That is not anymore surprising to me. There is an old Chinese wisdom that says, in essence: repeat a lie often and it becomes the truth. People can be blind to the truth and sometime it is frustrating to know and feel that no matter how we educate them they still prefer to hear lies and lies. Anyway, the bottom line is that it is their own right to believe a lie since we are in a democracy. 

Looks like somepeople just want to get scammed no matter how many times we warn them.

In the end these are the same people who invested in the scam ICO's or Bitconnect probably. They can't be helped. Even though there are hundreds of proofs showing that Craig is a fraud and BSV is a scam they'll keep investing in that shitcoin.

Slow transaction and high fees reason are well known to you, although transactions are not slow all the time and fees are not high all the time. If you have problem with 1MB max block size, you must not talk about both block size and Segwit at once.

I believe I don't need to explain what RBF, LN is. You are more expert than 99% people here.

To me, BCH & BSV are same as the other ICO, they are stealing bitcoin.

I talk about SegWit because it removes the signatures from transactions, it was implemented by the Core/Blockstream developer on BTC. The whitepaper explain that Bitcoin is a chain of digital signatures.

So, if you remove the digital signatures from the bitcoin transactions, that's not Bitcoin any more. It's not that hard. Just need a little bit of logic to understand it. 

The 1MB blocksize was a temporary measure to avoid spam during times where Bitcoin was worth nothing, it had to be removed while usage increased, but Core/Blockstream developers didn't remove it because they have to sell their Sidechains/Liquid technology. If Bitcoin works, sidechains/Liquid/Blockstream aren't needed. 

There will be a nice debate tonight between BTC and BSV proponents, I think everyone could find it interesting:

Yes, nobody watched it, just 5000 persons in 1 and half days. 🤦‍♂️🤡
 

Look, Mcafee is starting to admit Craig Wright was involved with Bitcoin since the beginning. We're getting closer and closer to the moment all the coretards will start to say "Not my Satoshi!" LOL 
 

BTW here is an interesting video from a couple of nights ago at Cambridge University, where Dr. Craig Wright explain some interesting stuff about Bitcoin, watched by 1100 persons so far. It almost look like he knows what he's talking about... 🤷‍♂️

Oh yes Wikileaks, still old incomplete news, there is a court case where they're examining all of that. But yeah let's say Craig Wright goes to jail, what do you expect to happen to BSV? What do you think the developers and users will do, stop developing on BSV because Craig is in jail? And what about Nchain, which has all the patents and researchers working on BSV? 

Oh and BTW here is a new article from Craig Wright expanding on this Satoshi's post:

That post is golden. Craig Wright is a criminal and should be in Jail. Anyone supports and promotes that shit is also supporting a scammer/criminal. You don't get to say "I didn't know that I was supporting a criminal" when you stay in front of a judge. The law doesn't work that way.

In my opnion BSV is not a scam coin because this coin listed on so many exchanges and so many crypto users also accept and trading this coin. It will turn into a scam if their CEO sell all their BSV coin.

This is most certainly a scam promoted by a known fraudster. I don't know how he can call himself professor at all, he is a big liar, and publicity hungry wanker.

Also, he doesn't have anything similar to Satoshi's Vision even he called his fork project like that. He is a scammer who tries to control the crypto community.

I think people think that it is not a scam project that steals money from us. It is a scam project in a different way but most of the people in the crypto community don't know that.

at first, i wasn t too sure about the whole  scam accusation  thread as I think anyone has the right to invest and believe in a coin, even the shittiest one. But the more I read morons like alevlaslo, the more I tend to think they're either being paid to shill that BullShitVision or they're just trolling. Either way, this is pure dishonesty. How is it ok to pump a coin with such obvious lies (Binance's relisting, the whole copyright story, the 50k moving. ? People are losing money because of you idiots  calvin Ayre is a pedo and a scammer, Wright is probably just a puppet but still a scammer. How can you guys support such individuals and how they do business ?

