Before each big bull market, there is always a small bull market.

The small bull market in 2013 took place in April and the big bulls took place in October, with an interval of 5 months.

This wave of bull market in 2021, there was also a wave of small bull market before it, which occurred in August 2020. It stands to reason that the big bull is right in front of us.

It's just that this big bull market will not be as short as before. It may last for a long time, maybe half a year, maybe a year, and there will be many shocks in the middle.

The four-year currency bull market is in full swing. In 100 days, BTC skyrocketed 250%. Since the ETH 312 event, it has risen 5.5 times. In the big bull market, friends all made much money.

But having said that, the "wealth figures" on the books now, strictly speaking, can only be regarded as "floating profits" before they are pocketed.

The key to deciding how much money we can end up with lies in how we "escape from the top", only not being greedy. So short-term investors should reduce their positions by now.

Operation suggestions:

Support level: the first support level is 36,500 points, the second support level is 36,000 integers;

Resistance level: the first resistance level is 37,500 points, the second resistance level is 38,000 points.

Bitcoin Scam: using Chamath Palihapitiya

This just happened a few minutes ago. Youtube algorithm recommended a 'live' video of Chamath Palihapitiya. Being a fan, I clicked on the video link and on the video it said "send 1 bitcoin, get 2 bitcoins back" with a link in the descriptions. (https://chamath2021.net).

The description from the website reads:

*Chamath Palihapitiya believes that blockchain and Bitcoin will make the world more fair. To speed up the process of cryptocurrency mass adoption, We decided to run 5 000 BTC giveaway.

To participate you just need to send from 0.1 BTC to 20 BTC to the contribution address and we will immediately send you back 0.2 BTC to 40 BTC (x2 back) to the address you sent it from.\*

I normally wouldn't have believed it, but I thought it was Chamath performing a live give-away... After a second thought, I bought and sent $2,000 worth of bitcoin (0.05231213 BTC) to the address.

What a way to start off the new year :(((

Timing the top of the bull market

I started becoming interested in crypto a couple of months ago, and have happily watched my holdings rise since then (just BTC and Ethereum). I'm sold on the belief that generally, what goes up must come down, and I would be very surprised if there was not another drawdown to at least 24k support levels in the next month or so, and perhaps much lower if there's some kind of Black Swan regulatory event/security flaw/internet outage/whatever.

I don't want to be left like the slow-moving HODLers who kept their crypto after the post-2018 crash. I want to time my exit right near the top, then buy when it gets low again.

My questions are twofold: (1) Does it seem reasonable that history will "rhyme," that there will be a repetition of the 2018 bull market and crash? Or is it possible that Bitcoin will never be below 30k again? Also, (2) if you do expect that there will be a big drawdown in Bitcoin (and by extension, the rest of the crypto market), what are your strategies for timing the top so you can take your profits?

At The Highest Levels – Part 1 of 3

January 6, 2021 by Neon Revolt

This is the kind of series I’d hope I’d never have to write.

And yet, here we are. After three years of doing my best to serve the groundswell that is the Patriot movement in the United States, and six total, being on the total warpath for Trump, I must now bring to you what are possibly the most important articles I will ever have to write which will reveal corruption, and contempt for the American people at the highest levels. This will be a three part series, released over the next few hours, so please, pay close attention to everything I’m about to tell you, because the future of the Republic now hangs in the balance.

I also sincerely hope that everyone Marching and demonstrating in DC today takes the time to read this and inform everyone around them about this series, as you will not know what to do unless you read them. The information contained within will be that vital, and you must understand it.

But I need to set the stage first. To understand everything I’m about to tell you, we have to go back; back to the fateful night of July 10th, 2016, when the then 27-year-old Seth Rich was found with two gunshot wounds in his back in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in DC, near his favorite bar.

Rich would succumb to his wounds shortly thereafter, leading to rampant speculation as to the motive for his murder, and despite his family suing various individuals and corporations along the way, many were still left thinking that Rich was murdered by the the DNC and the Clinton Machine for, they speculated, leaking incriminating DNC files to Julian Assange and Wikileaks, eventually causing Hillary to lose the 2016 election, and to fuel the then-nascent Pizzagate investigations, as millions of concerned patriots became aware of just what exactly these leaked e-mails implied. After much research and deliberation, a large contingent of the community would go on to posit that two MS-13 gang members had been involved in the murder of Seth Rich, acting as guns for hire in a not-so-random hit. Two potential suspects would turn up dead in a nearby area shortly thereafter; perhaps the result of a kind of clean-up job.

/1

So the emails were out in the wild, Hillary would lose, Pizzagate would take off, and Seth Rich would end up dead. That was how this series of events was understood by many, and for many, that’s precisely where it all ended. Many would go on to honor Rich’s memory, but the case was effectively dead and most of the world had moved on.

That is, until today.

Thanks to new whistleblower testimony, a connection has come to light.

