Tether releases statement on USDT drop: "We would like to reiterate that although markets have shown temporary fluctuations in price, all USDT in circulation are sufficiently backed by U.S. dollars (USD) and that assets have always exceeded liabilities."
https://www.coindesk.com/price-of-tether-stablecoin-tanks-to-18-month-low/
Preston Byrne @prestonjbyrne
This language doesn't actually say that the assets are 100% dollar-backed. It simply says "sufficiently backed" and "assets exceed liabilities." Leaving open the possibility that part of the "assets" backing USDT are marked-to-market, illiquid crypto holdings.

Another coin that signaled, a new bull trend (6HR) and quickly got into accumulation mode is $ICX, you can't really get a better chance to enter a relative-safe trade.
And always remember the three most important things:
- Zoom out
- Work on your patience.
- Work hard, more than anything else on your risk management strategy.

So if everybody just buys Btc/alts with usdt,who loses? There’s no such thing as free money, unless you’re withdrawing $dig from livecoin that is. This is not a rhetorical question btw, trying to analyze the ramifications here. Imo the integrity of the value would be damaged.

The top five stories of the weekend in five sentences or less. No BS. No Bias. https://aroundtheblock.news/
- Nouriel Roubini and Vitalik face-off: debate coming soon?
Following Roubini’s accusations and Twitter tirade against Vitalik Buterin, he posted that he would be “happy to have a live debate the Ethereum founder,” on the condition that they both agree on a moderator who should not be a “biased shill,” and specifically not Forbes contributor Laura Shin. Buterin responded, nominating Kevin Pham: “Can’t get more fair than someone equally 100% biased against both of us!”
- Tether trouble: millions of USDT exit Bitfinex, stablecoin falls below $0.90
Bitfinex had a rough week: a pseudonymous author claimed they were “insolvent,” millions of tethers (USDT) were seen exiting Bitfinex, fiat deposits and withdrawals were frozen, and the trade value of USDT fell below 90 cents. The value of USDT has been stabilizing since and the exchange has released a blog post denying the insolvency rumours claimed in a Medium post that has since been taken down.
“Bitfinex is not insolvent, and a constant stream of Medium articles claiming otherwise is not going to change this,” they wrote. As for the fiat freeze, they said there are still complications but they are doing their best to minimize waiting times.
- SEC comes after another ICO, which falsely claimed it had SEC approval
In a release, the SEC said it “has obtained an emergency court order halting a planned initial coin offering,” as well as any ongoing pre-ICO sales by a company called Blockvest, which created the token BLV. According to the release, the company falsely claimed to be approved by the SEC.
“Blockvest and Ringgold, who also goes by the name Rasool Abdul Rahim El, were using the SEC seal without permission, a violation of federal law, and falsely claiming their crypto fund was ‘licensed and regulated.’ The complaint also alleges Ringgold promoted the ICO with a fake agency he created called the ‘Blockchain Exchange Commission,’ using a graphic similar to the SEC’s seal and the same address as SEC headquarters.”
- LTC founder Charlie Lee interested in Monero, may “eventually have to step away from Litecoin”
In an interview with cryptocurrency prime dealer SFOX, Litecoin founder Charlie Lee said: “Bitcoin is obviously the soundest form of money around, and Litecoin, I would say, is the second soundest. Another project that I’m interested in as Monero: I think a bit of privacy and fungibility is something that’s missing from Bitcoin and Litecoin, and it’s very much needed.”
“Obviously, Litecoin is more centralized than Bitcoin. If anyone wants to target Litecoin, they could attack me. That’s something that definitely could be improved. So I think that moving forward, I’ll eventually have to step away from Litecoin”.
- Confirmed: Coinbase’s crypto index fund is closing down
A Coinbase spokesperson has reportedly confirmed that the cryptocurrency exchange is shutting down the Coinbase Index Fund by the end of October, four months since it went live, according to a CoinDesk article.
“After assessing demand from retail, accredited and institutional investors, Coinbase has decided to shut down Coinbase Index Fund. We will focus on providing diversified exposure to all investors through Coinbase Bundle,” the spokesperson said.
Adam Gambrell
Update: I didn’t phrase this question correctly. Compared to a Bank of America savings account, how much higher is the risk of your wealth being stored in BTC?
Original: What do you consider to be a safe percentage of your wealth to be held in crypto as opposed to banks and/or other investments?
It all depends on your overall wealth, but unless you’re a millionaire, I’d say less than 10%.
Evan Skev
The millionaire wants to preserve wealth so keeps a much lower percentage of her portfolio in speculative investments
The working man is much more gambler
Adam Gambrell
Yes, agreed. I understand investment risk management. I’m more interested in what level of risk do people consider crypto.
Ch Ris Tor Res
5 or 10%
Matt Dittman
I concur, less than 10%. This is for initial investment... Obviously if what you bought moons, it will grow higher than that.
Sheldon Dearr
A year ago I said 15%, I now have more crypto than anything except my 401k. The dollar and American stock markets are in trouble, act accordingly
Ash Roulston
Here's the thing.
If you have $10 to your name and ya play the lotto, it's high risk but fuck it, that $10 is gonna be gone anyway.
If you have $10, $100, whatever, you may as well chase a moonshot because otherwise it'll be gone anyway. At least it's better odds than the lotto.
When you say "% of you wealth", that's relative and idealistic.
If you don't have a few thousand dollars minimum, it's not even worth the costs associated with a retirement account or brokerage account.
I've been there. When I started in crypto, I was pretty much there.
Peter Dimeglio
Let tether crumble to 0. Look at all the money that poured into btc and even Eth. You want a bull run let tether go to 0. Either cash out or buy btc and Eth.
Scott Riley
If tether dies we're done for years.
Eric Mioducki
Makes zero sense. Their replacements are already lined up, regulated and approved...
Peter Dimeglio
