I repeatedly said an honest and fair price for Monero is about $4 to $5 by this fall.
I think next year we may see $40.  I think by 2020 we will see $2000, and by 2030 we may see $100,000+.

All we (the developers) know is we aren't pushing new inventions (ZeroLedger, etc) to Github @ 10 cents just bug fixes and features. If 20 cents comes we will push some of it. So by suppressing the price you are preventing new technology releases.

full spectrum
The DOA event caused a dumpocalypse on them forcing them to absorb even more losses.  This single entity that controls the ETh price is underwater as fuck now and probably desperate to rid himself of some of those scamtokens.  I have a feeling the only reason it made it that high of value in the first place is the Eth devs themselves sent a bunch of Eth to Poloniex, then used those coins for collateral to margin long it to the moon while liquidating shoters.  Dan Larimer actually talked about attempting doing that himself once in the past when BTS was in the dumpster but he chickened out.  Him and Vitalik have been speaking a bit these days and maybe he gave Vitalik the idea.

Popsicle and you speak the same truth:

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-23#1487653

felipelalli: mircea_popescu: why they are so distance from the reality? They continue to buy this shit.
mircea_popescu: who "they" ?
felipelalli: ethereum community
mircea_popescu: think for a moment how a shitshow like poloniex works. you make 1mn scamtokens out of thin air. you send them to a "margined" "exchange" website. you use the "margin" 1mn scamtokens provide to... buy 1mn more! now you have enough "marginable assets" ie scamtokens to... buy 1mn more! and if the price goes up... 1mn more!
mircea_popescu: soon enough you're sitting on an account that is still worth the 0 it was worth to begin with, except that has also bought 10x to 100x of the same scamtokens. so... "they are buying" ? yeah, sure. and paying with what ?
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: true.
mircea_popescu: with any luck someone actually sends actual bitcoin to either "buy" the stuff to "mommentum trade" or else you know "short it". either way it's a win - your 0 value scamcoin attracted some actual money!
felipelalli: and a "premined" coin (dev coins) is easy to inflate the final marketcap: I just create 1`000`000`000`000`000`000 coins and sell to my mum at $ 0.01
felipelalli: the same as Ripple
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: what time is it in Argentina?? It's late, isn't? Here is 5 AM.
mircea_popescu: same.
felipelalli: are you waking up or haven't you sleep yet? lol
BingoBoingo: He's just back from enjoying the vibrant local nightlife
mircea_popescu: i'm on the tail end of an orgy.

calling ETH 'the expendable pawns' gives me paranoia, but yeah, sinking the SS ETH (cuz inflation and hacks and hardforks), will likely damper any foolish attempt to challenge BTC authority, and it is not like BTC isn't loaded with spooks.

Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".

Time to go to bed and try again next week?


Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone!

Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks.

Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.

Launch is being moved to 11PM EST!

... seriously?


Just woke up to this :( How many hours have I lost? Oh, well.  Time to git pull and launch it again.

Medium of Exchange. Wikipedia says a medium of exchange must possess the following attributes to be widely accepted and stable as a medium of exchange:

    Value common assets
    Common and accessible
    Constant utility
    Low cost of preservation
    Transportability
    Divisibility
    High market value in relation to volume and weight
    Recognizability
    Resistance to counterfeiting

Bitcoin clearly fails in a couple of these areas (common and accessible, low cost of preservation, recognizability), but astoundingly exceeds in others (counterfeiting resistance, divisibility, transportability). Many of these failures at the moment will get much better over time. Technology always starts out inaccessible and expensive to maintain and manage. Costs go down over time and the same will happen for Bitcoin although mining sure puts a wrinkle in that equation. Many people focus on one part of the “medium” of exchange though, which the fart-smelling pundits from Bitcoin Uncensored constantly repeat, is just a message passing system and nothing spectacularly innovative or interesting.

Judgement red flag:  When your cryptocurrency start-up has one year of success so you buy a $1,100,000 mansion.

I personally think the interesting story here is how he moved all that dinero through Coinbase without so much as wrinkle forming on Brian Armstrong's penis-shaped head.

And here's my quote for the day:
...
I do think that Monero is probably the best altcoin right now, since it actually does something major that Bitcoin doesn't, even if its scaling is terrible and it'll probably be replaced by a Bitcoin sidechain someday. Achieving Monero-style anonymity for everyone should be a long-term goal of Bitcoin.

Anyone holding eth should feel lucky for maintaining a value equal to or above $7 usd. Honestly, I can't see a world where eth maintains that value, sadly.

reality is baseline was 75-cents, but yeah this n00b called the current market, $7 bust that and it is a slick slide down.

it's all about getting as much bitcoin as possible out of the gullible before the supply of gullible people stops. that's the killer app of any alt.

in the end there will be a token for everyone, but how many networks/blockchains is up for grabs ... yeh lots o shit coins ... but a few of them will turn into golden chains ;)

"military science assumes that the bigger the army, the stronger it is. On the other hand, only vaguely do they recognize that during military combat the final strength of an army is also its true physical capacity multiplied by one unknown x. This x is none other than the spirit of the troops measured as the greater or lesser desire to fight and confront danger. Men with the desire to fight, who also understand why they are fighting, regardless of who they are fighting, whether under the command of military geniuses or those of normal intelligence, fighting with clubs or with machine guns that fire thirty rounds a minute, these men will put themselves under the most advantageous conditions for fighting and they will triumph."

Bitcoin would hard fork if the encryption protocol was broken tomorrow and everyone's coins ended up in one address. So no, the philosophies aren't the problem. It's the people who manage it. Whether it be 1, 2, 10 or 10 billion people.

??

BTC would not hard-fork if you mistakenly sent $100mill to the wrong address (The GOX funds).

ETH is hard-forking because they sent $100mil to the wrong address (The DAO address).

There is a big difference in the philosophies.

Blogging and tax evasion

1. U blog on steem, post ur tits

2. U earn STEEM and sell them for Monero

3. U enjoy tax evasion and buy some coke on the deep net market

In a certain way, one could say that Monero has already replaced bitcoin in its original conception, namely as an anarchist currency.  Bitcoin has, unfortenately, become an half-institutionalized gambling/speculating tool with more and more demand for state justice, legal interference, and "mainstream regulation".   Most of the market cap of bitcoin is made of speculation as just another financial tool in the big toolbox of financial gamblers, and only a minuscule tiny fraction is devoted to the original goal of bitcoin, which was freedom from state, law and finance.  Monero still has most of that promise, as I don't think that its market cap is mainly driven by financial gamblers.  However, it is true that monero is, as far as I know, not (yet ?) used as a genuine currency, as bitcoin was at a certain point, on the dark net.

Dash is going down and never coming back up, because:

Dash, a cryptocurrency that formerly went by the name Darkcoin, received substantial media attention when a few mid-sized markets implemented it in 2014. Two years later, Dash hasn’t been implemented on any online dark net markets worth noting.
