exciting and creepy at the same time...like having a boner you are ashamed of
Going on the average age of posters in this thread, there's no longer such a thing as a boner to be ashamed of any more for most. All of them are a gift. It's weird to think of myself as young in the post-mid-30s bracket, but I have noticed the same thing. We're probably about the same age. And I notice as well. =| |

Both of the above / general increase in moderation needed - 16 (12.8%)
The moderation has been fine - 51 (40.8%)
We need less moderation / pure anarchy - 17 (13.6%)
We need a new thread moderator - 3 (2.4%) I was thinking to change it, but I guess I could leave it til the end of the day. |

I don't see what is controversial about my statement... which part of my statement is controversial?
my doubting of the moon landing or my confidence that the earth is not flat?
doubting the moon landing...seriously, that shit is cray Perhaps it is better that we forget about it. What a phenomenal waste of money, time and talent. NASA would have been better off, and gathered much more useful science by sending umpteen unmanned missions instead. I feel the exact same way about NASA's current project on sending a manned mission to Mars. I like the famous anecdote about the US's phenomenal talent of wasting money. NASA engineers spent millions of dollar trying to develop a pen that could write in space, or so the story goes. Meanwhile, the soviets used pencils. |

Hey all you tough talking Jew haters where are your balls now you, fags? I'm standing up to Goldman BallSacks and I don't see any of you anywhere. Poloniex is not some small fly by night exchange now it is a Gargantuan Financial institution backed by Goldman BallSacks. Is Polo liable? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4400856.0I only have a grand or 2 on there but it is the fact they are trying to take away our rights that I cannot abide. I could easily verify and get my funds but I know there are many who cannot. So I am willing to stand up for us all, but I will need support people, so stand the fuck up. TOP for standing up to the rothschild schills    Pansies deleted my post!!!! what a bunch of hypocritical fucks! Whats worse is they didn't have the courtesy to explain why. Where is the invisible MODERATION line in this thread?Hey all you tough talking Jew haters where are your balls now you, fags? There's a lot of tolerance here, but just coming in and hurling blanket insults isn't cool. What pushed your post into delete territory was probably the "fags" part. And I don't owe you any courtesy.  |

Of course, we've seen times before where the deep pocket whales begin the next bull run with a bang, aka a massive dump/short and stop loss hunt to liquidate all the of the leveraged longs first. If the whales accumulate for a long sideways period, this would give them the ammo they need. So I imagine the next bull run trigger will start with something like that. It could take us spiking down briefly to the $5K range in a flash, before heading back up.
Running stops seems to be fundamentally about acquiring product and not so much about effecting the price. Do whales need the coins that are on offer on the exchanges? It seems to me that a whale would interact with an exchange for the purpose of effecting the price more than the purpose of accumulating/liquidating his position. If he were either accumulating or liquidating he would want to do either of those things OTC because if he were accumulating he wouldn't want to drive the price up and if he were liquidating he wouldn't want to drive the price down. So he makes changes to his position OTC but perhaps he tries to use a small portion of his stash to manipulate the price down before making an OTC purchase and vice a verca before making an OTC sale. I'm not really trying to argue against you here. I'm mostly just interested in how you will respond to these thoughts. I'd think a whale might want run stops to drive down the market price, just to affect the OTC price. And he'd make some side money on shorts, of course. |

Swear to God (yes I am a Christian) this is the Wall Observer thread and needs more moderation. If you want to talk about Nazis, holocaust speculation, silver or gold bugs, people of different faiths like Jews and Muslims or tin foil hat controversies there are other forums that will welcome you. I don't post much here anymore because 1) I am busy day trading and 2) over about half the posts here seem to have nothing to do with Bitcoin. It is becoming a bit of a joke and a cesspool frankly. Just a thought.
Your ideal Wall Observer harkens back to the glory days of 2013. Since then, I think the thread has developed its own, unique culture that includes more than TA and wall observation. Though I'd like to see more TA here, actually. |

Nobody ever talks about the holodomor.
Because it's a lesser known event, and not filled with as much controversy as the Jewish Holocaust. What I mean by "controversy", is people doubt whether 6 million Jews died during the holocaust, but don't doubt that many Eastern Slavs were starved to death. There's also the extreme right narrative that the Holocaust never happened, so there is also that conspiracy to deal with, whereas Holodomor is generally not disputed in the historical context. You can find fringe deniers of anything. Half the world denies the Armenian holocaust ever took place. Maybe if Armenians were disproportionately wealthy, had disproportionate power in America, and had disproportionate control over every aspect of the media, they could beat the Armenian genocide into our heads from K-12 and at every opportunity. |

I don't think "fake news" is the problem. The problem is that most people are stupid and can't think critically. |

I voted (D), because I know I couldn't do any better than Infofront. A thankless job, almost invisible if swiftly managed. I would also like a few more distracting posts deleted - in the direction of (B), not A or C. The problem is drawing a straight line and, more importantly, spending the energy - physical and emotional - to implement it. Calling him out is really a bit unforgiving.
Let's be honest: We all do take turns in engaging such unsavoury characters. I agree that the auto-propagation of /ignore's to direct quotes would be quite useful.
TL;DR Necessary evil. Deal with it. Use that button if you must.

