I'm pretty sure MicG is talking about the original not the original.  You can't hurry love You just have to wait. They say love don't come easy (edited to be in haiku form) Which is, of course, a Supreme fork. Probably you need to clarify your above statement, jbreher. I understand that in the past, you have expressed beliefs that attacking bitcoin, even by fork, is merely a free market dynamic, and therefore, if we believe in free markets, then we should embrace such forkening events. So, are you still caught up on some kind of suggestion that there is some kind of praise that the bitcoin community should be giving towards various attacks upon it that are likely going to continue, including through various forkening mechanisms? Jeeze... lighten up dude or dudette. We went from Phil Collins to You Can't Hurry Love, which is a song that was first performed by the Supremes. IOW, the Collins version was a fork of the Supremes' original. |

Hmmm. The British Pound used to be 12 oz silver. Now it is central-bank-created paper. Which means that today's British Pound is not the same British Pound of 317 years ago. Which also means that no currency has been with us for 317 years. Sure, it's got the same name, but it is not a 317-year-old currency. |

They have KFCs by the dozens, but I don't recall seeing sister Yum brand Arby's anywhere.
Arby's is not part of Yum brands. It is owned by Inspire Brands. Well, there you go. I coulda sworn I'd seen locations coupling the two. (not here, of course) Probably just misrememberating. |

How is your morning, Gentlemen ?
All is well from 30km east of Carolina.  Only worry today is finding a sports bar where the wife can watch the super bowl. We'll watch it again when we get back home. For accordingly experience hath shewn that the super bowl in PR is accompanied by local commercials, rather than the creativity fest shown back on the mainland. Imagine that... watching TV for the ads. Whatta life. Jbreher, are you scouting it out for residency? In a word, yes. I don't know how productive the trip will be. I've never before scouted an area for residency. But the special cap gains treatment demand investigation. Perhaps most importantly during a down market. One week here on the east side, next week on the west side. We shall see what we shall see. For the time being, yo soy Boricua! Enjoy! I've been interested in PR for the same reasons. The western side of the island sounds more appealing to me. And I've heard there are a lot of Americanos in Rincon. One thing that worries me is that my brother's friend, an FBI agent, said it's fairly dangerous in PR, and kidnapping for ransom is remarkably common. The official crime statistics are cooked (like most places, I'd guess) to make PR look safer. OTOH, I'd assume most of crime is relegated to the San Juan area. Well, I'm going into this eyes wide open. I am aware that crime is statistically high here. One of the components of the mission is to try to scope out which areas may be somewhat safer than others. So far, I've not felt unsafe. Other than on the roads - these peoples drive crazy-like. Another issue is the lack of some American staples. A friend of a friend launched a successful ICO, based in PR. He said a few of their employees (from the mainland) couldn't handle the change. For one in particular, the final straw was when he found it impossible to get ahold of a roast beef sandwich.
Well, if your life is going to be dictated by what is available grab-and-go... There's beef in the supermarkets - one could make one's own. There's also pre-packaged roast beef - as in chopped/pressed/cooked/shaved variety. They have KFCs by the dozens, but I don't recall seeing sister Yum brand Arby's anywhere. Though I assume for such a person, Arby's doesn't have roast beef sandwiches either. Mystifying is the limited selection of TexMex ingredients - tortillas, shells, salsas, etc. It's available, but only one or two items in each category. OTOH, there is almost Hawaii levels of variety of Spam. Go figure. Navy influence? |

Apart from the one idea about attempting to spend as many bitcoins as possible before death, there's going to be a lot of this loss of coins through death happening, which is a little bit problematic for intergenerational maintenance and passing down of value... even though the overall loss of coins is bullish on the BTC price due to increased scarcity.
EVERYBODY ! (!) 1!1111!!! 111 ! Make a goddamned plan. You don't know when you're gonna kick off. You don't want your loved ones thinking you're a first-class douche for seeing the crypto revolution but being unable to handle simple succession planning. |

Disappointing. Of course, there is something about Sarah Jessica Parker that still makes her look attractive*, despite being a godddamn horse-face for the last twenny years. But the Dude reference is well-nigh shark jumping. I'm drinking my first white russian in years in order to commiserate. Half and half, and freekin vanilla Kahlua, but one must do what one must do. It's all I have on hand. Let Bridges and Parker share a communal casket. |

Thanks for fixing it - I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it to display. Incidentally, I also corrected the cardinal direction in a stealth edit. First coffefe of the morning, dontchaknow. |

Two words: Coinfloor; Nefario.
He left Coinfloor apparently. Not sure how much we can conclude form his prior involvement, My conclusion is that the other principals must be idiots. And that I consequently would not want to entrust any funds with them. Case in point: VVV but they're not on my personal recommendation list after support left me in limbo for a month.

Based on history, you can assert that nobody needs bitcoin; however, we are living in a new world in which the computer and the internet has become a staple of modern human living. Within these modern changes, bitcoin has the potential to serve a very central role in terms of individual sovereignty and ability to control some of his/her value holdings and transfers.
You may be having difficulties understanding any "need for bitcoin" because you are trying to downplay the importance of modern living and perhaps you envision a world without modern communications.... perhaps a world in which gold and silver has a role, but since we are moving to a different kind of world and bitcoin has accomplished a kind of paradigm shift in what it is able to provide and likely to provide, you are deluded into thinking that no one needs it, merely because it had not existed before 2009, and really, has not achieved, so far, any kind of significant levels of adoption.
So, yeah, currently, we have a world in which less than 1% of the world has adopted bitcoin in any kind of tangible way, and that level of adoption still remains quite superficial. Part of the reason to invest into bitcoin continues to be recognizing a vision in which its adoption increases and also it's value and utility will increase along with that. If you do not hedge into bitcoin in any kind of way, then you will merely have to run after this bitcoin train at a higher price, and even you, dumb as you seem sometimes, are likely NOT even that dumb to completely miss the train, are you?
Touche', JJG. Every once and a while, you appear somewhat smart. Rarely, however, have I seen from you actual flashes of wisdom. The above quoted post rises to this level. Kudos, dude (or dudette). |

Fuck Coinbase, Gemini is immediate for transfers, they credit it the ACH before it's in.
Not in the UK. Coinbase is near enough the only option (Well, Coinfloor recently reintroduced Faster Payments, but that's it). Two words: Coinfloor; Nefario. |

I usually merit for lulz. But seeing as you are continually running dry...
Even if true, that is a form of subtle (or not so subtle) merit begging... hahahahaha... I am running dry... Yeah, right... Haha. Poque moi? Running dry? Nunca mais, mon frere. Nein! Nyet! 0! Check you suppositions, JJG. |

It's Saturday, before going out to dinner, good time to drink Hendricks / Coca-Cola and listening to The Marshall Tucker Band, Album: Carolina Dreams / 1977 (Southern Rock) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfuM1w_28KYRegards.  Gad! I say, old chap - how ghastly uncivilized! Who would deign to adulterate Hendricks with that noxious flavored sugar water? Color me appalled! Just busting your chops. Whatever floats your boat... I guess. |