Do you understand that the fake copyright news and binance relisting was pulled around by anonymous twitter accounts? Did you have any link to Calvin Ayre being convicted of pedophily or scam? Those are some strong accusations. You should inform yourself outside of Cryptotwitter or you will be lost on so much things. do you know what these stats are? 
 

BTW, do you know there are people that bought BTC for 8000$/20000$ and lost a lot of money? what a scam!!!

    • Спасибо вам тоже удачи желаю. Но вы совсем уходите? Иногда взгляните на форум, может когда то "революция" будет). Мне тоже не охотно писать каждый день, даже по два поста. Надеемся форум восстановят и мы снова будем писать посты.

    • Компания по предоставлению финансовых услуг Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) объявила, что не будет предоставлять какое-либо залоговое обеспечение для ETF с участием биткойнов.   В заявлении , опубликованном 26 апреля, уточняется, что залоговая стоимость ETF и аналогичных инвестиционных инструментов с биткойнами или другими криптовалютами в качестве базовых активов будет снижена до нуля. Однако криптоэнтузиаст KO Kryptowaluty в сообщении на X отметил, что изменение касается только расчетов между организациями в рамках системы кредитной линии.   По мнению Kryptowaluty, использование криптовалютных ETF для кредитования и в качестве залога в брокерской деятельности, скорее всего, останется неизменным, в зависимости от толерантности к риску отдельных брокеров. Хотя DTCC выразил несогласие с криптовалютными ETF, другие авторитетные игроки этого не сделали. Клиенты Goldman Sachs начали вновь выходить на рынок криптовалют  в 2024 году, чему способствовал новый энтузиазм после запуска спотовых биткойн-ETF.  С момента своего появления эти ETF привлекли значительный институциональный интерес, накопив активы под управлением на сумму более 12,5 миллиардов долларов за три месяца.   В феврале на десять биткойн-ETF, одобренных в США 11 января, пришлось примерно 75% новых инвестиций в биткойны.  Несмотря на этот всплеск, в последние недели приток мигрантов снизился. Farside Investors сообщила о чистом оттоке $218 млн из спотовых биткоин-ETF 25 апреля после оттока $120 млн накануне. Между тем, 25 апреля Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) в очередной раз отложила принятие решения по заявкам на спотовые опционы Bitcoin ETF. Регулирующий орган продлевает срок и требует общественного обсуждения в течение следующего 21 дня и опровержений в течение 35 дней. Агентство задалось вопросом, должны ли опционы на спотовые биткойн-ETF следовать тем же правилам, что и акции.   Несколько бирж, в том числе Cboe Exchange, Inc., BOX Exchange LLC, MIAX International Securities Exchange LLC, Nasdaq ISE, LLC и NYSE American LLC, подали заявки на предложение торговли опционами на эти ETF. Кроме того, SEC отложила принятие решений по заявкам Grayscale и Bitwise на введение ETF опционов на биткойны , назначив следующую дату рассмотрения на 29 мая.

