GASP! Satoshi has returned!

While I don't disagree with your points, is it not acceptable for the creators to make money for their work? Satoshi's wallets hold a million Bitcoins.

This is a skewed way of looking at it. If you remove the 1650+ coins that obviously trash, as well as the trash coins that somehow made their way in to the top 20 (BCH, TRX, XVG, EOS), things are much more even. It's not fair to combine ETHs share of 20% with a bunch of scam coins.

Sorry guys - it's all my fault.

I tried and failed to cure his acute newt affliction. Until such a time that I can develop a more potent treatment, I'm keeping him safe as a pet in my lab.

It would have to be Nano, if the vendor accepts it. Transactions are free and take less than 1 second.

You are right that the vast majority of altcoins are worthless, but not all. There are a small handful of altcoins out there that also have real world usage and that are achieving things that Bitcoin isn't.

As long as you can only buy altcoins with Bitcoin, the prices will track each other. As more exchanges introduce fiat/altcoin pairings, the market should decouple from Bitcoin's price.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) is the universal authority for psychiatric diagnoses. The criteria for a "Gambling Disorder" can be viewed here.

Simply replace the word "gamble" with "buy/trade/track cryptocurrency", and you have yourself a pretty accurate set of criteria to judge a crypto addict.

I don't know what the truth is here, but it's safe to say this kind of behaviour really isn't going to help your case.

I've just spent 5 minutes looking in to this a bit more, and it gets even worse:


For anyone not familiar with the Diceware method, it is simply a method of generating a list of random words. They recommend at least 6, but probably 7 words, to ensure your phrase is "unhackable". So basically you are trading a 24-word seed phrase for a 6-word brain wallet. This is honestly one of the worst ways you could possibly secure your coins.

Not just a head injury. There are hundreds of physical and mental illnesses out there that can cause memory loss. Brain wallets are for the brainless.

The leading cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical bills. The US has a barbaric healthcare system that penalises someone for having the audacity to develop cancer or be involved in a serious accident.

Going bankrupt from something that is completely outwith your control is a pretty good excuse, I would say.

So you read the bit under his name to know he was a "Lamborghini Member", but somehow missed the bit that says "Global Moderator"?

Regardless of who owns these accounts, I would not choose to trust someone who just blindly insults everyone who disagrees with him.

This is not new. Bitcoin.com has been shilling Bitcoin Trash since day one. They know they can't get people to invest based on the coin itself, so they have to trick newbies in to buying it thinking they are buying Bitcoin.

It's a low and shady tactic, but it's what has come to be expected of Bitcoin Trash.

Are there any legitimate reasons for needing to use monographs in a forum post? I can think of none. Can anyone correct me?

If there are none, then the only reason to use them is to hide plagiarism, in which case they should be banned.

If you look at the parternships VeChain has secured, and then compare its marketcap to the marketcap of scam coins like BCH, TRX and EOS, which all have higher caps, you can see that VeChain is very undervalued.

It's not a problem that your account can be frozen, your transactions reversed and your funds taken, all without your permission or any regulatory oversight? Honestly, EOS is worse than a fiat bank.

The reason Coinbase chose ETC was for the exact same reasons they chose BCH - as they are forks of already supported coins, it took the bare minimum amount of work to list them. It has nothing to do with the coin itself.

Also, given how shady the launch of BCH on Coinbase was, with prize freezes and insider trading, I'd be very of using Coinbase for anything ever again.

It's actually going to be mid-July according to this tweet from the VeChain Foundation: https://twitter.com/vechainofficial/status/1009799751791886336

And then shortly after they will be releasing Ledger integration!

You should be able to trade or hold crypto without emotion - if you are scared it means you have invested too much. I would suggest re-evaluating your positions and decreasing your holdings to level that you can afford.

Because they are lying. They have the power to freeze accounts, reverse transactions and confiscate your funds. It isn't decentralized in the slightest.

Not only that, but buying based on coin price and not on market cap is a newbie's mistake. I would suggest you spend some time learning about crypto before investing rather than trying to chase some "quick gains" and inevitably losing your money.

I would also highlight that EOS is a centralized shitcoin, and you would do well to stay well away.