Why? So people can’t hide out and manipulate the market? Give me a break.
Scott Riley
I think it would obliterate what's left of the lay person's trust. I've never trusted it, but I've never wanted it blown up.
Ryan Curry
There are tons of exchanges putting in fiat gateways. Also there are no less than 3 other stable coins pegged to USD. Tether was a place holder until something better came along. The market doesn't need it.
Raymir Boekhoudt
If tether dies, there's still TUSD, DAI, BitUSD, nUSD, and a bunch more...
Ayndrw Maysawn
If tether crumbles, the company tether will just buy their debt that they sold to you for $1 for pennies on the dollar. Easiest profit ever
Chris Clary
I don't post often here but it looks like the run is about to begin. About to deploy massive capital into XRP, XLM, ETH personally. Tether scare is attended to scare people imo. In the end it will force people out of USDT and back into the market leading to increase in prices. I am actively watching on the sidelines and only have been day trading since February after the run was over but as of now the tether boom broke a major trend line that has been in control for some ...time. Shorts record high again due to FUD. Futures market looks primed for a rip up. The tape has already maxed out on the downside I might buy in the next hour or next day but we are close to some real shake and bake action. Were sitting on the close support. If this holds I think it's a very good sign. If we break though futures close I will withdraw my buy orders.
Brick Coolins
Shorts aren't even close to being at a record high??
Brick Coolins
Eth especially, ETH shorts have been getting OUT... ETH is still way stacked to the long side
Mateusz Bogacki
One of my favorite traders and market analytics, Goerge Saber, gives a very interesting perspective on the latest market movements.
"Bitcoin’s previous range and price action created somewhat of an imbalance on OTC markets. Institutions and the race for new institutional products is diminishing current supply.
Big players couldn’t accumulate enough Bitcoin on OTC markets, nor did they want to create a major buying frenzy by purchasing BTC on spot exchanges, so they had to short swaps first.
Why not allow the token to range trade and accumulate the range?
Inefficiency and the last series of trading ranges accompanied by minor breakouts resulted in a price channel from $6,000 to $6,800. It was much more efficient to execute a big short first thus leveraging existing holdings to decrease market price in order to accumulate at lower prices without creating a buying frenzy."
Jason Hyungchul Kang
Volume is still shit, no capitulation event. Bear market will continue for a while until the fundamentals start catching up to the price. Not to say we won’t have a nice pump, but that $20k level is at least a few years away in my opinion. 2020-2021 at the very least. Not FUD just being #real
Briley Heart
I agree! The market is in a bearish trend and has been the entire year. Who knows when it will reverse. Even once major exchanges here in the USA goes live, it’s still going to be a slow up climb being that institutional investors would rather pump and dump than to properly invest.
Kamonie Williams
Too much money coming into crypto. Should def hit 20k before 2020.
TD ameritrade, Fidelity, New york stock exchange, nasdaq, Etf. So you think billion and trillion dollar companies are going to wait until 2020 to begin buying crypto? Just for them to have enough to sell their custoners they need to be buying it like right now. The demand will sky rocket.
K Eric Boger
I tend to agree although i feel it could be but doesnt have to be bearish for as long as you said. I wouldnt be surprised if we get another bull mania run in as little as one year from now. Thats optimistic but i say it based on past mania cycles. They were all 2 to 3 years like you say, but then i try factor in all of the changes in investors and its popularity which i suspect may shorten the cycle to welcome bulls back a little less than the 2 to3/4 year cycles. In the meantime I will be 65/35 altcoins (top 50 mostly top 20) and 35 percent bitcoin. This is bc i want a chance to gain btc without putting more fiat in it. When btc starts to go manic again, I will move back into 100 percent btc. After the peak and i sell at the top, I will invest it into dips in alts which will parabollically peak 1 to 4 weeks after btc. That my friends is a double come up. Also, along the way I will short my positions after big gains in order to gain coin and take advantage of fibbonacci retracement levels. Good luck to all you!
Seth McGathey
Mentioned this in another group when someone was asking about price differences from exchange to exchange during this recent BTC volatility. Thought i would share it here for anyone who might still have questions on why exchanges prices are not always similar.
Exchanges are not connected to some sort of centralized price network. Each exchange trades coins at whatever rate the people on the exchange are willing to. Just like I could meet you in an alley and say, I will pay you $10,000 for 1 BTC.
The guy in the next alley might be paying $1000 for 1 BTC.
The going price in my alley is $10,000 and the going price in his alley is $1000. Now, if I find out the guy in the next alley is paying $1000, I will most likely say I want to pay $1000, and whoever I am buying it from can either refuse to sell or sell it at that rate, or else I will go to the other alley. In the same way the seller in the other alley might try to come to my alley to sell his BTC when he hears that the going price is so much higher.
Exchanges are the same. They are independent, and the prices change independently based on which people are in that “alley” and what prices they are willing to buy/sell at. They often end up at similar prices simply because the people in my alley can see what the going rate is in all the other alleys. But in times of quick price changes, the buyers and sellers do not have time to adjust to the going rate in other exchanges/alleys. So the price might range more.
(This is where arbitration comes in. When people buy a coin on a change where it is lower than on other exchanges, then quickly sell it for more on another exchange before the prices balance out again).
Michael Rainwater
And in this case - it's even bigger of a spread because people are looking at USDT/BTC pairs on exchanges like Bitfinex compared to USD/BTC pairs on exchanges without USDT such as Coinbase

