Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

ETC vs ETH potential parity: Will it happen before 2017?Bitfinex hack took a focus of community for few days, but there is still a plenty of talk about Ethereum Classic as a number of exchanges have moved to support it in recent weeks. Even Coinbase announced yesterday that it intends to let users access and withdraw classic ether balances. At the moment, ETC (Ethereum Classic) has about 23% of ETH (Ethereum) value expressed in BTC on Poloniex, as bulk of ETC liquidity located there. Still, many think that this % will go only higher in the following months, and there is plenty of opinion that ETC will reach parity with ETH even before the end of year. ETC to reach parity with ETH before 2017?So, will it? After having almost no support few weeks ago, ETC chain is recently gaining more developer support, and its hashrate is growing as well. ETC also had that huge 140,000BTC volume day, that is the most volume that Ethereum has ever seen (ETH’s largest volume day was 100,000 BTC). At the same time, ETH price started to grow a bit recently, while ETC has yet to establish solid support and resistance levels, but there is opinion that it could go up to 0.01 BTC and thus reach the parity with ETH that could go down to 0.01 BTC.

Men’s 100m and 200m in Rio: Can Justin Gatlin stop Usain Bolt from making history? Yesterday, Usain Bolt has once again encouraged people to come and watch him make history in Rio. Of course, in those events that will probably be peak of Olympics that are already brining us plenty of great events and enormous heroes. But, let’s not kid ourselves with other heroes, as we can’t wait to see Jamaican sprint star who has set his sights on a remarkable 'triple-triple' as he attempts to win three more gold medals to add to the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay he won at Beijing 2008 and London 2012. Is Bolt able to do this, or someone else can finally stop him this year? Men's 100m winner, Predict at Fairlay: https://www.fairlay.com/event/men-s-100m-winner/. And it looks like that only Justin Gatlin, the fastest man in the world this year, can stop Bolt from creating even more history. Some are confident that Gatlin will defeat him at least once in Rio as he has the better results this year. Also, Gatlin is completely healthy, while Bolt had some issues with a grade one tear in his left hamstring. And though people think that Bolt is more likely to lose 100m, there are more contenders to hurt him in 200m race. Anyway, history will surely be created, one way or another, so don’t miss to use the great odds Fairlay offers for these two races. Men's 200m winner, Predict at Fairlay: https://www.fairlay.com/event/men-s-200m-winner/. The men’s 100m final will be held on Sunday 14th August 2016.

One of Bitfinex big questions: Will its token reach 1 USD?
After the August 2 hack, Bitfinex resumed its trading and withdrawals yesterday, so now most of the talk regarding this exchange market is about their previously issued Bitfinex tokens (BFX). These tokens are debt-based blockchain convertible to USD equity at Bitfinex exchange. So, after every Bitfinex depositor took a 36% loss, he was credited with an equivalent number of BFX tokens representing the dollar value of the loss. Thus, $1 loss grants 1 BFX in return. Long term idea is that Bitfinex attempts to buy back those tokens as close to face value as possible. Will 1 BFX reach 1 USD?And after BFX opened at at $0.10 it rose to as much as $0.40. Currently it is traded around $0.30 and there is already a lot of talk is it the right time to sell as no one knows what will happen with BFX. Some are still scared that Bifinex could face bankruptcy, while others think it is smarter to wait. Those deciding to wait think that Bitfinex will buy a lot of tokens through time and then redeem those left on the market. But what about the price? Will it go up to $1 in the future, or could even Bitfinex redeem remaining tokens after recovery (or regaining back lost funds) at price of $1?

Everyone is crazy about Rio, but who will host 2024 Olympic Games?Whole world is watching Rio Olympics, as every hour we get another national but also world heroes. New records, new medals, and new sports for us to learn about. But it is also the right time to predict the 2024 Olympics host city that will be announced in September next year. We are now left with four options: Paris, Los Angeles, Rome, and Budapest. Despite the recent terrorist attacks, Paris is still determined to push ahead with its bid to host the 2024 Olympics. The Paris bid, which is believed to have an infrastructure budget of $4.5 billion and operational costs of $4.8 billion, already has over 70 percent of its venues in place. And French also proved they can put on a show and cope with heightened security for athletes and spectators with the European Football Championships that took place in June and July. And as the Paris is the first favorite, least chances are given to Budapest, though Budapest has announced a $2.7 billion budget to build their entire infrastructure, which would be on both sides of the Danube River and utilize existing iconic locations. It is also claiming support from many south and central European countries so could Budapest still prevail? 2024 Summer Olympics - Host CityOn the other side of the ocean, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti touted on Tuesday his city as the safest bet for organizers of the 2024 Olympic Games to make in choosing a location, with many of the sports venues needed for hosting the event already built in the city. He also noted that Los Angeles’ ties to the entertainment industry ought to help the IOC better reach out to a younger audience, a group that’s needed to carry on the Olympics tradition. Things like that are not great in Rome where its bid for the 2024 Olympics is in serious trouble with the city's new mayor maintaining her opposition to the candidacy. “My position isn't changing. Right now it's really not a priority for Romans,” Virginia Raggi told Euronews at the end of June in her first interview since being elected for the Major of this city. So, it looks like Rome could be first one out, but there is still more than a year until the host city is announced, so could things change in its favor? In fact, they already turned into Paris favor after Los Angeles was the hot favorite early on but some infrastructure problems reduced its chances. Anyway, we are still enjoying Rio Olympics, next one will be held in Tokyo and then where in 2024? Back in Europe or once again America, this time North?

Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton: How huge will their September debate be?
Things between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump couldn’t be more interesting, but they will surely get on top at their three presidential debates scheduled for September 26, October 9, and October 19 this year. On the other side, vice presidential debate is set for October 4. Many are sure that the presidential debates will almost surely decide the election. History tells us that as well. A month ago it was confirmed that the first debate is moved to New York, home state of both candidates, so things got even more interesting with this fact. Will the first 2016 presidential debate be the most watched debate ever? Predict at:https://www.fairlay.com/market/will-the-first-2016-presidential-debate-be-the-most-watched-debate-ever/.
And will this mean that it could be the most watched debate as well? The 1980 debates drew 80 million viewers out of a 226 million. Recent debates have drawn decidedly smaller audiences, ranging from 46 million for the first 2000 debate to a high of over 67 million for the first debate in 2012. But, with Trump and Clinton in New York, the first debate this year will be the most interesting in recent years. So, it will surely go over 67 million for the one in 2012, but could be the most watched first debate in history of both television and debate?

Aidan Turner, James Norton, Jack Huston, or someone else? Who will be the next James Bond?
In the last couple of years, since we found out that Daniel Craig will be replaced as James Bond, we got different favorites for this role every couple of months. From Tom Hardy to Idris Elba, and then Tom Hiddleston who won’t be picked by Barbara Broccoli to play James Bond, at least that was said by a spy thriller writer Frederick Forsyth. So, who then? Well, the first favorite at the moment is still Aidan Turner, the 33-year old Irish actor who won legions of admirers for his role in BBC drama Poldark, who few days ago said: “I’d rather not say anything. It seems like it’s the Judas kiss – once you comment on it, it disappears. It’s hugely coveted. Let’s see how it goes.” And Turner is probably right as his chances started to go down recently, and Poldark's star is now in close race with American Hustle's Jack Huston and Granchester's James Norton. But, no one is sure, thus you will get great odds if you guess right the next James Bond actor. And after that we can move our focus to the next Bond Girl. Next James Bond, Predict at Fairlay
