Yes, bitcoin has enough fuel to make 1 bitcoin worth $50K right now(yes you’re right, they can do it right now). But they (bitcoin maximalists, few exchanges) are intentionally not doing this because they know BCH, ETH are very much dependent on BTC’s value. On the contrary, bitcoin maximalists are now very afraid of BCH, ETH. They might eat BTC (only time will tell). And yes bitcoin core maximalists are not manipulating the market for the the sake of investors invested in bitcoin; they are doing this for their own interest (envious like most other banks).

**Why Bitcoin?**

Just another SJW trying to be relevant, after suddenly his handicap and advantage was removed, and real 'anti-bias' was suddenly introduced to the equation. Many leftist platforms (reddit included) work by censoring viewpoints. When they can't do this, they whine and cry because the smart people have moved in and they are utterly demolishing their fabricated reality.
When Zuckerburg wanted to implement this anti-bias, he found huge criticism from US democraps, the Clintons, and others who were very outspoken about possibly losing their fake propaganda website. The democraps have been putting biased and fake advertisements on fakebook for years, while all other scapegoated groups have had any attempt at advertising turned down or removed by such SJW mods and fattened ones.
Oh no, if Zuckerberg decides to make anti-bias and more checks on moderation, then you can actually respond to the spew of ABSOLUTE RUBBISH and UNSCIENTIFIC CRAP that is actually pedalled by the fake democrap groups in the US.
The inbred 1% democraps claim to hate anti-democratic countries and yet emulate closely North Korea, China, Russia, and other countries television and fake news systems, while having track records of major failures and inefficiency. They run on fake agendas such as 'exposing corruption' of others such as Republicans, yet not once have they ever given a 'real' and non-completely made up instance of such 'widespread corruption' ever happening. Most of the time these 1% democrap who control the networks of reddit, CNN, ABC, NBC, and pedal their agenda there, are guilty of even any less relevant crimes they claimed other successful CEOs and disagreeing groups have committed, such as money laundering, tax evasion, and hoarding.
Democraps have shown to be utter SCUM of the earth: fakers, cheaters, and inbred who hate all other people, live in mansions, manipulating black people to riot because of fake racism. Go vote people. Make sure these scum do not gain any more power. Don't become their slave while they are a complete joke group. Let the real competition and efficiency & fair laws triumph, and we'll have a democracy with efficient leadership all the time.

Former Goldman Sachs VP and OKCoin CEO "Bitcoin Is a Paradigm Shift Beyond Wall Street"
The Bears wanna go up now.
Licensed Malaysian Crypto Exchange Integrates Market Surveillance System
As part of its license application process from the local regulator, Malaysian crypto exchange Tokenize integrated an external market surveillance system.
Malaysian digital asset trading platform Tokenize Xchange announced that it will be deploying cryptocurrency market surveillance tools developed by the New York-based Solidus Labs.
The firm says this will help the exchange achieve Wall Street-grade market surveillance standards.
The solutions provided by Solidus Labs will use machine learning to read thousands of factors including trading behaviors and market conditions to detect activities that must be reviewed. This will purportedly keep a check on illegal trading activities such as wash-trading, spoofing, pump-and-dump, etc.
The integration comes two months after Tokenize Xchange became one of the three Malaysian digital asset exchanges to [receive full approval](https://cointelegraph.com/news/malaysian-securities-regulator-approves-crypto-trading-platform) from its national regulator, the Securities Commission of Malaysia.
Due to the rise in illicit activities in the digital asset industry and regulators consistently pressuring exchanges to improve their security systems, Asaf Meir, CEO of Solidus Labs, said that external surveillance tools are going to be a critical system for exchanges looking to grow.
Regulators may make surveillance systems mandatory
--------------------------------------------------
Better regulations and surveillance tools to moderate crypto exchanges and trading activities could potentially be a way forward for the industry.
Many jurisdictions like Hong Kong and Malaysia have already clarified that exchanges need an external market surveillance provider to achieve a license, said Meir.
“Regulators worldwide are working on similar frameworks, and we anticipate that soon surveillance will be required to operate almost anywhere, definitely in a regulated manner.”
Meir also noted that “exchanges that take serious steps towards market integrity are the ones that get institutional clients.”
Challenges in implementation
----------------------------
Meir explained that there are always challenges with integrating market surveillance systems into exchanges, even more so when speaking of cryptocurrency exchanges.
“Crypto and digital assets introduce fundamentally different market structures, data structures, regulatory reality and new forms of crypto-specific market manipulation threats,” he said.
Consequently, integration becomes not only a very complex process but also an expensive one. This is why many exchanges don’t find the idea of integrating market surveillance system very appealing, Meir concluded.

Blockchain Gamers Earned $20M in Their First Year
Research by Flipside Crypto into revenue generated by blockchain games shows that, in some cases, gamers are earning more than the game companies.
New [resea](https://bit.ly/2XsnFOw)r[ch](https://bit.ly/2XsnFOw) compares how much gamers and game developers made in the year following the launches of some of the most popular blockchain-based games.
According to [data](https://bit.ly/2XsnFOw) from Flipside Crypto, the overwhelming majority of revenue was earned by just one, very famous, game.

Cat breeding is very lucrative
------------------------------
No one could have envisioned that cat breeding could become such a lucrative business. [CryptoKitties](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/cryptokitties) generated $27 million in revenue in the first year with $7 million going to the company and $20 million to the breeders.
In CryptoKitties, gamers breed virtual cats that have unique traits on the Ethereum blockchain. The offspring inherit some of the traits of their parents and cats with rare features are more valuable than others.
One of these virtual kitties was [sold](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/dragon-cryptokitties-most-expensive-virtual-cat/#:~:text=CryptoKitties%2C%20an%20Ethereum%20blockchain%2Dbased,of%20600%20ETH%20in%20cryptocurrency.) for 600 Ether ([ETH](https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price-index)) or $170,000. The game is notorious for [almost breaking](https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptokitties-becomes-largest-ethereum-based-decentralized-application) the [Ethereum](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/ethereum) network.
Revenue for other blockchain games paled in comparison. Gods Unchained made $4.2 million in its first year, and players have since earned $237,000 (though auctions were not held in the first year). My Crypto Heroes made $1.5 million in its first year and players earned $118,000 through selling in-game assets.

The research provides an interesting breakdown on how revenue is being distributed. On one extreme, there is Gods Unchained, [where almost all of the money](https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-in-games-must-add-value-gameplay-blockdown-panelists-discuss) went to the company. On the other is Crypto Kitties, where the gamers or the breeders raked in 75% of revenues.
Many consider blockchain gaming [as one of the most promising](https://cointelegraph.com/news/samson-mows-infinite-fleet-game-2020-launch-backed-by-major-players) use cases for the technology. Recently, even Blockstream [got on the bandwagon](https://cointelegraph.com/news/is-blockstreams-liquid-network-an-attempt-to-compete-for-tokens-with-ethereum) when Lightnite was launched on the Liquid Network, a game that uses [non-fungible tokens](https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptokitties-creators-launch-token-powered-nba-topshot-in-beta).

TON Explained: What Was TON And Is It Really Over?One of the most striking phenomena of the crypto industry is the struggle of the SEC with the GRAM cryptocurrency and the TON blockchain network. There were tons of theories and forecasts built, and a great future was predicted for the project. But something went wrong, and the US authorities declared war on Durov's system.
In this review, we will figure out what was TON, what happened to it, why it happened, what are the chances to revive the project after its official closure, and whether the new Free TON network has chances.
# What was TON
The TON blockchain network project was officially presented at the beginning of 2018 by Pavel Durov, the mastermind of the famous VK social media and the Telegram encrypted messenger.
TON was developed on Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchain basis but was targeted to surpass them in flexibility and transaction speed. This network had its own cryptocurrency, which was called Gram. But TON and Gram lasted only 2.5 years.
# Why did something go wrong with TON
The first alarm bell rang six months before the TON ICO — in July 2017. Then the SEC [published](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-131) the results of the investigation of the crypto project The DAO, which for the first time in SEC regulatory history called the cryptocurrency “securities”. It was a direct warning: all such ICOs in the USA would be prohibited.
On January 18, 2018, Durov announced that he intends to attract a billion US dollars with ICO. It was ICO that ultimately ruined the whole idea of the project. But let's take it in order.
At the preliminary stage of the ICO, it was phenomenally raised $ 850 million, while applications were submitted for $ 3.8 billion.
On September 10, 2019, Telegram developers started the testing of the TON. The archive with the source code was placed on a specially created site test.ton.org. In the future, this will help with the chance for the revival of the project in a slightly different form.
On October 11, 2019, the SEC filed a lawsuit in the US federal court against two Telegram companies. Official position: this ICO is an unregistered securities.
On October 25, 2019, the NY Court ruled that Pavel Durov and two other Telegram employees, should stand trial and testify. Then it became clear that the TON project is unlikely to succeed. Meanwhile, Durov launched Gram testing service.
March 24, 2020, the NY Court [agreed](https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.524448/gov.uscourts.nysd.524448.227.0.pdf) with SEC and recognized Gram tokens as unregistered securities.
May 12, 2020, Pavel Durov posted in his official Telegram channel the TON did not survive this war. In this letter, he emphasized the paradox of the US justice that decided the TON has no right to work not only in the USA but worldwide. Allegedly, because US people can get access to bypass the ban and get into TON. The main conclusion of the letter: almost the whole world depends on US decisions, which means that fighting with them is pointless.
At the same time, at the end of the letter, he officially distanced himself from any projects that operate or will operate under the TON or Telegram brand.
# What about the return of funds to investors and what they think about it
In his letter, Durov promised non-US-investors they would receive 110% of the funds invested in cryptocurrency even if Telegram repays the debt to them ahead of schedule. Some TON investors have already agreed to these conditions, but there are hardly a most of them.
Telegram [proposed](https://ru.ihodl.com/digest/2020-05-07/ton-zapustili-bez-uchastiya-pavla-durova-i-telegram/) to convert investments into a loan at an annual 52.77%. After that those who will make this conversion can expect above mentioned 110% of their initial investments in 2021.
At the same time, Telegram [offered](https://thebell.io/durov-ne-razreshil-amerikanskim-investoram-zhdat-zapuska-ton-eshhe-god) only one option to American investors — to withdraw 72% of the initial investment.
Regarding investments, there is a [prevailing](https://www.forbes.ru/tehnologii/400315-pavel-durov-poshel-na-ustupki-investoram-v-kriptovalyutu-telegram) mood of distrust amongst investors. Many of them don't believe that Telegram will issue any shares or tokens, or issue debt instruments, or return 110% of the investment. Investors are also worried that Telegram will have to pay the SEC lawsuit.
The head of Tokenbox, Vladimir Smerkis, [said](https://www.rbc.ru/crypto/news/5ebb999b9a7947d0b3163088) most participants in the TON ICO intend to sue the founder of the project.
Today, almost no one expects TON to officially revive, but many people look at alternative systems on the TON blockchain with interest. But at the same time, they do not particularly trust.
# What is Free TON and what to expect further from TON
On May 7, 2020, an alternative version of TON called Free TON was launched. The declaration on the launch of Free TON at the time of the creation of this review [was signed](https://freeton.org/) by more than 5.1 thousand companies and individuals. The Free TON Community is made up of TON developers and potential users. The participation of US citizens in the project is prohibited.
The most authoritative network members:
* Ton labs
* Certus.one
* P2P.org
* Kuna
* Everstake
* Chorus
* Bitscale capital
* Simplex
* Ceo.io
Free TON members will receive tokens named TON Crystal (abbreviated as TON) without any charge. 5 billion tokens are [generated](https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/07/05/2020/5eb3f1429a79470728554a3f) in the system:
* 85% goes for Free TON partners in the referral system;
* 10% goes for developers;
* 5% goes for potential network validators.
As [Dmitry Goroshevsky](https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/07/05/2020/5eb3f1429a79470728554a3f) (TON Labs CTO) and the founder of Kuna crypto exchange, [Mikhail Chobanyan](https://vc.ru/crypto/125570-soobshchestvo-free-ton-zapustilo-sobstvennuyu-blokcheyn-platformu-bez-uchastiya-telegram), say Free TON doesn't discuss TON trading, but technically such an opportunity is available.
In our previous review, we wrote that it is highly possible that Durov closes official TON, and some external (or not so external) organization like Free TON Community makes its TON with blackjack and... And here we are. And so it happened. No one, except Durov himself and some main persons of the Free TON Community, knows whether they have agreed on that. The community also actively denies any involvement in "old" TON.
A number of investors [consider](https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/07/05/2020/5eb3f1429a79470728554a3f) this project as a means to earn money, and not to support the blockchain development.
Another TON investor, EXANTE Executive Director Anatoly Knyazev, [said](https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/07/05/2020/5eb3f1429a79470728554a3f) that investors are not interested in TON technology without integration with 400 million Telegram users.
The community invited other messengers with their audience to cooperate. If this happens, it's possible to predict the certain success of the project.
Now any integration of Free TON with the Telegram messenger is impossible. But someday we'll probably see a possibility that there will be some ways to fully or partially integrate it without legal consequences. And then the project will be strengthened.
An important note: SEC [can officially consider](https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/07/05/2020/5eb3f1429a79470728554a3f) the start of Free TON an attempt by Pavel D. to circumvent a court decision prohibiting the first TON iteration. That could mean some new sanctions to the Telegram and Free TON both.
# Summary
TON was the open-source project, therefore, any number of networks can be started on its basis. It means Free TON may not be just one of many alternative TON clones. And in the shadow of them, perhaps, Pavel Durov will stand. You never know.

