 AM
Can't wait when all this FUD about Grin, turns into FOMO. Grin

There is no fud on grin, however, only basic economics. Its monetary policy is to overwhelm the market of its supply and create it to be a medium of exchange in the beginning before it becomes a store of value.
6739  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-18] Corporate Traveller Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments on: April 19, 2019, 04:38:09 AM
I reckon the bitcoin news media should stop these misleading types of news articles about bitcoin's acceptance. The payments are processed by Bitpay and converted to fiat.

Corporate Traveller is not accepting bitcoin. It is using Bitpay's services to accept fiat.

the amount of BTC that merchants convert to fiat is chosen by the merchant which use these payments companies

are you claiming to know the details of every BTC transaction this merchant will ever make, in the remaining entirety of space-time?

No. I am claiming that the way the article is written is to hype bitcoin similar to what most of the bitcoin news media have been doing from bitcoin to altcoins to ICOs.
6740  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] What Russia’s ‘Digital Iron Curtain’ Means for Bitcoin Users on: April 19, 2019, 04:18:31 AM
if the article tells the truth I do not know, but the political system of russia is a very shady political system and it does not seem to me that russia intends to see bitcoin being adopted en masse in its country, it seems to me that what the Russian government want is greatly reduce the number of people using bitcoin so that the Russian government has more control over the small number of people who use bitcoin in their country. This is something expected of governments that have a shadowy political system, for this kind of government to remain in power is because they control and manipulate their people.

However, can the Russian government enforce any ban or enforce any strict regulations created on bitcoin? What would stop me if I use a VPN, Tor, proxies and bitcoin?
