    Congress calls for a bill to ban all cryptocurrency

    Bitcoin dominance is now 57.8%, nearing December2017 bull run highs of Approx 60%.

    Posted: 09 May 2019 09:42 PM PDT

    Interested to see if 60% bitcoin dominance is also some sort of resistance. I guess that is USD 6400 really is a larger resistance than previous levels, we may be trading in an alt season zone. Also possible, total capitulation of alts, even the most business oriented ones with working projects. What is next?

    Reuters about Binance hack (full analysis by Coinfirm)

    According to blockchain analytics company Coinfirm, the hackers have moved the stolen bitcoin through several digital wallets, with almost all the coins now sitting in seven digital addresses. Although the movement of cryptocurrencies can be traced, the identity and location of the hackers or owners of the wallets holding the stolen coins is unknown, Coinfirm said.

    Binance Hacker Consolidates Stolen Bitcoin to Seven Addresses

    Anyone else find the timing of the Facebook crypto ad ban and then the lifting of the ban peculiar?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 11:18 PM PDT

    I find it odd how a lot of the big industry names were generating FUD and were making moves against crypto at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018. Now a lot of the same names are reversing their decisions and generating positive news for crypto in general. Odd to say the least.

    They Can't Stop the Revolution

    In response to Rep. Sherman calling for the outright BAN of Cryptocurrenices (not like it'll happen anyways), let's Donate to or Tip our current top Pro-Crypto Candidates/Congress Members.

    -Tulsi Gabbard -Andrew Yang

    Doesn't matter the amount. Could be .50 cents worth of Crypto. Could be 5 dollars worth. Let's make it known we support those who support us and the Technological Revolution towards a better system.

    (If there are any other Pro-Crypto candidates that you know of, let me know and I'll update the list.)

    Connecting the dots with the Binance "hack"

    Posted: 09 May 2019 01:30 PM PDT

    Binance is lying outright or by omission. Not ONE person has come out and demonstrated their account was one of the ones that was compromised. The hacker would have had to bypass email authentication, sign in, two-factor authentication, and API keys for enough accounts to get 7,000 bitcoin. There are no unusual trades during this period which would allow a hacker to trade bitcoin out of user wallets into their own within the exchange in order to bypass 2FA/email withdraws on some accounts. If it was really the case thousands of accounts were compromised at least one person would have come out publicly about their account. The way I see it there are three options. 1) this hack didn't happen and its an excuse to lock withdraws 2) it was an inside job from Binance staff member(s) 3) the entire exchange has fatal bugs in the base code that were exploited.

    It is highly suspicious that Binance initially claimed they were doing emergency maintenance, then admitted to being hacked and that they would recoup all losses out of pocket without taking the time to investigate this hack AT ALL. Why would they recoup losses out of pocket if it was the users fault? It is absolutely not a sustainable business practice and it is rife for abuse. Not to mention, the timing of this all occurring as Tether and Bitfinex are being indicted by the NY AG and a bank run is occurring on the Bitfinex exchange. Tether was shown to only be ~75% backed. Remember, Binance is/was the largest holder of tether, and just a day or two before the "hack" they moved ~740M through thousands of accounts/transactions. Now the Binance Tether coldwallet has only ~600M tether. Where did the other 140M go? The move was structured like a blend. Also, anecdotally, I am notcing a severe uptick in Binance astroturfing.
