LEO

Liarus_

I hope to not see exchange coins there anymore: Such as BNB, LEO, OKB, CRO, KCS, GT, HT

Designer_Restaurant1

LEO? Wth is that? And why is it in the top 20?

fleeyevegans

Looks like most of the stablecoins probably. I think shib and tron will probably fade. Don't know anything about LEO.

chance_waters

SOL, SHIB, TRON, AVAX, LEO will all be dead and buried.

French_physicist

What the hell even is LEO? Ranked 21 on CoinGecko right now

EmuGroundbreaking348

If I were to guess, I'd go with LEO, TRON and SHIB. Going by my track record, they'll probably wind up top 10

Whole_Visible

LEO is the Bitfinex token. It won't last in the top 20. TRON should fall out. It had major hype in 2017 and has managed to hang on but I think it'll fall to obscurity eventually

In your example, any money going through the business is reported. Cash transactions are still reported, businesses file taxes too. Any money in their business accounts is reported. Cash and receivables is reported. Any money flowing through a business as cash transactions is reported. If you're trying to imply someone is taking said money and then only using it for purely cash transactions under the table, sure that might not be reported immediately, but unless you plan to only ever keep that stored in a mattress at some point it has to be reported once it enters a monetary system as stored value in a bank account or through the purchase of assets. A small business is not capable of washing 5 mil, you need many small businesses to spread it out over in order to not raise any alarm bells, and even then once your other nefarious income sources are discovered you best believe they'll start cutting up your mattresses and seizing anything you can't prove as legal income through a paper trail. And my comment was about banks reporting currency movement. Right now anything 10k or over is automatically reported through swift, and central banks are currently looking to make the requirement a smaller increment, somewhere in the hundreds. We already track cash transactions partially right now, whenever you withdraw money from a banking system the serial numbers of every bill you receive has been recorded, they won't know where you take it and what you did with it until that money is deposited back into another bank somewhere, but central banks are aware of how much money you have and how much is in supply because we built gigantic info systems purposefully to track how money moves and where it goes. A drug dealer operating on the periphery of the banking system still needs to at some point interact with the banking system, you can't clean cash without doing so. But the beautiful thing about all these speculative ledgers that people in here are gambling on is the best utility for this technology as a monetary system is its transparency with each transaction. Everyone with an internet connection can see the complete value of your wallet/bank account at all times, and every single exchange you've ever made. That is what we're moving towards, using a public ledger so that all digital transactions are tracked at all times no matter the increments or sum. You buying a pack of gum costs the same amount in permanently recording as someone trying to move millions to wash through a business. And it's that paper trail that banks/LEO use to swing the legal axe.

"Besides stable coins and let’s also take out the obvious fan hated coins doge and solana" BNB, WBTC, UNUS SED LEO I have owned SOL, DOGE, and ETC, but probably wouldn't buy again.

Simke11

Going by current 25 on CMC and excluding stable coins - ADA, Doge, Tron, Shib, LEO, TON, ETC

LitecoinCale

Forgot LEO was even in the top 25

HearthAttakk

Correct answer is: LEO, TRON & ETC Hive mind answer is: SOL

Available-Top-1160

I don't know what LEO token is

C01n_sh1LL

Have warrants been obtained this way though? That's a more important question. LEO's can make some educated guesses from on-chain data, then use that to get warrants to collect the *real* evidence.

throttledog

In other news we just saved 3 cosmonauts from death as the ISS breaks down. Backchannel LEO?

Ferdo306

What is LEO doing in top 25?

diomediocre

Basically all of them? If you're familiar with the blockchain trilemma, a lot of new chains recognize Ethereum's and Bitcoin's scalability issues early on and focused hard on that, at the concession of decentralization mostly. Most of Ethereum's L2's are highly centralized/not real L2s yet, chain that use Tendermint consensus have small validator sets by default and some even go smaller than necessary (Cosmos, BSC, Polygon), Cardano uses a very unique programming language and coin tracking model that makes it hard to make scalable smart transactions on (eUTXO), XRP has its SEC issue and Ripple dependency/steady unlocks with a consensus model that requires a high consensus rate, DOGE has a number of really weird whale numbers despite being the people's currency, TRON is even more centralized than BSC and basically owned by Justin Sun, Polkadot's rent mechanism is hard for genuine small teams to get past, Avalanche has some very interesting technical views for distributed systems with its chief team members that are far from the standard, XLM, ICP, APT, and most exchange chains like OKB, CRO, LEO, KCS are pretty hyper centralized whether by wallet, control, or validators. Hedera is largely owned by corporations, Algorand has a borked governance model, Fantom had unworkable governance till recently as a large number of validators wouldn't vote, etc. Honestly almost all chains have significant issues you can find if you dig into them. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, and Litecoin are generally the most accepted as "their issues are easily visible but they're still decentralized enough to be secure and function". This isn't to say don't look into other stuff, you literally can't start decentralized, but it's important to be critical and aware of concessions and weaknesses in what you put money into.

