On another note, did you guys hear about this?

Binance Probed by U.S. as Money-Laundering, Tax Sleuths Bore In
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-13/binance-probed-by-u-s-as-money-laundering-tax-sleuths-bore-in

The IRS and Justice Department are going after Binance exchange. Any speculation as to whether this might affect Binance Coin ($BNB)? Binance Coin is the native currency on Binance's blockchain (Binance Chain). Will this make investors of $BNB flee in fear? Binance coin is ranked #3 in the crypto market by way of market cap.

Thoughts?

if Binance gets convicted it would be quite bad since they are the biggest exchange measured by trading volume.

Turns out the article title is misleading and once you read through it, it actually projetcs Binance in a good light. Click bait title..

15.7k BTC moved to Binance a few hours ago. We ain’t done yet  :-X

BTC close at 46.5k on Monday?

ETH risk is down to 2.7k but it’s holding up insanely well so I’m not sure it’ll crack under 3k.

I think Elon is genuinely serious about Doge...... look at how the market reacts. Can we not afford
To own Doge lol?

Seeing as you're still hanging on to btc, how do you see this panning out short term?

We are at half way point of bull cycle. 3-5x from here.

19k moved to binance  right before the Elon tweet.  Someone had insider info....

I hold 330k of doge. I cant wait to offload it at 1$ and watch this coin capitulate 90% during the draw down.

where is this info? can you please provide a link? thanks and which tweet was it, the most recent or the one that caused the current slide down?

and are you using the stock to flow chart as your call on where we are in the bull market?

If bitcoin has a finite supply, wont the energy consumption plummet once they are all mined?

you won't be alive by the time its all mined.

Crazy huh. The guy might just be the Anti Christ lol.

Nice work on Doge, i have a handful which I’ll dump after I see him tweet a photo of a dog LoL.

Why is ADA rallying and not Doge? Elon doesn’t give a shit about ADA so who decided he was meaning ADA to be the next thing?

I believe ADA is rallying because Elon mentioned in one of his tweets that he is exploring other cryptocurrencies that aren't as devastating to the environment via the use of fossil fuels for mining & transactions. In particular, he said they are looking into other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy per transaction. ADA goes easy on the environment and isn't producing the carbon emissions from mining that BitCoin produces.

One of the statistics I read when comparing ADA to BTC was that ADA's annual energy consumption was equal to 6 GWh (Gigawatt hours), whereas BTC's annual energy consumption was equal to 130 TWh (Terawatt-hour). ADA's energy consumption is 21,000x less than BTC's per year. Whereas BTC's energy consumption is equivalent to 0.6% of global electricity consumption and supposedly on par with the country of Jordan which has over 10 million people. This is why institutional money is flowing into ADA. They see a potential solution or alternate option for Elon's crypto dilemma (finding a crypto that is less harmful on the environment).

I believe this is the same reason why ETH is taking a hit today. Both BTC & ETH have serious mining issues that hurt the environment, ADA and others like DOT are a good solution to that.

This is also where the argument of Proof of work vs Proof of stake comes into play. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both Proof of work, whereas ADA and DOT are proof of stake. Proof of work requires an intense amount of computer power and electricity for miners to verify transactions on a blockchain, whereas Proof of stake removes energy-intensive equation solving by computers, thus it’s much more efficient than proof of work.

This is one of the reasons Cardano is rallying in addition to the fact that it was laying low when Ethereum was shooting up.

Just a reminder that Ethereum is also moving to proof of stake. I am already staking Ethereum and there are others on this forum staking as well. Vitalik also proposed fast tracking the switch to Ethereum 2.0.

https://cryptobriefing.com/key-ethereum-researchers-vote-to-ship-proof-of-stake-in-2021/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=4d436316892a3ca99a3b39c807a71e2aca353ec2-1620948998-0-AWfI7pFsD8KWgtjrgagAWBEFQGS4BwRnVjpaoHJWMtkE5gt_DfgmM7NbC30QPTnk1RtJJQ23YMhD_LsjQlyfI_xO8MN2mmlCrxstTmcBgkg_-8tri8YTVYAcIkmDs9nBsGXrcp70OF543AbAVHfiNVPtFzKZJHHifCOrz6jPFcWVPW9pc_qIFLLmOv_GkbPVlalfUdptOHrmc24UE9etDkq0doczcCARI3oMJbhR02qyy_TWLCOQgBtsjghHQgSQ1rzgzqqrnZ3eLj0G_sQchUuzsmBmwde0LX_XX6p8n42a8EXr2GJEgd08S2aRFD1dEPqbRevloUyADk60VjQyMP79gRghBLuBllqEoJxeA0ZC-H2gowBXPscbmO90UFD5Wim6zI5AIgkN5hfVpmq442C9YCrlamtwPsCvEz1qWyf9EcmYKa22yFZab-iVReG_OjmuMCcU9DmraWsNguYey-xGZXiHEI-E4r1rNHvvfvdV

Proof-of-Stake could be coming to Ethereum in 2021. A poll conducted by Ethereum 2.0 researcher Justin Drake shows that the community is overwhelmingly in favor of fast-tracking the upgrade.

