Noticed a bonus-binance.com scam YouTube stream that was recommended to me. I flagged it / reported it. If you want to help, flag this imbecile: https://www.youtube.com/user/MultiTheTempest
Crazy youtube even allows you to simply call your account after a crypto exchange name whilst they are quick to delete provocative right wing views.
Site promises to send you more BNB back than you send them. Sure.  
It's the same with Facebook. Very poor at preventing money scams, quick to delete anything Trump related.
The social media giants should get their act together. They are a source of scams, fraudsters and hurtful things and try to deflect to others. Pathetic.

Is the Doge dead?

Every dog has a day  but now its days are over.

"Altcoin season" may be a thing for the next few months, while "Dogecoin season" seems to be over...

While attempting NOT to get distracted into too many shitcoin details, how can anyone really know about where one shitcoin or another might be going without some kind of real definitive moves/happenings?  Sure, there does seem to be some pumpening of shitcoins momentum going on, but how can we have any kind of confidence in respect to continuations of such?

I have not really seen anything definitive - but hey, I am not really studying (following) the shitcoin space in any detail besides attempting to maintain some superficial levels of awareness regarding some of that - and surely on the margins, there sometimes could be some affects that shitcoins have on short-term moves of dee king daddy... not saying that the tail wags the dog.. but still seems risky to completely ignore some of the behaviors of snot-nosed 14-year olds - and perhaps a few adults, too.

SOMA, sorry.
Well, not quite 100% SOMA, but some reasonings i can't explain too well without completely losing focus. I tried, four or five times, but i was anything but satisfied with the results. So i'm left to hope that the SOMA explanation (which in fact really isn't one) is sufficient as an answer (i know it isn't).
It's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy of the shitcoin space/communities. Some market forces will help to make them true, while prolly being the first to dump on fomo retail buyers and bagholders later.

Any price predictions?

And for anyone this seems boring, mby some movie suggestions?

Currently i am into "Chuck" Season 1+2. Pretty nerdy, but funny.
As for movies, i'd recommend "Glass", if you haven't seen it.

Kraken Intelligence Report: CBDCs – Preparing for Central Bank Digital Currencies

Speaking of which:

FUTURE OF MONEY
21 April 2021

FUTURE OF MONEY
CBDCs, Crypto and 21st Century Cash
We live in a digital age. How we communicate, shop, entertain ourselves, take care of our health and order groceries, all look significantly different than how we would have done it just 20 years ago. Banking and finance is also changing. And so is money.
We already have digital money – trillions move every day, electronically. But are we on the cusp of Digital Money 2.0? Not the account-based electronic money that's been around for the past several decades, but a new type of token-based digital money. Tokenization, often via blockchain, is the basis of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and many proposed central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
While much attention has focused on Bitcoin in recent months, the ongoing experiments, pilots, and policy work around CBDCs could be equally if not more significant for the world of money. Central banks around the globe are warming up to CBDCs, triggered by Big Tech, and their ambitions to build alternative payment rails to existing card and bank-based payment systems with tokenized money, as in the case of the Facebook-backed Diem project.
China is currently well ahead of major peers in developing a CBDC (which they call a Digital Currency Electronic Payment, or DCEP) and is already at the point of extensive pilot testing. Given the country's sprint to becoming a cashless society, we expect fast adoption of DCEP over the next five years relative to other CBDCs. Meanwhile, work on a digital Euro is now underway (we expect imminent announcements from the ECB) and U.S. policy makers are also now warming up to the idea of a Digital Dollar.
While stablecoins such as Diem await regulatory approval, they could benefit from the huge network effects of their Big Tech sponsors. In fact, Diem could be an effective tokenized payment format inside the Facebook universe. It is possible other Big Techs could follow into tokenized money, but for now, few have declared this ambition publicly — and Facebook's user reach is extensive (3.3 billion monthly average users) and hard to replicate.
Increased interest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are also driving digital money. Market values have surged recently, with cryptocurrencies valued at an aggregate of approximately $2 trillion. While consumers have driven much of the adoption of crypto, the recent wave appears to be more broad-based versus 2017- 18, with interest from both institutional investors and corporates as well as retail investors. Despite the popularity of crypto, it serves more as a (volatile) digital asset than a transaction currency in most parts of the world today.
All transitions have intended and unintended implications. Tokenized money could disintermediate incumbent financial institutions, increase the volatility and cost of bank deposits, and substitute existing payment form factors such as checks and cards. New payment solutions could disrupt the already crowded payment space. But crypto trading and custody could be a new source of revenue for financial institutions and CBDCs could result in more efficient and targeted monetary and fiscal policy implementation.
The race towards Digital Money 2.0 is on. Some have framed it as a new Space Race or Digital Currency Cold War. In our view, it doesn't have to be a zero sum game — there's a lot of room for the overall digital pie to grow.

