This slow rise is sooo smooth and satisfying... Seems we've entered a stage where the price rise is not rapid, but slow and organic (whatever that means). Kind of like a tank that slowly marches on conquered land...

5-digit territory in sight, locked, cocked and ready to rock.

Go Bitcoin go!

You are a smart guy.  You have designed hardware storage controllers.  How on earth do you not see the amazing bullshit happening right before your eyes???

Jbreher is not a hardware storage disigner that was a blatant lie ...lol.

Even if he is, it doesn't mean anything. OTOH, being associated with, or supporting the work endorsed by Wright, Ver, Wu and Ayre can tell a lot about a person's motives, morals, and overall attitude towards Bitcoin and what it stands for.

OK, Mr/Ms high-and-mighty. Are you absolutely sure that each and every thing that you support is endorsed by exactly zero characters of ill repute?

(Well, you said "Wright, Ver, Wu and Ayre". Accordingly, feel free to substitute 'less than four' for 'exactly zero' above)

Well, I guess that some of the things one supports could be endorsed by characters of ill repute. After all, many things happen in the background, that we are not aware of. What matters is how we react when we become aware of such characters, and their level of involvement and influence in the things we support.

In the case of BCH and BSV, the evidence of this happening is overwhelming, and those figures I mentioned are at central stage. Frankly, having followed your posts in this thread, I find it difficult to believe that you can remotely agree with (or not at least criticize) the behaviour, actions, and attitude of those people.

I see that some seemingly intelligent people here support Craig S. Wright... Directly or indirectly. I wonder why. It defies belief how anyone in their right mind cannot see the fraud that he is and the damage to Bitcoin he and his friends are causing...

nutildah's post above shows just a few of the evidence against him. And yet, there are people that support him and his shitcoins. Human stubbornness and/or stupidity is infinite, it seems...

OTOH, maybe this is good, as it has shown (and will continue to show) the robustness and strength of BTC, and how it can resist attacks and come out stronger than ever.

Bring it on...!

Tokyo-Japan would do just great, in honor of the great Satoshi Nakamoto imo.

I second that!

I wonder how all those dopes who sold at $3xxx feel now? I mean, how dumb do you have to be to see the preceding pattern and still sell at an 80% discount to the ATH?

Last year I introduced Bitcoin to a couple of frends of mine. They bought at $5~6k and sold it all at $3k because, "it's not going anywhere mate"...

People tend to expect an easy gain, and freak out when it drops below what they paid to buy. They neither understand the underlying mechanism, nor do they have the patience to HoDL. They just want a quick profit, and that's exactly why they are the losers of the game.

HoDL!

Hahahahahahaha

Sounds a bit typical, and seems that it is fair for us, here, to make fun of those kinds of folks who are so short-sighted, little ability to remain patient and too willing to buy into the mainstream FUD that bitcoin is either dead or "not going anywhere" as you quoted them to be saying.  Dumb fucks.

I had an in-law that did a very similar thing and made some similar comments to me.

In early 2018, I bought something from him, and I suggested that I would pay him by bitcoin.  The item was a bit over a $100, and the then BTC price was then a bit more than $7k.

I told him that it was likely that he was in a good position, as long as he would be willing to HODL the bitcoin for a few years.  When bitcoin hit $8k, I asked him how those bitcoins were doing, and he went on some kind of rampage that he would have had to sell them at $8k in order to make a profit (which was stupid-ass far from the truth), and that he sold them in late 2018, and bitcoin was his only "loss" for the year.  He said that it was a good thing that he had some losses to off-set his other gains, blah blah blah. 

Anyhow, there is only so far that you can go with those lacking insight and patience, at least in regards to giving any kind of benefit of the doubt to bitcoin - even as a kind of non-correlated hedge... It just might not sink-in, especially if they are already decently established in other mainstream investments and their investment advisors (and peers) are telling them how much bitcoin sucks (of course, investment advisors cannot make fees off of the vast majority of the bitcoin products, especially the buying directly approach to bitcoin).

I've found that most people tend to be very suspicious and reluctant to embrace something as revolutionary and groundbreaking as Bitcoin. It's like a bright light that blinds them -- they just can't comprehend it. Almost everyone's first reaction is that "it's a scam, you're going to lose it all". Those few that care to investigate further come back and say "it's used for drugs, don't touch it". HA! As if fiat has never been used for drugs and other illegal activities...

