My question to those who predict 100K within less than two years or so.
Why the discounting mechanism is not working?
Either the model is wrong/irrelevant OR the market is incapable of correctly pricing future expectations now.
The latter. We've seen this time and time again. The world at large has not yet awakened to the fact that they need a form of money that is not inflationary, and is free from intervening middlemen who can conspire to thwart or devalue their transactions. |

I just put a chunk of my btc holdings into celsius.network to earn interest
A quarter-old entity based in a remote area of the world? What could possibly go wrong? |

I have been having some troubles with the seemingly cancelling of BTC buy/sell orders on one of my exchanges.
Either I don't put the BTC buy or sell order through properly, or sometimes such orders are cancelling before they execute/fill
Hmm. If I were in your shoes, I'd determine definitively whether it was me or the exchange that was at fault. If the exchange (indeed), I'd move to an exchange that treated me better. Thx for quoting this , I had polo do this to me for 6 months, about a year before circle bought them, when I was margin trading and it was only when I made a winning bet a instant before the bots changed direction. I had the timing down pretty well and i guess they didn't like that.  Which exchange JJG? Just because of some things that have been going on, I am not going to disclose which exchange, and I don't really believe that the cancelling of my BTC orders is a BIG deal.... I disagree. Well, not about your right to non-disclosure, but of your willingness to let your exchange get away with screwing you. Holy fuck. Is this what I get for engaging with bcash pumpin shill trolls? A bunch of assumptions regarding facts not in evidence. I already told you that the issue is not as BIG as you are making it out to be, but you want to make the matter some kind of central theme just to stir more shit than necessary. 'Bcash' ain't got nuttin' to do with it. I am merely responding to your written words (i.e., the facts in evidence) - to wit: I have been having some troubles with the seemingly cancelling of BTC buy/sell orders on one of my exchanges.

If your exchange is unilaterally cancelling your orders on you, that's not A Good Thing. I am puzzled why anyone would continue to deal with an organization that acts with such mendacity. That's all I'm sayin'. |

Well, not about your right to non-disclosure, but of your willingness to let your exchange get away with screwing you. sometimes there can be a few difficulties to vote with your feet in our current atmosphere, including the fact that some exchanges offer differing features, and there could be some reluctancies regarding setting up more and more accounts.
Battered spouse syndrome? Jbreher should know that as well as anyone when he is involved in variations of bcash which tend to be less liquid than BTC, but maybe he is just trying to assert that bcash is expanding and wanting to suggest that people involved in a variety of shitcoins, including bcash, have more trading platform options as compared with BTC?
Not at all. I am just saying that such unilateral bad behavior (likely tacit evidence of front-running) should not be tolerated. Whatevs, man. If'n you enjoy (figuratively) taking it up the rear, that's your choice. |

I'm having a hard time taking that article seriously, what with all the shoe-throwing going on. I thought that was limited to an insult in the Muslim world. The bitcoin price, up some 200% so far this year, has somewhat recovered after a terrible 2018 largely due to interest in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from some of the world's biggest tech companies, including social media giant Facebook which unveiled its planned libra cryptocurrency project last month and is scheduled for release some time in 2020—if the sandal-hit company can convince regulators of its merits. |

And why are the transaction fees up again??
Because BTC devs have imposed an economically-ignorant centrally-planned production quota upon transaction throughput capacity, which is insufficient to meet current natural demand. |

If you've not been through the exercise of packing a Bug Out Bag, you might be unpleasantly surprised as to how impractical PMs can be.
So you're saying that in an end of the world scenario where no monetary instrument has value at all and the skies are covered in radioactive clouds and you're leaving all your belongings and vehicles behind at your house that it's inconvenient to carry a million dollars worth of physical metals in your pocket while attempting to run away from the hypersonic nuclear missiles? Okay. That 45 pounds of shiny metals is gonna slow you down quite considerably when trying to 'run away from the hypersonic nuclear missiles'. I'd allocate some of that weight to food, water, and 5.56. |

But that said, the answer is yes. Such as OP_MUL, for one.
Was already in bitcoin and was disabled. Not exactly breakthrough technology we're talking about here. True. Not breakthrough technology. Crucial technology. RBF, OTOH, has been exploited.
Oh, you mean somebody accepting a zero confirmation transaction as payment that is later double spent? That's not an exploit. Sez you. |

Officials seize $5 million in gold bars at Heathrow Airport, reportedly from drug cartel
I had to check they were different stories. Pretty sure $5m wouldn't fit, even split 4 ways. If you've not been through the exercise of packing a Bug Out Bag, you might be unpleasantly surprised as to how impractical PMs can be. |

By the way... jbreher is posting on behalf of the gov, isn't it ssssoooooo obvious?