‘No Message Was Signed’: Craig Wright Refutes Tulip Trust Fabrication
An Analogy for Bitcoin: Bitcoinville
Once upon a time there was an evil totalitarian emperor. He was the emperor of Fiatville. In Fiatville, they steal your money whenever you do anything.
So one day, a brave Agorist known as Satoshi Nakamoto, decided to start a peaceful rebellion, and many followed him as he led them many miles away to a new land. This land was rich with milk and honey. They called this land, Bitcoinville.
Satoshi Nakamoto ruled righteously, and gave everyone freedom. Bitcoinville was a prosperous, beautiful city. But then on his deathbed, he gave the crown to his son, Gavin.
Gavin was a righteous heir, and decided that he wanted to get rid of monarchy. So Gavin appointed a commitee to rule instead of himself as king. This did not go as planned though, as his appointees were saboteurs and spies from Fiatville. King Gavin was assasinated.
Bitcoinville grew very very prosperous, and boomed with attractions and functions. But one day, there was so many people, and so many attractions, that people began to be crowded on the roads. It would take too long to go anywhere, because the roads were to few and too narrow. The people of Bitcoinville began to grow miserable, some even left the city.
Many begged the commitee of Bitcoinville to build and widen the roads, and expand the city. But the commitee refused, saying that expanding too far would open the city up to attack, and we must remain compact in order to be secure.
So one day, a brave warrior, known as Sir Ver, decided to take people from the city of Bitcoinville and leave it for a land soon to be known as BitcoinCashVille. Except he didn't call it BitcoinCashVille, he and his followers called it The Real Bitcoinville.
Ver's plan was to lure in merchants and travellers by telling them it was The Original Bitcoinville, and that he had solved the urban planning crisis of transportation by widening the roads.
Except, what was the point of wider roads if your land is desolate and you have no grandiose city for the roads to lead to?
BitcoinCashVille forever remained with a low cap population, and continually widened and polished its roads, but never had a real city to use them. They even upgraded their stone slab roads to asphalt roads, but still nobody wanted to use them.
Then one day the town's Joker, Sir Wright, was fired by King Ver. Sir Wright rebelled against Ver, and took an army of handicapped people to BitcoinSVVille, under the guise that Asphalt wasnt the original road system, and that the Original Bitcoinville had stone slabs!
There was now three Bitcoinvilles, the real thing which was crowded out forever, an emptier version of it with no city of people, and a bunch of intellectual caveman banging rocks together in a desert, forever.
The end.
why does BCH community use the r/btc instead of r/bch ?This seems very deceitful and misleading. If you are proud to be holding Bitcoing Cash BCH - why all the trickery with the BTC and [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) domain. Why not [BitcoinCash.com](https://BitcoinCash.com)? it's say something about the operation that's going on here. I don't care how cool your coin might be, until you break ties with bitcoin (btc), your coin will get no consideration from me.

[IDEA] Database of Employers paying with BCHI see the posts about Queensland and it is very exciting. It's also nice to see lots of databases of merchants listed as accepting BCH.
But what about the other way around? To truly have a circular economy, there has to be accessible ways to earn BCH without going through fiat. It would be nice to know which companies pay with BCH. (Even better if they store a portion of their funds as crypto to be more removed from fiat economy but I understand if that's still too impractical)
So far, it's only Bitcoin.com I've read that claims (according to u/MemoryDealers) to pay their employees with BCH. Are there others?

ECDSA In Bitcoin*Digital signatures are considered the foundation of online sovereignty. The advent of public-key cryptography in 1976 paved the way for the creation of a global communications tool – the Internet, and a completely new form of money – Bitcoin. Although the fundamental properties of public-key cryptography have not changed much since then, dozens of different open-source digital signature schemes are now available to cryptographers.*
## How ECDSA was incorporated into Bitcoin
When Satoshi Nakamoto, a mystical founder of the first crypto, started working on Bitcoin, one of the key points was to select the signature schemes for an open and public financial system. The requirements were clear. An algorithm should have been widely used, understandable, safe enough, easy, and, what is more important, open-sourced.
Of all the options available at that time, he chose the one that met these criteria: Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, or ECDSA.
At that time, native support for ECDSA [was provided](https://blog.cloudflare.com/ecdsa-the-digital-signature-algorithm-of-a-better-internet/) in OpenSSL, an open set of encryption tools developed by experienced cipher banks in order to increase the confidentiality of online communications. Compared to other popular schemes, ECDSA had such advantages as:
* Low demand for computing resources;
* Short key lengths.
These are extremely useful features for digital money. At the same time, it provides a proportional level of security: for example, a 256-bit ECDSA key has the same level of security as a 3072-bit RSA key (Rivest, Shamir и Adleman) with a significantly smaller key size.
## Basic principles of ECDSA
ECDSA is a process that uses [elliptic curves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve) and [finite fields](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field) to “sign” data in such a way that third parties can easily verify the authenticity of the signature, but the signer himself reserves the exclusive opportunity to create signatures. In the case of Bitcoin, the “data” that is signed is a transaction that transfers ownership of bitcoins.
ECDSA [has](https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/technical-documents/tutorials/5/5767.html) two separate procedures for signing and verifying. Each procedure is an algorithm consisting of several arithmetic operations. The signature algorithm uses the private key, and the verification algorithm uses only the public key.
To use ECDSA, such protocol as Bitcoin must fix a set of parameters for the elliptic curve and its finite field, so that all users of the protocol know and apply these parameters. Otherwise, everyone will solve their own equations, which will not converge with each other, and they will never agree on anything.
For all these parameters, Bitcoin uses very, very large (well, awesomely incredibly huge) numbers. It is important. In fact, all practical applications of ECDSA use huge numbers. After all, the security of this algorithm relies on the fact that these values are too large to pick up a key with a simple brute force. The 384-bit ECDSA key is considered safe enough for the NSA's most secretive government service (USA).
## Replacement of ECDSA
Thanks to the hard work done by [Peter Wuille](https://cointelegraph.com/top-people-in-crypto-and-blockchain/pieter-wuille) (a famous cryptography specialist) and his colleagues on an improved elliptical curve called secp256k1, Bitcoin's ECDSA has become even faster and more efficient. However, ECDSA still has some shortcomings, which can serve as a sufficient basis for its complete replacement. After several years of research and experimentation, a new signature scheme was established to increase the confidentiality and efficiency of Bitcoin transactions: [Schnorr's digital signature scheme](https://medium.com/digitalassetresearch/schnorr-signatures-the-inevitability-of-privacy-in-bitcoin-b2f45a1f7287).
Schnorr's signature takes the process of using “keys” to a new level. It takes only 64 bytes when it gets into the block, which reduces the space occupied by transactions by 4%. Since transactions with the Schnorr signature are the same size, this makes it possible to pre-calculate the total size of the part of the block that contains such signatures. A preliminary calculation of the block size is the key to its safe increase in the future.

what's the best tipping tool here?I just tried the u/tippr, does not seem working now...
SatoshiDice is not being FAIR\[update 4:26PM June 3rd Pacific Time\] holy smoke, it appears I got the refund back! I'm going to send donation and tip as I promised. Please no more comments. (People only get tip if they commented before this update.
\[update 5:23pm\] I believe I've sent tips to all replies using u/chaintip. (I might've missed some reply to reply.. that's intentional as it is harder to track...)
Also donated to Bitcoin ABC 10BCH.

​
​
Firstly, I'm sort of a big gambler sometime. And really liked SatoshiDice. And think they are trust worthy overall.
Recently:
I made a 34.48 BCH bet on 1.33x and lost. [https://satoshidice.com/fair/?id=946144](https://satoshidice.com/fair/?id=946144)
I made a 20 BCH bet on 1.5 x and win. [https://satoshidice.com/fair/?id=982652](https://satoshidice.com/fair/?id=982652)
As you can see, on both betting page, it shows the bet amount is 7.5 BCH! As they reduced the maximum bet amount lately.
For the winning bet, I got the winning of 3.75BCH + 12.5 BCH (over the max bet refund)
For the losing bet, there is no "over the max bet refund"!
Any suggestion on what I should do about this?
For the slim chance if I could get the "over max bet refund" back (34.48 - 7.5 = 26.98) ,
**1) I will donate 10 BCH to BCH dev fund.**
**2) And I will tip who replied and upvoted this post for at least 0.01 BCH to the first 300 replies.**
Here's a message signed with the address involved in these two bets.

The investment bank called investors to discuss the “US Economic Outlook & Implications of Current Policies for Inflation, Gold, And Bitcoin”.
The meeting took place yesterday, on May 27, and while there were no specific details concerning the exact content and agenda prior to the conference, most believed the news of the call to be a positive sign for Bitcoin, and that Goldman Sach’s would officially declare the cryptocurrency to be a safe hedge asset against monetary inflation.
However, according to a leaked PowerPoint slide from the May 27 call, it is clear that Goldman Sach’s does not have a positive view of Bitcoin and the slide even seemed overly discouraging.