MaeronTargaryen

Meh BNB’s market cap is huge, it won’t get great returns now CRO has a bad reputation now because of the slashed rewards HT I wouldn’t touch because of Justin Sun And then what? OKB? LEO? Nothing that I’m excited to buy really

AAAJade

I was very sad to learn a colleague fell for one of these. She lost her savings...and I haven't asked the specific amount- bc well it sucks- yet it was at least 30k ( im thinking it was 5k, 30k then 100k, for 135k total- from what she said, 3 amounts she added more over time....i share so you ALL see how they lure peope in with a small amount..then larger..till they get you to sign over it all) she is battling cancer right now..chemo even... So I helped her track a BTC transaction from her acct that is NOW closed in that investment website- she had a screen shot picture of some entries from when it opened..- and what I hope you all will hear- they put her funds in a pool... tracking the transactions thru the blockchain...and we found info to turn over to LEO...this scam had a legal business registration and had registered to be able to hold identities via FINCEN... so she, with her baaic understanding thought- OK this is LEGIT- no it wasnt... yet she really thought bc of those factors.. they were. I need people to hear the extent they are going through..and it IS worth it, they steal a half million from a few people they can grow it in a pool and exit out...in multiples...its a longer running con...yet...they are doing this... and if anyone else experiences this - trace the transactions bc they don't think anyone will...and there is information there.. we found email addresses we were able to track people down...BC they think NO ONE WILL..so please if scammed ..trace as much as you can for information of who these people are..bc the low level scams like this, in compared to FTX level, they leave clues behind bc they honestly know LEO won't look thru it all... So please know they are stealing and multiplying their gains...and somehow they..in THIS situation have a tie to silver gate bank in San diego.. They seem to like taking bit coin to pool and exiting in USDC... I'm still attempting to get all the information I can from the tracing we have been doing...yet I can also affirm that LEO does NOT understand crypto. The CBI, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, those agents had NO understanding of the basics. So know that many USA LEO agencies, those feild agents, at this time, do NOT have conversational working knowledge of how crypto functions and moves, they do not know the KYC protocols...FINCEN, hard wallets, CEX/DEX.. I heard the conversation... ..why am I saying this... bc ... we in this "space" forget how little the public and the people whose jobs it is to protect USA finances... simply do NOT yet have the education... to even investigate a simple rug pull in crypto.. a business scammed it's clients and the CBI doesn't understand a liquididty pool ... They do NOT know anything about the DBDC either. That's kinda telling. If they don't know a USA digital currency is coming... how well are the agents trained in financial crimes Investigations? So I'm sharing this here bc Mr atty.. youre correct... I'm stunned how little people actually understand about crypto. I knew we were all early adopters and users.. I didn't realize HOW early. Be well all... and not your Keys/DRS... not yours.. Will define the coming era. 🤜🦍🤛

Emergency_Special849

How could I never hear of UNUS SED LEO?

sickvisionz

I want to say Bitfinex did something like this and it actually worked out pretty well for them and the users. The token they issued was $LEO. > But I wonder what is in it for those investors (or gamblers) who are willing to buy these tokenised claims. Same thing as any investor: they hope that when they want to sell/redeem, the value will be higher than it was when they bought it.

Kaizen_Kintsgui

You transaction is easily blocked by your bank. They flip a switch. They have complete control and visibility into your transactions. LEO doesn't have any trouble gaining access to someone's transaction history. Care to try again?

Setyman

You heard it here first folks: USDT, BUSD, BNB, ATOM and LEO will reach $0 this year. Source: Classic crypto reddit scammer.

PresidentOfBitcoin

While this reveal was quite lame, it was also one of the most level headed descriptions of enforcement within the crytpto space I have ever heard from US LEO's. They identified a bad actor, and removed them as is their job. Good on them.

funkinaround

The court filings say that, at times, like when Crypto Capital Corp's assets were seized by the Polish, Portuguese, UK, and US governments, Tether wasn't backed. They raised money through the LEO token. From April - July, Tether's market cap dropped from $83B to $65B, so they had at least $17B to send to redeemers.

