Of course, some of us are fucking around in here, but the reality of the matter is you need to prepare for either price direction... both mentally and financially.

When people get emotional, such as you are, they say all kinds of stupid and inconsistent things based on incomplete thoughts, as you are.  

If you are going to say something, then why don't you flesh out your ID-ers a little bit, and 'splain a bit about what the fuck you be talkin bout....

Otherwise you impress ur selfie as a babbling troll-like creature that won't be lasting too long in these here parties.

Accordingly, I hardly remember our conversation and you be dwelling and harping and harping on something and going on and on about something that ain't nuttin in ancient history (by the way, a day or two ago is ancient history in bitcoinlandia, including the Wall O'threadia )... GET a fucking grip, grn!!!!!!!  

YOU BETTA  cancel your retirement plans..... because DOOOOOOOOOOOOM is coming - can't you see it?

A pretty low chance... like almost a miracle(or a snowball's chance in hell) would be needed.

I see that there are a lot of guesser date gaps starting in March, and it seems pretty likely that some folks will come into the thread to attempt to take those dates.... hahahahahaha... How ridiculous can you get?

Seems like mid-march would be the soonest, but several months would seem more realistic, like June or July...... if BTC is pretty bullish, and September or October for a slower boil, but still very bullish scenario... but in any case, the number of guessers does really start to thin out as time passes..

I cannot really blame anyone for being BAD (that means not good) in their prediction skills because I recall that in late 2017, I was considering the end of the year to put us around $23,000 ... hahahhahahaha... so in the end of 2017, it seemed more than reasonable to consider January and February dates for the $24,777 price in the game.

& Slow, too.  Remember?

Which part?  Are you signing and referring to yourself, or did you have some kind of an emotional outburst that you could not contain?.

Might you NOT understand that a large portion of any battle when interacting through quasi-anonymous forums is not to lose your cool? 

The principle seems to apply in real life interactions, too... that is assuming that you are a person rather than a bot.

one satoshi might be sufficient to make you a fiat millionaire in a relatively short period of time.

Well, Roachie Poachie.. let me 'splain sum ting 2 u.

Wat's ever u dooo, u do NOTS wanna get's ur selfie, roachie poachied.

Udder dan dat, no muchie 'splainin can b dun nor neeeded. 

 

I agree that you should leave the whole of Adam's OP untouched.  However, I also think that it would be good if you could put your own expectations in the OP - probably before the Text of the OP of Adam...

Probably, give your short rendition of the history and when you took it over.

 You could even say something like I agree with everything that Adam said - except and then list all of the exceptions or the new guidelines that you would like to notify and maybe there would not be too many exceptions - because you do seem to have carried out the largely hands off (except for obvious trollers) tradition pretty well.  At the same time, I would hope that you would NOT get too rough on us... ... We would not want you to transform yourself into anything close to resembling a Meuh6879 - hahahahahaha..


Edit: Bitserve beat me to it, and used way fewer words, too... go figure.

I am not sure what is exactly going on with Tera because sometimes what happens is that the member is not sufficiently persistent in the attempt to get the account back - or let the stolen account stay in the hands of the other for too long, and thereafter it becomes more ambiguous regarding who is the original owner. 

DT members do flag accounts as stolen, that is for sure... can also hit the report button in order to attempt to get attention to moderators... but if you are not the real owner, then it becomes harder for you to prove that the account seems different.

Some kind of similar thing happened with AdamstgBit.  He was not persistent in trying to get the account back, but part of his reason was that he also became disgruntled towards forum admins, too.

I think that you have adequately answered all of the questions. so thanks for that.  I don't really believe that we need to disclose any of our specific BTC holdings in order to discuss at what levels of prices would allow us to make substantial life changes due to BTC price rises (or anticipated rises). 

Sometimes you will find me and others baiting posters into disclosing aspects of their BTC holdings and surely any of us will understand if you keep some of your specifics private.

I believe that with a large number of traditional investments, they theorize that you should be able to withdraw around 4% per year from your investment in order to maintain the principle in the long run...   It is possible that bitcoin could perform so well that it allows for higher withdrawal rate levels that would still preserve the principle - including the possibility of 10% per year withdrawals... but conservatively 4% is usually safe with a traditionally diversified portfolio of investments....

so one thing is withdrawing and maintaining the principle, and another thing is if you decide to draw down on your principle as well of course none of us will live for ever and one of the most certain things in our life is that we are going to die.. not meaning to end on a negative note.