    • Forex and Cryptocurrency Forecast for April 29 - May 3, 2024 EUR/USD: Inflation Persists, US GDP Growth Slows   The US economy remains the most powerful on the planet. Moreover, its share of global GDP has reached a nearly two-decade high of 26.3%. According to the IMF, from 2018, the European Union's share decreased by 1.4%, Japan's by 2.1%, while the United States increased by 2.3%. China's GDP is 64% of the American figure, down from 67% five years ago. As a result, the dollar remains the undisputed leader among G10 currencies, with no contenders for its throne in the foreseeable future. The strength of the national economy, coupled with a robust labour market, allows the Federal Reserve to focus on combating inflation, aiming to reduce it to the target 2.0%. According to Jerome Powell, head of the US Central Bank, easing monetary policy under current conditions would have far more negative consequences for the economy than maintaining it tight over a long period. Against this backdrop, the likelihood of a dollar interest rate cut at the Fed's June meeting, according to the FedWatch Tool, fell to 15%. Market participants believe that, at best, a decision to change the current policy may be taken in September. Some economists, including analysts from Morgan Stanley and Societe Generale, even suggest that the Fed may delay the first rate cut until early 2025. Such forecasts led to the US currency rising to five-month highs in mid-April against the euro, British pound, Australian, and New Zealand dollars, with USD/JPY once again reaching a 34-year price record and the DXY index climbing to 106.42.   However, that was in mid-April. For the last ten days of the month, the DXY was under bearish pressure, pushing EUR/USD upward. Jerome Powell stated that decisions on rate cuts are not made in advance but depend entirely on macroeconomic statistics. The statistics released in the last few days looked ambiguous, causing doubts that the US economy could maintain its previous positive dynamics. Tuesday's statistics on April 23, regarding US business activity and core durable goods orders, disappointed investors. Preliminary data from S&P Global showed that the Business Activity Index (PMI) in the US services sector unexpectedly fell from 51.7 to 50.9 points. The manufacturing sector's indicators were even worse, where the PMI crossed the threshold, separating progress from regression. In April, this indicator fell from 51.9 to 49.9 (forecast 52.0). These data alone are not as significant as labor market or inflation reports, but two days later, on April 25, they were supplemented by equally disappointing US GDP data. The preliminary estimate showed that US economic growth in Q1 was only 1.6%, lower than the forecast 2.5% and previous 3.4%. Compared to the same quarter in 2023, GDP growth decreased from 3.1% to 3.0%. Against this backdrop, the DXY, and with it EUR/USD, underwent a correction, with the pair rising to 1.0752.     It should be recalled that the US inflation data released on April 10 showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached 3.5% year-on-year, the highest in six months. On Friday, April 26, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that inflation measured by the change in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index in March rose to 2.7% (year-on-year). The core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, instead of the expected decrease to 2.6%, remained at the previous level of 2.8%. Thus, on the one hand, we see that inflation is resistant and does not want to go down, and on the other hand, we observe a slowdown in GDP growth.   According to our forecasts, faced with such a crossroads, the Fed will still not deviate from its previous path and will choose to fight price growth. Moreover, the decrease in GDP in Q1 should not overly alarm the regulator, as the US economy had been expanding at 2% and more for seven consecutive quarters, despite the aggressively tight monetary policy of the Fed. Moreover, recent labor market data looks very positive. The number of initial unemployment claims decreased from 212K to 207K (forecast 214K) – a minimum since February.   On Tuesday, April 23, the same day as in the US, preliminary data on business activity came out from the other side of the Atlantic. In Germany, the Manufacturing PMI rose from 41.9 to 42.2, and in the services sector – from 50.1 to 53.3, the Composite Index – from 47.7 to 50.5. Regarding the Eurozone as a whole, a positive dynamic was also noted. Thus, the Business Activity Index in the services sector rose from 51.5 to 52.9 points, the Composite Index from 50.3 to 51.4. The exception was the Manufacturing PMI (a decrease from 46.1 to 45.6). As for forecasts about the start of easing monetary policy by the European Central Bank, the emphasis is still on June. This was once again confirmed by the president of the German Bundesbank and a member of the ECB's Governing Council, Joachim Nagel, who stated on April 24 that a rate cut in June does not necessarily imply a series of rate cuts. In other words, in June – yes, there will be a cut, what happens next – is still unknown.   