I'll throw my hat in this ring (ha).

9913 - it always seems like we are about to break into 5 digits (and many times, the next $X,000 amount), and it gets dropped back down the jusssst before.

Can you at least put some effort in? It's not even entertaining anymore.

I drew lines, they look like they are going up. I'm a professional trader now according to this board

Not sure why everyone freaks out when it drops from $7k -> $6k. Unless you bought BTC in the last year and that is all you know, this is really, really boring movement.

hmm, maybe he is correct and your reading comprehension skills aren't up to par to understand, let alone debate him.

Don't really care about what sites he links. Assume no site is secure; you best protect ya neck and you'll be just fine 

I think the reason you don't like anonymint is because not only are his posts longer than yours, they actually contain relevant information throughout.

Edit - Soooo, are you saying you are a troll? Lol.

I find it absolutely hilarious how hypocritical the people in this thread are. The constant rhetoric in this thread is that shills/scammers resort to name calling, misdirection, and censoring attempts at silencing people who disagree with them.

anonymint came in here and provided an intellectually stimulating conversation for once; backed by a logical progression of his thoughts and where he derived them from (whether he is right or wrong is irrelevant). How many posters here actually do that? Maybe 10? Hell, even roach falls in this category!

What was the response to his posts?
- A few individuals read what he wrote, and had a decent discussion about it with a few even offering a well written rebuttal (they are part of the 10 posters mentioned before).

- Called a "fucking retard" or some variation with zero reference to what he said, let alone trying to refute it.
- Labeled him a bcash shill, which is laughable as he says it is shit in pretty much everything he writes
- You have banana man taking out his dick and trying to show people how big it is, talking about how much bitcoin he's bought and sold which has no relevance to the conversation at hand.
- Then there are calls for his removal and for him to delete his posts because it's off topic... as if 90% of the garbage posts on here aren't off topic.

Name calling. Misdirection. Censoring.

If anything, the absurd reaction to his posts leads me to believe he's more correct than not, and I have only just started reading it. This thread has fallen apart, because the few people that are interesting to read and who are actually contributing worthwhile information are slowly being driven away one by one.

Interesting. Log scale shows an almost inverse correlation between hash rate and price.  I wonder if this holds true for more than just the past year (didn't realize graph was all time  ). Did price dip with that big increase in hashpower recently?

Of course correlation =/= causation.

“I respect Bitmain, but we will bypass them," said CEO of GMO Masatoshi Kumagai.

Recall that in September 2017 GMO Internet Group announced plans to invest $ 320 million in the mining industry and the creation of a new generation of chips. According to representatives of the Japanese Internet giant, bitcoin is intended to become a “universal currency”, providing “unlimited economic freedom”.

I love their confidence and outlook on bitcoin.

I believe something like this already exists. Started in 2007 in Estonia, called Keyless security infrastructure. There are companies now trying to use in other markets as well

I find it very difficult to believe the moon landings were faked.

Considering the political environment of the time, the USA was in a race against a technically competent opponent full of very smart people, don't you think Russia, China, or any other country capable of doing so, would have called out the USA immediately? Embarrass the shit out of the USA by proving mathematically/showing that they did not in fact do what they said? I've never read or heard of such.

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.

I thought you guys already lost all your pants 

I believe it is mocking the original poster of the chart, implying that the lines they drew mean as much as a bat/batman pasted on top.

Bitcoin being accepted as legal currency in Japan and South Korea aren't... legal? Or do you mean, you can't pay most lawyers with btc? Actually, I'm sure you could probably pay off a judge/politician easier with bitcoin than cash haha.




What are the technical developments of XRP, ETH, and EOS that surpass Bitcoin? It would be nice to know now, rather than a year from now.

I don't get it, the guy posts a bullish news article at a time when there is very little good news surrounding bitcoin (mostly just FUD) and you shit all over him? Who gives a shit if it's on that website? I doubt roger himself wrote the article (hint: he didn't). What's the guy shilling, Korean news? Lol.

How many governments have officially come out and said that bitcoin is recognized as having actual, real world value - not banning crypto currencies, or saying crypto is only used by criminals, etc. - especially in one of the biggest crypto markets in the world?

Did you guys lackadaisically brush off when Japan made BTC a legal currency? Or when Overstock.com said they were going to accept BTC, were you guys like, "whoopdi fuckin' doo, we all know it's got value, congrats company for figuring out what we already know"? No, we were all happy it was being adopted by a well known company where we could buy real things with our bitcoin.

Which of those payment methods are you in control of all your own money?
Gpay, VISA, Venmo: all built on top of the banking infrastructure, who hold your money and issue you IOUs. Replace banks with bitcoin, which is in your control.

The price also surged over 30% in the 7 days leading up to Dec 6th (~8500 -> 11500). Should we assume they had insider knowledge they were getting subpoenaed before hand and started the pump prematurely?

I hear you, my man. My friends/family/coworkers were all the same way. I told them to get in when it was $250ish (2013), that it was potentially world changing, and I was laughed out the room. I still remind my old roommate about his response, "Yeahhhh, no thanks. I've got some gold coins, I think I'm good." Or my boss, when it dropped like a stone, "Ha! How's your bitcoin treating you now?" - He no longer speaks to me haha.

Back then, I was part of that $500 emergency group, as shameful as it is to say. I couldn't afford it; I was so far in debt from making some stupid mistakes when I was younger (well, more from stupid lawyer fees, but I digress lol ) that my credit cards/loans took everything (we're talking 10's of thousands). Still, I found a way to put $25-50 a paycheck into btc; skipped trips, partying, dating, etc.

Selling as it rose over the last 6 months, I can say I'm now debt free. Paid all my cards off, paid my student loans off, and I was able to put a small down payment and own my own place. I wish I'd kept all the messages from those same people over the course of December, "fuck you and your bitcoin". Sorry I'm not sorry, but it's never to late to join the party

As always, HODL; even better things are soon to come. Just don't think that's the end all/be all, spend some if it will make your life better. Just make sure not to sell it all

You would if you were the man

That's what I assumed as well. My point was that they should say that and stop making people assume. At the time the price was changing +-$100; negligible compared to what we've been dealing with the last few days and weeks. Even now, the price is still within ~$100 of this morning; apparently the news/non-news is not having all that great an effect on price as they implied.

It's just annoying seeing "click-bait-esque" posts on here that the user adds nothing to the conversations. I'd much rather read through longer posts (like yours or even, dare I say it, r0ach's haha), at least I can try and glean something from them.

If I wanted useless posts, I'd go to r/btc. Oh well, my ignore list grows (like it matters, I'm a nobody here :p).

_{Edit: The next 24 hours are critical}

I'm mad that I/others have to read your drivel and that it's taking up space forever on this wall.

I am quite happy with BTC's performance over the last few years, and have no doubt I will be even more so in time to come.
