Yeah, I get the impression that at no point was any bitcoin actually involved.

I guess a free soap opera is the one upside.
The most bizarre thing is that what was once thought of as shit social housing is actually vastly more liveable than what's billed as an exciting modern executive luxury new build development.
A 1930s council house is rock solid and bursting with space and storage.
I used to live in a 19th century Glasgow tenement which was a flat out slum when built. Now the space is beyond the height of luxury.
I want to upgrade at some point to house from my tiny flat. But all 'houses' that are available are the ones in the plethora of out of town estates. It makes be want to vomit to event drive on to one, let alone buy one. Prospects are not good. |

I thought this had been settled years ago. It's Jaywick of course. Sun, sea, affordable property, 'community spirit' which is important as you get older and all a short hop from London.  The ocean is just over the concrete wall at the end. I just adore the rustic prefab aesthetic. |

LOL, how is this guy still getting press? ... https://cointelegraph.com/news/interview-craig-wright-still-999999-sure-that-hell-get-btc-fortuneWright said that he formed the trust “back when Bitcoin was not worth anything at all” as a prescient move to secure his prospective assets. When asked why he himself is not one of the trustees, he said:
“Because I’m smart enough not to be. Because then people could force me to actually move coins. You can take things from trustees. If it was mine, people could have seized assets from me.”
An one might ask... "Pray tell, who and why would anyone seize assets from you? Hmmm?" |

Bitcoin Price Matches Stock-to-Flow Forecast as $100K Halving NearsBitcoin (BTC) now almost perfectly aligns with the historically accurate price chart, which has charted its growth from pennies to digital gold.
According to data from Digitalik, a resource that monitors Bitcoin's position relative to the Stock-to-Flow model, as of Jan. 20, BTC/USD is exactly where it should be.
$8.6K Bitcoin sticks rigidly to forecasts https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-matches-stock-to-flow-forecast-as-100k-halving-nears I wonder what would happen if, instead of halving every 4 years, the reward incrementally dropped every block so you didn't get these abrupt changes. |

Man. I waited nearly 7 months to get my BFL miners. When I did, the taxes my government charged were more than the value of the Bitcoin I could mine with them even if I didn't include the cost of electricity. To add insult to injury, my wife called me at work the first night I was running them to tell me of a strange smell coming from the room. I told her to unplug them and in the morning when I got home, I saw that one of the power supplies had melted - those were SHIT (the power supplies)! I connected some better PSUs and ran them for a while to heat my feet under my computer desk. I've always wished I had simply spent that money on coins rather than miners - it would have bought ~ 30 Bitcoins.  Yeah, one or two of the supplied PSU's blew up on me on the short time I used them, but I always planned on wiring up a high efficiency PC PSU. Think I sold them on ebay! The FPGA ones (first set) were a bit late. The ASIC ones were VERY late, but still made good profit on them. |

That was like 8 months before I started. On Oct 18th, 2013..sometime during the day, BTC was $150 when I looked.  I miss my Newbie BTC Youth! The thrill of being absolutely 'clueless' on wtf you were doing and still making out like a bandit! KNC Jupiter Miner arrived 0ct 18th, 2013. I got it sopping wet full of water and parts floating inside. Dried it out. It was $5,131.80 USD. Tried to turn it on, IT CAME WITH NO FRIGGING SWITCH, I was utterly befuddled. Emailed them got a prompt reply to use a 'paper clip' and short out the PSU leads to the computer cable for power to a computer motherboard. Sat there 'stunned!' I mean really, I paid the amount above for this beastie and it does not even have a 'frigging' switch! Closed my eyes, turned my head away for expected flash/explosion and of the certain 'bricking' of the device. Worked fine, Ran like a top for a couple of years, till difficulty got to high on BTC vs electric. (considering BTC price now should have run it another 1/2 year!) Best Miner I ever had par none for output and stability. Sometime during that day, I looked up the price of BTC it was $150 USD per BTC! I think I made 1 BTC a day. I 'long' for a return to those glory 'newbie' home mining days, but alas,they are gone forever. Those were the days. I had a pretty tidy return from this:  I bought 6 in all. And then this:  |

LOL "When our team discussed how to tackle these issues in the US, it seemed clear that Mt Gox had by far the best security record in the Bitcoin exchange landscape." |

Yeah, they stopped doing that after continually breaking the ATH for months |

you have no fear that CSWs insane mind will finish its decent into lunacy and utterly destroying whatever you think bsv is?
No. Users are not forced to accept new versions of SW. Anyone is free to continue using the previously existing version. This nullifies any threat. Of course, it is likely that nChain is a significant miner, which does lead to some exposure in this regard. But Craig does not hold exclusive chains of power in that organization, and others there are not suicidal. So, somewhat mitigated. So you're banking on BSV users making good decisions? Hmm. |

Urgh. Tired of all this $9K. When 10K? Now look what you did. Aww, shit. My bad. |

Received & confirmed with thanks! Message to r0ach: LFC_Bitcoin just sent me 0.00587140 BTC (the equivalent of around $50). He doesn't know who I am. I don't know who he is. We did not have to register to any site or server. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, could stop this transaction from happening. Even if one miner refused to confirm it for some reason, there are thousands more who would. There were no intermediaries. No company or bank to allow or deny it. He cannot take it back. No one can. He was the sole owner of that amount. He transferred ownership to me. Now I am the sole owner of that amount. He did this from (probably) thousands of miles away from me. He did not have to send anything by mail. It happened over the air. Electronically. It took less than half an hour. It cost less than $0.40. It will stay in the Blockchain forever. That's Bitcoin. I wish I had some merit for this post. One of the best I have read and If you don't mind I'd like to pass it on to some people? Merited on your behalf. |

Well, objectively, the price of both BCH and BSV are higher than BTC's was, just about 5 years ago, or around 2013-ish ... The problem is they might stick around at least another 5 years just because ... reasons.
Presumably when CW fails to sign a message from any address holding large amounts of corn ahead of this final court date on Feb 3rd then BSV, at least, will suffer a massive dump. It’s his final opportunity to show he’s (lol) Satoshi. You’d think any of his dumb sheep who buy & believe in BSV will start to sell as it plummets. BSV @ $50 incoming! Can't wait until someone moves the contents of one of those 16404 addresses. Or signs a message against one |

I wonder if any the the addresses in the list are anyone's here... or mine even!

The Bitcoin SV pump is based on CSW's saying that the bonded courier actually showed up with the tulip trust keys. In other words, he says he's now in possession of 1 million or so BTC (half of which is supposed to go to the Kleimans). https://beincrypto.com/bitcoin-craig-wrights-courier/
If only...You mean prove, cryptographically that he is Satoshi Nakamoto by signing a message? That’s asking for too much  To be fair...he may not know how to do that. Can someone explain that to him so he can prove he's Satoshi? So when he subsequently fails to move any coins or sign any messages, how are the (what are we calling SV believers these days? Morons? Is it morons?) morons going to explain it? |

Well that was fun whilst it lasted  Yeah, maybe we dip down to $82XX, but it still looks like tomorrow you'll have to pay the lucky winner. $9000 = $50 ———> Vegeta Winner $9000 = $xxx,xxx unrealised HODL stash gains ——-> Me I’m happy with this I thought you lost all your coins in a tragic kebab accident? |
