biz give me a hint.
XOR is traded @MXC but people are unable to withdraw the funds because they are still "testing" the project. Anyway -The question is:
Once they unlock withdrawing a major arbitrage opportunity will show up since XOR is traded currently for $19,90 a piece and on unispwap its at $30.17!
Is it worth the gamble?
Let me know!

These were the principles that Bitcoin was constructed with and designed to honor. While its inherent technology stays true to this nature (mining aside), the infrastructure that has been built up around it is flawed by design and sacrifices a good number of strengths and freedoms. Most notably are the many vulnerable points of exchange run by central authorities on trust where funds are at risk to be frozen or stolen, KYC (know your customer) policies, and the traceability, restrictions, and risks that come from these two points.

Shortly after BTC found a value that could be directly pegged to the USD (and with the USD, every global currency), a number of exchanges offering trade between the two opened for business. The first of these exchanges was the infamous Mt. Gox which implemented KYC policies by 2011 before exit scamming in early 2014. KYC policies were initially introduced to comply with the many regulations regarding the exchange of various fiat currencies for crypto in addition to demanding a deeper sense of customer accountability. Up until the point that they were introduced, the only sure way it would have been possible to trace specific addresses is if the recipient publicly disclosed their wallet address. KYC brought a considerably more advanced form of traceability with it. In addition to e-mail addresses and bank accounts, everything from names, addresses, full ID info, and pictures of each and every customer became tethered to their respective deposit and withdrawal history. Though somewhat convoluted with the nature of exchange wallets, there are patterns that can be followed and traced.

As BTC continued to grow, so did the number of its forks and competing cryptocurrencies pegged to its value in satoshis. The forks grew to be numerous and with them, the number of centralized C2C exchanges where you could trade them for BTC. Like the fiat-to-crypto exchange points before them, KYC was implemented on numerous C2C exchanges as well.

Centralized exchanges of all sorts are perhaps the weakest link in entire cryptocurrency space. They have repeatedly proven to be weak in terms of security. This year alone, the following exchanges have been compromised: Binance, Bithumb, Coinbene, Coinbin, Cryptopia, and QuadrigaCX. What’s worse, they’ve sacrificed many of the core principles of the cypherpunks that built Bitcoin in the first place.

How can crypto be censorship-resistant and immutable if exchanges can decide to freeze funds or put a certain wallet into maintenance at whim? How can it be private if every account has every bit of trade, deposit, and withdrawal history it has done tethered to its name? How can it be anonymous at-will if full documentation is demanded, sometimes as a ransom for frozen funds? How can it be secure when billions of dollars have been hijacked from weak security? It could be argued that these exchanges are the antithesis of the cypherpunks: an easily-exploitable honeypot of funds and user data with a central authority.

How come the differences between 2018 and 2008 in technology, business, culture etc. are basically nothing in comparison to differences between:

>1990 and 2000
>1980 and 1990
>1970 and 1980
etc.

Did we reach the peak? Seems like nothing is moving as drastically as before. Or did the 2008 recession stall everything?

I hope you all realise all the shills right now are bottom selling faggots that are trying to buy back in by spreading misinformation about ETF being rejected.

The actual CBOE ETF is August, which is when we will pump. The ruseman are trying to push the price down because so they can buy back in after being rekt this week.

Sooner or later an exchange will fuck you over, guaranteed. Unless you're a normie with 0.1 BTC on Coinbase, you should eventually get one. Besides, it's cyberpunk as fuck.
