No doubt it's centralized coins, just like USDT and JPMCoin which are also stable coins  But it's not good way to solve Facebook's privacy problem, t hey should use subscribe/paid model where your data won't be shared to 3rd party/used for advertising OR option to delete user's account along with it's data on 3rd party.Bolded part. It would be much more appealing if they would focus or consider to look at that scenario yet most people do really cares about privacy and i would much really preferred with this option. About on the coin im even 101% sure that this would really be like those shit stable coins. Why included JPMCoin? lol Agreed. Also, the interest of altcoin punters should be in speculating in what platform will Facebook use to issue their stablecoin. It might be Ethereum or Stellar, I reckon, not one of the Chinese or Russian platforms. |

@cloudbet. Can you lower the minstake for all betting on the Game of Thrones to 100k or 200k satoshis? Some small punters like me like to gamble on politics, entertainment and tv shows hehehe.
Thank you!

When are wallets going to be developed for Grin?
It might be good for you to learn how to use the official command line wallet and learn how to store your grins the proper way. I reckon many people in the cryptospace felt sorry about not learning Monero's command line wallet when it was under $1.00 hehe. |

@amruleshare. I am not certain if this is the situation up until now. However, I reckon it might also be because Bittrex and Poloniex's wallets are disabled for withdrawals.

You guys should focus on other intriguing fight matches because this reamtch is a looong way from happneing. Mayweather already talking about doing another exhibition bout  Agreed. Also watch young and talented boxers like Josh Kelly, who very much looks like Tom Cruise when he was young. Yes, like Maverick from Top Gun hehehe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00xDF9nnD8E |

@buwaytress. It might also be hype clickbait speculations created by the bitcoin news media. Was there already an official announcement or a hehe, roadmap from Facebook? There is none, I reckon.

@rdbase. That is a crazy fan theory that might be possible. However, season 8 will be all about the big war versus the Night King. The dramas and conspiracies might be thrown behind in exchange for more action hehehe.

@bigslimvdub. I am not as optimistic as some of the people in /r/Aeon hehehe. However, I do not trust their bullishness. They might only be bagholders that are hyping their bags but ready to dump on the next group of buyers.
Also, if stoffu's proposal is rejected, I might start dumping too. There is no chance for Aeon if everything stays the same.

Observe which of the Binancecoin trading pairs are going up after its increase in price. I speculate the cryptocoin that increases in value that is denominated in Binancecoin is the real intended destination of the investors hehehe.

So, some type of gift card situation is what’s brewing at Starbucks.
I reckon it might be nothing but another Facebookcoin situation in Starbucks hehehe.
The big corporations are beginning to leverage their brand to issue cryptocoins. I predict that the lucky platform on which they will be issued in might hit the top prize as the highest coin in market capitalization in the cryptospace.
No, the way I understand this is that they will offer facilities in the US that are linked to Bakkt services for people to buy and sell bitcoins with the future vision of people actually using those coins to pay for products in their Coffee shops.  So they have a long-term vision for Bitcoin and possibly other Crypto currencies and not just some in-house gift card implementation.  Let's be positive about this, it might just trigger the next Bull run.  Global corporations only have longterm visions for their own expansion and superiority. They are beginning to use bitcoin's success to let loose their own project tokens to secure their own market share in the cryptospace. JPMcoin, Facebookcoin, Starbuckscoin are only the beginning hehehe. |

@bigslimvdub. To be honest with you, I should have dumped some coins during the 2017 highs. I was so certain that the project would attain a success that might have it begin climbing up to the cryptocoin top 50. I was wrong hehehe.

Nonsense. They knew fine well the background of those Neutrino members - they just didn't care. Coinbase don't care about customers, privacy, security, or even bitcoin. They only care about greed, and they will do anything do maximize their profits. That was made pretty clear this week when they admitted to selling client data to third parties without clients' knowledge or consent.
The only reason they have made this statement now is because they are seeing people starting to leave their platform. They hoped it would all just blow over, but now their profits are going to be affected they have to take action. Don't be fooled in to thinking they are doing this for moral reasons.
Also, what happens now? Will the Hacking Team become Coinbase contractors and that are hidden from public view? That might be more dangerous, I reckon. Coinbase is also doing a good job in turning the criticism away from its acquisition of project Neutrino. |

