The only thing worse than an Elliott wave spammer is an Ichimoku cloud spammer, and Toxic2040 insists on spamming four of them at the same time with the most convoluted, useless charts ever seen in the history of trading.

Nice, ethereums pumping hard to.

Who, here, besides you, and a few troll/shills gives any shits about that crap?

It's Goldman Sachs Jew shills.  Tons of these banker douchebags are bagholding Ethereum.  They better watch out, JayJuanGee's own mama says he's a dangerous thug.

But honestly, this lightning shit isn’t working out as planned, the number of active channels on the lightning network is actually falling believe it or not,

I can believe it.  The concept of 'funding channels' is nothing but a vendor lock-in facilitator that's not conducive to how people want to handle their monetary affairs at a retail level.  It's something that only really belongs on the BACKEND of two exchanges doing some kind of arb.  Then the only network topology that can form in the real world is you opening a channel to a bank and having them route all your transactions from there since they will be far more connected than you are with more liquidity to each party.

Not true. We only need some big merchants (like amazon) to connect for the LN to be useful for every retail client. Like now, there are too little sites who use LN, and they are at most experimental....so right, there are no many reasons to lock your coins as now, but that' only because the immaturity of the system.

What in the fuck is your malfunction, son?  Amazon is a MONOPOLY that needs to be broken up, NOT becoming an EVEN BIGGER monopoly where you just open a single Lightning Network channel to them and it's the ONLY STORE YOU EVER SHOP AT for the rest of your life (your scenario where Lightning Network is actually useful).  Like I said, the whole channels bullshit is nothing but a vendor lock-in mechanism that would further the cause of corporate & banking monopolies.

Man, LED light bulbs really suck.  Bought both Phillips and GE Reveal (2700k + 2850k).  I think even CFLs might look better.  The LEDs cause all colors in the room to have this dull, gray look where colors, especially things like orange and red don't pop out at all.  Every color in the room feels like it's adjusted -20-30% saturation, then add some gray to it.  The GE reveal is supposed to be a 90 CRI (Color Rendering Index) to prevent this, but it's little improvement over the Phillips.  They also seem to have some disorentation/dizziness effect that you might find in some of the worst CFL bulbs.

There's a brand called SORAA that's supposed to be better than both, but I doubt it comes anywhere near an incandescent in terms of lighting qualify.  If you get a 800 Lumens LED bulb, it feels as uncomfortable as being next to a 1200 lumens incandescent while using the computer.  The GE Reveal is ONLY 650 Lumens and still feels uncomfortably harsh and as irritating as sitting next to a 1000 lumens incandescent while reading or whatever.  I'm guessing the only one that would be remotely bearable are the 550 Lumens SORA ones, but like I said, still probably suck compared to incandescent.

Yeah, US audiences are bored by poor people sending free remittances home, after it used to cost a bundle....
No one cares about all the bitcoin & crypto charities and non-profit orgs. that make the world a better place.
Not interesting that millions of unbankable women can have saving and spending power now

Who are you supposed to be, George Soros?  The only thing NGOs do is flood white countries with endless waves of noggers to try and destroy them (the Hooton & Kalergi Plan).  As for "unbankable women", how the hell is bitcoin useful for any of these 3rd worlders when transaction fees were like $50 each during the last pump and dump?  And NO, Lightning does JACK SHIT to solve that.

Bitcoin is not a permissioned ledger.
the simple fact that all of them CAN blacklist you at any moment is what determines it's classification.  
No, they can not.

What planet are you living on?  Transaction validators can blacklist whoever they want.  Even digital shitcoin shills like Adam Back & Gmaxwell know non-fungible tokens are complete garbage.  The only way to make it so bitcoin is not guaranteed to be a complete dystopia is either make all tokens fungible so transaction validators can either block all or none without being selective as to who to target or politically persecute, or to raise the number of transaction validators so high that it's not possible for them to collude or for blacklists to have any effect.  Imagine trying to spend bitcoins as Julian Assange once your wallets are tagged.  It's a complete joke of a system.

To increase transaction validators to an acceptable level, you would need to use something like unprofitable PoW where everyone processes their own transactions, but unprofitable PoW is an unworkable system that requires artificial convergence, so it's really not possible to create a decentralized digital currency at all.  Your second best option is to simply make all transactions blinded (fungible tokens), that way when transaction validators centralize, there's at least some limit on the power they can abuse.  But creating real fungible tokens is probably also not possible without introducing even more showstoppers.  Neither Zcash or Monero do it very well since Monero is just light plausible deniability and Zcash has far too many drawbacks.

Bitcoin is not a permissioned ledger.

Of course it is.  Any non-fungible token where transactions aren't blinded and transaction validators are allowed to arbitrarly tamper with transactions is.  It doesn't matter if there's a thousand transaction validators and only one of them blacklists you, the simple fact that all of them CAN blacklist you at any moment is what determines it's classification.  

But in the case of bitcoin, the number of transaction validators is designed to centralize so much there will likely only ever be between 1 to 10 or so that actually matter at any given time.  That extreme centralization characteristic allows RETARDEDLY EASY full spectrum control of it by governments and other (((cartels))) to use it as the ultimate dystopian cashless society slavery system such as Aaron Russo warned about.

