Title: The Rogue Wave
Post by: Traxo on June 24, 2019, 03:16:53 PM
A post in the subject: 

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/ptlyfl

The post is a follow up on the discussion about increasing volatility and a collapse of the Bitcoin (Core), 
comments about x100 leverages and calm before the storm (charts included).

Quote
I now posit that cryptocosm will appear to be nearly dead from 2024.35 – 2028.65.

Following up the discussion above and in further support of this conceptualization of increasing volatility and collapse for the fake Core BitcOn (which everyone thinks is Bitcoin) whilst the legacy, real, immutable, Satoshi “v0.1” Bitcoin will continue rising but most people having been fooled and thought Bitcoin had died as the price and the Bitcoin forgery named Bitcoin Core craters to ~$775, it appears that crypto is being intentionally pumped up now for a big crash (perhaps May 2020 at the halving) so that public confidence can be directed towards Facebook’s 666 Libra (https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/facebook-s-libra-bitcoin-trump-israel-666-orwellian-dystopia) as the 2020.05 – 2024.35 private wave gives way to the 2024.35 – 2028.65 public wave before the final phase transition moonshot private wave peak in 2032.95

This guy is a crackpot. His bizarre conspiracy theories should be contained to one thread. As you know, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51584165#msg51584165) there is already a thread dedicated to his Alex Jonesesque theories as well as those of the BSV'ers.

Let's keep the lunatic fringe all in one place rather than polluting Speculation with new threads about altcoins overtaking Bitcoin. Thanks in advance.

The altcoin is “Core BitcOn” (aka Bitcoin Core developed by Blockstream), because “soft forks” do not exist except in the minds of people who think the game theory of proof-of-work has anything to do with anything other than Nick Szabo’s unforgeable costliness. The original, immutable, 1 MB blocks Satoshi “v0.1” Bitcoin is the and will forever be the only real Bitcoin that has unforgeable costliness. All forks of Bitcoin do not have this property. Core will be forced to hard fork and admit it has been an impostor. And then it will die along with all the other Bitcoin impostor forks such as BSV, BCH and perhaps also LTC. There is only one Bitcoin. And sheepeople love to be manipulated by propaganda and thus separated from their wealth. Cast your pearls at swine and you can join them when pigs get slaughtered. This is not anger. This is just reality. How I wish I could teach sheep to not be fools. As the Bible says, get some salve and apply it on your eyes so you can see more clearly.

From what I understood, he is referring to the Segwit soft fork from 2017, which would be "bitcoin core" and which addresses start with 3, whereas the old addresses starting with 1 would be the "real bitcoin". However, both adresses formats are bitcoin, because the miner majority signalled Segwit in 2017. Bitcoin is P2P, meaning it need consensus to run. If there is no consensus, we have hard forks, like BCH and BTG for example.

LOL, I invite anyone to read and find out for themselves. Anyone with basic intelligence can see I picked apart your completely illogical and baseless conspiracy theory. Every time I poked holes in your irrational game theory, you refused to address any of the points I made and proceeded to keep repeating yourself over and over. Your whole method of debate is intellectually dishonest. You merely repeat your baseless, unproven theories ad nauseam then pat yourself on the back for it.

Extremely few nodes exist on the network that would view your chain as valid, yet you keep peddling insane theories like "everyone is secretly running the version I'm clinging to from ages ago that can barely even sync with the network anymore." No, barely anyone is running 0.5.3 or earlier and you have absolutely no data to prove otherwise. You only have your own insane ramblings to offer as "proof." You bizarrely think just because coins are held in legacy addresses that everyone is running 0.5.3 or earlier and therefore wouldn't see your fork as a hard fork. You, of course, are completely fucking wrong, and now just look like a deranged homeless person in the street yelling nonsense at passersby.

Anyone with a basic technical understanding of hard forks knows the vast majority of the network will ignore your stupid fork. This is not only because their nodes would literally ignore the fork, but because very, very few Bitcoin users have any interest in opting into a hard forked chain where miners stole half of the BTC supply. You have no rational game theory that supports this logic. There are no economic actors on the network except for the attacking miners that are interested in playing out your conspiracy theory.

Not only do you not have any network evidence for your assertions, but you haven't begun to establish logically from a game theory perspective why the vast majority of users and BTC holders would fork their own software to join the miner attack on Segwit outputs.

The fact that you speak with authority while peddling complete nonsense is only enough to impress the dumbest of people, the lowest hanging fruit. You vastly overestimate the effects of your attitude on winning arguments.

These irrational ramblings speak for themselves. You just repeat this baseless, unproven bullshit over and over. Why would you expect anyone to keep engaging you? Why do you expect anyone to believe this as truth while simultaneously refusing to address the massive holes poked in your conspiracy theory?

You are not a respectable opponent. Your arguments are laughable, prima facie. No one in their right mind would keep arguing with someone who can be debunked by a small child.

And there you have it, folks. More irrational ramblings from an unhinged lunatic. This shit speaks for itself......

And LOL....."facts?" Holy fuck, if anyone thinks anything you've said is in the remote vicinity of fact then they clearly haven't learned the very basics of logic and epistemology.

You might as well add reptilian aliens to your conspiracy theory too. It wont take away a smidgen of validity at this point.

Anyone with a brain can see you are a) an unhinged lunatic, b) extremely intellectually dishonest, or c) both.

Bitcoin doesn't have a problem with consensus. It have always been scammers like Roger and Bitmain who decided to fork off because they were greedy and found a way to easily make hundreds of millions in profit.

Bitcoin is a powerhouse. You're either part of it or go your scammy own way. All forks we have seen chose the scammy way and paid the price for it. Never did the far majority of this economy doubt about what coin to support.

But it IS game theory that's keeping everything in Bitcoin together. If there's really a group of bad actors willing to shoulder the loss to take Bitcoin down, then there's also a group of miners who's willing to protect it because it aligns with their self-interests. What would the bad actors rather do?

Forwarding as an impartial messenger. Readers should have all arguments at their disposal so they can make an informed decision.


Quote from: Shelby
All [hard] forks we have seen chose the scammy way and paid the price for it. Never did the far majority of this economy doubt about what coin[hard fork] to support.


That’s correct.

But alas all the other fools in this thread forget that this “economic majority” (i.e. the ones with private keys hodling BTC) have not yet been asked to decide between Legacy and Core yet. That is because Core did a scammy “soft fork” pretending that miner signaling is equivalent to the economic majority. Those are not the same given that miners follow the economic majority because the coin with the greatest value can pay the most minted rewards and fees to miners for security.

That economic majority “vote” is coming soon. The impostor Core “soft fork” will be forced to defend its scam protocol by hard forking when the SegWit booty piles so high (millions of BTC in non-Legacy addresses (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@zoidsoft/ps8bey)) that some miners are incentivized to take the SegWit donations, which are “anyone can spend” (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/75107/why-non-segwit-nodes-do-not-reject-segwit-block-since-there-is-no-witness) (i.e. lacking a signing key for spending) in the Legacy protocol. At that juncture (which Craig Wright claims (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/bitco-i-n-will-collapse-to-usd775-price-soon) will be at the halving May 2020) everyone must decide which fork (Legacy or Core) to support.

Yet those who have been hodling their BTC in Legacy addresses anticipating this event, will receive a free airdrop of Core shitcoins for dumping (so we can buy moar Legacy BTC) while retaining their Legacy BTC. Whereas those idiots hodling their fake “BTC” in Core addresses will only receive Core shitcoins after this hard fork, so they will have no Legacy tokens to sell, :P. The Legacy miners will receive all of those idiots’ BTC in exchange for the miners protecting Satoshi’s immutable protocol from attempted forgeries such as Core.

Remember the value of Bitcoin only exists because of Nick Szabo’s unforgeable costliness (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/secrets-of-bitcoin-s-dystopian-valuation-model). For Bitcoin to have any value going forward, the unforgeability must be defended and thus Core and its mutation of the protocol must be defeated. Bitcoin is not destined to be a transaction system for the masses. The powers-that-be have put Facebook Libra here for that (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0). The powers-that-be (who may be indirectly paying some of these trolls in this thread to lie to you, because fleecing the minions is an integral part of their master plan of how to transition the world to Libra) put Bitcoin here to ultimately be a store-of-value only for the uber wealthy and reserve asset for the “stablecoin” Libra system after they destroy the value of the dollar with Bitcoin. The uber wealthy do not give a fuck about the “cute bunny rabbit”, witless minions and will gladly slaughter all of you taking the SegWit donations for themselves and kicking all you fools off onto the Libra 666 enslavement system. Get a fucking clue people. This snowflake world does not exist and was only propped up with debt. Now we head into the Grim Reaper payback period of misery and gnashing of teeth:

https://steemit.com/money/@anonymint/rise-of-hard-money-is-a-harbinger-of-misery

All the fools who think I am a nutjob are going to lose all their BTC. That’s going to be very funny. I tried to warn them, and they were too stupid to understand English. Lol.

Of course the paid trolls will reply with more vitriol because they’re very angry if they can’t achieve their objective to slaughter all the greater fools. They hate me for telling the truth. Of course they will spin it the other way. Readers just need to go read the entire linked discussion and think clearly.

Remember I told you so (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/57275/could-miners-possibly-steal-segwit-transactions-on-the-real-bitcoin). And remember these other trolls tried to fool all of you. I will be vindicated as I always am (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@anonymint/re-anonymint-is-monero-s-or-all-anonymity-broken-20170821t044703342z).

P.S. A couple of weeks ago I predicted (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/bitco-i-n-will-collapse-to-usd775-price-soon) this:

 “Soft forks” via miner signaling just delay the decision of the economic majority about the consensus.

When Core is forced to fork off after the Legacy protocol takes the SegWit UTXO as donations, then the economic majority will finally vote on the Core hard fork which has been masquerading as Bitcoin when in fact it has no claim to be Bitcoin, because the economic majority has not voted yet.

Indeed. I invite readers to re-read the linked thread where I already refuted your vacuous posturing. Some idiots who lack the ability to think clearly may be convinced by your nonsensical points, but that is okay because those idiots will lose all their BTC because they lack the intelligence to be worthy investors.


Anyone with basic intelligence can see […]


Anyone with above average intelligence can see that you’re not very intelligent.



Extremely few nodes exist on the network that would view your chain as valid


You continue to use this vacuous nonsense even though I already refuted in the cited thread. No need for me to repeat all my arguments again here.

The Legacy nodes can be turned on in 1 minute when the time comes. Miners go where the money and economic majority go. There is no technological difficulty in enforcing the Legacy protocol. Seesh there’s $10+ billion at stake here. You think the powers-that-be can’t afford programmers and a secret testnet that you can’t see.



Anyone with a basic technical understanding of hard forks knows the vast majority of the network will ignore your stupid fork.


The economic majority always sells the protocol which has mutated from Satoshi’s protocol and hard forked away from Satoshi’s immutable protocol. Because unforgeable costliness is the only attribute that gives Bitcoin any value. Without immutability, then politics could create unlimited forks of Bitcoin diluting the money supply. Also politics could potentially even raise the money supply limit of a fork. Politics is a slippery slope and reduces trust. That is why Satoshi locked the protocol at “v0.1” as he wrote. We discussed that already in the linked thread and quoted Satoshi. I will not rehash all of that again here. The readers can go to the linked thread instead.



This is not only because their nodes would literally ignore the fork, but because very, very few Bitcoin users have any interest in opting into a hard forked chain where miners stole half of the BTC supply.


Correct. The economic majority will not opt for the Core fork when it finally is forced to hard fork off from Satoshi’s Legacy protocol, because Core is a bug that enabled miners to spend Core’s “anyone can spend” BTC (presumably to themselves) and the only way to permanently repair that bug is to “burn their fingertips up to their armpits” of those foolish enough to hold Core addresses which donates their BTC to the future security of Bitcoin gained by punishing those fools who use buggy client software that spends their BTC to “anyone can spend” addresses. Who is foolish enough to be scammed by Core into spending their BTC to a “soft fork” that does not exist? Apparently we have a lot of fools in this world.

In short, the Core scam Bitc0n-job has caused BTC to be lost by convincing people to spend their BTC to “anyone can spend” addresses. How foolish is that?

Even Trezor still supports Legacy addresses (https://wiki.trezor.io/Address#Address_types). If users are foolish enough to configure their wallet to use Core’s scam, they deserve their fate.