A name, in fact:

Joseph Rosati

Joseph Rosati is a DEA agent, and according to the whistleblower, someone considered a “cleaner” by higher ups in Washington D.C.

According to whistleblower testimony I have now received, Joseph Rosati is, in fact, the man who hired two MS-13 agents to shake down Seth Rich that fateful night. The intention that night, according to the whistleblower, wasn’t to murder Rich, but to scare him into submission and shake him down for a USB key he was supposedly still carrying on his person – perhaps containing even more revelations, and destined for Wikileaks? Instead, what ended up happening was Rich fought back and then ran when confronted by the armed men, and was subsequently shot in the back by the panicked MS-13 goons.

Rosati was supposedly on the scene, overseeing the whole debacle.

The whistleblower would go on to say that they would take the USB key and flee the scene because they had never intended to kill Rich in the first place, and in a moment of panic, a young man’s life was cut short.

And again, shortly after this, two MS-13 members would turn up dead.

According to this whistleblower, Joseph Rosati was the man responsible for orchestrating all of this.

If there’s any doubt that this man actually exists, his name can be found alongside other DEA agents in a 2010 lawsuit, where he is cited as one of the defendants: https://docs.justia.com/

At the Highest Levels – Part 2 of 3

January 6, 2021 by Neon Revolt

Part two of three. Read the first part here.

…If, according to our whistleblower, Joseph Rosati was the one responsible for orchestrating the attack on Seth Rich, and potentially “cleaning up” the two MS-13 agents after the shakedown went south… who put him up to it?

What you are about to read is parsed from several hours of leaked testimony I listened through today, via a whistleblower – testimony which is currently under seal in the District Court of Maryland.

This is the court case: LINK

And yes, this is the same case Lin Wood referenced on Twitter earlier:

https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1346325897306120192

What follows is a summary of the multi-hour-long testimony of alias Ryan White, delivered and recorded over several months, wherein White claims he was arrested by the very same man who was involved in the murder of Seth Rich, and the subsequent cover-up – Joseph Rosati.

White, working as a private investigator himself, had routine contact with several men working inside government agencies, including one Secret Service agent, Shaun Bridges, and another DEA agent, Carl Mark Force.

In his testimony, White would say that Bridges and Force would eventually be arrested on trumped up charges related to bitcoin theft and laundering on the Silk Road darkmarket.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/8/shaun-bridges-ex-secret-service-agent-sentenced-ag/

A disgraced former Secret Service agent already serving time for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of digital currency from the federal government has been sentenced to spend an additional two years in prison for a separate heist.

Shaun Bridges, 35, was sentenced Tuesday in connection with stealing from a digital wallet belonging to the government currently valued at about $11.3 million.

Bridges had been a member of the federal task force that investigated Silk Road, an online marketplace responsible for facilitating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of illegal drug deals prior to being dismantled by U.S. authorities in late 2013. He later admitted stealing approximately 20,000 Bitcoin from its users during the government’s probe and was sentenced in December 2015 to 71 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to related counts of money laundering and obstruction of justice.

In actuality, according to White, the men were thrown under the bus by Rosenstein, because Rosenstein was actively selling classified intelligence to foreign governments on the side, including Russia – a treasonous act, in and of itself, but doubly damning for someone who was supposed to uphold the law at the Department of Justice. However, as the Trump administration came in, the tenor of DC changed, and Rosenstein became increasingly spooked and nervous. According to White, Rosenstein wanted to stop selling info to foreign governments, but the memo didn’t quite make it all the way over to Bridges, who kept accepting foreign money on Rosenstein’s behalf.

This outraged Rosenstein, who then used his position and connections to lock the men away on charges related to the Silk Road. In other words, Rosenstein went after his own guys who had previously worked with him on various nefarious dealings – Bridges was, in fact, a forensic computer expert known for his ability to run circles around all kinds of electronics, and even, according to White, able to plant evidence on machines – for doing something which displeased Rosenstein, and which would have potentially exposed Rosenstein to legal scrutiny.

And it was from this betrayal by Rosenstein that Bridges started talking to White. White says Bridges spilled to him all the details about the murder of Seth Rich; revelations which shocked, but didn’t surprise White.

I should add here that due to the threats against his life, and the nature of his particular case, both White and his wife are currently in witness protection. Despite these threats, White has chosen to speak out and go on the record in order to shed light on this miscarriage of justice, and potentially help save the Republic.

Much of this and more would be outlined in a letter provided not only to the House Intelligence committee in 2018 (as part of a larger 920 page document containing reams of investigation into the Rich murder) but which was also provided to Tom Fitton, of Judicial Watch.

Neither anyone on the House Intelligence Committee, nor Mr. Fitton, would seem to do anything with the documents they received.

/2

/3

/4

I repeat – not a single member of the House Intelligence Committee, nor Tom Fitton, to my knowledge, ever did anything with this information.