CoinEx Launches DGTX with 175,000 DGTX Rewards​
After a week, CoinEx launched something new.
What is it this time?
Be patient\~
Let me explain the details…
In 2018, an overseas futures trading platform called Digitex Futures rose to fame as the world’s first such platform free of transaction fees, soon after it entered this field.
As transaction fee is the lifeline of exchanges, what does Digitex Futures economically rely on without it?
Upon the first sight of the “futures trading platform free of transaction fee”, many people must be very confused.
To tackle their doubt, first of all, we need to focus on DGTX, the platform coin of Digitex.
DGTX token is the platform currency of Digitex Futures Exchange, with a total issuance of 1 billion. It is required for anyone who wants to have transactions free of charge. All profits and losses in Digitex are settled in DGTX, and all account balances are denominated in it. In other words, if investors want to open a contract on the Digitex Futures, they must pay a deposit in DGTX. The issuance of DGTX token serves as a capital source for Digitex Futures. Like many other blockchain project developers, the team obtains the operating capital of the project by selling DGTX.
In recent years, the trading market of cryptocurrency derivatives has attracted increasing attention from investors inside and outside the industry. Exchanges have also noticed the blue ocean of futures trading. According to a report on the crypto derivatives market issued by the well-known rating agency TokenInsight, the total transaction volume of cryptocurrency derivatives in the first quarter of this year has exceeded 2 trillion US dollars, an increase of 314% from the average of four quarters last year. It is believed that the development of the cryptocurrency derivatives market is promising enough to push the cryptocurrency to a broader market. Against such background, Digitex, dedicated to futures trading, now is at an early stage of development, and will go further in futures trading by virtue of the advanced strategy of waiving transaction fees.
On May 29, 2020, DGTX will launch the CoinEx trading platform. To celebrate their cooperation and offer more benefits to community users, CoinEx has launched several events to share 175,000 DGTX for top-ups.
Here are details of the events:
**Event 1: Top up and share 75,000 DGTX**
Time: May 29, 2020, 17:00 (UTC + 8) — June 3, 2020, 24:00 (UTC + 8)
During the event, users with a net top-up of more than 3,000 DGTX can split the rewards. Sorted by the top-up time, the top 300 qualified users can each receive 250 DGTX as rewards at the same time.
**Event 2: Trade to split 100,000 DGTX**
Time: June 1, 2020, 17:00 (UTC + 8) — June 5, 2020, 24:00 (UTC + 8)
(1) During the event, CoinEx users with a net purchase (buying volume-selling volume) greater than 20,000 DGTX can join in the ranking and win 65,000 DGTX. Details of reward distribution are as follows:
1st place: 20,000 DGTX
2nd place: 15,000 DGTX
3rd place: 10,000 DGTX
4th — 10th places: 10,000 DGTX
11th — 20th places: 10,000 DGTX
(2) During the event, CoinEx users with a net purchase (buying volume-selling volume) less than 20,000 DGTX can share 35,000 DGTX in proportion.
\*CoinEx Chain reserves all the interpretation of the events.
In addition to the above top-up events, CoinEx will also launch a series of airdrops in red packets.

> Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as
trusted third parties to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for
most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model.
Completely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot
avoid mediating disputes. **The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions,**
and there is a **broader cost** in the loss of ability to make non-reversible payments for non-
reversible services. With the possibility of reversal, the need for trust spreads. Merchants must
be wary of their customers, hassling them for more information than they would otherwise need.
A certain percentage of fraud is accepted as unavoidable. These **costs** and payment uncertainties
can be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments
over a communications channel without a trusted party.
That is the problem Bitcoin was created to solve.
**Small. Casual. Transactions.**

Making Financial Literacy AccessibleHi all, the current times are incredibly tough financially for students, graduates and young working professionals. To help with this, I have built Finllect, a personal finance app that makes financial literacy accessible to the Gen Z with bite-sized financial content and gamified budgeting tools 💸 ([ww.finllect.ae](https://ww.finllect.ae))
The app provides bite-sized content on how to budget, save, invest, earn and improve financial wellness. Since we’re all treading carefully while making financial decisions, Finllect enables the Gen Z to think smart and make the right financial decisions by educating themselves on personal finance.
We’re also working on pre-qualifying users to unlock academic relief grants and scholarships. Would love to hear your feedback on this: [http://bit.ly/get-the-finllect-app](http://bit.ly/get-the-finllect-app)
> Wait, Lightning Network is still a thing?
It works since a very long time ago, keeps getting better and gaining more adoption. Some of the relatively big players still don't have LN support right now, but at least they have plans to support it eventually:
* Kraken: https://twitter.com/pierre_rochard/status/1265835635862093824
* BitPay: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitpay-ceo-platform-will-support-more-cryptocurrencies-and-possibly-lightning-network
> I was thinking Liquid is the new hottie on the block now and LN was already buried?
I think that you are confusing Bitcoin with Blockstream. Blockstream is just one of many businesses that are trying to make money on Bitcoin. They may have their own agenda, but nobody has any obligation to do what they want or say.
Are you trying to promote Liquid?

Bitfinex is Constantly Printing More Tether, None Of It Has Ever Been Burned
A report indicates that no Ethereum-based Tethers have ever been burned, though new ones are constantly being printed.
A report from [Flipside Crypto](https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-unseats-xrp-as-third-largest-crypto-dwarfing-its-volume-25-1)[indicates](https://bit.ly/3c1WwpO) that no [Ethereum](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/ethereum) ([ETH](https://coin360.com/coin/ethereum-eth))-based [Tether](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/tether) ([USDT](https://coin360.com/coin/tether-usdt)) tokens have ever been burned. The report has also come to a conclusion that the stablecoin is mostly used by arbitrageurs on centralized exchanges.
_The Flow of USDT Within A Crypto Ecosystem. Source: [Flipside Crypto](https://bit.ly/3c1WwpO)._
Binance, Bitfinex & Huobi
------
The report states that Tether has thus far failed to fulfill its aspiration of providing stability to the DeFi space as postulated by Paolo Ardoino, [Bitfinex](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/bitfinex) and Tether’s CTO. Instead, its primary use case, seems to be inter-exchange arbitrage:
“It’s pretty clear that most of Tether is used on centralized exchanges, namely Huobi, Binance and Bitfinex. The constant movement back and forth between users and these exchanges reflects the fact that Tether is mostly used for arbitrage. Users can easily make a profit by buying from one exchange and selling on another for a higher price.”
Tether users pay higher Gas fees
--------------------------------
Another interesting observation is that these arbitrageurs do not send their tokens directly from an exchange to an exchange, but first withdraw them to their wallets. The report speculates that this may be due to the desire to control the swiftness of the transactions. In other words, this way the users can opt to pay higher Gas fees in order to expedite the transfer. In the world of arbitrage, time is money.
Bening explanation
------------------
Despite Tether’s recent rise to becoming the [third biggest cryptocurrency by market cap](https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-unseats-xrp-as-third-largest-crypto-dwarfing-its-volume-25-1), it remains a controversial project, with numerous questions about [its reserve policies](https://cointelegraph.com/news/fractional-reserve-stablecoin-tether-only-74-backed-by-fiat-currency-say-lawyers). However, when it comes to the question of why none of its Ethereum-based tokens have ever been burned, there could be a simple explanation. Perhaps the company finds it more efficient to just move the tokens in and out of the treasury instead of burning and reissuing new tokens.
_Cointelegraph has reached out to Tether for comment, but has not received a response in time for publication._

Investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency is the best form of investment anyone could carry out now. Sometimes when we have that specific money that we want to invest in a particular thing, we always lose focus and then invest or spend the money wrongly.
One reason you need to invest in crypto and its technology is because; crypto is changing the economy shape of any nation that approaches the technology and that way being an early adopter gives you an edge over others that will buy into it late. While looking at the growth rate of cryptocurrency and the opportunity it presents, why not look into it and have a rethink about the particular investment you wish to make now.
Bitcoin has changed my life because I invest in it the right way and one thing that gives me joy is because I also learn the concept of trading from a pro to accumulate and hold more bitcoin. Why bother yourself watching several YouTube videos without getting the right information you are looking for. Let a pro tutor you on how to start your crypto journey the right way.
My first month using Nyberg Hansson strategies and signals, I profit up to 400%. My 2.5BTC gave me a return back of up to 9BTC. Looking into this month as well, what have you planned to achieve? Why not take that step now and contact Nyberg Hansson at fidelitygroup@outlook.com , and WhatsApp +1 304-837-2073, and surely he will help you change your portfolio status.

Well then, here is your answer.
You don't know why BCH is better than BTC, because you are not really using BTC or BCH.
You are using "promises" of BTC.
Think for a minute:
**If I promise to give you a Lambo tomorrow, is it the same good, is there no difference at all between my promise and a Lambo that is already standing in your garage right now?**
This is the difference between real cryptocurrency and exchange accounts (I-Owe-You-A-Lambo). When you have an exchange account only thing you really have is promises.
You are not really using cryptocurrency.
You need to start using actual cryptocurrency - as in by purchasing stuff with it, giving it directly to other people, donating to charity, becoming a patron on patreon / similar services.
Or just, like, do whatever the fuck you want with it. But don't just rotate numbers on your exchange account because what you are doing then is like rape on the idea of cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency was always about the reverse: "being your own bank" or "being your own exchange". I know. I was there in 2010, I have seen it all.

