I been over this noobs..

Price means sweet fuck all.
Is a rising ponzi / pyramid scheme "legit" or alive or good ?

Seriously you are THAT dumb people.
Forever you all insist that a coin is successful etc via the market price data.
When in actual reality it means nothing at all what so ever.

The OP here is correct.
BTC is dead.
It's failed.

Unless drastic changes are made it's in a very serious precarious position.

Let me put it this way..
Anyone holding a small amount of BTC won't move it or risk taking a large penalty.
As a "currency" it has in fact failed miserably.

And your favorite Altcoin with the same user base moving coins with it would suffer as well.

I don't think people realize how it used to be vs how it is now with BTC.
It just gets worse & worse.
- It's now more complicated to move money. (a user now has to figure out why their TX isn't moving and then be mocked for not paying a high enough TX fee by BTC assholes)

- It costs a whole lot more than it did in 2013 for example.

- The wait times are simply unacceptable.

If BTC was launched now as an ICO which you all claim is REQUIRED.
It would be laughed off the forum as a stupid failure.

But yeah i have been pointing out the obvious to idiots here for years.
You are blind profiteers.. you are so obsessed with profits you see nothing else.

Market price of a coin is irrelevant.. everything else about it matters.
The most important thing is USAGE and adoption.

3% growth ?
Yeah duh.. there is a surge of shitcoin ponzi aficionado's running in here.
AND they need to buy Bitcoin to buy retarded shitcoins for ROI's.
That is what is fueling BTC's rise here.

I find it amusing we see dipshits say ETH will replace BTC soon.
Only problem is you need BTC to BUY Ethereum scam ICO "fuel tokens"
A rather large paradox no ?

Like i just said.. you all aren't too fucking bright  
What would you all do here with out me ?

PS:
Interac eTransfer costs 50 cents to move money.
Supported in more places than BTC and is instant.
Yup ..BTC failed big fucking time !

I expected as much.
I have been here for YEARS and anytime i post something like this you all 100% ignore me.

Fine..

But it proves me to me you are shallow greedy cowards hiding counting your scam coin profits.

You have nothing to say on it ?
No shit.. i already knew that.

The problem here is if i pin you losers down to a definition you are in deep-shit.
But i did not post this as a trap to try and argue though.

I posted this because when i got here there was already a consensus on the issue.
My beliefs were the same as everyone else's here.
Which went out the window in late 2013 and 1,000 times worse since.

This my profiteer friends is the topic you all want to bury and hide.
I'm jealous.. I'm a troll.. I'm "poor"... etc etc.
Ya but i have integrity.. unlike the rest of you.

Your silence speaks volumes and it's deafening.
You remember that..
I sure as hell will when i mention this topic again later when i am mentioning this to some idiot trying to make Altcoins seem legit.

decentralization  ?

I take it you seen ETH ranked as no. 2 ?
It is centrally controlled.
It's an ICO which is the antithesis of decentralization.
It has ICO's on it which makes it even worse.
It's traded for profits on mostly govt controlled centralized exchanges.

Anon ?

No thanks.
That will make what we're talking about here worse.
Compliance is the key to adoption.
Either you support regulations or crypto is going no where.
Unless you see a bright dark market niche coin future 

There will only ever be one FIRST COIN.

@crypticj
I have done others.. all apart of my "ETH not even once campaign" 

But Millennials ?

The new generation is fast getting on my nerves too !

Did you all see the ICO for "Fidget Spinner Coin"

I already addressed your accusation on that here.
I simply pointed out how all coins and plenty of others did - Even BITCOIN shot up super high !
As a matter of fact i posted that again about 3 comments back too.
AND ...
I also said i myself had probably tripled or quadrupled my money simply doing nothing
AKA: sitting on BTC.

May i ask do you ever get tired of being wrong ?

And it is you who is the fraud here.
Minecache was actually voted a fraud unanimously.
And many suspect you are the same person.. or in the same room with the other anon puppet shill.

Spartak and myself have been open and up front about things.
You two and stoat etc have not.
You are the crew of shady ETH shills that show up when prices go up and then vanish when they drop.
Making grandiose claims to noobs here with deliberately deceitful "news".

