i think the topic created is trying to meme the bitcoin tx FEE not market price

bitcoin FEE's fortnight ago: 20-38 range
bitcoin FEE's this week: 10-18 range

atleast 6 years ago there was a thing called 'MTGox codes' where people could transfer value between mtgox, btc-e and bitstamp without touching the blockchain as the exchanges were using reserves and a code system they worked on inbetween them selves

the issue with it is people can try brute forcing the redemption codes as it was not a signature or anything s the such. people ended up snooping on people codes redeeming it and leaving the proper recipient with a 'already redeemed' message when they eventually went to try to redeem it

when it comes to redemption codes if i can reed the code on a piece of paper. i can copy it myself and the very second i hand the paper note to someone else. i can redeem the value leaving them pennyless

the only sure way is via private keys that are hidden on the face of the bank note but available by ripping a seal on the paper note.
but even then people can still make fake notes

EG make 300 notes all using the same code

paper wallets are ok for single use transactions hand to hand but not good for circulation ongoing, because the more hands a paper note passes the more chance someone in the middle is about to redeem it before the current holder

last point about the 'easy to write down codes'
if its soo easy. then it makes it soo easy for abuse

in my honest opinion she is just finger pointing and doing viral meme frowny faces.
she is not really packing a punch that actually strikes her opponents

the paris agreement is too flimsy and has too many clauses and appears as if by 2050 all a country has to do is say ''oops sorry'

its like families.

kid says 'i want new clothes and pizza' so the parent goes out to work earns the money, goes to the shop buys it and comes home, and then cooks it and puts it on the table for the kid and neatly lays out clothes in the closet

who is the intelliagent one in above scenario. then in below
person says i want new clothes and pizza' so thir AI robot does all the manual labour to earn the funds, does all the shopping and cooking and puts food infront of the person and puts clothes away in the closet

if you originally thought the parent was the intelliagent an one on power... guess that means robots are the 'alpha male/ man of the house' of a family

merits are not money. they are just a kind of thumbs up signal that someone found your post interesting
so try to make a post informative and thoughtful that actually gets people to learn from or want to know more be more involved in the topic.

with each batch/harvest only lasting a couple weeks/months shelf life, its possible to do it all on blockchain to show where food comes from and moves to. and obviously as each shelf life expiry ate approaches and passes the data can then just be prunned off. meaning no concern for years of data being stored.

because its not like food can just move around forever. (unlike currency)

whats next happy thoughts can make you fly because peter pan told you

happy thoughts does not defend people from health problems
infact people living in solitude get less flu's then sociable people.

also happy people that are blissfull day dreamers are more likely to trip over or walk into something due to their blissful unawareness and not having a care in the world

theres a difference between being happy and caring about one self
its better to suggest people should care about themselves as a way to reduce health risks

what you can gather from the 'bitcoin richlist' is the ratio of value stored in addresses of =>100btc vs adresses of <=100btc

that way you can kind of get an idea of how much is in exchange coldwallets vs individual users

the more in an exchange in a short period=possible sell off impending(over supply=less demand)
the more users hoard in a short period=trading drama over possible rise impending(less supply=more demand from fiat users)

ofcourse this is not science as people can deposit into exchanges and just use them as a bank custodian for month never actually trading. so not able to use as a hour-day predictor.. but is useful in a more broader scope and used along with other indicators can help establish the emotions of broad userbase

your talking about bio diesel effectively

seems you feel de-emasculate and trying to re-affirm your intelligence, as psychologically you feel like you made some stupid trades due to whales making you emotional.

so here goes
you are king of your kingdom
you are smarter then Einstein
you are wiser than a tibetan monk
you are richer than amazon
you are more popular than zuckerburg
you know more words than an encyclopedia
you are the admiral of all grammar nazi's
you invented all inventions

here even have 1 merit due to you being every positive thing you want people to consider you as.

