This is all just an experiment and we really need to see what happens when a major, long lasting fork occurs. If Bitcoin can't survive, it wasn't good enough to begin with, and it would be time to go back to the drawing board.
No drawing board is going to solve a split consensus  Huh

Tweaking? What the hell does that mean? Is that a polite way of saying whoops I fucked up? I hope the missing coins get found on him somehow and those who lost a lot of money get it back.

The majority were probably spent long ago or never existed in the first place. I would be surprised if he didn't have a large, hidden stash somewhere, mind you.

Ashley Barr, A.K.A "Adam Turner", the first Mt.Gox employee (Jun/2011--May/2012), is doing an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on reddit.

Hey, thanks for the link. That makes for some pretty interesting reading. 430K BTC in a hot wallet, he only had one bank account which was shared with customer deposits, he knowingly deposited money into fake accounts, "my grandmother has a castle in Switzerland."

2488  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you expect from the halving in 2016? on: August 01, 2015, 01:10:01 AM
Do you really think the effect of the halving will show itself 'exactly on' of 'right after' the reward halfing?

Of course the effect will be spread out to a period starting well before the halving itself end ending well after it.

Many seem to struggle with causality when the effects are not immediate. I should like to experiment on forum members by removing B12 from their diets, to demonstrate gradual and delayed effects.

Not I.  After X = because of X, scientifical fact!
I also enjoy extrapolating from a single point on a chart (only one reward halving has taken place to date).  Too many data points only cloud the big picture Smiley

We are a little, mischievous imp, aren't we? And you know what imps like best? Being strapped and gagged.

Rumpelstilstkin can attest to my mastery.

There's been a full on assault on this thread by the madam of choppery, so we should proceed with caution or lol. Up to you.

Bit like a bouncy castle being assaulted though, isn't it?

Most people are very unimaginative (and uninformed). They can't really think for themselves.

Alas, herein we seek our advantage.

When Bitcoin goes up, everyone thinks up, and when sideways, everyone thinks sideways. During the last bubble, people were imagining 10,000 USD, now they're imagining range-bound for the next 5 years, lol.
2494  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin goes to 1200-1300 within a month. on: July 25, 2015, 07:31:04 PM
The OP says the month is not over yet, which suggests he still thinks we will be at 1200-1300 within six days. If he's right the price will have to go up 900+ dollars in less than a week, and I don't think its ever gone up that fast before. The November 2013 pump was close, but did it go up that high that quickly?

I believe you have to go all the way back to July 2010, when price rose 1000% from 0.8 cents to 8 cents in five days, for an increase of corresponding magnitude.[1][2][3]

[2] Post by Gavin stating rise from .8 to 1.4 cent on 12 July: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249.msg2424#msg2424
[3] First day trading at Gox, price 5.9 - 8.6 cent on 18 July: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg10zig2-hourzczsg2010-07-17zeg2010-07-18ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

I believe she (via sock) posted some over-sized GIFs and a P&D declaration a little while back, probably because it had crashed all the way from $287 to $285.

Wait, she?

Just another moron who can barely speak english like 99% of posters on this forum

this forum being filled with broken-english speaking retards

You do realise the English language comprises more words than faggot, retard, bullshit, asshole, cock and suck, I assume? Perhaps you might like to pick up Dr. Johnson's magnum opus and familiarise yourself with some of these other fine words, like chauvinistic, rancorous and knucklehead.

I asked this earlier in the thread and received no reply but I shall ask again. On which website can I add different day moving averages? I cant find an option on bitcoinwisdom.com

Can't you do this on BitcoinWisdom? Settings->Indicator Parameters. I use 20/50/200 setup for EMA/MA.
2498  Economy / Speculation / Re: Direction is NNE on: July 22, 2015, 11:35:00 AM
This is more intriguing than the 1200-1300 thread and I think the OP has more sway than the other.

This kid supposedly bought 1000BTC when price was >$300 before the crash because GREEN 3-day MACD "proved" that we were heading UP:

Or armeggedon could come and the world will be destroyed. Or a supernova happens near our solar system and we're wiped out. Or ISIS drops 10000 nuclear bombs in north america.

But if that happens, then you're screwed either way. Debt or no debt.

If you become unemployed, and you have no money, you'll still starve to death whether you have debt or not. Makes no real difference. But if you win the bet, THEN you become unemployed, you still have money left over to use.

Most debtors see only the prize and ignore the forfeit, which is their pound of flesh.

If you make a bet, know the consequences, consider the possibilities. Don't tell yourself it's a grand idea just because you might be ionized by a supernova.

If things don't go well and bitcoin fails, so be it. It's not too different from people betting a few years of their lives on their start ups. If it fails, it fails.

are you suggesting that people should not do start-ups either? That the only way to live is to become a slave-worker until you're 65?

It is a gamble, like anything else in life. You're gambling that you won't get hit and killed by a car when you're going to work everyday. To say that you shouldn't work because there is a risk is just silly.

A person's risk tolerance depends on many things including but not limited to their wealth, their ability to earn income, their age, etc. Sometimes, because of a combination of factors, their risk tolerance can be greater than their net worth at that particular point in time. It's not such a difficult concept to understand, it just requires a shift in your thinking and getting out of this middle-class protect-my-wealth kind of mindset.

Well, you suppose in your bet that the future will be like the past, and that might be a costly mistake, if for example you are made unemployed, or your country of residence turns into the next Greece. You will then become enslaved by your debt to your lender.

Personally, I would rather not render my destiny into the hands of Fortune, although I know many would.