I would never kill my credibility by saying the stupid shit you and the other fraud shill says.
And i mention the other guy because he has a similar name and posts the same thing along with you.
Where one shows up the other is not far behind..

Spartak and myself do not post random comments about price increases predicted..
To go along with comments like "Big banks are buying shitloads of ETH"
Or IBM or Microsoft us "using" Ethereum.
Or Putin is meeting Butters because they want to use ETH for Russia etc etc.

Your creative accounting practices on this very topic illustrate the type of shit you pull here all the time.

You make wild claims to advertise Ethereum the ICO scam coin that are based on deceit.
Such as how you derived the numbers here in the first post.. that is fraudulent.

And i don't see how you can judge a guys haircut here if we don't get to see yours.

Bottom Line:
I often agree with Spartak but we have not always.
What i respect is he is trying to be real here and genuine.
He is not trying to deceive and manipulate people with fraudulent "news" to pad his wallet.
We need more Spartak's around here !
And less mining ETH fraudboys.

You all tell me what it means.
I am not kidding either.. i would like for you all to define what it means.

Does it even exist *anymore* ?

I have had my own interpretation of altcoin ideaology here since 2013.
What is yours ?

With out any ..isn't this just scammy shit then ?

How do you know if a dev is sitting on vast amounts of coins premined / ICO'd
then dumps them all at once crashing the price then abandoning the coin etc ?

Does knowing his name or "demo'ing the product" give you this future insight ?

I've said all along that it simply is NOT POSSIBLE to perform "due diligence"
You all simply repeat the same crap like a mantra.. to defend ICO's.
So you can carry on supporting them for profits.

I already know what you are all going to say.. i've heard it all before endlessly.

How to know if the ICO is scam ?
You don't.

Although LOL
I'd say it's a scammy distribution model.

What did i just say ?
If i can prove a dev does not need 1 million dollars to make his coin.. then what ?
Then is BlockNET a scam or not ?
Too many of you you defend that and say it's fine.
You defend Butters of the Ethereum ICO scam or the douche from BlockNET and say they are ENTITLED to rig the system and pay themselves many millions of dollars in free coins.

And why would you guys defend blatantly scammy behavior ?

ROI's

..it has sweet fuck all to do with White Paper's or Identities etc.

Perform "due diligence" --> https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=define%3A+ideaology

Shit just got real ?

Look at the prices of ALL coins on the cap..
All of them are inflated and bloated beyond comprehension.
This shit is seriously messed up fucking shit big time !

None of these "coins" should be priced at where they are.. except maybe BTC/LTC.

What is going on is sheer lunacy.
Shit got real ?
Uhh no shit got UNREAL !

This crap is a joke.

Hillarious how i launched BunnyCoin as my very first comment here in 2013.
Then Comkort posted a congrats on my topic saying they added my coin.
Problem is it was just a parody / joke where i copied & pasted bits from other bullshit clone coins.
(no coin existed / i used fake links to Github etc)

Fast forward and you will eventually see another idiot (dev) went and actually made a real clone coin using the same name.
I even got banned for trolling when i posted on their ANN years ago.

Now ?

What ?
Why not Kitteh coin or one of the 1,000's of other pointless shitcoin clones just like Doge Coin ?

The difference between this & "Shitcoin" and Doge is the wallet icon. 

GL with yur ROi'z  

Banning crypto coins would be impractical and unrealistic.
What we're really talking about is regulations etc.

As in they are allowed to exist.. but !

The "but" is that you will have to pay taxes for example on your exchange profits.
And.. that exchanges themselves will collect your picture ID etc to keep tabs on you.
This is already happening.

You guys fail to see WHY exchanges have a "getting verified" system in place.
They do it for one single reason.. LAW.

AML/KYC laws exist and are enforced and are utilized heavily by US govt 3 letter agencies.
How do you think US govt got the owner of KickAssTorrents info from Coinbase ? (to arrest Artem)
Which is funny because BigVern laundered millions there an got away with it.

