If is that is what you waiting for to enable you buy Bitcoin at the cheaper rate then you may end up waiting in vain.

It might be time for him to sing I do not want to wait in vain for $3000 while he waits for it in vain to be dumped on $3000 hehehe.

I want to fill out the form but it's very long,
so I will give my opinion about privacy coins in my opinion,
coin provocation that I like only XVG, because it is still cheap and can potentially be expensive, especially if it has been burned,
it's just that after the incident in collaboration with pornhub the fame of XVG began to fall,
but I'm sure when the XVG back btc bull in 2019 will have a new ATH.

Verge is not a secure cryptocoin, however. It was 51% attacked 3 times. Why would you recommend everyone to buy it?

@elindinga. Does your survey collect ip addresses?

There is also will Sandor kill Clegane?. That is another no bet for me. Clegane will kill Sandor, I reckon.

6744  Bitcoin / Press / [2019-04-18] Corporate Traveller Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments on: April 18, 2019, 01:04:18 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.



Corporate Traveller, a subsidiary of the Flight Centre Group, has just announced that it will be accepting Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) due to increased demand from its clients.

Corporate Traveller is the UK’s largest business travel service and will be processing the cryptocurrency payments through BitPay. The payments will be converted to Pound sterling (GBP) and settled within two business days.

The company has said it sees the potential in blockchain technology and wants to be the first in their sector to integrate cryptocurrencies as payment.

@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.

The hype on China based Bo Shen's investments on EOS and Bitshares never stops. Another platform based in China is also Tron. It is no.2 in the China Center for Information and Industry Development's list of top cryptocoins when it replaced the former no.2 Ethereum, also a Bo Shen coin hehehe.

Casual basketball fan hehehe. How strong is the Raptors during the playoffs? They were leading by 16 points versus Orlando in game 1 and managed to lose the game in spite of the lead.

Lol! Raptors hasnt changed a bit. No wonder why they were called the "Barneys" in the post season.

What is a barney? That is the first time I heard someone describe a sportsteam as a cuddly, purple dinosaur that little children see on tv hehehe.

In any case, the Toronto Barneys won game 2.

@elda34b. Similar to America's SEC, it might be easy from them to create the laws but it might be hard to enforce them as regulations hehehe.

However, I also reckon that all the created government restrictions might also be good for the cryptospace as a challenge to find other methods of avoiding them hehehe.
6749  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] The SEC will turn the cryptospace into the the elite's playground on: April 17, 2019, 02:23:17 AM
This is the beginning of another government agenda to turn the cryptospace into something where only the elite can play. I would rather have the ICO scammers run around in a democratized playground where everyne can participate than the biggest scammers from business and government controlling everything.



According to proposed regulations, the government wants to restrict Russian traders to local crypto exchanges and also only allow “qualified” investors – e.g., those with a degree in economics and a certificate from the government – to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

What are the methods available to outmanoeuvre this? I reckon there is Tor, VPNs and proxies to make their jobs of regulating traffic very difficult.

Also, the Russian government might censor some centralized bitcoin websites, however, can it censor a random node from connecting to other random nodes?

I reckon that as long as the cars are required the V6 engines, Mercedes will always have the advantage over every team. They had advanced knowledge and research on it and used politics to have it become the engine specification after dumping the V8 engines beginning on the 2014 season.

I reckon Dana's new storyboard for the lightweight division would be Khabib versus Dustin and Tony Ferguson versus Justin Gaethje, and the winners of those 2 fights should be Khabib and Tony for the awaited superfight hehehe.

Also, one of the losers should fight Conor. I want Dustin versus Conor to rematch.

@Malsetid. Agreed! I predict that this might be a big disappointment by the time the whole series ends, I reckon. The runtime was also a little short and it made the episode appear it was made in a hurry.

No spoilers, but what can you say about the last scene? I rolled on my couch hehehe.
6755  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could still crash below $3000 - Vinny Lingham on: April 15, 2019, 04:09:52 AM
Well, this is Vinny Lingham's statement that I like

I also like it and I also hope he does not stop to declare more bearish predictions hehehe. The cryptospace is in need of another entertainer now that Tom Lee might begin to become the celebrated influencer of the impending bull market.
6756  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] The SEC will turn the cryptospace into the the elite's playground on: April 15, 2019, 03:34:10 AM
I really doubt that there are some huge government agenda that wants to stop all ICOs. They only want to identify the people behind these projects and hold them accountable for the losses, if and when it happens.

