^CZ. I remember when he posted something about BitBoy too.

And now, BitBoy is in the hot zone.

Quote

Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, ex-host of the Bitboy Crypto YouTube channel, was arrested last night by Gwinnett County police while livestreaming outside his former business partner's house—who he alleges has his Lamborghini.

A crypto influencer who was also cornered because of supporting or promoting FTX.
I don't know what happened to this guy. IMO, he ain't thinking straight anymore. He livestreamed someone else property, he brought a gun, and to make it worse his woman who he is having an affair with.
Now the donation thing stream that he did is getting worse feedback and I doubt he will get any penny now.

He is already released on bail but he put some scar on his reputation.

Quote

Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong has been released on bail after he was arrested during the late hours of Monday after an apparent confrontation with his former business partner, part of which was live-streamed on X, formerly Twitter.

After all the bad news with the SEC attacking Binance it didn't look too good for the US half of the site. Especially with two of the last CEOs resigning and one being investigated recently, this FUD seemed to be at the right time.
But now the judge has thrown out the case against CZ and this is a live shot of what he has to say to Gary Gensler and the SEC

SEC goes after another crypto influencer but this one had created their own blockchain to rival ethereum for the go to for smart contracts called HEX:

https://ihodl.com/topnews/2023-08-01/sec-sues-hex-founder
https://www.ccn.com/news/sec-sues-hex-founder-unregistered-securities

Funny thing is, Gary Gensler and the SEC chose to have this court case filed on the same day as a film about the HEX founder came out:
The Highest of Stakes: The new crypto king or billion dollar conman trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtfjEg_ou6c

It's been a long time since I heard the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and it comes out again. I heard the PulseX project before, but I never had the chance to check it out.

It looks like SEC or should I say Gary Gensler won't stop at this point and there may be more projects that will come out being filtered out by them. He may be busy with checking out the AI technology injected in cryptocurrencies, but he won't stop suing more.

I found some recent news about SEC and Gensler.

Republican Lawmakers Demand Gensler Tell Them How Prometheum Got SEC Approval

Quote

“The timing of the approval raises concerns that it was aimed at demonstrating that legislation is not needed because there is a workable regulatory framework for the custody of digital asset securities,” the letter said. The lawmakers also sent a letter to the head of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) – an industry-funded group that sets and enforces securities standards under the SEC’s watch.

Quote

The letters raise “serious questions” about whether the SEC championed Prometheum as a poster firm to represent Gensler’s position that no new laws are needed to regulate and police crypto in the U.S.

Ooh. That is quite a serious question indeed.

I haven't looked real deep in to the situation but I can say that I'm glad he put all of these scumbags on blast. There's nothing more sickening to me than rich "influencers" (which the term makes me want to puke) who either knowingly or unknowingly promote these ponzi schemes. Floyd Mayweather is probably the best example. What a scumbag pos human being he it. I can't stand any of these people you listed, and it's unfortunate that they didn't get more severe punishments.

You mean like what Carlson told Andrew Tate he should of done to get away with billions such as SBF did with the FTX crypto exchange?

https://twitter.com/VentureCoinist/status/1678891376468176899

Unfortunately that happened on Bad Old Gary's watch at ivory tower of the SEC.
Which seem to be crumbling now with one of the biggest cases against cryptocurrency evaporating before his eyes.

why hasnt the SEC gone after all the BSV influencers

They will not ever come to BSV influencers because BSV is not a security Grin

and besides that, the BSV is the original of Bitcoin the satoshi vision they will not ever get chase by the government Grin

BSV is a fork of Bcash. It is not, nor will it ever be the original Bitcoin. I didn't even know there was such a thing as BSV influencers. Who is there to influence? Only idiots would fall for this scam fork. It is not a security because it has lost so much value that no reasonable person should expect to make a profit from investing in this joke coin. There are much bigger scams for the SEC to worry about and collect bigger fines from.

So that's why it is pumping along with Bitcoin Cash (BCH), since as you have stated they are the "real bitcoin".
The government won't chase it solely because it hasn't gone over what their target for buying it all up is yet.
If you get what I mean.

Maybe Goober Gary can help them both out:

Interesting article I found while looking for some insight of why the bitcoin price broke $31,230 earlier from $30,436 today on news about the SEC pursue of anything to stop it's progress any further.
This is speculation but it just might be closer to what is actually going on with the SEC and dirty gary is trying to play around with the recent filings of BlackRock Capital:
Gensler May Be Working For The interest of TradFi
"Industry veterans are now calling on SEC Chair Gary Gensler to step away from crypto enforcement actions.
There have been allegations of the top cop favoring TradFi players."

