Its all over. Time for plan B.

This is because I posted all those train pics.

Its a genuine concern for miners and people who use a wallet which downloads the full blockchain instead of electrum etc. This is because there is that 1 actual pic on the blockchain (not the links). These people will now have a picture of child porn on their hard drive. Possession of a copy of a child porn is always illegal no matter what. It is one of the few laws where possession establishes the entire crime and not intent. For instance if a child you dont even know randomly sends you a nude pic you are automatically guilty.

So youre postulating that a certain amount of people who would originally be interested in mining, are going to instead buy bitcoins? Also, they're going to buy into the downtrend and not wait for it to reverse? Even if this is true, is the amount of money coming in from these would-be miners significant enough to hold up the price? Will it outweigh millions of coins being dumped? Is it even any kind of significant number?

Who is the one not allowing btc to fall and how are they doing it?

Why not? Whats stopping it? Weve seen it before. Actually mining is disrupting itself every day by releasing faster and faster ASICs.

With ETH about to go to $30, why would anyone want to buy it?

DOOOOOM

Believe it or not there are everyday hardworking people who dont want to have to go through the gruelling stress of following markets and doing research and using exchange systems and they just want to hire someone else to manage their money for a modest return.

Regulation will start out good but then slowly invasive old-world concepts will sneak in until you find yourself required to hold your coins on coinbase or give the gov a copy of your private key or else youre a felon.

Do you mean the old ATH of $1250?

They could also fork or split the thread and send all the old posts to an archive leading us to start over from a worthless thread with 1 page. Poloniex should open up leverage shorting immediately.

Pages are artificially scarce. Even if the users run out of posts they are willing to dump, a mod could jump and just start deleting posts himself.
