(sorry... i recently stumbled upon my teen's diary and now I speak in hieroglyphics)

Back up... could you define "start"?

Wow, looks like i lost a couple coins pretty quick. But the fireworks are pretty!
Go-Go-Gadget-Price!

her husband must be furious!



Nano took a lot of time to carefully go through and unmask your delusion multiple times in a dandy little timeline. It was gift from her to us. She practically put a li'l red bow on it. I'm not going to bother with it again when the truth is clear. All we need is for you begin deliriously shouting at us that you've "called the bottom" when you have done no such thing and we'll rename you BJAllen. You two can Indian Leg Wrestle over who needs the most attention.

Nano already covered the bases well enough a couple days ago. Begone, welp!

lol... let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?

...as you always say, even when you weren't. I wonder sometimes if you are more delusional than Risto.

Nice! I hope I was wrong about my slightly bearish view even if I did sell a couple coins. Would like to see fireworks again.

Having read many of your other posts I understand you do not admit when you're wrong so I will leave you whatever last words on this you'd like, however you've now changed the topic, stated your opinion as fact, and not bothered to address any of your earlier mistakes. So it wouldn't really be worth the effort to continue correcting you.

Some might say I am the one with perspective. Not in this nuthouse forum however.

I mean the value of Bitcoin went down, just as the dollar does when it inflates. Whether it is anticipated or not has no bearing on your original claim. Same with whether Ross secured his funds properly or not. You know this. You're not stupid. You simply have rhetoric that you don't want to back away from. Some might call that disingenuous, especially since you're smart enough to realize your mistake.

You're a smart guy but you fail to think like a marketer. The majority of the world doesn't want to hear paranoid Libertarian rants, whether they're true or not. You must talk to the majority as either children or horny adults. Tell them Bitcoin is fun! Tell them they can tip each other for the coolest/funniest Reddit comments! Promise them candy, or drugs and sex. Stop talking to them about the blockchain, cool as it is.

BTW, DPR got his coins confiscated and people get coins outright taken all the time so maybe re-evaluate your rhetoric. Also, have you not noticed Bitcoin's deflation (i meant inflation, i mean deflation, aw fuck it, the price dropped!) since November?

In Antonopoulos' response I find it interesting he says, "I will continue to advocate for security controls rather than trust in individuals." This really drives a stake into the heart of Bitcoin philosophy which is something like, "Trust in math and individuals rather than the relative security of banks."

We have banks because even though they do naughty things from time to time, they are relatively secure whereas individuals are not. Perhaps recently banks have begun to wear out their welcome by overstepping but we shouldn't forget life is about balance. Perhaps Bitcoin won't replace banks but will find a role in keeping banks from being so overbearing.

To the Bat Cave!

Is it news China is a cesspool? I mean people are pointing at the multi-million dollar face mask industry because folks feel that industry, of all things, isn't doing enough to stop the pollution they have to live in. That's absurd.

As Sam Kinison once screamed about US Aid for Africa:
If you want to stop world hunger stop sending food to starving people in Africa. Don't send them another bite. Send them a U-haul instead. Send luggage. Send them a guy to tell them they wouldn't starve if they lived where food grows. You understand? You live in a fucking desert! Of course you're going to starve! Nothing grows out here! Nothing's GOING to grow out here! You see this... this is sand, yeah, sand, see? Know what it'll be in a hundred years? SAND!

My only real concern is that if we see sub-$266 it could shake some old timers up. We could see innovation stagnation. It could really send us into an extended bear market.

We're already in a lopsided situation where although more and more merchants are accepting BTC yet we don't seem to have many consumers on board. Bitcoin has pretty obvious negatives for consumers, who just want "safe and easy." I imagine "safe and easy" is in the pipeline, but of course the problem is it is my imagination only.

My hope is Twitter incorporates it as a tipping mechanism. Much more than Amazon, this to me would signify massive exposure within a highly appropriate use case (just as Reddit's tipbots). That would be a base from which it could explode into ecommerce because of popularity and familiarity, even though personally I do not see Bitcoin as a great payment system for ecommerce at this time.

Where have you been, Cipher? Nearly a month missing from your own "analysis" thread.

It's odd we don't see you here now that you were so incredibly far off the mark with your random price guesses. I'm sorry, I meant "math." That's what you claimed to use, right, when Arepo inquired about your prediction?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518871.msg5816338#msg5816338

I mean you assured us we'd only drop to $580 in March (maybe 550 at lowest), not $450 as we did. Your price acumen also led us to believe we'd see $694 on 4/16 -- why are we at $480? At nearly $220 off the mark that means you're wrong by roughly 45%! Eekgads, man. I guess it's back to peddling software codes and other fishy Bitcoin enterprises...

Here is the post I originally wrote to you but did not submit because I wanted to give you some rope... Enjoy! (imagine this post starts with you asking, "When did I guess wrong?")

You haven't given it enough time yet. You understand humans don't know the future, right? Being correct once or twice or even 3 times about a future event doesn't mean you know anything more about the future than my 3-year old niece or my pet dog. It may make you observant. It may make you fortunate. It doesn't make you future gnostic. Fortunately for your efforts humans are superstitious.

You made the prediction a day ago. I think most people here are assuming it looked like there would be a drop of up to $20-$100 and then believe it'll rise. You didn't exactly go out on a limb. But of course the first thing you do on the drop, to gain trust, is jump into a thread you do not participate in and declare your genius to the world. Your post history has nearly ZERO price prediction before yesterday.

Look, whatever scam you're up to just hasn't played out yet. You're involved in every scammy/scummy Bitcoin enterprise in existence. It is leading to only one end, and that is you running with other people's BTC without them receiving whatever you promised. The community doesn't need any more of YOU.

Seriously, you're selling gift cards, used electronics (oh, by the way you declared you're starting a "bitcoin museum" and are looking for stuff "super cheap"), video game codes, ASIC hosting (how generous of you), hashing power payouts, prognostication services (preparing to sell this, or just driving people to your awesome WP site?), buying used Casascius coins "for fun", etc. You are a walking scam waiting to explode.

You're in the "gaining trust" phase either for a bigger event or waiting to see which smaller scam offers quickest/biggest returns, have likely scammed others in the past (or perhaps you're a young gamer and burgeoning thief?), and are ready to move into the phase where you either start taking payments for pyramids, fortune telling services or start selling more expensive stuff that never arrives.

Or perhaps how long until folks realize their "hosted" machines are supplying the "hashing power" you're selling? You posted in January 2014: "I absolutely LOVE your setup! now to find a datacenter to host some of my miners.." Yet you now offer hosting services yourself? What are you, a Joe Blow reseller who has magically found a way to make ROI on miner hosting? You're probably running a bunch of smaller varying scam setups waiting to see which one begins to pay out the most more quickly.

But you should thank me for this post. Something like it gets posted in the lifetime of every scammer. Unfortunately it causes the dumbest humans to defend you because it does actually appear you haven't scammed anyone yet or haven't been caught. Congrats on that. We wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions about you. So for now, everyone can pile on me and tell me what a terrible human I am. I mean, you're just an entrepreneur, trying to make a buck, right?

Interesting Neo & Bee article:

Looking at the 6 month chart it appears we could be on our way to $300... DOH!

There was a rash of people sending beacons a year or so ago, and links to sniff IP addresses. If I recall some were banned. You'd have to ask a mod why the software allows it.