Not a single investigation has come about as a result of this information.

Not a single prosecution. Not a single arrest.

No one in the entire government or media did a single thing with the information presented above. Not even supposed “allies” of President Trump.

So the important question to now ask is this: Why?

Why did nothing come about from any of this?

Could it be that they were all afraid?

But of whom? Rosenstein?

Rosenstein certainly had a degree of pull within his circle, but that wasn’t of whom they were truly afraid.

No, to answer that question, we have to go much higher up the ladder of power in DC.


Cryptocurrency question and CGT... Earning a supplemental "income" through Cryptocurrency profits.. Taxable?

Hello, please preemptively forgive any errors I make based on my interpretation of both Capital Gains Tax and Crypto Tax from the 2018 document published by HMRC.

The plan for me is to make an amount of profit my goal. Let's say a nice round number like £50,000.

When you are not a Cryptocurrency trader (defined by HMRC as making numerous trades per day, every day, as your main source of income) you are then a speculator and any appreciation in your assets is taxed under Capital Gains Tax.

Capital Gains Tax has a tax-free income, which operates similarly to your personal income tax allowance. The Capital Gains Tax allowance is £12,300

Assumption #1 - the CGT tax-free income is separate to your Income tax allowance, meaning if I earned £30,000 salary then £12,500 (or whatever) is tax free, and likewise if I made £20,000 on Cryptocurrencies, or fine art purchase, then £12,300 is tax free. Is that correct?

Upon trading Cryptocurrencies back to Fiat, such as GBP or USD, this is a "taxable event" and you must then pay taxes if your income goes above the tax-free bracket.

So let's go back, I have made £50,000 in Cryptocurrencies hypothetically (fuck, I wish) and I want to cash out. Now, I also don't want to see 20% of £50,000-£12,300 go poof, so I want to effectively pay myself a supplemental, tax free income by staying inside the tax free bracket and converting £12,000 worth of Bitcoin or whatever back to GBP and into my bank.

I also don't want to hold my value in Bitcoin due to the volatility - what if it tanks?! So I'm thinking, trade to a stablecoin like DAI, USDC or (gulp) Tether, and then each year, snap off a portion to convert back to GBP under the tax-free limit and send to my bank.

Assumption # 2 - this is not taxable? Is this taxable?

PS, am aware that if you are in an engagement / marriage or living with a partner you can combine your CGT tax-free incomes.. That holds true for this scenario, right?

Thank you for your time!


Looking for some advice as a 2 year noobie who is now paying attention again after the recent growth.

So to summarise, I put £100 into bitcoin late 2018 after that first big spike. I made a coinbase account and bought it on there, and then kind of left it and forgot about it. Now after the last couple of weeks events I checked and it had doubled since then.

I'd definitely consider myself more interested now and I can see the hope it brings for the future so I'm keen to invest into this more.

I'm looking for advice on what to use for this though. I've heard quite a lot of negative things about coinbase, and even the last couple of days I've had issues logging in and stuff (fine though currently). If I'm looking to buy say, £500 more soon, should I move away from coinbase?

I see references to 'wallets' and stuff but I would still be quite passive in that I just want to leave some money in there for some more years and see what happens. Is there for example, a better alternative to coinbase I should use? If so, what is the process for changing over? Do I simply withdraw my money from there and then buy coins on whatever the new platform is to the same value?

Sorry, completely new to this all still and just trying to find my feet! Been lurking this subreddit for a few days now and piecing things together slowly.


PSA to Bitcoin newcoiners: Follow these rules to avoid losing your Bitcoin!

Sick of seeing stories of people losing their Bitcoin to scams and hacks.

Before you self-custody make sure you understand these rules to avoid losing your hard-earned Bitcoin (until then just leave it on the exchange):

1. Buy a reputable hardware wallet. Mobile wallets and paper wallet generators are easier to hack. Attackers who find your seed can steal your Bitcoin.

2. Verify your wallet is authentic. Buy directly from the manufacturer and check for tampering. Roll dice to generate the seed yourself.

3. Backup all recovery information in a secure location. If your wallet dies or you forget a passphrase make sure you can recover your Bitcoin. Many people use steel backups.

4. Provide recovery instructions to your inheritors. Write down instructions in a will or dead-man’s switch including the location of your seed and passphrase backups.

5. Practice receiving, sending, and recovery with your wallet. Receive and send a small amount of Bitcoin to the wallet. Wipe your wallet’s seed and see if you can restore it.

6. Always check the address on your hardware wallet when sending or receiving. Hackers can replace addresses on your computer with their own, so double-check on your device.

7. Never enter your seed on a computer or phone. An app or website might transmit your seed to a scammer who steals all your Bitcoin. Only enter your seed into a hardware wallet.

8. Only send Bitcoin to people you know are authentic. Any deal that seems too good to be true is probably a scam. There is no way to undo a transaction.

