Woke up to news of a military coup underway in Zimbabwe.

Crazy times we live in. But it's overdue, those poor people have suffered enough..

Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon.
It would be good for the citizens if trade links with Britain and direct flights to Harare would be reestablished. Many Zims over here in the UK.

Agreed, I know a few Zims here too.  The only thing is, regime changes in Africa aren't always positive, sometimes it's just a new 'Big Man' getting his snout into the trough.   That said, Zimbabwe can hardly get much worse.  Fingers crossed.

BCH would have been better if it forked with it's own address format, it's own PoW, ... but no, they didn't.

Reason is simple. The purpose of the fork is not to make a better bitcoin. The purpose is to cripple bitcoin.


Why would we want to cripple the thing that made us serious coin?

Back when I first wired funds to mtgox it took days... And a 35$ wire transfer fee !

That's what Bitcoin has become... Bitcoin is NOT what it was...The truth is Bitcoin can't handle the volume of mass adoption and other alt coins have filled the gap! Truth hurts! Fast transactions with low fees is what ppl want. It's not personal it's just business  Cool

Not all is mathematics... It's the economy, stupid!
People want free money as well.But once free what you use as money won't be money anymore.
Anyway, you have your altcash shitcoin to play with and learn economics from your own mistakes. Good luck with the free money!



It's not about free money ! Wake up man! Name call all you want it's the truth
Some serious changes are in order for Bitcoin or else... Wake up

I have no agenda and I'm not a shill and could care less what you rookies think  Smiley

I think you mean 'could NOT care less' but no matter - if you don't care and have no agenda - why are you posting here, do tell?

Because I have been here for years

And of course I could care less what ppl think  Grin

So have i, in fact a bit longer than you.  BCH has shot its bolt and is not a serious threat to BTC, Bitcoin will not die and is in rude health in spite of all the attacks and this attempted coup.

Do you really think miners and users will migrate en masse to support an alt that is just a centralised power grab and desert BTC?

Because if you do - you are, in my humble opinion, seriously misguided.

I didn't even bring up BCH...

Bch has it issues as well... Maybe even dip below 500$ but what do I know

Misguided? Don't think so



OK. What is this 'competition' then?

Do you guys see BCH a treat for BTC? BCH is now $1200+, BTC took years to reach that kind of level

Ahem..  Just sayin' - but BTC was less than that a year ago.  Don't get me wrong, I am BTC through and through, but....

Damn you, Monero - Bitcoin goes up and you slide down as a rule.

Now it's going down and you too?   We need to talk.
1369  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 10, 2017, 01:44:05 PM
Somehow the fear isn't quite the same when the price falls from $7200 to $6700 as when it fell from $2000 to $1500 or so.
It'll probably swing back to $7000+ in the next hour or so. I don't buy at these kind of prices, but I don't think this is the beginning of the end either!

Bitcoin Cash has had a big day though, I guess that was to be expected after 2x was cancelled, strange that it took so long though.

Maybe that is to do with 2000 to 1500 is a 25% drop?   The same drop from 7200 would take us down to 5400....  I know its stating the obvious, but....

Mini EDIT: (2000)

It will be interesting to see how this bch pump ends. Not going to predict that money gets funneled into alts (or the only one more cash than btc cash), so I won't.

I can't see BCH going away, it's now basically the only fork, Jihan is not selling his mined stash in order to prop it up and (to some extent) it is a little bit of 'black swan event' insurance if Segwit / Lightning - or even scaling prove to be an issue down the line.

Core has won, for now - but having a few BCH must look worthwhile to some...

I would be taking advantage of the pump, rather than doubling down on a poor man's digital cash, but that's me.


I agree, and most of what I ever get incoming goes into XMR and BTC which is 90% + of what I hold in crypto.  If it wasn't for the boating accident XMR would be way over 65% of my entire CC holdings (hodlings, even?) by now...
1371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 10, 2017, 12:49:13 PM
Am I going crazy or it says [XMR] Monero Speculation in the Subject line of this topic? What's up with these chinese bitcoin posts?

