the People's Bank of China's does not appear to understand what the cryptospace is Oh they understand very well, that's why they are implementing these measures. Dude this is not about economics or about protecting your citizens or about money laundering or about terrorist financing ... The Chinese government is headed by a group of people who want to keep in control of the entire population, bitcoin has a very ideology different from the ideology of the Chinese government. I reckon China will be the no.1 in economy, technology and in military by 2050. And on that day the forest of Africa will not exist, the sky will be black and without some bird because all birds will be dead, the oceans will be without octopus, squid, fish, seafood, scorpions and snakes will be in the extinction because of these Chinese and many Asians that fish and destroy nature aggressively. china is colonizing Africa indirectly, and this is because many African governments are run by shit people and corrupt people Yes they might understand, but it appears that they have underestimated it extensively, that is why I reckon that they might not have fully understood it yet hehehe. In any case, read their plan to sideline bitcoin. Whoever proposed it does not understand bitcoin. |

I predict that there might be no ETF approved until the 2nd half of 2019. It might be approved on October or November then scheduled for a December 2019 launch.
What makes you think any ETF will be approved this time around? I'm 99% convinced any application is toast for the foreseeable future. There's going to have to be a vast amount of change for the SEC to consider it. Nothing in essence has changed since the first Winklevoss denial and SEC staff have been getting ever louder about why they're not keen. There'll have to be a new generation of applications a long way down the line. I reckon the corrupt system, made of politicians and their monarchs in the banking system, will be looking for another investment scam similar to what they made that caused the housing bubble. I speculate that there will also be an Ethereum ETF which would appear that the regulators who approved it do not care if the project behind it is working or not. |

@TBboys. However, China has become the most promising country that will takeover America as the greatest super power nation of the world. Their middle class is growing while America's middle class is shrinking.
I reckon China will be the no.1 in economy, technology and in military by 2050.

@Red-Apple. What makes you think that all speculators are bagholding Ethereum? The smart traders who sold on the top are buying again now on the bottom.

This could possibly be great new for insiders.. a nice short opportunity was definitely there if you knew the news before they hit the websites, but im still not convinced about this being an orchestrated thing involving the dumping. It could very well be bureaucracy being too much of a pain in the ass which has forced them to delay the thing once again.
I was looking for a $8500 ish bounce for christmas to new years eve, but not it may as well be delayed for Q1 2019.
However it might be delayed once again hehehe. What did I tell everyone 1 month ago? I reckon there are some regulators who would do everything to drag this for as long as they can. Read the news https://www.coindesk.com/launch-of-bakkt-bitcoin-futures-market-may-get-postponed-again |

A futures product for Ethereum will no doubt add some hype to the platform and that along with upgrades could set the stage for some improvements in price from next year onwards regardless of all the doom and gloom predicted in the media at present for alternatives
Agreed on the hype that the futures market will bring. It will also cause some hype on ICO tokens hehehe. However, I disgaree that the upgrades will set Ethereum for the improvements it needs. Their development team have been making false promises after false promises and their project has failed to be scalable for world adoption. I reckon Ethereum's next pump will be one of the cryptospace's biggest pump. It will also be an exit scam for ETH's biggest investors. |

That is the reason why people should make a distance in gambling. You see, people tends to choose the path to least resistance, a path that is more easier and more efficient for people. Gambling is a way to earn easy money, yes it is easy to earn but the probability of you winning is low. That is the reason a lot of people are losing than winning. Instead of pushing their limits to other things they are putting it on gambling, I don't know what is the difference of gambling and focusing on your job? I think gambling is just way more easier to do than their jobs.
However, you are promoting a dice gambling website in your signature hehehe. I reckon gambling is ok as long as you know your limits. It is entertainment. But there are some talented gamblers who know what they are doing. If you however do not have the talent or the brains for it, do not try to be like them. |

