flippin crazy pills in here again
again? Isn't that the norm for this place? Actually, this thread used to be the best wide-ranging collection of intellectual discourse in the cryptoverse. I miss those days.

Interesting. Had not previously run across this Dr Roy Murphy. Is he pervasive? Is he truthful? I think his reputation has the previous blemish since he was promoting the bitconnect scam. Proceed with extre-e-eme caution on that one if at all IMO. I didn't follow the bitconnect scam, as it was clear from the outset that it was a scam. If Murphy's claim is to be believed, some 17 posts he made out of hundreds even mentioned bitconnect, and those were skeptical. IOW, that he did not promote it. Is he lying about this?

And the he asked me how many i have of BTC lol I asked him how much is in your bankaccount ? Thats not the same he Said hahahaha
Proper response: While that's true, the only real difference is that I control my wealth directly, while you have foolishly entrusted yours to others.

Its interesting if you look at Bitcoin on the weekly, this looks like capitulation more so than it does in 2015 on the weekly.

You are too new to be lecturing us. Grow up a bit first, and maybe start a bit more slowly by introducing yourself. Meh. Nevermind JJG, soxxx. He's just practicing to be a curmudgeon. Something to which a person might aspire, should one's horizons be limited. luurve ya, JJG - don't ever change. Happy Kringle.

Too many retards move BTC out to cold storage. An exchange or two goes bust. I'm sure you know what effect this will have on BTC price? Well, at least historically we saw big exchanges going out of business but never 2 or 3 of them simultaneously. BTC price plummets to double digits.
Great job guys, it was a good cause and stuff and we proved rehypothecation etc but there are no winners and there's price to pay. Is it worth it?
Abso - fucking - lutely. For to continue on under partial reserve scams makes us all losers. Rip off that damned bandage. Frankly, I think the price would not be negative. We would have demonstrated a purge of the bad actors, leaving only proven honest dealers. This is good.

Why in the world we would need this network stress test? Everything works as expected. Looks like an evil plan to sabotage BTC
Because without something like this, we really don't know the extent to which exchanges my be engaging in partial reserve and rehypothecation.

yeah, i lost my only chance to buy cheap bch at $92
Yup! BCH price was going up very fast, i missed the chance to buy at below $100 Of course, next week you may be looking back thinking 'I should have bought when it was below $300'. Don't be that guy. Also, don't be the guy who listens to this idiot. He championed BCH during its disastrous decline all year, making him one of the biggest losers on the forum (on paper, if you go by his stated track record -- only things said beforehand count; claims made after the fact are worth nothing). Sure, the Bitcoin Cashes are down considerably, but Bitcoin Segwit is down even more so. 15(190.73+105.73) = 4476.90 > 3921.26 15(ABC+SV) > BTC Sorry, but my investment of a chunk of my BTC into BCH has been profitable. You are just plain full of shit on this matter. Now, it is a reasonable discussion as to whether or not the various Bitcoin Cashes may continue to outperform BTC. I think yes. You obviously think no. But to deny the reality of the current price situation is just lunacy.

You're old enough to know that anybody can say anything on the internet and all of it can mean nothing without proof. You've also stated you were "hedged" in BTC, BCH and SV long before the last recent decline, so you're still sitting on a loss with all of those positions. Bragging about a trade you may or may not have made is pretty lame.
I am not bragging about a trade, I am using a real -- albeit anecdotal -- example to illustrate that things are not as dire as you present. The reality is that for certain entry points, Bitcoin Cash is profitable as measured against Bitcoin Segwit. And all your bloviating about "BCH is a month-over-month vanishing fraction of BTC" is impotent against this simple truth.

Lightning is for low, micro to sub-Satoshi payments.
I've already seen this a couple of times, how can you go sub-satoshi? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) You can go sub-satoshi because Lightning is something other than Bitcoin.

Facebook is going to create their own stable coin for whatsapp, targeting the remittance market.
Western Union's response: "We already operate with 130 currencies. If one day we feel like it is the right strategy to introduce cryptocurrencies to our platform, technology-wise, it's just one more currency. I think cryptocurrencies may become one more option of currency or assets around the globe to be exchanged between people and businesses. If that happens, we would be ready to launch."
I don't know whether they are just putting on a brave public face, or if they truly don't get it. Then end game is where nobody need exchange the in-flight currency to local currency.

If BCH/BSV is being pumped, it means that BTC is being sold to buy this cancer. When those will be dumped, they will be traded for BTC (most likely).
Assertion does not withstand the merest scrutiny. For while ABC is up 40+% and SV is up 45+% on the 24 hour, BTC is also up ~4.5%. If the ABC and SV prices are driven solely by BTC dumping, then why is BTC simultaneously up?

There are less than 150,000 addresses with more than 10 BTC.
I think there’s probably less than 15,000 people in the world that have more than 10 BTC.
So 135,000 of those holders of more than 10 BTC are exchanges, trusts, corporations, and the like? Seems like an unlikely ratio to me.

BTG being ASIC-resistant, there is no chances for it to be rekt'd by these attacks.
Other than the fact that BTG has already been r3kt by attack. Oh.

Do any of these plebs talking about the price and gains know that BCH has toppled from over a couple of thousand dollars?
Yeah - you got a point to make there? Harping on this without a simultaneous discussion that current BTC price is also a vanishing fraction of its ATH is just frickin' stupid. ... kind of like how BCH is a month-over-month vanishing fraction of BTC, right? As of late, the large trade I made buying BCH with BTC is in the green. What's your point? My point is every post you make in this thread is duplicitous garbage. Absolute twaddle. Even if it were true -- which it most assuredly is not -- that has nothing to do with whether or not "BCH is a month-over-month vanishing fraction of BTC". So again - what's that got to do with your point? Keep bragging about fictitious trades you made
Now you sound not only silly and stupid, but salty as well. You must be upset that both SV and ABC are up over 40% in the last 24 hours, while BTC will have to console itself with a more restrained 4% pump. Of course, 4% is nothing to sneeze at - it's even a very good daily return. But it ain't exactly 40%, now, is it? Boo hoo for you. Guess you shouldn't have dumped.
