Core is the only way to go because in Core the devs have demonstrated that they can came up with real solutions, and their conservative approach is desired in the crypto space where everyone wants to innovate and scale at all costs (see ETH disaster).

Some people are genetically prone to become very harsh addicts and the ill require medical treatment in order to overcome said addiction. Thankfully tho, most people with addictions can overcome them with some willpower without any medicines involved. Addicts will always exist because it's how some people are built.

I think I will give Spain another win tonight. A 2-1 bet in my opinion is a safe bet, I might go for that and see what happens. Iniesta is one of the best players in the world right now. Good luck.
1984  Economy / Speculation / Re: To hold or not to hold? on: June 21, 2016, 02:03:53 PM
Panic sellers always lose in the long term. Ask yourself: In a year, will BTC be higher price than it is now? Depending on your answer, sell or start buying as much as possible.
1985  Economy / Economics / Re: Why a little drop down occurred? Read the thread for knowing the reason. on: June 21, 2016, 01:58:22 PM
I just explained this. It's just whales pushing the price down to buy cheaper, they are using media press FUD news like the australian gov coin sellout and the bitfinex fiasco to drive the price down so people sell. Your theory might be correct too in addition to this.

Bottomline is, price will keep going up after whales end stacking cheap BTC.
1986  Economy / Economics / Re: Ridiculous mentioning of BTC selling on: June 21, 2016, 01:55:44 PM
The drop has been because of this plus bitfinex fail (bitfinex exchange stopped all trading hours ago due a security mistake), whales then used this scenario as a good moment to short, they drive the price down, panic selling nobs sell, then whales buy back cheaper and FOMO kicks in again.
As a result, whales get more BTC while it keeps going up and noobs get 0 BTC while it goes up. Idiots.
1987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: To everyone converting BTC to ETH on: June 21, 2016, 01:50:33 PM
ETH is doomed as soon as Vitalik does a fork to get back stolen funds. In fact, I think it's too late already to save it. It's like, imagine Core devs decide to fork because people has lost money in the bitfinex fail which has made the price of BTC go down for the last ours and they want that money back.. it's stupid.
1988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wright looking to patent Blockchain-related technologies on: June 21, 2016, 01:36:53 PM
How predictable that Wright would get headlines again now that BTC is relevant again to all those idiots that only care about it when ti goes high in price. Im tired of all this bullshit. Wright is nothing but a NSA agent, the more you talk about him the worse it will be. Its just what they want, giving him attention so random people think he really is Satoshi.
1989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: June 20, 2016, 05:13:13 PM
A shock therapy is sometimes needed. You must need to stop gambling even if you feel like suicide or some shit, you just need to start thinking as if gambling is bad for you, and it really is , so you must focus on not doing it again, there aren't no other way to do it but suffering for an addict, everything else is a cop out.
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Euro 2016 on: June 20, 2016, 04:43:12 PM
Damn, it's getting increasingly hard to bet on Portugal... Ronaldo is just not able to score when he plays for the national team. I think he will never win a title for the national team. How many years does he have left as a player? maybe 4? so there's maybe another Worldcup and a last Euro after this one, and he better start winning now otherwise I just don't see it happening.

On the other hand Messi it seems its finally being comfortable with the national team.

He is over rated in my books.
I am beginning to think he cares more about how he looks in the lead referee's eyes than the actual game being played. They all know he is a drama boy when trying to get the calls in his favor  Roll Eyes

That's too much to say. Sure Cristiano Ronaldo cares about how he looks like and stuff, but you can't say the guy doesn't care. He is the top performer on Champions League for a lot of years now, he scores the most goals. His problem is specifically in the National team where he just can't score, he lacks the confidence he has in Real matches.

Ronaldo live for football and if you guys think that he care most for his appearance than it is wrong, he is not a selfish player in a country game like this although most of the time you see how selfish he is in the team but he isnt right now. He is underperformed and thats the reason portugal cant win any game yet

Yes, Ronaldo is one of the most hard workers in the game. I think he can still redeem himself by delivering a good performance in the next match and they still have chances to classify and go on the next phase. I think Portugal is a team that is one of the 5 teams that has realistic chances to win the Euro, but first Ronaldo needs to start scoring.

You are taking an huge risks by buying a falling knife. It's not clear at all that ETH will recover from this mess. Sure the volume is huge and the price can rebound, bu fundamentals are starting to look uglier than Ribery. So I would just stay all in on BTC to be honest. Good luck with to the gamblers tho.
1993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people own 21 BTC aproximately? on: June 20, 2016, 04:07:08 PM
Well i think not all early to know bitcoins are pioneer because not all people specially on my country can buy as much as 2btc in one cash in as the previous quote.
21BTC i think its about 10-15% of people own ,only higher than that maybe but the average as i observe is about 1-10BTC only 10is the highest .

21 btc is really a very high amount and not possible for everyone to hold it, if I will have 5 btc then I would be much satisfied as its worth would be really more in future.

