Topic: CME Group targets bitcoin. If you saw this guy would you punch him in the face? (Read 783 times)

His statement is actually an hate speech and i think anyone that loves btc would really hate him for that, but they are all entitled to their own opinion and these guys might actually be making waves because if you look at the time this post was dropped, although i don’t know if it was when he made the comment, but that was when bitcoin started dumping, and they might have been the whales that we are talking about.

While they are benefiting from the pump, they are still crashing it to control it to an extent, but they would not be able to do this for too long because the more they manipulate the market, the more the value of bitcoin will keep increasing which will get to a point where they would not have such money to do so again.

No need to badmouth this guy. Even if he want, he won't be able to "tame" Bitcoin. After all, Bitcoin is a decentralized asset and there is nothing that Mr. Melamed do about it. His statements are just wishful thinking rather than realistic projections. And I still have a soft corner for CME, due to their decision to allow Bitcoin futures in their platform. Stupid statements like this one is not going to change that.

At the moment, all crypto supporters shall behave maturely instead of getting aggressive and spreading hatred about this guy. We rather shall prove him wrong by buying more and more bitcoin and spreading maximum awareness through campaigns and social media for developing more customers or users of crypto market. In this way, we will succeed in making bitcoin legal.

That is a worthy goal and one i would have loved to see happen but anyone that believes this is reality does not live in reality. if you think this is possible then you are one of the people that the system protects while clamping down on the others to make up for your deficit. He who carries the biggest stick makes the rules, that is how it is and how it will be for the foreseeable future, if you don't believe that then try getting the "defense" budget lowered.

But, i was being overly crass with this thread just to make a point which i think was missed by the vast majority. Many times i will make a short post and expect that others can extrapolate my meaning from that and I am wrong more times than not in that regard.

The goal of this thread was to point out those in the system that are coming to get bitcoin, and as i warned they did indeed do exactly that and succeeded fairly well. They now have a position where they skim the cream off the top of this market cap with their futures and options without even having to participate in actually using , buying or holding of coins. It has been admitted by a trump whistle-blower that they intentionally allowed CME/CBOE to pop btc's run-up as a bubble. And I am absolutely certain that the mt.Gox coins as well as others were all used in conjunction in order to achieve that goal.

You must know your enemy in order to defeat him and these are the enemies of freedom, those that would control you through currencies are no less dangerous than a mugger on the street and are far more insidious.

Anyone who has a sound knowledge will not listen to him and see right through his game. People make mistakes like panic selling and giving away coins during dips when they have little to negligible understanding of their asset or when they realize that they really had invested in a stupid coin. In order to stay tension free, it is best to choose bitcoin and ethereum which can be trusted blindly.

   What he needs is retirement! He needs to chill out and leave the world to younger generations.
   Violence is never a good response! What kind of message you send with violence? Instead to create a world of love, you will
create a world of fear. Freedom of speech means that anyone can say anything, don`t get offended try to understand and to
learn them better if you don`t agree with what they say, but to hear someone just cause you don`t think the same is making you
the evil one.

Fuck all you bitches saying violence is not a proportional response.

He needs his ass kicked.

   I would never punch an old man! He can talk what he wants, it`s not matter, he is an old guy! And I agree with you SolarWindMiningCompany
(interesting username) that he indirectly promotes Bitcoin. His words are published, people will see Bitcoin! One more guy that will try to
"tame" Bitcoin.
   Thanks for sharing this interesting article, I enjoyed reading it. Few more things to learn about successful crypto-currency companies.

I agree that this could be a possibility for him to keep people investing in bitcoin but is this also considered as making FUD?

The information war is a very powerful weapon. And he uses it to the maximum. This person clearly knows what he is saying and understands that his words will affect many people. But we shouldn't talk about violence, since we shouldn't use such measures. We must use the word, this is a more effective method.

I won't go close to punching him. Looking on the brighter side, he's only indirectly promoting bitcoin and can't derail it. Why he's trying stop a phenomenon, America and China keeps positioning itself to become the power house of cryptocurrency. In the recently release article by theblockcrypto, USA and Chinese blockchain firms dominate the list of most valuable companies worth over $1b (https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/44277/there-are-now-11-blockchain-unicorns-in-the-world-with-over-1b-valuation-including-binance-ripple-and-coinbase)

I think many people do not believe and follow what he says in public. now investors and traders are not easily influenced to be quick to panic in making decisions. especially with fake and inaccurate news. he hoped that there would be market influence from what he said. but after everyone knows how he is looking for sensation most people leave him.

