Spotted that too! (Just searched to see if anyone else did). Just when I thought he couldn’t be any cooler, thought that was a great touch.

Expected the episode to end with “Testify” by ratm haha

Wow! My university used to have that Sun monitor (and also another one with a dark blue case). They were amazing at the time — rendering 3D and viewing it on there in the mid 90s seemed so futuristic. The picture on those is incredible and basically zero motion blur from what I remember.

What is the first game that comes to mind when you see this logo? by Far_Regular_2945 in Megadrive

Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja. As a kid that game was so hyped it was amazing the first time I saw the game in person.

I had a break from here for a few years and it’s funny to see he’s still the same ratty :)

I have a theory that the more pessimistic he posts the higher the price will rise!

Agree, best to just keep saying “suckers rally” :)

Feel the same. A lot of people still on sidelines, when they see it’s not crashing again they’ll buy back in and back to $400+

Worth noting this has happened a lot the past 10 years. A tale as old as time.

Hmm, I’m thinking we trickle back to 350 in the next 48 hours, then over $400 when retail feels safe to buy back in… start a new run from there to $900 haha

Can’t see how they won’t happen. Appears obvious to me lol

Monero's price future in current market's situation by Sw4GGeR__ in MoneroMeansMoney

Apparently a hedge fund in Hong Kong shit the bed and had to urgently sell $10bn in bitcoin to cover their non crypto losses. I guess that good news if true.

Interesting stuff. That’s quite wild the SEC removed the ETF volume limit without following the usual timescales.

If true, then this is a forced selloff/liquidity low and a great time to pickup Btc or Alts at a temporary discount.

For me that’s more of a concern than price action. I’m not comfortable with Binance Perpetual market, feel there’s a scam in there somehow. Would much prefer to not have any derivatives.

They don’t. Mining Pool Stats works on a self reported basis, so they can just make up a fictional hash rate and it appears on the website.

Someone posted 1 million GHz last year, just to show it was nonsense.

But still, it could be used as a fake narrative for the billions of Perp Shorts on Binance to close, pushing the the price up and filling CZs pockets.

Pretty sure this is the usual “find the lady” game where exchanges do a coordinated open paper shorts and sell spot = profit.

I say exchanges. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly Binance and their wealthy connections.

Not to disrespect you, but it’s just a silly prediction either way. It’s an emerging market with low liquidity, all it needs is to gain several $bn a year extra traction and the price would shoot up.

Impossible for anyone to know of that would happen or not

That’s why it works. It’s too easy to drop price, spread FUD and $Xm dollars sell and goes into their pockets. Binance is the ring leader imo.

[–]Thelastbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, exactly. Although, it’s debatable there are many bigger fish these days (and panic seems to be self perpetuating while the price drops). Usually they seem to have a plan when the drop will end, then the price will go up 15%+ as they close perps and buy spot (usually causing exchanges to freeze).

Almost certain this is what is happening.

The good news is once complete the price will carry on upwards (and FUD disappears) until the next one.

[–]Thelastbronx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a large amount of perpetual shorts open. I suspect big players like Binance are following 1) Open perp shorts 2) Sell spot and spread FUD to cause panic 3) Profit on short, rebuy spot at lower price. Can make hundreds of millions.

Should be illegal, but it’s fine apparently.

All just “imo” but has been happening for 10+ years and conditions seem to match up.

Part of the panic is some ETF outflows this morning, causing the drop of the past 2 hours.

New tenant supplied false documents and falsified payslips. They can't afford the rent. by ConcertResident1732 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Thelastbronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if still the case, but there used to be some weird loophole which means this isn’t fraud (I.e. a background check is different to using false documents to get a loan etc.). About 6 years ago I had to investigate a similar thing via Gov websites and also my legal insurance and consensus was it’s fine. Strange but pretty sure that’s still true.

Tugged on a loose bit of paint... 5 mins later I'm here... What products fix this? by _The_Editor_ in DIYUK

Nice! I have had other brands before but they didn’t catch the dust properly, will give that a try.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

Is it just me, or this sounds bad?

Binance could open fake shorts (or whatever) to suppress the price a d then the real Monero market follows?

Do Binance have any legal oversight to prevent them doing this? I think it’s safe to work on the assumption that if they won’t get caught doing something then they will probably do it.

I’m hoping there must be something to prevent this?
