Good, fuck em. They’re leveraged up to their ass and they’re going to crash hard. The US debt has been ridiculous for a long time. Fortunately, they don’t control the whole world. They just think they do.
Oh but we do.

'We'? You must be a stonecutter.

Superficial article is superficial.
Good thing that the supply/demand curve makes the mining profitable at some new equilibrium point.

Currently ~109% more profitable to mine BCH than BTC.
Does anyone have a real time link to BSV profit verses BTC?

Yes.
https://cash.coin.dance/ - about 1/3 down the page.
Missed it by that much.

She clearly doesn't want him to sell the vacuum cleaner for more bitcorns.

Funny coincidence, I just bought my first new one ever. May be a sign of getting old. LOL... Didn't spend 40k in BTC though. Smiley

Just you wait. Wink

An actual european army would be the biggest disaster of the century. As in, the past hundred years. Bigger than even the two hundred million corpses brought about by socialism. We can not afford to let it happen.

I'm thinking that, despite the folderol in the mainstream media, this sorta shit is what Brexit was really about.

https://www.coindesk.com/clayton-sec-ico-funding-security-offering
mentioned here, as well as xrp being a security/needing a lot of info lol
A quote from the interview:
Jay Clayton, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said Tuesday that he doesn’t see a pathway to a cryptocurrency ETF approval until concerns over market manipulation are addressed.“How that [manipulation] issue gets addressed, I don’t have a particular path. But it needs to be addressed” before an ETF gets approved, Clayton remarked during CoinDesk’s Consensus: Invest conference.


...

I don't know if Clayton is sincere or he is just hiding behind this 'manipulation' mantra.
...

Finally, it seems that 2 commissioners are for ETF, and in Dec. one more will be replaced. Whatever the staff decides it will be up to him to determine the approval of the ETF.

LTB Network had an interview with commissioner Hester Pierce -- 'crypto mom' in some circles for dissenting on the last ETF vote -- this week. Some considerations:
- Pierce believes it is outside the commission's purview to deal with the underlying asset's (e.g., Bitcoin) properties. She thinks the legislative mandate goes only to the regulated product (e.g., the ETF) itself. If her view is accurate, the commission's refusal [here I am extrapolating] may be extra-constitutional. As in... verboten.
- She recognizes her view may be a minority opinion.

I believe Clayton may indeed be hiding behind his manipulation mantra.

No, the commission votes - need a majority to enact a ruling. The chair sets the agenda, and is more influential than the others, but he is merely one of five votes in formal action.

Anything at all that couldn't work on BTC?

Anything involving mundane day to day commerce.
Don't forget the block size can always be scaled up, we don't need to try and pretend that 128mb blocks should be here today.

While it is true that technically, block size can be scaled up, the Core has already demonstrated that it is hostile to the very idea of inexpensive tx fees. What with gmax drinking 'champaign' over $50 fees and whatnot.

No, we don't need 128MB blocks today. But the time to scale up the blocksize was before the blocks became persistently full. Now, no business with any brain is willing to bet their livelihood on the chance that block size will be increased in order to stave off the next blockalypse. Those whose business models were destroyed in 2H17 are unlikely to return. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... fool... won't get fooled again.

And you can dissemble all you want, but the demand for Blockstream's paid Liquid (so-called-but-not-really) Sidechain is undeniably increased in the face of chain congestion. Whether or not this was a causative factor in the Fail To Scale[tm] is irrelevant. It will be seen as intentional by at least a segment of the target market.

Hey man, just give them whats gonna have value in a few years.... DO NOT GIVE LOVED ONES phony coins !!!

GTFOOH south your 'phony coins'. You have no flipping idea.

Hey dad, heres your shitcoin worth $500 $300 $250 $200 $100 $25 $5 ..... Might as well give him a bigmac coupon ^^

Again, you have no flipping idea. Astounding in your ignorance even. Let's just say that the progeny have certainly enjoyed santa's visits.