All of the above indicates that the fundamental indicators are still on the side of the dollar. The EUR/USD correction is likely to be limited and will not be powerful or prolonged. Last week, the pair closed at 1.0692. According to economists from the Singapore-based United Overseas Bank, it is unlikely to have the strength to break through the resistance at 1.0765. As for the forecast for the near future, as of the evening of April 26, 50% of experts expect the dollar to strengthen, 35% – its weakening, the remaining 15% maintained neutrality. Among the trend indicators on D1, 65% are on the side of the bears, 35% – are coloured green. Among the oscillators, a third are on the side of the bears, a third – on the side of the greens, and a third – are painted in neutral gray. The nearest support for the pair is located in the zone of 1.0680, then 1.0600-1.0620, 1.0560, 1.0495-1.0515, 1.0450, 1.0375, 1.0255, 1.0130, 1.0000. Resistance zones are located in the areas of 1.0710-1.0725, 1.0740-1.0750, 1.0795-1.0805, 1.0865, 1.0895-1.0925, 1.0965-1.0980, 1.1015, 1.1050, 1.1100-1.1140.    The coming week promises to be quite turbulent and volatile as it is filled with various important events. On Monday, April 29, preliminary data on consumer inflation (CPI) in Germany will be released. The next day, another batch of German statistics will be released, including GDP and retail sales figures. On the same day, we will learn the preliminary volume of GDP and the level of inflation in the Eurozone as a whole. On Wednesday, May 1, Germany and many other EU countries will have a holiday – Labor Day. However, the United States will continue to work on this day. First, the ADP report on employment levels in the private sector of the country and indicators of business activity in the manufacturing sector will be published. The most important event will undoubtedly be the meeting of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) of the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday, May 1, and the subsequent press conference of the management of this regulator. In addition, on Friday, May 3, we traditionally await another batch of very important statistics from the American labor market, including the unemployment rate and the number of new jobs created outside the agricultural sector (NFP), as well as revised data on business activity (PMI) in the US services sector.   GBP/USD: US PCE Hindered the Strengthening of the Pound   The preliminary statistics on business activity in the United Kingdom released on Tuesday, April 23, were mixed. The PMI in the manufacturing sector of the country crossed from above to below the growth/fall boundary, and with a forecast and previous value of 50.3 points, it actually fell to 48.7. In the UK services sector, on the other hand, there was growth in April – the indicator rose from 53.1 to 54.9 (market expectations 53.0). As a result, the Composite PMI reached 54.0 (52.8 a month earlier). However, all these figures did not attract much attention from investors.   On April 22, GBP/USD fell to 1.2300. The bulls on the pair took advantage of the dollar's overbought condition to return it to the lower boundary of the medium-term corridor of 1.2500-1.2800 in which it had been moving since the end of November last year. However, they did not have enough strength to consolidate within the corridor. The two-week maximum was recorded at 1.2540, after which, pushed by US PCE, the pair went down again and ended the five-day period at 1.2492.   According to specialists from United Overseas Bank, as long as the support at 1.2420 is not broken, there is still a possibility of the pound breaking through the 1.2530 mark. The next resistance, according to them, is at 1.2580. The median forecast of analysts regarding the behaviour of GBP/USD in the near future looks maximally uncertain: 20% voted for the movement of the pair to the south, the same amount – to the north, and the majority (60%) simply shrugged their shoulders. As for technical analysis, the trend indicators on D1 point south 65% and 35% look north. Among the oscillators, the picture is mixed: 25% recommend selling, 25% – buying, and 50% are in the neutral zone. In case of further decline of the pair, it will encounter support levels and zones at 1.2450, 1.2400-1.2420, 1.2300-1.2330, 1.2185-1.2210, 1.2110, 1.2035-1.2070, 1.1960, and 1.1840. In case of growth, the pair will encounter resistance at levels 1.2530-1.2540, 1.2575-1.2610, 1.2695-1.2710, 1.2755-1.2775, 1.2800-1.2820, 1.2885-1.2900.   