Is there some kind of segwit for monero by the way? Or would that ruin privacy?

"SegWit fixed an issue called transaction malleability, which enabled BTC transaction data to be changed before the network processed these transactions."

Why would Monero want to fix something that is not and never was broken?


I'm so disappointed. This has been one of my favorite coins for years, and everytime I buy it because it seems relatively low compared to the rest of the market.

It has pretty much agreed that Monero has been suffering an attack from centralized exchanges issuing naked shorts and creating paper Monero in a fractional reserve capacity thereby selling shorters Monero that just doesn't exist in order to suppress the price and drive people away. This has been proven by the fact large exchanges have frozen withdrawals due to "liquidity issues" which would only happen in a fractional reserve system.

If you want to hold Monero you should expect TPTB to continue to attack the system until they can either find a way to manipulate it to their advantage or concede (which those in power NEVER do).

So with all that being said, If you are just a NGU fanboi then this is not the coin for you as it is a down and dirty trench fight.

BTC is held in high regard by the banking community now so if all you want is NGU then that is the place for you. Stay clear of shitcoins.

Monero for money and bitcoin for wealth storage and you will win long term.

When I started following the project 2 years later, I was also interested in it, just like ZEC. Both are mined and both are aimed at anonymity. 

Everyone and his brother can track and trace ZEC transactions now:

Quote
“We are helping regulated businesses look at transactions on the blockchain and completely support people’s rights to financial privacy,” said Tom Robinson, Elliptic’s chief scientist. “If funds are seen to come from a shielded address, that might then trigger some additional compliance processes.”


Quote
“One of the core differences between us and Chainalysis is that they are really focused on law enforcement and so they will have customers who are asking them to de-anonymize the likes of Monero,” said Robinson. “We provide transaction screening tools for exchanges and don’t plan to offer our functionality on something like Monero where everything is private by default.

That's absurd to believe that. As the Bitcoin market gets bigger, volatility in either direction gets smaller. The main reason is because leverage stays relatively flat, i.e., the same amount of leverage applied to an ever increasing sized market has less and less of an effect over time in either direction.

Also the added liquidity (derivative markets) will peak at a certain point and then taper off in proportion to the cap.

I saw this PlanB tweet after I had already drafted and posted my above post... and surely I think that PlanB and I are saying similar things - but he seems to like to get his lil selfie into trouble with his use of absolutes... but whatever.. he can do his lil thingie..


I coined what I consider a pretty cool saying on the subject.


When you speak in absolutes, you are Always wrong.

Yeah I hear you, some chopshops are terrible.  Ripped every muscle and tendon in my right should and could move my arm.  Emergency room doctor told me it was just badly brused went to a specialist next morning and just shook his head.  Told me within a week or so I would have been SOL. 


Ouch!  Glad you got that sorted, it makes me sick those hacks are protected by the industry.

With that being said sorry about Mattison but d cook 7 rushes over a hundred with a td.  Boom welcome back my man!

Sum bitch!

Dam Dalvin cook is playing tonight.  I chucked him back in my starting lineup.  Dude went out 11 days ago with a separated shoulder.  That would knock me out of a dart league for at least a year lol.  Apparently gonna play with a shoulder harness on.  Kind of a gamble but he has played before with a harness and had 31 touches so rolling the dice tonight.

I dislocated my shoulder, put it back in and went to bed at about 7pm ( I usually crashed at midnight at that time) and woke up the next morning yawned and stretched and it fell out of the socket again! I didn't need coffee to wake up that morning I'll tell you! I put it back in and went to work (Marine at the time).

Finally 3 years later of getting sick of it falling out of the socket I had a putty platt done on it. Never missed a day from it except for the surgery recovery time.

Dang you are tougher than me.  And the dude is getting wrecked by linebackers with his shoulder all loose goosy.  Maybe it's not that big of a deal at all. 

As long as the harness keeps the shoulder from moving out of the socket the arm should be fine. Tendons shrink back extremely fast. My socket was damaged and thats why it kept falling out and had to have surgery.