... now what ..
time to get over your experience and move forward

ok tried to be helpful but looks like topic creator just wants to whinge at everyone.

moving on
(yawn)

seems like you are angry at the world. i can understand things get emotional. but remaining angry helps no one and can mess with your health if it goes on too long.
and if you look at my post history you will see i am on these forums and active daily.
i am not an occasional trader i am an active trader. i do not follow the crappy 'trend' analysis stuff of drawing lines on charts based purely on previous lines. i actually study technical considerations such as how much coins are hoarded in exchanges coldwallets(bitcoin richlist) vs how much exits those addresses

i also look at the cost of mining as a base number of costs. and also the UTXO movements of how much moves in certain periods to see if people are actively moving funds around or just hoarding. which helps me to base if a bitcoin price is near value or speculative way to high above value.

when analysing the UTXO over time you can start pairing utxo's to a value of the time the funds move and thus get to know what values different peoples holdings have.
EG i still have coins from when they were $6 in 2012 so i could happily sell all the way down to $7 and call it profit..
knowing peoples minimums (id consider $5 a loss) means you get to see what is the absolute bottom number people will sell for to break even and you can start to form a map of value.. and along with mining costs. you can build up what is known as a 'support level' for bottom line values

but here is a tip for when you withdraw your funds from foreign exchanges and use US exchanges
do not put all your funds into one order.
split it up into 5-10 allotments. do not try to grab 5%-10% movements. just aim for 1%-2% movements. they happen many times a day so you can rinse and repeat often and accumulate more than 5%-10% when combining the efforts than you would if just waiting, hoping and praying for waves of 5%-10% or tsunami's of 15%+

if you put one order in and the price doesnt move up. leave it there and while the price moves down put another order in. that way you have 9 other opportunities to ride a dip or hit the lift
just keep riding the small ripples and dont be waiting all day for the tsunami's

when you start lowering your expectations of large spreads and just nibble at the small movements you become less concerned and less worried about the whale orders. you actually start to use the whale orders to your advantage

the funny thing is in 2013 i experienced the same whale order thing as you (MTGox was great then) when there were whales trading 5000btc at a time. i soon learned how to use it to my advantage and learned to appreciate the walls as it actually made me more productive going with their flow instead of treating them as the enemy..
again i didnt put in my huge hoards, i was happily playing with smaller amounts within the walls

but first before considering any of this. take your funds out of foreign exchanges and use one within your jurisdiction

i have been involved in bitcoin since 2012. so if this is a battle about time length. well my 2012 beats your 2014

i have been trading many years although i am not the whale in question, my hoard far surpasses the '500btc' walls you complain about. infact if i was to put my hoards in at once you would see this as manipulative but i would see it as me just trading my funds like everyone else, just that i happen to have more.

i personally dont put my hoards into an exchange for many reasons but i do put in some play money. but if i was to use my split order strategy with the hoards you would be complaining more and crying that it was some form of orchestrated plan. when in reality is i would be just trading.

as for the jurisdictional stuff
you as a US citizen using a service thats not US based does not suddenly give you special powers to then allow the SEC to overstep their jurisdiction. its like if you travel to china and got in trouble. its the chinese government that would be handling you. yes you can speak to the US consulate all you like. but their powers are limited of what they can actually do. you would be stuck at the wil of the chinese government.

the end result is the service could just be requested nicely to do something to stop allowing US citizens access or simply ask you to stop using the service yourself.

if you have a problem with a chines exchange. take your funds out and use an US exchange. then if the US exchange appears to have the same issues as you are concerned with then that exchange would be within your US jurisdiction.

lastly when looking at the exchange orderbook. the order book is just a BTC amount. it has no names or faces or nationality listed. so although you may presume the large wall orders are from manipulative asian traders or ghost orders of the exchange itself. but you actually do not know.
its the same emotional reaction of a school shooting news report. many americans very first though is 'is it a middle eastern terrorist' and for days they whisper concerns and worries. but later find out it wasnt.

without you knowing the culprit you have no culprit
simply saying that your couple BTC is acceptable but no one should be trading 500btc at a time is the same as someone trading 0.05btc and complaining that 2btc is too much

it is emotionally like a homeless man with $2 complaining at someone taking $500 out of an ATM. blaming the guy at the ATM for having so much money.
its a useless mindset to have. so here is a solution, ill repeat it again

take your funds out a foreign exchange and use an US exchange instead.
then if the US exchange appears to have the same issues as you are concerned with then find out the actual culprit and link it to an actual crime. do not speculate as to who you wish/hope/think it is. actually try finding the culprit
then, with that US exchange being within your jurisdiction the SEC can do something about it. but remember. there has to be a culprit.
you cant simply ask a company to shut down because you dont like the experience you received. they can try to improve their service to make users experience better, but they can also stop serving just the vindictive, abusive customers. so dont simply pretend you have the power to shut down an exchange simply because you had a bad experience.