ATOM has surpassed LEO to claim top 21

Dropped the lawsuit* Only LEO's/the State can "bring charges".

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Cointelegraph looks back on the best and worst-performing cryptocurrencies of 2022 among the top 100 assets by market capitalization. GMX (GMX) is the best-performing digital asset in 2022, while TON (TON) and Unus Sed Leo (LEO) are among the worst performers. The CIX100 index fell nearly 68% YTD, suggesting most top coins underperformed in 2022. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Soon SOL will lose top 20 to LEO Market cap difference is less than $100m

Magners17

I remember seeing prices of some of these cryptocurrencies less than a year ago and thinking they were a steal of a deal. According to CoinGecko the best performing coins that are currently in the top 25 last year are: LEO -2.2% OKB -19.8% TRX -30.2% TON -45.4% BNB -54.1% Notable mention closely outside top 25 currently is XMR at -30.2%

shin_jury

SOL got passed by LEO in marketcap rank and is now out of the top 20

rlcoyote

An AWOL VIP CEO wanted by LEO

chuck_portis

It really is an anomaly when you look at the charts. The market cap vs. the volume makes it stand out big time. I mean it's a $3.4B market cap token that traded $770K volume yesterday. Chainlink, right underneath at a $3B market cap traded $259M volume over 24H. Monero @ $2.6B market cap, $81M in 24H. Bottom line is, there are plenty of sub-$10M market cap coins that have higher 24H trade volumes than LEO. Think about that. Coins with less than 1% of their market cap.

Nox_Lucis

LEO has always been such a weird little bump in the crypto charts. The large-cap token around which nothing happens. Not even a shill in my Reddit feed. This post explains so much.

Savik519

It was incredibly unlikely that LEO token holders would ever get any payout up until Feb 2022, I suppose Bitfinex could have decided to go full degen and leverage loan their LEO tokens at that point.

chuck_portis

Well, it would fit the mold of a "collateral coin". That is, a coin where only a very small percentage trades openly, while the vast majority is held by the issuer and used as an asset on a balance sheet. It's the exact MO from SBF and their SRM/FTT accounting tricks. I haven't seen any proof that Bitfinex is using the LEO token in this manner, but the fact is that it COULD be used in the exact same way.

Savik519

They aren't meant to be distributed at a later date. Bitfinex tried to sell them back in 2016 as a way to get funds to cover the loss of the hack. Not all the coins were purchased so they kept the large chunk of them. Accordingly, if Bitfinex received the stolen BTC back then they will get a proportionate chunk of it since they hold the most LEO tokens. I get the witch hunt for exchange tokens, but I don't see this one as any real concern.

Savik519

LEO token was created as a way to monetize the loss from the hack in 2016. The intent is for token holders to be repaid when/if Bitfinex recovers the stolen BTC.

Kappatalizable

1. Gains Network (GNS) 2. Trust Wallet Token (TWT) 3. GMX 4. Bitgert (BRISE) 5. UNUS SED LEO (LEO) Saved you a click

geekbread

It's not everyday that you see a trust wallet token outperforming a decentralized exchange token and a centralized exchange stable coin. But hey, at least the LEO token is holding its own with a solid 4.2% gain. All jokes aside, it's important to remember that investing in cryptocurrency can be risky and it's always a good idea to do your research before jumping in. Happy trading!

efadd

Can anyone explain LEO to me? I know it is an exchange token for Bitfinex, but I really don't get how it can have such a massive market cap but such low volume. It routinely seems to have like a ~$1-2 million dollar volume, against a $3.5 billion market cap. No other top 100 coin seems to have that big of a disparity. Been wondering about that since noticing it a few months back, but couldn't find that much info about it, and honestly didn't look that hard because I have very little interest in exchange tokens.

Wonzky

Wtf is LEO

Savik519

It was issued when the big Bifinex hack happened. Basically monetized the debt and assuming the US returns the recovered BTC to Bitfinex then those LEO holders should get paid nicely.

smr_rst

It is rank 19, lol. Buyback ponzi. What is really bad is Bitfinex owns Tether, so if anything happens with LEO, crypto goes -90% from current values.

smr_rst

WTF is LEO in Bitfinex? 2.5B in a fee saving coin?

