ETH has another hardfork scheduled in the coming days?

Does anyone have a link to the actual tweet?  I could not find it on Vitalik's stream of tweets.   I saw it in other locations as a picture, so it could b a fake, right?  or Deleted? Or just me?

Oh my!!!!!!!

You trying to NOT win WO thread friends, angel55?  Except maybe jbreher, and some shill/trolls.

 

Hahahahahaha

It appears that we agree regarding the luckiness aspect, 600watt (aka .6kw as attributable to d_eddie), good ole buddy.

Therefore, I am not going to look research further into the "abundance" (or non-abundance) of correct predictions matter.        

Even if you don't like the guy, you might not want to get that intimate with his smirking image.   

Settle down Pamoldar.

Clips like these are just within the normal mainstream types of ambiguous bitcoin commentary, including sometimes questionable attempts at causal connections (if we are considering the mention of the JPMorgan coin). 

I have only had three avatars to date, so not very likely that I would change my avatar outside of very compelling circumstances, and what you have presented is far from compelling.

1) dancer avatar
2) dancer avatar on a hat
3) dancer avatar on a hat with transparent background

The avatar you presented, actually, looks like it could be considered as a bitcoinPsycho avatar, perhaps if you could fit such avatar variation on a hat?  I would not try to take such avatar from you.  

In other words, POS and ethereum is/are a ponzi scheme...

Can make a lot of money, as long as you are in early... 

Personally, I am not interested in playing such a game, but there is about 99% of the world's population that has not yet been tapped, and plenty of them would like to attempt to get rich quick and don't mind gambling to attempt such richness, especially if they don't know what they do not know.

Yeah right... believe it when we see it.  Those buying into an actual POW to POS seeming ponzi scheme transition are dumb-ass-fucks to actually conjecture that POW to POS will actually: 1) take place and 2) if it does take place without some major additional scam (smoke and mirrors) hiccup(s).

They buy it so that they can pump shitcoins and scams, which is a use case in and of itself that causes speculation regarding how many and how much shit can be built on top of other shit, which causes various network effects.  In the long (perhaps 50 years) or medium (perhaps 5-10 years), the market is going to realize how shitty the whole ETH foundation is (including the fact that it is insecure of both centralization and also in terms of the shenanigans that are built on such centralization - which includes a fiat kind of set of monetary policies that they don't openly admit).  

I remain somewhat surprised regarding the actual fact that some more serious projects are actually building on ETH - which is going to cause the scam to continue for a decently long time - absent some real major issue that cannot be short-to-medium term covered up.

In other words, it seems pie in the sky to be wishing on the short term demise of ETH, even though I am in the same camp in which I am not going to put much if any of my actual value into such shescamicans.

How long are you planning (expecting) to live?

I hate to attempt to speak for majormax (but I have no morals.. hahahahahaha).... Anyhow, I would expect that majormax is going to need BTC prices to go above $5k for a while and perhaps even $6k before he is going to be willing to call the bear market as "over"...  Another scenario that might allow for calling the end to the bear market would be relatively flat BTC prices for about a year.. without any new bottom below $3,122.. then maybe that could be enough.. but then we have nearly 9 more months for that kind of alternative scenario to play out... Would be nice to get a majormax update, but I suspect it is WAAAAY too soon to be asserting end of the bear market from his perspective.

@Arriemoller  Are you taking the bet with Hairy? or with kurious or both?

What is this supposed to mean?

Isn't it the stop clock is correct twice a day phenomenon?  If you look at any BTC price prediction thread, you are going to find price predictions all over the map, and of course, there are going to be a few that are really close to what actually ends up happening.. but I doubt the fact that the close to correct predictions getting their predictions correct reasonably infers that the person(s) predicting knew anything concrete about the BTC price future at that particular time.

Great!!!  Love to see a nice friendly bet, and perhaps even nicer to be betting 1 LTC...

Who gives a shit about LTC whether you win one or you lose one... so no BIG deal, either way, but enough of a stake in the bet to keep interest to see what comes first.  December 31, 2019, below $3,122 or above $7,500.  Three possible events to resolve who will be the winner. 

I will say that I had a bit of a spike in number of people contacting me from localbitcoins in the past few days.. but who knows?  Too short of a period and could be anecdotal aberrations, especially since I am in southern california.  

Yesterday, I did a transaction in the $500 to $1k range, and the guy attempted to slip me a phony $100.  We were in a public place, and I think that he was relying on the fact that sometimes it can be difficult (or uncomfortable) to attempt to examine the bills very closely in public places.  I do examine the old $100s (and the $50s), and in that case, I saw that the embedded small line of vertical numbers on one of his $100s were not there.  Kind of like a blur on the bill.  

I told him that "I cannot accept this one", and initially, he just said o.k. no problem, no problem.. as if he already expected such.  Then as he was exchanging the bad $100 out for a newer printed bill, he asked me what was wrong with the bill.  I told him that the number on the side was not there.  He attempted to proclaim that the bill was good and the number was merely blurred.  I told him that "it does not work like that," and he looked at the bill one more time by holding it up and just put the bill away without saying anything further to attempt to defend that bad bill.

I think that he was a bit embarrassed (probably by getting caught rather than by attempting to pass a bad $100 to me).. and usually buyers will linger around a bit after the transaction has been sent, but he quickly left the scene within seconds of my hitting "send" and seeing a "pending" was showing on my end.  

I am currently thinking that this particular price spike could get into the close to $5k arena, and still NOT be out of the range of threatening new bottoms.  Of course, the longer that BTC prices stay above $3,500, the more difficult it is going to become to make a lower low.  Would not be unreasonable to take a month or two before seeing a spike in one direction or another.. even if we might end up getting some ongoing gradual movement up to $5k-ish in the shorter term.

And, yes some of the attempt at analysis from that chart shows that various alt coins pursuers have not been demoralized.  I remain unsure about whether a demoralization needs to be a condition precedent before BTC prices could move up, but I do understand that certain signs that demoralization seems insufficient in various shitty (little to no value) alt projects is going to continue to create a decent amount of incentive for bearwhales to attempt to wring out a bit more of that value.. whether such bearwhales will be successful or not at wringing out shit value still remains to be seen in the coming months - and perhaps longer.

. .exactly attractive, and you cannot see the bags under his eyes, too.  hahahahaha.  Therefore, looks tougher.

Largely, Bitstamp has been the industry Bitcoin price barometer since about 2013 - and likely it was GOX before that (even though GOX had shenanigans going on during that time frame that became more apparent in early 2014).  Of course, over the years, there has been some efforts to use other exchanges as BTC price barometers, such as chinese exchanges and specifically bitfinex and some indexes, but bitstamp has remained dominant in its bitcoin price barometerability.

At some point, this could change, and surely having an index of exchanges could be a better reflection or bitstamp could fall from its grace due to changes that sometimes could occur as a result of changes in ownership.. and so far, I don't see any reason to dethrone bitstamp from its btc price barometer status.

Yes, prices are real on various other exchanges in the sense that you can exchange at those deviant from bitstamp rates and sometimes you might be able to foresee some short term BTC price movement from other exchanges and also comparing their prices to bitstamp including extent to which they are deviating... yet none of the attempts to engage in cave allegory practices takes away from seeming bitstamp's ongoing ability to serve as a more reliable and reality based BTC price and price direction indicator.
