I'm curious, does even the hardcore proponents of BCH are still holding this coin and believe something will come out of it after all this mess?

Yep.

Just read a nice, trying to be objective view of BTC on ZH.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-08/bitcoin-mining-beauty-capitalism

Looks like mining remains profitable for well-run enterprises. From the article:

At the moment, Northern Bitcoin has 15 containers with 210 mining machines each. The 15 containers produce around 5 bitcoin per day at a total cost of around $2,500 dollars at the end of November 2018 and after the difficulty of solving the math problems went down by ~17 percent.

That was all fake transactions

In bitcoin, there ain't no such thing as a fake transaction.

You're being willfully obtuse. Average SV blocks are smaller than BCH blocks, because nobody is using it.

No, you're missing the point entirely. SV has demonstrated that system as being capable of scads of transactions on chain. If you can't see the utility in that, you're beyond myopic.

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Im not a captain but I shall go down with it.

Funny story. Someone present heard it via sideband. Asked an appropriate leading question.

Btw who’s already drunk today and who’s gonna get drink today? Roll Eyes

Centurion Lounge, LAS, headed home after several days of (very) mild debauchery. Care to guess?

LeL I am now below my average cost per btc.

It is my turn to feel the pain.

Coulda cashed out from 3.8k and bought back. Didn't. What did I do instead? Bought more.  Grin

Sure it hurts now, but I expect you'll be vindicated in the end.

nobody's going to use a coin controlled by an egomaniac who is a proven liar.

Good thing Satoshi's design is beyond control, hunh?

How does Bitcoin SV get around the cost and capitalization of Bitcoin Cash?

By being the technically superior of the forks.

Since February, started with 4 BTC and has grown to over 450 BTC today.

Congratulations! You've done well for yourself.

Oh... Wait... Lightning system total capacity, you mean. Nevermind.

Of course, the rules for student loans, including eligibility and interest rates vary with time, but generally speaking there is a certain level of publicly subsidized loans that do not bear interest until after graduating or other qualifying conditions.

Piggybacking on this discussion...

Currently, 9.1% of student loans are delinquent by 90 days or more. This is an 'asset class' (to the makers) of over $1.6Trillion. Size of junk mortgages in 2007? About $1T.

Ponderate upon this: what happens when those bad student loans go totally tits-up? <mr_rogers_voice>Can you say financial crisis? Sure. I knew you could.</mr_rogers_voice>

I would not get too preoccupied with blaming benefits that go to more regular people as compared to bank bailouts and bullshit like that. 

I think your ponderationin' organ may be able to do with some calibration. Smiley

 Those home loans circa 2007 were made to everyday people as well. When they went in arrears, it was mom and pop on street left holding the bags while the fat cats got bailed out. What makes you think it would be any different when student loans are defaulted upon in mass quantities?

Having been convicted of possessing a plant that is now legal in my own country, I'm now eternally persona non grata in the land of the incarcerated and the home of the militarily emboldened.

 The ultimate irony, of course, being that Nevada has legalized recreational marijuana, right ?  Roll Eyes

 The USA desperately needs to adopt a sane drug policy at a federal level, if for no other reason than basic humanitarianism.

Slavery is already against the supreme law of the land. Though most can't follow the thread.

To be absolutely clear, nobody that posted within 20 pages of my boastful post (made the list - "was within earshot of the original boast"), should feel any shame, whatsoever, hitting me up via PM for a beer.

Man of his word, that BobLawblaw.

opa!

In unrelated, where's a good place to get multiple massive hard disks?

Newegg's always been good to me. If you need them in volume, CDW or Insight is a better call. Anything greater than that, you may as well negotiate directly with the manufacturer.

With government backed loans I couldn't care much less if I fucked up since everybody would get harmed by my actions.

First, drop in the ocean.

While true, an ocean that hath no drops ain't nothin' but a desert.

Second, if taxes weren't so outrageously high hardly anybody would even need student loans.

Agreed

Thanks for re-enforcing your support in [Bitcoin] SV though.

Don't mention it. Just doing my civic duty.

any coin be it btrash or etc that has their goal to be flippening has the wrong goal.

World reserve money is the goal. The flippening is only a side effect.