9. Double-check you own Bitcoin. Don’t trust a website to tell you that you’ve received Bitcoin, double-check on a block explorer using Tor or your own node.

10. Determine the level of privacy you need. Owning Bitcoin makes you a target for extortion or theft. Keep your Bitcoin as private as you can.

. . .

At first it may seem like a lot to remember, especially if you are new to Bitcoin, but it only takes a few hours to set up a wallet. After you move Bitcoin into your wallet there is nothing left for you to worry about until you need to move it again. Your Bitcoin will be safe from bad custodians, hackers, fraudsters, and accidents.

Once you have mastered using your hardware wallet, you can decide whether you want to add multisig to your security. Multisig adds more complexity, but protects you against rare events which I recommend if you store a significant amount of your savings.

Real-life use cases for Monero

Here are a few examples of real-life use case for Monero that I found from masteringmonero.com that defeats any arguments accusing Monero of being a tool used to hide criminal activity. Although it can be used for such, Monero has a lot of legal uses as well which includes:

Price manipulation: Sofia is the only mechanic in a small town. One of her customers paid for an oil change with Bitcoin. Sofia later looked up his address on the ledger and saw that the customer's wallet contained enough Bitcoin for a new Lamborghini. Next time he needed a repair, she doubled her prices. If the customer had used Monero, Sofia would have been unable to view his balance or use such information to manipulate prices.

Financial surveillance: Oleg's parents send him some Bitcoin to pay for textbooks, then continue to snoop on his Bitcoin address and activity. A few months later, Oleg sends some leftover Bitcoin to the public donation address for an organization that does not align with his parents' political views. He does not realize that they are still monitoring his Bitcoin activity until he receives a furious email from his parents, berating him. If Oleg had used Monero, his family would not have been upset due to prying into his transaction activity.

Supply chain privacy: Kyung-Seok owns a small business providing family catering services for local events. A large food company uses blockchain tracing to identify most of his regular clients. The corporation uses this list to contact Kyung-Seok's customers, offering similar deals for 5% less. If Kyung-Seok's business used Monero instead, its transaction history could not have been exploited by rival businesses seeking to steal his customers.

Discrimination: Ramona finds her dream apartment, conveniently close to her new job in a great neighbourhood. Every month, she promptly pays her rent in Bitcoin. However, the landlord notices that some of the payments trackback to a legal online casino. The landlord personally despises gambling and unexpectedly chooses to not renew Ramona's lease. If Ramona paid the rent with Monero instead, the landlord would not be able to review its history and discriminate based on her legal source of income.

Transaction security/privacy: Sven sells a guitar to a stranger, and gives the buyer a Bitcoin address from his long-term savings wallet. The buyer checks the blockchain, sees the large sum of money that Sven has saved up, and consequently robs him at gunpoint. If Sven had instead given a Monero address for payment, the buyer would not have been able to view Sven's wealth.

Tainted coins: Loki sells some of his artwork online to save up for college. When he pays tuition, he is shocked to receive a “payment INVALID” error from the school. Unbeknownst to Loki, one of his paintings was purchased using some Bitcoin that was stolen during an exchange hack the previous year. Since the school rejects any payment from a blacklist of “tainted” Bitcoins, they refuse to mark the bill “paid.” Loki is in an extremely difficult position: the Bitcoin that he saved has already been transferred out of his account, yet the tuition bill is still unpaid. This entire situation would have been avoided if Loki sold his paintings for Monero instead since its fungibility precludes tracking or blacklists.


TA: Bitcoin Revisits $34K, Why BTC Could Surge To New ATH Above $35K

https://redditbitcoin.com/ta-bitcoin-revisits-34k-why-btc-could-surge-to-new-ath-above-35k.htm/

Bitcoin cost began a new increment over the $33,200 opposition against the US Dollar. BTC is likely looking at more potential gains over the $34,500 and $35,000 obstruction levels.

Bitcoin is up over 5% and it broke the $33,200 and $33,500 obstruction levels.

The cost is exchanging pleasantly close $34,000 and it is well over the 100 hourly basic moving normal.

There was a break over a significant bearish pattern line with obstruction close $32,400 on the hourly graph of the BTC/USD pair (information feed from Kraken).

The pair is probably going to quicken higher over the $34,500 and $35,000 obstruction levels.

Bitcoin Price is Gaining Momentum

Recently, we talked about the odds of a new expansion in bitcoin cost above $33,200 and $33,500. BTC picked up bullish force and it had the option to clear the $33,200 and $33,500 opposition levels.

There was additionally a break over a significant bearish pattern line with opposition close $32,400 on the hourly graph of the BTC/USD pair. The pair picked up speed and it even broke the $34,000 obstruction zone. It tried the $34,500 opposition and settled over the 100 hourly basic moving normal.