This crap makes bitcoin dump from a sharp rise in price this morning from surging past $31,380 all the way down to $29,800 as soon this tweet went out.

Thanks to Gary Gensler the head of the SEC. For how much longer, lets hope not for much longer or until the next court case filing against another exchange.

If that's Gensler's strategy, then long term investors who are currently bidding should place their bids lower and encourage him to keep going with his FUD. Cool

Furthermore, Bitcoin doesn't need the ETF, it's BlackRock and the other legacy funds that need the ETF. Why? Because they'll earn investment-management fees from investors.

This is so very true @Wind_FURY: Bitcoin does not need the Spot Bitcoin ETF. They are a corporation so of course they only consider choices that benefit their own entity and nothing more.
If you think they care about the investor or what bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency eco-system whether they live or die.
Then simply they are a fool for thinking anything different.

Big money got there by thinking about their own bottom line and if bitcoin goes to zero they wouldn't give two ****s about it.
Seriously speaking.
The money they make off the institutional investors that buy this ETF when it is finally out and fully approved will be the only thing they care about.
They are business minded and if the small investor who buys these ETFs are bankrupt in the end because of it's offering, they will just write it off.

Let's live in the real world now with these back from the future visions stated here in the thread please.

Another possible cause for drama are the proposals they included in their registration statement for the SEC. They were letting everyone know that they have the lone right to choose which chain they consider Bitcoin in case of a fork.

I talked about it in these posts.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62452869

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62417885

Tin-foil hats on, but it could be dangerous because if five other ETF filings are approved with the same "proposals/arrangement", BlackRock and the other ETF issuers could cause a hash war, then together be the Cabal that could have enough influence to persuade everyone which side of the fork is Bitcoin.

It's true about bitcoin not needing ETF to go on, but when I see stupid restrictions limiting people's ability to invest, I get angry.
Gensler is obviously working against cryptocurrencies. He allowed SBF who was stealing deposits to function, but he kept denying legit spot ETFs, despite allowing a futures ETF to function. His reasoning was that bitcoin market is volatile and offers no protection for investors, how come we have futures then? Aren't they volatile by following bitcoin market? Don't they offer the same kind of risk to investors that a spot ETF would?

All the major financial institution sites are reporting on what the SEC had said about the BlackRock filing of their spot ETF being insufficient for approval after a complete review of their application was done:

I recently commented on something regarding the influence of social networks and wow, if they move masses...... just the publication of this famous made the SEC speak out immediately and of course they did not do it to comment on nice things. The SEC will always seek to defame and even put cryptocurrencies to the ground and all because they have not yet found a way to control them as they want, the only thing they have been able to do is place certain restrictions without much success. You can see it with what happened recently suing Coinbase and Binance because according to them they were violating the securities laws, and they continue to attack everyone who has to do with them, what I see is that they cannot stop doing something Without it being with bad intentions towards these digital currencies and I don't understand why they do this the government instead of preventing them should study ways to incorporate them into the country's economy, as other regions have done.

Some bad moves done by the old dirty gary with their regulated crypto litigation firm. Sounds to me like some payoffs were done to enable them to get regulation approval so quickly and not Coinbase or Binance.
Crypto Lobbyists Ask SEC for Info on Prometheum, the Mysterious 'Regulated' Crypto Firm
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/06/15/crypto-lobbyists-ask-sec-for-info-on-prometheum-the-mysterious-regulated-crypto-firm

yeah the Prometheum thing is pretty shady. In that testimony they were apparently asked about what cryptocurrencies they offer and they said they don't even offer any. So they literally don't have an exchange, but were approved by the SEC lol. I don't even know what it is that their business does, and it doesn't seem like anybody has really heard of them before (because again, they don't have an exchange). I think it is pretty clear the SEC approved them just for the optics of trying to give Gensler some cover from the increasingly large amount of people pointing out he is corrupt and is doing the opposite of his job when it comes to the crypto industry. SEC is using Prometheus, which isn't even an exchange, to say "oh look see we have no problem approving exchanges" and have this company without an exchange back them up. I'm guessing at most Prometheum is maybe gonna offer some cryptocurrency trading to select Wall St clients, its not like they are gonna be some public crypto exchange, and so Gensler decided this very small private potential exchange is worth the tradeoff to have this prop to try to shield himself from everyone starting to point out exactly the corrupt things he is doing.
