Training Logs and Info / Re: Oldtimer1
« Last post by oldtimer1 on May 02, 2024, 06:03:55 PM »Taking a break from lifting. Feeling a little burnt out from it.
4-28-2024: Ran 5.16 miles. After I did 4x 110 yard strides. (Almost a sprint but slower because I'm shot from the distance run.)
4-29-2024: Ran 5.05 miles. After I did 4 x 110 yard strides.
4-30-2024: Ran 5.05 miles. After I hit the heavy bag for a couple of rounds
5-1-2024: Ran 5.14 miles. After I did 5 x 110 yard strides
5-2-2024: Ran 3.08 miles and I pushed the pace faster than my 5 miles runs.
23 miles in five days. Since I took a long break from lifting it's time to get back to it. Tomorrow is a lifting day. I will pick up running again after two days away from it. I can see my face is getting lean. When I get a gaunt face I don't look good, lol.
Eating a little bit of crap everyday. I have to get back to my diet app and be held accountable. I did most of the runs in my favorite park that has a roughly one mile asphalt loop. Great running without the fear of getting hit by a car. It sometimes can be packed with walkers. The women walking there are a pain in the ass. If four or five friends are walking they always spread from the left of the path to the right. I made a couple of them jump when I ran passed them coming close.
The other place I've been running is an isolated path that I can access three blocks from my house. I can run for miles and not see a soul. Great for getting a great workout getting lost in your thoughts but someone will be killed there is my prediction. On some parts of the trail there are no houses that can be seen from the trail and plenty of woods on either side. I think the occasional women I see running there are foolish. Picture is the actual trail. Goes on for many miles. Use to be old railroad tracks that the county removed and put down cinder.

« Last post by obsidian on May 02, 2024, 05:52:59 PM »Obsidian- you are a smart guy. I urge you to read the case, as opposed to watching youtubers or reading short summaries.Not that I view Reuters as the bastion of truth. It's still controlled by the "Tribe".
The entire case is public. However, if you do want a short snippet which explains, see here:
https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/sec-seeking-2-billion-ripple-labs-chief-legal-officer-says-2024-03-25/#
"Torres ruled in July that the blockchain company's sale of XRP worth $728.9 million to hedge funds and other sophisticated buyers amounted to unlawful sales of unregistered securities."
It is beyond doubt that the judge ruled that these tokens ARE securities, and further that they were ILLEGALLY ISSUED.
As to what is happening to the decision that XRP issuers committed SEC violations by issuing illegal securities, I believe there will be a further trial on this later this year, unless of course these executives and the company admit liability, possibly agree to jail time, and pay Billions in punishment. So, if they settle, we are left with a very clear ruling, which was not appealed, that XRP was an illegally issued security. And if not settled, this will go to trail, risking an adverse finding that makes it entirely clear that the Howey test was clearly violated (not just by Ripple but by most alt coin issuers). That then still leaves, for now, the issue open as to where such illegally issued securities may be publicly traded (we can let Coinbase etc fight that one, and by the way there are far more than just securities laws being breached with such conduct which may also be enforced), but either way, these are all reasons why many with a legal background believe that ETFs of such assets are very unlikely to be approved (at least not unless there is legislative change).
Again, some possible upside for ETH if an EFT is eventually approved (although also quite a possibility of a downside due to disappointing investor demand), but either way, a lot at stake. The "safe bet" is to align with BTC. The riskier bet, is to hope somehow that things change in relation to the legal status of alts, and that this in turn leads to upside for you. For ETH, also be very weary, it can be infinitely diluted by alts to Eth - SOL, etc, which is also weighing on its demand as a desirable asset to hold long term.
But in your own link, you left out the part at the bottom:
While the SEC partly won the case, Torres dealt the regulator a high-profile setback when she ruled that XRP Ripple sold on public cryptocurrency exchanges did not meet the legal definition of a security.
Torres denied the SEC's request to repeal that ruling while the case is in progress. But the regulator may appeal once the judge decides its request for penalties.
^^^^^^^^
XRP sold to the general public on exchanges was not ruled to be a security. There were no contracts. The same will apply to ETH obviously. I signed no contracts when I mined or bought ETH. The speculation for me was no different than your speculation with BTC. Or someone who buys a baseball card. I also have put a lot more work and sweat equity to acquire ETH than you did with your BTC. But the bottom line is, the ETH I bought or mined was not a security based on the findings of the Ripple / XRP case. That's the precedent.
I will add that the SEC is of course completely corrupt. I know you are looking towards them for selfish, greedy reasons to pump your BTC bags at the expense of other token holders. You already stated that in this thread. So you want the SEC to fuck all other investors (when their stated mission is to protect investors) who don't hold BTC so you can make more money with BTC. Nice. Obviously I am not onboard with that. Not once have I said something like that. I have opined that I think smaller market cap tokens might pump more than larger caps like BTC or ETH. But I don't want to see anyone "lose" money, whichever tokens they are invested in. And I would not champion a corrupt entity like the SEC to go after projects that I am not invested in.