Anyone with a brain can see you are a) an unhinged lunatic, b) extremely intellectually dishonest, or c) both.


Anyone with above average intellect can see that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed.




What the Shelby character didn't put into consideration was that his "Real Bitcoin" will split from Bitcoin, forking into a new chain, which has Segwit as "anyone" can spend.


Incorrect. Satoshi’s immutable protocol can’t fork from itself. Blockstream invented this term “soft fork” which really means:

Quote from: Blockscream Scam
Be a fool, trust us, and misconfigure your wallet to spend to addresses which Bitcoin can’t recognize and thus are spendable to anyone. ;)

And then tell all your worthless comrades to trade their lunch money on exchanges which also use similarly misconfigured clients and we’ll huddle together near the cliff as one-for-all-and-all-for-one sheepeople (http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/), so we can safely and assuredly fall over the cliff into the woodchipper together.

The “soft fork” exists only as an illusion for obedient idiots (https://youtu.be/kJ4SSvVbhLw?t=122) who huddle together in bankrupt “democracy” to destroy themselves as per the following depicted example (click the image to read about it):

The uber wealthy who control most of the BTC don’t give a fuck about your worthless lunch money exchanges. They trade on the OTC markets (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg51594428#msg51594428) in size.

Indeed! Core is effectively stealing your BTC (and eventually forcing miners to take it as donations for the defense against Core’s political corruption) by convincing you to spend your BTC to unrecognized addresses. The Core protocol is not Bitcoin. It is a hard fork masquerading as a “soft fork”. Only worthless fools incorrectly hallucinate to imagine and profess to the faithful (https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/ptks1w) that “really this is Bitcoin because we all voted and we will stand together near the cliff when the hard fuck/fork off comes”.  

The economic majority decide. And you worthless fools are not the economic majority.

the more you feed him the more he is going to create alt-accounts and post his crap here. just let his topics die since mods don't remove them.


So you’re calling for censorship.  

You want to force everyone to trust Core. Bitcoin is a trustless system, not a system that relies on politics for its survival.  

Note @Traxo and myself “arguing” about religion (https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/ptks1w) as some evidence that he is not my sockpuppet. You may also ask mods to check my IP address (I still login in the account in my real name) and note that both of our IP addresses are ISPs (mine in Philippines and his in Eastern Europe) so it’s impossible we are both places at the same time.

You’re dumber than a decaying tree stump.

i doubt a POW change would be necessary. if the forkers 51% attacked bitcoin to promote their fraud chain, they'd need to expend huge resources on an ongoing basis. not gonna happen. everyone knows bitcoin users can just wait out the attack at no cost.

if the forkers don't 51% attack bitcoin, the whole thing will literally go unnoticed. removing segwit would be an incompatible change for the vast majority of the network---not just users but exchanges, services. the fork would probably just be treated as an obscure shitcoin like "bitcoin god" or "bitcoin diamond".

at most, bitfinex would give the fork an alternate ticker and let the market sort it out. most exchanges would just ignore it. good luck to the miners.......i can't imagine anyone in the world that would buy the mining rewards on their fork.

Of course they do. Without those exchanges, the "uber wealthy" would only be trading among themselves, which would be so stupid. The "worthless lunch money exchanges" are what circulate cryptocurrencies to the masses. The "uber elite" wouldn't want to scam each other, do they? 8)

Following up the discussion above and in further support of this conceptualization of increasing volatility and collapse for the fake Core BitcOn (which everyone thinks is Bitcoin) whilst the legacy, real, immutable, Satoshi “v0.1” Bitcoin will continue rising but most people having been fooled and thought Bitcoin had died as the price and the Bitcoin forgery named Bitcoin Core craters to ~$775, it appears that crypto is being intentionally pumped up now for a big crash (perhaps May 2020 at the halving) so that public confidence can be directed towards Facebook’s 666 Libra (https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/facebook-s-libra-bitcoin-trump-israel-666-orwellian-dystopia) as the 2020.05 – 2024.35 private wave gives way to the 2024.35 – 2028.65 public wave before the final phase transition moonshot private wave peak in 2032.95

What exchanges, which are part of the economic majority, would be stupid enough to give that chain the ticker "BTC", or stupid enough to list it?


The uber wealthy who control most of the BTC don’t give a fuck about your worthless lunch money exchanges. They instead trade on the OTC markets (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg51594428#msg51594428) in size. The exchanges exist only to take BTC from greater fools (http://trilema.com/2015/argentina-for-business/#selection-111.0-111.271).

https://i.imgur.com/AGlbsO4.png

Of course they do.

Absolutely not. You didn’t even grok (http://trilema.com/2018/how-to-piss-me-the-fuck-off-a-guide/) the holistic meaning, implications and implied context of what I wrote.

Without those exchanges, the "uber wealthy" would only be trading among themselves, which would be so stupid. The "worthless lunch money exchanges" are what circulate cryptocurrencies to the masses. The "uber elite" wouldn't want to scam each other, do they? ???

Wealth, money, and even cryptocurrency (as well as all fungible resources) are power-law distributed. This means roughly that 80% of the people have less than 20% of the wealth. And the top 20% have more than 80%. The top 1% has nearly 33% of all wealth, money and cryptocurrency.

Thus for liquidity, the wealthy must trade between themselves, because the minions don’t have enough. That is why OTC markets exist, so the wealthy can find the liquidity they need, with a broker that matches wealthy clients for trades. It’s as if you don’t even know what distinguishes an OTC exchange from a “lunch money” exchange.

The wealthy own the “bucket shop”, lunch money exchanges which are the “casinos” for the minions. They create these gambling “casinos” so as to siphon off the meager 20% from the minions so that minions are entirely enslaved. This has always been the reality of the human civilization. Most people are destined to be slaves, because they are retarded.

Any exchanges hodling their BTC in Core addresses will be destroyed. And then the wealthy will replace them with new exchanges. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Even you can imagine that some huge wallets stored in Core addresses will be donated to the miners wherein surreptitiously the miner taking a SegWit donation is the original owner of those SegWit (UTXO) tokens. So in that way the wealthy owner of the exchange is able to surreptitiously steal everyone’s tokens back to himself without anyone being capable of knowing he did this. The wealthy are cunning and not retarded. Then create a new exchange. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. You fucking retard, do you have no clue about the way the real world actually functions. Your retarded snowflake fantasy does not exist except as an illusion in your 95 IQ brain.

Also not every exchange uses Core addresses. For example Bitfinex hodls their main wallet in Legacy address, not Core shitcoins.

I’m warned to never argue with an idiot because they’re incapable of perceiving (or even being embarrassed of and circumspect even to limit) the blight and wastage of the retardolade they spew:

Quote from: Shelby
A chain which miners can steal Bitcoins? Will the community let this happen?

Indeed! Core is effectively stealing your BTC (and eventually forcing miners to take it as donations for the defense against Core’s political corruption) by convincing you to spend your BTC to unrecognized addresses. The Core protocol is not Bitcoin. It is a hard fork masquerading as a “soft fork”. Only worthless fools incorrectly hallucinate to imagine and profess to the faithful (https://steemit.com/libra/@anonymint/ptks1w) that “really this is Bitcoin because we all voted and we will stand together near the cliff when the hard fuck/fork off comes”.

The economic majority decide. And you worthless fools are not the economic majority.

Anyone that buys, or sells are part of the economic majority.

The word ‘majority’ is not the word ‘whole’.

The economic majority is not the same as the economic whole.

The distribution of token hodlings is not uniform and thus the demographics have different vested interests. The economic minority which includes 80+% of the people (i.e. the retarded sheepeople) want a snowflake fantasy life which does not and can not exist.

The smaller number of individuals who comprise the economic majority want to protect the unforgeable costliness of Bitcoin because otherwise they and Bitcoin would fall into the woodchipper of politics (which would ultimately lead to debasing the token supply, stealing tokens such as Theymos’ proposing to nuke Satoshi’s tokens, and competing forks with no Schelling point nor Nash equilibrium). And by now the wealthy love to enslave all of you retards, because you retards always want to destroy everything. Besides it’s so easy to do, so entertaining, and because if they didn’t do it, someone else would.

Plus good luck to your "Real Bitcoin", your transactions/blocks will be rejected, https://coin.dance/nodes

Foolish bunny brain, you’re going to fall into the woodchipper (http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/). I already explained numerous times why your node counting nonsense is retarded. There is no need for me to repeat my slam dunk arguments over and over again.

You retards simply will never be capable of grokking how empty your brains are.



What's the point of promoting a "pseudo-analysis" FUD article posted on Steemit?

No one is promoting. Do you see a fucking advertisement for a shitcoin such as that one on your forum signature?

I am pointing out facts for benefit of intelligent people who do not want to lose all their BTC.

You’re a retard who is going to lose all your BTC. You have not understood anything you have read here. How low does your IQ need to be in order to be so incapable of assimilating logic.

The article author might get a few Steemit shitcoins and we might start a pointless discussion arguing with a flawed theory posted by a BSV supporter,but it's a waste of time.

Hey idiot, the real Bitcoin I am referring to is not BSV. I have many times made that clear. You fail to even fucking read, and then you fall into the woodchipper because you do not understand what you are attempting to read. The real Bitcoin I am referring to is Satoshi’s immutable “v0.1” protocol which contrary to your retarded bunny brain illogic, is still running as Bitcoin. The Core “soft fork” is compatible with the real Bitcoin until the SegWi booty piles up high enough, then it becomes a threat to the Nash equilibrium which provides a single longest chain. And the Schelling point becomes to take those donations to restore the security of the chain. That P2SH (i.e. 3 addresses) booty is already 6 million (https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/p2sh-statistics?orgId=1&from=now-5y&to=now) BTC! At $50,000 that will be a $300+ billion booty dangling in front of the miners’ faces. You retards are delusional if you think the miners are not going to take it. They can for example with $300 billion buy all the ASIC production for the foreseeable future to make it so.

If you think my purpose is to earn STEEM tokens or argue with retards, then you’re not very astute.

Do you fail to understand that I have been sent here to warn you, because the wealthy have a code of honor and must warn the minions before they fleece them. So that there is no fault on their side when you retards destroy yourselves as you always do.

It was Satoshi's fault Segwit was compatible with Bitcoin's protocol rules. That's why updating clients wasn't required to activate it....forward and backward compatibility between legacy and Segwit nodes. It was how Satoshi purposefully designed Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin's design is a scam, take it up with Satoshi.

No, I believe he belongs to a group of believers of the one "Real Bitcoin", the "immaculate" Bitcoin that Satoshi created. They run modified pre-Core nodes that sync with the network.

Satoshi (actually the global elite) outsmarted you.

Actually, Satoshi very clearly intended for new transaction types to be implemented exactly as Segwit was: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/126/

You just don't understand the game theory involved. You keep falsely asserting the most rational decision miners can make is to hard fork away from the majority of the network. You've done absolutely nothing to demonstrate this as a rational move. You perpetually fail to account for the lack of market value of the miner's fork. 6 million hard forked shitcoins valued at $0 is still $0.

The only people economically interested in this conspiracy theory are the miners stealing Segwit outputs. There are no other Bitcoin users who rationally, for economic reasons, would fork their software. Thus, you have not demonstrated why there would be any market demand for your shitcoin.

So you have Mircea Popescu, the colluding miners engaging in mass theft, and a few Aspergers-laden retards like yourself. That sure sounds like a network that will see mass/institutional adoption! We're all right behind you! ::)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you have completely misinterpreted the source of Bitcoin's value. It is derived from its network. You can't have a network with hundreds of users and no economic activity and have it retain any value.

It's just going to be like the last D&D game you played with your ragtag band of retard friends in your Mom's basement. No one will fucking notice you or care that you exist. Network data shows the network won't even notice you left. You would just be forking yourselves off the network into irrelevance.

Quote from: Shelby

"The miners must take it" =  LOL. No, because rational miners won't sacrifice a profitable Bitcoin mining operation for an incredibly risky and likely unprofitable shitcoin mining operation.

You neglect to account for the fact that your branch is an incompatible hard fork to virtually the entire Bitcoin network, and certainly to all economically relevant actors. You present zero evidence that economically relevant actors would support your fork. Please stop acting like the market will treat the mining rewards on your fork as "BTC." That's patently false and you know it. Just like Bitcoin Cash, your incompatible hard fork will be ignored by the market and treated like an altcoin.