Africa Is Experiencing a Crypto Renaissance
The attempted come back of CoinEx, China's forked-Bitcoin exchange*Written by Shuyao Kong*
*Published by* [*decrypt.co*](https://decrypt.co)
**An interview with Haipo Yang, a crypto OG who’s trying to reposition his Bitcoin Cash-based CoinEx exchange. And more, in this week’s da bing.**
**Haipo Yang**, founder of [ViaBTC](https://www.viabtc.com/?lang=en_US), one of the largest mining pools in the world, and [CoinEx](https://www.coinex.com/?lang=en_US), a crypto exchange known for its focus on Bitcoin Cash-based trading, is a well-known but relatively quiet character in China’s crypto circle. Typically, Yang doesn’t talk that much about his journey launching the mining pool, nor about CoinEx, which launched in December 2017.
And he almost never speaks about his fervent support for [BCH](https://decrypt.co/resources/bitcoin-cash), a hard fork of Bitcoin, and his now even more enthusiastic belief in BSV.
Yet that’s changing of late. Yang has been more active in recent months, participating in interviews about CoinEx and [tweeting more frequently](https://hk.weibo.com/user/yhaiyang) on Weibo, China’s Twitter. He’s been making controversial statements predicting the death of BTC, while supporting BCH and BSV on social media.
Recently, Yang told me that as a developer rather than a business person, he’s never been comfortable speaking in public. However he’s making an effort now to help publicize his renovation of CoinEx. So, for this week’s *da bing*, I decided to chat with him and get a peek into the mind of a veteran crypto entrepreneur who’s trying to make a personal, as well as a platform, comeback.
# CoinEx’s golden opportunity
The first hard fork of Bitcoin occurred in August, 2017 and created a new cryptocurrency called Bitcoin Cash. The fork was prompted by partisans, including Yang, who wanted bigger block sizes on the blockchain — the basic idea was that bigger blocks would enable more transactions per second and make Bitcoin Cash something people would actually use to buy things, rather than Bitcoin’s more commonly perceived use as a store of value.
Yang added a tremendous amount of value to the mining scene in China. As a technical founder with has years of experience in big tech firms such as Tencent, Yang is proud of his #buidl skills. He developed most of the code in the early days of VicBTC, which became one of the biggest mining pools to this day.
Not satisfied with owning just a mining pool,Yang conceived of CoinEx, which was born in December of that year, specifically to carry on the mission of the newly forked Bitcoin Cash blockchain. As he got swept up in Bitcoin Cash enthusiasm, he even said that “[BCH *is* bitcoin](https://news.bitcoin.com/an-interview-with-viabtc-founder-yang-haipo/).”
CoinEx’s strategy was BCH-focused from day one; [BCH was its base currency](https://www.bitcoininsider.org/article/14242/coinex-first-exchange-implement-bitcoin-cash-base-currency), meaning you could use it to buy and sell other currencies, such as Ethereum and Litecoin.
Interestingly, Jihan Wu, the co-founder of Bitcoin Exchange — himself a [famous BCH supporter](https://bitsonline.com/jihan-wu-huge-confidence-bitcoin-cash/) — was a big investor in the exchange. That made me wonder why he, Yang, and many other OG crypto miners, were so passionate about BCH. Was it just about bigger block sizes?
“Bigger block size means more users and use cases,” Yang explained. The move to bigger block sizes was attractive to miners because they would facilitate more transactions. Miners make money on transaction fees, as well as mining blocks. Likewise, the network would arguably be more useful to people, who were looking for digital cash for every day use.
That especially resonated with many early hardcore Bitcoiners. Said Yang: “We really believe that Bitcoin should be a P2P cash vehicle rather than a store of value.”
This view probably sounds outdated to people who believe that Bitcoin’s value as cash is long gone, with solutions such as Lightning Network fulfilling that role. Instead, the new narrative for Bitcoin resides in its value, rather than utility. Yet Yang believed that the forked network would create far more opportunity
“We could invite influential companies to establish nodes and contribute to the network. This cannot be done with the original Bitcoin architecture,” he said.
# CoinEx pivots
But from its inception, CoinEx struggled with adoption and was dwarfed by the bigger exchanges. Part of that had to do with the fact that BCH and “Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision,” another Bitcoin hard fork, were both controversial. Critics pointed out that these networks are centralized in a few big mining pools, and [51% attacks](https://cryptonews.com/coins/bitcoin-sv/) are not out of the question.
So over time, though Yang’s exchange still maintains strong support for BCH and BSV, it began to add support for all the major currencies.
Finally, in January of this year, it announced a major upgrade, of… well, just about everything. It started to offer futures trading, leveraged trading, options trading, and [over 100 token projects](https://www.tuoluocaijing.cn/article/detail-9989578.html) available to traders. It even rolled out its own blockchain, “CoinEx Chain” to support a new DEX, “CoinEx DEX.”
The seemingly sudden publicity of CoinEx should not come as a surprise, then. As BCH/BSV was being marginalized, Yang shifted his focus. He’s now trying to ride the wave of building a bigger, more dynamic exchange.
“Crypto exchanges are where value is discovered,” Yang told me.
# CoinEx: TNG
Building an exchange isn’t done overnight, nor is *re*\-building one. CoinEx is still competing with the giants such as Binance.
However Yang thinks his exchange will thrive by zigging when his competitors zag. As usual, CoinEx is taking a slightly different route, he told me.
Like what? “We will be listing 小币种,” he said, using the expression for “small token projects.” I cannot help but wonder if these “small token projects” are simply shitcoins, the trading of which is certainly not new.
Indeed, Yang said that he’s banking on the success of his new, public blockchain. “We are building a CoinEx Chain, a layer one protocol for DEX alone. Using our public blockchain, anyone can issue any token, at any time,” he said. He described the blockchain as “a real decentralized, token-issuance and transaction platform.”
This is the core of Yang’s plan and vision. He believes that centralized exchanges will be a bottleneck for crypto adoption because it contradicts crypto’s nature as a completely free and open infrastructure. Essentially anyone should be able to launch a token and trade it with anyone. Only by building DEXes can we achieve full decentralization, he says.
# The Religious nature of Bitcoin, and forked Bitcoin
It’s his belief that Bitcoin should adhere to Satoshi’s original vision that led Yang to send yet another controversial tweet last week, which I will translate: “The early days of Bitcoin expansion are similar to religion. The religious fervor brings prosperity to the industry.”
By extension, Yang believes that the next generation of Bitcoin should provoke a similar “religious” fervor. That’s why he has slowly become more of a BSV advocate than a fan of Bitcoin Cash. Yang believes that “BSV has more religious connotations, despite its negative image.” (As most crypto people know, the [controversial Craig Wright](https://decrypt.co/25916/craig-wright-vs-crypto-the-current-state-of-his-5-libel-lawsuits), who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, led the hard fork which created BSV. Consequently it is often met with skepticism and derision.)
“The early days of Bitcoin expansion are similar to religion,” said Yang. “The religious fervor brings prosperity to the industry.”
Crypto is famous for its tribalism. Many people choose one camp over another not for practical reasons but because of simple faith. Talking to Yang and reading his tweet brings a historic texture to the Bitcoin narrative. But crypto cannot survive on religion alone. One has to build. Hash might have been worshipped in the old days but now the crypto religion is all about the size of the congregation.

"After all of this why haven't big blocks been demonstrated yet? All the changes they've made but where is the scaling progress? . . . Not even 100MB block tests. Not even 50MB! . . . So at this point what was the point and why does BCH even exist? " - bekind1989[Full quote](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/gp9qca/whats_the_maximum_block_size_the_bch_network_can/frnabev):
> "After all of this why haven't big blocks been demonstrated yet? All the changes they've made but where is the scaling progress? There are so many technical issues they said were easy to get around that made huge blocks viable so why have they not addressed any of them? Where are successful tests of 500MB blocks? 1GB or 500GB blocks? Not even 100MB block tests. Not even 50MB! They've done NOTHING to scale BCH. So at this point what was the point and why does BCH even exist?"
It's a little harsh and clearly a few optimizations have been done, but tests in local networks are not representative and stress tests have not been conclusive with regard to significant scaling improvements (barely x10 or x20 BTC capacity when x10000 would be needed for global payment, leaving aside social networks).
So what has Bitcoin Cash really solved already and why is [its website claiming](https://www.bitcoincash.org/) "The future shines brightly with unrestricted growth, global adoption, ..." when so much is still unknown?

Cancer, death of my sister, A BTC scam, and the subsequent plight of my family4 years ago my sister died of cancer. Then a person who claimed to help my father to invest in bitcoin robbed him of his money and we are in so much debt. Investment never went good for us. First the traditional investment companies took all the money and even btc brought no good luck for us. We have sunk very very deep into the ocean and there is only darkness.
We don't have money even to pay my college fees.
Just a week is left for the deadline.
I don't know what to do.
Please help me please.
Interesting article. Cunt of a website.
Things like BitPay are for merchants. People can spend whatever crypto they want with whatever merchant they want.
[Shopify adds 1800 more crypto pay options](https://cointelegraph.com/news/new-partnership-adds-crypto-payment-routes-on-shopify) Even if/when a leading coin becomes the main store of value for all, there will be a way for merchants to accept any currency.
The future will have more than one major crypto.
Bitcoin, according to a fucking retard who knows nothing about bitcoin:
Yeah, but what happens when the hashrate drops dramatically like what's happening on bitcoin right now?

We haven't seen anything yet. BTC's high fee situation will return with a vengeance, especially once next bull run begins to accelerate.
Remember this is the Bitcoin Era of Gregory Maxwell--Good or BadAs you look at bitcoin expansion and price, remember Gregory Maxwell made bitcoin how it is today. He is most responsible for it's current design. If it tanks or is wildly successful, it's on him.

Bitcoin Price Drops 5% After Rejecting at Key $9,900 Resistance
Bitcoin price dropped nearly 5% after rejecting at a key resistance level again, is it a buy the dip opportunity?
Within the last hour Bitcoin ([BTC](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index)) price abruptly dropped 4.9% from $9,800 to $9,324. The sharp correction came after the top ranked digital asset on [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) failed to push through the $9,900-$10,000 resistance zone.
At the time of writing traders appear to be viewing the pullback as a dip buying opportunity, possibly due to the boost in bullish sentiment brought about by yesterday’s golden cross between the 50 and 200-day moving averages.

Some traders speculated that the coins were possibly from Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

As shown on the daily chart, Bitcoin’s drop from the rising wedge pattern brought the price to a well tested support at $9,400. The price also remains above the 20-day moving average but it's possible that the rising wedge trendline will now function as a level of resistance.
The trendline is also aligned with a high volume node on the VPVR from $9,627 to $9,767. Investors thinking about buying the dip could wait for a 4-hour candle close to see if the price begins to form higher lows.

Many People Know About DeFi, But Few of Them Use It
DeFi projects seem to be well known in the cryptocurrency circles surveyed by CoinGecko, but usage is somewhat lackluster, especially for lending protocols.
Cryptocurrency price aggregator CoinGecko conducted a survey with almost 700 of its users to learn more about the trends in decentralized finance (DeFi).
The [report](https://www.coingecko.com/buzz/defi-survey), published on May 20, highlights that many cryptocurrency users heard about DeFi and some of its better known projects, but few of these are actually using it.
Out of its sample of 694 respondents, only 11% said they haven’t heard anything about DeFi.
Unsurprisingly, the most well-known and used DeFi app — as defined by CoinGecko — is MetaMask. About 72% of respondents heard of it, and 73% of them used it. The dominance can be attributed both to the platform-agnostic functionality of MetaMask, which is supported by all DeFi projects, as well as its longer lifespan.
Exchanges at the helm
---------------------
The highest awareness and usage statistics were found in the category of decentralized exchanges. The survey only analyzed automated platforms relying on liquidity pools, specifically Kyber, Uniswap and Bancor.
The highest awareness levels were for Kyber, which 57% of all respondents had heard of. Uniswap and Bancor effectively split the second spot, with 44% and 43%, respectively.
Uniswap appears to have the most efficient marketing funnel, as almost 48% of those aware of it have recently used it. Kyber trails second at 42%, while Bancor has a much lower ratio of 23%.
In comparison, lending platforms generally have worse usage statistics. Maker is second only to Kyber in terms of awareness at 46%, but only 26% of them used it recently.
Compound was known to only 25% of respondents, of whom 32% said they had used it. The bZx platform presents an interesting case, as 12% of respondents heard of it, but a very small percentage of them tried using it. This may be due to the infamy following [their back-to-back hacks](https://cointelegraph.com/news/are-the-bzx-flash-loan-attacks-signaling-the-end-of-defi) in February.
CoinGecko theorized that the lower usage was due to either not offering a compelling use case, or their products being too hard to understand.
It is worth noting that the aforementioned usage percentages would make for excellent conversion rates for any marketing campaign, which normally deal with [percentages](https://blog.alexa.com/average-conversion-rates/) below 10%. This would suggest that active DeFi users were more likely to answer the survey, but the differences between categories are still notable.
Distrust of banks is common
---------------------------
CoinGecko’s data reveals a net distinction in attitude to banking between users familiar with DeFi and those who just heard of it.
Of those who said to be familiar with it, 54% would stop relying on a bank completely, while the percentage is just 28% in those who are only casually aware.
The leading cause for those willing to ditch banks is the distrust in the banking system, at 31%, while 21% would do so because they consider DeFi to be a better alternative.