Sybil attacks...
by vinelife420
So I'm kinda of scared to ask this question because I don't know how Aragon's platform can deal with it, but I will anyway.
How will Aragon prevent Sybil attacks?
I know this is a potential problem for a lot of crypto projects, but because of the financial responsibility a DAO can hold, I find it to be a bigger potential problem with Aragon. Obviously if the same entity assumes many identities within a DAO, a lot of bad things can happen such as draining funds with majority votes, issuing tokens, etc.
Any thoughts on this?
Lightcoin
There's a good discussion in the forum about this:
https://forum.aragon.org/t/fiduciary-agreements-and-minority-passive-stakeholder-protections-for-daos/184/4
TL;DR we can use collateral + the Aragon Network court to ensure that proposals are aligned with the interests of a DAO's stakeholders.

How do I unstake my EOS so I can transfer it to binance?
by Aceturn
Newbie here, I'm using the greymass wallet and I want to get my EOS onto binance. Only a small fraction of my EOS is liquid and the rest is staked to self. What does this mean and is it possible to withdraw the entire amount?
besthingsinliferfree
Just beware: You can't unstake it all because you need enough CPU and bandwidth to send your transaction.

Go to "Update your stake". Do a little subtraction and change the numbers you have staked in CPU or bandwidth.
Wait 72 hours and they will be released.

by areyouokaywiththat
I find it difficult to differentiate between BPs performances on the main net. I would like to know some of your favorite BPs and reason why I should vote for them.
iPSCRISPR
EOSnewyork because they were one of the first to announce BP candidacy (back in Dec. 2017) which means they had to figure things out on their own. They were also an integral part in bringing the community together and spreading the word with their meetups. They have developed several useful tools including eosrp.io. They're transparent and are involved in every aspect of EOS; technical, outreach, governance, communication, and innovation. They have built an impressive reputation and are looked at as an example not only by most other BPs, but almost everyone in the community. Also they take a strong and early stance on developing EOS issues and on my count are almost always right or at least have a convincing position. Simply put they do things the right way!
Steve100k
I like LiquidEOS, first off I like geographical diversity and they are Israel based and there aren't many BP's in that region. They are very active in lots of different areas for instance working on cross-chain solutions with BancorX, providing tools for BPs, working on increasing the level of communication between BPs in the East and West.
Obviously DYOR but they would be a good BP to start with...you can vote for 21!
Katomm
Greymass, because of their wallet. (when rename?)
danieldcd
Cypherglass, creating lots of unique incentives to bring positive change to EOS. HKEOS, clean, understated, no nonsense block producer who played an integral role in the mainnet launch and perhaps well positioned to be a bridge between the western and eastern communities.
Tsrdrum
Cyperglass and Greymass and Detroit EOS are my favorites. EOS Rio has impressive CPU performance numbers.

