Custodial Wallets are a thing now, yes.  And somewhat controversial among the purists.  I think they are inevitable at least until Neutrino

Neutrino the journalist-murdering company recently acquired by Conbase?

What crypto bear market? Investment funds have poured $1.6 billion into the industry since 2018

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-crypto-bear-market-investment-funds-have-poured-16-billion-into-the-industry-since-2018-2019-02-27

According to Diar Research, a data analytics firm, venture capital and blockchain-related funds have invested $1.6 billion into the crypto-related industry since the beginning of 2018 — the inception of the current bear market.

“2018 may have been a bloodbath for cryptocurrencies, but not so for blockchain-led operations having secured over $1.6 billion for projects that have garnered attention by their very backers,” wrote Diar in a research note to clients.

“The industry as a whole had secured over $3.9 billion up till October 2018, moving the tally upwards of $5 billion accounting for capital raised.”

After a full reset of my system and I am back.

If we could stay sideways until at least March 31 that would be fine with me...  

and if we could instant moonlaunch today how would that feel for you?

Good point.. micpeep.

I would be o.k. with either one.  I would also be o.k. with down, but I am not going to publicly express wishes for either down nor sideways... because UP is preferable.   

Besides, my personally being ready for any direction, but especially ready for UP, another great thing about UP would be to lock out some of the bitcoin naysayers, bears, sideliners, nocoiners and others who are willing to take a decent UP stake in bitcoin..  Specifically lock them out from getting sub-$5k coins ever again would be WONDERFUL...  even though such a wish remains a bit of a fantasy, because currently odds for down or sideways is greater than odds for UP.   ... and in any case I am not wishing for either down or sideways because odds are in their favor. ... what I wish for is the underdog.. that is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^UP.^^^^^^^^^^

WoW, almost hearing myself talking there... complaining to not let the NO-coiners, XRP enthusiasts, its to expense, wanna get rich quick etc BUY some cheap BTC....
but its exactly how i think about it ....

If it goes UPPPP, I win because I already hodl Bitcoinzzz and my recent buys will make profits too.

If it goes down, I buy more and I win again becuz I can buy moar cheap bit-coinzz...

If it goes sideways, I WIN again and again. Becuz it is already down -%80.63 and we know it will be up in a year or two.

I am an investment genius.

yes now you say.... but still every long term HODL (person that already HODLs long time, i think is always in for serious upgoings....)
on the other hand maybe i'm more in for a smooth organic growth, but F*** i do like the insane PUMPs

CME Globex Markets shut down due to technical issues.

Bitcoin never shuts down.

^always true BTC does have any hours, or just doesn't shut down....

Anyone knows if there is already any service of "proxy" online LN wallet?

I mean, something that would work like this:

- I send, for example, 0.1BTC to their wallet (my deposit address) same as I do with an exchange.

- Now I have a 0.1BTC balance with them (not your keys, not your BTC... I know)

- Then, the service would let me send LN payments which they would route via their LN node and already established channels on my behalf and substract the amount (plus a fee, presumably) from my balance.

- A plus would also be the possibility of creating LN invoices and receiving payments in the same way above and an easy to use mobile phone APP.

Anyone?

Custodial Wallets are a thing now, yes.  And somewhat controversial among the purists.  I think they are inevitable at least until Neutrino

It's great news because last time I asked a few months ago it seemed that it didn't exist yet.

I understand why purists may have something to say, but IMHO custodial LN wallets do make even much more sense than regular custodial wallets. I have not much of a problem in letting a third party the custody of my small change and use them for convenience. It is the whole of my stash what I want to directly control and custody. <- Notice how this is the complete opposite of how the current banking system + cash works.

Of course LN neutrino would be a great offering for the ones who would prefer that intermediate solution.

This is looking very good.

Not only that... even if you can't buy more, if it goes down you WIN because weak hands sell and there's less bagholders waiting to dump at higher prices on the next bull run.

As long as it doesn't lead to some kind of 51% type attack with one mega payments monolith in there

I am a firm believer in free market competition. LN services can be offered with very little entry barriers (unlike ie mining). Also it is conceived to be decentralised from its beginning.

If it ended somehow being much less decentralised, then that would be the markets "speaking".

That being said, if LN had massive success I would predict something like half of the market shared by a few (probably tens) of bigger players and the rest by thousands of minions. I am speculating of course.

For being able to scale *MASSIVELY*, channel reuse/sharing would be needed. One user one node would not scale nowhere near as well, even if everyone will have the choice to run its own full fledged LN node for paying their own coffee. Also there is no real need to settle in the blockchain after every single couple of cents payment... even if you have, again, the choice to do it.

Russian President Putin Orders Government to Adopt Crypto Regulation by July 2019

https://cointelegraph.com/news/russian-president-putin-orders-government-to-adopt-crypto-regulation-by-july-2019

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued another deadline for the government to adopt regulations for the digital assets industry, according to instructions for the Federal Assembly. The document was published on the official website of the President of Russia, Kremlin.ru, on Feb. 27.

According to the document, Pres. Putin has ordered the government to enforce crypto-related regulation by July 1, 2019. The President has required the Council of the Federation of Russia and the lower house the Federal Assembly of Russia (Russian State Duma) to adopt the regulation during the spring session of 2019.

Specifically, the document requires the adoption of federal legislation that aims to develop the digital economy, including regulation of civil-law digital settlements. The legislation should also include a regulatory framework for digital financial assets, as well as attract greater financial resources based on digital technologies, the document says."

With all due respect, why are we supposed to repeat prior flat mo for mo?

So far, at a macro level, it matches almost exactly.  Don’t ask me why, I just work here.