Keeping Enemies Close: JPMorgan Servicing Crypto Firms Opens a New Frontier
Despite JPM’s boss being tough on crypto, the bank takes on two regulated exchanges as clients in what some are calling a “game-changer.”
As the largest among the United States’ “Big Four” banks, JPMorgan Chase comes across as an unlikely ally to digital asset service providers seeking to break through the glass ceiling still separating traditional and crypto finance. When the news broke on May 12 that the bank has been [serving U.S.-based crypto exchanges](https://cointelegraph.com/news/jpmorgan-provides-banking-services-to-crypto-exchanges-coinbase-and-gemini) Coinbase and Gemini since April, some digital finance [](https://twitter.com/gaborgurbacs/status/1260193544649596929)experts [saw](https://twitter.com/gaborgurbacs/status/1260193544649596929) it as a sign that the relationship may finally be thawing.
Despite JPM’s CEO Jamie Dimon [consistently disparaging cryptocurrencies](https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-tables-have-turned-binance-exec-says-of-jpmorgans-support-for-crypto-firms)’ aptitude as a financial instrument, the institution has not been dismissive of blockchain technology, most notably developing proprietary DLT-based tools for international settlements. Now that the major U.S. bank seems to be extending its acceptance to crypto-related businesses as well, are the traditional players having a qualitative shift in perception of the digital finance space?
The importance of being compliant
---------------------------------
Coinbase and Gemini are well-suited to be in the vanguard of the crypto industry’s integration with the traditional financial system. The two companies have been particular about securing the most exacting regulatory credentials on both federal and state levels.
Both are registered with the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and their custodian services have [earned security qualifications](https://cointelegraph.com/news/winklevoss-gemini-cryptocurrency-exchange-scores-another-security-qualification) in accordance with rigorous certification standards. They have also obtained notoriously scarce licenses from New York State Department of Financial Services: Gemini holds a Trust License, while Coinbase operates under a specialized [BitLicense](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/bitlicense).
Experts surveyed by Cointelegraph noted that crypto firms willing to walk the extra mile to ensure full regulatory compliance will be the first to capitalize from mainstream financial institutions’ growing interest in digital assets. Michael Sonnenshein, the Managing Director at digital asset management firm Grayscale Investments, commented to Cointelegraph that JPMorgan’s announcement — alongside the news of [Paul Tudor Jones’ allocation to Bitcoin](https://cointelegraph.com/news/billionaire-paul-tudor-jones-buys-bitcoin-to-hedge-against-inflation) — shows promise for greater cooperation between financial firms and compliant digital currency firms, adding:
“There is increased awareness in the banking sector that digital currencies represent a growing market with strong upside potential. Those that are leading the way in terms of regulatory approvals will be able to reap serious benefits through these relationships.”
Pursuing mutual interests
-------------------------
While legacy banks could benefit from the digital assets’ potential and rapidly expanding user base, crypto firms require banking services because most of their day-to-day operations are still fiat-based. Some traditional financial organizations have already tapped into this market, so JPM’s move is hardly unprecedented. Amrit Kumar, president and chief scientific officer of the blockchain company Zilliqa, told Cointelegraph:
“State Street — the second oldest non-retail bank in the U.S. — has been offering custody services to stablecoin issuers such as Gemini. Silvergate is also another bank that has been serving crypto players by offering fiat banking services. Having said that, JPMorgan’s entrance in this area gestures toward the growing trend where traditional institutions are now offering banking, custody, and other services to blockchain companies.”
Marc Fleury, CEO and co-founder of the fintech firm Two Prime, weighed in with a similar point: “For all the hype around ‘replacing traditional finance,’ crypto companies still need to maintain bridges to the fiat system, for not everyone accepts crypto for payments.”
According to Adam Traidman, CEO of crypto finance firm BRD, there is a difference between routine banking services that every digital currency company has to request at some point and strategic partnerships that can reveal more fundamental shifts in market structures. He added:
“It’s more than just a banking customer for corporate treasury management. It’s strategic, and could be a channel for customer acquisition, a technology play for the creation of a digital currency or perhaps even more likely, the beginning of an aggressively developing M&A market for crypto companies, where traditional financial institutions are the buyers.”
What do big banks want?
-----------------------
What could these strategic partnerships entail in the case of JPMorgan Chase and regulated crypto exchanges? One of the answers could lie in the bank’s business model that emphasizes wealth management and catering to high-net-worth clients. Meltem Demirors, chief strategy officer of investment firm CoinShares, noted to Cointelegraph:
“It appears that the initial focus will be custody clients, who are by nature high net worth individuals and institutions. […] It is likely that closer collaboration with two regulated, highly respected crypto firms will be beneficial for JP Morgan to bring digital assets to their wealth management clients in a controlled, low-risk manner.”
Demirors mentioned that JPMorgan Wealth Management has been courting crypto wealth for some time, and many digital finance executives are likely personal clients of the bank already. Another reason why establishing ties with major crypto platforms could prove a solid business move is the rising demand for exposure to digital assets and banks’ corresponding drive to meet this demand. Demirors said that banks would rather offer low-risk exposure to crypto “versus seeing AUM [Assets Under Management] leave their platforms to flow into crypto.” She went on to add:
“I imagine most banks will look to partner first, before investing in building their own infrastructure, but as evidenced by Fidelity, some may also choose to bring these capabilities in-house as the opportunity grows.”
Another lens through which the emerging partnership could be viewed is investment logic, as Fleury noted to Cointelegraph:
“There is some justified speculation that JPMorgan, an investment bank, is angling for the future underwriting business for the rumored IPOs of the two stalwart exchanges. Even if that were the case, the establishment of these traditional banking relationships marks a new era of legitimacy for crypto at large.”
Aside from these direct benefits, there are some far-flung considerations that might have contributed to JPM executives’ decision to get involved with cryptocurrency players. For one, Traidman thinks that the bank could be looking to gain a foothold in the digital finance space ahead of the U.S. government’s anticipated move toward digitizing the dollar at some point in the not-so-distant future:
“This may be the first step in the private sector’s foray to attempt and win contracts from the U.S. government to implement contactless payments via the ‘Digital USD’ referred to in the first draft of the original stimulus bill. Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer. […] Their strategy may be to onboard crypto companies and then leverage the relationships to prove out a commercial version of such digital currency technologies prior to the U.S. government awarding a contract to the private sector.”
What comes next
---------------
Manuel Rensink, Strategy Director for the fintech firm Securrency, considers JPM’s move to bank Gemini and Coinbase a “game-changer,” adding that it “provides a roadmap for the deeper integration of digital assets into mainstream modern finance.” Rensink anticipates that many more traditional banks will follow the example and get involved with the regulated crypto sector due to digital assets’ natural edge from the advantages provided by their underlying tech:
“The programmability of digital assets on blockchain rails allows for better security, smarter compliance, and faster distribution to those in society in need of funds. While borrowing the unit of account convenience from the USD, a digital asset can be a more efficient medium of exchange that can immediately move between your phone and existing payment infrastructure.”
Additionally, Kumar is convinced that “blockchain-backed assets are no longer an asset class that traditional financial institutions can afford to avoid.” Tapping into the niche is an opportunity for traditional financial institutions to offer products and services appealing to both crypto-native and non-native users.

Keeping Enemies Close: JPMorgan Servicing Crypto Firms Opens a New Frontier
Despite JPM’s boss being tough on crypto, the bank takes on two regulated exchanges as clients in what some are calling a “game-changer.”
As the largest among the United States’ “Big Four” banks, JPMorgan Chase comes across as an unlikely ally to digital asset service providers seeking to break through the glass ceiling still separating traditional and crypto finance. When the news broke on May 12 that the bank has been [serving U.S.-based crypto exchanges](https://cointelegraph.com/news/jpmorgan-provides-banking-services-to-crypto-exchanges-coinbase-and-gemini) Coinbase and Gemini since April, some digital finance [](https://twitter.com/gaborgurbacs/status/1260193544649596929)experts [saw](https://twitter.com/gaborgurbacs/status/1260193544649596929) it as a sign that the relationship may finally be thawing.
Despite JPM’s CEO Jamie Dimon [consistently disparaging cryptocurrencies](https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-tables-have-turned-binance-exec-says-of-jpmorgans-support-for-crypto-firms)’ aptitude as a financial instrument, the institution has not been dismissive of blockchain technology, most notably developing proprietary DLT-based tools for international settlements. Now that the major U.S. bank seems to be extending its acceptance to crypto-related businesses as well, are the traditional players having a qualitative shift in perception of the digital finance space?
The importance of being compliant
---------------------------------
Coinbase and Gemini are well-suited to be in the vanguard of the crypto industry’s integration with the traditional financial system. The two companies have been particular about securing the most exacting regulatory credentials on both federal and state levels.
Both are registered with the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and their custodian services have [earned security qualifications](https://cointelegraph.com/news/winklevoss-gemini-cryptocurrency-exchange-scores-another-security-qualification) in accordance with rigorous certification standards.

Hackers Target Enterprise Blockchains
Private blockchains that have been specifically designed for enterprise use could be highly desirable targets for hackers’ attacks.
When [blockchain technology](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-for-beginners/how-blockchain-technology-works-guide-for-beginners) was first brought to the public’s attention, it was lauded on many fronts as “unhackable.” While there are many benefits to blockchain worth noting already, we probably still haven’t seen what its ultimate potential will be. One thing is certain though: It is not unhackable. That reality has been illustrated with increasing clarity to the tune of around $2 billion in cryptocurrency [stolen](http://www.circleid.com/posts/20200213_predicting_the_cost_of_cryptocurrency_hacks_in_2020/) by hackers since 2017.
Recent attacks have seen a shift in focus from public networks, such as the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, to private networks built for the use of large corporations. In theory, the latter should be a more difficult target for a hacker due to their nature as smaller ecosystems where everyone knows one another and intruders have a harder time hiding.
_**Related: [Crypto Exchange Hacks in Review](https://magazine.cointelegraph.com/crypto-exchange-hacks/?_ga=2.101222024.860442357.1589441229-324586319.1589441229)**_The reality has been a different matter. As more private enterprise blockchain networks come online, cybercriminals have focused intently on proving that the technology is, in fact, quite hackable. Here’s what they’re doing and how to keep them from getting into yours.
Blockchain basics
-----------------
Before we dive into the particulars of recent attacks on private blockchain networks, let’s make sure our terminology is straight. A blockchain simply means a decentralized cryptographic database that exists on linked computers called nodes. Each node keeps an up-to-date copy of the entire database. All nodes have to verify and approve a transaction before it is added to the database.
Thanks to a design based on cryptography, economics and game theory, node owners have a financial incentive through a [process called mining](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-for-beginners/what-is-mining) to play a straight game rather than try to subvert the system. A correctly designed blockchain database is easy to verify and add transactions to but hard and, more importantly, expensive in computing resources to defraud.
Companies engaged in a variety of activities such as cross-border transactions, digital record storage, and tracking goods and information have had their eye on blockchain for a while now. Blockchain application-building has been a high priority project for some truly massive operations, such as Fidelity Investments and the [New York Stock Exchange](https://www.unlock-bc.com/news/2019-07-01/blockchain-will-revolutionize-stock-exchanges) to name a couple.
What sometimes goes overlooked in the rush to take advantage of the allure of blockchain security and ease of use is that they are essentially trying to tame a Wild West technology and make it play nice in the most corporate of environments.
Easing into the real world
--------------------------
While it is true that one would be hard pressed to recall a single private blockchain network hack that resulted in a real loss, there are reasons for this, and these reasons are in the process of changing. First of all, enterprise-level blockchain apps have been under feverish development the past few years, and only now are a few starting to be rolled out for public use.
In some cases, blockchain has allowed developers to put a new twist on an old idea. The Ethereum-backed security app called Orchid is in the process of taking the traditional idea of a virtual private network, throwing it on top of a blockchain and presto, you’re looking at [the next generation of privacy technology](https://cointelegraph.com/news/p2p-vpn-provider-to-offer-their-services-to-journalists-for-free).
Expect to see an increasing pace of familiar products and services receiving a similar blockchain boost.
To the average hacker, there was previously nothing on these networks worth stealing, but that is changing. New apps are moving from the research and development stage into production, which means there is now a profit motive. Like detestable flies, hackers are attracted to this new prey. They see it as both a challenge to their skills and an opportunity for easy money.
As time has passed, a few strategies have arisen that allow the unhackable blockchain protocol to be penetrated.
Control 51% and you control the game
------------------------------------
The [51% Rule](https://cipher.com/blog/how-blockchain-can-be-hacked-the-51-rule-and-more/) is an inherent drawback to most blockchain networks. The feature that allows this kind of attack is based on the [proof-of-work](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/proof-of-work) concept in which a transaction must be approved by a majority of nodes, or 51%, in order to be approved and added to the database. If a single entity, in this case an entity with a propensity toward fraud, could somehow summon the computing resources that gave it control of 51% of the nodes, then it’s simply a matter of sending payments and then creating an alternate version of the database in which the payments did not happen.
This type of divergence is called a “[fork](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/fork)” in blockchain terminology. Continuing with our assumption that a single hacker controls a majority of the nodes, they could designate the fork as the legitimate database version and continue to spend the same cryptocurrency again and again. As mentioned, collecting together the computing power needed to take over a major currency such as Bitcoin ([BTC](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index)) or Ether ([ETC](https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price-index)) works out to a cost of thousands of dollars per hour, [according to](https://www.crypto51.app) the site Crypto51.
However, if a hacker decides to go after a smaller, more lightly traded coin, the cost to take over the network drops considerably.
Corporate insider attacks
-------------------------
When it comes to private networks of the kind currently being deployed by major corporations, the most severe danger posed is from those already within the system. In other words, employees, vendors or others that have been invited to the network immediately have access to all the confidential data stored there. This is one design flaw when compared with public networks that needs to change.
On the public side, such as with Bitcoin, developers deploy [zero-trust](https://cybersecurity.att.com/blogs/security-essentials/how-a-small-business-can-achieve-zero-trust-security) and other security tools to keep sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands and often off the chain entirely. As with traditional private networks, too many companies delving into their first blockchain project think that the main threat is from the outside. Their energy and focus go toward keeping outsiders on the outside, forgetting that insiders can be a threat too.
_**Philosophical action tip for blockchain design:** Trust no one, especially those on the inside. A disgruntled ex-employee with an ax to grind and knowledge of where the nodes are could sell out your network to the highest dark web bidder. One denial-of-service attack and it’s all over. Design for safety from the outside and inside._Final thoughts
--------------
Perhaps the biggest danger posed to private blockchain networks is the fact that they don’t have a dedicated community full of members from all over the world that spend their days and nights testing, tweaking and improving the network. By its very nature of being smaller and private, there is no equivalent process in place for vigorous testing. There’s no easy solution here. It’s hard for a single company to generate the same kind of enthusiasm and support as a massively popular cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.
One current approach is to take advantage of a company such as [Kaspersky](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/kaspersky-lab), which has developed a process for conducting blockchain security audits. Since Kaspersky is Russian-owned, some companies are understandably cautious about letting it take a look behind the curtain, but the idea is still sound. As time goes on and more corporate blockchains come online, expect the auditing and support industry to become more robust.