I repeat again that we already discussed that and I rebuked your misunderstanding of what Satoshi wrote per the link you cited.

Go read again my (as relayed by @jbreher) rebuttal of @figmentofmyass’s quote of Satoshi, by clicking the following link:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51388201#msg51388201

Let me further quote Satoshi Nakamoto from the link you provided:

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime […]

I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea.  So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network.  The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint.

Satoshi (who is actually the think tank of the global elite who run this world behind the curtain) provided in Bitcoin’s protocol for a political consensus “soft fork” to be attempted, but clearly understood it would not be a good idea. The reason it’s not a good idea is for the reason I have already explained numerous times to you in my prior posts. Specifically that it creates a huge “anyone can spend” donations booty which miners must take, as the only way to restore the Nash equilibrium. A Nash equilibrium is in this context a game theory that forces miners to mine on only one longest chain and thus that makes Bitcoin a reliable store-of-value. The Core BitcOn-job temporary dissolves the Nash equilibrium while the booty piles up (currently 6 million BTC in SegWit UTXO ready for donating to the miners when they’re sufficiently incentivized and ready to start spending the booty to themselves when they win a block).

Political consensus is not a stable Schelling point because it has no fundamental value and no single-best, one-and-only Nash equilibrium (whereas multiple Nash equilibriums is the antithesis of what a Nash equilibrium means, i.e. the miners and token hodlers must have one strategy that is always best, not multiple choice chaos). The economic opportunity cost of the 6+ million BTC booty is a fundamental value. And only immutability of Satoshi’s “v0.1” protocol provides the unforgeable costliness (i.e. not innumerable forks) that gives Bitcoin unique, rare, hardcapped money supply. Political consensus is never assured and stable (i.e. it is only an ephemeral illusion), because it changes with the political wind. Political consensus is a power vacuum (i.e. not a stable value) that the fundamental economic opportunity cost must manipulate and capture. Fools like you do not understand fundamental economics nor the fundamental nature of political-economics. Again I will refer you to the writings of a man with a 160 I.Q. (i.e. 4 SD) and the comments of his numerous 3 and 4 SD I.Q. commentators:

Some Iron Laws of Political Economics (http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=984)

The global elite are rounding all of you sheepeople into a corral for harvesting. Lol. They have this planned out. I explained in the Long-term advance notice! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.0;all) thread that the global elite financed Blockstream to hoist this Core SegWit scam, so they can fleece all the BTC of minions and idiots before they prepare to back Facebook’s 666 Libra currency with Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0), thus making Bitcoin a world reserve currency that the uber elite control and own. You fucktards and your worthless network of nodes and exchanges are not needed at all. The global elite can create everything they need. The only point of this exercise has been to hoist the 666 system on the world in a clever, surreptitious (but in plain sight because people are stoopid), and insidious way so that you idiots would actually rally, cheer, and support your enslavement. Lol. Sheepeople such as all of you who are commenting in this thread, are fucking hilariously stoopid.



You just don't understand the game theory involved.

An idiot who doesn’t comprehend game theory trying to claim I do not understand the game theory involved. Lol.

If you doubt whether the miners have the concentrated resources to enforce the donations of the 6 million BTC (and growing)  “anyone can spend” booty, I suggest you re-read what @jbreher wrote as quoted in the Long-term advance notice! thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51306669#msg51306669).

When BTC is say $50,000 in May 2020 at the halving (the approximate date when Craig is ostensibly promising to initiate the donations taking) and assuming that SegWit booty has grown to perhaps 8 million BTC by then, that will be $400 billion in value with which to finance monopolizing all ASIC production. You fucking sheepeople idiots and your worthless networks of worthless nodes and worthless exchanges are irrelevant. Money (economics) talks, BS (talk, cheerleading, politics, and other hot air) walks.

You keep falsely asserting the most rational decision miners can make is to hard fork away from the majority of the network. You've done absolutely nothing to demonstrate this as a rational move. You perpetually fail to account for the lack of market value of the miner's fork. 6 million hard forked shitcoins valued at $0 is still $0.

Masturbation does not procreate. Politics does not create value. Power vacuums have no value and are merely for the taking by those who actually possess the power to take them against all others who might attempt to take. This is the definition of a power vacuum. A SegWit booty is a power vacuum.

Abstractly I already cited for you well respected research that (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.msg51731723#msg51731723) explains that nodes in a network are worthless without valuable connections between, i.e. the economically relative nodes are those that the global elite provide because they control most of the BTC and the outcomes. It is the relative value of valuable connections between nodes that impart value to the whole network. We can essentially remove 99% of the nodes and most of the value is retained, because most nodes do not have valuable interconnections. The analogous logic can be applied to network effects also.

The global elite have this planned out very well. They will back Libra with their real, immutable Bitcoin after Libra is adopted worldwide due to the strong dollar vortex that will force people and companies of all nations to use Libra instead of their national currencies as their local currencies collapse in relative value to the US dollar which backs Libra (along with UK pound, Euros, and Yen).

After the SegWit donations attack, everyone will think Bitcoin died. The Tulip Mania story will be spread all over the news. The altcoins will collapse into the abyss. And the world will turn to Facebook’s Libra as a more reliable electronic currency that can actually scale and has a stable value relative to the four nation-state fiat reserve currencies that Libra is backed with.

So killing Core BitcOn has been the plan all along so that they could usher in Libra. Then later as the US dollar peaks in value and starts to fail as the world is in total monetary chaos/crisis, they will then reveal that the real Bitcoin never died and that it is worth $1+ million per BTC. And they will start backing Libra with it, transitioning away from the U.S. Dollar to the cheers of the world which will have suffered so much from the strong dollar vortex monetary crisis (further abetted by Libra). In that way they bring us onto a 666 enslavement system which they entirely own.

BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE TOO STOOPID TO SEE WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

The only people economically interested in this conspiracy theory are the miners stealing Segwit outputs. There are no other Bitcoin users who rationally, for economic reasons, would fork their software. Thus, you have not demonstrated why there would be any market demand for your shitcoin.

Blah, blah, blah. You’re an idiot who is going to fall into the woodchipper where you belong. You should not disrespect people who are much wiser and smarter than you, but yet you do. Hahaha. My popcorn is ready.

So you have Mircea Popescu, the colluding miners engaging in mass theft, and a few Aspergers-laden retards like yourself. That sure sounds like a network that will see mass/institutional adoption! We're all right behind you! ::)

Hahaha. Go read @jbrefer’s post that I linked for you, fool.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you have completely misinterpreted the source of Bitcoin's value. It is derived from its network. You can't have a network with hundreds of users and no economic activity and have it retain any value.

Lol, the only bubble you’re bursting is the irrelevance of worthless nodes and worthless networks.

It's just going to be like the last D&D game you played with your ragtag band of retard friends in your Mom's basement. No one will fucking notice you or care that you exist.

So after the SegWit donations restoration of the one-and-only, immutable, no-worthless-scammer-Core-political-circus-consensus, Satoshi “v0.1” real Bitcoin (i.e. not scammer Ver’s BCH nor scammer Craig’s BSV), all remaining important people will effectively have listened to me, or acted on their own analysis which is congruent with what I have written. Given I am the only person who has actively relayed this information from the bowels of the logs at trilema.com, presumably they’ve obtained their information from me or directly from my original source.



Quote from: anonymous wrote in email
We differ when we get to opportunity cost. As in, I don't think it's likely that there is one.

BTC can't be dumped for TRB because TRB will be blacklisted from any and every legitimate exchange and OTC broker. The few shady Chinese exchanges that may list it won't have any liquidity. Similarly, the Etherum DAO "attacker" couldn't spend his ETH anywhere. Hell, CSW sued a few people around the twitterverse and several of the largest exchanges delisted BSV. How much worse shape will TRB be in when the authorities declare segwit booty coins to all be considered stolen property?

Also, it would be much too risky, legally. People would go to jail or get killed for taking the booty. With the booty stolen, major exchanges would lose money, banks would lose money, oligarchs would lose money, nation states would lose money. Those people are the elite, and they would absolutely crush any miners who stole from them.

Besides all of that, it would be a PR nightmare. No one would trust the miners and TRB chain anymore. If the miners could collaborate to steal the segwit booty, they could also collaborate to start double spending on it at any point.

Here is my opinion. You are free to have your own opinion. And one of us will be correct. I dare you to store your BTC in SegWit addresses that begin with a 3 if you have conviction about your opinion. Put your money where your mouth is, I certainly am.

I have a strong opinion which will seem quite judgmental. Unfortunately like most people you are apparently easily fooled by manipulated optics and not able to drill down to fundamental generative essence economics and game theory. Most people are prone to a delusion that reality is that which is openly visible. It’s some sort of carryover from our evolution in our ancestral environment. We are still very much herding animals, so easy to be fooled like sheep.

Essence of Genius (http://unheresy.com/Essence%20of%20Genius.html)

Regarding exchanges, please re-read what I wrote in an earlier post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157964.msg51644976#msg51644976) in this thread. Also re-read my points there about the uber elite trade on OTC which will never blacklist anything that can earn a matchmaker lucrative commissions. The powers-that-be control the exchanges. These “bucket shops” are a dog and pony circus they setup to fool you. It’s analogous to a facade of a building on a Hollywood set.

Indeed (the “PR nightmare”) creating the illusion that Bitcoin died is part of the timing of bringing their 666 Facebook Libra to prominence. I explained that in more detail above. Then later the powers-that-be (i.e. the uber wealthy who will control most of the BTC after the minions are kicked off by the donations taking and the rising transaction fees) bring back the real Bitcoin which never died and start backing Libra with it.

Haven’t you ever wondered why Bitcoin recieved so much airtime in the Zionist controlled mass media? Facebook’s Libra is most definitely Zionists controlled (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0).

The entire point is to fool everyone. Because goyim sheepeople are so easy to fool. It’s akin to taking candy from babies.

Your delusion about the law is especially unremarkable:

Quote
“Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws”

The uber wealthy are above the law. The law is for enslaving sheepeople. My gosh you folks live in some fantasy which does not exist. Please try to come back in touch with reality.

Additionally there’s no law which prevents miners from obeying the immutable protocol. Where did you dream up this illegality nonsense? Cryptocurrency is not banking. There are no consumer protection laws. It is really amazing to me that you would make such a mistake in your thought process.

That is also helps to discredit decentralized cryptocurrency so as to aid the acceptance and preference for the lack of permissionlessness in FacebooK’s Libra. Burning the fingertips of crypto fools up to their armpits is how to make the public view the lack of permissionlessness in Facebook Libra as an advantage over that “scam” of decentralized cryptocurrency which preceded Libra.

Also I had already explained in great detail how the miners who partake will be able to cash out of their free air-drop of Core shitcoins (to altcoins, fiat, etc) using Tether in a way that exchanges will be incapable of blacklisting. Go back to the Long-term advance notice thread and also find the posts I made on Steemit about that specific point.

If the miners could collaborate to steal the segwit booty, they could also collaborate to start double spending on it at any point.

Damnit I am so tired of reading this same nonsense point repeated after I have refuted it so many times. Why can’t you guys assimilate and remember what I write?

The Schelling point is only for maintaining the immutability of Satoshi’s protocol. There is no Schelling point around double-spending. Think it out. I explained this in great detail in the past and I am not going to repeat it all again or go digging to find the post where I did spoon fed the detailed logic. This is exhausting. I am not going to hold your hand every time you cross the street without looking both directions. Go lose your BTC in SegWit addresses. Lol.

Cripes would you sheepeople at least learn something about game theory before slobbering more nonsense.

don't you know, "the global elite" has got this all planned out. competent developers and actual users don't matter, because once the "segwit booty" is stolen, "core bitcon" will die. and for reasons unknown, the "original immutable satoshi protocol" will then rise to millions of dollars. and shelby will become rich and get his revenge on the world for wronging him so badly.

It was Satoshi's fault Segwit was compatible with Bitcoin's protocol rules.

We discussed that in the Long-term advance notice! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.0;all) thread.

Satoshi (actually the global elite) outsmarted you. SegWit is compatible with the protocol, but incompatible with a Nash equilibrium, because a huge “anyone can spend” booty piles up (currently 6 million BTC).

