  • news accompanied by another crypto scam
  • price faked via >"$10b" of dubious stablecoin pseudodollars created out of thin air
  • no liquidity, trading super thin (even more pumpable)
  • public still not buying in
  • (yet)
  • lol

nothing has changed in my last few posts on the subject https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/

Those top players represent a mere 0.01% of all bitcoin holders and yet they control 27% of the digital currency, the Wall Street Journal reported. That compares to the old-fashion dollar, where the top 1% controlled 30% of total U.S. household wealth, according to Federal Reserve data.

This seems to have been overshadowed by election news. For context, this area is in the downtown business core and is perpetually busy with foot traffic.

bonus HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42014013 :

> For online service.. a $80 purchase costs at least $2.00. For a online purchase for computer hardware I paid over $45 for a $2k purchase. BTC fails hard in the real world as far as I'm concerned. The little I have left from mining while the sun was up, I'll use for just silly purchases online. > What you're missing is that it costs the same $2.00 to transfer $1T-worth of bitcoin. Try that with anything else that offers final settlement.

Looking for suggestions (infosec.pub)

Hi,

For reasons too absurd to explain, this Wednesday I'm invited to a virtual "coffee break" with the speaker of one of Spain's cryptoexchanges, https://bit2me.com/. The event is organized by Cinco Días, one of the main economic newspapers in the country.

I'm looking for a list of potential questions I might ask if I have the chance. I already have the basics ("how's this different to a tulip", "what super-legitimate uses, apart from paying for drugs, hitmen, sex trafficking, launder money, evade taxes and inflate bubbles", "what about the electricity usage", etc), and given that BBVA (Spain's second largest bank) and Telefonica (Spain's main telco) are investing money, I also want to ask how they're handling the child porn they have in their servers.

If anyone has more suggestions, I'm all ears.
