... I'd be wary of an attempt at a bull tarp by the futures guys testing their new toys on this lift-off during boost phase.

Failing that and shorts getting #r3kt as per business as usual then $28-30k is my new working upside target ... at which point a who-the-fuck-cares? what happens next reassessment takes place.

.... oh god, can;t we make this thread safe from rizun and roger somehow?!

ffs, only time I come on here to check in the price is pumping and rizun is pumping roger, it's like someone has been sick in my pudding.

2nd shitcoin blow-off in under 12 months, simply nutz.

working on the simple math from last time after the shitcoin bust ... total crypto marketcap ~$750 bill, BTC 66% share == 28-30k u$d/btc.

sideways ... coming to a theater near you

bankster coinz Ether, Ripple and Btrash are being gang-pumped to stupid heights totally disconnected from any real world usage ... and now they have cash-settled bitcoin futures for some fiat-trash shorting leverage they are trying to keep bitcoin down ... and the usual trolls and shills have shown up right on cue like clockwork.

Good buying opportunities while we go sideways, I don't see any signs of panic-dumping, the top never really blew off, so sideways to down before the final mega-wave before coming to rest at the new plateau ... wherever that is, noone really knows, except maybe masterluc.

let me guess, it's friday night end of week before christmas hols and you hit the bottle early ... dropped some pills and bubble the bong, your missus has hit the hay without you and your holed up in the man-cave nursing a serious buzz on your own and it's getting late for your age ... so you hop on-line and look around for cats to kick to let off some steam??

That herniated thing must really be playing havoc in the Russian winter ...

Jihan Wu and the malicious miner cartel have you over a barrel and are giving it hard to the merchants ... you guys gotta wise up and realise which enemies you let into your tent. The miners are NOT the merchant's friends in this game you dolts. They are withholding blocks, selectively spamming to the timing of blocks and transaction rates, switching hashpower to their pet speculative coin, all games are afoot now in the name of the mighty profit.

Jihan Wu is gonna gouge as much blood outta this fucker as he can before he disappears and he doesn't give a shit who or what gets burned along the way ... "You want fuck?, fuck your mother!".

If you are pissing and moaning about fees now, what's your business strategy for when the rewards run out and the entire security model of bitcoin is based on fees? ... oh, right, you don't got one cause you'll be long gone and you don't really give a shit about bitcoin in the end either.

Thanks, useful. The "Rebroadcast TX" and other options there might be useful also.

I think it may be time for some retaliation attacks against Wu and Antpool who have demonstrably become malicious miners, attacking the bitcoin network.

They are withholding blocks, spamming the network to drive up fees and being a general nuisance to the point that if they were excluded from the mining network it would do more good than harm to bitcoin. They are doing everything in their power to subvert the network, without performing the 51% attack which they may actually be capable of.

In short, someone needs to fuck these guys over seriously. It's well past time.

Tera's salty tears of 'winning boredom' mixed with sour grapes of the typical sold out bull are making for a heady brew. Even the most jaded of bulltrolls cant resist a nibble on that deliciously ironic debacle.

Jbrerher is so dumb (or wantonly ignorant?) that he was given the most perfectly succinct description of the difference between linear scaling and non-linear scaling, conceded it was non-linear .... and then sighed, as if to say linear is so obviously better that he has no time to explain that wisdom to us.

Uh-huh and.... maybe rich idiots abound.

Actually the largest part of the tulip-mania was mostly in tulip futures markets.

Derivatives were a new financial 'innovation' then and the ability for tulip farmers to hedge their purchases of bulbs at planting time, in order to produce the rarest, most precious varieties, out into the harvest season was considered a huge boon for them. Of course, some greedy financial speculators got involved and the mania spiralled quickly out of control. At it's height, tulip investing clubs were being formed because it was too expensive for even one wealthy individual to own one tulip future individually, they packaged the futures into bundles and sliced and diced them up so you could invest in a diversity of tulip varieties and colours. At one point, it was said people were selling their modern townhouses in the heart of Amsterdam in order to buy only a share in a tulip future investment club.

The crash was so swift that the rarest and quirkiest tulips that had been heavily over-invested in were in abundance at their time of harvest, but anyone that owned them by now was probably already ruined by the crash in the futures market not long after the planting season.

You know it sounds exactly like the housing market mortgage debt investment bubble after the banks got involved .... hmmm.

Hahaha, this is classic ... Wall St. comes to bitcoin and gets limit-up #r3kt on the first day, it's like these guys are an amateur hour shitshow!

... this is now the bash TERA2 thread, the world's all ganged up against you man. Bears just need to know when to fuck off and die, your time will come again.