Exactly said, even a single bitcoin is much worthy and in my opinion possibly around 20% of users will be holding 21 btc.

Increasingly less and less people will own 21 BTC+ or more, since more and more whales will keep slowly selling making the distribution more even, but new actors in the Bitcoin economy will have it increasingly harder to own this amount of BTC, which means only those who already own 21 BTC or more and hold very long term will become really rich.

It's still possible to own 21 BTC as a normal person but it would require some risks that most are not willing to take.
1994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which would you prefer? Satoshi is a male or female? on: June 20, 2016, 04:04:31 PM
I don't really care who Satoshi is, I just like the code. With that being said, I understand how most people would be obsessed with finding who this guy is since most people are sheep that need a leader, it's really sad to see. Thank god that at this point, it's unlikely we will ever know.
1995  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Evidence that Craig Wright might be Satoshi after all on: June 20, 2016, 04:02:50 PM
This is 0 evidence. In fact in the bbc article they admit at the end that this is basically more mental masturbation about the whole thing.
Was Craig Wright involved in the early Bitcoin days? Sure. Does this mean he is Satoshi, nope.
Hal Finney, David Kleiman and Nick Szabo to name some, are still more accurate candidates.
1996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tau-Chain and Agoras Official Thread: Generalized P2P Network on: June 19, 2016, 10:07:44 PM

Ohad, could you please post the an update of the presale?
it would be awesome to know exactly how many AGRS are in circulation...

Ex:
Claimer 1   -   2/15/2016     30.000AGRS
Claimer 2   -   5/15/2016     400.000AGRS

I see an adress in Bitttrex with 447k AGRS  Shocked
that's 447k*40ksat = 178 BTC   Shocked   Shocked


btw, what do you think about getting into Keiser Report to explain Tau?

I would like to see Ohad talking about Tauchain in the Keiser Report, Max Keiser always tries to make the right questions to make complex things understandable for the laymen and he's always a fun guy.

In any case, im surprised no one else is asking what im asking... how can we trust exchanges to hold our tokens? When can we have software to hold tokens ourselves?

Imagine that guy with 178 BTC invested for example. Bitfinex decides to pull a Mtgox/Mintpal/Cryptsy (so many examples of exchanges failing...) and he would be fucked big time since we all know once an exchange runs you are not seeing the money again. Thats why we need software to hold coins ourselves quick.

Messi is on fire... Argentina already won the whole tournament in book. I would bet for wins for Argentina everytime they play, thats what I will do, other than that I will focus on Euro.
1999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tau-Chain and Agoras Official Thread: Generalized P2P Network on: June 19, 2016, 06:18:42 PM
This is as interesting as confusing to me. Im still trying to learn what's the point.

I may be interested to invest, but as an investor, I see a fundamental risk and that is the fact that this doesn't even have a proper way to store the tokens locally, so you would need to hope that bitfinex doesn't run away with your tokens during an unknown amount of time (no one knows when a local wallet will be released to download). This may damage the project eventually. Another interesting project (Maidsafe) had problems to deliver a software that would allow you to have the definitive tokens (Safecoins) in your hard drive instead of in Poloniex or whatever, they have been delaying this since forever, so far as I know they are still with the non-definitive tokens (MaidsafeCoins) which means you have to have those tokens in Poloniex or whatever exchange you are using. This is suicidal for any long term investment. This is why I ask, how long until we can carry the private keys ourselves to not depend on an exchange?

I also want to know why would this Agoras token have any relevant increase in value in the future. You also mentioned that Tauchain "may or not may have its own token". Would this other token be separate token from Agoras token? Im just unsure about the whole thing.
2000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH = Game Over on: June 19, 2016, 06:11:33 PM
It's ETH problem too. Who created ETH? Vitalik Buterin. Who panicked and start acting like a central banker trying to stop all trade of ETH to stop people from panic selling ? Vitalik Buterin. Therefore, this sets an ugly precedent and makes the creator of ETH someone that you can't trust.

Acting as a judge without any legal protection for being an arbitrator!

Vitalik et al are playing with fire as I pondered upthread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcLKrkwPLQ#t=3864

Especially listen at 1:06:15! And listen at 1:11:15 where the attorney says Vitalik (et al) is creating dangerous legal liability for himself (themselves) by being the judge!

The likely party to be sued are those who can be identified and have a pot of money.

Where did you get that video? It shows as hidden so I didn't see it in andreas's youtube channel.
Interesting, will look at it while i walk in the treadmill later, its two fucking hours long tho, it will take 2 days.

Anyway, Vitalik suffers from delusions of grandeur, this is clear by the fact that he wanted to work under turing complete system even tho he was advised that it was a mistake by a lot of people. It's better to admit limitations and work around those limitations trying to get a robust system, that is why everyone should be all in on BTC since its the best we have on crypto thus far, everything else is highly experimental.