Actually, Satoshi very clearly intended for new transaction types to be implemented exactly as Segwit was: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/126/

I repeat again that we already discussed that and I rebuked your misunderstanding of what Satoshi wrote per the link you cited.

Go read again my (as relayed by @jbreher) rebuttal of @figmentofmyass’s quote of Satoshi, by clicking the following link:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51388201#msg51388201

Let me further quote Satoshi Nakamoto from the link you provided:

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime […]

I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea.  So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network.  The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint.

Satoshi (who is actually the think tank of the global elite who run this world behind the curtain) provided in Bitcoin’s protocol for a political consensus “soft fork” to be attempted, but clearly understood it would not be a good idea. The reason it’s not a good idea is for the reason I have already explained numerous times to you in my prior posts. Specifically that it creates a huge “anyone can spend” donations booty which miners must take, as the only way to restore the Nash equilibrium. A Nash equilibrium is in this context a game theory that forces miners to mine on only one longest chain and thus that makes Bitcoin a reliable store-of-value. The Core BitcOn-job temporary dissolves the Nash equilibrium while the booty piles up (currently 6 million BTC in SegWit UTXO ready for donating to the miners when they’re sufficiently incentivized and ready to start spending the booty to themselves when they win a block).

Political consensus is not a stable Schelling point because it has no fundamental value and no single-best, one-and-only Nash equilibrium (whereas multiple Nash equilibriums is the antithesis of what a Nash equilibrium means, i.e. the miners and token hodlers must have one strategy that is always best, not multiple choice chaos). The economic opportunity cost of the 6+ million BTC booty is a fundamental value. And only immutability of Satoshi’s “v0.1” protocol provides the unforgeable costliness (i.e. not innumerable forks) that gives Bitcoin unique, rare, hardcapped money supply. Political consensus is never assured and stable (i.e. it is only an ephemeral illusion), because it changes with the political wind. Political consensus is a power vacuum (i.e. not a stable value) that the fundamental economic opportunity cost must manipulate and capture. Fools like you do not understand fundamental economics nor the fundamental nature of political-economics. Again I will refer you to the writings of a man with a 160 I.Q. (i.e. 4 SD) and the comments of his numerous 3 and 4 SD I.Q. commentators:

Some Iron Laws of Political Economics (http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=984)

The global elite are rounding all of you sheepeople into a corral for harvesting. Lol. They have this planned out. I explained in the Long-term advance notice! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.0;all) thread that the global elite financed Blockstream to hoist this Core SegWit scam, so they can fleece all the BTC of minions and idiots before they prepare to back Facebook’s 666 Libra currency with Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0), thus making Bitcoin a world reserve currency that the uber elite control and own. You fucktards and your worthless network of nodes and exchanges are not needed at all. The global elite can create everything they need. The only point of this exercise has been to hoist the 666 system on the world in a clever, surreptitious (but in plain sight because people are stoopid), and insidious way so that you idiots would actually rally, cheer, and support your enslavement. Lol. Sheepeople such as all of you who are commenting in this thread, are fucking hilariously stoopid.



You just don't understand the game theory involved.

An idiot who doesn’t comprehend game theory trying to claim I do not understand the game theory involved. Lol.

If you doubt whether the miners have the concentrated resources to enforce the donations of the 6 million BTC (and growing)  “anyone can spend” booty, I suggest you re-read what @jbreher wrote as quoted in the Long-term advance notice! thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51306669#msg51306669).

When BTC is say $50,000 in May 2020 at the halving (the approximate date when Craig is ostensibly promising to initiate the donations taking) and assuming that SegWit booty has grown to perhaps 8 million BTC by then, that will be $400 billion in value with which to finance monopolizing all ASIC production. You fucking sheepeople idiots and your worthless networks of worthless nodes and worthless exchanges are irrelevant. Money (economics) talks, BS (talk, cheerleading, politics, and other hot air) walks.

You keep falsely asserting the most rational decision miners can make is to hard fork away from the majority of the network. You've done absolutely nothing to demonstrate this as a rational move. You perpetually fail to account for the lack of market value of the miner's fork. 6 million hard forked shitcoins valued at $0 is still $0.

Masturbation does not procreate. Politics does not create value. Power vacuums have no value and are merely for the taking by those who actually possess the power to take them against all others who might attempt to take. This is the definition of a power vacuum. A SegWit booty is a power vacuum.

Abstractly I already cited for you well respected research that (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.msg51731723#msg51731723) explains that nodes in a network are worthless without valuable connections between, i.e. the economically relative nodes are those that the global elite provide because they control most of the BTC and the outcomes. It is the relative value of valuable connections between nodes that impart value to the whole network. We can essentially remove 99% of the nodes and most of the value is retained, because most nodes do not have valuable interconnections. The analogous logic can be applied to network effects also.

The global elite have this planned out very well. They will back Libra with their real, immutable Bitcoin after Libra is adopted worldwide due to the strong dollar vortex that will force people and companies of all nations to use Libra instead of their national currencies as their local currencies collapse in relative value to the US dollar which backs Libra (along with UK pound, Euros, and Yen).

After the SegWit donations attack, everyone will think Bitcoin died. The Tulip Mania story will be spread all over the news. The altcoins will collapse into the abyss. And the world will turn to Facebook’s Libra as a more reliable electronic currency that can actually scale and has a stable value relative to the four nation-state fiat reserve currencies that Libra is backed with.

So killing Core BitcOn has been the plan all along so that they could usher in Libra. Then later as the US dollar peaks in value and starts to fail as the world is in total monetary chaos/crisis, they will then reveal that the real Bitcoin never died and that it is worth $1+ million per BTC. And they will start backing Libra with it, transitioning away from the U.S. Dollar to the cheers of the world which will have suffered so much from the strong dollar vortex monetary crisis (further abetted by Libra). In that way they bring us onto a 666 enslavement system which they entirely own.

BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE TOO STOOPID TO SEE WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

The only people economically interested in this conspiracy theory are the miners stealing Segwit outputs. There are no other Bitcoin users who rationally, for economic reasons, would fork their software. Thus, you have not demonstrated why there would be any market demand for your shitcoin.

Blah, blah, blah. You’re an idiot who is going to fall into the woodchipper where you belong. You should not disrespect people who are much wiser and smarter than you, but yet you do. Hahaha. My popcorn is ready.

So you have Mircea Popescu, the colluding miners engaging in mass theft, and a few Aspergers-laden retards like yourself. That sure sounds like a network that will see mass/institutional adoption! We're all right behind you! ::)

Hahaha. Go read @jbrefer’s post that I linked for you, fool.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you have completely misinterpreted the source of Bitcoin's value. It is derived from its network. You can't have a network with hundreds of users and no economic activity and have it retain any value.

Lol, the only bubble you’re bursting is the irrelevance of worthless nodes and worthless networks.

It's just going to be like the last D&D game you played with your ragtag band of retard friends in your Mom's basement. No one will fucking notice you or care that you exist. Network data shows the network won't even notice you left. You would just be forking yourselves off the network into irrelevance.

Dude I am 54 years old. Keep on dreaming retard. And do not disappear when I am proven correct. I will be curious to see what you can say at that juncture. How will you react mentally and emotionally when everything I wrote is proven to be absolutely prescient?

How much worse shape will TRB be in when the authorities declare segwit booty coins to all be considered stolen property?

Also, it would be much too risky, legally. People would go to jail or get killed for taking the booty. With the booty stolen, major exchanges would lose money, banks would lose money, oligarchs would lose money, nation states would lose money. Those people are the elite, and they would absolutely crush any miners who stole from them.

Besides all of that, it would be a PR nightmare. No one would trust the miners and TRB chain anymore. If the miners could collaborate to steal the segwit booty, they could also collaborate to start double spending on it at any point.

Here is my opinion. You are free to have your own opinion. And one of us will be correct. I dare you to store your BTC in SegWit addresses that begin with a 3 if you have conviction about your opinion. Put your money where your mouth is, I certainly am.

I'm keeping all my BTC in legacy addresses. I've advised others to do the same. However, I'd estimate there's only something like a 10-15% chance that the booty will ever be taken.

Furthermore, you can't demonstrate conclusively that we're not at a Nash equilibrium currently. The linchpin of your entire theory is based on pure speculation that powerful elites will flood into TRB.

I'll publicly state that this is quite possible, but far from a certainty.

Edit: After thinking about it some more, I'm willing to concede that if the right elites get involved, the other problems could disappear.

I began thinking about the 2008 housing crisis in the US, and how the elites committed fraud, crashed the economy, took millions of homes from people, and laughed all the way to the bank.

[During the great recession] eight million Americans lost their jobs, nearly four million homes were foreclosed each year, and 2.5 million businesses were shuttered (https://www.ipr.northwestern.edu/about/news/2014/IPR-research-Great-Recession-unemployment-foreclosures-safety-net-fertility-public-opinion.html)
And no one went to jail. In fact, the government gave the banks more money, and executive bonuses hit new records. This seems to be an analogous situation to the segwit booty theft.

Another one of Craig Wright like weirdos. This is the problem with Crypto today and has been always. Sometimes its so anonymous, some secrets are just never decypherable. And that gives rise to conspiracy theorists and fraudsters.

I don't see it as a problem. The problem is just what human nature is, I mean Craig Wright isn't anonymous anymore and he chose long ago not to be, how else can he make a lot of money if he's not famous? So it's nothing about anonymity and btw Bitcoin isn't 100% anonymous anymore, but it's just about greed and sociopathic behavior which people have been having before Bitcoin was ever created.

Craig Wright dont control bitcoin. He controls bitcoin SV, which is a fork of bitcoin cash.

Whatever he tries to attempt, I dont believe miners will follow him. They didnt follow the bitcoin cash fork in the first place, and even the ones who followed it, didnt follow to the SV fork after that. Bitmain, which is one of the biggest, stayed with bitcoin and bitcoin cash. There is only one company mining bitcoin SV, which is controlled by Craig Wright.

Bitcoin miners had signalled Segwit after the bitcoin cash fork, and even if Segwit had some problems, the network recognizes its address formats. Segwit addresses didnt have retrievable private keys in 0.15, but now they have, so what do we have here? We have a sophisticated attempt at FUD, to create panic and make people exchange their bitcoins for fiat money.

If such "donations mechanism" exists, miners will not touch it, because it would cause a desynch in the network and, consequently, a hard fork. Also the price would go down due to the FUD created by such action, and the so-called billions of dollars of the "Segwit booty" would value only some millions. Its just a matter of game theory: miners would shoot at their own feet if they mess with the address structure. They would kill their own industry.

As I have stated in private (and I believe also public?) communications, I don’t have absolute confidence about the timing. Craig Wright has ostensibly promised to initiate the attack (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51306669#msg51306669) at halving on May 2020 (although Craig is apparently obscuring the restoration of Satoshi’s immutable Bitcoin as something benefiting BSV which is not immutable, because ostensibly Craig’s role is to scam everyone, including everyone investing in BSV). And given a $100 – 400 billion booty (depending on BTC price in May 2020 and whether the current 6 million BTC in SegWit addresses increases), I posit they could (as @jbreher alluded to when he mentioned Ayre’s SQR is a customer of at least Samsung (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg51306669#msg51306669)) afford to increase their extant 3% of the network hashrate (which perhaps is already sufficient to initiate the attack since miners will be incentivized in snowball effect to switch from Core to donations taking) possibly monopolizing (i.e. buy all of) the ASIC production for SHA256 for a considerable period of time (to make it sure they have enough monopoly on spare hashrate to annihilate Core … a detailed discussion of the mechanics is omitted for the time being so as to keep this discussion concise).

Yet I do have nearly absolute confidence about the SegWit donations taking coming to fruition eventually because the (eventually $trillions if not taken soon) booty removes the Nash equilibrium because until it is taken nobody can be sure whether their spends will not be rolled back, i.e. that the miners could begin the restoration “attack” at any time and nobody can know when (the initial stage of the donations taking will be surreptitious so the planners can get their free air-dropped Core shitcoins separated and loaded onto to exchanges for dumping to Tether and for bankrupting the exchanges which hodl in SegWit addresses).

And AFAICS, the May 2020 halving is the ideal/optimum confluence of timing for all the reasons I have already stated in this thread and the other threads which are cited in this thread.