I do not believe he can do that. He just feels like running his mouth to cause panic to holders.
This is one of their strategies. Which means a critical thinker will know that he has no other weapon than coming online with his influence to manipulate through talks and not the money he has.

I don't feel like punching anyone on the face for FUD on bitcoin and crypto in general, in time people like him will have no choice but to embrace the tech when all they could see around them if how far crypto have gone

Every thinks he is stupid right? when he is actually smarter than you all, the planned to FUD Bitcoin and grab it while he can, he must have some bitcoin in a cold wallet i bet, kinda 'professor' in money heist who had everything planned from the start

You need to be completely crazy to punch an old man in his face and it does not matter what he is saying. It is always hard to get the new technology and further development for old people, but it does not mean they need to be punched.

NO need! don't let your hand touch his face and help him be in peace! the whole community (mostly) is feeling the hate to him.
Let's just wait for the right time! prayers for him! all he does is to FUD so let him be!

I don't want to punch him in the face, and I don't want to make my hand dirty because of him. I will ask him to join me in the private coffee shop, and he pays the drink. After that, I will ask him to give me some money, well let say $100k so I can buy a lot of bitcoin and altcoin.

It's not hard to harm that person but what is the point? He just ordered by other people who have high-level rank in the government. There will be many other people like him that will say the same thing as him. So perhaps, we can talk to him about many things and suggest that he should have retired from his jobs and enjoy his day with his family. That will better for him

Old thoughts often won't be respected in a modern world. he was too familiar with a large stock market and unfamiliar with the unreasonable pumping of coins.
However, investment in the crypto market still has a very high risk but I like this. He will not be able to affect the crypto market.

Probably not because he is too old and i don't want go to jail for killing an old man (i don't think he can survive a punch) who has opinions about the things he has no idea.

 It seems that the philosophy of banking transactions has made him confused with the blockchain's superior features. he will never know the potential of cryptocurrency.
Like Warren Buffett, older people often give mixed opinions about crypto. Please ignore them and continue to invest.

A few years ago, many users of cryptocurrency hoped that Bitcoin would be an excellent means of accumulation, but after the fall in prices in 2018, such hopes vanished. In any case, they still believe that it will be possible to make money with Bitcoin, but this idea is carried out only if Bitcoin is used as a means of payment and that will attract more investment.

He's probably  part of the team responsible fo bitcoin slump in 2018 to below 3300 dollars. Their major aim is to suppress the asset through organised fuds and buy-up strategy and control its market just like they did to gold. I hope bitcoin can withstand that much

We live in a world of democracy and freedom of speech, where everyone has the right to their own thoughts. Each has own motivation. This man  protects his business. And we are enthusiasts of bitcoin and cryptography,and we defend our opinion adn own thoughts about desire and  dreams.

He will see that, there's nothing to argue with people who blindly taking it side without doing anything at the the other, he will be just another person
who'll going t realized things that he might be missing, no need to touch him or make any thing with him as it value nothing from his closed minded
position.

I also agree with you. By some of them, tongue mouths are always negative about Bitcoin. But behind that, he silently cares and invests. The second person is the people. the old man thought backward stock did not catch up with the era when he genetically fell in love with the way people get rich from bitcoin. we should eliminate these people and expect him to get out of the newspaper.

I bet he's talking for good. He may have difference in thoughts about how to achieve that good but he certainly is much more experienced about economics than we ever would be. We all can't know everything and it's never late to learn.

He's too old to receive a punch, you might even kill him, and besides, you cannot teach an old dog new tricks and I treat him like an old dog, he will be like that even if Bitcoin reaches $1 million and every corner in the city has Bitcoin Atm better ignore this poor old guy.

how can he and his group tame bitcoin? bankers will never be able to tame bitcoins unless they control the market by buying all the remaining bitcoins. but it can actually increase prices and then many sell and dump. if a dump occurs, they will actually lose :v

You don't need to even touch him he is not going to 'understand' what the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem and movement is about. That's why it is better to keep them hatin'

I will not hit it, it will not be affected by it. Stay calm and believe that the future of cryptocurrency will be even better in the future.
Hitting the person who looks old and the chairmanship period will beat himself with the actions and actions he has done against us.
Let him talk as he pleases, I hope he is aware of what he has done. It will be enough for him to be hit.

