According this it won't work abroad unless you sign up in that country, but it doesn't look like a big deal. Throw up an amazon.co.uk link and I'll give it a try but it'll probably be a piddling amount as I'm relatively shopped out for now. It would be a good test anyway.

Segwit. It opens up the future in a way that BTU doesn't. I have much less of an idea of what that future would look like but that's what's intriguing about it. That choice doesn't even include weighing up the competence or hysteria levels of either sect but I'm fucking bored of that now.

Ah, of course, me brain isn't working too well. So would this work with Amazon.co.uk, de, it, es etc. as well and is it reliable? Not that it really matters as it's free money but I occasionally try to buy through a friend's affiliate link and it's really hit and miss.

Would this just be amazon.com or elsewhere too?

It's an intriguing idea but when I order something from Amazon I want it NOW.

Pools? Dunno.

Someone? I believe so.

Look at how empty it all became once Bitcoin Unlimited started looking scary and confident.

Get with the plan.

Once scaling is in place we can all argue about scaling each other. I envisage you being able to handle at least 290 TPS and I have the funds for the medical procedures to ensure it. Not to mention the cloning.

The US has gone one further than anyone else and pretty much rolled over to the will of corporate psychopaths. The same of course applies elsewhere but they add a little bit of tinsel to make it palatable.

A prime example of this is a nurse I knew in Denver. She was English but had worked at the same hospital for 35 years. Her brother was dying back in the UK. She asked for a month off (unpaid) to say her goodbyes. Her bosses said 'sure, but you'll have to reapply for your job when you get back.'

Now if that had happened in the UK the hospital would've gotten its arse torn off by the press at least, and possibly the law. Not in America. That's just business.

It was a strong rally backed by very little, not a bubble. A bubble is an order of magnitude or three more insane than the action we witnessed.

There was no compelling reason for the price to stay up there post no ETF.

The more time you spend in the US the more you realise how little it resembles any other first world country.

There's stuff that goes unquestioned there that would have every European farmer spraying their local parliament with slurry.

Margin trading added on GDAX. The only small issue is this -

"You are an individual who has amounts invested on a discretionary basis, the aggregate of which is in excess of $5,000,000 and you enter into margin trading in order to manage the risk associated with an asset owned or liability incurred, or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred, by the individual."

Shall we all chip in together?

No one on the exchanges cares about what any coin does.

And NEM definitely is undervalued in a multiple year time scale, but anyone buying now is being sucked into a normal pump and presumably the normal dump too. It could of course go higher and settle higher.

In the long term they'll be fine, short term there have been better times to buy.

I was watching them the last time it pumped too. Many of the contributions were 'XEM, Go, Woo.'

I assume they didn't stick around for the doldrums. It will unquestionably fall back and go quiet again.

It promotes awareness of a pump. As soon as the pump is over it's all gone again. Very few actually look outside of the exchange charts and know what they've actually bought into for a short time.

So does anyone have any plans for this current rise?

Nothing has changed since it was 300 satoshis a short while back. It's now riding the coattails of the wider pump.

Once the biggies start to falter do you think people will throw profits into smaller coins like XEM and push it higher?

I can't stand mustard so you'll be relegated to the guest tent, or rather wing. It's wonderful too.



Weren't there full on multi thousand coin sells in one go on Bitstamp? That's not the behaviour of your pal who you got into BTC capitulating.

Sausages and the skill to make them tasty. I'm really shit at cooking them so they have no place in my day to day life.

O so much doom.

The real professionals always knew the ETF was never going to happen and they knew perfectly well that they could prey on that once the expectations ran out. Chuck in some forking fun and hey presto thousands of 'traders' will thrust their coins into your hands at an agreeable price.

Me, I'm off to the Isles of Scilly for a few weeks with a tent filled with luxuries to see what the real world is like. You're all invited but bear in mind that I snore like an elephant seal's death rattle.

Bitcoin in Bitstamp is nothing more than an IOU from them to you. You don't have coins any more, just a credit. They can force details out of you to retrieve them, they may get hacked again, you're 100% dependent on their competence, good will  and luck.

Chinese coins, the type you can't withdraw from the exchange, are now more expensive than liberated ones. That's an odd little metric of something.

Not to mention btc-e being 20 bucks more too.

It's a pretty ropey selection these days. Circle is a huge loss for UK Bitcoin buyers. There was nothing else quite like it.

What some people interpret as apathy would be considered sensibleness elsewhere. You could throw out a quick and dirty fix every day of the week to sate the users. The users would then come back and slit your eyeballs when the entire thing went up in smoke the following day.

If you hadn't noticed they have provided something that'll enhance usability so write to your local miner if you'd like to try it.
