My working theory was that, now the great pretender has painted himself into a corner, there was nowhere left for him to go. That's why I thought the time had now come to simply ignore him. But what I'm reading here in response tells me that people see the problem escalating if we do that.
Maybe I'm warped but I never saw any type of 'threat' in the first place. He's a ludicrous shit heel backed by a pervert who've attached themselves to a fork of a fork. Two seconds of googling would give anyone with a functioning mind an immediate overview of the fountain of diarrhoea they've spouted since turning up. Since every single credible person who's given an opinion on this has clearly stated it's all balls if someone wants to wander off into their loving embrace anyway then I hope they enjoy themselves. After they've yielded to them they may start to wonder why it's not on Coinbase, Binance or Kraken, never written about in the press other than the whole thing being a joke and why they're laughed at openly every time they pipe up by almost everyone from every crypto faction. To me at least it feels a little like a crypto care home where the special cases can see out their decline in peace without polluting everywhere else. |

I occasionally browse the first posts of longtime users. Sometimes I recognise them. Sometimes they've morphed into something completely different. Some of those who started off sunny and inquisitive have wound up frosty and elitist.
From looking at me I seem to be rather consistent. I'm annoyed by the same stuff. I'm interested in the same stuff. Maybe that points to stable genius or just a dulled mind forever frozen in adolescence.
Have you been consistent throughout, become a better person, or become mad and embittered? Have you noticed others undergo radical personality changes over time? Do your old posts shock you or would you write the same things today?
Accounts changing owner don't count of course.

OK, I’m going to throw this out there right now.
It's a big fat no for me. The only way I'd give a yes is to spend the gains on a pan global hit squad to torture to death all the politicians and religious leaders responsible for the suffering of real people. |

Got to be one of the most pathetic and straw grabbing articles so far and there are billions to choose from.
And is the author so dim that he's mistaken all those fake Elons doing 'giveaways' as the real man's support? I most certainly would not be surprised if that were the case.

Holy shit, just spent the last hour reading about what happened to American Pegasus.
The psychology of markets is fascinating, the psychology individuals have towards money even more so. I can think of several people who if they wound up with millions of dollars would have nothing to show for it 2-3 years down the line 100% guaranteed. No matter what they did, no matter what you advised them, it would fly away from them. Some people simply are not born to handle it and nothing can change it. It's fated the moment you pop out of your mother's arse, or wherever people emerge from in these troubled times. |

He wanted the world to use it.
The world can't use it until it's gargantuan and deeply liquid.
Speculation is the quickest way to get the ball rolling if a little alarming and crude at times and only the first step.

[Think of it in this way. There is another world war because of this IRAN tension. A destructive war would mean that banks, paper currencies and gold can be destroyed but blockchain will survive because of its decentralize nature. No one can destroy the bitcoins even in the war, so does not it make it the best investment ?
If banks are gone and gold is reduced to a useless rock and you approach the guy hoarding water, antibiotics, food, naked women and bullets and start noodling on about your scrap of paper with useless numbers on and how he should be honoured to accept it you'll probably wind up with a machete buried in your forehead. |

We keep complaining about services not accepting bitcoin but at the same time, we're not willing to use it. We shouldn't expect any service to starting accepting it if all we do is hodl. Even if they don't accept BTC directly, you could use third party services[1][2][3][4]. [1] https://travelbybit.com/[2] https://www.travala.com/[3] bitrefill.com (To buy HotelsGifts or FlightsGifts GCs) [4] https://www.cheapflights.comMy main problem with crypto merchants is a lot of the time they charge more than paying with your local currency, like it's some type of honour. Sometimes it's because they don't have the same markets, but other times they just glue it on top and hope you won't notice or care. If I compare a price for a flight from London to New York on January 23rd -27th it's $377 on Cheapair or the BTC equivalent. Booking direct on the same flight it's $341. I'm happy to pay the same price. I sure as shit am not paying more. |

A lot of my friends bought bitcoins at the all time high, believing that the price would skyrocket to $20 000 or even $50 000 per coin. As you know this did not happen and the price dropped with more than 80%.
Oof. I wouldn't have allowed that to happen. I knew the bubble was done when someone who'd been aware of crypto for years called up and said he was going to buy $3 XRP. He got slapped upside the head. Everyone I told about it got some from me for free. That helps. |