No significant statistics on the state of the UK economy are planned for the week.   USD/JPY: Reached the Moon, Next Target – Mars?     We called the previous review "Higher and Higher". Now, it is worth asking at what altitude will this flight into space end? When will the Bank of Japan (BoJ) finally decide on a radical change in its monetary policy?   At the meeting on April 26, the members of the Japanese Central Bank unanimously decided to keep the key interest rate at the previous level of 0.0-0.1%. Moreover, the regulator removed from the statement the reference that it is currently buying JGB bonds for about 6 trillion yen per month. The statement after the meeting states that "the prospects for the development of the economy and prices in Japan are extremely uncertain," "if inflation rises, the Bank of Japan will likely change the degree of easing of monetary policy," however, "it is expected that the eased monetary policy will be maintained for some time."   The market predictably reacted to such decisions of the Japanese Central Bank with another Japanese candle on the chart of the USD/JPY pair. The maximum was recorded at 158.35, which corresponds to the peak values of 1990. There were no currency interventions to save the national currency, which many market participants feared. Recall that strategists from the Dutch Rabobank called the level of 155.00 critical for the start of such interventions by the Ministry of Finance of Japan. The same mark was called by 16 out of 21 economists surveyed by Reuters. The rest predicted such actions at levels of 156.00 (2 respondents), 157.00 (1), and 158.00 (2). USD/JPY has long exceeded the levels at which the intervention took place in October 2022 and where the market turned around about a year later. It now seems that 158.00 is not the limit. Perhaps it is worth raising the forecast bar to 160.00? Or immediately to 200.00?   USD/JPY ended the past week at 158.32. The forecast of analysts regarding the near future of the pair looks as follows: fear of currency interventions still prevails over 60% of them, while the remaining 40% are waiting for the continuation of the flight to Mars. Technical analysis tools clearly have no concerns about interventions. Therefore, all 100% of trend indicators and oscillators on D1 point north, although a third of the latter are in the overbought zone. The nearest support level is located in the area of 156.25, then 153.90-154.30, 153.10, 151.00, 149.70-150.00, 148.40, 147.30-147.60, 146.50. And it is practically impossible to determine resistance levels. We only note the reversal maximum of April 1990, 160.30, although this target is quite conditional.   No significant events regarding the state of the Japanese economy are expected in the coming week. Moreover, traders should keep in mind that Monday and Friday in Japan are holidays: April 29, the country celebrates the birthday of Hirohito (Emperor Showa), May 3 – Constitution Day.   CRYPTOCURRENCIES: Where Will Bitcoin Fall?   As expected, the fourth halving took place in the bitcoin network at block #840000 on April 20. The reward for finding a block was reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Recall that halving is a halving of the reward size for miners for adding a new block to the bitcoin blockchain. This event is embedded in the code of the first cryptocurrency and occurs every 210,000 blocks – until the moment when the mining of 21 million coins (presumably in 2040) ends the emission of cryptocurrency. It should be noted that the fourth halving will provide for the mining of approximately 95% of the entire bitcoin emission, about 99% of all coins will be mined by 2033-2036. Then, the emission will gradually move towards zero.   In the previous review, we promised to tell how the market would react to this important event. We promised – we report: the market reaction is close to zero. For several days after the halving, there was no growth in volatility. The price of bitcoin slowly and lazily moved first upward, reaching $67,269 on April 23, and then returned to where it began its weekly journey: to the $64,000 zone. It seems that market participants froze in anticipation of who would be the first to start buying or, conversely, selling the main cryptocurrency massively.   According to experts from Bitfinex, the post-halving supply restriction stabilizes the price of the first cryptocurrency and may contribute to its growth. "The reduction in the pace of bitcoin issuance after halving, which will amount to $30-40 million per day, contrasts sharply with the daily net inflow of $150 million into spot ETFs. This emphasizes a significant demand and supply imbalance, which may contribute to further price growth," stated the Bitfinex report.   