A new [report](https://research.arcane.no/the-state-of-crypto-africa) published by Arcane Research shows that African countries have some of the highest cryptocurrency ownership rates worldwide.
South Africa ranked third throughout the world with 13% of its internet users owning or using cryptocurrencies. Nigeria took the fifth spot with 11% of internet users owning cryptocurrencies. The worldwide average for the same stands at 7%.
Indeed, as Cointelegraph [recently reported](https://cointelegraph.com/news/african-bitcoin-trading-volume-breaks-2017s-record-ahead-of-halving), Bitcoin ([BTC](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index)) trading volume in Sub-Saharan Africa broke past records posted at the heights of 2017’s rally.
Clear interest in crypto
------------------------
Arcane Research noted that Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Ghana feature in the top-10 countries searching for the term “cryptocurrency” on Google.
Sub-Saharan Africa also has a huge remittance market that brings in about $48 billion annually. Expats today rely on slow and centralized remittance systems that charge transaction fees as high as 9%. Even mobile payment alternatives charge a fee of around 11%.
These factors along with high inflation rates in some African nations reflect the extreme need for cryptocurrency alternatives within the continent.
But there are obstacles
-----------------------
However, the report notes a significant lack of related infrastructures such as crypto mining operations, supporting merchants, smartphone penetration, and internet connectivity. These are obstructing wider reach and utility of cryptocurrencies among Africans.
Additionally, there’s little to no clarification from governments regarding cryptocurrency regulation in African countries. Almost 60% of African governments, the report states, are yet to clarify their stance on cryptocurrencies, which is causing a drag on the adoption of digital currencies.
The fact that African citizens are relying on crypto assets despite the lack of proper infrastructure and regulatory clarity is a testament to the wide room for cryptocurrency adoption across the continent.
Many major players in the cryptocurrency industry are already entering African markets. In a recent “ask me anything” session, the founder of world-leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao, said that [Africa is an untapped](https://cointelegraph.com/news/cz-calls-africa-an-untapped-market-with-unique-challenges-for-crypto) market for cryptos, and the exchange was working on offering its services on the continent.

John McAfee Admits Ghost 'Copy-Pasted' From PIVX, Threatens Lawsuits
The British-American entrepreneur admitted his privacy-oriented project Ghost borrowed from open-source anonymity coin PIVX, but apparently wants to sue it nonetheless.
Eccentric cryptocurrency advocate John McAfee admitted his anonymity-oriented project Ghost “copy-pasted” parts of its whitepaper from the documentation for open-source privacy coin PIVX in a series of [tweets](https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1262770434187169792) today. He nonetheless appears to intend to sue PIVX for defamation.
Ghost vs. PIVX — brief recap
----------------------------
[Earlier this week](https://cointelegraph.com/news/mcafees-privacy-coin-ghost-is-plagiarized-pivx-developers-claim), PIVX developers claimed that the Ghost whitepaper was plagiarized from an outdated 2018 PIVX whitepaper. According to them, “at least 20 of the 26 total pages” of the Ghost whitepaper “contain material directly plagiarized from the 2018 PIVX whitepaper”.
At the time, a representative for Ghost explained to Cointelegraph that their starting code base “is a forked version of PIVX”, although Ghost has allegedly “done a lot of improvements” to the code.
PIVX, in turn, [argued](https://twitter.com/_PIVX/status/1262776038947356673) that while their product can be used “as long as copyright credits are maintained in the code,” their whitepaper is not open-source and “was fully copyrighted in 2018."
Defamation allegations
----------------------
John McAfee now wants to take PIVX to court for defamation, according to his recent tweets. “PIVX is attempting to claim that their source code is Public Domain, but that the description of how it all works (The White Paper) is not,” he wrote, adding:
“Claiming a procuct [sic] is open source while witholding [sic] the documention [sic] is fraud. Pure and simple. I will soon demonstrate that in the courts.”
When asked by a Twitter commentator whether McAfee’s team copy-pasted PIVX’s whitepaper, McAfee [replied](https://twitter.com/TomShar12187252/status/1262772054518050821):
“Of course we f---ing did!!! It explains what the source code does, which they gave away FFS!! How do you re-f---ing-write the directions from your house to the Pizza shop. It's a f---ing explanation of something. Wake the f--- up!”
PIVX says suing them is like “suing Bitcoin”
--------------------------------------------
Cointelegraph has reached out to PIVX regarding the potential lawsuit, and was told by the project’s representative that “PIVX is not a legal entity, and no single person has any particular ownership of PIVX nor its development."
“It’s like John saying he’ll sue Bitcoin," the spokesperson added. Additionally, the representative suggested that McAfee’s legal status might not allow him to take matters to court. The British-American entrepreneur has been living “in exile” since 2019 due to reported tax-related charges from U.S. authorities.
Ghost is scheduled to launch sooner than PIVX, announces similar features
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIVX is an open-source protocol which originally forked from [DASH](https://cointelegraph.com/dash-price-index). It plans to implement zk-SNARKs based privacy protocol created by Zcash ([ZEC](https://cointelegraph.com/zec-price-index)), another privacy coin, closer to its launch in Q4 2020. Ghost, on the other hand, is scheduled to take off next month — and its whitepaper also mentions zk-SNARKs, potentially as a result of borrowing from PIVX.
"We have a suspicion that the GHOST team may not have been aware that PIVX have not yet implemented it [zk-SNARKs] when they published their white paper", a PIVX spokesperson suggested in a conversation with Cointelegraph.
"We give full props to any code that we use," the open-source project’s representative added. “Be it Bitcoin, DASH, Zcash etc. But GHOST fully hid all of that and blatantly copied our work and announced it as if they developed it all.”
Cointelegraph contacted Ghost for additional details and will update this story, should we receive a response.

Aeternity Launches Crypto Tipping Platform for Social Creators
Aeternity has launched a crypto-powered social monetization tool allowing content creators to instantly accept tips via web browser or mobile.
Blockchain firm Aeternity launched its social monetization tool "Superhero" on May 20, describing the platform as “the first decentralized peer-to-peer instant payment tool for digital goods or social content.”
The extension is supported by the crypto-friendly internet browsers [Brave](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/brave-browser) and [Opera](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/opera), in addition to Firefox and Chrome. The decentralized app — or DApp — is also available on mobile for iOS and Android.
Superhero solely supports tipping in the form of Aeternity’s native coin, AE. Superhero features a widget for integration onto blogs and websites.
Aeternity launches social monetization dapp
-------------------------------------------
Users can purchase vouchers loaded with 5, 10, or 15 euros worth of AE via Paypal or BitPay after passing Know Your Customer procedures. Users can also use atomic swaps to purchase vouchers with Bitcoin ([BTC](https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index)), Ether ([ETH](https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price-index)), Dai ([DAI](https://coin360.com/coin/dai)), Wrapped Bitcoin ([WBTC](https://coin360.com/coin/wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc)), or USD Coin ([USDC](https://coin360.com/coin/usd-coin-usdc)) with reduced KYC requirements.
The DApp comprises a free browser wallet extension and widget to facilitate tips between content consumers and creators.
Distributed ledger technology offers censorship resistance for P2P tipping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking to Cointelegraph, Aeternity founder Yanislav Mahalov, emphasized that Superhero pays content creators instantly, and does not take any commissions on tips.
“Content monetization has historically been a tug-of-war between third party advertisers, data thieves, host platforms, and lastly the creators themselves,” stated Mahalov. “Superhero is putting the control back in the hands of the people, making it easier than ever to support creators from every industry.”
Aeternity’s founder highlighted the platform’s censorship-resistance, stating that “there are no third parties controlling the approval or release of tips, and users can maintain their IP ownership.”
During May, Aeternity was [named](https://cointelegraph.com/news/indian-state-govt-partners-with-blockchain-firms-to-drive-tech-growth) alongside several distributed ledger technology-based startups to receive support from the Indian government-led blockchain accelerator program T-Block.
Tax reforms needed to simplify crypto tipping
---------------------------------------------
Speaking during a [Cointelegraph Talk](https://cointelegraph.com/news/recap-of-cointelegraph-talks-e-payments-during-covid-19-and-beyond) last month, Ian Kane, the co-founder and CEO of crypto debit card manufacturer [Ternio](https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockcard-cryptocurrency-debit-card-rewards-spike-to-638), emphasized the need for capital gains tax to be lifted from small crypto payments to foster innovation in blockchain-based microtransactions.
“For something like a currency, where it's meant for small micropayments/tipping, you shouldn’t be paying 40% short term capital gains, it makes no sense,” Keane said.
“When the internet came out, if every time you clicked on a new web page, you had to pay a tax or some kind of toll to gain information, it wouldn’t make any sense. It kind of hinders the progress being made [in crypto],” he added.

Well if you care about the screen size there is this new wallet [https://www.ellipal.com/pages/coldwallet?ref=5dc1a7a72f02a](https://www.ellipal.com/pages/coldwallet?ref=5dc1a7a72f02a)
But as I mentioned it's new, so do your own research before taking any steps.
Why not just change this sub name?Okay this is about to cop 1 million downvotes. But honestly, this is a BCH sub. Just change the name to something Bitcoin cash related. Its kinda sad that this community operates under the false guise of BTC... Create your own hype and community because right now it just looks really sad in here.
How would someone do a big international money transfer? Hi , i have a question.
How would one transfer lets say around 500K (Euro) (Hypothetically Speaking)
From Eastern Europe to lets say Costa Rica.
What would be the best way without loosing a lot of money.
The transfer needs to be as anonymous as possible.
Is crypto an option?
How would someone buy and sell so much crypto without raising any suspicion?
How long would that take.
Whats the best crypto to use for this example.
Please i need honest advice.

