Do you have any good sources you recommend on the BTC-e "owner" and his story so far? I would like to read more about it.

You are talking about Bitfinex, and using 24-hour GDAX volume to support your argument. Bitfinex has traded 1 trillion (not billion) dollars in volume. How did a hacked exchange with no USD deposit or withdrawal method did it? Answer: was

We also have some proof of this belief now. Wells Fargo stopped Wires to Tether on March 30, 2017 and Taiwanese banks stopped all international wires from Tether on April 18, 2017. Tether has since issued 600 mill new tokens. Source: http

0.25% rates are only for plebs and noobs. There are whale volume discounts available on almost every exchange. Mid-level whales can get 0% rate for trading over certain number of Bitcoins. Back in 2013-14 you could even get NEGATIVE rates

Taker fees are significantly discounted for higher volume traders, because they bring smaller traders to an exchange. I know two mid-sized whales who have almost 0% rate as long as they trade certain number of BTC a month.

I can confirm: my 2FA has been hacked on Coinbase. My Social Security number + DOB are out on the internet, and it makes it trivially easy to hack companies with poor security protocols like Coinbase, Authy, AT&T, TMobile, Comcast, Yah

Bugs. I have discovered two bugs personally, reported them to Coinbase, and those are still unresolved. For context, I reported couple of bugs to MtGox back in the day, and even MtGox fixed them in under a month which is more than what I c

Read this lawsuit: Tether only has $50 mill and their wires have been frozen by Wells Fargo since March 2017. So the remaining $600 mill tokens are backed by nothing. http://article78againstnydfs.com/docs/317-cv-01882-

Stolen Tethers were transferred to a known Bitfinex Exchange deposit address. The hackers bought Bitcoins within an hour and took off with their loot. Reversing Tether tx does nothing to recover those Bitcoins.

iFinex acquired an ICO called "Tether" that no one cared about. I can help you buy 1 year old ICO for peanuts. There is a letter signed by iFinex CEO that he owns both Bitfinex and Tether: http://article78againstnydfs

No one is going to deposit 600 mill in a hacked exchange via Tether crypto-Hawala using Taiwanese shell bank accounts. People with real money would instead wire the funds to Gemini or ItBit or even a terribly managed company like Coinbase.

Bitfinex got hacked for 119,756 BTC last year, and Tether got hacked for $30 mil today. Both are owned by iFinex LTD, and had the same CEO till earlier this year. Total amount they have lost comes out to $1 Billion. How are you still claimi

They just got hacked for $30 mil. Pretty safe to say they are in the red at this time.

Tell your friends they should shutdown the company immediately to avoid prison time. Using USD to back any token or digital asset 1:1 is a serious crime as demonstrated by Liberty Reserve.

Ripple is a scam and Jed McCaleb has been dumping thousands of Ripples a day since forever. You shouldn't encourage new users to buy Ripples.

Unless the address in question was an Exchange deposit address. In that case hacker has purchased $30mm worth of Bitcoins in a matter of hours and moved them out immediately without needing to move Tether anywhere.

Tether patch invalidates the root transaction, so child transactions don't matter. Check it out on Github.

Yeah I hate these "Bitcoin is happening in (Insert African/Latin Country here)" type of remarks. For Bitcoin to succeed, it needs to conquer the US market adoption and it is not even close to doing that. All price gains are