A high is shaped close $34,536 and the cost is presently uniting gains. It tried the $33,800 uphold zone, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the new wave from the $31,196 swing low to $34,536 high.

CHART

https://redditbitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Bitcoin-3-1536x729.png

In the event that there are more drawbacks, the cost could test the $32,800 uphold. It is near the half Fib retracement level of the new wave from the $31,196 swing low to $34,536 high. On the potential gain, the cost is confronting obstacles close the $34,500 level.

An unmistakable break and close over the $34,500 level may conceivably open the entryways for a flood over the $35,000 level. In the expressed case, the following significant stop for the bulls could be close $36,500 or $37,200.

Plunges Supported in BTC?

On the off chance that bitcoin neglects to clear the $34,500 and $35,000 levels, it could begin a new descending move. An underlying help on the disadvantage is close the $33,000 and $32,800 levels.

The fundamental help is currently shaping close the $32,400 level and the 100 hourly basic moving normal. A nearby beneath the 100 hourly SMA could begin a new decrease towards the $30,000 uphold zone in the close to term.

A name, in fact:

Joseph Risoti

Joseph Risoti is a DEA agent, and according to the whistleblower, someone considered a “cleaner” by higher ups in Washington D.C.

According to whistleblower testimony I have now received, Joseph Risoti is, in fact, the man who hired two MS-13 agents to shake down Seth Rich that fateful night. The intention that night, according to the whistleblower, wasn’t to murder Rich, but to scare him into submission and shake him down for a USB key he was supposedly still carrying on his person – perhaps containing even more revelations, and destined for Wikileaks? Instead, what ended up happening was Rich fought back and then ran when confronted by the armed men, and was subsequently shot in the back by the panicked MS-13 goons.

Risoti was supposedly on the scene, overseeing the whole debacle.

The whistleblower would go on to say that they would take the USB key and flee the scene because they had never intended to kill Rich in the first place, and in a moment of panic, a young man’s life was cut short.

And again, shortly after this, two MS-13 members would turn up dead.

According to this whistleblower, Joseph Risoti was the man responsible for orchestrating all of this.

If there’s any doubt that this man actually exists, his name can be found alongside other DEA agents in a 2010 lawsuit, where he is cited as one of the defendants:

And now the obvious question emerges…

If Joseph Risoti was the one responsible for orchestrating the attack on Seth Rich, and potentially “cleaning up” the two MS-13 agents after the shakedown went south… who put him up to it?

That’s where things get interesting…

…If, according to our whistleblower, Joseph Rosati was the one responsible for orchestrating the attack on Seth Rich, and potentially “cleaning up” the two MS-13 agents after the shakedown went south… who put him up to it?

What you are about to read is parsed from several hours of leaked testimony I listened through today, via a whistleblower – testimony which is currently under seal in the District Court of Maryland.

This is the court case:

And yes, this is the same case Lin Wood referenced on Twitter earlier:

https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1346325897306120192

What follows is a summary of the multi-hour-long testimony of alias Ryan White, delivered and recorded over several months, wherein White claims he was arrested by the very same man who was involved in the murder of Seth Rich, and the subsequent cover-up – Joseph Rosati.

White, working as a private investigator himself, had routine contact with several men working inside government agencies, including one Secret Service agent, Shaun Bridges, and another DEA agent, Carl Mark Force.

In his testimony, White would say that Bridges and Force would eventually be arrested on trumped up charges related to bitcoin theft and laundering on the Silk Road darkmarket.

A disgraced former Secret Service agent already serving time for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of digital currency from the federal government has been sentenced to spend an additional two years in prison for a separate heist.

Shaun Bridges, 35, was sentenced Tuesday in connection with stealing from a digital wallet belonging to the government currently valued at about $11.3 million.

Bridges had been a member of the federal task force that investigated Silk Road, an online marketplace responsible for facilitating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of illegal drug deals prior to being dismantled by U.S. authorities in late 2013. He later admitted stealing approximately 20,000 Bitcoin from its users during the government’s probe and was sentenced in December 2015 to 71 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to related counts of money laundering and obstruction of justice.

The former DEA agent, based in Baltimore, Maryland, had been a member of the Silk Road Task Force, a sprawling multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional law enforcement effort that eventually netted Ross Ulbricht, also known as the Dread Pirate Roberts. In February 2015, Ulbricht was convicted on all counts after a jury trial in New York. He is currently serving a life sentence.

No mention of Carl Mark Force IV made it into Ulbricht’s trial. Neither did any mention of Shaun Bridges, the former Secret Service agent charged alongside him. The spree of crimes they committed as Silk Road investigators was under the seal of grand jury secrecy at the time. Bridges used the credentials of a Silk Road moderator-turned-informant to rob Dread Pirate Roberts, administrator of Silk Road. Force posed as a hitman and took money from DPR to kill the informant. Force and Bridges then faked the brutal murder of the informant.