So I guesstimate the odds of the attack at the May 2020 halving at no less than 20 – 33% (only low because I lack time to investigate and because Craig is not the most reliable person around) and I’m leaning higher than that, although I don’t have enough time to research and keep tabs on Craig and his group. If I really wanted more conviction on the timing and I had a lot at stake, I could investigate more, but my opportunity cost is too great. I have other important things to do.

My speculative narrative tying this into posited global-elite “666” plans for a Facebook’s Libra, is that Craig is purposefully appearing to be a loon and also a scammer. This is necessary in my narrative to turn the public towards Libra and away from decentralized cryptocurrency from 2020 forward after the SegWit restoration of Bitcoin potentially decimates the cryptocosm for some years.


Quote from: Shelby
I have a strong opinion which will seem quite judgmental. Unfortunately like most people you are apparently easily fooled by manipulated optics and not able to drill down to fundamental generative essence economics and game theory. Most people are prone to a delusion that reality is that which is openly visible. It’s some sort of carryover from our evolution in our ancestral environment. We are still very much herding animals, so easy to be fooled like sheep.

Essence of Genius (http://unheresy.com/Essence%20of%20Genius.html)

Or you're just too emotionally and/or egotistically (as your link above would imply) invested in your narrative to see or acknowledge other possibilities.

It’s not egotistical to attempt to objectively identify what distinguishes genius. I’m not claiming I’m genius or significantly so. I know my limitations.

Emotional? My use of terms such as “fucktard” is because I am so exasperated that sheepeople are unable to assimilate information. And that sheepeople are so easily fooled because they do not reason coherently. The following linked blog post explains the taxonomy of mental errors that most people make and which you are also (apparently?) making here in this post of yours:

http://trilema.com/2018/how-to-piss-me-the-fuck-off-a-guide/

For example, the inkblot of assigning ego to my linked attempt to understand what distinguishes genius. Or your mislabeling as “emotion” that which is actually exasperation+exhaustion of explaining the same points over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over again (and just balancing the rhetoric against those who started the discussion by referring to me as a “nutjob”).

Btw, I should not even bother writing here, but I do it because I care and because when I am proven correct later, it will raise my status amongst those who notice and I will hopefully get more respect and cooperation as a result, at least from those awake enough to realize/discriminate. Also because the cryptocosm has been good to me, and thus I have a duty to return something back to the community. This is my Weberian cultural values, being that I am a Hajnal line Western Christian. Also given I was raised in the South, I have particular sense of allegiance to honorable virtues. Also because my ancestor was Isaac Shelby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Shelby).

Whenever someone says that something is 100% certain to happen, that sends up a huge, red flag. When it's something like the segwit booty being claimed by miners, there are two many moving parts and variables, some known and some unknown, to draw a certain conclusion.

Some things are actually 99.9% certain. For example it is 99.9% certain that all of us will die. So it’s another inkblot to start off with a premise that anyone who claims high degree of certitude or conviction is necessarily incorrect. It’s as if you’re trying to apply an aphorism that isn’t always true. Your “red flag” indicator is not an 100% automatic implication of falsehood or even low likelihood (low likelihood for a large sample of such tests yes, but each test has the small potential to have a high variance). You must apply a lot of effort to determine if your red flag test represents a valid case or not. Lazy aphorisms will not suffice.

A more pertinent example here and addressing your strawman of “moving parts” would be our recent private discussion of the future politics in the USA. While there are many moving parts, we can conclude with near certainty that because of inertia that can’t be undone or compensated for quickly enough, the U.S.A. will trend towards the Millennials’ philosophical preferences (formed in their youth) after the Silent Generation is all dead and the Millennials have matured enough to vote en masse circa 2032.

Further to the strawman of “moving parts”, our human bodies are remarkably complex, yet I can predict that I will not fall down the stairs tonight when I descend to the dinner table. Entropy does not work the way you are postulating. Nature is amazingly complex, yet I can be fairly certain that the Sun will rise tomorrow and that there will be oxygen in the bedroom when I open the entrance door.

Basically what you’re admitting is that you’re blinded by complexity you can’t/haven’t reasoned about/through, thus you can’t/don’t see any coherent, absolutely convincing reasoning on the issue. I.e. you see only too many moving parts wherein a smarter or more diligently studious person may assimilate a pattern+model. Thus you apparently default back to (manipulated/politicized) optics as your basis for what will happen, which is a very aggravating mental error that most people make. If sheepeople can’t understand something, they substitute shortcuts to console themselves.

Sheepeople are herded animals. When they can’t make holistic sense something directly, they look at the arses of the other sheepeople or any other mystical sign (http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/dancing.html) (which is why the masses are so dangerous (http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/killer-myth.html)). IOW, they grasp at strings as you have ostensibly done by “you can not possibly be correct, because (too complex and) you are too certain of our convictions, therefore it must be ego and emotion clouding your reasoning.”

That is not logic. That is aliasing error, witch craft or voodoo. If you’ve seen other idiots slobbering nonsense with “conviction” in this world, please don’t presume I’m as sloppy in my analysis as they are. You must actually dissect my arguments and reasoning, which so far I have not seen you do to any extensive level.

Regarding exchanges, please re-read what I wrote in an earlier post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157964.msg51644976#msg51644976) in this thread. Also re-read my points there about the uber elite trade on OTC which will never blacklist anything that can earn a matchmaker lucrative commissions. The powers-that-be control the exchanges. These “bucket shops” are a dog and pony circus they setup to fool you. It’s analogous to a facade of a building on a Hollywood set.

Indeed (the “PR nightmare”) creating the illusion that Bitcoin died is part of the timing of bringing their 666 Facebook Libra to prominence. I explained that in more detail above. Then later the powers-that-be (i.e. the uber wealthy who will control most of the BTC after the minions are kicked off by the donations taking and the rising transaction fees) bring back the real Bitcoin which never died and start backing Libra with it.

Haven’t you ever wondered why Bitcoin recieved so much airtime in the Zionist controlled mass media? Facebook’s Libra is most definitely Zionists controlled (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0).

The entire point is to fool everyone. Because goyim sheepeople are so easy to fool. It’s akin to taking candy from babies.

Your delusion about the law is especially unremarkable:

Quote
“Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws”

The uber wealthy are above the law. The law is for enslaving sheepeople. My gosh you folks live in some fantasy which does not exist. Please try to come back in touch with reality.

Virtually no one with any power has a significant amount of bitcoin.

Apologies but I must be frank and state that’s presumptuous nonsense that fails to consider the known facts of Bitcoin and our physical universe.

Power relative to Bitcoin or power in the world-at-large? The latter is the only claim that could possibly have any chance of being correct, and it would be irrelevant to our discussion. It’s only the economic majority of Bitcoin that matters w.r.t. to a hard fork war (i.e. when the miners start taking the generous, noble, appreciated “please-protect-Bitcoin’s-security-and-Nash-equilibrium” donations).

Where did you get this idea? We have for example the trilema.com dude with at least 500,000 BTC. We have Ayre with 3% of the Bitcoin network hashrate. We have the Winklevoss twins. We have countries such as Bulgaria and Russia reportedly accumulating large stakes.

Also how would you know who controls the 18 million BTC already minted (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitcoins_Short_Term)?

Most importantly there is unequivocal proof that you’re both incorrect and not very astute on this point. The power-law distribution of wealth (and of any fungible resource) in an inviolable phenomenon of nature. Someone would have to be very, very dumb to assume the power-law distribution does not apply to Bitcoin. I assume you’re not dumb, so this is probably just your failing to assimilate all the known factors.

Perhaps what you meant to imply is that no one powerful enough relative to the world-at-large, but that would be irrelevant to a fork war which only requires the decision of the economic majority of Bitcoin, not necessarily the powerful that control the world. Nevertheless $100 – 400 billion of booty (and probably growing) is probably significant enough to powerful in the realm of the world-at-large.


Quote from: Shelby
Additionally there’s no law which prevents miners from obeying the immutable protocol. Where did you dream up this illegality nonsense? Cryptocurrency is not banking. There are no consumer protection laws. It is really amazing to me that you would make such a mistake in your thought process.

You're thinking like a computer scientist and not like a bureaucrat.

No I am actually saying AFAIK there is no law (nor jurisprudence) on the books for example in the U.S.A. that could be applied against miners. Miners mine which ever proof-of-work blockchain and fork they want to mine. It’s a free market activity. Some miners switch blockchains often according to where they compute they can earn the most return-on-investment. If they choose to mine Satoshi’s protocol, that is not illegal. If fools donate their BTC to “anyone can spend” incentivizing the miners to mine on Satoshi’s protocol to restore the Nash equilibrium and thus (restoring) the security of the longest chain, then AFAICS the miners are doing a perfectly legal and absolutely honorable action.

What do idiots deserve when they have willingly misconfigured their clients and spend their BTC to UTXO which have signatures which are unrecognizable in the Satoshi protocol. It will be hilarious if anyone tries to take a miner to court (assuming they can even identify any miners given that proof-of-work enables miners to be anonymous). I believe any reasonable judge will throw such a nonsense case out of court for lack of grounds for case.

The Bitcoin protocol makes no legal guarantees about which “soft fork” the miners will follow. Only idiots who have no training in law, think that Core’s political deceptions bind legal obligations to miners.

Even common law would be enough to prosecute miners for defrauding thousands of people.

Please cite such jurisprudence? Miners are not defrauding anyone. Everyone with SegWit 3 addresses will still have their tokens in the Core protocol, after it hard forks off from the Satoshi protocol at that juncture. Why should miners be obligated to give them Satoshi protocol tokens which the miners expend hashrate and risk to obtain, at the juncture when the Satoshi miners restore Bitcoin’s immutability and Nash equilibrium by forcing the Core scam to fork (and fuck) off?

Core is the one who deceived the users implying that a “soft fork” with signaling is a guaranteed thing. No. If Core wanted to prevent such a booty, power vacuum and hole in the Nash equilibrium from accruing, they could have instead hardforked off as BCH and BSV did, but of course Core preferred a political power vacuum, because they know damn well that a hardfork would have rendered Core as shitcoins because everyone sells the free airdrop from hard forks. Also because this entire “anyone can spend” and Core political “soft fork” was premeditated before Bitcoin was even launched. Go read what Satoshi wrote. He knew damn well what he enabled. The global elite have had this masterfully planned out. Do you not realize there are human beings on this earth with IQ above 200. Do you not understand that these individuals can reason out complexity that even you and I would have great difficulty fathoming in advance.

The court will look at the facts and realize that the miners have done nothing illegal and that users had freewill. Users can store in Legacy 1 addresses if they want to retain their Satoshi protocol tokens and receive a free airdrop of Core tokens at the hardfork off.

Do you really believe this nonsense you are spewing? I can’t even believe this was written by the same guy I have been communicating with lately. I had developed a lot of respect for you. I frankly believe you are just extremely naive about this issue. I have been studying this and thinking about it for year(s).

My father was a high powered attorney (was West Coast Division Head Attorney for Exxon in the 1980s and early 1990s, before moving on to T.H.U.M.S. (https://longbeachmarinas.net/long-beach-oil-islands/)) so I have some familiarity with concepts of law and jurisprudence (but not expert). I also ran a business before. I am not your typical young computer science nerd. I have experience in accounting, legal issues, and wide range of disciplines. Again I do not claim to be an expert in law, yet the above is really just common sense.

That is also helps to discredit decentralized cryptocurrency so as to aid the acceptance and preference for the lack of permissionlessness in FacebooK’s Libra. Burning the fingertips of crypto fools up to their armpits is how to make the public view the lack of permissionlessness in Facebook Libra as an advantage over that “scam” of decentralized cryptocurrency which preceded Libra.

Also I had already explained in great detail how the miners who partake will be able to cash out of their free air-drop of Core shitcoins (to altcoins, fiat, etc) using Tether in a way that exchanges will be incapable of blacklisting. Go back to the Long-term advance notice thread and also find the posts I made on Steemit about that specific point.

Quote from: anonymous wrote in email
If the miners could collaborate to steal the segwit booty, they could also collaborate to start double spending on it at any point.

Damnit I am so tired of reading this same nonsense point repeated after I have refuted it so many times. Why can’t you guys assimilate and remember what I write?

The Schelling point is only for maintaining the immutability of Satoshi’s protocol. There is no Schelling point around double-spending. Think it out. I explained this in great detail in the past and I am not going to repeat it all again or go digging to find the post where I did spoon fed the detailed logic. This is exhausting. I am not going to hold your hand every time you cross the street without looking both directions. Go lose your BTC in SegWit addresses. Lol.