Nah, I pity him if he really thinks that Bitcoin can be 'tamed'.
Sure, they can regulate it and make it more user friendly for the average person, but they can't fully stop trades outside of their platforms.

They won't stop me from sending Bitcoin to whoever I want, even if they end up making it illegal, I'd still find away around it.

Bankers are very clever people looks like they are coming up with a plan to control bitcoin too as all their conspiracies till now seem to have failed, the next plan could be the introduction of btc savings account where banks will accept btc deposits for some profits so this way they can capture vast supply of btc.

Well i won't do that, because... you know its just we don't have to judge people because they have different persepective about crypto, i mean of course all of us here im sure there are some that have perspective about bitcoin will tame the Bank, but it's looks like impossible and so about this matter.

What we have to do right know is about giving people like this new perspective about crypto, and educate them, not bullying them.

On the contrary, you need to be friends with enemies)) If nothing helps, then you have to beat. But it is better not to do it)))

At it Fudding again.

This is an amusing thread but it really is testament to just how crazy the cryptocurrency world is despite having practically fallen over this year because you can never really imagine what can be possible and it is proving to be surprising enough to keep anyone guessing at what may happen next which is not boring at all

yeah, why not but I will be persecuted by doing that to an old man, let's just prove them that he is very wrong and all those who think they can beat Bitcoin just like that, they all thought it's easy to do that we have a big community and we can deal this idiot and fight him in his game.

Although I hate it, I won't move it. My banker thinks he is old. If I hit him, it may cause it to enter the intensive care unit, so this is ethical. We should not abuse violence. Please don't worry about the future of cryptocurrencies.

yeah right  even a slap in the face is enough to further disfigured his face so there is no need to punch, one big punch could end everything for him. 

So, do you guys believe this Asshole now?

Added: this guy explained it a hell of alot better than me.

Sorry mate, but I still don't get it. What is so wrong about shortselling? Maybe you should stop using price graphs indicating price rise/dive on vertical scale and start using left-right indication for price action. It might free you from bull run addiction.

I won't do that because we should respect the old. I don't think we should be angry even they do something bad to us. Keep calm and do what we can to make ourselves better.

I don't think you realize they will be able to sell these futures without having to buy Bitcoin. They are selling nothing and using it to short and that is where the problem lies.

Such stupid posts here.
This is the guy, who wants to open bitcoin to institutional investors. It means to grow btc price from 14k USD to 1.000.000 USD range.
Read https://www.coindesk.com/cme-groups-leo-melamed-well-tame-bitcoin/
"One of the senior figures at derivatives giant CME Group believes that bitcoin is on course to become its own tradable asset class.
In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, the company's chairman emeritus Leo Melamed said bitcoin will likely come to trade in a similar way to how gold and stocks are exchanged today.
Notably, CME Group last week announced plans to launch a bitcoin futures contract, aiming to have the product available by the end of the year. The product is still contingent on approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the firm indicated at the time.
Melamed told Reuters that he expects institutional investors to take part in the futures contracts, rather than just speculators, and called the move a "very important step for bitcoin's history." The product will enable investors to bet on bitcoin, as well as short-sell the cryptocurrency."
Punch yourselves in your faces!

These guys are the people who make fud and buy cheap bitcoins when the price falls

I don't like bankers. AT ALL. BUT it's not right to call stupid a man like him.
He's more successful and proven than 99% people around, even if they are millionaires from crypto. He's managing a colossus institution.
At keep in mind - all those bankers and WST old dogs are always making public statements for a reason. He may FUDing Bitcoin to lower the price for his own future options, for example.

I definitely would, anyways we together are more powerful than these scum

With his looks, he sure needs tons of attention. And he doesnt have much time left. let him be bros

Well sure I'm not looking to date the guy but not sure why we're talking about physically harming someone just because of his what? Bitcoin future proposal? I never understood why they wanted to bet on the future of bitcoin rather than picking up some for themselves to HODL. Betting on the future of something that you don't seem to grasp today seems to be a real gamble.

Do not judge a book by its cover. Similarly do not judge a person by its appearance but by the clout he/she wields.
Having said that the decentralised movement that is pioneered by bitcoin may be more powerful than a large centralised institution.

These guys are scary, CME group can definitely become a threat for decentralization efforts

This guy is anything but stupid he is dead dangerous. CME Group is the largest futures exchange in the world.

It was just a stupid man, maybe he was too old for his mind to keep up with the new age.

Fuck I hate bankers.

No, his face looks depressing enough as it is.