The more I insist and urge them to invest, the more reluctant they become. I guess it's a natural reaction in a way... "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is" kind of thing. Setting up wallets and sending some $ worth of BTC to them can help. I once set up a wallet and sent $1 worth of BTC to one of my students. A few months later she had $13 in her wallet. She's now a member of Kraken and has accumulated a decent amount of coins (single digits, but still good enough).

Of my relatives, only one has embraced and invested in crypto. Interestingly, he is the least educated of them all (but is very open-minded). Most of the university-educated guys in my circle still consider Bitcoin a scam/Ponzi...

We are going to be filthy rich, gentlemen.

I like your optimism, my fellow Liverpudlian!

It will happen. And we'll all meet at the $100k party.

And screw opsec -- we'll employ bodyguards for that...

Something that I did not know before: apparently, Laslo Hanyecz (the man who bought pizza for 10000 btc in 2010) is ALSO the man behind the first GPU-mining algorithm (in May 2010), which he released in the open (instead of mining with GPU for himself first). I wasn't around then, so I don't know how much each GPU was outperforming CPUs (maybe 10-fold), but with GPU, you can run them in parallel, so people run 6-8 GPUs on one CPU, greatly increasing computation. Man had mined at least 100K BTC.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/the-man-behind-bitcoin-pizza-day-is-more-than-a-meme-hes-a-mining-pioneer/

I wasn't aware of that, either... There's a term for mocking someone that was involved in Bitcoin early on, but never became rich out of it: bitshaming.

I do believe these guys have received generous donations in BTC from several lucky whales who became aware of their stories. IIRC, Andreas Antonopoulos has received donations of more than 100 BTC.

And rightly so. We all owe these guys. These are the pioneers that pushed the Bitcoin movement to the masses, while often ending up poor (or not as rich as they could have been). If I was a whale I would surely send some coins to them.

... he sourced and shipped me a number of euro spec thermostats ... I think it was 6 BTC for the parts.

Those have got to be the most expensive thermostats you've ever bought...

Like my TREZOR, which I bought for 0.13 BTC...

Lesson learned: spend fiat first, and BTC only when you absolutely have to.

Cheers gentlemen!





Happy birthday man!

Good times are coming and soon we'll all have some nice presents to play with...

Was someone able to break TrueCrypt? It was discontinued in 2014 but it is used to this day. It is said that not even the NSA can decrypt it.

I still use it. Daily. IMHO, it's the best encryption s/w available. Free and open-source. I don't believe there is a way to decrypt it, other than brute-forcing it (which means having to wait for millennia -- if the passphrase is strong enough).

Good luck to Craig Wright and his pedo friend Calvin Ayre...

Win-win situation, I love it! I tried to do the same with a little part of my holdings (about 5%) yesterday, which is totally stuck in Binance for now. Sold at $7400 and thought the same thing, "if bitcoin goes down, I'll buy back from this USDC bag, if it doesn't go down, I still win with my remaining holdings". But then I bought back the BTC (FOMO'ed at the dump) at $6800 as I liked the little 0.03 BTC profit off that Binance bag.

Based on what you've just posted, your holdings must be around 6.8 BTC. Not a small amount, well done!

Keep HoDLing!

[...I just love playing with numbers...]

this roach guy must be the saddest person on this forum seriously.
he must have sold at 500$ or even lower to accumulate more but couldnt get in again.
i wonder how he was feelin when it hit 20k.or yet how he will feel when it hits 40k. (which is inevitable)

really feelin sorry for him.there r hundreds of thousands like him;just waitng to get in if bitcoin ever hits 1k Smiley
the saddest part is they will wait for 500$ even if hits 1k Smiley means they can never get in.

The saddest part is, he could have simply used BTC to buy gold or silver if he wanted to. If he had taken advantage of the 2016-17 pumps, he would have ended up with so much gold/silver! That's the reason I suspect there must be a problem in the wiring of his brain... It's not sadness, it's stupidity...
I think it's actually a huge joke on us. The Roach isn't who we think he is.

This may well be very true...

He may be sitting on a few thousand BTC and having fun on all of us!
