most of these 'lower income' countries need bitcoin for protection from rampantly corrupt governments ... in such cases it is your duty to starve them of taxes which are levied criminally when there is no accounting for where the money gets spent/wasted
That mentality is what keeps those countries poor. Even countries with corrupt governments need tax revenue to provide for improvements. The less tax revenue, the fewer improvements. There is no way around that. Bitcoin isn't going to magically pay for public education, infrastructure, etc. no but it could starve out all the corruption in public systems and allow for better private schools for all (which are always better quality with better societal outcomes of free-thinking individuals) and also allow for private roads, better housing, private water supplies built by communities who actually have money to spend on projects that they benefit from ... you get the picture. Big public works projects are a magnet ofr corruption, waste and incompetence. Bitcoin could stop all this socialist bullshit that keeps countries in 3rd world status. |

justusranvier or cypherdoc is it? ... doesn't matter, just more of the same disingenuous back-stabbing bullshit aimed to divide and power-grab
you guys are pathetic, get something real, constructive to work on
Nope, but I did enjoy cypherdoc's gold thread for years before it was summarily memory holed by the party. If Core would have executed a small can-kick HF to 2MB 6 months ago, while segwit is extensively tested and wallets were given time to upgrade... I wouldn't have a bad word to say about them. Their own (in)actions and employment of censorship led me to consider more nefarious and self-serving motives. riiiight, this is all about a small thing Core never did exactly to your liking  write your code then parasite. |

It's funny because I was rather thinking that the lower-income countries would be the ones pushing for bitcoin. They have more economical problems which could be solved by using bitcoin (inflation, unsecure banking companies and so on), so it would make sense that they have more incent to use it.
Really? Lower income countries have economic problems partly because of vast amounts of tax evasion. Without adequate tax collection, how are poor countries going to pay for public education, better infrastructure, public safety, and a reliable legal system? Without those things, they will stay poor. A lot of people want to use cryptocurrencies precisely for tax evasion. Governments don't want cryptocurrencies partly because they don't want to enable tax evasion. Tax collection requires being able to identify people and their transactions. Isn't that the opposite of what cryptocurrencies are about? And I don't see how the expansionary supply of bitcoin will reduce inflation. most of these 'lower income' countries need bitcoin for protection from rampantly corrupt governments ... in such cases it is your duty to starve them of taxes which are levied criminally when there is no accounting for where the money gets spent/wasted |

Nah
Satoshi did the amazing work.
These guys are busy perverting and crippling it to incentivize take up of Blockstream's solutions to the problems they cultivated. They'd make way more from an IPO than from an appreciating BTC. Follow the incentives.

fuck when did this become r/btc? guys the devs are doing amazing work, rather than spending their time in a fucking speculation thread.
their hard work has made you all millionaires and you sit here mocking them. wow.
... the big-block camp is now just a hollow shell full of butthurt snowflake egos and whiny ragequit potential, they huff 'n pump ether and Mike Hearn was their role model ring leader who kicked all that shit-stirring off ffs ... |

How many Core devs does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They will just tell everyone that the risk of getting electrocuted while changing the bulb is too high, and that it's much safer to create a market for candles instead.
... green candles all the way bro |

Regarding chart buddy, Richy_T and chartbuddy exited this thread after Adam had been suspended for a short period of time, crying censorship and fullblocalypse and scale or die.. etc etc etc nonsense.
In other words, he took his marble elsewhere.. to the copy cat wall observer thread on bitco.in and also there's a dedicated chartbuddy thread too. Some improvements to chartbuddy as well, even though it would be a much more useful tool, here.
I think that in the past, there were some suggestions regarding the possibility of a new chartbuddy, a chartbuddy2 or a chartfriend or something for this thread, but someone would need to have enough commitment to program it and set it up and whatever else it takes. I think such a new chartbuddy could be somewhat self funded on a forum like this if it were to add a signature campaign to its postings (maybe hourly), then such signature campaign could possibly pay for a considerable amount of the time and effort to set it up..
I could code something up, but I don't feel all that comfortable doing this when Richie took his down.  We could pass the hat around ... Richie took his marbles to another playground. |

It keeps going up. What´s the next resistance?
$888 would be a new ATH in market cap ~$13.9 billion |

This definitely feels like 2013.... new ATH is very possible.
I think it feels a bit more like 2011 ATH run when we had a lot of turmoil on-going throughout, Mt. Gox kept going down, Gawker article about Silk Road, Schumer on TV freaking out about bitcoin, developers arguing ... and it still kept going up. 2013 was just euphoria and all in bitcoin love fest. |

What just happened on Stamp? Did someone go stop loss hunting?
sometimes the feeds get broken (like bitcoinity) when it gets wild like this so be careful to double-check and/or verify prices ... also there are some huge arbitrages opening up between exchanges now, this bull is going to get crazy methinks, getting that old bitcoin-crazy tingle coming back (only for 3rd time ever) |

LMFAO ... honestly, this is comedy gold. This guy^^ he really needs to get a stand up show and go on tour to the bitcoin conferences as a light relief act to run between all those dry regulators and bankers trying to coopt bitcoin with ignorant hour long exposes ... I would pay for the laughs.
 ha! ... this is what I see in my head when I hear him talking about woeful bitcoin trading |