I've gone through all this for years.
You all say the same stupid shit..

The same type of stupidity where users play dumb about Paypal's TOS with crypto.
Crypto has known it is against their rules all long since min 2012.
yet look at the market sections.. see 1,000's doing it ?
I seen some of them say they get caught and simply make a new account.
Well what happens when your account is seized and you can't pay the guy who bought BTC via PP ?
The anon forum guy vanishes.. that's what.

Yes that is one of countless forms of regulations employed ALREADY in crypto.
With much more on the way guaranteed.

Bottom Line:
Crypto is an island.
Ties to FIAT keep the life blood flowing.
If noobs can't show up here like they did en mass and chant "How do i send my money here?" on the Cryptsy chat box then we have a rather large problem.
Back then they all chanted no.. we don't need ties to FIAT.
Bullshit !

A currency can not be marooned on an island.
If value can not be moved from one currency to another we got problems.

And funny enough it's me who has been advocating breaking that barrier all along too.
I support faucets and mining etc.
It's how i got into crypto.. i never showed and spent my real money on this crap.
..like all of you Investards.

What kind of idiot buys crypto shitcoins with real money ?  

And if you do ?
There is a trail and a link etc to be guarded and regulated.

You were sayin' ?

Did you guys realize that coins used to be made with out an ICO ?

Last night i once again ran into a guy named "Thrillho" with the same avatar on a metal music Blog commenting.. again.
And for the second time i accused him of being the same guy as the one who started this topic and he ignored me again.

I think Thrillho / Thrillhou (character ThrillHouse from the Simpsons)
Likes crypto coins, lawsuits and heavy metal.

I post regularly on Disqus with my account name "xpmule" titled "Spoetnik" since mid 2013 (same as here)
https://disqus.com/by/xpmule/

The world needs FUD.

Oh and i also own the account name "BigVern" and mprep and many others regged on Freenode.
Such as BitcoinEXpress, Cryptsy, PaulVernon, Vlad2Vlad, smoothie, tokeweed

So come by IRC on Freenode and join the #Cryptsy channel !

Yes i heard this too as well as other things such as massive organizations etc.
They have huge systems in place to monitor people and they don't deny it either.
In order to watch people they have to find them LOL
I seen a show on TV about this and they make no effort to deny it.
Any US citizen can be put on the watch lists simply because of a political view.
It doesn't take much.

And money laundering is tracked already which is what the big problem is and would be with Altcoins.

This crap is no different than digital transfer of FIAT across borders etc.
And if "Mr.Joshua" the noob was here long enough he'd know that in 2013 Coindesk posted that FBI story because the guy moved 30k in BTC which violated ANTI-Money laundering laws.

And yeah i have an attitude because NOOBS show up saying "They can't stop us"
As the guy JUST SAID on this very topic..
Just like i heard all the time constantly when i warned you all this regulations shit was coming..
and you all lined up to laugh at me and mouth me off etc.

They did so i am 100% entitled to be a dick and yell I TOLD YOU SO !

I warned you all loud & clear about all this back in 2013 and onward and i was dismissed by the vast majority.

@Mr.Joshua
You are wrong.. know how i know ?
I'm here.

There is not a rule having an attitude here.
Being shocked by blatant stupidity posting tangibly proven false info.
Which is what happened on this topic.

You all line up to say "they can't" with you noob accounts.
And then i post they already did and here is proof all of it from years before you got here.
That makes you STUPID.
Know what stupid means ?

And you can blame yourselves.
I did not get the rules implemented.. YOU ALL DID with your dumb ass shitcoin faggotry.
I told you your dumb ass behavior would bring it on to yourselves and surprise surprise here it comes.

@Mr.Joshua
You implied i showed up just top call you all stupid.
Maybe but who brought up the points i mentioned ?
No one.
My comments were higher quality than all of yours combined.
Because i know more about this stuff than you NOOBS.

Seen my link to the SEC fraud warning issued bu the US govt ?
I am the only one who posted that too.
Not you guys.. you smart ass's didn't know it existed.
You have your heads shoved up your ass's naive & oblivious.