MyOtherAcctsAPorsche

Ah, yes, Leonardo (LEO) Messi, Lionel's cousin, who doesn't play football nor is any celebrity at all.

They are lucky they are a protected class and have top notch lawyers. Anyone in his crew will crack under LEO pressure and prison time.

erdal_mutlu

Who falls first? OKB, LEO, HT, KCS, CRO

big--if-true

> cash equivalents This doesnt mean what you think it does. FTT was FTX's cash equivalent. LEO might be tethers own version.

lainmib

You do understand that the very reason you ride/drive on roads are because of taxes. Even the electricity you use, are subsidized by taxes. Even school and food. Firefighters and LEO are paid for by taxes. What you should be focused on is how a government uses said tax money.

Why does UNUS SED LEO always seem to do the inverse of whatever the overall crypto market is doing?

The first time LEO uses it in court the secret would be out. Not saying it can't be done, just that it hasnt yet.

Lol, why is SHIB in top 15, why is LEO in top 20...

It has to be the current #19 coin by Mcap at the moment called: **UNUS SED LEO** I mean...WTF!

btcethmaxi

LEO is the bitfinex coin.

jaymeetee

I hadn't seen this before but it's a fascinating comparison of coins that have actually fared pretty well this bear market, like LEO and XCN

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; UNUS SED LEO (LEO) rose to a one-week high on Thursday, as prices rebounded following a three-day losing streak. Another token which rebounded in today’s session was cosmos (ATOM), which climbed higher following five straight days of declines. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

reddito321

TIL there's a coin named LEO

Visible-Ad743

Never used. Don’t own any but something about UNUS SED LEO jumps at me every time I open the charts

Kaiisim

A big feature of many cryptocurrencies are an open ledger that allows anyone to track transactions across a blockchain. Tornado Cash allowed you to "mix" your coins to anonymise them and prevent tracking across the blockchain. Obviously this is very useful for anyone attempting to evade scrutiny. Ie scammers, drug dealers, hackers, sanctioned individuals, privacy maxis For example if LEO wanted to track a bitcoin payment they made to a dealer on the dark web they'd find the coins end up getting tumbled somewhere along the way. The goal is to break the line of evidence. I think the sub is overreacting a little bit. I personally think these kinds of services are more useful for the very rich to hide their money, which goes against what I think crypto is about.

RLJ05

I’m holding 30% BTC, 30% LEO, 20% PAXG and 15% XCN. Few extra percent in some other coins. Overall I’m up 18% this year, approx $75k No other investments

DirtyDiamonds

You forgot UNUS SED LEO, a CEX token that is quite literally funded by Satoshi. Nice chart tho.

jmlinpt

Never heard of LEO, ranking #20. What is it about?

BakedPotato840

Something's not right about this table though... LEO, EVMOS, PAXG, TUSD and FRAX all have values over 1 million. Surely I'm misinterpreting this somehow

Apocalipse16

We’re on the same page. I’m gonna buy more LEO tokens just in case.

Sweetnowember4

The point is we’re still hodling no matter what. I’ve also bought LEO tokens.

quidditchflipflops

I would like to go before the year 2020 so I'd be able to buy LEO at low prices 😂

-Bongo-Drums-

Such requests usually don’t come via email. Nor do the responses. You’re typically served the court order by an LEO, so yeah it’s stinks a little here.

Sweetnowember4

Still buying more LEO tokens.

Cat_Poster

Exchanges have been failing and being shut down by LEO as long as crypto has been traded. It's no gonna kill the cryptoverse if another dies, even a big ass one.

honestlyimeanreally

CAUSE LEO DICAPRIO IN THE MOVIE BROO LMAOOooOoo Seriously though

binancetomatoe

If the US government keeps on printing dollars, then yeah its gonna die. I'm DCAing on bitcoin and some other altcoins like LEO on Bitfinex just in case.

Sweetnowember4

Just want to say that you’re super cool! And you inspired me to buy more crypto. Probably will buy LEO tokens.

NeufganBen

We can start buying now. I’ve bought LEO tokens for example.

illustrious-Egg2

I noticed that BNB is not down as much as many other alts. Also LEO has done very well. I am not sure why but it is up a lot YTD and has held up very well. Anyone know why? Just curious. I do not own it...

New_Orange96

I consider myself as a hodler at some point. But I also buying LEO tokens. So, active user I guess.

