Greenspan: "The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that" [History for Bitcoiners]

https://twitter.com/RedditBTC/status/1111244452809633793

::sigh::

Greenspan -- long before he was with the Fed -- advocated the position that any monetary system not based upon hard assets was inherently flawed.

So much misinformation. You ignorant sot.

What's the point of "fully scaling" if nobody uses your coin?

BCH blockchain size: 167.20 GB
BSV blockchain size: 169.49 GB
BTC blockchain size: 244.81 GB

BCH active addresses: 23,353
BSV active addresses: 8,198
BTC active addresses: 580,395

You sound salty.

I thought the smallblocker mantra was 'Bubut mah RaspPi can't store that much data!'

Why would I be salty? You're the one down 30% (or more) on your bitcoin imitation investment.

I don't know why you'd be salty. I'm just observing that you seem to be. After all, you're the one hanging around the Bitcoin Cash thread for the sole purpose of badmouthing it.
Isn't  that what's this thread is for?

I guess if you want it to be. I've got better things to do than hang around a bunch of folks with whom I disagree, in a futile effort to move implacable values.

Gentlemen (and trolls)
With a sad eye and a heavy heart, I bring you bad news. Yes we have a a traitor in our midst

For an additional possible joke suggestion, I had thought that something like disabling all hat avatars would be great, but I just don't know if there is an easy enough algorithm to filter the type of avatars, and another problem would be to reverse the joke.. might not be easy, either.  Anyhow, the ban of hat avatars premise could be that a kind of cult has established around hats, and such cult behavior takes away from forum cohesion.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Incumbent users of hats would be disallowed from employing the use of any kind of avatar for one year.

This is no joking matter JJG. It's pure, vile treachery.

At least, you would have an out, when you petition theymos for your ability to have use of avatar permissions.... just plead with theymos that you were forced into this hat wearing cult... and you can even show him that you had been able to resist for a good 3 months longer than any other hat wearer... before you finally succumbed to the cultish hat wearing pressure.

Too little, too late, JJG. Thou hast sinned against all that is holy. You have one page to get your affairs and effects in order. Before ostracization be imposed.

In other news, what is WO take on giving btc to your own children? Worth it or idiotic since they don't know how to hold it safely?

I've been giving each of my progeny -- chillens and grandchillens -- one BTC (and one BCH ((and one BSV)) ) each year since years.

I look at the addresses each year to see how they're doing with them. All hodled tightly except for minimal percentages of daughter and one son, in whom I have instructed on the incremental laddered standing order plan.

Your practice alone is going to cause a BTC supply shortage.  Just think about the many poor folks around the world who are not even going to be able to own .1 BTC and many of your progeny will have several BTC each.  Wink

By the way, the bcash variants are not likely to have and impact on the world in any kind of meaningful way, and if they hold them more than a few years, they are likely to increasingly decrease in value - perhaps even faster than the dollar, so likely they should spend those bcash variants first.   or better yet, convert them into BTC. #gresham's law Tongue
Building a family dynasty? I like it, until the grand kids trades it all for Facebook coin.

I had already expressed a couple of years ago that I don't think it is a good idea (especially giving a whole coin each year... that is ridiculous)... but whatever.. it is a child rearing choice that is totally within his discretion.
I think it's more than great if he has the funds to do so and the patience to not be upset if they do something silly with it. (As he does occasionally check their addresses it seems) The second part would probably be the hardest.

In my thinking it's not about generosity exactly, but instead trying to figure out ways that kids are going to develop their own self initiatives.

Let's say jbreher got into bitcoin around the same time that he began his forum account in 2011, and therefore started giving 1BTC per christmas per kid/grandkid then living.  The value of that gift changed stupendously, and the kid/grandkids who are at least 8 years old received 8BTC each, so far.

Perhaps, I don't know enough about the situation, but it seems both sloppy and reckless, from my perspective  - and jbreher's earlier explanation did not make too much sense to me, just like the quasi-unrelated concept of his ongoing support of bcash (including faketoshi) don't make much sense to me.  And, all of those are within his discretion... and the only way that we (am I using the royal we, here?) know about all of those ideations and practices of his and can talk about them, is because, at various times, he told us about them.

Yet, as evidenced by their hodler status, they are all handling it responsibly. Perhaps your childrearing assumptions are as off base as your choice of preferred crypto. Wink

While I don't agree with the implication, rum spew on computer monitor gets a merit. Them's the rules.

Would you be so kind as to enlighten me on slippage? In what way would it screw with trading?

I would assume the implication was that: if real volume be truly that large, then slippage should be much less than that experienced.

Scam CIA Emails Want Your Bitcoin

Those pesky scammers are up to no good once again!

It seems that now, a cryptocurrency fan has sent out a warning that scammers are posing as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to trick you into sending over your Bitcoin. $10,000 worth of Bitcoin to be exact.


"We've got pictures of you wanking, and your email list. Send money to make this problem go away"?

Incidentally, I was contacted two days ago by the FBI. For reals. About Jon Montroll's exit scam. I'll post details in the relevant pre-existing thread. Maybe tomorrow. More ron to beber first.

Who's buying beer based on BTC price actions?  You?

If you make such promises, you are going to need to be ready, willing and able to deliver upon your promise when the time comes...

I'm initiating an island rum toast to BobLablaw, who did indeed make good on his promise to buy us each a beer.

A major survey of 127,545 American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood. Men who have marital partners also live longer than men without spouses; men who marry after age 25 get more protection than those who tie the knot at a younger age, and the longer a man stays married, the greater his survival advantage over his unmarried peers.

I'm long-time happily-married, but I need to openly wonder whether the quoted study has a control group of 'married in all but the license and ceremony' pairings?

My wonder being limited to the level where I'm not inclined to actually read the study to find out.