I had a big toes that was dislocated that the doc told me was only fractured and I told him it was dislocated I know exactly what that feels like and he ignored me and splinted it and told me to come back in a month. I walked on a dislocated toe for a month and went back and told him it was still dislocated and that time he  x-rayed it from the side instead off just the top and said "damn your right" and tried to pop it back in but by then the tendons had shrink so much he and 2 other guys could not pull it back into place. I learned the hard way not to trust the VA doctors and that tendons shrink fast in that one episode and have a screw in my big toe to this day because of that.

Either way cook 3 rushes 54 yards and j jefferson with a td my Minnesota combo doing work tonight already!

I benched Matheson. Sad

Was hoping to have him this game without cook. It would have been huge for my team.

He was in crypto since 2017. The police is investigating. They managed to "freeze" part of the coins that were stolen.

If I was in the position where I thought too may people knew I held keys to a large stash I would wear a key to a safety deposit box around my neck and give that up to them after a slight bit of resistance. And in that safety box I would put a key to coins that had already been moved just as a fuck you if they ever did manage to get them or if the box ever got seized.


LOL, that's a smart reply.

Lately, many of my neighbors are asking me about cryptocurrencies. I had made the mistake of mentioning about Bitcoin to them, back in 2015-16, and now that prices have shot up, they changed from laughing, joking and making fun of me, to being serious and wanting to know more. I just tell them I had a boating accident, and kindly ask them to never again mention to me about Bitcoin, because it makes me depressed to be reminded of what I had and what I lost. Funny thing, they accept it, and I can see a hidden smile in their expressions, as if they are happy that I lost my corn. Envious bastards...

Low brows are easily misled like that, kudos!

.... However, what other choice do governments have? ...

They have the same choice El Salvador made.

Oh, if only that were true. The UK (we began this with a post about UK taxation/HMRC) is at the very heart of the legacy financial system. Remember that the Federal Reserve's modus operandi was based on the Bank of England's. I would love to see the UK accept btc as legal tender. In fact, that would be astonishingly good. But that would be akin to a bitcoin phoenix rising from the flames of a rotten corpse. I suspect UK plc will be one of the very last to embrace btc. We can live in hope though.

I'm not sure what you mean by the bolded although I have spent zero time researching the Fed as its all obfuscated and hidden from prying eyes.

Maybe you can explain this?

In 1791, the government granted the First Bank of the United States a charter to operate as the U.S. central bank until 1811.[144] The First Bank of the United States came to an end under President Madison when Congress refused to renew its charter. The Second Bank of the United States was established in 1816, and lost its authority to be the central bank of the U.S. twenty years later under President Jackson when its charter expired. Both banks were based upon the Bank of England.[145] Ultimately, a third national bank, known as the Federal Reserve, was established in 1913 and still exists to this day.

The Fed’s reputation for policy competence and independence
owes much more to the role of strong Chairmen in recent years than to any statutory design.  By contrast, the Bank of England was founded as a private bank. Concerns about
independence played no part in its early history and only came to the fore after it had acquired,
step by step, the responsibilities of a central bank.

For anyone who missed the dip, now is the time to try again. If you pussy out you'll regret it in a few months I reckon.


I swear I can predict the dip by when I am fiat broke!

Never Fails.


The danger for us, who know what Bitcoin means, is similar - to be tempted to sell at the "top" of the cycle and rebuy at the "bottom" of the bear market. It sound so tempting, for example if we sold at 20K in Dec 2017 and rebought in 2018 at 3100, we would have had >6x more coins! And this thought was so depressing for me during the 3 year bear market. But there is nothing to be done about it. On the chart it looks so easy, but how many succeeded selling and rebuying with such a huge profit? The odds are much smaller than betting on a single number of a roulette in a casino. They are higher if we aim for a smaller profit like 10-20%, but does it look fine betting 100% of our stash for, say a 25% chance of winning? This is only a rough estimation.

This is soo true, even if you do catch the top which I did the chances of getting back in with the original amount or more is slim for a myriad of reasons.

Mine were mostly partying and gambling.