However, analysts from QCP Capital believe that bitcoin optimists will have to wait at least two months before assessing the effect of the past fourth halving. "The spot price grew exponentially only 50-100 days after each of the three previous halvings. If this pattern repeats this time, bitcoin bulls still have weeks to create a larger long position," their report stated.   Anthony Pompliano, the founder of the venture company Pomp Investments, believes that within 12-18 months, the coin is expected to grow to $100,000, with chances of reaching $150,000-200,000. However, before moving to a bull rally, BTC/USD, in his opinion, is waiting for a correction down. At the same time, Pompliano believes that the price will not fall below $50,000. "I think we have already crossed this Rubicon," – he wrote.   The possible upcoming decline of the main cryptocurrency is probably a topic currently much more discussed than its subsequent growth. Many agree that bitcoin coins will appreciate in the long term. But how will quotes behave in the more foreseeable future? Fidelity Digital Assets, the leading issuer of one of the spot BTC ETFs, has already revised its medium-term forecast for bitcoin from positive to neutral. The reason for abandoning optimistic sentiments is several worrying trends in the crypto market. Fidelity analysts noted the growing interest in selling from long-term hodlers. Among them, there is currently a large percentage of profitable addresses, as noted in the company's report. This means that holders may want to lock in profits and start selling BTC. On the other hand, on-chain data indicates that small investors, on the contrary, continue to accumulate the first cryptocurrency. Since the beginning of the year, the number of addresses on which BTC is stored for at least $1,000 has increased by 20% and reached a new historical maximum. "Such a trend may indicate the growing dissemination of bitcoin and its acceptance among 'average' users," – Fidelity noted.   Specialists from CryptoQuant examined the SOPR indicator readings for these categories of investors and made conclusions similar to those of their colleagues from Fidelity. Investments in Bitcoin by "new" whales (owners of coins "aged" less than 155 days) almost doubled the indicator of "old" large players (more than 155 days). At the same time, the increased value of the metric showed that the profits of the "old" hodlers significantly exceed the indicators of the "newcomers". And if the "old-timers" move to fix profits, this may lead to the formation of price peaks. An analysis of the current picture, according to CEO of CryptoQuant Ki Young Ju, also speaks of the need to exercise caution in anticipation of possible corrections and increased volatility.   Recall that earlier, specialists from JPMorgan noted that digital gold is in a state of overbought. And co-founder of CMCC Crest Willy Woo noted that if the price of the first cryptocurrency falls below the support level of short-term holders at $58,900, the market risks moving into a bearish phase.   As of the evening of Friday, April 26, the BTC/USD pair is trading in the region of $63,950. The total capitalization of the crypto market is $2.36 trillion ($2.32 trillion a week ago). The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index remained in the Greed zone, although it rose from 66 to 70 points.   Finally, in conclusion of the review, our long-forgotten crypto-life-hacks column. It turns out that in order to become a crypto millionaire, it is enough to have a marker and a piece of paper. The possibility of such a way of enrichment was proven by Christian Langlois, also known as Bitcoin Sign Guy. This guy made headlines in many news outlets after showing a notebook sheet with the inscription "Buy Bitcoin" behind the back of the Chair of the Federal Reserve System Janet Yellen. At that moment, the head of the Fed was giving testimony about the state of the US economy. This image instantly spread across the network and became one of the symbols of the emerging crypto industry.   For his misdemeanour, the 22-year-old intern Langlois was disgracefully expelled from the hearings. But after this episode was shown on television, enthusiasts sent 7 BTC to his crypto wallet to thank the guy for his bold move. Four years ago, Christian sold 21 copies of the "cult" sheet at an average price of 0.8 BTC, earning another 16.8 BTC. Thus, his total earnings reached 23.8 BTC, which is more than $1.5 million at the current exchange rate. And a few weeks ago, Langlois was offered another 5 bitcoins for the original, but he refused to sell the sheet. Nevertheless, Christian liked the idea of further monetizing the self-created object of "artistic and historical heritage", and he decided to sell it at an auction, directing the proceeds to finance his startup Tirrel Corp. On April 25, 2024, the auction house Scarce.City reported that the lot, which became a popular meme, was sold for 16 BTC (more than $1 million).
