I sold a load of ETH I picked up as BTC rose on this news - but the price is not hardly tanking.... Do ETHers not care?! |

(Team) Roger and BCachers are a cancer to crypto.  But he's 'Jesus' - the face we are proud to have as the arse face of our coin. |

A bit late for the party, I guess the news travels slower if you're out of date, and not getting wealthier because you hold the right coin
Wut? looks like I was right on time. But yah, hodling the right coin is key. I meant theoretically, the coldest, smartest cash was all in (or long) around $160 and cashed out over $295 - an opportunity which it is now too late to benefit from. Going short now is potentially a little late, too - but nonetheless an option of course. Monero certainly has enough liquidity for any bet one could wish to make. Lastly trolling is an option, too - for those who can't afford to bet, or have psychopathic, narcissistic personalities and cannot help it. Unfortunately it seems it's never too late for that... At least we agree hodling is the right coin is the best policy as some lucky ones here have been with XMR since sub 30c. |

Awesome guys...your back and in fine form. +10 WOsMerit airdrop! This is is prep for the upcoming $10k meme fest that is brewing. #dyor Ok..we have 3 semi-finalist the Rocket gif...just can hardly take my eyes off that. Nice. The Lambo ...same thing..looks like a lot of fun but man..those things are hard to get in and out of..ahem..for some of us old farts.  the BFR...well..just because its a Big Freakin Rocket..lol. Keenly following the die build up happening in LA. ----------------- Bitcoin Solidly approaching mid-channel on this lower track. Looks good. I expect this to continue past 10k..the magnet is sitting at 11.8k or something last time I looked. This does not mean we might go straight there...bounces, accumulation and consolidation still will happen. Never be afraid to lock in profit.   Merit back at ya. I'm off to bed. (I still er... 'work') |

Hard to say... Last time everything went so fast that it had to implode as it did... OTOH, FOMO pumps are so fun! Whatever. I don't have no hurry as soon as it keeps bullish. And yeah, the headlines about Bitcoin's phoenix recovery and being over $10K again will be all over the place. Life is good again  Can't argue with that. I feared a long crypto winter. But I want to start believing it's not going to happen. |

Against BTC, CMC is a sea of red just now. I can't see 10K tonight, but when it pops into 5 figures it looks like a lot of cash will move over fast. |

I am not emotionally ready for $10,000
Keep it up, it's been working... Please say you're not emotionally ready for... ooh, say $15,000? |

Next weeks is when we start receiving calls from friends asking where to buy Bitcoin... again. Yup, the same ones that during the past months were so happy they didn't BTFD. But those are the "early-callers"... Real FOMOers will wait until it tops again.
Yep, I am sure you're right - but sometimes a little frisson of interest presages a lot more FOMO. Post 10K (if / when it comes) media could kick in a little. I can see 'Is Bitcoin back?' press showing in pretty quickly.... Stocks are looking shit, why not? Hairy is probably right about consolidation being a good thing... but |

Yup - it sin't taking much of a breather, is it.
10K doesn't look so far away all of a sudden. At this rate it might even be worth staying up past my bedtime.

Lovin' the rockets - keep it up chaps! EDIT: Three Brits in a row posting too? Sweet. |

zcash and monero are both raising the price Fast. but I think that in the future, monero will come forward. investors and holders are very strong and faithful. Probably because Zcash is being adopted by AirTM. In fact I called this pump a couple of weeks ago. Nice call and nice steemit post... Monero has more market exposure but nothing was more anticipated then a zerocash protocol coin, what is it about zk-snarks that makes Zcash dif from monero? Keeping my post price related ...sorry but I think Zcash will do better than monero price wise this year, with sapling in the works i see big price action with Zcash....not that monero won't do well either. Hmm... Zcash? Wrong thread, chaps. Monero types don't like back doors Privacy is serious stuff - DYOR? |