But it's 2020 and we shouldn't even consider WAP2 anymore.
Yeah, but it works. I certainly couldn't use it full time but for a browse it's far better to me at least. And quoting with the normal forum is utterly agonising on mobile unless you want to quote entire giant posts. I like to trim them to the point I want to address and that can take several minutes to get the goddamn phone to delete the bits I want with disappearing cursors and over enthusiastic deletions. |

I have a Wirex account. I use their debit card. I don't use their banking. All of the complaints they have, and they plenty but I'm sure all services do, are about their banking.
Their app is also a lot less reliable than Coinbase. They also appear to have a spread when buying or selling which Coinbase doesn't. That might eat up whatever lower percentage they advertise.
And why are you not using Coinbase Pro with SEPA? The fees are much, much lower.

You can try this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?;wap2It's very basic, quoting is a nightmare and there are some format problems but it's clean and fast. I think it's ancient but I find the normal forum intolerable on a phone. I use Opera on mobile which does a good job of rescaling the text to fit if you zoom in for the original forum format but it's still harder work than I can take. |

I don't think a big company like google will look for tax loopholes. Don't they already have a lot of money? I do not understand if they want to do this.
I would class them as tax 'opportunities' rather than loopholes. Why wouldn't they exploit them? To not do so would be a disservice to their bottom line. Governments created them. If they don't have the balls to close them or lacked the foresight to see that corporations would dive in then that's on them. |

look
the gloves are about to come off

I fingered Melania in 1989 when interrailing. And Donald in the rough on his Scottish golf course. Donald was more moist. |

Which could explain google and other private sector entities adopting repressive stances towards bitcoin, on behalf of banks who they rely upon to provide them with access to financial networks allowing them to exploit tax loopholes.
Cryptobros themselves are largely to blame for the advertising ban. If 99% of them hadn't been pieces of shit that set everyone's money on fire then it wouldn't have happened. Google wouldn't knowingly advertise a non crypto ponzi scheme/flagrant and empty cash grab either. No doubt some have slipped through the net here and there. Note the conditions for allowing crypto advertising again. You had to convince them that you were a legitimate crypto service. Since almost everything that was advertising previously wasn't that seems perfectly sensible. We do need to be conscious of becoming too dependent on a small number of private corporations but we also need to be conscious of how disgusting the scene can look from the outside. |

I'm not saying Virgil Griffith is guilty but the judge already agreed with a bail and he also doesn't view him as a flight risk whatsoever he even has a clean record on had to convince the judge even more. Another thing that makes me don't jump into any conclusion is I know for a fact that the authorities in the US are having several kinds of these witch hunts for far too long to sense that on matters like this so I cannot say that the US is seeing things clearly here or they are just easy to accuse someone on things they haven't really done.
If it's proven then it's an extremely straightforward case. He went to an enemy of the US under almost universal sanctions and educated them further in how to evade them. It doesn't really get much more simple than that. The nature of cryptocurrency and the nature of the DPRK's way of operating would make it a screaming no to me at least. |

Any other TLDRs? I couldn't handle the narrator's lack of popshield.
Being grabbed by FBI agents with the SR admin page open and responding live to a fella outside on a bench is just about convincing enough to me.
Beyond that there's so much murkiness and weirdness I wonder whether any definitive story will ever emerge. Were there multiple DPRs? Was there more law enforcement weirdness? Quite possible.
The nature of what he created and the desire for government revenge no doubt means aspects of his trial were screwed before he started. I can't see them ever letting the slightest chink of light through from the off.
My view is that he's 100% guilty and a penis. He deserves to be jailed. He most certainly doesn't deserve to be jailed for an entire lifetime. And since the trial seems so warped he should be free anyway.
Had he been directly hooking up drug makers with drug consumers that would be cool, but he was smoothing the way for all the blood money in the middle. SR removed some street level violence. It did nothing to address the horror in the manufacturing and transportation.
As for Karpeles, he comes across as stupid, dishonest and lazy. And his every other action points towards the same conclusion. DPR was none of those things. Several million times so for Satoshi.

There won't be a formal war. There'll be an ever intensifying series of proxy conflicts and destructive incidents. That induces shocks and uncertainty into markets. We still can't really tell whether they're closely correlated to BTC but a general decrease in confidence won't be very helpful I should think.

Oh my fucking GOD  Turns out it was all a plan to shill whateverpaysmecoin after all. After this I truly do not know where to turn. I feel I've been banished from the flock. |