Maybe he was too inexperienced in the first fight and don't know how to phased himself that's why he run out of gas. He is also throwing uppercuts with the Jones fight but he was not hitting squarely because Jones keeps moving as opposed to Glover just standing with no head movements. That's why his uppercut is very evident on that fight. I remember he hits Glover 3 or 4 successively, Teixeira is a stationary target. Here are highlights from Gustafsson's fight with Glover Teixeira. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWVdOq_5zZsGustafsson's punches seem to land with more impact and force than they did earlier in his career when he fought Jon Jones. You can actually see Glover Teixeira's head snap back from the force of the punches, which mostly glanced off Jon Jones head as they lacked the same type of commitment or body weight behind them. I re-watched the 1st fight between Jones and Gustaf from the link tokeweed posted above. The kicks to the body Jones landed and the spinning elbows could be what caused Gustafsson to tire. Those are the impressions I get. Feel free to agree/disagree. @Kemrait. What is phased?
@Hydrogen. Jon Jones also has improved his boxing. I reckon the biggest difference between his fights from before and the fight next week will be his hands. They will be faster, stronger and they will hit their targets.
My prediction is a doctor's stoppage on the 5th round because Alexander Gustaffson's eyes are closed shut courtesy of Jon Jones' boxing hehehe. I think Kemarit meant to type "pace himself" instead of "phased himself". Don't know if Jones has improved his boxing. He does most of his damage with kicks and spinning elbows. He's never inflicted serious damage with punches in a fight that I know of. Hehehe ok. Also, Jon Jones has been training in boxing during his layoff from MMA. He said his hands have never been better in his entire career as a fighter in an interview. |

@gentlemand. If they also shutdown, I reckon another country will welcome all that cryptocoin liquidity in their borders.
I speculate that Singapore and Hong Kong will set up a more welcoming legal environment for the cryptospace in Asia, Switzerland and Malta in Europe.
As far as I can tell Korean money can't go anywhere else, or at least not in significant amounts. That's why their prices have always been so out of kilter compared to everywhere else. The only effect Korea has on anywhere else is them sucking up supply, but they were probably being sold non existent coins anyway. Is it not why the price of bitcoin is higher than the rest of the exchanges? I reckon many of the Korean whales must have a high potion of their trading networth in cryptocoins by now. |

I reckon there is more to that story than to inflate trading volume. Some cryptocoin exchanges main purpose might be to launder money. They might also be secretly started and founded by money launderers.

The Blockchain Transparency Institute has released its December Exchange Volumes Report, delving deeper than ever before into suspected wash trading. The conclusions paint a rather damning picture. Only 2 of CoinMarketCap’s top 25 BTC pairs aren’t massively inflating actual volume. https://bitcoinist.com/binance-bitfinex-not-fake-volume/This crypto world is very scary, if bitfinex has real volume and is in position 8 with volume of $480 529 075. so binance is in the first position, that is to say that bifinex should be in the second position and other exchanges would be below binance and bitfinex. how the hell does OkEx have volume of $ 1 105 999 095; Huobi has a volume of $ 935 526 010 (it has a small different volume with OKEx) but notice that from OKEx to Binance there is a great difference of volume The Chinese exchanges were always known to be the exchanges that do wash trading, maybe not to increase volume, but because the exchange itself might be laundering billions similar to what BTCe used to do. |

@Slow death. I reckon Tom Lee might be making a similar example of how newbies make and however lost their investment in bitcoin speculation. There are victims in every bubble hehehe.

Isn't it Gustafsson will be coming from a long lay out as well? He last fought Teixeira May 2017 if I'm not mistaken so both of them will ring rust. But I would have to agree with the majority here, I'm not seeing a upset here. We all know that Jones is a freak and the better fighter between the two.
Also, the Swedish mauler Alexander Gustafsson cannot beat the real top 3 in the division. Jon Bones Jones, Anthony Rumble Johnson, and Daniel Fatman Cormier. |

What about the increase that is happening now, is that possible if the predictions will become a reality? Although it seems impossible, but I hope the prediction will at least be close to the predicted value at the end of the year and I'm ready to sell.  Hehehe that might be the reason why bitcoin will not reach near its predicted value because you and many others like you have the same plan. However, the others are planning to dump before you on $5k. |

@coloseum. Monero would become a more secure cryptocoin with Asics than without them. I reckon Monero is valuable enough to have the other manufacturers interested in also making Asic miners for it besides Bitmain.

Whole past month price of AEON was sub 10000 satoshi. It was not this low for last 2 years. Most of those 2 years AEON desperately needed rebase and still it was valued more then right now.
Wider market conditions play a role. It isn't the only factor but it is a factor. Agreed. However market conditions have more of an effect during bear markets than bull markets for low volume coins like Aeon. Also, maybe in this situation, it's because our whale has been selling to fund his or her efforts in another project. |

In any case, it is astonishing that the oddsmakers got their predictions very close to the top 10 winners and to get it consistently every year is very impressive. I reckon they would make better financial analysts than Tom Lee hehehe.