Can shut CDP be reopened?
by ensdomains
jaust1
No. If you ever plan on using a CDP again it would be better to just wipe the debt and keep it active. As long as there is no "Stability Debt," or outstanding loan, it doesn't cost anything to keep it open. However, closing it costs gas, and opening a new one will cost gas.

EasyCDP fees
by Mushoz
Hello all. I would like to open a small CDP and was planning to use EasyCDP since the ease of use and it is permitted in my country of residence. However, I was wondering if the fees that are charged via EasyCDP are higher than the ones you pay when opening a CDP manually via the Maker interface. Thank you very much in advance for the information
jaust1
I'm spit balling here because I haven't used EasyCDP, but knowing that they bundle multiple function calls into one transaction implies you will save gas.
caseyavera
It's definitely cheaper on the original site compared to easycdp, speaking from experience. Unfortunately I can't find the fees easycdp charges but it's quite high if I remember correctly, like over 5%.

Contract Vulnerability Patch
EOS Cafe Block
A vulnerability has been discovered in multiple contracts using notifications from other contracts. All parameters from notifications need to be explicitly checked as checking only contract name and action name is not sufficient.
Any contract relying on transfer notifications from eosio.token should add this check immediately:
if (transfer.to != _self) return;
If you execute business logic on only incoming transfers, but reuse transfer action for both incoming and outgoing transfers, please use:
if (transfer.from == _self || transfer.to != _self ) return;
Note: This is a contract-level vulnerability and not a system vulnerability. Checks mentioned in this article are also seen in example code from B1 here:
Update: EOS Bet and many other contracts have patched this vulnerability in their contracts. Be sure to share the patch with any developers who may still be unaware.

What is CPU? What is RAM? And How Does the EOS blockchain Utilize These Resources?
EOS Asia
The EOSIO software is a sophisticated platform that serves as an operating system on which apps can be built. The brilliance of the software is its ability to scale horizontally and vertically, which means that sometime in the near future, EOS based blockchain(s) will be able to process millions of transactions per second. Another benefit of the software is that it charges no user fees, making it a desirable platform for developers and users alike. There is no doubt about it, EOS is a game changer! BUT, because the EOSIO software is novel in the blockchain world, there are key aspects of EOS that do not quite work in a traditional way, or do not line up with classical tech definitions. One of the aspects that make the EOSIO software unique is the way that CPU and RAM are used on the EOS blockchain.
IF YOU’RE IN A RUSH, JUST READ THIS: THE TRAIN METAPHOR
If the EOS blockchain was a train, CPU, RAM, and bandwidth could be explained in the following way:
Bandwidth would be the available seats in each train leaving and entering the blockchain. Your chair will always be reserved, and if u need it, it will be yours. BUT, if no one is on the train, you could lay across a bunch of chairs because they are free! So bandwidth is a way to make sure you have somewhere to sit when the train leaves.
Opening #DeFi
Brendan Forster
New Members, New Membership Structure
#DeFi was created as a shared community for projects developing open source financial primitives. We saw an overlap in the problems that decentralized finance protocols were trying to solve and thought there would be no better way to tackle them then by forming an open community of like-minded projects.
Together, we propose the following core principles of the #DeFi movement:
Interoperability and Open Source — Members of DeFi take interoperability into account when building their projects. This helps strengthen the compounding effects of all our projects as a whole. Open sourcing helps us reach this goal by allowing us to collectively understand how all of our products can be woven together on a technical level.
Accessibility and Financial Inclusion — We strive to create a financial system that is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. We believe in a world where value flows freely, regardless of one’s geographic location.
Financial Transparency — We believe that financial services should not be built in opaque silos, but rather that market-level information should be transparent to all participants while still preserving individual privacy.
By putting a team effort behind these shared principles, we amplify our message and onboard new developers, users, and community members to our shared vision for a better financial system.
