Fast food chain adopts Bitcoin, wants Coca-Cola to be next.

TravelbyBit founder and CEO Caleb Yeoh said fast food was a perfect use case for the Lightning Network.

“You can pay with Bitcoin, it’s instant and there are almost no fees,” he said. “It’s only for low value amounts, so if you look at kebab prices, that’s exactly what Lightning is for.”

Speaking of dip.

BTC crashed to $5,000 from $5,500 today, so I cashed in some free Stellar Lumens for some BTC Dip.

I never got mine, I should look into that. You have the contact info?

Confirms that a ton of money is at least "tied up".

"seized and safeguarded"

By who?

Crap...this does not bode well for BTC price...

TPTB Fudding as usual when price takes off.

They will run out of shit to pull soon enough.

The SOPR  is calculated from spent outputs. It's the realized value (in USD) divided by the value at creation (in USD) of the output. Or simply: price sold / price paid.

Finex showing $6.746MM in 30 day volume, assuming 0,2% fee that $13,5MM they make in fees each month. And that doesn't include money they make on lending or interest on their stash. Tether market cap is $2.847MM NY OAG claims they lost $850MM (of their own and clients money) so 30% of all Tether max, i'm sure they'll survive *unless more shit comes up

Hmm... I don't think their liquidity will be doing well - looking at the price increase, people are dumping Tether to buy BTC and presumably trying to get out.

Also - not all clients will be paying 0.2% - so income may be lower and expenses are not zero, either.  Filling a hole of many hundreds of millions cannot be done without years of all that income going into replace 'lost' capital.

As GentlemanD said, the irony is Tether WAS backed up until they lost this large chunk of funds.  However, getting any new banking partner now will be nigh-on impossible.

Finex are in deep shit and probably in a total spin.  Maybe a death spiral.  Since they are (basically) profitable, I would think their best bet might be to try to find someone to buy 'em who does have banking sorted out and can float capital in to save the day. But who they gonna call..?  

Only a couple of candidates exist - and they might think the brand is too toxic.  Even at a sale price of $1, which is the likely price for Finex with a hole in the hundreds of millions of USD and a legal case on their back.

A bank could do it, but even if it makes financial sense, I can't see them risking running a crypto exchange.  Coinbase? Anyone else...?  With fast action needed and no time to do proper due diligence?  Doubt it.

First, Finex need to keep their customers to survive for long enough to find a solution.  

The chances of doing this with the run for the door already well underway is slim and all the Tethers coming back for redemption won't help.  But it's their only hope.

The Irony is that it was TPTB blocking them from reputable institutions to hold their reserves is what forced them to deal with a scam bank that ripped them off.

Almost like it was a plan.

Shit can't catch up today, gotta check out and I'm hitting the hottub rather than read this thread!

How do you like the news on BitcoinSV?

CoinGeek Sponsors Ayr United Football Club

As per the Reuters report on Thursday, Bitcoin SV will sponsor Ayr United for the rest of the current season, as well as the whole of the next season. Founder of CoinGeek, and well known Bitcoin SV advocate Calvin Ayre said this was part of a move to educate people about the ‘original Bitcoin’:

“There is an education underway explaining to both the media and everyday folk that BSV is, in fact, the original Bitcoin. People have heard of Bitcoin but don’t yet understand that BSV is the only blockchain following Bitcoin’s original design.”
