^^^^ I guess that was from the explanation published by the Sun, after Ben Stokes expressed his outrage. I don't want to criticize him at this point, especially in such a sensitive subject. But you can't expect a media giant like The Sun to publish some personal information, without getting prior permission from the individuals who are involved. They are claiming that they had informed Stokes, and he raised no objection at that point. If Stokes think that this is a lie, then let him go ahead with legal action.
I would advice these guys to stop fooling people. The same thing he tried during the world cup finals. He was happy when he got 6 runs from the overthrow. When the fans reacted negatively to that, he claimed that he had asked the umpires to reverse their decision (a claim which was rubbished by the same umpires later).
Here is the explanation from The Sun (at the very bottom):
<link removed>
Alright, thanks. I googled a bit and found that article. I personally think that The Sun is not lying here when it says that they took permission from Stokes' family before publishing that article, as Ben Stokes has remained absolutely silent regarding that sentence of the article till now. I hope that he replies soon if it's a lie.

For the last time, I just further averaged down my ADA and KEY buys. From now on, no more averaging down as bitcoin might actually succeed in breaking through that huge BTC dominance resistance (and if it does, it'll be absolutely no good for the alts).
Next 20 days (till the Bakkt launch of BTC) are very critical for alts.
It seems like my last DCA (dollar cost average) was right at the bottom, as ADA and KEY have made a very good bounce back after that. ADA: bull breaks on almost all timeframes, so this can only be the beginning of the trend reversal. No plans of selling any ADA just yet! Plus: ...I do believe that BTC has reached its dominance top (at least temporarily): It's not very easy to fix a broken parabola.

I find it a bit weird BNB isn't considered to be somewhere in security territory. It was launched with an ICO and its value hangs on the success of one corporation. I suppose it's not ownership of Binance as such but it's one hell of a long way from something like BTC.
Binance is playing with fire with that one. They burn BNB based on profits made -- lowering the circulating supply -- so it seems like there is indeed an expectation of profits. These are the four metrics of the Howey Test. BNB seems to fit every one: - It is an investment of money
- There is an expectation of profits from the investment
- The investment of money is in a common enterprise
- Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party
Arguably, they issued unregistered securities to US persons. I also don't think that's the only area where they have legal exposure to the SEC. Out of nowhere, Binance US has announced that it'll support one more crypto-asset, and that's BNB! We are proud to announce one addition to our Phase 1 digital asset offerings. $BNB deposits will open along with registrations today! This could get real ugly, TBH.

^^^ If this story was published without the permission from Ben Stokes, then I would sympathize with him. But it looks like the Sun had sought prior permission from Stokes and at no point of time he objected to the story being published in the tabloid. I don't know who is saying the truth and who is lying. But in case the tabloid had his prior approval, then Ben has no reason to complain. He was contacted prior to publication and at no stage did he or his representatives ask us not to publish the story. From where did you get that quote?

Whats this crap about alts on the green and btc being tiny red? Anon prediction about BTC dominance at 40-46%? He never said when.. but but... TBH, I don't believe in Anon's predictions; however, I do believe that BTC has reached its dominance top (at least temporarily): It's not very easy to fix a broken parabola.

To complete the onboarding process, users will be required to provide a valid government ID — driver’s license or a passport — and their social security number. Yikes, social security number? That will be a deal breaker for some. I passed on joining Gemini because they required SSN, so of course I won't be going anywhere near Binance.US, who is far less trustworthy. I wonder if this is just for AML compliance, or if they actually plan on sending 1099s to the IRS. A new update: Prepare for Launch: Account Verification & Tiers...and it seems like SSN is required, even in the "basic" verification:

Please add new crypto exchange platform to the list, PrimeBit.com, details:
Name | PrimeBit Launched | 2019 Trade fee (taker/maker) | +0.075%/-0.025% Listing fee | N/A BTC withdraw fee | 0.0005BTC Leverage | up to 200x Mobile app | Yes Headquarters | SVG Fiat | No KYC | No KYC DEX | No 2FA | 2FA T/D | No
Could you add us to your comparison? Here you can find all informations about BitBay - https://bitbay.net/en/helpdesk and if you will need more details let us know here or send private message Thanks for the information! I'll further explore and then add both of the exchanges to the comparison. Information updated. Thanks, again! Plus, I'll have a look at that Withdrawal fee website right now. Sadly TuxExchange has closed, so you can remove it from your list.. "Hello Everyone, Tux Exchange is terminating operations on July 6th 2019, largely due to unfavorable regulatory conditions. All funds must be withdrawn before July 6th 2019. After that time, we will provide best effort services via support ticket until July 15th 2019 when all services will cease. - New signups and deposits are terminated effective immediately. - Trading and withdraws will terminate July 6th 2019. - Support services will cease July 15 2019. It has been a pleasure serving the community and this was not an easy decision. Thank you for your support and loyalty over the years. Sincerely, Tux Exchange" https://tuxexchange.com/closingIt seems very hard for new legit crypto projects to succeed without gimmicks and/or huge advertising budgets.. This exchange ran for a few years, never sought any sort of funding or investments, and as far as I know never lost anyones money, got hacked, or scammed anyone, so big props to them IMO for running an honest service! I hope they atleast broke even on all the money they invested into this business attempt. I know they were paying for their servers and everything right out of their own pockets.. I would participate in another project with them in the future in a heartbeat.. Sad to hear that. I've removed the exchange from OP. First of all, it is a wonderful and such an unique system, great to watch and easily understand. If you add best exchange of the year, best volume of the year, most added bitcoin in a exchange, it will also help the trader or investor.
There's no honest way of determining the "best exchange" or the exchange with "most REAL volume", so I don't think that it's a good idea.
