Sometimes I want to kill myself. Its so unfortunate that I never heard about bitcoin back then. It's something I would of been all over because I always knew the central banking system is a complete scam. Its just unlucky I never heard it or came across it. I'm in deep financial trouble now and about to be homeless.
I don't mean to pile on in face of your financial woes. But you seem to be mired in self-defeatism. You are not unfortunate for not learning of Bitcoin before now. You are instead fortunate for learning of Bitcoin before next year. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. I know many who took a pass in 2010, in 2011, in 2012,... There's a lesson in there somewhere. |

You seem to have stopped reading that thread before more info was brought to light. See e.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175996.msg1834763#msg1834763 et supra. More germane, long ago there was a blog post -- later updated -- that charted the extra nonce value against block number for the first couple years of Bitcoin's existence. The evidence based upon monotonically increasing extra nonce, with roughly the same derivative (d-nonce/d-height) is quite compelling that a single entity mined over 960K (or was it 980K?) Bitcoins in that period, and that the same entity mined the first few blocks. That blog might have been written by Lerner, maybe by Sirer (...damn three-named peoples...), or maybe someone else. Memory cloudy. If there is significant counter argument, I'd appreciate a link. |

I still think bitcoin is a scam because it wasn't a fair launch
orly? Publicly announced before mining commenced. On the most widely accepted forum for discussion on digital cash approaches. How much fairer could it get? And how would that have been accomplished? Other than that major foot-in-mouth, welcome to the fray. |

No. Tracing its heritage to the Satoshi Genesis Block, Bitcoin Cash is the oldest cryptocurrency. A title it shares with Bitcoin Segwit.
Coinmarketcap, a hundred other coin websites, everybody sane and all of reality disagrees with you. Coinmarketcap states that Bitcoin Cash is not the oldest cryptocurrency? News to me. How about a link to support your assertion? Here you go: Bcash, opened for trading on major exchanges on July 24, 2017. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/Evidently, at least one two of us here does not realize there is a difference between a ticker symbol and a coin with an underlying blockchain. And it ain't me. IOW: nice try. You wanna take another shot? edit: presduterte |

Anyone know approx when Bitcoin Cash might finally get added to Gemini Exchange? It seems they allowed withdraws about a year ago when it first forked off. But I read on their twitter recently that they received approval and will allow the trading of BCH on their platform, however they never stated any dates.
Was there anything posted since that update and any general time-line when it might get added for trading. Seems Litecoin just went live a few hours ago, so now they might start working on BCH.
They recently said that the mid-Nov fork is giving them the willies. Especially in light of not all potential forks implementing replay protection. They're waiting for the fallout churn to subside before making any move. |

Let’s also not forget BCH ranks 4th on CMC.
Yes. And is 5+ years younger than all those ahead.

Best quote from article: Two of Elemental’s biggest early clients were the Mormon church, which used the technology to beam sermons to congregations around the world, and the adult film industry, which did not. |

Was Satoshi's vision flawed? Is the chain of blocks coming to an end?

Personally, I really like the name "Byteball". Changing the name does not help make the price high. Everyone was laughing at Dogcoin too))
Yes, but Dogecoin has an image built around an iconic mascot that is universally viewed as cute and cuddly. 'Bite My Balls' does not conjure up a similarly endearing image. |

On chain scaling has been proved to be impossible. ^

I have. I found it pretty lame. Then again, it does mention Bitcoin in a positive light. whatevs |

So the answer, for now... is to do the best you can with the information you have. Which... BTC price just dropped. Anyone up for buying some more?
Just did. |

All right ... who was it that was complaining about sideways?

https://blockstream.com/2018/10/10/liquid-launch.htmlWe are excited to announce that the Liquid Network is now live. As the world’s first production Bitcoin sidechain, the Liquid Network provides fast, secure, and confidential transactions to address the needs of exchanges, brokers, market makers, and financial institutions around the world.
The Liquid blockchain went live with the first block generated on September 27, 2018 at 1:29 UTC. 23 of the cryptocurrency industry’s biggest players participated in the launch as Liquid members, including Altonomy, Atlantic Financial, Bitbank, Bitfinex, Bitmax, BitMEX, Bitso, BTCBOX, BTSE, Buull Exchange, DGroup, Coinone, Crypto Garage, GOPAX (operated by Streami), Korbit, L2B Global, OKCoin, The Rock Trading, SIX Digital Exchange, Unocoin, Xapo, XBTO, and Zaif. Together, these members comprise the Liquid Network, ensuring users’ assets are protected through a geographically diverse network with no single point of failure. Bait and switch. Liquid does not implement sidechains, as originally envisioned (as a permissionless, uncensorable, two-way peg). |

Original Joe's is a steakhouse that originated in San Jose, California, and they serve steak with fries as an option.
There's still an Original Joe's right off the Plaza de Cesar Chavez - in the heart of the downtown area. I can't say that I know it is the original Original Joe's, tho. I'd guess it's a good chance. Hell, you can find one right inside the terminal before you leave the airport - but that ain't likely to be the original Original Joe's, neither. |

whoa !!!! french fries with steak  ?? you do not see that combination in north america (well maybe Canada). Makes me want to go to a steak restaurant and ask for fries with my steak and see what reaction I get... You'll probably get a raised eyebrow. But that's because... u r doing it rong. When you wants fries with your steak, you asks for 'pommes frites'. It's all in the phraseology. Canada was the first place I experienced french fries with chili and cheese poured on top of them. I think they called them chili fries.
That's fairly close to a poutine. You can get chili fries anywheres. |

OT : Jim Cramer slipping up and showing his hand again, showing us the underlying corruption that is Wall Street: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/04/cramer-reveals-the-10-telltale-signs-that-could-prolong-the-sell-off.html"There's a very common trajectory when the market's going down. First, the analysts will try to keep recommending stocks and they're going to be completely ignored," the "Mad Money" host said.
"When they raise their price targets or even upgrade from 'hold' to 'buy' and no one listens, they're going to switch directions and they're going to start downgrading," he continued. "When those downgrades stop sending stocks lower, then you'll know a bottom is at hand. But we're not there yet."
Oh, so what you're saying Jim is that the analysts upgrade from 'hold' to 'buy' merely to get Average Joes to be the final bagholders on the way down? (Not because the stock is actually undervalued?) And when that corrupt tactic doesn't work, then they reverse to 'sell' to cover their asses (and start shorting)? Un-fucking-believable.  Can't believe that he can even say this with a straight face. I dunno. Sounds to me like he is saying that the analysts -- as a class -- are clueless, and are following the herd, rather than leading. |
