What will that man not say in order to win - will he perhaps pardon Bankman as well?

Honestly, as far as Ross is concerned, he was definitely sentenced to a sentence that is not appropriate (at least for me personally) for what he did. However, I think that Trump is already exaggerating a bit with all these crypto things, especially if we know what he thought about it before - and I personally don't think that he is turning into the new Saylor or something similar.

If he wants to win over everyone who invests in crypto, I advise him only one thing - let him put the tax on crypto at 1% and everyone will vote for him

I mean, it's technically not free as you are still paying transaction fees off of it  but yeah I have no idea how we have managed to get the few down all they way to 8. I have literally never seen anything like this since the Ordinals days. Blocks mined in hyperdrive or something? Or maybe someone's datacenter suddenly came online?

I don't think MixTum could have done more to make it more favorable - except maybe they offered to pay a fee for the incoming transaction, which would really be too much

I think that the matter with the fees is quite simple, and that the current fees are a very realistic reflection of the actual use of BTC in terms of transactions - regardless of the fact that we have a little less than 200k unconfirmed transactions. As for the number of blocks, it seems to me that there are more than usual if we look at an interval of 1 hour - if I counted correctly, even 7 blocks in the last hour.

I don't understand what the problem is, because BTT and this forum are ultimately forums that are basically the same because they are designed in a similar way to contain boards where users then start topics and discuss various things. Therefore, it is very strange to me that someone asks what to do on the forum - even more so considering that it comes from another forum.

@Churchillvv, you should specify more exactly what your problem is, because all you have to do is find a topic that interests you and start a discussion with other members.

Both former television hosts, Binance’s Yi He and Bitget’s Gracy Chen currently lead the world’s largest crypto exchanges by volume. In a blog post published on May 21, Gracy Chen, CEO of crypto exchange Bitget, detailed her journey leading an exchange that facilitates $4 billion in trading volume.

Tell your boss, Gracy Chen, that this way of promotion does not serve her credit or the company she represents. Unfortunately, you're just another BG shill, although you've changed your strategy a bit, so you don't mention your company in every post.

I can understand from your approach that you take sides easily even if you are less equipped to do so...

Since when did expressing a viewpoint (from a neutral and reputable platform like https://cointelegraph.com/news/meet-women-behind-world-largest-crypto-exchanges ) that does not suit your taste become a crime. Did everything you ever talked about not relate to something or someone or somewhere.

I'm just not one of those people who will turn my head the other way, write x posts a day and pretend that I don't see when someone uses dirty tactics to bring some miserable company which obviously has no money for normal promotion into the focus of discussion.

You claim that you have nothing to do with BG?

The biggest gain was experienced by Bitget, with an impressive +11% growth increase in web traffic in contrast to the negative trend, while the steepest decliner was KUCOIN with -39%, highlighting the volatile nature of user trust.

Often times I see CEXs like Binance, OKX, Bybit , Bitget and more offering traders extra tokens when they trade up to a particular trading volume

Long-term planning makes sense only with cryptocurrencies that have already proven themselves, everything else is actually a pump&dump scheme from which many come out with nothing. Many people have a hard time understanding that if they once made money on a coin, it may never be possible again, because it actually had a one-time purpose.

On the other hand, those who can afford to invest in Bitcoin have always profited so far, especially those who followed the cycles and invested when the price was at the bottom, and sold whenever a new ATH occurred. Of course, it is not easy to precisely detect the absolute bottom or ATH, but smart investors always buy when the price goes down and sell when they are satisfied with the profit when the price goes up.

In any case, any plan is better than none.

What can create conflict is knowing which user gives negative karma to another user, it is something that could cause problems and create a bad atmosphere in the forum. A few weeks ago the admin said he was working on a system to show a karma counter (positive and negative) for each post separately, that way we can know which posts are most interesting to the community. It is something that has not yet been implemented, but when the time comes it will be very useful to find out what is most interesting for users.

Not only which posts received the most +karma, but also those who received -karma. It will be especially useful to detect the abuse of karma, because currently there is a possibility that someone gives negative karma to a user for no reason at all, without the user notice it at all. I already wrote about it, by following someone's activity in a certain period it is possible to cancel every positive karma with a negative one without the user noticing it at all.

There is also no doubt that there is abuse of positive karma, because recently we had several users (all new accounts) who shill a certain service and someone gave them positive karma for classic shitposting - which means that they had a Senior+ rank that they used for that activity.

The sooner we get that feature, the better for everyone.

But because it hasn't happened yet and there is no agreement yet, we can only estimate.

You misunderstood me, the spot ETH ETFs are approved, they just haven't received permission to start trading yet. Of course, this is only a formality and it is only a question of the day when it will become fully operational. There should be no doubt that it will attract the interest of investors, because it does not matter to them whether they trade with BTC, ETH or something else as long as it brings them profit.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday approved key regulatory filings tied to ether ETFs, a historic milestone for the second-largest cryptocurrency. They are not, however, cleared to trade. Although the SEC approved the 19B-4 form that allows for the offering and listing of ETFs, it must still green light the funds' S-1 filings before investors can buy them.

You see, I didn't know that the laws were so favorable when it comes to tax, but 15% doesn't seem so bad considering the amount of tax on crypto that some other countries have.

Yeah, I agree.

Brazil was very crypto friendly until our President changed in 2023. As I said, crypto was tax free until 6k USD per month (which is a lot imo).

It's bad when one man has so much influence on everything that happens in the country - it's not that I have to brag about my president who is an old commie who lives in the past and doesn't even respect the constitution of the country he lives in - but luckily he doesn't have too much power so that is not too important.

Regarding taxes and other things related to crypto, I can say that I am satisfied, but that will change considering that I live in the EU, which has one center of power and imposes rules on everyone, especially the little ones who cannot defend themselves

It is sad that our money from taxes goes to a hole and we have basically zero return from it (no public education, no public health care, etc)... but that is how things in developing countries are...

I have all that, although health care is not completely free (you have to pay about 10 EUR per month) to be able to have all services for free, but the level of corruption is still high - in the past 8 years, as many as 30 ministers had to leave because investigations were launched against them - and the same party won again in the recent elections - it's hard to understand.