In actuality, according to White, the men were thrown under the bus by Rosenstein, because Rosenstein was actively selling classified intelligence to foreign governments on the side, including Russia – a treasonous act, in and of itself, but doubly damning for someone who was supposed to uphold the law at the Department of Justice. However, as the Trump administration came in, the tenor of DC changed, and Rosenstein became increasingly spooked and nervous. According to White, Rosenstein wanted to stop selling info to foreign governments, but the memo didn’t quite make it all the way over to Bridges, who kept accepting foreign money on Rosenstein’s behalf.

This outraged Rosenstein, who then used his position and connections to lock the men away on charges related to the Silk Road. In other words, Rosenstein went after his own guys who had previously worked with him on various nefarious dealings – Bridges was, in fact, a forensic computer expert known for his ability to run circles around all kinds of electronics, and even, according to White, able to plant evidence on machines – for doing something which displeased Rosenstein, and which would have potentially exposed Rosenstein to legal scrutiny.

And it was from this betrayal by Rosenstein that Bridges started talking to White. White says Bridges spilled to him all the details about the murder of Seth Rich; revelations which shocked, but didn’t surprise White.

I should add here that due to the threats against his life, and the nature of his particular case, both White and his wife are currently in witness protection. Despite these threats, White has chosen to speak out and go on the record in order to shed light on this miscarriage of justice, and potentially help save the Republic.

Much of this and more would be outlined in a letter provided not only to the House Intelligence committee in 2018 (as part of a larger 920 page document containing reams of investigation into the Rich murder) but which was also provided to Tom Fitton, of Judicial Watch.

Neither anyone on the House Intelligence Committee, nor Mr. Fitton, would seem to do anything with the documents they received.

Did you catch that on page 2?

This information indicated that Rod Rosenstein solicited the help of two trusted agents (Rosati & Boroshok) with whom he had worked closely with in the past to organize the operation to retrieve a thumb drive with classified emails always carried by Mr. Rich. The emails had been removed from the DNC server by Mr. Rich and later sold to Wikileaks.

I repeat – not a single member of the House Intelligence Committee, nor Tom Fitton, to my knowledge, ever did anything with this information.

Not a single investigation has come about as a result of this information.

Not a single prosecution. Not a single arrest.

No one in the entire government or media did a single thing with the information presented above. Not even supposed “allies” of President Trump.

So the important question to now ask is this: Why?

Why did nothing come about from any of this?

Could it be that they were all afraid?

But of whom? Rosenstein?

Rosenstein certainly had a degree of pull within his circle, but that wasn’t of whom they were truly afraid.

No, to answer that question, we have to go much higher up the ladder of power in DC.

Right to the very…

Well, you’ll need to read Part Three to find out.

At the Highest Levels – Part 3 of 3

January 6, 2021 by Neon Revolt

Part three of three. Read parts one and two.

Cowards in Congress, and across the GOP? Is anyone surprised by this? Sadly, I don’t think so. In a strange way, we’ve almost all come to expect the men and women in congress to collapse and fail us, each and every time. The question isn’t so much “will they fail us?” as much as it is “how badly will they fail us?”

In truth, it wasn’t so much Rosenstein everyone was afraid of. No, according to our whistleblower, it was the men behind Rosenstein – a group of men brought together by the sudden, apocalyptic rise of Trump – a group dead set on undermining him – even if it meant waiting for four long years before they could strike.

Rosenstein would go on to shelter Rosati whenever he deemed it necessary. A self-serving power-player in a high-stakes role, with an almost neurotic need to apply “the law” as he saw fit (even as he bent and broke the law himself), Rosenstein actually despised both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. White would say that on Rosenstein’s wall was a display highlighting his Whitewater convictions, and while Rosenstein was glad Hillary lost – even as his own wife continued to work for the Clinton Foundation – he certainly saw no future for Trump in DC.

Therefore, he set about to undermining him even if it meant making a deal with the devil:

According to White, after papering over various Seth-Rich-related loose ends, Rosenstein would sign off on illegal FISA warrants, in order to entrap the Trump administration in the entire “Russian Collusion” lie.

This we know, but what we haven’t known up until this point was his motivation.

Why would he do this?

Simply put, because he saw Pence as more deserving of “the throne;” someone whom he could work with, with a more even and pragmatic keel, who would probably overlook his treasonous dalliances in selling intelligence to foreign powers, and who wouldn’t let all that messy, antiquated “America First” ideology get in the way of “progress.”

According to recorded testimony from our whistleblower, Rosenstein, together with Pence’s knowledge and consent, went on to help engineer the entire coup attempt against President Trump – in an attempt to oust Trump, and promote Pence to the Presidency, at which point, Pence would turn around and appoint Rod Rosenstein as VP.

Thankfully, Rosenstein failed.

But he almost didn’t.