I found the new poll to be quite humorous, and to see that Infofront is interested in what the masses have to say on the topic. He surely does a decent job with moderation, and I believe him when he says that he does spend some time deleting some posts.. but also disclosing that he does not have the power to ban.. but I would imagine that if he wanted to get someone banned, there may be some weight there for him to report some of the more abusive patterns, which many of us recognize coming from the bug... I know of two guys who found their way onto the "Never Delete" list. |

So how is the holocaust coming along?

-insert dream about becoming rich via shitcoins so he can play videogames all day-
Sorry roach. That ship already sailed. I bought bitcoin @ $30, NXT @ like $0.001, Monero @ $4 and IOTA @ $0.01. I would be rich af if I didn't take profit like it was my religion but I can still play video games all day if I want. What price did you buy bitconnect at? I just listed everything that I ever bought that was even remotely like a cryptocurrency. That includes ERC20 tokens, ICO's, everything. If it wasn't on that list I didn't buy it. And I dumped NXT and IOTA (the more scammy ones listed) entirely after I had locked in a good profit. I didn't "believe in" them or "hodl" them. As of now I only own Monero and Bitcoin. *correction* I owned a little bit of litecoin and the original bytecoin a LONG time ago. Nothing serious there. Just messing around a bit with those two back when there were only even a few altcoins in existence. I was just kidding. It sounds like you got in at some nice entry points. I got my Monero at around that price, and am still holding a good chunk of it. Edit: I was holding it, until I lost it all in that tragic boating accident |

A bull market will not deter realr0ach. Just like a roach, he is tenacious. During a bull run, we are bound to hear the exact same arguments again and again. We will also hear much about Bitfinex painting the tape with Tethers. R0ach used to be a trader. However, I believe that he was turned off by the bullshit he perceived as happening with Bitfinex. When Bitfinex has "hacked" in late 2016, I think that was the final straw for him. Perhaps if Bitfinex would just go belly up, that would make R0ach go away. However, there are a lot more players in this space pulling some dubious shit, so I doubt it.
E.g. BitMEX that has been running its own for-profit trading subsidiary on its own platform... Regarding realr0ach, most of you are getting to worked up over his posts. Just grab a cold beverage of your choice and print out your own realr0ach Bingo card and follow the thread  I've known many trolls in my day and realr0ach is by far one of the more entertaining. I don't really even mind him. Look at that meme you just made, it's awesome and hilarious and it wouldn't exist without him. He's almost like our pet or something. I agree. I find him amusing, and think it would be a little more boring here without him. |

Poll Result Before Reset:  I was pretty far off. I always vote shortly after resetting the poll. Interesting. I was a bit bearish and guessed 7500-8000. I guess I win the big prize. When should I expect that in the mail? R0ach received a one-way ticket to French Polynesia. You can pick him up at the airport tomorrow at 11am. Congrats! |

Bitcoin's looking bullish; as soon as we go on a run, people like realr0ach will go away.
Nope. This thread has been rendered largely worthless because of It. It is still requoted and engaged endlessly even by real posters. It's been fucking years now and nothing will change It. I barely check this thread as it'll be 30-50% It. Yeah sorry for engaging it. It's reply to my post was just bot-generated garbage. Actually if infofront had any balls he could delete 'it's' posts for being spam. If you had any balls, you could click ignore. Edit: Also, people generally have no idea what or how many posts have been deleted. Contrary to popular belief, I delete posts daily, unless it's pretty slow here. And just so everyone is aware, I can't ban anyone from the thread. |

I'm not a big fan of forking away from ASICs, but I think it's the only option while Bitmain has a monopoly.
If Jihan Wu hadn't proven himself to be a bad actor, things might be different.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-29/everything-has-gone-wrong-soros-warns-major-financial-crisis-coming“The EU is in an existential crisis. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.” "The strength of the dollar is already precipitating a flight from emerging-market currencies. We may be heading for another major financial crisis." -George SOROS Fill your bags boys. This is the moment we all have been waiting for. It is coming. Paper monetary system is on life support since early 2000's. QE's kept him alive for nearly another 20 years and It has come to an end. The next 24 months are extremely critical. 2020 is the estimated year some of us came up with for the So Obvious The Muggles Can't Pretend to Ignore It event. Something that has been brewing for decades will happen, and Trump, the far right extremist president who stole the election, will be blamed. The next few years are indeed extremely critical. We will either change the turning of the wheel of history, or repeat the cycle. It doesn't matter. Bitcoin will demolish and reshape every existing order and power structure. Yes, but at what cost? A WWII style war with a clear and legitimate enemy would be far preferable to a soviet-style meltdown on a large scale. Even if only under the heading that "less people would die". Does that not feel a bit uncomfortable Ibian, the concept of "A clear and legitimate" ennemy? Between 1933 and 1939 many leaders of the so called democracies admired Hitler, Musso and even the Japanese... . When it comes to war, ther is no such concept. Look at all the wars that haven been ever since 1945, it only has become more and more fog, mist and smoke ennemies. I follow Infofront but for the opposite reasons : Bitcoin is challenging the warmongers. My thinking is that the warmongers will fight to stay in power the only way they know how. The only way I can imagine there being peace is if the coming financial catastrophe results in a sudden defunding of the war apparatus. If fiat currencies lose their value quickly enough, and the world transitions to Bitcoin quickly enough, fiat might not be valuable enough to fund large war efforts. As Ibian pointed out, that might not be the best case scenario though. One alternative, for example, could be mass starvation, and left-wing death camps. |
