Not before selling someone bitcoin and then getting scammed. Surprised that he didn't get charged with MSB crime.

He hasn't tweeted because that asshole was calling 'bottom' at $9K, then $8K, then $6K. All the while shorting the market.

When Novogratz is calling bottoms, SELL.

It saddens me that had something like this been released 5 years ago, the Bitcoin/crypto community would be going absolutely apeshit over it right now.... but years later, released to a yawn. This is supposed to be the holy grail of Bitcoin merchant support, and nobody cares now.

Also, if this integrates easily with a Coinbase account, why hasn't Coinbase themselves released something like this? Or just fucking buy this company? Un-fucking-believable that they want to spend all their time/resources on supporting the purchase and trading of hundreds of shitcoins instead.  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes

So remember this well, newbie hodlers:

When in a few years Bitcoin goes parabolic again, the euphoric bubble pops, and then a few months later supposed "Crypto Gurus" like Mike Novogratz and Tom Lee come out of the woodwork being interviewed in the MSM saying that the market has "bottomed".... well...

SELL

BOTTOM NOT IN

(Those idiots were calling bottom at $8K. They wanted you to buy into their short positions. And they'll do it again.)

And when they quietly disappear from MSM?

BUY

A legend of the priest who could predict whether a new baby would be a boy or a girl:

There was a priest in an area, which was known for his ability to always predict baby's gender with 100% accuracy.
It was going on for decades and everyone marveled at his abilities.
Eventually, the priest grew old and sick and just before he passed away, a parishioner asked:
"Please tell me a secret: how you were able to do it?"
Come closer, said the priest and I will reveal my secret to you:
"I tell the family that it would be a girl, but in the church book I write that it would be a boy.
Then, if it is a girl, my prediction is correct and if it is a boy, then I tell them that they might have a mistaken memory, then ask them to look at the church records and there it says: "a boy", so they are happy and content."



Moral of the story: The church records are full of bogus gender entries, and priests never lie.  Grin

The price action is quiet.  Uncomfortably so.

Shhh.... we are in the "Average Joe has forgotten that Bitcoin run-up moment and has entirely moved on, so much so that he has even forgotten Bitcoin was ever a thing" phase of the bear market.

This is the best part. Savor it.

IMO, Max is a bit of a certified idiot.

Have been "sorta kinda" following his activity via others RTing his silliness.

I want to believe, but Max holds absolutely zero credibility with me.

He's right up there with the Roger Vers and Craig Wrights in terms of people who enjoy the smell of their own farts.

Inherently untrustworthy qualities to me. Goddamn fart huffers...

Agreed. He lost me years ago with Maxcoin. Anyone who aspires to make a new shitcoin with his name on it is chock full of ego and hubris.

Do you think he really thought BCH would overtake BTC aw the number one?
Imagine how much money he’s lost!

Honestly, I don't think he's lost that much or ever intended to. Most of his BCH was free, forked from his BTC holdings, and he admitted to only converting something like 10% of his BTC holdings to BCH (probably the truth is far less, if any at all). That should tell everyone his true convictions about BCash.

The guy is secretly no financial dummy, he had everything to gain and virtually nothing to lose with his hair-brained BCash plot. It's just a make money (or make more BTC) scam for him and that is all. Just like it is for CSW.

The only thing he's *really* lost is his respect and his pride within the crypto world.

It's weird. It seems many of the old school bitcoiners who didn't pile on Monero are now piling on Grin.

The name 'Grin' is apropos: It's the look on the whale scammer's faces when they pump and dump another shitcoin to the moon and back, leaving thousands of bag holding n00bs crying on the floor.

LOL at Roger Ver:


If u shill for a clean p2p cash - u should choose BSV .

 Grin

Lightning Network is the only P2P cash system I've seen. Can you explain how BSV is p2p cash?

...and as Coblee drops the mic, the room is silent.

...for about a millisecond.

The silence is then shattered by Roger, CSW, and all the other BCash shills and anti-Bitcoin trolls, who quickly ignore the facts just presented, and continue to gaslight the public in humongous roar and gnashing of teeth.

An inferior product cannot survive

Thats why we still have http and html  Grin

He doesn't get it.  He compares bitcoin to the early automobile makers who were put out of business by Ford et al. Bitcoin is "only" a protocol, like http and html.

Damn those idiots who keep buying "an inferior product" year after year for a decade now, instead of waiting for something in the future that comes along and does the exact same thing, but in a worse way, with tainted conception (pre-mining), bad issuance, worse distribution, centralized, bugs, security issues, scaling issues, etc. /s

Side note: Never thought of money as "products" before, but I guess that's what it is according to that guy.  Roll Eyes

Conversely, no one questions why fiat has the purchasing power it does. Who sets those prices? How would anyone know if they are just, or fair?

Everyone is a fiat maximalist with their heads stuck in the sand.

So I guess people believe that as long as a crypto is secure, scales, has a good wallet, can run a node, and runs on good hardware, then....

....it really doesn't NEED TO HAVE ANY PURPOSE FOR EXISTING BEYOND THOSE THINGS TO BE A SUCCESS??

Are you guys for real? Those are all just technical details, that can be easily cloned and replicated with the click of a mouse.

I don't understand why you, Torque, have this tendency to describe some general point of view, and than attribute such point of view to "you guys."  

Is this just an ongoing figure of speech of yours, or are you always engaging in such generalization fallacies in your way of thinking about matters?  

As if you are the only person that has any original perspective, and all other thoughts fall into a glob of "you guys think?"   Or a Straw man, way of presentation?

They know who they are JJG. Obviously not you. Unless you secretly think the shitcoins du jour have any purpose for existing or real world value, in which, I'd be glad to debate that with you.


ETH's "valid use case" today is it's facilitation of scams (including ICOs), so whether we like it or not, ETH has a "valid" (even though scam dependent) "today use case," no?

Sorry but no. To facilitate scams is not a value-add purpose for existing. That's total bullshit.

Great tweet storm. If there's one thing I could tweet on that thread (can't, I don't do Twitter) is that :

*Before* a crypto can succeed as a worldwide payment system, it FIRST has to become a successful SoV.

Why?

Because you can't have a successful worldwide payment system without high liquidity. Period. And you can't have high liquidity without a high enough stable value, brought about by solid SoV as a core attribute first. On chain scalability is secondary to this (although LN completely solves that problem).

[...]

Where did you pick up that thought?

Because guys here that want to spout how great XRP, ETH, and other shitcoins are, cannot tell me what purpose for existing they have TODAY? That serves a valid use case, one that adds real world value? Or one that can even be monetized?

Maybe that's where I picked up that thought?

Let's go down the rabbit hole of debate, shall we. Let's dispel the delusion.