OK fair enough, but speculation on where the money in the market is going (especially if it isn't XMR) is not totally irrelevant.

To stay OT then: 

We stalled before 0.017, meaning the daily won't be green - why do you think that is?

I’ll be dumping my BTG as soon as I think it’s safe to do so tbh. I don’t see it having any future, useless coin. Just free money, I’ll convert some into bitcoin & spend the rest, probably on a couple of holidays.

Into moving cold storage coins hassle again - is there even a wallet for it?
1374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 10, 2017, 11:32:51 AM
The daily MA crossed yesterday, if today goes green (and it is fighting to do just that now) we are looking good. 

Seems someone is dumping just enough to keep it under. 

It looks like around 017 is the line to cross to confirm bullish trend is cemented in.  But with BTC under 7K, it depends on whether the money goes back to 'buy the dip' or seeks refuge in rising alts...

Never a dull moment, eh.
1375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 10, 2017, 11:21:10 AM
yeah it's been interesting watching the "post-attack" happenings.
I was expecting to shoot back into the low 004 range, but as it turns out we're still on a slight decline.

It's weird how everything has kind of gone silent, anticlimactic if you will...even the trolls seem to have moved on.

I'll be buying more soon to keep the cost average down in case it dips further in any case

Well, wankalone went a little quiet.  But it seems the louder the trolling, the better the bounce with XMR.

So, much as they annoy, it's usually a good sign.

The 'path of least resistance' as one old timer used to say, seems to be up just now, IMHO.  But as always BTC price dominates the show and it's still nervy - maybe waiting to confirm S2X is really dead....
1376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 10, 2017, 11:12:11 AM
On Polo: nearly 2000 XMR wall at 0.0165

I hope it gets eaten, it's being nibbled...

EDIT: Half eaten, then pulled!

(resistance is futile)

Re: Mt Gox

On the bankruptcy creditor forms I filled in, the form asked if I wanted to be paid in JPY or BTC.

I opted for BTC.  I was (stupidly) thinking I would get X% of the BTC I lost (according to the ratio left, in proportion to the loss).  I assumed it might be 20% (ish) in BTC.  Which would have been fine.

But to sell them and be paid based on the cash value at the time?  I had most of my BTC out so it was only about 5 BTC, but I guess it won't be much now relative to the BTC.   I agree with Jojo that he was just a numbskull, but to end up with hundreds of millions....

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter, I guess - but nor does it make a lot of sense.

More worrying is a giant auction to sell the BTC doing further damage to add to the whole Gox collapse in the first place.

I just checked the market. The entire thing is green (minus a few coins) and Monero is up 17% @ 118$.

Yay

Do you think Monero is going to reach 0.03 BTC or 1000 Dollar eventually?

Well, we were over 0.03 less than a couple of months ago, I think over $1000 is not out of the question, we have gone up by orders of magnitude already, Monero does tend to shoot up fast every so often, it's pretty reliable.

Can a coin go up to seven times its previous ATH?  Of course. 
Will Monero eventually reach $1000?  It's likely if the whole market keeps growing and we stay in the top tranche of coins.
Will we stay in the top tranche?  I believe it's not just possible, it's probable.

We do not control the environment, but we are maintaining a position at the forefront of it.
1380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 09, 2017, 07:47:01 PM
What about Monero's integration? Are they partnering with anyone? I think that would give some trust back to the coin and people might get again more interested in investing in.


Anyone is free to use Monero. Or even develop it.    They can even hard fork it, but as long as they keep the fork opensource. Electroneum might have troubles here.    

My opinion is that ZCash as a private company cant compete with Monero culture.

It's like ZCash is to Windows, and Monero to Unix/Linux. Cool

I always like that comparison because the people who get it, get it.

There are 10 people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't. Tongue

I think you mean '10 types' (of people) - it works better that way ;-)