I have probably thousands of crypto bookmarks.. need more links ?
How about one more ?

http://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-users-court-bitcoin-irs/

Which one of you already posted that again ?
Oh that's right ..none of you.

True.. see I'm here and you all on this topic are GONE.

And guy earlier about BlockNET ?
Told ya so

And just a reminder.. i posted the ANN for Bunny Coin first.
So that other coin stole my idea and hijacked my coin !
I even had a congratulations from Comkort that they added my coin on my BunnyCoin topic.

Re-read the topic title.
And maybe stick to the cawing crow routine i heard since 2013.. they can't stop us.
..like the guy who posted that tired old fail cliche earlier here.  

News Flash.. they can and they DO !
Meanwhile some guys using Localbitcoins in Florida were arrested by the FBI in a parking lot.

If they try and stop Crypto then yeah it's going to have a massive impact.
Just because some users get away with it occasionally makes no difference.

For example..
How many of you cocky stupid mouthy retards used PAYPAL with crypto ?
Had your account seized yet ?

I don't need political rabble from noobs.
It doesn't matter which party is pulling strings.. they are all same shit different pile.
You all want to spout off like you know things with your noob accounts.
But line up and raise your hand if you paid your taxes on any crypto profits.

yeah i thought so.. so STFU idiots.

Get smart and do your homework morons..

Go to jail quicker kidiot profiteers  

PS:
How to enforce in a decentralized system the noob asks ?
News Flash: this shit ain't decentralized ahhahahha
Wake the fuck up little kiddys.

TL:DR

They are stupid, childish, greedy and immoral.. that's why.

That's fucking retarded.
You are not an "investor" and these are NOT companies.
Nor should they be.

Do i even need to go on from there ?

A good point you brought up.

I've never been able to think of a really super good reason to have ETH exist.
It just seems shockingly pointless to me.

I also see it as an ICO which are ALL UNFAIR AND SCAMMY.
But.. worse it was fucked with every step of the way.

Back in 2014 when it launched the whole scene thought ICO's were scammy and there was only a handful.
And.. no one had any interest in Ethereum either.
So when the ICO launched (they called it an IPO back then)
no one cared..

But shockingly some weird rich person was buying them up seconds after launch non stop for ages in 100 BTC buy order chunks.. as seen on the Block-Chain.

And that was just the beginning.. who funded the great 2016 pump and then dumped and later put up $12.50 buy walls for a year ?

I call it a scam because the actions behind ETH have been highly scammy.
Hell i didn't see anyone disagreeing when i launched a scam topic on ETH in 2014.
Nope.. it seemed the world agreed and avoided it for 2 years until IT GOT PUMPED HARD !
By whom ?

Like for fucking fuck sakes people how much do you want for proof ?
I didn't hear the idiots here complain when Butters dumped millions.
..unlike Satoshi.

Idiots were sitting here watching mined coins launching and thought SHIT I GOT IT !

"APP's"

and we'll call them "smart contracts" then we'll IPO/ICO it and pay our selves vast amounts of free money and then.. on top of that buy all the coins !


mmmmhhmmm LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGIT people

Unless of course you are any other coin.. then you all would be screaming scam.

You all think Bitcoin could have gone through all that and still get to where it is ?
You realize most of earth already thought BTC was a scam and made good arguments to support the idea long before ETH came along ?

PS:
Don't like my comment ?
Go launch a DAO about it.
..and FORK IT !

PPS:
I hear Facebook is now using Ethereum too.. and Google and Yahoo too.
Oh and big banks.. Russia.. ANON.. Microsoft & IBM etc etc etc...

You are greedy people and are blind to the smart contract fuel token dapps gimmick charade fer teh ROI't on yur white paper profitz coin valuations on yur roadmap ICO exchangers.

I bet slower maybe but stop ..no.
Reminds me of watching Cryptsy explode in popularity.
They did still add coins even though the platform was getting overloaded.
Because they got money from new coins and it's a business.
I recall many of us saying way back fix your platform before worrying about adding new coins.

I don't know though.. just some speculation.