I reckon Facebook's democratized user dividend business model might become one of the cryptospace's biggest successes since the creation of the first democratized direct initial public offering, also known as the ICO hehehe. In any case, the interest should not be on Facebook's stablecoin. I speculate that the interest should be on which platform will it be issued? Ethereum, EOS, Tron, Stellar, NEM, Waves or something else? What platform will hit the jackpot hehehehe?  A few months back, reports surfaced that Facebook was creating a cryptocurrency for its WhatsApp platform. This project is being overseen by David Marcus, the former president of PayPal.
The crypto being developed is a stablecoin, which will likely be tied to the dollar or euro. A stablecoin is a smart choice as it negates the volatility often associated with the cryptocurrency marketplace. The Facebook cryptocurrency is reportedly going to be rolled out in India on WhatsApp as that the country boasts 200 million users of the app.
Speculation is now suggesting that the stablecoin will be used across the full spectrum of Facebook products: WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram. If so, this would be tremendous for crypto adoption as over 2.7 billion people use such platforms on a monthly basis. Even more intriguing is the idea of a “data dividend” that could be paid to users.
A recent article from Fortune discusses the benefits of Facebook paying users a “data dividend” via the platform’s stablecoin. This dividend would be derived from the monetary value generated by the social media platform as people use it and advertisers fork over cash for advertising or for the data generated.
Facebook generated revenue of $55.838 billion in 2018 alone. The average user of the platform does not get any cut of that financial pie despite the fact it’s their use of the platform that creates the revenue. The Fortune article suggests that a good way to ensure that people remain loyal to Facebook and continue to use it on a regular basis is to get a payout in virtual cash.Read in full https://bitcoinerx.com/altcoin/could-facebook-eventually-pay-users-a-data-dividend-using-cryptocurrency/Read the related article http://fortune.com/2019/03/06/facebook-cryptocurrency-whatsapp-messenger-instagram-data-dividend/ |

Anyway, the Eastern Conference are finally exciting, competitive and unpredictable to watch. I'll be betting with the Raps, Bucks, and Celts.
Toronto Raptors is known for choking in the playoffs or some people say, that's because of LeBron. Now with Kawhi Leonard on their lineup, Im expecting a different Raptors on the upcoming playoffs. Boston Celtics, we witnessed how great they are during their playoffs run even without Kyrie Irving on their lineup. Almost outplayed the Philadelphia 76ers and sruvived the sudden death against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now with Kyrie, let's see if that's really an advantage to them. Milwaukee Bucks, their improvement is greatly seen this season. And honestly, this team is underrated prior to season opening. They suffered a sudden death match loss against the Boston Celtics last playoffs and Im sure they will not allow to happened it again this time. Also, most of the players have a role in the Raptors. You already mentioned Kawhi. There is also Marc Gasol, Slakam then Serge, Lowry, Danny Green also playing their own roles. I am only a casual basketball fan, however, I reckon the Raptors have the chemistry that might win them the championship. |

@mich. Jon's fake humility is irritating. I reckon yes, Anthony Smith should have taken the win by disqualification from Jon Jones because it was Jon Jones. There is no other fighter that I would like to see it taken hehehe.

@figmentofmyass. I reckon most of the volume traded in Btce, now Wex, are not from ordinary cryptocoin traders. They might be from money launderers who control many fake accounts in the site to trade with each other then withdraw the coins by using clean accounts.

@RivAngE. Success cannot be attained overnight. It took bitcoin 10 years to be where it is today, however it has not reached where it was created to be yet. It might take grin longer to reach the same measure of success, I reckon, or it might not.

Hey guys, looks like this thread needs reminding. Not sure what the odds are at Nitro, but I'll share today's outrights from Fairlay - not very big orders available for the favourites (just 0.023 BTC currently) but there's a very interesting addition of "Resurrected Ned Stark" at 171/1. Tempted to put a fun bet on that, but I'm probably going to go for something above 10/1. Jon Snow and Daenarys? Come on, the series won't let them sit on the Iron Throne Someone already put a bet on Arya at 22/1, so I'm jealous cause that'd been my pick. 15.47 still doesn't look shabby. is throwing bitcoins in a black hole address hehehe. Also, there is a new trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlR4PJn8b8II also discovered that Cloudbet has better betting choices for the show hehehe. https://www.cloudbet.com/en/sports/international/game-of-thrones/c13251/outrightsWe can bet on who will die first between 2 characters and with having your coins given back if no one between them has died. This is very exciting hehehehehehe! |

they've parted ways with Neutrino though, so not sure how will they do this analytics. Not really. They've made some vacuous, meaningless statement (here: https://blog.coinbase.com/living-up-to-our-values-and-the-neutrino-acquisition-ba98174cdcf6) about "transitioning out" the members of Neutrino who were involved with Hacking Team. They provide no details whatsoever about how many members this involves, when they will be "transitioning", or where they will be "transitioning" to. It is a token gesture at most. Agreed. The real assets of Neutrino is not the software, it is the development team that created the software. I reckon Coinbase will continue to employ the Hacking Team in full capacity but hidden and dangerous. |
