geniuses sell on mondays 

if someone sells 10million dollars worth of bitcoin the market will nose dive very hard, this should give you a clue as to how far off we are of being a Settlement Layer.

baby steps, bitcoin NEEDS to gain a much wider user base before it can even attempt being a Settlement Layer.

poll reset

also, i insist everyone place a vote on this poll too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1393827.0

don't waste your breath

if you insist on schooling them say:

" digital money, wtf did you think was going to happen?? if you think blockchain tech is a joke, JP morgan along with every other bank in the world disagrees with you, get with the program, money is turning digital, crying about it or choosing to remain ignorant won't do you any good."

this would bring up the barrier to entry for mining bitcoin several orders of magnitude.  not good.


With pooled mining, anyone, even someone with very very bad internet connection and low hashrate CAN mine bitcoin. the fact that a handful pools each have a big slice of hashing power is not an issue, pools must behave they way there users want them to behave,  Individual miners choose the pool they mine at, if they are unhappy with the way to pool operates they will leave an another pool.

not only does pool mining greatly lower the barrier to entry, I believe they will be instrumental in scaling bitcoin while keeping it highly decentralized.  

I added a fun little poll, make sure you read the pros and cons before voting.

I will now try to catch up on the discussion and add some pros, cons, and comments to OP.

sure but by then it's too late, you miss the train 

we'll catch you tomorrow.

ETH paying BTC to keep up the blocksize crisis as long as possible?

smart move little ETH dude, smart move...

BTC is now 77% of the market down from 90%

ETH feels so toppy it's not even funny.

1 eth = 1btc

 

thats your call?

i do believe there's a hell of a bubble going on with ETH fueled by the bitcoin scaling crisis. call the TOP

personally i'm thinking 0.06

poeple will short ETH at 0.04 and then 0.06 will happen