Regardless, there are clearly other merits besides one of its prominent promoter's claim of being satoshi.
Such as? Anything bitcoin hasn't already done? Nice shifting of the goalposts, inasmuch as I assume you are now referring to BTC where you were previously referring to BCH. But that said, the answer is yes. Such as OP_MUL, for one. No. Porting SegWit to BSV would be a straightforward task. We prefer Bitcoin SV to Bitcoin SegWit -- in part -- as Bitcoin SegWit provides additional attack vectors that are not present in the original protocol.
... you mean theoretical "attack vectors" that have yet to actually be exploited. Some yes, some no. The most grievous attack vector has not been exploited as of yet, this is true. And good thing too. For if it ever does get exploited, it may in itself prove fatal for BTC. RBF, OTOH, has been exploited. At least you're not trying to justify the silly hatred of LN by big blockers.
Well, you didn't ask about LN's weaknesses. You asked specifically about those of SegWit. |

I'm still asking myself if roachPosts are ingenious satire or pure sarcasm.
Pure BTC butt hurt, PM's paid shill. It's his job to be our WO pet.  I admit, it's too entertaining for me to hit the ignore button. Let me choose a matching counter-avatar ASAP... EDIT: Oh no! Still no avatar for users of my rank?!  https://imgur.com/a/q19p5bbmakrospex ... Max Headroom. Yeah, that's kinda alliterative. From 'counter-avatar', I was expecting maybe the anthropomorphized can of bug spray that Raid used to employ in advertising campaigns of old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zl9Q8wS_x4 |

I just have yet to see an intellectually honest argument that suggests BSV has merits beyond its creator supposedly being Satoshi Nakamoto.
Of course not. You are coming to this with an internal bias that prevents you from honest analysis. If you can't see that the capacity for increased numbers of transactions is additional utility, that's on you. An additional utility at what cost? At the cost of an unwieldy blockchain and leading down the slope toward centralization. I'll refer to that sentence as A. As I previously mentioned, we already have a big block experiment and it currently averages around 160 KB per block.
I'll refer to that sentence as B. Claiming both A and B is logically inconsistent. BSV won't start to become relevant as a technically meritable until BCH's blocks get filled.
Well, on the blocksize basis alone, I'd need to agree. However, there are other characteristics that distinguish these two chains. Regardless, there are clearly other merits besides one of its prominent promoter's claim of being satoshi. Block size limitation has fostered innovation the likes of which BCH and BSV can only dream of, which is why they hate SegWit LN to the absurd degree that they do.
No. Porting SegWit to BSV would be a straightforward task. We prefer Bitcoin SV to Bitcoin SegWit -- in part -- as Bitcoin SegWit provides additional attack vectors that are not present in the original protocol. |

Watching your net worth slip downwards isn’t much fun, is it?
No, but it builds character. Also, gets easier with each trip through the cycle. Plus, much opportunity to build your stash. |

Google authenticator BLOWS, that thing is a piece of shit and you don't have a recovery seed anymore.
While a recovery mechanism is ... convenient ... it is also another attack vector. You always have the option of backing up each service's seed key as you create them. |

... but more likely jbreher ...
What The Fuck -- exactly -- are you insinuating, you yammering diarrhea-mouth? y u gett so worked up bout lil ting-il-lieees? Jeez, jbearbreher!! Well, if'n you're going to cast aspersions, you oughta be truthful, and ready to back up your gross invective. Anything less would be uncivilized. Largely, I think that I am fair enough to you, jbreher. No. Your attempt to deflect is forestalled. You are not wiggling out on this. You made a veiled accusation that I was in the employ of the US Government in order to derail any cryptocurrency progress. You tried to say it, while still giving yourself an out should you be called on it. Go fuck yourself, JJG. We agree to disagree. I believe that I am way too nice to you, and you believe that I am a BIG MEANIE. Not a big meanie, but someone who will stoop so low as to intentionally mis-characterize others in order to try to claim some sort of 'victory'. What'd I tell you guys
Zero. You told us zero. HaHAHAHJAHAHA gotta agree with you on that part. Can we make up now, jbreher? Sure. I can separate my vehemence in deflecting your lies about me from any sort of other personal interaction. ::mwah!:: Now go fuck yourself.  |
