I posted a link to my article in the relevant Steemit thread at the time as per the instructions.

I just made my first Lightning Network payment. Great feeling and I am impressed how far LN came in one single year.

2019 will be F* Great for Bitcoin.

I posted a Devcoin article at Steemit a while ago. It seems no share was given for this. Was this public relations event cancelled/scrapped?

I am very thankful for people FUDding this thread, confirming that the project is right on track and becoming increasingly known to the public.

That 2019 may become a great Nimiq year.

I installed Blue Wallet on my mobile to receive Lightning Network payments .... except receiving such payments is not supported by the wallet. But I already mined some mSats via the browser mining tool I posted a few posts back.

Anyone interested in these LN mSats, just post a LN payment request.

I think most linked articles in this one already made this thread but perhaps it is still helpful for some to catch up: “The Most Essential Crypto Long Reads 2018” by Nathaniel Whittemore https://link.medium.com/ubTRPEPM4S

The question is: how will Bitcoin fare under increased inflation. I know the answer.

In case you missed it  

Haha, good one  

Thanks for the update.

Your wallet info is in the wallet.dat file in the Roaming director (if Windows), I think. If you do not have that file, you are a long way from recovering your old wallet.

The step after verification of email is confusing. After logging in, the user is prompted to fill out and save personal profile information (name, address etc). But saving requires a verification code (it says 2FA code). But no 2FA code was set up in the process yet.

After some moments of confusion, I found an email in my inbox with a verification code (not 2FA). With that code, I could save my profile data.

Better to go to the official Devcoin thread where Devcoin Oldtimers hang out

Perhaps ‘The Bubble’.....

Greatest wealth transfer ever.

"Have assessed dozens of compelling arguments, charts and ratios for BTC having already bottomed, a 3K bottom, 2.5K bottom, 1K bottom etc.

Fact is nobody knows. All I know is price is 84% lower than a year ago and fundamentals have never looked better."

Good article but unfortunately only for Medium.com members: “Bitcoin and the Promise of Independent Property Rights” by Hasu https://link.medium.com/ewvJPkPtJS

Key take away:
"Civilization scales through cooperation, but cooperation between strangers is inherently hard. Social institutions can solve this prisoner’s dilemma and allow us to cooperate on a larger scale. At the bottom of the stack, we need a stable and benevolent monopoly on violence, to enforce the rules of the legal system and establish property rights. Until now, it was impossible to have strong property rights in places with a weak local government. Bitcoin does not depend on the existing system in any way and can give us the highest form of property rights, no matter who and where we are."

Those who think Bitcoin is done for will be in for a rude surprise.

Some people are buying cheap from those panic sellers. It will all pan out alright.

Divergence. I see Divergence!