The ICO scene was riddled with scammers and innocent consumers and citizens were losing their life savings on these scams. The SEC has a mandate to protect the consumers from projects like this, so they had to introduce better regulations to protect the consumers.  Roll Eyes

There is always a government agenda, however. The people behind the government do not want the common people to be together and be democratized politically, financially and socially.

It is true that a democratized way of funding projects will be riddled with scams, however, regulating it will only filter the scammers that the government do not want and let the scammers that they want to continue scamming us. They want control over the cryptospace.

6758  Bitcoin / Press / [2019-04-13] The SEC will turn the cryptospace into the the elite's playground on: April 13, 2019, 02:23:54 AM
The elite have a club where they talk about investing and how to make more money for the enjoyment of their lives and their families. You are not in it.

I reckon we in the cryptospace should stop using the word scam so easily. Some ICO projects might not be scams. The people calling some of them scams are the people who hold the coin of another project. We should stop doing what the SEC is manipulating us to do and encourage the growth of the cryptospace to become something big that no government can stop anymore.

I predict that the SEC or a government organization might secretly support someone to organize a big ICO to scam and fail similar to Bitconnect and use that to begin a hunt to bring down all ICOs.



It has been reported by Invest In Blockchain that notable Economist John Berlau recently wrote a paper in which he was fairly critical of how the United States' Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has handled, or failed to handle, cryptocurrencies. He warns that if crypto gets labelled as securities, it could severely hurt the middle class' exposure to the asset, and by extension hurt crypto itself.

The paper, which is titled "Cryptocurrencyand the SEC’s LimitlessPower Grab," focuses both on the history of the SEC's approach to crypto, as well as the concerns many have over the regulatory body labelling cryptocurrencies as securities.

From the paper:

"Deeming cryptocurrency as a ‘security’ could put cryptocurrency out of the reach of middle-class investors because of the same red tape — both from SEC regulations and from financial regulation laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 — that has hindered small investors’ access to stock in early stage growth companies."

Berlau takes issue with the fact that the SEC has in the past been overly aggressive in labelling things as securities, which effectively chokes out growth for many small companies as well as middle class investors. In Berlau's own words:

"Even before cryptocurrency came on the scene, the increasingly heavy hand of SEC regulation has come under scrutiny for stifling opportunities for startup entrepreneurs to raise capital and for middle class investors to get better returns on their investments. The SEC, as well as the securities lawsit enforces, have come under bipartisan criticism from academics, entrepreneurs, investors, and members of Congress for creating red tape that makes it difficult both for entrepreneurs to raise capital in the public marketsand for investors to find wealth-building opportunities"

Bitcoin Price: Vinny Lingham Warns Of “Another Bubble” Danger

Vinny Lingham Makes New Bitcoin Price Prediction in Wake of Bitcoin ETF Decision

On March 11, the much awaited Winklevoss twins Bitcoin ETF decision will finally be announced by the SEC. South African serial Internet entrepreneur Vinny Lingham posted on Twitter that within 48-hours of the ETF announcement, on the downside, the Bitcoin price will be $850. However, he holds Bitcoin price will be $1,750 maximum (probably $1,500) on the upside.

Hard Fork Will Slow Bitcoin Price Down, $3,000 Target Less Likely: Vinny Lingham

Quote
With the ETF decision out of the way, the focus in the Bitcoin community has turned back to the scaling debate. While some proponents of an increase in block size are in favor of a hard fork, South African Bitcoin entrepreneur Vinny Lingham feels that this would negatively impact Bitcoin.

the price increased a lot because of the hard fork

Civic CEO: Bitcoin to Trade Range-Bound for ‘Three to Six Months’

Vinny Lingham, the CEO of identity management startup Civic, said in an interview with CNBC Nov. 26 that the Bitcoin (BTC) price will remain range-bound for several months, while it could break down of the $3,000 mark.

I want to see what he's going to say in the coming months.


However, he might also be similar to the cunning pumper influencers who buy when advice to sell and sell when they advice to buy hehehe. I reckon Brian Kelly is one and maybe also Tom Lee. We know John McAfee is certainly one.
