Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

you cant have 10-12 green candle days without a dump every now & again

For sure...and that may make for a more healthy uptick this year. Last year it pushed up far too quickly.

Put some thought into my exit strategy on my holdings over the weekend, and set everything to sell in minimum 1000 token blocks depending on the token as I've millions of them under some projects, at various intervals up to the 100x.

Hit me up when you sell that block of 1000 bitcoin. I'll help you spend the cash

JJJJNR

By the time these grow, bitcoin will be the cash, with some of these bags in close proximity. . Fingers crossed.

That was around a 10% to 15% drop for alts on average

Wow .... wish I'd thought of that. Instead of trying to figure out how to place arbitrage bets on betting exchanges/online and make it profitable without a large bankroll or being banned.

Those DeFi services aren’t decentralised at all. They were able to turn the thing off. Same as with that Iota fiasco/hilarity.

grindle

Not fully decentralised, no. The majority of these projects are quite open about how decentralised they are or aren't, it depends as a user of the service what it is about the service you wish to be decentralised.

Most important thing here is that new best-practice emerges - whatever loophole they closed two days ago still left something very open. Makes for every interesting reading.

generally these have been followed by a dump then a rally, I wouldnt be surprised if we got a dump down to fill this CME gap @ $8500 and then rally after that

What has been hilarious over the last week has been the faux outrage from some quarters about certain projects not being fully decentralised. One in particular whose work has been (and is) all about a project to bring about full decentralisation.

Agreed.

I see Binance are about to offer a create your own exchange product.

Now I’ve always been at the forefront of crypto opinion and expertise in Ireland, so I’ll be offering you all a €50 sign-up bonus for flashi.ng - my new exchange.

I’ll also be offering 250x margin trading on Tron, Nano, and Verge, as well as an eclectic collection of complete and utter shïtcoins that no other exchange will even consider.

Might do some of that DeFi stuff as well if there’s an appetite for it.

Can you wire me the money? Having a small bit of trouble with the traditional banking system at the moment - pretty standard with crypto exchanges. Nothing to worry about. Our offices will initially be based in Tuvulu before we buy the entire IFSC.

I’ll put you down for 6 DeFi smart contracts, 100 billion NanoTrons, and into a draw for a Tesla.

How does that sound?

Litecoin revving up again

Are we about to see another front run before the bitcoin run?

Eth being an absolute unit again, 73% in a month, mental stuff.

I think we are in the if it hit it before it will break it soon territory like in 2017. All those lovely dips bouncing back and beating previous ATH a week later.

NEO has been tipping away in recent days too. At €14.42 now.

Possibly. I think this is the main Eth 2.0 run now. Quite a few investors are also likely to want to get to the minimum staking amount of Eth. That dip and fast recovery was pretty cool too; $280 to $240 to $280 - some confidence coming back in to the market perhaps

If we include the last few months...definitely. With 2.0 and massive dapp and defi growth. Good times .

Another one I have interest in is Kyber network. And LINK just seems unstoppable right now. Big names in their space.
Also Neo holder, but small amount these days.
Even REQ is showing signs of life. Of course I checked their blog and nothing since Dec ?!?
Iota wallet hack was disappointing but you got to zoom out and see how the coordicide stuff works out. I've a solid hold in it.

I did clear my borrowing on a defi platform but will dip my toes in again later.

I am wondering why he would give them the password to his wallet. Perhaps they don't have it and it's a wallet like mine where you don't need a password to open it but you'll find you need one to spend from it.

Lex Luthor

can they actually freeze the assets in a wallet?

Not without the password/phrase and moving the contents to their own wallet. That's one of the beauties of Bitcoin. Someone in Australia who had the pass phrase could hose the wallet before the Guards knew what hit them. An asset that is truly out of reach of everyone but the owner, (if the owner is careful) is a thing to value.

thats exactly what I was thinking and I'm fairly sure the passphrase & password is kept fairly secure but with somebody else having the facility to access it and empty it out fairly quickly

CAB can take the wallet all day long and think they have they crypto, but thats the beauty of them, they are not actually stored on the wallet, its just a mechanism for accessing them

AFAIK, nobody can seize it

In fairness, he had 6,000 BTC in August 2017 when CAB investigated. That would have been worth about $3.6 million. He had been rumbled in Feb. 2017 when his holding would have been worth just over $2 million.

Not a bad sum either but not as clearcut a decision to retire from the drug dealing business at that point.

Had me managed to keep his head down until Christmas 2017, that stash would have been worth $120,000,000 :eek:

Lex Luthor

they probably only got a fraction of what he had

there was a transaction from Bittrex exchange yesterday of approx 48,000 BTC to an unknown wallet. This was then moved to another wallet beofre being put back on Bittrex

you never know

Any clue what the staking returns on ETH are supposed to be like?

The estimate given by ETH developers was around 6% if memory serves well. But I don't know exactly how the figure was calculated. And also the minimum amount of ETH they mentioned to have a node was 32 (but I assume there will be many services pooling ETHs for smaller holders, albeit it will require to give them custody and pay them a fee).

4k BTC dumped yesterday
Binance & Coinbase went down for "maintenance" at time of dump

We now have a head & shoulders pattern on the 1 hourly on BTC, could be in for further drops

Dohnjoe

The usual "wait 24 hours" and see how it responds to green

If it goes back up again, will be interesting. That said I was more than happy with 150 euro Eth for this half, so far we are well above that

Das Reich

Sorry for asking on this thread but there is no asking thread on the forum. Some person called me from London saying about my account with btc markets and how to activated. I have no account with them, just a forex account with ic markets that probably did forward my details to them. Both are Australian. The man was insistent asking me to click on the link he sent by email to activate my account. I just said I wouldn't in case of scam. What are the chances that this is scam and if is where to report?