think of it like a mass protest or a music concert. if someone spills your beer or a taller person stands infront of you. you do not have the authority to ask the whole concert to be shutdown. instead try to identify the tall beer spiller that you have problems with and deal with that individual(the whale order creator).
because trying to stop an exchange from allowing people to trade say 500btc wont happen
trying to get a concert to ban tall people wont happen.
and trying to stop an exchange from allowing users to cancel orders for change of mind/mistake reasons wont happen.
trying to make spilling beer or walking while holding a beer illegal wont happen

people should be free to make orders with their funds freely. but if you can prove a culprit and prove the crime. then deal with it

topic creators first post is about kinetic energy. not perpetual. what you dont see is the kinetic energy runs out(slows down the spinning). the sample videos in the link were only a few seconds long each for obvious reasons

also the topic creators post just above about blowing on a fan to light a LED shows that the blower has to keep blowing to keep it active. the fan does not constantly spin.
the electric created for lighting an LED is not sufficient to power a fan to the same blow effect of the human long that powered the initial surge. thus output is less than input. so putting it into a closed circuit will slowly diminish until it stops.

many man people have thought that if a wind turbine can charge an electric car wheel to spin that replacing the 2 back wheels for 2 fans can then blow enough to blow 2 turbines to double charge.. but reality is the power of the air coming from the wheels wont equal the power initially from the original turbine thus again it diminishes until it cannot power itself any longer

perpetual motion/energy requires the output energy to exceed the input energy to ensure constant and infinite power. and sorry to burst anyones bubble but that just aint possible

people have tried for hundreds of years. and it just has not happened.
but good like trying to find answers on youtube/reddit rather than science

as for the topics title
energy is not free. there is always a cost. even time and exhaustion and requiring extra calories to fuel someones body for the time is a cost

get on a plan and keep travelling in the same direction. you eventually loop around and come back to the point you started at without falling off an edge and without going into the infinite void of space

im starting to think flat earthers have never got out of their basement to even experience the real world and definetly not a plane ride

reading it carefully it could be read that passengers can request not being recorded.
meaning automatic recording but deletion if a reqeust is formally made

this means that data gathered would require a person then asking for it not to be kept.
if regulations become wordd as such i can see this being abused in many ways like making it so annoying to say no to face recog (like how annoying it is to say no to cookie/ad/data tracking on every website) that people end up just pushing accept rather than deselecting 50 tickboxes

a bit like how stupid browsers work that send a 'do not track' request. or them phone call services that suppose to stop business cold calling you...

yet you then find out data is still gathered, info is still passed around and then if found out years later they just say 'oopsie sorry, tell use the cost of the fine and we will pay it.. no harm done'

you know. the whole 'teenager has criminal records sealed and expunged at 18' .. yet years later gets told someone unsealed the records..
or them anonymous adoptions where social services still have the records but just say they cant disclose
hmmm... not quite a removal of record after all if someone was able to find it

only solution
have no cameras at airport check-in desk at all. or if there is a camera make it abundantly clear you dont want records kept, but still expect someone somewhere to still have that data

should we hack/jailbreak tech and allow ourselves to use whatever open source apps we would actually prefer on the device? yep

kind of like should we just resign from bitcoin coz core centralised the decisions.
or should we keep trying to hold them accountable to their actions and try preventing them sliding in changes that take people off the network without consent(consensus)

stay inside your 4 corner box of freeman whitterings.

by you calling it four corner shows your just referencing freeman rhetoric yet again
its called contract law in the real world and its you that needs to research it because then you will see where your failings are..

oh wait i told you many posts ago to research contract law independantly away from the freeman crap
and here you are responding using the freeman buzzwords
seems you resorted to having to research the freemans mis-interpretations yet again

to respond to below
badecker is the one copy and pasting and using the terms and linking the links of freeman cult.. no on else is
everyone else is trying to correct backecker but badecker refuses to realise that he is the one that should do the research beyond the cult
its like telling a scientologist to wake up to the cult and the scientologist accuses the rest of the world of being scientologists

im correcting the legal context. but all you can scrape the bottom of the barrel of responses, is over is my grammar.
my point is made

to respond to below badecker is in such denial about how wrong he is that he has resorted to being a grammar nazi
he has either become ignorant of his failing or realised his mistakes but doesnt want to admit he failed.
kind of petty

but you skipped the book deals and the 5 day paid holidays curtesy of Ted Talks and such
and yes her mother does get income from the books before you even consider denying it. not every penny goes to charity
only the POSSIBLE excess 'profit' after taking their 'costs' (trips around the world and food and accommodation)

in short she is not self funding from savings she/family accumilated prior to 2018. she is funded by book deals and conferences after 2018
and she is not actually striking as sh gets school permission and does stuff on school breaks

yet she wants other kids to strike against schools wishes(facepalm)
