What are the MOST significant dates marked in your Calendar…

July 28 - Operation Data-Blast (Stress-test)

Someone should make a calendar site and users would pay in BSV to subscribe and be notified.

I like that idea BitProof. Or, a BSV Calendar On-Chain where users can post AND vote for the most significant dates.

I don't have a calendar

That will solve the iru 🐸's problem of "not having a calendar" :P

There is something in the works, but doesn't look easy to use right now for an ordinary user: http://www.calendarsv.com/ (https://bsvdevs.com/index.php/detail/calendarsv)

I'd add the tether shitshow somewhere in there, because it certainly will affect the entire market. I forget what the next date for NYAG proceedings is, but it's fairly soon.

What about the CopyWright day?

@Rafael. The copyright for the pseudonym has already happened. What am I missing?

The tether shitshow will probably not affect much because it's already factored into the market, if it was likely to fall anytime soon, you would know already that something was up by looking at BTCUSD price. It looks like the usual bullrun correction atm.

Do you believe the "bull runs" are organic? Or do you think the tether printing machine makes fake dollers to drive the price up?

It's been factored into the market for years now, to the point people in BTC ignore this and play ostrich in sand. Doesn't make it any less of a shitshow. The reality is that the market is completely manipulated and that defeats any purpose of analysis.

what do you think would be happening if tether was about to fall? massive cash out by the people behind it. BTCUSD massive crash, followed by 0 value tether

a crash way beyond any reasonable bullrun correction.

I'm not saying it's crashing tomorrow, I'm saying it's a ticking timebomb that the market has not reflected at all in any price movements for years (it's manipulated). And yes, your description of events when it comes down seems somewhat accurate.

Normal markets are regulated. Crypto is largely not. Do you think I could start a central bank and print USD? t's really naive to compare world financial markets with HUGE liquidity, to the VERY THIN crypto market.

I think it has survived largely because regulation is slow to creep up. They never had to deal with the NYAG up to now, because they kept shifting their HQ to new havens. But now it's hitting the fan in a way they haven't been up against before.

Every single market is manipulated by people with more influence. More money = more influence. Doesn't mean they can dictate exactly what the market does, that is impossible. People have a misconception about what manipulation does to the market.

Watch the forex and stck markts,they're way more manipulated.Crypto markts react to support and resistance by the millimeter,forex on the other hand often ignores support/resistance in a premeditated and organized way to confuse and stop out retail traders

Tether might be a ticking time bomb but it has utility in the current infrastructure and is not 100% a scam.That is why and how it has survived for so long. I do not defend tether, I defend the reality vs misconceptions. BTC/BCH are a ticking time bomb too

To thnk regulated markts are not manipulated or less manipulated because theyre regulated is to be naive.If anything they're more manipulated.Way more narratives,way more idea planting by media,way more markt moves that catch people out.More people to fool

Believe me, I've been dissecting markets for over 10 years now. Legal participants are the ones who most manipulate the markets. Banks, brokers, billionaire investors. Doesn't matter if it's regulated or not. Money speaks.

The "abundance" (narrative, people, media) you talk about in financial markets is precisely the reason it is less easy to sway by a single actor. Comparatively crypto has less narratives, ideas, people and is easier to sway.

It's all a matter of scale,all the markts have competition adjusted to the scale of the markt.

There's a natural balance that can't be controlled by the competitors involved. If they overstep they will show their intentions too much and will get trampled by someone with more money.

For me, oversteps have happened intentions have been made very clear! BTC pumps at each minting of tethers. Heavily leveraged too. The other day they accidentally minted 5 billion (with a B) before burning them. Please tell me more about how they are legit

You are not the one competing with money. Just observe the markets, it will all unfold in time.

Not everything has the meaning that you think it has. The tether mints mean more than just, "They're pumping BTC". Trust me.

That you can accidentally forget a comma and mint 5 billion. Sure they are backed by USD.

NOT!!!!

Okay, I give up.

Put your money into tether when you're looking for stability. Stay on tether exchanges. It's a good stable coin in these times of uncertainty.

They can print 5 billion tomorrow and stay afloat.

The times are only of uncertainty if you cannot read the signs that the markets/platforms/individuals/entities give you. A strong mind is required to constantly fight the fear campaigns and to constantly question yourself and your beliefs.

I am not fighting an ego battle, I just enjoy interesting conversations and curiosity and desire to participate and learn is what drives me here.

I do too like good conversations! I talked about Tether printing 5 billion then burning it. I am still waiting for your explanation on that. Do you think they had 5 billion usd to back it?

Let us look at this very problem: Print out what they want, no oversight from third party. Commas that affect the market at large. They're DEF not backed dollar to USDT since they puked out 5 bil. I don't know how you don't see a massive red flag there.

Like everyone else I can only assume that someone mistyped the amount or some system bugged out.It does not inspire confidence on tether obviously. They did not use the mistakenly minted tethers though and quickly burned them.Keeping only the "fair" amount

Did it trigger some kind of investigation? Probably.

There's much more happening behind the curtains than we know, that I am sure of.

I see mny redflags.Why do you think they're expnding to a lot of diffrent blockchns?Probbly to mke it hrder for cpable entities to take thm down. It will probbly happn,just not today.When it gets close to happning, you will probbly be able to see the signs

Okay, fair I could see the possibility of a gradual downfall. But how does expanding to other blockchains help them? They're currently being solicited by the NYAG. They DGAF about what blockchains they're on.

You don't get it: Tether has a CEO, public people associated. If they go to jail what do you think happens? Further, did you hear about Liberty Reserve and what happened to it? Far more decentralized than tether today, taken down by USgovt across world

Binance is no testament of respectability. They will also go down! CZ will end in jail. They will have to comply "backward" with KYC to all clients they have touched in USA. If not they are in breaking US law.

Do you thnk the NYAG has the capbility to stop every single node in the world associated with every blockchain?no..It would need a very coordinated effort throughout the wrld.Every government and entity in cooperation.It tkes a huge amnt of effort and time

Information gathering, plan creation, protocols in place, making sure regulation and law are followed. We're very far from that point.

Then there's the agreement between entities involved with the infrastructure.Do you not think that for example, binance and all other exchanges have some kind of agreement with whoever is involved in the management of tether?Do they not want it to be used?

Is it not in their best interest to keep some decent level of confidence and integrity?

Who keeps tether in check? Entities involved, by supporting it's use. Tether has competition, if they overstep, they will lose to another stablecoin.

I am aware. Even more reason for them to accept any consequences from any proven crimes and to comply with law and regulation and demands from their jurisdiction.

If they know they will be going to jail, do you not think that they will take some action in the markets associated with their assets before it is publicly known?

I honestly don't know how they will react with their own assets. I don't know what assets they have.

I agree, but for now they want to keep their businesses intact so nothing will happen until that is no longer true.