Another day of scammers creating bogus pictures full of lies.  NONE of that bullshit in your picture is actually a store of value besides gold.  To be a "store of value" something has to be a non-perishable commodity.  Stocks are not stores of value; they're not commodities; they're a business that can implode to zero at any second.  Houses are not stores of value - you could classify them as a commodity, but the physical structure deteriorates and requires enormous amounts of money in maintenance & property tax.  Just because they can be flipped occasionally for profit in inflationary bubbles doesn't mean they're actually stores of value.  A real store of value doesn't blow up just because you stop shoveling money at it.

Bitcoin is NOT a store of value because it's not a real commodity either (among the other problems like having zero fundamentals since it's designed to centralize).  The idea that something could be a store of value that doesn't even exist in the physical world is just buttfucking hilarious.  As I've explained before, you can hoard all 21 million bitcoins in the world if you want to but it grants you ZERO power over anyone.  People can just ignore you and create their own craptocurrency.  This is called lack of Schelling point.  A real commodity cannot be bypassed in this manner. Hoarding a real commodity actually does grant you power.

And I'm certainly nowhere near capable enough to think up Bitcoin.

It's a Rube Goldberg machine that attempts to mimic gold and silver and does it in a million times more unnecessarily complicated manner.  Even after all that unnecessary overcomplication, it fails miserably in all comparative aspects such as decentralization, fungibility, removal of counterparty risk, removal of middlemen (bitcoin has built-in middlemen), store of value, etc.  When you crank complexity to the moon for no reason in a completely inelegant manner and your payoff for doing so is being worse off than what you were attempting to artificially mimic (metals), all you have is the epitome of Rube Goldbergs that has ever existed.

Trollgoossens,
In 2017 the founder of Morgan Creek Capital Investment nailed it: "Only gamble was whether #Bitcoin would make if from $0 to $100, that was the real miracle. Going from $4,000 to $40,000 or $400,000 is easy".

https://twitter.com/RedditBTC/status/1125026735727226881

That's completely wrong and par for the course of the bullshit you link to try and scam people every day.  Complete scams with zero fundamentals go from $0 to $100 ALL THE TIME.  What the hell do you think Bitconnect is? Fundamentals are NOT required for that to happen, only for it to not implode and go to zero once the greater fools dry up.  Bitcoin is a longer running scam simply because it takes a high amount of intelligence to do proper due dilligence on it and figure out transaction validators are designed to centralize so it has no reason to exist.  

Bitcoin has built-in rent seeking middlemen and doesn't remove counterparty risk, and doesn't even have the required traits to qualify as money or a commodity in the first place like fungibility.  It has no reason to exist compared to physical metals.  It's a permissioned ledger.  The only question is how long can the pump and dump go on zero fundamentals before there's a rush for the exits back to metals again. The crux of the situation is that the Jew bankers are trying to rig metals to prevent them from going up while trying to rig digital shitcoins up instead in order to try and lure people into a cashless society slavery system.

This why Ver needs to goto jail, misdirecting the masses to his shitcoin is damaging the infrastructure being built.

Go to jail for what?  Shilling for a different digital shitcoin than you are?  Should Dogecoin and Monero'ers go to jail too?   What the fuck?  If we're sending every alt-shitcoiner to jail, bitcoin is nothing more than an altcoin of physical metals, so you get to be locked up too.  If that's the plan you're backing, I fully support sending all altcoin scammers to jail.

Trollgoossens, most of these idiotic bitcoin spammer Twitter accounts are probably fake.  I see a metric ton of these things and they'll have posts every day for several years with no talk of anything except trying to trick people into buying imaginary shitcoins and ZERO other interests or posts.  Not even a single "I love or hate Trump" post.  Nothing but "BUY IMAGINARY, VALUELESS SHITCOINS NOW!!!!1" over and over.  And all of their Twitter descriptions are the same mindless shit like this too:



I'm hesitant to believe that's an actual person.  They use fake pictures of bimbos in hopes dumb white knights will retweet their posts and will post the same tweet or a variation of it with numerous different accounts.  Do it with enough accounts and a white knight loser will eventually cause a chain reaction of other white knight losers to retweet the mindless tweet and get it lots of exposure.

I click the link and...it's a god damn 16 year old girl.  Is this how desperate you are to try and find greater fools to buy your shitcoins that you're linking 16 year old girls now?  She was too dumb/lazy to figure out what a troy ounce is so she bought imaginary, designed to centralize, digital shitcoins instead of gold or silver and now you're quoting her.  If bimbos like this are talking about shitcoins and already all-in, that's really NOT a good sign lol.

I'm always amazed to see how nice and clean a country with no brown people is.

Yeah, China also so clean and nice. Good thing they have no brown people there. Who knows what kind of cesspool of inhumanity, pollution and overpopulation it would turn into...

There are some extraneous circumstances there:

1)  Overpopulation tends to force humans to see each other as the enemy in a zero sum game.  There's really zero incentive at play to worry about things like 'tragedy of the commons'.

2)  Chinese are the sick man of Asia - culturally destroyed by communism and doomed to have a dysfunctional civilization until it's after effects are gone (who the hell knows how long that will be).

3)  Lopsided male to female population distribution.  With females being mostly predatory parasites seeking resources, one of their few coherent, shared cultural ideals revolves around the worship of money, otherwise you will have nothing to attract the female with.  The worship of money as an end instead of a means to an end is never going to create anything good.

I always wondered if you are a bot or computer program or a real person.

I serve at the pleasure of the president of the free world - Vladimir Putin.

That was back in the era when In-Q-Tel crashed the market on purpose and bought up all the coins for cheap.  Might be a govt wallet.  Who the fuck else neither diversifies or spends a cent after getting a windfall profit?