You ever wonder how Rod got away with perjuring himself so blatantly?

It’s because no one in DC had the will to truly go after him.

No one wanted to go after him because so many knew what was really going on. It was all about putting on a show for you at home and waiting out the Trumpocalypse that had befallen their little town called D.C. to pass by. The strategy was first to try and wait Trump out. Put on a show about being his ally, but really, you let the opposition run rampant, do whatever they want, hope they succeed, and go back to your successful little political grift, where all you do is put on a show for the CPAC types, and rake in donations and lobbying industry cash.

Worst case scenario – if he failed, well… Pence was still in place.

A living insurance policy, of sorts.

Sometimes, you want to give someone every chance, and every single benefit of the doubt. You want to believe that goodness can shine through and prevail in them, and that when it comes down to the wire, they will come through and make the right decision. You want to believe in the power of redemption and extend every single opportunity for another to do the right thing.

I wanted this for Mike Pence. I wanted him to do the right thing. It was why I penned my last article, which many of you read and shared online, which highlighted the Constitutionally-imbued power of the President of the Senate to choose from among competing slates of electors, in order to preserve the Republic as the last line of defense – a firewall against massive fraud and election theft.

Sadly, despite being told by my sources in Washington that Pence himself read this article and initially appeared to agree with it, it seems that Pence has decided to back away right as we come to the precipice; that he will refuse to save this Republic, and has in actuality now planning to betray President Trump at this, the final hour.

I always knew this would be an option for Pence. Should he really desire to betray Trump, all he had to do was keep his cards close to his chest, pretend to be an ally, and then flip at the last possible second in order to run out the clock and prevent Trump from being able to respond at all.

This is what’s happening now. This is where we are at – with a man closest to the President, who – according to our whistleblower – secretly agreed to participate in a coup against that very same President, set to determine the fate of that same President, by getting to decide which slates of electors get counted in this, the most fraudulent election to ever take place in the history of this country.

And this is why I must now write the most fateful sentence I have ever dared to write; the kind of sentence I had always hoped to avoid, but in the face of the evidence I now see, and the situation in which we find ourselves, I must write it all the same.

I hereby call for the immediate arrest of Michael Richard Pence, 48th Vice President of the United States, for Treason.

Patriots – you are all in DC today for a reason.

Make it count.

(And maybe now this all helps explain why Pence got an envelope, too).

What was 2020 like for the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry

https://preview.redd.it/7io4cmsazo961.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=4bc5bae43dff01ffdf8e9076d4137c5165fc9be5

BTC breaking through, a growing popularity of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), an adoption of cryptocurrency by institutional investors and large companies. What else was special about 2020? Let’s take a look back.

Of course, the main event in the crypto industry over the past year was the unprecedented growth of Bitcoin price. At the end of the year, BTC began to break its own historical records one after another. At the moment of us writing this, its value exceeds $33,000, and it looks like it’s not going to stop there. For the record, the historical high for BTC was $19,850 back in 2017. Now its growth cycle is much more stable since it is determined by the participation of institutional investors. Among them, MicroStrategy was the most eager, buying a total of $900 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September. We can say that MicroStrategy was mostly responsible for both the growth and popularization of BTC.

The Bitcoin halving was another major event of 2020. It took place on May 11 at the point of adding block №630,000 and reduced the reward per block to 6.5 BTC. By the way, this benchmark was relatively quiet and peaceful, without significant hashrate spikes, as many expected.

Let’s move on and take a look at Decentralized Finance. Although DeFi’s main peak has passed, the amount of money blocked in the protocols continues to grow, with more than $17 billion now invested in them, according to DeFiPulse (for reference, it was only $660 million or even less at the beginning of 2020). Decentralized platforms for credits, loans, trading, insurance, and other financial services are blooming like never before. They also offer opportunities to make money on the liquidity supply.

In May, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram messenger, announced that Telegram is shutting down the TON project due to never-ending opposition from the US SEC. Durov suggested that the situation may change in the future, but for now, technological and financial projects are very much dependent on the position of the United States.

PayPal has rolled out a feature of buying and selling Bitcoin and other coins for 300 million of its American users. This is a huge step towards the adoption of cryptocurrencies, which already resulted in a huge increase in the number of transactions.

Looking back, we can say that the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected almost all areas of life and the economy, has had a positive impact on the crypto industry. And it is hardly surprising since with inflation and political problems, people are looking for a place to keep their assets outside the reach of banks or the government. And sooner or later, they discover cryptocurrency as a decentralized and anonymous way to manage personal finances. A way that is available to absolutely everyone who has access to the Internet.


The text and media from Neon Revolt's articles that cover new information from a whistleblower regarding Seth Rich will be ported to this post as it becomes available.

Archives: Part 1|Part 2


At The Highest Levels

This is the kind of series I’d hope I’d never have to write.

