a very strange HAT that is still missing on someones avatar............. A VEGETA HAT "afbitcoin or how his name is??"

but many VEGETA posting and yet not a VEGETA HAT

 I thought I was up to date except for a hat for cryptotourist which I am still contemplating... I need an administrative assistant!
One Son Vegeta Majin hat coming up

edit: see?

How about a hat for 33bitcoin, who seems to want a hat?  You could make him/her a JJG imitation hat, but the one being worn currently is an exact digital replica... we have a lack of digital scarcity problem here.

idk just thought it looked cool, no1 made me one

@Xhomer:  Could you make this good sir "full member" (hat stealer/sharer) a nice, individually-tailored hat?  

The problem I see is that according to forum rules:

31. User avatars must not contain NSFL or NSFW content, infringe on copyright or attempt to impersonate a user.[10]

He is currently breaking forum rules. It would be a good proof of good faith if he just stopped using YOUR avatar until he has his own customized one by xhomerx.

Just saying.....

Why do so many still say, "bitcoin was hacked" when they really mean an exchange was robbed.

Do they think the "dollar was hacked" every time a bank is robbed?

The dollar was actually hacked once the fed decided to print as much as they wanted.

LocalBitcoins Statement on the Coming AML regulations and Compliance

The legal requirements are still being delineated but it is already clear that it will bring major changes into the functioning of virtual currency exchanges. The most important changes concerning LocalBitcoins’ users will be related to improving the registration of new accounts and the identity verification processes, introducing wallet withdrawal and trade volume-based verification tiers.

We will keep you informed through blog and social media updates and will provide more detailed information on the coming changes during March 2019.

Perhaps other similar peer to peer methods are going to develop?  Paxful and others?

Bitcoin Bull Tom Lee Predicted a $25,000 Milestone in December. His Firm Just Set a Target of $2,270 in Q1 2019

https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-bull-tom-lee-predicted-a-25000-milestone-in-december-his-firm-just-set-a-target-of-2270-in-q1-2019


Bullish.

Whoaza!!!!!  It is funny how so much bullshit misinformation gets out there and then gets amplified.  Part of the effectiveness of the misinformation is that it would have been a pretty dramatic shift in Tom Lee's position, if it had been true, and it also would have been consistent with some other Bear calls.

On another note, related to misinformation, the misinformation about "the longest bear market ever" is another misinformation matter that has been getting on my nerves, lately, because I have seen even a lot of smart people (including prominent podcasters) repeating such "the longest bear market ever"  misinformation. 

I will concede that if BTC prices were to go below $3,120 at any time in the future, then BTC prices would, in those circumstances, reach the "longest bar market ever" but until then, it has not happened, and BTC is still NOT in the longest bear market ever.  Accordingly, since December 15.. BTC prices have largely been in a kind of flat range (at least, so far, not able to get back above $4,200 or so).

That 80x trigger finger itchin......

that can be one of the problems of gambling BIG and winning, even if accidental.  Keep doing it, in order that you lose it, instead of being happy with your already realized gains.   hahahahaaha

Yes yes the price went up slightly, much excitement.

In other news, Roger Stone got swatted in the middle of the night. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/429104-surveillance-footage-of-stone-arrest-aired-by-sinclair

Swatted is not the proper term in this situation because it was an official arrest. 

Swatted is a practice of making shit up about someone to attempt to cause their location to be mistakenly visited by swat, in order to attempt to harass them.

See below "hat desperation"... a kind of contagion.

Quote the article for us. How many cops? How many cars? How many choppers? How many weapons pointed at him when he answered the door?

Nice.  Very goddamn nice.

HM are you still shorting??

Yes I have a small open short position but I don’t give a damn. It is only a third of last month’s trading profits.  It’s a 5x leverage and nothing would make me happier than being liquidated.

The relation between Mt.Gox and Kraken

In June 2011, Jesse Powell hops a last-minute flight to Tokyo to help what was then the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world, MtGox, recover from a hacking attack.......After seeing how poorly MtGox is run, and knowing that the exchange is the most critical part of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Jesse decides to build the first truly professional exchange
source :https://blog.kraken.com/post/891/kraken-is-born/

Jesse Powell knew Mt. Gox was not long for this world more than two years before the once-dominant bitcoin exchange went bankrupt in February.
source : https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-08-17/mt-gox-insider-s-kraken-exchange-to-open-in-japan-next-month

In a 6 Jan 2015 interview, Kraken bitcoin exchange CEO Jesse Powell discussed being appointed by the bankruptcy trustee to assist in processing claims by the 127,000 creditors of Mt. Gox. .....An article in the New York Times pointed out that the process of returning funds could significantly benefit Kraken because creditors will probably have to create a Kraken account to get their money back and some of them might continue using the exchange.

The New York Attorney General's Office began a fact finding investigation in April 2018 on the measures taken by cryptocurrency exchanges to protect their customers and fight market manipulation  and money laundering. The New York State attorney general warned that the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange might be breaking the law.

The investigation was not welcomed by Jesse Powell, the CEO of Kraken, who declared that the investigation was hostile and bad for business. Powell refused to comply with the inquiry.

instead of helping Mt.Gox, he set up a devil plan to dominate the market for his own interests. That's why Kraken is like a bank system that not benefit the cryptocurrency. anyway he said it "investigation was hostile and bad for business"

Just saying.....

I think that I understand what you are saying that there is a kind of misleading effect from avatar use... but I think that "impersonation" requires some level of "intent" to impersonate... direct evidence or inferred.  

I don't think that, so far, 33bitcoin's conduct rises to such level...... but since I am a pretty regular poster, there could be some deceptive impact (unintentional creating an impression)  that could happen to mislead from the use of my avatar.

idk just thought it looked cool, no1 made me one

Maybe if Xhomer makes 33bitcoin a hat avatar, then we can just get 33bticoin to wear it and resolve any further ambiguity without too much extra drama?