I sold some BTC in February at the 57K top. The problem is, I bought crypto back after the dump. So all in all I do not have any fiat in my hands again  

You sold Bitcoin and bought crypto?

You should sell all your crypto and buy Bitcoin.

Whoaza!!!!!  that does look pretty scary for both.  I would not feel too comfortable with the panicking guy grabbing my leg, even if I were to be tethered.

When my Step grandmother was drowning (She couldn't swim and was bouncing around the ledge when she slipped toward the center) I dove in and got under her and pushed her up and tried to get her to the side of the pool (it was a 28 foot round with 4ft on the edge dropping to 7ft in the center) and she was acting just like that guy literally holding me and trying to stand on me without letting me get away. She was a few hundred pounds and I was probably all of 60lbs (skinny 10yr old). Luckily my mother was looking out the window and ran out and dragged her off me while i was holding her above water and running out of breath or I wouldn't be typing this.

Its amazing how easily some people panic!

I basically got drowned like that by a mentally handicapped kid about twice my size when I was young..
Like out of body experience drowned almost died..

He held me under forever using me as a floaty and then finally put his feet on my shoulders and kicked me way down under water which I managed to swim up and away from him afterward..

Thought I was dead..

[Richy_T]

Now imagine he’s hodling Bitcoin too!!!

On his way to Fort Knox, no doubt.

Just cut my own hair. I think it went OK but am sure my wife will either have a fit or keel over laughing.

Scandal in Turkey

[Richy_T]

Destroy the economy and nobody has any reason or funds to travel. Simple.

We need to sit down and watch some Mad Max movies Richy. Do you have Leather chaps by chance?

That depends why you're asking.

Though in fact, whatever the reason, the answer is no. That's more a Harley guy kinda thing.

That's not a scandal, it's a simple confirmation of the 1st law of cryptocurrencies

NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS.

 I used to have a colleague at work who would use the term "assless chaps" whenever trying to insult someone's masculinity; strangely, he would always giggle afterwards as if it never got old.  Every time I heard him say it, I would remind him that all chaps are assless but he never stopped saying it (or giggling).  I might not have as sound a case as I did with the "assless" aspect but if your chaps aren't leather, you're probably doing it wrong.

I take it the Biden lovers here still love him after threatening to double capital gains tax, right, because it's gonna go to a "good cause"?

Probably why your corn is worth a bit less at the moment.

Imagine taking out capital gains over $1m anyways.. What is this, why not just convert to corn ASAP?

[Hueristic]

I pushed back my casino trip to sit on my ass and play Railroad Tycoon III and listen to those vids.

Never played that game, but I've been listening to some Civilization 1 music that someone uploaded on youtube.

Hah, forgot what it sounded like so checked it out and its still pretty cool.

got it playing in the back ground now while I check posts.

I don't understand this.  Rather than pay a (yet to be proposed) higher capital gains tax, Americans would pull their money out of the markets right now and put it into what?  Is the plan to make no capital gains in the future?!
