I kind of hate how Facebook has coopted the conversation about crypto, when Libra isn't really even crypto. Baby and bathwater, etc.

The old SwC was a good poker site that accepted bitcoin. I'm not so sure about the new one, but should be handled by a good team since they took over the brand.
If you're just looking to play for free, there are a bunch of apps that do have a good reputation like pokerstars and fresh deck poker.

Saw on Twitter that this could be the result of Zuckerberg’s testimony?
What testimony?
Congress..........

One of the least depressing aspects of all this is that most of the politicos clearly have a strong grasp of the difference between Mark's creepy baby and real crypto. In the previous bunch of hearings Libra got the living shit kicked out of it and Bitcoin came out of it looking like the smug kid who keeps its head down.

US Congress is putting Facebook and Zuckerberg in a blender. They have rage in their eyes...
Libra is going nowhere.

The anti-crypto types are out for blood at the hearing on Libra. In that Bitcoin/Altcoins are the 'bastard stepchildren' under the Libra project...this is getting ugly indeed. I had to walk away....so little facts...so much posturing. Also, beating up Zuckenberg for not inforcing 'truth' like Anti-Vaccine posts by individuals. All practicality is gone from the hearings, just a frigging free for all of misinformation/lies/and pushback at Facebook. Shit. if I was Facebook, I'd go, don't like Libra, gonna go fully decentralized with Bitcoin. Man, they would really howl then. What a clusterf*ck of a hearing. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/23/20928558/zuckerbergs-hearings-watch-live-stream-how-to-libra-congressional-testimony-facebookBrad

Libra could be the daily currency, and BTC remains the store of value. At least we have McHenry in the House as a crypto-booster. I expect in the next 2 or 3 congressional elections we'll get some new blood that isn't so against the concept. I'm guessing Maxine Waters still uses a rotary dial phone and writes paper checks.

Nothing to see here, we’ll be back above $8,000 by the end of the week. Just whales playing with noobs & weak hands. They’ll all be buying back at a higher price, pathetic.
What kind of person gets shook out by these moves? Grow a set of balls & see it for what is is, clear manipulation.

Facebook said that Bitcoin did not 'scale' enough for them to use such. It is a moot point IMHO if the Government can stop Facebook (Libra) from using and controlling their own cryptocurrency, I'm pretty sure they could make it impossible for Facebook to use Bitcoin. They would simply make it too difficult in other regulatory aspects of Facebook to allow that. So the whole exercise is probably just a dead-end anyway. Likely all this Libra effort has done has opened them up to more regulations on content. Brad

Bakkt Bitcoin Futures Volume Bounces to New All Time High.
Following a sluggish start spanning nearly one month, Bakkt Bitcoin futures volume seems to have started the day on the right foot on Wed, Oct 23. Nearly one-third of the day has passed and a whopping 370 BTC futures contracts have already been traded on the platform.

Good point. There was an old cartoon about how would you like you cryptocurrency scare, terrorism or paedophilia flavored? I guess we can add facebook (or 'big tech'* in general) to the options now. *To be clear, there's a lot about big tech that's a problem but using it for scaremongering is a nasty tactic.