So santa does come early @jbrehers?
To be sure phony coins hold at least some value?  Tongue

Astounding double-down upon your ignorance.

why? cause i'm not into ABC-SV-ver-csw etc .... ?

No. However, the question was raised as to who was gifting bitcoin. I was one of the few (only?) who replied, and I am taking flak for it. I mean WT actual F?

You are publicly displaying an astounding level of ignorance by assuming what I am gifting, and being hostile besides by using this as a vector to denigrate my preferences.

If you want to have an intelligent conversation on the topic, go mine my posts for the last several years first to understand where I'm coming from. After your dropping instantly into attack mode, I ain't gonna spoon feed you. And if you insist on continuing to argue from ignorance, I'm done with this convo.

And to win trust from these people [ed: fantastic developers, who are the kings of bitcoin and bcash etc], Bitcoin needs to show that it’s scalable, stable, and permissionless. Without scalability, it’s not so attractive to these people because they would rather spend their energy building things on other platforms that they can benefit exponentially from. And without the perception of permissionless innovation and stability, wise developers will not want to waste their energy building stuff on top of Bitcoin because they don’t want to wake up one day to find that the rules of the game have changed overnight and all their effort has gone to waste.

Note the last sentence in the excerpt:
Quote
…they don’t want to wake up one day to find that the rules of the game have changed overnight and all their effort has gone to waste.

(Which is what would have happened to a bitcoiner waking up after a big blocker coup.)

The SegWit Omnibus Changeset, anyone?

Quote
And by the way, which marvelous applications have these developers built on bcash?

Yours and its ilk are possibly compelling, MoneyButton certainly is. It will be interesting to see what the author's contributions will lead to. _opreturn. read.cash. A DB interface over the raw blockchain is certainly the type of infrastructure that can be used for good. ERC721 tokens. KeyPort. Coinfunder. ChainTip. BitcoinCashKit. Flowee. BitBox. ka-ching. HandCash...

That latter article is worthwhile - plenty to ponderate, no matter where you lie on the BTC/ABC/SV spectrum.

The laughable part is he now thinks SV is the answer.  Horse to water, etc.

So does the guy who wrote the article.

zing!

Hey maw! Hey Maw! Guess what!? I'm a... I'm a ... symbol!

in part, based on the strong positions that you have taken in regards to ... bitcoin bashing, such as bashing segwit

In my defense, segwit bashing ain't Bitcoin bashing.

Yes.

I thought it was full of broken code ...

orly? Can you point to a diff that fixed such 'brokenness'?

and being dumped ...

Exactly backwards. It has risen substantially since the moments after the fork.

while they screamed there is no split.

OK, yes. They did claim there would be no split. There now is a targeted split. Backtrack.

Do bitcoiners have a super low libido or something? I remember a while back someone asked if we would prefer to have 3 bitcoins on the clause that we could never get more, a tulip farm with a guaranteed yearly income for life, or to be married to some random hot chick (with picture). Not one of us chose the chick.

Naah. Nothing wrong with the libido. I think the issue is '... married to some random ...'. Even with careful vetting, marriage can go sideways (did we not just have this discussion?). Who wants to grab a random box in a pretty package? And be saddled with it 'til divorce do us part?

I still am under the impression that he deleted all of his wallets when Gavin got the CIA involved ...

'got the CIA involved'? Is that really the way you see it?

During the 20k price I couldn't get Coinbase to link my bank account again, they refused for some reason. I wasn't able to sell and I more fucking certainly wasn't going to keep my coins or traded fiat sitting on a Coinbase account.

u r doing it rong.

Who TF trades on coinbase? pro.coinbase -- formerly GDAX -- is where you want to be, not the base platform. I thought everyone already knew that fees on pro/GDAX were a fraction of that on the base platform. Plus, your bank account not being linked would not have prevented you from selling when you wanted to.

I mean, I feel for you. But due diligence exists for a reason.