IMO he is right, at least for me XMR is the No2 after Bitcoin. And i think thats the case for many bitcoiners. Dash doesnt stand a chance sry.  Thats funny. But you can keep your opaque blockchain, makes it fungible right? In which you have to trust without being able to verify that no-one is minting coins sneakily via an exploit or bug. Or you can have privacy hoping that the single point of failure encryption wont be cracked revealing all your transactions. Like here http://hackingdistributed.com/2017/04/19/monero-linkability/ Not to mention slow transactions, bloated blockchain.. Think bitcoin has scaling problems? But Monero does now have a wallet, which is progress. 1. You can of course verify the total number of coins 2. If the encryption is cracked crypto ist fucked anyway 3. This is old news and was adressed with RingCT 4. Bulletproofs will reduce TX size by 80-90% 5. Ledger support with next release ~ 2 weeks Monero ist solid development, no hype. It grows slowly but surely. @Fatman Dont know, but you sound a bit salty. Ah and trezor integration is in the works. CMC ist not a good metric, e.g. Rank 5-100 are better coins then the scams in 3&4. ( OK Tron is also a Scam ) You're right of course, but you won't convince him, he's a Dash fanboi. Bless him. |

So, we are approaching 10k... where are the rockets, trains, that kind of stuff?
I only see people talking about Roger's Cash. Do Roger deserves so much attention?
That's odd, I think of this thread as being more about conspiracy theories, race hatred and how Hitler didn't really do much that was well, y'know actually 'bad'. Maybe it's just me though. It is, it is. But we still have intermissions of rockets, trains, and that kind of stuff. That's why I can't stay away; it's the intermissions. Hard to beat a bullish bitcoin, along with a boozy beverage and some serious ballistics blasting off. Beautiful. |

BCH has been done, yep. Ok how about a war with another coin? One that will put up a credible fight, maybe.... |

I'm not disgusted with reality. I'm disgusted with tireless back and forth drilling of the same old stuff by the few that care about it, to the detriment of the silent majority who doesn't mind a nice OT, but couldn't give fewer fucks about racist (un)subtleties than an annoyed honey badger.
Wise words. However, since the average poster on here seems to me politically to lie somewhere between casually racist and far right white supremecist, I doubt the wise words of those with a differing point of view are either welcome or at all digested.
Quite a few earlier posters totally disengaged long ago. It really isn't difficult to disrupt a discussion thread.
Too true. I have always visited this place because of a belief in Bitcoin and for a long time it's been my only connection with a whole bunch of other people who I thought were here for that too. But these days I often feel I need decontamination after reading a few pages - and that's even with a fairly large ignore list. The WO is often brilliantly off topic, but racist propaganda is not what I am looking for, especially from people who aren't even Bitcoiners and probably think they're winning because no-one has yet shown them the door, they often still get given the time of day and they quoted like they have a point that is relevant here. It's like this: I wouldn't stay in a drinking joint with a bunch of people at the other end of the bar with swastikas on their jackets talking loudly and ignorantly about Jews or Muslims (or women, come to that). Partly because it would disgust me and I would probably end up getting into a fight with that sort of pondlife - it runs in my family.... Mostly because I would hate anyone to judge me by the company I keep. |

Am I doing this WO thing right?   First post I have enjoyed on here today. I don't agree with all you say, Torque - but you are a pillar of this thread. |

Yeah - granted - maybe it was just short busting fun for whales - but 'events' sometimes do have an effect, or create an opportunity in markets, too. Nite all! on European time here. Can you keep it over $7800 while I get some kip? tia. |

Ref: spike:
Apparently some Russinas have been rattled by new list of people 'to be sanctioned' outside Russia (due to current situation of Russian oligarchs not being quite so in fashion) and said formerly welcome rich types have started to panic about getting funds out of the west, just in case the list and / or financial sanctions go even further.
Well, it's possible - no proof, chaps - but it was just 'mentioned' on BBC world service. Maybe converting overseas funds into BTC is a way to get money out fast? What would you do?
Edit: there have also been massive stock market drops and a weakening of the Rouble. According to Reuters: 'Reuters calculations show that three Russian tycoons may have lost a combined $7.5 billion since the list of U.S. sanctions was announced.'
The new sanctions were announced on Friday, the markets recovered a bit today over there, but it's very edgy, still. News items on TV about 'what foods are best to have in the event of a nuclear attack' have not exactly helped...