Cripes would you sheepeople at least learn something about game theory before slobbering more nonsense.

The Schelling point has shifted to segwit. The fact that the Schelling point was 1mb two years ago is becoming less and less relevant. The Schelling point of money used to be seashells. These things change, and in the bitcoin world they change at incredible speed.

I expended great effort to explain in my prior post that political Schelling points are power vacuums. It seems as if that statement flew right over your head? Do you understand what a power vacuum means in that context and why it is an important point that refutes you?

You are conflating different concepts as if you have no holistic conceptualization of the interaction of power vacuums, stability of Schelling points, political deception, unforgeable costliness, application of law, etc.. Let’s see how to unravel this…

The transition from seashells to another form of money was not driven and sustained by a political decision that erected a power vacuum. It was driven by fundamental economics. Even when King Henry declared tally sticks to be legal tender, this was not (only) a political decision but rather sustained by a fundamental power that could not be effectively challenged as the King possessed the power to stably capture the power vacuum of governance for an extended epoch. I.e. there was no power vacuum causing instability in CONFIDENCE and STABILITY of the legal tender.

Schelling points are stable only if they involve a fundamental economics raison d'être, because a power vacuum is always unstable until a fundamental economic power captures it. The definition of power VACUUM means a lack of stable capture of the power. A “soft fork” that creates a booty is an intentional creation of a power VACUUM, that must be vacated eventually. Don’t repeat the same dumb arguments I already refuted many times over and over and over again, such as arguing that the Satoshi protocol would be hard forking away from the SegWit protocol. Nonsense. The Legacy address hodlers get tokens in both protocols. The SegWit address bagholders get only Core shitcoins. That is proof that Core is hard forking away, not vice versa.

The essence of politics is competition over who will capture the power vacuum.

Since Core promulgated a (quite deceptive) political Schelling point which is a power vacuum that can only be fully captured by restoring the Nash equilibrium of taking the $100+ billion SegWit booty, then we know without any doubt whatsoever that Core is not stable Schelling point. Deceptive because if Core had instead hardforked then the free market would have already decided and no booty and no loss of Nash equilibrium would have been possible. Core created the problem because they know if they hardforked off, they would have ended up as a shitcoin like BCH and BSV (which is where Core will end up when it is forced to fork off by the booty taking).

No, things don’t change with respect to Bitcoin otherwise it would have no value. If Bitcoin could change like the political wind, who the fuck would want to hodl the shit. Immutability is absolutely essential. It seems you really do not understand Nick Szabo’s unforgeable costliness and PlanB’s model of Bitcoin’s value.

The only thing that changed is that Core erected an ephemeral political power vacuum by fooling a lot of people. But Bitcoin itself never changed. This will become evident probably on May 2020.

If you think I am just making claims without sufficient unequivocal proof, then you apparently are sufficiently ignorant of the generative essence of politics. I cited Eric Raymond’s blog. The guy has north of a 152 IQ and there was a comment on that blog about power vacuums from a guy who has a ~165 IQ. Do you really think you’re in their league? Maybe you should take some time to study and reflect deeply on this? It seems to me you really haven’t thought through what a power vacuum is in this context. What a Nash equilibrium means. What a stable Schelling point is based on and requires. Etc.

Furthermore, you can't demonstrate conclusively that we're not at a Nash equilibrium currently. The linchpin of your entire theory is based on pure speculation that powerful elites will flood into TRB.

I'll publicly state that this is quite possible, but far from a certainty.

Of course I can demonstrate conclusively there is no Nash equilibrium other than the donations taking event. There is a $100+ billion (probably $400 billion by May 2020) booty for taking which (if even only a small fraction is recovered) can fund monopolizing (i.e. purchasing) all SHA256 ASIC production for multiple years. How will anyone compete for mining Core if they can’t get enough of the latest ASICs? How much more demonstration do you need? You going to wait until the overwhelming power of fundamental economic fact is demonstrated with the actual donations taking to then realize it was an undeniable fact?

You guys have attempted to argue that the donations taking Bitcoin would have no value. But I have become much more convicted with the announcement of Facebook Libra, because it is entirely obvious to me now that backing Libra with Bitcoin after the strong dollar vortex guarantees that Bitcoin will have $trillions in market cap valuation. And only an immutable Bitcoin will ever be accepted as a reserve asset. Who would accept a global reserve asset that was controlled by programmers mostly from the USA? Moreover who would hold or trust a reserve asset which can be “soft forked” by the manipulation of politics? Come on man.

I absolutely can’t fathom logically where your skepticism originates (other than I as I stated, you seemed bewildered so you apparently point at shadows/aphorisms and other forms aliasing error). You’ve made no statement that makes any sense to me whatsoever. Which is strange because I normally find you to be very astute and well reasoned.

Edit: After thinking about it some more, I'm willing to concede that if the right elites get involved, the other problems could disappear.

I began thinking about the 2008 housing crisis in the US, and how the elites committed fraud, crashed the economy, took millions of homes from people, and laughed all the way to the bank.

Quote
[During the great recession] eight million Americans lost their jobs, nearly four million homes were foreclosed each year, and 2.5 million businesses were shuttered (https://www.ipr.northwestern.edu/about/news/2014/IPR-research-Great-Recession-unemployment-foreclosures-safety-net-fertility-public-opinion.html)

And no one went to jail. In fact, the government gave the banks more money, and executive bonuses hit new records. This seems to be an analogous situation to the segwit booty theft.

You added this after I wrote the portion of my reply above.

How many examples of the global elite, Zionists banksters cleverly raping the sheepeople do you need?

And you don’t find Facebook Libra the least bit suspicious? What’s going on with that? Created by the CIA, etc.. I documented all of that (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0) already.

Is that it? That's your debate? That didn't answer the question. But what rational exchange would give your apocalypse-coin, the chain which miners can STEAL Segwit outputs, the BTC ticker?

You do not reason, that my rebuttal implies also that the assignment of a ticker symbol and other forms of politicized optics is irrelevant.

Hundreds? Can you name some of them? I believe there's none.

I won’t allow you to waste my time with your apparent ignorance of the s/w industry. Believe whatever you want to believe.

Somehow China, Russia, USA, Japan can send satellites into outer-space but you think only a few guys on this planet can write software and incorporate cryptography.  ::)



Craig Wright dont control bitcoin. He controls bitcoin SV, which is a fork of bitcoin cash.

I have not based my stance on any claim that Craig controls Bitcoin at this time. When the donations taking begins, the snowball effect will likely send most miners fleeing to get their share of the donations. I already detailed the posited mechanics and economics in prior comments on my blog (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/psg83p) and other forum thread, which includes how Craig+Arye’s SQR (boosted by a cool $billion or so extracted from the initial attack such as the massive short position they will have, etc) can in theory possibly crater the Core BitcOn hashrate after running the price skyhigh right at the halving thus bankrupting miners who don’t mine for donations taking. I am not going to spoon feed every 110 IQ bunny rabbit that comes along here and repeats the same nonsense which I already refuted before.

Whatever he tries to attempt, I dont believe miners will follow him.

What does your beliefs have to do with anything? What is your IQ maybe 110? Where are your facts and relevant economic and game theory arguments?

They didnt follow the bitcoin cash fork in the first place, and even the ones who followed it, didnt follow to the SV fork after that.

Yet Craig crashed the Bitcoin price and presumably made a fortune shorting.

https://i.imgur.com/KqDBYHs.png (https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1131921718015143937)

Bitmain, which is one of the biggest, stayed with bitcoin and bitcoin cash. There is only one company mining bitcoin SV, which is controlled by Craig Wright.

Bitcoin the company which had to abandon its ICO and appears to be in dire financial straits, thus likely very desperate when Craig crashes the hashrate. Jihan Wu was more than once in Israel presumably meeting with his Zionist masters.

Also Bitcoin has very wealthy customers. You have no idea who they are and what their intentions and plans are.

Bitcoin miners had signalled Segwit after the bitcoin cash fork,

The Zionists love how stupid goyim are. Signaling. Bwahaha.

“But you can’t take my BTC because miners signaled, huhuhu, all my BTC is gone poof, but you signaled, huhuhu”. Fucking sheepeople retards deserve exactly what they going to get.

[…] and even if Segwit had some problems, the network recognizes its address formats.

Only the Core protocol “soft fork” does.

Segwit addresses didnt have retrievable private keys in 0.15

That has nothing to do with what we are discussing. The fact that you do not realize this, is indicative that you do not know what you are doing.

, but now they have, so what do we have here? We have a sophisticated attempt at FUD, to create panic and make people exchange their bitcoins for fiat money.

There’s no FUD. And I didn't advocate anyone selling BTC just because of this. I advocated hodling in Legacy addresses.

If such "donations mechanism" exists, miners will not touch it, because it would cause a desynch in the network and, consequently, a hard fork.

Indeed. But you are not considering all the factors that the miners will be faced with after Core is forced to hard fuck off. Such as a cratering price which means a cratering income for miners because the difficulty will not adjust downward for some weeks or perhaps months. It is going to be absolute devastation for Core miners. You fool.

Also the price would go down due to the FUD created by such action, and the so-called billions of dollars of the "Segwit booty" would value only some millions. Its just a matter of game theory: miners would shoot at their own feet if they mess with the address structure. They would kill their own industry.

The entire point is to crash the price dimwit. Craig will have already cashed via shorting on the exchanges, and dumping his preloaded Core airdrop shitcoins to Tether or alts.

You have no fucking clue what you are writing about.

Craig will be able to extract perhaps $billion immediately and the long-term plan is probably in the $100s of billions. The legacy Bitcoin will eventually recover in price.

There is. The entire intent of this thread is of a evil purpose.

You didn't advocate for selling, but that is what will happen in this scenario, it will cause outright panic in the market. People will sell fearing for their money, even if they are holding in legacy addresses. The code will be put into question, PoW will be discredited. Exchanges will close, and even if legacy bitcoin goes to one million, there will be no place to sell it, and there will be no use case for it. In other words, bitcoin will be dead. Only this so-called "elite" will be able to sell it, into their obscure OTC clubs, which bring us to the conspiracy theory stuff.

I've already had my share with internet conspiracy theorists, and today I dont have any more patience to discuss these retarded theories. Here in the forum we have a resident /pol/tard, R0ach. But R0ach is entertainment, you are not, as there is a clearly twisted intent in your words. So Im putting you and the messenger on ignore.

I truly wonder when Shelby last saw natural sunlight. :o

He's trying to use unfamiliar terms, insults, and text walls to bombard naive readers. Anyone who understands logic and debate can see he hasn't remotely proven anything except his perpetual intellectual dishonesty.

His whole theory is based on the following "facts":

"There is a $100+ billion booty for taking"

The "Segwit donation booty" is only valid on an obscure fork nobody can see. Shelby offers zero rational logic or past market history that suggests an obscure shitcoin fork invisible to the entire network will have any relevance.

The Segwit2x and Bitcoin Cash fiascos are strong proof that miners are completely impotent in facilitating unwanted consensus change. Yet he continues to assert the entire market will nonsensically value the miner hard fork chain rather than Bitcoin. Based on what? Nothing but the delusions in his head about "the global elite."

"The global elite will buy 'The Real Bitcoin' not Core Bitcon!"

We'll fast forward past the reptilian alien and one-world government conspiracy stuff for now.

Shelby believes (I shit you not) the global elite have an elaborate plan to back his obscure shitcoin fork. This is an obscure fork with hardly any existing nodes, with literally handfuls of users. It's an idea he cooked up in his mom's basement. He bizarrely thinks some miners pointing hash rate at his fork (which is incredibly unlikely as it is) will magically make his shitcoin into "Bitcoin."

He tragically misunderstands markets. Bizarrely, he believes:

a) miners would risk their profitable Bitcoin mining operations to mine a fork with no users
b) miners can remove consensus rules (incompatible hard fork) and the hard fork chain will magically retain 100% of Bitcoin's market value
c) miners would not react to the worthless mining rewards on the hard fork chain and would keep mining it
d) the "global elite" will buy his shitcoin into the millions because, you guessed it, miners.

He apparently thinks Bitcoin's value is purely determined by hash rate and that miners are the only relevant actors. There is no concept of "market demand" to be seen in his theory. There is no rational reason why anyone (retail investors, institutions, or "the global elite") would buy these shitcoins. Yet he thinks they will just magically have value.