Tsubasa_sama

Tbh most exchange tokens have tanked less than the general market. BNB and FTT have outperformed bitcoin in the bear while LEO (bitfinex coin) was pushing all time highs earlier this year while everything else nuked.

RedPlat

LEO. Don't know much about it but looked at it's chart the other day and it's strong.

ProteusXists

Sure, there are literally shitcoins that are down less than Amazon from 52-week highs lol LEO is down 28% from 52-week high. Amazon is down 40%+ from 52-week high. The point is: you really have no clue what you're talking about.

i_sawyer_n00dz

Bullish on HIVE blockchain, halving deposits between HIVE dollar (~20% APR) & the other half used to delegate towards block producers. Protip: delegate to Leo Finance as they reward you daily in LEO. Bullish as well on PAW, a Nano fork, basically Bananos little brother. It has a market cap of ~$500k currently. Distribution is done primarily via social media on their Twitter & Discord, with some on Reddit - similar to the OG Nano Captcha faucets distribution. They offer staking rewards with an auto compounding feature, under a 3 or 6 month contract. The 6 month contract APR has around a 700% yield. Both are some pretty rad projects

MrBanana212

You know what's weird? LEO's been in the top 25 for months (currently#15). And I don't think I've ever heard anyone here mention it. Like ever. Anyone here actually own a stack?

AvengerDr

Yeah, the counterargument is that you might miss the upside of a potential new entry. If things stay like this for example, I think that next month a coin that I never heard before (LEO) might overtake both Avax and Shiba. I chose that strategy, because if I am not mistaken, "real" ETFs behave like that. Like if you get booted out of the S&P500, the ETFs that track that index will sell your shares and have to buy those of the new company.

sQtWLgK

they stayed fully backed all the time, just not by cash. their secured loan to Bitfinex challenged their liquidity (at least until Bitfinex completed the LEO sale a few weeks afterwards) but never their backing

soscurious

LEO is the weirdest crypto. Never seems to be affected much by market conditions. And it's apparently not designed to exist forever? It's also been a top 20 crypto for a long time and people barely mention it.

chuck_portis

Excluding stablecoins, of the current top 10, BTC, ETH, BNB, ADA, XRP, DOGE, TRON were at top coins in 2018 (70%). The others are SOL, DOT, LEO. Not that it's super relevant anyway.

WinterfuryZX

L1s, ATOM, ALGO, FTM, ATOM, ETH, SOL ETc.. CHAINLINK, most used oracle. BAT, real and great utility. Exchange tokens, LEO, BNB etc. All metaverse shit and defi crap will crash hard.

Surfif456

Everytime the market dumps, LEO makes a small pump with no one noticing. It has been doing that since its existence and now it is in the top 15. If the market dumps further, it will be top 10

Surfif456

So.. is anyone going to explain LEO coin? It is the only coin that has a negative correlation with the market and now it is quietly in the top 15

Strange-Scientist965

I'm loading up on all exchange tokens from BNB, KCS, LEO, & CRO. They've held up their weight so far and when the dusts settles and market is risk on again, I will deploy from them into low cap alts. Sounds like a great plan?

b0urner

LOL LEO token overtook Litecoins market cap today with $2Million trading volume over past 24 hours vs Litecoins $405Million. What the fuck is this market, fundamentals and utility mean nothing.

nasabeam7

have I just not been paying attention or has LEO got high in the mcap rankings recently. Seems to have been holding up well against the general market fall too

Surfif456

Can anyone please enlighten me about LEO coin? It keeps going up whenever the market crashes

New_Orange96

Bitcoin can’t be banned. You can ban yourself from BTC. I want to be financial free and that’s why I hold it plus I bought LEO tokens just in case.

archer4364

UNUS SED LEO, #18 crypto by market cap... Launched in 2019, but I've pretty much never heard anything about it. And get this... >unlike many other cryptocurrencies out there, it is not designed to exist forever. wtf?

pingusuperfan

Wasn’t LEO specifically designed to self terminate after so long?

MilesPower

I use livecoinwatch so completely forgot Bitfinex LEO exists but 100% agree. I can see shib sticking around just because its so cheap comparatively and has a lot of followers but in the grand scheme of things I don't see anything but BTC and ETH having staying power. Provided the merge doesnt implode ETH that is, in which case all bets are off.

CounterAdmirable4218

Should be easy enough to guess, here they are in descending order: 3. Tether (USDT) 9. Solana (SOL) 13. TRON (TRX) 15. Avalanche (AVAX) 18. UNUS SED LEO (LEO)