False, and doesn’t change the fact that Ethereum is literally designed to be centralized
> Ethereum coin distribution was actually better than Bitcoin.
This is literally made up. You can't possibly know this. The incredibly illiterate scammers that make up the ethereum community often forget it costs virtually nothing to distribute even 99% of supply among millions of your own pseudoanon accounts & fake any distribution (or gini coefficient) you want. There's more evidence that it's not distributed than it is like [this](https://cointelegraph.com/news/one-huge-ethereum-mixer-controlling-65-of-all-transactions-volume-analysts) or [this](https://prestonbyrne.com/2018/04/23/on-ethereum-security/) or [this](https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/study-whales-still-dominate-bitcoin-litecoin-and-ethereum/).
> Satoshi own nealry all coin at the beginning
Again, false - since final supply is known.
Final supply was known, he owned 0% at launch, genesis block was unspendable, client was public before 1st block was mined after that. After launch, he might've mined about 200 BTC before others confirmed to started mining, but could be already before that. People only estimate/guess he might have 700k BTC mined after launch (<5%), which is far cry from ~15,000,000 BTC (~70% eth premine) he'd have to keep before launch to match the idiocy of the ethereum community. Even 2 or 3 people distributing BTC supply for first 5%, which is possible since mining was ENTIRELY permissionless, is infinitely better than 1 party with full control of how much anyone else is allowed to get for 70% of supply.
> Eth disturbed the istamine
There's absolutely no evidence they distributed anything since accounts are pseudo anon and the design allows only 1 party to get any % of supply for free - literally incentivized to grab that free money.
There was no eth instamine - that means something else entirely - making it too easy to mine almost entire supply at start (Dash is example of that).
you can't measure anything useful after launch, only thing you can do is use a design that makes it permissionless to access supply for anyone anywhere so they can't be stopped by a single central party, which is what PoW created. Many projects including Ethereum tried to skip PoW to give themselves supply/control and were always called scams and laughed out of existence until scamming Vitalik's of crypto managed to trick people who didn't know better to be ok with that. Vitalik and Ethereum normalized fraud and centralization calling itself decentralized, his only contributions.
> There was still a risk the project fail and all coin be worth zero.
This is true for all coins. But, once again, preminers take absolutely no risks to give themselves free money. In fact, more they grab, the more reward they get to offset any risks.
FAGGOT.
All I know for sure is when I got in BTC people said these were the most important things;
Decentralized. (Peer to Peer)
Privacy. ( Pseudonymous )
Immuteable.
Anti Censorship.
and... F%$! THE BANKS!
Now I don't even know what BTC stands for...
Kind of you to say so.. however, I had to make many mistakes in crypto (and life) over the years before being self aware enough to realize it's better to be honest with yourself and the world.
Hello, I realize my choice of wording was not the best here I don't in fact think that Roger "created" BCH. I feel like I have been red pilled since a lot of the things I have been told about Roger Ver and the "bcash shill sock puppets" are simply not true.
BTC next-block fee crosses 200 satoshis/byte, hitting 1-years highSource: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com. As I write this, the status is: "The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently **230 satoshis/byte**"
As BTC fees continue to skyrocket, please remember that this is the *direct result of BTC's fixed block-size limit policy*.
This is basic Econ 101 stuff. When you introduce a supply ceiling below the market equilibrium, the price of the good being limited rises. BTC's tiny block-size limit is a supply ceiling, and the outrageous fees that BTC users must pay are the direct result it.

Should I trade with leverage & less Bitcoin or no leverage and large amounts of BitcoinI'm in the U.S. using Kraken exchange
1st off, thanks in advance for everyone’s reply(s). 2nd, I understand there’s no better way to lose money/BTC than by trading BTC using leverage. Thus far, I’ve had decent success with conservative trading off of basic “triangle-break-out patterns” with stops in place but would like to do more. (I can feel experienced traders cringing at that lol) I'm still learning.
I have $100,000 to trade with, would it be better to:
Option 1: trade by just buying/selling $100,000 worth of Bitcoin at a time. This makes me nervous a bit. If the BTC world went sideways I’m not sure a stop loss sell order would fill even with a stop loss in place? I don’t need huge gains. I'm not sure if a liquidation event for what I borrowed from the exchange would be more definite than the stop loss being filled. I'm not sure if I sound like an idiot by even saying that. Like I said, still wrapping my mind around leverage/liquidation. I’m fine with hitting singles and no leverage with trades using this much fiat. I’m doing this now with good results. But I want to try leverage.
Option 2: or, should I use $50,000 and use 2x leverage or whatever the math is to achieve the same result as option 1? I would use tightish stops but I’m still soaking in all the issues of being liquidated. Can I only trade with leverage with BTC to BTC or can I use fiat to BTC?
I imagine the tax implications are the same with leverage vs. none? Not sure if moving $100k from fiat to BTC for a trade on and off it triggers more i-r-s attention.
Again, I get I can easily get reckt if I’m not very careful. I’m trying to mitigate my risk as best I can. I soak up all the knowledge I can from good traders in the space and I’m looking for a good course to up my trading game. I have some crypto in a hodl cold storage. I don’t have delusions of trying to quit my day job (yet lol) but I’m fine with making a few conservative trades a month.
Thanks for your comments.

**I never believed in bitcoin retrieval because people around me told me it's not possible. Sometimes last month i fell for a binary option scam which promised a higher return and i lost close to $90,000 worth of bitcoins. I felt so sad and devastated at the same time i lost all hope. Few months ago i read a lot of reviewed on bitcoin site how Wealth Watchs had helped them recovered their stolen bitcoin, as regards a recovery expert and genius so i contacted them via their email** admin@wealthwatchs.com **explained my ordeal on how i was scammed and they promised to help me get all my bitcoin back to my greatest surprise, i got all my bitcoins recovered within 72 hours.**

I live entirely off Bitcoin trading. Probably use it way more than you people in here. Fees and slippage matter to me as does not knowing if a block is coming in 2 hours or 2 min depending on if the DAA is being gamed.
I also understand payment processors fuck you over on the exchange rate every time i spend Bitcoin or any other crypto. I'm not that ideological inclinced to continually waste a little money just to spend crypto.

Hi I have a buisness proposal for everyone rush down to my dm let's talk
Hi am a forex trader and I deal in account management dm let's have a talk I have a buisness proposal for you
Wow message me let's talk
Looks like Adam wasn't very happy...
Breaking News
That's true!
He's been going after me with a vengeance just because I think we should continue looking into a dev reward. I think it should go to a number of voted upon addresses and be set up as a trial for x number of blocks and then discussed further.
He's obsessed with me now. He's either a Blockstream shill or just someone that really doesn't like his viewpoint challenged. Read his recent posts.
Yes, I support a voted upon number of addresses getting a dev reward for a trial period of x blocks. I'm a monster!
Truth is you're either projecting or you really don't like your viewpoint challenged.
Just because you say something doesn't make it true, no matter how many times you follow me and say it. What's your proposal? Shit on the other guy and the devs? That's all I've seen so far. That and you literally linking to yourself saying the same thing in the past.
I'll tell you this, if you agree with Gregory Maxwell's stance, you might want to at least entertain the notion that [you're the baddie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VImnpErdDzA)
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f53xvs/lots_of_folks_cry_about_a_tax_but_want_that_sweet/fhwl25g/
The face of bitcoin here everyone! Trying to sick the US government on people is so in alignment with Satoshi's spirit.
If you ever wonder if Bitcoin was taken over by the FEDs, you need look no further than this post.
Gregory Maxwell and his shills like /u/weepingguitars are disgusting human beings.

I think it's likely lower fees alone could see this happen. But BTC could always pull it together and rewrite all predictions over night. I seriously believe that. When BTC's supremacy gets threatened baf enough it might scare people into course correcting BTC, and a lot of coins will turn to smoke. This might be scarry but not impossible.
Let's get this out the way: Although this is r/btc, you'd be unlikely to get many pro-bitcoin responses here. Despite outward appearances this sub is controlled by a pro-bitcoin cash owner and members of his staff (memorydealers = Roger Ver owner of [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com), and every single moderator is a member of his staff). You'll also see any reasonable positive bitcoin orientated opinions downvoted (as I expect to be), while "use bch" posts and conspiracy theories upvoted.
Now, there are a lot of exciting things happening in the bitcoin space, but bitcoin takes a conservative approach to everything. Bitcoin is anything but stagnant, take a look at something like [https://bitcoinops.org/](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2019/12/28/) to get a feel for the changes that are going on constantly (or read the [2019 annual review](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2019/12/28/)), remember that bitcoin has no marketing budget, and no central paid developer team, so you won't see the sorts of long term "roadmaps" and flashy info-graphics you get with other coins. The developers in bitcoin work on whatever they want to work on, which is why you often get progress made on things you may not consider particularly interesting (but they are often very interesting to the person doing the work!).
Everyone understands the "fee" issue, but bitcoin was what $3.5k a few months back? Let's say you made a transaction then, and it cost you a dollar, well, now the price is almost triple, what do you think the transaction cost it? Correct, it's almost triple as well! Because fees are paid in the underlying asset, not in whatever FIAT currency you choose to compare to. The price of satoshis in bitcoin is more expensive than any other, bitcoin and bitcoin cash fees are often compared in $'s, but really, the sats themselves in bitcoin are 40x as expensive when you compare to bitcoin cash, so even paying the minimum 1 sat/byte fee in both currencies, lets say it cost 1c in bch, it would of course cost 40c in bitcoin, even though you're spending the same amount of satoshis!
Nothing has changed? Are you mad?! When the FED and other countries starts printing TRILLIONS of dollars to bail out a bunch of companies and keep their economies going, some people are getting (or got) very rich off this, the other 99.9% got a little (or a lot in relative terms) poorer, and we haven't felt the effects of this yet, not really. This isn't just the usual ripples from a rock being thrown into a pond, they're throwing sticks of dynamite now, hopefully at the end we will still have a pond. Bitcoin is "fuck you" money, money the current political figurehead can't control, can't take away from you, can't wave his or her hand and suddenly devalue it.
Don't listen to the naysayers here, bitcoin isn't going anywhere, look at [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) (scope it to 2017 onwards), and compare it to [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/). The value of one is on par with the lowest it's ever been, the other is looking pretty healthy. The volume chart speaks for itself, ignore the FUD (especially on this sub that's unbelievably anti-bitcoin for having "btc" in the name) ignore the short term figures, the short term "down 5%" or "up 8%" price alerts that beg to be clicked, if you look at those charts and just think "it's crashing" or "better get out while I still can", well, by all means get out, do what's best for you, you're always welcome back if you choose to.
If you want to convince yourself, simply search this sub, or do a google of site:reddit.com "all in on bch", and look at what some people paid. Look at the dates, and try to workout how much they lost compared to just holding their bitcoins (don't simply ask, they will all tell you how much better off they are). You do you, but don't take investment advice from reddit, especially not ones that are desperate to keep their own coin from dropping further.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
The propaganda from the media most of all, and how they hinder both investors and people who wish to advance their lives through bitcoin is insane.
They just pick one scandal out of million of success stories and they monopolize on it to push a false narrative.

Why is this sub called r/btc and not r/bch?I’m a little bit confused. I see there is almost a war between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash backers. Why is this sub using the name of Bitcoin? I’m sure there’s a history and a explanation behind this!

