I agree Will Clemente's in-person explanations suck! However, I would most likely much much worse than him since I have a noticeable accent and will struggle with coming up with words quickly and would probably be very nervous, lol However, Will Clemente's written reports are excellent! You can see read through the one on my post and he explains it in layman's terms [Will Clemente is very young compared to me, lol]
How big was the gap down? Btc looks fine, it went down a couple of hours ago to below $60K, but it's above $60K currently https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BITSTAMP
That's the problem with a futures market that closes but the btc market trades 24/7/365 How long was the futures market closed? If you want real-time btc price, go to that link on my previous post, always active price action
Btc was going down this afternoon, it even went below $60,00, I think around $59,400, I thought it was going to continue going down but some buyers stepped in and pushed btc back above $60K Heavy gap down doesn't really happen on the spot btc, I just see normal sell off, down $100, down $200, bounce a little, down again, down again, another bounce, ,just more sellers than buyers at the time
October aka as Uptober was very nice for bitcoin and cryptos November and December are being anticipated to be even better. Fingers crossed it doesn't go the opposite Shits about to get real starting tomorrow
The trial of the Australian who says he invented bitcoin has the crypto world glued By Jonathan Levin and Olga Kharif November 2, 202 https://www.smh.com.au/business/ban...s-the-crypto-world-glued-20211102-p59548.html Cryptocurrency enthusiasts may be disappointed if they’re expecting a three-week trial in Miami federal court to finally establish the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin. But curiosity seekers will nonetheless be drawn to watch Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, the self-described inventor of bitcoin, defend himself against claims that he swindled the estate of a deceased Florida man of its share of some $US65 billion ($86.4 billion) of the peer-to-peer currency and intellectual property related to blockchain technology worth billions of dollars more. The brother of Dave Kleiman, who died in 2013, alleges that the late computer scientist collaborated with Wright on the early development of bitcoin and that the estate is entitled to half the value of a cache of as many as 1.1 million bitcoins, valued at $US62,545 apiece as of October 29, believed to be held by Satoshi. Whether that stash can still be recovered is by no means guaranteed. Craig Wright claims to have invented Bitcoin. Credit:BBC News Some prominent cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and investors regard Wright as a fake and believe Satoshi’s enduring anonymity is part of the genius of bitcoin – a competitive advantage for an innovation that has drawn scrutiny and ire from countless governments. Wright has stood by his claim, even suing critics who have called him an impostor. Yet the Kleiman case isn’t principally about whether Wright is really Satoshi. At issue in the trial, which begins Monday (US time) with jury selection, is whether a business partnership existed between Wright and Kleiman before the latter’s death. Wright is definitely “an important early innovator in cryptocurrency, and is also rich from cryptocurrency,” said Aaron Brown, a crypto investor who also writes for Bloomberg Opinion. “Beyond that, his claims to be the main or only author of the original bitcoin white paper have little support.” Despite the scepticism, crypto fans will be following the trial for any clues. Satoshi speculation is a favourite hobby in the crypto community, and last month, even venture capitalist Peter Thiel joined in, speculating that the real Satoshi was on the same beach as him in Anguilla in February 2000. Whoever Satoshi is, he or she probably has access to enough bitcoin to dramatically sway the market. The Kleiman estate complaint against Wright was first filed almost three years ago, but the case has faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Emails in the court records show the men had a simpatico relationship – in one message, Wright called Kleiman his “best friend” – but Kleiman’s brother, Ira, will try to prove they had a business partnership. So far, that’s involved a reexamination of such events as a Thanksgiving dinner conversation in 2009. Ira Kleiman has testified that Dave told him over the holiday meal that he was developing something “bigger than Facebook,” before he scrawled out the now famous bitcoin logo: a B with two lines through it in the style of a money sign. The testimony of Wright himself could prove pivotal. Earlier in the litigation, the Kleiman estate accused Wright of “a sustained pattern of perjury, forged evidence, misleading filings, and obstruction.” Bloomberg
Seems like it could be seemingly-simple matter to establish the identity of the person. IIRC, the concept of bitcoin/blockchain was delivered in a white paper to some programming forum somewhere, yes? Well, that transmission had to have a record of the ip address it came from, assuming it was not through a VPN. So they could trace the address to the source location through the ISP that handles the user's internet connection, no?