Furthermore, you can't demonstrate conclusively that we're not at a Nash equilibrium currently. The linchpin of your entire theory is based on pure speculation that powerful elites will flood into TRB.

I'll publicly state that this is quite possible, but far from a certainty.

Anything is possible in an existential sense. Why would you consider this quite possible? Nobody, least of all Shelby, has established why this would happen. It's completely out of left field and is basically just a desperate attempt on Shelby's part to wave away the fact that nobody would ever buy this shitcoin.

If "the global elites" were going to back a shitcoin, why would they ever land on this one?

If "the global elites", who've completely missed the boat on bitcoin so far, come to realize its inevitability as a primary global reserve asset, this gives them a way to get a large piece of the pie.

Right now, bitcoin is mostly owned by us plebs. That's why Shelby was referring to the power law distribution of wealth. The state of bitcoin holders is temporarily in violation of natural economic laws while the plebs are in control. The segwit booty theft, and subsequent dump of core BTC for The Real Bitcoin, would shift the balance so as to be in agreement with the power law distribution of wealth.

As for why they'd back "The Real Bitcoin", it's because only Bitcoin has unforgeable costliness. There are literally no other options besides Bitcoin.

This line of thinking suggests "the global elites" could accumulate worthless rocks and replace the entirety of gold money with their rocks, just on their say-so. It doesn't work like that. The value of gold derives from global faith in its value. Elites seek to accumulate what the rest of the world values, otherwise they have no spendable wealth. They can't just will value into existence. They would need to fool the world into buying shitcoins in a market they cornered. How? People are dumb, but they aren't that dumb.

So I get that they may want a way to accumulate BTC. But how does this plan actually accomplish that?

Right now, bitcoin is mostly owned by us plebs. That's why Shelby was referring to the power law distribution of wealth. The state of bitcoin holders is temporarily in violation of natural economic laws while the plebs are in control.

Bitcoin may represent a massive transfer of wealth. Wealth distribution may reflect a power law relationship but that doesn't mean the elites of today will be the elites of tomorrow.

As for why they'd back "The Real Bitcoin", it's because only Bitcoin has unforgeable costliness. There are literally no other options besides Bitcoin.

Could you please elaborate? This is not self-evident.

That is, he supports the status quo, since he (apparently) wants the "global elites" to control it, to justify his conspiracy theories. Even if we hold in legacy addresses, we will not have any use case for it, nor we will be able to sell it, as the market will have died due to the massive Segwit theft. Only these so-called "elites" will have access to very obscure OTC markets. In fact, bitcoin will be dead as a P2P, decentralized project, and will be replaced by a global currency, controlled by a world government, extremely centralized and with the possibility of being easily confiscated at the whim of bureaucrats.

You dont need to read his walltexts, this paragraph above already sums it all up. We will have a massive worldwide dystopia and there will be nowhere to run. Bitcoin is no safe haven, on the contrary, its the mouth of the beast ready to swallow you. Sell all your stash before its too late.

Thats why I dont have patience discussing with /pol/tards. Every conspiracy theory is a dead end. I believe they do it on purpose to make you feel helpless and then throw it all away.

Basic point here but isnt discussion of alternative crypto and forked coins for another forum section, does the tail wag the dog and we should think the secondary derivatives are to determine BTC direction.    I hope all the various protocols compete on the obvious utility requirement and who does it best, a far less convoluted argument then anything underhand just is it more efficient etc.

Yes, he begins his analysis from the assumptions that a) "the global elite" are guaranteed to succeed in co-opting Bitcoin and b) Segwit outputs are the focal point of Bitcoin game theory. He can't establish a basis for these assumptions, logically nor historically. He just insists it must be this way.

He doesn't bother to address the lack of any market demand for his proposed fork, nor the lack of users on his proposed network. He doesn't reconcile the irrelevance of obscure hard forks nobody on the Bitcoin network can even see. He just assumes "the global elite" will back his fork and then corner the market, and therefore that all the pieces will fall into place.

Shelby's whole theory is just a slight variation on every other conspiracy theory where "the global elite" control everything in the world and we are helpless to stop them.

He's literally launching into tirades about Israel conspiracies and Biblical symbolism and acting like these are legitimate "facts" relevant to Bitcoin. He's presenting Biblical passages as if they are proof of his deranged theories. Here's a snippit from his last article about Bitcoin:

Quote from: Shelby
It’s not the selfless, superrational, anti-harlotry Jews who will be spit out of the Lord’s mouth, but instead those unrepentant who are the aforementioned 9/11 and JFK-assassination mafia that is leading the world into the Great Harlot. Plus all those who reject Jesus to (even unconsciously or unwittingly) follow the Satanists.

Who are the powerful evil doers behind the curtain?

Not run-of-the-mill, banana-republic kingpins such as Calder-Le Roux. There are the significant, more visible, anti-Christian underlings such as Summers, Soros, Zelikow, Mueller, Clintons, LBJ, James A. Donald, Bush, Cheney, more PNAC’s such as Bolton, etc.. But more importantly there’s also those unnamed in the inner circle who are pulling the strings behind the CIA, Mossad, and MI6.

This stuff is pure gold.

this route seems far from a slam dunk. it actually sounds downright stupid tbh. there's no empirical evidence suggesting it'll work. in fact, it seems to go in the face of our past experiences with miner-backed forks, which have only been broadly ignored and ridiculed by the market.

i guess we're just supposed to trust that "this time is different"? as you probably know, that's a dangerous assumption with bitcoin! :D

if the elites really want in, why not go the traditional route of using derivatives to suppress prices, like the gold market? that might allow them to accumulate cheap for years, which is one of the reasons i'm suspicious about bakkt's entry into the market.

Quote from: Shelby

c) You are failing to map out the mechanics of how such a hard forking off by Core will proceed. First the price will be pushed very high right before the halving. Thus the difficulty will be skyhigh. Then Craig will dump 1 million BTC on the market crashing the price as the halving occurs, thus causing the Core chain to win a block maybe every few hours or longer delays. The Core chain will slow down so much that miners can not earn any rewards there. You are very dumb person. You do not even think out the details of things. Whereas, the legacy chain will be humming along and providing donations booty. Also Craig will have amassed a $billion or more from shorting and from preloading airdropped Core shitcoins on the exchanges for dumping to Tether. So then he can buy legacy BTC on OTC exchanges with Tether providing income for miners who mine legacy.


Craig Wright owns 1 million Bitcoins? Or allegedly? ::)

Shower thought. Knowing that Craig Wright will "dump millions", would it be possible for the miners to censor Craig Wright's transactions because "game theory"? Acting in their own self-interest, and the whole network's self-interests.

What would be more rational?

I saw that Shelby responded. I'll post it here:

Quote from: Shelby
Satoshi was Not Nick Szabo

Nick Szabo isn’t an adept C++ computer programmer:

https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2008-nakamoto

https://github.com/nicksz

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6828582

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3di6zc/nick_szabos_hidden_work/

Szabo has stated he did not create Bitcoin and that he was missing the key insight of employing permissionless, decentralized proof-of-work to elect which nodes participate in the Byzantine agreement consensus for the replication of transaction ledger:

http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2011/05/bitcoin-what-took-ye-so-long.html

Szabo was primarily a legal, history, and economics researcher and theoretician (study his website and blog) and he admits that wasn’t enough to create Bitcoin:

https://twitter.com/nickszabo4/status/977035747713675264

http://web.archive.org/web/20160209085850/http://szabo.best.vwh.net/

And Szabo was not focused on the decentralized facet:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6828435

I also remember that at the convention when Craig Wright pointed out that Bitcoin’s scripting language is Turing-complete, Szabo seemed to be ignorant of this facet of computer science (well ostensibly Gregory Maxwell was also):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1282144.msg13239629#msg13239629

The above linked post was mine and here’s another where I dived into more detailed speculation on the creation of Bitcoin (including the observation that if Satoshi was not protected by the powers-that-be, he would have wanted publicity to protect himself):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1284083.msg13239420#msg13239420

Additionally Szabo asked if someone wanted to help code his bitgold, which was missing the decentralized PoW that makes Bitcoin so revolutionary:

https://likeinamirror.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-nick-szabo/

Yet it is documented that Satoshi seemed to be unaware of Wei Dai until he contacted Adam Back (the source of PoW via hashcash, note Finney also used PoW in his centralized server RPOW):

https://likeinamirror.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-nick-szabo/#comment-129

And Wei Dai says Satoshi was unaware of Szabo until after he contacted Wei:

https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2008-nakamoto

There were 3 people who developed the main ideas for Bitcoin other than decentralized PoW, and any hobbyist or academic would have contacted them and admitted being aware of them (people don’t just create shit out-of-the-blue without scouring for prior art and usually getting their inspiration from the prior art):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6828582

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei_Dai#Relationship_with_Satoshi_Nakamoto


Satoshi was Not Hal Finney

Hal Finney denied being Satoshi and applied much effort to be transparent with the evidence that he was not Satoshi:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/25/satoshi-nakamotos-neighbor-the-bitcoin-ghostwriter-who-wasnt/

Hal Finney worked closely with Satoshi at the launch of Bitcoin in January 2009:

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/finneynakamotoemails.pdf


Hal Finney’s ALS

The following is highly speculative.

Hal Finney began exhibiting symptoms of ALS in May 2009:

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bshZiaLefDejvPKuS/dying-outside#9uTprDmJSsXJiys3J

The odds of Finney exhibiting symptoms of ALS in May 2009, just 4 months after closely interacting with Satoshi, are astronomically improbable if it was not a premeditated outcome:

https://web.archive.org/web/20180612075358/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4418987.0;all#msg39923901

Finney was in the best shape of his life building up to running marathons:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7jsp0s/one_of_the_last_posts_made_by_hal_finney_on/

The bacteria that causes Lyme disease has been weaponized:

https://www.quora.com/Was-Lyme-disease-invented-by-the-US-government-at-Plum-Island/answer/Sue-Laib

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/lyme-disease-resolving-the-lyme-wars-2018061814071#comment-308648

A variant of that weaponized bacteria may be capable of causing ALS:

https://www.holtorfmed.com/als-another-lyme-related-disease/

https://www.holtorfmed.com/borrelia-burgdorferi-found-in-als-patients/

https://huib.me/en/blog/the-lost-link-between-als-and-lyme-disease/

The following is debunked by the above linked because of the lack of comprehensive testing for Lyme disease in the following study:

https://www.aldf.com/is-there-a-causal-relationship-between-lyme-disease-and-amylotropic-lateral-sclerosis-als/

So why would the creators of Bitcoin want to murder Hal Finney?

Because they knew Finney would take the most interest in Bitcoin due to his work on RPOW as model implementation of Szabo’s bitgold, and most importantly because they knew that when Satoshi swept the 1 MB block size limit under the rug that Finney would be too aware to not notice. And that he would have too much stature in the community and could have caused discord about the blocksize issue much too soon, disrupting Bitcoin’s lead as the sole cryptocurrency with an insurmountable first mover advantage.

In short, because Finney was capable of forking Bitcoin early and making trouble, because he was a true selfless Libertarian cyberpunk:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/meet-hal-finney-man-who-received-first-ever-bitcoin-samuel-falkon

http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_hal_finney.html

Bitcoin was designed to be the reserve currency for Facebook Libra when it becomes a global 666 medium-of-exchange. Bitcoin was not designed to scale transaction volume and this fact would have caused lack of exuberance and much contention/forking had it been known too early.

Another evidence that this was premeditated is that Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto lived only blocks away from Hal Finney:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Finney_(computer_scientist)#Bitcoin

This symbolism and tribute to their sacrifices at the altar of Moloch are hallmarks of the Zionist-Satanists who run this world:

Gavin appears to be a CIA asset.

And now as the plan appears to be to discredit decentralized cryptocurrency in order to usher in Facebook’s Libra (later to resurrect the legacy, immutable Bitcoin to back Libra with it when they are ready to depreciate the dollar), they have their operative Craig Wright link Bitcoin to a genius drug kingpin:

To fool you into helping them erect a globalized 666 system. Of course they must get you to think that Bitcoin is harmless and/or beneficial in the fight against centralized corruption, in order to gain your fanatical, drooling, sheepeople-fanboy support.