Bitcoin Cash hashrate ups 235%
We’re Bitcoin ABC, the leading full node software development team for Bitcoin Cash, AMA/AUA
It's time to spread the truthHello everyone! I'm Marco, an italian guy and I want to tell you my story. When I discovered Bitcoin I immediately fell in love with it, it was like a revelation, I understood that it had the potential to change finance, the world, practically everything. The problem arose when I started asking myself some questions: why should i use SegWith or Lightning Network? Why not simply increase the block size? Why did they make Bitcoin so difficult? It was at that moment that I began to understand that something was wrong, every time I asked a question the answers were always the same: store of value and Lightning Network. I was hearing these replies like a nursery rhyme and the worst part is that people don't even know how LN really works.
Then I discovered Bitcoin Cash and together with many answers I also found a large family. Bitcoin Cash has changed the way I see things, really!
The second problem arose when I started talking about BCH on Italian groups, always the usual answers: scam, shitcoin, btrash, etc ... This prompted me to make a decision: open the first website in Italy that talks about Bitcoin Cash.
My goal is to make people understand what Bitcoin Cash really is and why it is better than Bitcoin Core. All this, however, without forcing anyone but leaving free choice, not like many youtubers who tend to distort reality and brainwash people. If you have any advice I am ready to accept any criticism!

1) Get the private key from Atomic Wallet. 2) Install a BTC SPV wallet. 3) Decide how long you're prepared to wait to have a transaction confirmed in the blockchain. 4) Take a look at the previous block mined and see what kind of fees you'll need to pay to get it confirmed. 5) Use BTC's incredibly useful feature called replace-by-fee on the wallet. 6) Stop using BTC.

BCC TO BTC FROM BITCOINCOM TO LUNO BTC WALLETThis is really what happened. I have a luno btc wallet. So i presented the Btc wallet id to my friend to send me money, But she used [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/) and sent a BCC to my BTC wallet and at the time I haven't created a BCC wallet address for my luno wallet, so [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/) automatically generated a BCC wallet id and sent the money to that wallet. Now i have created a BCC wallet id on my luno and I still can't find a way to get the money from the generated [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/) BCC Wallet Address into my luno BCC wallet Address. The BCC wallet the money was transferred to was generated by [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/) and and I do not have access to it. But when ever I go to [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/) and clicked on block explore, then insert my luno wallet address in the search box, the transaction is displayed with my btc address as legacy and the generated bcc address as cash address, this also happens when i insert the bcc address on the search box on [bitcoincom](http://bitcoin.com/). Please Help

Bitcoin Network Sees a Massive Mining Pool Shift Following the Halving
Bitcoin Hashrate Has Tanked 40% Since Halving; Bullish Or Bearish? -
That is a strange error hmm....
Ergo update, 14 May 2020: New exchange, wallet and first mining pool!*We have three great new developments to announce to the Ergo community, all of which will boost our user base and decentralisation!*
We have not just one but three outstanding developments for the Ergo ecosystem to announce! Together, these will make it easier than ever before to acquire, trade, store and spend ERG – and will open up a huge new potential community of users, developers and hodlers.
Coinsbit listing and airdrop
Firstly, ERG has been listed on Coinsbit: a major trading platform that enables fiat deposits and withdrawals via debit and credit card. Ergo will be listed in three pairs:
* ERG/BTC
* ERG/USDT
* ERG/USD
We anticipate this will bring new traders and liquidity to the currency. The Coinsbit Telegram group has around 120,000 members, so this is a great opportunity to welcome new people to the community.
To celebrate this landmark development and promote Ergo to new traders, we are holding a joint airdrop. The conditions are as follows:
* Join Ergo’s Telegram chat: https://t.me/ergoplatform
* Register on Coinsbit and complete KYC
* Send your Coinsbit username to [u/Coinsbit](https://www.reddit.com/u/Coinsbit/) on Telegram
* Receive your 5 ERG airdrop!
The airdrop will run for just 10 days and is limited to the first 5,000 participants, so don’t delay!
Cypra wallet
The second major development is that Ergo will be integrated with the Cypra wallet. This is a fantastic multi-currency desktop and mobile wallet. It’s secure, open-source and non-custodial – making it super easy and convenient to deal with your coins!
Cypra is designed to address the worst shortcomings of conventional wallets, exchanges and payment services. It enables users to spend their crypto on real-world purchases with minimal friction and the lowest crypto-to-fiat conversion fees.
You can find out more in Cypra’s one-page summary. Check it out, keep your ERG safe and user them in a variety of cool ways!
Ergo mining pool
Lastly, we have Ergo’s first mining pool!
This is a really interesting development, since Ergo includes protection against ordinary pools by design. This is a feature implemented to improve decentralisation and accessibility for smaller, regular miners.
Jason, the pool owner, has created a decentralised pool using a smart contract that ensures miners who connect to the pool get paid. This is an intriguing example of smart contracts being used to bypass or change the consensus of a platform. It’s DeFi and community participation in action.
You can find the pool at erg.ezpool.io. There are plans to implement the Stratum protocol and efficient mining software after the pool launches.
If you’d like to find out more about the theory behind pool mining on Ergo, we have an academic paper that was presented at Financial Cryptography 2020.
That’s all for now – but stay tuned, because we have more developments on the way!
Network upgrade in less than 24h, please update your full node if you have not done so!
This is good, looking forward
There is an open source woocommerce plugin that accepts BCH and BSV.
It is free, no fee, open-source and as private as you are careful with you accounts receivable.
It was initially forked from BTC and then transitioned to BSV an abandoned. This is the most updated version I could find:

Back from 2015.. how to safely splitting BTC /BCH/BSV/?? in 2020?Hi,
In 2013 I got into Bitcoin in a big way, mainly for ideological and principal reasons. As time went on and the drama/uncertainty in the community increased, I decided to step away and try and focus on other things that align with the libertarian cause. I stored my wallet safely and made a conscious effort to ignore/avoid cryptocurrency in 2015.
​
Fast forward 4 years and I started reading about Bitcoin again, about the community split that happened after I stopped paying attention, about Bitcoin Core/Blockstream, and about the Bitcoin Cash/Bitcoin SV split. I was happy to read that Bitcoin has split away from those who wanted to limit it.
​
So here I am, in 2020, and wanting to get back into this community, so I dug out my old wallets. These wallets haven't been touched since 2015 and I'm a little uncertain how I can split all these various bitcoin forks safely?
Is there a single tool I can use to split BCH from BTC.. and then BSV from BCH? What about BTG? Are there any other forks worth noting? Any pitfalls I should watch out for?
​
Thanks for any help guys, and it's good to be back somewhere that reminds me of those early years of bitcoin :)

Bitfinex cold wallet loose 86000 btc in one monthno one in crypto space can deny the effect bitfinex has in the space, in fact it can be said that bitfinex /tether are single handedly responsible for btc 2018 bear market, after propping the price beyond reasonable valuation using usdt in the end of 2017, they are still facing multiple lawsuit regarding that issue([https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinex-market-manipulation-lawsuit-refiled-in-new-york-and-joined-by-second-case](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinex-market-manipulation-lawsuit-refiled-in-new-york-and-joined-by-second-case))
no one unfamiliar with the tether fud , but recently there have been more suspicious action taken by bitfinex :
\-printing 4 billion since the beginning of 2020
\-selling 70k btc in march(they admitted after being questioned about one third of their btc holding missing ), [https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinexs-btc-holdings-decrease-by-one-third-in-a-month](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinexs-btc-holdings-decrease-by-one-third-in-a-month), what's more suspicious is the time of which is when btc was at it's low point (4k\~5k), why would they sell so much so low?,who know?
\-now their cold wallet is missing 86k btc in one month , [https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/wallet/Bitfinex-coldwallet](https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/wallet/Bitfinex-coldwallet), with no comment about from bitfinex, in fact they even upped their tether printing this month, they already printed 1 billion usdt in just 14 day.
all this coincide from Europe possibility of banning stable coin,https://cryptobriefing.com/central-banks-recommended-ban-stablecoins/, they proposed it last year and just passed 2 month ago, which mean their serious about it.
and we already know that bitfinex is not shy of doing illegal action, like printing 860 million usdt to cover a loss last year, [https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-hits-back-at-claims-its-reserves-were-used-to-cover-850-million-loss-at-bitfinex](https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-hits-back-at-claims-its-reserves-were-used-to-cover-850-million-loss-at-bitfinex)
all this are facts easily verified by anyone , but still there is no articles from the crypto "journalist" about the cold wallet missing btc.
i thought the best thing about crypto is transparency, and that everything is on the blockchain, so why are we sitting by with the looming danger of bitfinex/tether dragging us to an other maybe longer bear market or in the worst case scenario destroying crypto, while we have better alternative that have been audited like usdc and paxos
by the way usdt is only shy 50 million usdt from taking the #3 place from xrp
well bitfinex cold wallet is missing 86000 btc in one month([https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/wallet/Bitfinex-coldwallet](https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/wallet/Bitfinex-coldwallet)), in addition to them selling 70000 btc in march (when btc was 4\~5k usd)([https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinexs-btc-holdings-decrease-by-one-third-in-a-month](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitfinexs-btc-holdings-decrease-by-one-third-in-a-month)) , all that while printing 4 billion dollars, and with Europe FSB(financial stability board) pushing for ban on stable coin just 2 month ago ([https://cryptobriefing.com/central-banks-recommended-ban-stablecoins/](https://cryptobriefing.com/central-banks-recommended-ban-stablecoins/))

so your prediction may be right

Reddit to launch Ethereum-based tokens for cryptocurrency and Fortnite subreddits - The Block
Cobra is just a scammer. He's in bed with Blockstream and can not be trusted!
Roger should definitely get the ownership of [Bitcoin.org](https://Bitcoin.org)! Owning both [Bitcoin.org](https://Bitcoin.org) and [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) will finally make the world understand that BitcoinCash is the real Bitcoin!
1,000 Wrapped BTC minted on Ethereum today. 2,300 wBTC vs 927 on Lightning Network. Ethereum is doing more to scalle BTC than Lightning Network.
Its been pretty excessive, I was honestly fairly disgusted with that Satoshi video thread.
BCH "is for everyone" but the attitude of a few prominent community members and moderators says the opposite and creates a hostile attitude.
If there is adoption, *there will be more and more new people coming to this sub*.
If every alternate or uninformed opinon is flagged as "possible troll" its really not better than /bitcoin despite not outright banning or censoring it. You still cast doubt and hostility, and it makes people want to leave and never come back.
/u/egon_1 is the biggest offender by far and makes this sub look like shit.
Fight FUD with facts
avalanche is a way of cconverting BCH to an altcoin. divide and conquer says the banker.
Mining Pi Coin with your Smartphone - Passive Income*Semi sales pitch post as I get fractions of a penny if you use my referral code as I'm trying to build a network in case this thing takes off...*
If you'd like to earn some cryptocurrency using your Smartphone, I recommend checking out the free app called **Pi Network**. Pi is a digital currency that can be earned by running a light weight program on your phone. It runs smoothly in the background and will not compromise the performance of your device, and only requires that you open it once a day and tap a green button to ensure you remain active in order keep earning Pi coins.
Pi coins are worth little right now *(price:* [*https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pi-network-iou*](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pi-network-iou)*)* and can be mined quickly and easily for free. If they rise in price the way alt coins are expected to rise in 2020, the coins you mine today for free on your phone may increase in value drastically turning you a nice profit! Of course, they may also fail and amount to nothing, but what if Pi becomes the next Bitcoin? I mean, Bitcoin too was once worth a tiny fraction back in 2009 compared to what it is worth today.
Pi Network is available for Android and iOS smartphones and they require that you use a referral/invite code upon installation. Installation actually will not proceed without the invite code as the program is still in Beta testing so you may use the code: *cpalaniuk*
This is a free and easy way to dabble with Cryptocurrency and possibly make a lot of money in the future, depending on how many coins you mine and if the value of Pi rises in the near future as expected.
Good luck and happy mining!