And yet, here we are. After three years of doing my best to serve the groundswell that is the Patriot movement in the United States, and six total, being on the total warpath for Trump, I must now bring to you what are possibly the most important articles I will ever have to write which will reveal corruption, and contempt for the American people at the highest levels. This will be a three part series, released over the next few hours, so please, pay close attention to everything I’m about to tell you, because the future of the Republic now hangs in the balance.

I also sincerely hope that everyone Marching and demonstrating in DC today takes the time to read this and inform everyone around them about this series, as you will not know what to do unless you read them. The information contained within will be that vital, and you must understand it.

But I need to set the stage first. To understand everything I’m about to tell you, we have to go back; back to the fateful night of July 26th, 2016, when the then 27-year-old Seth Rich was found with two gunshot wounds in his back in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in DC, near his favorite bar.

Rich would succumb to his wounds shortly thereafter, leading to rampant speculation as to the motive for his murder, and despite his family suing various individuals and corporations along the way, many were still left thinking that Rich was murdered by the the DNC and the Clinton Machine for, they speculated, leaking incriminating DNC files to Julian Assange and Wikileaks, eventually causing Hillary to lose the 2016 election, and to fuel the then-nascent Pizzagate investigations, as millions of concerned patriots became aware of just what exactly these leaked e-mails implied. After much research and deliberation, a large contingent of the community would go on to posit that two MS-13 gang members had been involved in the murder of Seth Rich, acting as guns for hire in a not-so-random hit. Two potential suspects would turn up dead in a nearby area shortly thereafter; perhaps the result of a kind of clean-up job.

So the emails were out in the wild, Hillary would lose, Pizzagate would take off, and Seth Rich would end up dead. That was how this series of events was understood by many, and for many, that’s precisely where it all ended. Many would go on to honor Rich’s memory, but the case was effectively dead and most of the world had moved on.

That is, until today.

Thanks to new whistleblower testimony, a connection has come to light.

A name, in fact:

Joseph Risoti

QDAO DeFi Weekly Update #22

https://preview.redd.it/4rtevqm9co961.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8d6a677957798c14dfff362f5fefef960c3c5cc

Welcome to 2021, QDAO DeFi lovers! We’re happy to see you all in a good mood and in good health. The New Year holidays have just ended but we are ready to share some interesting updates! Jump in!

Cryptocurrencies and DeFi coin market analysis

The crypto market is in a zero-gravity zone now. We saw a massive rise to $34,500 for Bitcoin and $1,150 for Ethereum, followed right after by a colossal drop for Bitcoin to $29,000. At the time of writing, the BTC price was holding above the $31,000 mark but the smell of correction is felt in the air.

The DeFi market is performing well these days. The total value locked in DeFi sees its highest point at $17.8 billion. Tokens have begun to grow too. Here are the changes in price for some of the popular DeFi coins:

  • ChainLink: +16.58%
  • Aave: +41.71%
  • yearn.finance: +4.56%
  • Compound: +14.73%

The situation in the market can be called “grab and pray”. Altcoin began to boom right after Bitcoin but the main cryptocurrency seems to be preparing for the correction.

DeFi news

There is a lot of news about DeFi. Here are the most important events of the week:

  • ETH price finally overcame the $1,000 mark. Of course, BTC helped it to surpass the long-awaited height but we see how Ethereum 2.0 is already bringing positive results for the network.
  • Cover Protocol lost 97% of its price. Just before the New Year, a suspected hacker exploited the Cover staking protocol, inflating the token supply by printing over 40 quintillion "coins". He managed to drain out over $5 million. The token price dropped almost to zero but the project management team came back with a compensation plan.
  • The times of high ETH fees are back. Recently, fees in the Ethereum network grew to the August levels, when DeFi projects were booming hard. Aavegotchi even had to postpone their NFT game launch. Now, fees remain inflated.

QDAO DeFi updates

What a fucking time to be alive

Where do I start. If you've been in Bitcoin/ crypto before this recent pump congratulations, we've been waiting for this for years. I got int a year and a half ago and I heard of all the amazing things that happened during the 2017 bull run; Christmas every morning, old friends start messaging you, feeling like an absolute genius and it all seemed like a distant dream, but my god Bitcoin has this habit of going much further much faster than you could ever imagine and I guess that's part of why we're here.

It still hasn't fully registered to me how much my life has changed within the past month and what has been happening in general. We are in the midst, right in the absolute middle, of one of the largest events in history. We are witnessing the perfect storm come together, with the FED printing, the supply of bitcoin showing its true colors and my god is it amazing.

Im making this post to remind you to STOP, look away from the charts for a minute, close your crypto trackers, look around you and take a deep fucking breath. Smell the roses god damnit. I've been locked indoors for the past year but Bitcoin has made me feel the most alive I've ever felt in my entire life. We are not going to be here forever and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I love this community through the ups and down and I love all you, at 3k and 35k <3.