Key Takeaways

- Vitalik Buterin and other Ethereum researchers have supported launching “the merge” phase of Ethereum 2.0 in 2021.

- The initial Ethereum 2.0 roadmap planned for launching sharding ahead of the merge of Ethereum mainnet and the Beacon chain. Ethereum's latest plans involve fast-tracking the merge ahead of sharding.

- Justin Drake told Crypto Briefing that he is “confident” that Proof-of-Stake will go live this year.

The ADA moon boys decided that. They are fanatic about Cardano. My dislike for Charles Hoskinson is the only reason I did not fomo in it more. I have Cardano but not heavily invested in it.

Bitcoin dump, thanks to Elon. Maybe he plans on switching to Doge payments.

What a crazy day!

Yep. He's pimping Doge now

@elonmusk

Working with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency. Potentially promising.

you won't be alive by the time its all mined.
And then what? How will transactions be secured once miners jump off the train? Bitcoin mining will be like oil mining. All oil will not be mined but it will stop because it becomes too expensive to mine. If Bitcoin stays with the same model miners will stop mining before all Bitcoin are mined because the payouts in BTC will be so small it would not be worth it. i have also heard that Bitcoin's zero inflation will be an issue in the future. A little inflation is needed to keep things alive.

I hold a small position in Ethereum, as well as MATIC for now. MATIC I hold in case Ethereum 2.0 flops and MATIC still serves ETH for functionality purposes.

What's your take on the probable success of Ethereum 2.0? There are many naysayers regarding ETH 2.0.

There are many smart developers working on the upgrade to Ethereum 2. It is a daunting task considering that Ethereum is live with many working projects on it. Meanwhile a project like Cardano is afforded a lot more flexibility because their smart contracts are not yet live. So they can tweak it as they please without worrying about breaking something. They have the time to fix it because it is not live. However I am wondering why it is taking them so long. They've had 4 years now and yet smart contracts have not been enabled on Cardano. I am sure it is coming but if it is taking this long you have to wonder what's going on? Charles Hoskinson makes it sound so easy in interviews.

I think Ethereum 2 will not flop but of course nobody knows what the future will bring. Apple was on death's door when Microsoft rescued them a few decades ago. And now Apple is a behemoth.

There's some FUD about Ethereum. This article for example:

https://medium.com/coinmonks/layer-2-wont-save-ethereum-a52aa2bd719b

So I will be looking at every issue this guy is raising and seeing if there is a proposed solution for it.

First search I did seems to indicate yes.

I think like most things, when 2.0 first gets put out, the road will be bumpy. But like that first article said, with the type of firepower the developers on Ethereum have, it's only a matter of time before they find viable solutions to each of the 3 (Composability, Liquidity & movement between L2's) major issues brought up.

Part of the various unknowns surrounding the entire ETH 2.0 rollout is why I stick with MATIC (small position). Like they suggested, with MATIC you'll be able to connect all the L2 solutions in a standard framework, which while it doesn't solve all of the major issues brought up in that article, it does buy them time while the developers iron out the kinks.

Sure, glassnode is where  I derive my on-chain anaylsis. Coins were moved before he announced  Tesla ceasing to accept btc as payment.

S2fx puts btc at 288k EOY. If you look at glassnode coins are being pulled off exchanges at an alarming rate. Certain entities are really suppressing the price while addresses woth 100-1000btc keep accumulating.

This has an all to familiar theme that coincides with 2017.  Fake actors pumping smaller capped cloins.  Is Elon the John Mcafee of 2021......To me its all noise, the  space is much bigger than a few bad seeds.

The other scenario is the double top we had in 2013. Went from 100$ to 1000$. Todays scenario would see 50k  to 500k. I believe it will take another 2.3trillion injected into btc to get a 10trllion market cap and btc hit 500k

Do you have a subscription to glassnode?