NOT.

In other words, you want to either make this a question about 1) whether I read the OP adequately?

or alternatively,

2) you want to keep the thread alive by changing it's title?  

I recall reading several recent posts in this 23 page thread referring to how the subject of the thread is either no longer an issue or that the thread should be closed.  So, isn't that fair that you should figure out what you are going to do in the event that you choose not to close this thread?

Edit:  I did reread your initial propositions  that either blazed and hilariousandco should be removed from DT 1 or that they should remove lauda from their Trust lists, and you are subsequently suggesting that saltyspitoon is removed from DT1.  Those seem to be quite out there propositions for a trust system that seems to allow for decentralized discretionary judgements regarding who is on each of their DT lists.  Accordingly, it seems logical and appropriate that any member can choose who to put on their own DT list, even if others do not agree with that judgement and their determinations or reason(s) for their trust list choices(s).

Oh my....  You have some kind of inability to let anything go, QS?  And  you seem to want to take the discussion to one additional level of extreme absurdity, even further than the absurdity already achieved?

Actually bitmover, if you have been in crypto for a while, then surely you should be able to find some threads here that interest you.  And, if you do, then just take on one thread at a time.   At minimum if you find a thread that interests you then you should, at minimum, read the OP and perhaps one or two pages after the OP, and then read the last few pages.  Of course if the thread is a major interest to you, then you should already be motivated to read more of the thread, and perhaps every single post in the thread.

Sure, there are going to be some similarities here to Reddit, but of course differences, too because this is not Reddit (as you already know).... Anyhow, I doubt that you need to rush your attempt to have an experience in this forum, so if you really want to become more involved then you can just spend time and little by little add threads to your watch list.    Everyone is going to differ somewhat regarding what interests him/her and therefore, you gotta find what works for you, attempt to interact and contribute, and likely merits will come to you from engaging in that process with the passage of time, and there also might be ways (or threads) in which you believe that it is is easier to earn merit as opposed to other threads.  We are still getting used to merit too, here, because the new system has only been in place for a bit less than a month.

Possibly, he enjoys the fact that he is so famous for being roached that he does not want to change his roached status and therefore his potential place in history (of being the dumbest fuck, ever)

It's not her...


She would not be doing a signature campaign, either.

The writing style does not seem like Tera..... I suppose that the account may have been sold?    She can report that, and maybe admins will freeze usage account?  but if they have no way of verifying who is the real Tera, then they might let it keep operating with the new owner... then we might get a publicly displayed battle between Tera and Tera2, perhaps?

Sometimes it does not matter.  Just want to vent.

Yeah..   Sounds like you are on the right track.

Just keep making a bunch of shitty posts like the last one, and then sooner or later you will randomly obtain 10 merits from other members who feel inspired to send you merit based on such random nonsense.    

Thereafter, you will be able to just sit back and chill in a signature campaign.  Like this:


On a more serious note:  I do see that you are capable of better quality posts, and you did already receive 1 merit for one of your decent posts - accordingly, only 9 more merits to go...  If you consider ways to improve your post quality, rather than just throwing out a bunch of quantity, then perhaps your "long long way" will be reached with relative ease... I would think that the number of merits required for member status is likely going to seem like a cakewalk compared with the number of merits that you will need to receive in order to reach forum ranks higher than member.

Besides your stupid-ass use of bitcoin core to describe bitcoin, and your attempt at confusion by referring to bcash as bitcoin cash, you are also suggesting that the true bitcoin is a product of it's having more networking effects.  

Many of us probably already have heard of the 7 network effects outlined by Trace Mayer, and perhaps many of us would concede that if Bcash were able to gain substantial ground in those 7 network effects, then it would be in better place to be touting itself as the "real bitcoin."  But instead, currently bcash has fuck all in those networking effects, but still wants to tout itself as the real bitcoin.. so yeah, aspirations could meet reality, even though currently bcash remains as an aspirant to become the real bitcoin rather than anything even close to the real bitcoin inspite of it sharing the same prefork history.



Your response here, Torque, seems to support why in the real world, the ability to establish actual networking effects, within the contemplations of the Trace Mayer model become relevant in determining what (which) is the "real" bitcoin.