What control have the global-elite gained over the world when the high transaction volume, efficient, permissioned, global medium-of-exchange is Facebook Libra, and backed by the slow, inefficient, low transaction volume, trustless/permissionless, reserve currency asset of Bitcoin.

Facebook Libra is a consortium blockchain to be run by large corporations which the global-elite control.

Besides who ever controls the global economy (eventually through Libra and banking for example), also controls Bitcoin, because due to the power-law distribution the top 1% will will control 33% of the BTC and also the global-elite control the all the $millionaires and $billionaires also with their control over governments, so in effect the global elite control 80+% of the wealth. When the miners take the SegWit donations probably at the halving this May 2020, then you will know that the global elite control Bitcoin and the cryptocosm. They will first crash the public confidence in Bitcoin, by destroying Core Bitcoin so that the public associates decentralized, trustless cryptocurrency with scams. This will open the door for Facebook’s 666 Libra, as the general public will want something that is more “trustworthy”. It’s all doublespeak because the global elite are playing 5D with the sheepeople’s pea-size brains.

The Libra+Bitcoin plan underway is how they consolidate their power over the world into a more firm grip with totalitarian control and tracking over everyone. So they can fully enslave all the sheepeople. Forced chemical lobotomies, forced chemical castration of males, etc.. to reduce the human population to their 500 million goal. This will come in stages over the next few decades.

If so, you’re not very astute at judging the intellect of others.

To erect another one? You're not listening. But the present globalized 666 system already works. They already own 99% of everything.

Plus let's also point out that that is misinformation. The Libra white paper never made a statement of Bitcoin as its "reserve currency". Bitcoin's high volatility would be a liability.

The Libra white paper, https://libra.org/en-US/white-paper/

Quote

Libra is designed to be a stable digital cryptocurrency that will be fully backed by a reserve of real assets — the Libra Reserve — and supported by a competitive network of exchanges buying and selling Libra. That means anyone with Libra has a high degree of assurance they can convert their digital currency into local fiat currency based on an exchange rate, just like exchanging one currency for another when traveling. This approach is similar to how other currencies were introduced in the past: to help instill trust in a new currency and gain widespread adoption during its infancy, it was guaranteed that a country’s notes could be traded in for real assets, such as gold. Instead of backing Libra with gold, though, it will be backed by a collection of low-volatility assets, such as bank deposits and short-term government securities in currencies from stable and reputable central banks.

The point is that if you are holding your BTC in SegWit addresses that begin with a 3 instead of Satoshi's protocol addresses that begin with 1, then all your BTC is going to be taken by the miners as donations if Craig Wright fulfills his promise to restore Satoshi’s protocol. You will not have any notice nor time to react. By the time you hear about it, your BTC will be gone. Poof. Gone. Note BSV is apparently a red herring and is not Satoshi’s immutable protocol that will be restored.

Quote from: Shelby
I updated the following Steemit post. I want you to view the charts and read at least the first (at the very top of the post) and last link (at the very bottom of) the post, which I will discuss below.

https://steemit.com/money/@anonymint/re-anonymint-countries-vulnerable-to-economic-devastation-soon-20180629t105111746z

Archive:

http://archive.is/https://steemit.com/money/@anonymint/re-anonymint-countries-vulnerable-to-economic-devastation-soon-20180629t105111746z


So the charts indicate the 2014 solar (sunspot) cycle peaked ~150 which was ~20% lower then the ~190 peak of the prior two 11 year solar cycles.

The #24 solar cycle (“cooling”) bottomed in 2019.

Armstrong is making the following points:

1. Cycle #25 (“warming”) will peak at least 33% less than cycle #24 and possibly as low as 50% less.

2. We’re headed into food shortages (and thus increased food prices) due to this rapid change in the climate due the Maunder Minimum in the sun which is worsening, with a backtested scientific model projecting of a Mini-Ice Age by 2030.

3. The world stands at a precipice of a significant contagion and stagflation that will make a lot of debt unserviceable. This is the bankster’s business model:

http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/01.10/thinklikeabanker.html

(note above linked blog was written in January 2010)

So the bankster’s plan is currently at the stage before the “Onset of hyperinflation”. That hyperinflation can’t come until most people do not hold debt, because the banksters would not want to hyperinflate away the widely held debt allowing people to retain their debt financed assets without paying for them. First the banksters want to default those loans and take possession of the assets while pushing most people into poverty and dependence on socialism (in short slavery).

I add to these points that the coming inflation will not only be cost push, but also monetary. The strong dollar vortex will cause huge inflation in the other countries due to the weakening value of their local currencies. Facebook’s Libra providing a way for citizens all over the world to hold dollars will exacerbate the coming strong dollar vortex.

So first we will get the strong dollar and global stagflation, so then later (~2024 – 2028?) when the dollar is to be crashed, this future extreme stagflation in the USA (because everything imported will cost more as the dollar crashes and global economy will be toasted except Asia will be starting to grow again as the dollar crashes so demand will outstrip supply of many things due to the prior contraction outside the USA under the strong dollar). So as the dollar crashes real estate values will plummet in the USA (the exhale of foreign capital that exits after stampeding into the USD during the preceding the vortex), which will cause so many debt defaults. Then after that the bankster plan is to hyperinflate the dollar which they can do by for example backing Libra (which should be ubiquitously used outside the USA by that time because of the strong dollar vortex) with legacy Bitcoin (not the Bitcoin Core which is not Bitcoin and will be destroyed this coming May 2020). That will force the Fed to monetize the government’s $1+ trillion annual debts which will worsen after 2024 when socialism grinds the USA into the abyss after Trump is done with his second term.

In short, astute investors will become extremely wealthy (although most will lose everything because they’re not paying attention), but many people are going to end up on Universal Basic Income slavery within a decade or two.

I would be curious about "Rogue Wave" opinions about "Native" SegWit addresses (Bech32 addresses) like the below:

bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej

bc1qmrmfs07jnngy8f69sln9p7lpv5dmg0lfxhdfrz

I am also curious as to why some of those "bc1qxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" addresses are so much longer than others.  Both above addresses from Block 587155.

Anyone who's not delusional would know that "restoring Satoshi's protocol" would be another chain, that would not be the "BTC" ticker in the exchanges. Not worth the risk for miners.

Update from Shelby, being passed on by an impartial observer:

Quote from: Shelby
This is obviously based on the assumption of a SegWit donations attack at the halving event in May 2020, with the need for the price to moon before the halving so then when the price is crashed by Craig Wright dumping ~1 million BTC then the SegWit (i.e. Core) blockchain will lose most of its miners and thus slow down to perhaps 1 block found every week (instead of every 10 minutes) and with the mining difficult not to be reset (without some centralized intervention) for perhaps a year or never. The inability of the SegWit blockchain to proces transactions as the price craters will cause the price to crater even more in a spiraling into the death-of-coin abyss effect.

pinning all his hopes on craig wright is a baffling decision, but maybe it'll pay off. it's a high reward bet---someone's bound to take it.

a judge ordered craig to pay, (https://www.coindesk.com/judge-confirms-ruling-craig-wright-to-forfeit-50-of-bitcoin-holdings) but that doesn't mean he paid.

here's my take: craig obviously doesn't own shit. ira and his attorneys already know this. the court order is just leverage to force craig into forking over as much cash as possible. this will be settled out of court.

No, I havent. But were not these coins in several different wallets?
If CSW have them stored in a hdd, he could put half of those wallets in a pendrive and give it to Ira.
This, however, does not means he have the password for them.

Now, if the hdd itself is encrypted (and not just the individual wallets), he cant even send these wallets to Ira, which is even worse for Shelby's conspiracy theory.

I dont believe CSW will break this encryption. I think he is not even trying, its just a show to promote BSV.
But if bitcoin goes down, so does BSV.

If Bitcoin goes down, and dies, every cryptocurrency also will go down and die. No other self-bootstrapped cryptocurrency will reach the same network-effects like Bitcoin in 50 years in my opinion. It's a precious breakthrough.

How can you believe one single word of any conceivable angle of the entirety of this tale? There's no proof Dave Kleiman had anything to do with BTC. There's no proof of anything about Craigy other than the proof he himself has provided of his being a corpulent fantasist.

Does that

here's my take: craig obviously doesn't own shit. ira and his attorneys already know this. the court order is just leverage to force craig into forking over as much cash as possible. this will be settled out of court.

This specific issue was already discussed in the Long-term advance notice thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147618.msg52292964#msg52292964) wherein I pointed out that Craig Wright (probably intentionally created/incited the court case against himself by fabricating the entire story about Ira Kleiman and) will end up selling his free airdropped Bitcoin Core protocol BTC (those with an address that begins with 3) on the exchanges after he covertly splits the chain with the huge mining farm their group controls. This dumping on exchanges will kick off the collapse in the price of BTC Core. He will retain his legacy BTC (those with an address that begins with 1) since those are going to $1+ million each.

Even if you believe that Craig Wright is not a silly puppet of the very serious global elite who I posited created Bitcoin and their posited Facebook Libra + Bitcoin 666 masterplan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157901.0;all), don’t forget that the Trilema.com dude is presumably also on board (http://trilema.com/2015/if-you-go-on-a-bitcoin-fork-irrespective-which-scammer-proposes-it-you-will-lose-your-bitcoins/) this donations attack (he is my original source of the idea (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@anonymint/shocking-crisis-coming-to-cryptocurrency-in-sept) before Craig even mentioned it two years later) who was also the Ethereum DAO attacker (http://trilema.com/2016/to-the-dao-and-the-ethereum-community-fuck-you/), had amassed ~0.5 million BTC from his investments in for example SatoshiDice. Note lately it seems the Trilema dude has been attempting to make it appear that his group is in disarray and lost all their fortune. I presume this is for optics to fool the plebs. Seems every long-term hodler Bitcoin $billionaire (https://btcmanager.com/burning-long-term-holders-bitcoin-castle-marks-beginning-new-era/) seems to pretend they’ve gone mad (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=793787.0) and lost all their BTC. Perhaps it has something to do with not wanting to have the entire world of gangsters aiming to drill a hole in your leg (https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/02/23/bitcoin-traders-beware-group-of-robbers-gruesomely-torture-netherlands-based-crypto-trader/).

https://i.imgur.com/30njPii.jpg (https://www.punkinfinland.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98575&start=1410#p15147473)

Don’t forget he was my silver business friend before Bitcoin and I gave him the thumbs up to sell $100k of silver to buy 10,000 BTC in 2012/2013.

only $80k though? disappointing. my asks are all in the 6-figure range. see you on the order book, shelby. ;)

In addition to the estimates of $80k which I triangulated from multiple analyses, I conservatively expect it to remain within the dark band above the stock-to-flows valuation model if peaking at the halving instead of well after:

https://i.imgur.com/a4AdH89.png (https://twitter.com/hamal03/status/1187404271328870400)

pinning all his hopes on craig wright is a baffling decision, but maybe it'll pay off. it's a high reward bet---someone's bound to take it.

Note I’m not selling all my legacy BTC which I expect to continue up to $1+ million (while the Bitcoin Core/SegWit blockchain forks-off and dies) if you can find an OTC exchange to transact on if the SegWit donations (poison pill defense) “attack” bankrupts most of the exchanges, Bakkt, CME, etc..

The majority is always wrong:


At present, various media, crypto-Twitter and other involved parties continue to frequently mention Bitcoin’s 2020 halving. The majority infers that the asset will rise significantly either before or after the halving and this assumption is  based on analysis of previous halvings.

This hype and anticipation could be the perfect storm of circumstances to create a “buy the rumor, sell the news” type of situation, at least in the short term.

Essentially, in many markets, a highly anticipated event will often spike the price of related assets in the days leading up to that event. Once the event occurs, the prices for those assets often drop notably.

@gentlemand, yeah right I don’t have any skin in the game.  ;)  ;) Your “civilized” groupthink culture across the pond can’t even fight your way out of wet brown paper bag to accomplish Brexit. Remain focused on your drinking and oblivious to the real world. @infofront presumably (very rarely) posts on my behalf (if I beg him enough) so that I can either make a fool of myself and/or so that (I can be vindicated and) at least everyone will have had access to the information so everyone can decide for themselves. Perhaps you prefer to remain inebriated in a very politely ignorant, information-controlled, gestapo “civilization” sipping spiked tea, twiddling your thumbs while Rome burns.
