I have been monitoring the action on the Tether Rich List and there
have been some big movements of USDT in the last days.

Tether Rich List as of now:
https://wallet.tether.to/richlist

Tether Rich List from 3 days ago:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180128114237/https://wallet.tether.to/richlist

Notable changes:
-1DUb2YYbQA1jjaNYzVXLZ7ZioEhLXtbUru (Bittrex) had outflows of more than 71M USDT
-1FoWyxwPXuj4C6abqwhjDWdz6D4PZgYRjA (Binance) had outflows of more than 92M USDT
-1Po1oWkD2LmodfkBYiAktwh76vkF93LKnh (the smaller address of Poloniex) had outflows of nearly
50M USDT and contains less than 2M USDT now

No known Tether address of an exchange has received inflows of similar amounts of USDT, which
makes it likely that they are going back to Tether or Bitfinex.

Maybe this is not even related to the recent Tether news/FUD, but due to an
outflow of money from altcoins. Could this be the beginning of the end of the altcoin bubble?
I´d argue that many people finally realize that investing in Ripple, Stellar or similar shitcoins
won´t double their money in a week.

Another possibility is that these are funds that were raised by ICOs that use USDT
to launder their money or as a way to exchange their proceeds to BTC. After all
Bitfinex is one of the exchanges were you could arguably easier get rid of ICO proceeds
compared to more legit exchanges like Gemini.

It might be a bit offtopic but have you already seen this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Tether/comments/7u3u0c/tether_tokens_on_the_ethereum_blockchain_have/

Blacklist & Destroy
The following is for Tether tokens on the Ethereum blockchain only.
The Omni/Bitcoin blockchain Tether tokens function differently, though similarly as well as they can freeze addresses.
Looking through their smart contract source on lines 264 through 299 are the blacklist and destroy functions.
I have excerpted these lines in this pastebin.

Summary
Tether is able to unilaterally blacklist any Ethereum address.
Doing so labels the user as evilUser and all their Tether tokens are designated as dirtyFunds.
Once a user is blacklisted the destroyBlackFunds function can be used on their Tether token balances.
This sets their Tether token balances to 0 and decreases the total supply for the affected Tether tokens.

Whats the problem?
Tether is not a real crypto currency, its centralized and it is required that the owners are fully trusted.
If they add blacklisting and fund destruction, you shouldnt be scared, because you already fully trust them.
If a currency is backed by something, you need to trust the people who are holding the backing.
If you don't trust Tether then don't use them.

This constant downward compression we've had since 1/17 really feels like an attempt to wring out every last bit of weak hands.

Mission accomplished?

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Sub $10,000 again.

**Sigh**

Hey look, it's that same shitty movie we watched yesterday.... just with less volume.

I would think , they that really cannot handle the pressure are out off most of there money is out for the rest more and more starting too know how the market works or trying to believe “ i know iT Will go up because iT allways do” offcourse Many of them bought in lately or even @ +12-13-14k.... and Just really don’t know what BTC is or the market or anything but Just got in by friends like i have with a few of my friends .... and they Just want to act strong “i know it Will go up again” but meanwhile sending textmessages like whats happening you know something... blabla i Just say keep hodling..... they say offcourse price Will go up for sure.... then i ask Why do you think that?? And again they say because iT allways does while they really don’t know anything about iT , but for these peoples that or still here and even losing money now i think they Will stay on BTC because they seen friends making money and want the same thing and are losing know and Just think WTF there’s No way back anymore ( offcourse those friends like these are smaller investors trying to get rich ).  But for what its word i think the really weak and scared should been out most of them not??

Let's go with the 1930's instead:

If chicks follow the money they will all come to us crypto-nerds, disregarding grandpas and their cheap metals.

For the 4000th time, bitcoin has built-in middlemen and does not remove counterparty risk.  It also has non-blinded transactions and designed to centralize transaction validators, making it a permissioned ledger and anyone that uses it a cellmate in a digital prison.  It's definitely not money, just some guy named Shlomo Nakamoto's scheme to trap people in the 1984 system described by Aaron Russo.  Shilling for craptocurrency is shilling for the Jewish banker occupied state and against freedom in the end, and you're definitely not going to become an Aryan superman doing that.

Wow bitcoin is under heavy attack from jew media here in Germany.

I tend not to pay much attention to news coming out of newly-formed shithole countries.

Good job there, Merkel.

Just allways <sic> love the morpheus memes the face is suitable for all of them

Random Anecdote: Six-degrees-of-separation sorta thing. Two degrees removed from Lawrence due to working with some casting directors. The stories I've heard of him being an asshole and and diva while on set are becoming things of legend.

The guy is an asshole.

BUT BUT played a legendary Role in a super legendary movie as morpheus and other movies the Stories after or talks that i read i kinda ignore same like much bullshit about celebs maybe asshole maybe not but the meme pic is legendary as well .... for me ....

Maybe i’m Kinda curious off Some in here are actually selling / panicselling while writing things about Going to the moon and stuff ?? Are there Some in here ? Bottom Sellers or not too Many?

Bob did, probably Marcus too.

This is bear land. Welcome!

[conspirosphere.tk]

So at what time these freaking futures expire today? I bet that the bear ends 1 minute later.

Should be close if not already. No one seems interested in selling much below $10k or buyers are snapping up anything below it. Frankly i thought when 10k was broken, we would fall to at least 7500. Its been broken 3 times now and still no major run to 7500.
Positive waves

[DeathAngel]

Would kill to even see $13,000 again now, even that feels a long time ago now.

Wait, are you telling me that I will never become an Aryan superman?



I looked up that Aaron Russo guy.

In an interview with Alex Jones shortly before his death, Russo made the claim that a "Nicholas Rockefeller", who may or may not exist,[3] had told him 11 months prior to 9/11 that there was going to be an "event", which would lead to the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, and the attempted coup d'etat in Venezuela, amongst other things

Seems legit.

But then I started reading about his movie about the American tax system and I have to admit that I´m definitely
sympathetic to some of his views:

The film examines the genesis and functions of the Federal Reserve System. The film asserts that the Federal Reserve System is a system of privately held, for profit corporations, not a government agency, and that the Fed was commissioned to print fiat money on behalf of the federal government, at a fee ultimately paid for by the personal income tax (through service on bond interest). The film also refers to the fact that the United States dollar is not backed by gold, and states that this means the dollar has no real backing other than future income tax payments. Consequently, the film states that Federal Reserve Notes represent debt instead of wealth.

The central thesis of the film may be that this monetary policy is the strongest form of governance that has ever existed, and is central to the unconstitutional, global power ambitions of the interests that supposedly control the Federal Reserve System.

Damn it, I´m starting to like Russo after I dismissed him initially as a
conspiracy theorist. Has anyone watched the movie (America: Freedom to Fascism)?

I met Russo when he was running for the LP nomination for president. Seemed kinda arrogant with his entourage like he was doing the LP a favor. Said his main reason for running was to keep Nolan from winning (I guess he had some conspiracy theory against him). That's the year the third place guy ended up winning the nomination.

I did short a small fraction back in december, but it was to rebuy lower. However, I nearly got squeezed out. It wasnt panic selling, I was just trying a little increase on my humble stash (I usually do that with altcoins in Bittrex, in small quantities, but they were falling as well). Im a bad trader, and I believe the price will go to 25k in march.

I read that Alyssa also shorted a fraction, and then theres this guy, who probably sold in panic, and got from bull to bear in three topics:
