No he took out leverage through bonds and loans and then filed bankruptcy. If you want to make a boatload of cash in a proof of debt system, you go into debt.

Of course, cryptocurrency isn't a proof of debt system. So maybe you are all right, and leverage isn't the best thing to do in this space.

But leverage is a good tool to make a boatload of money. Do you really think you can consistently win Monopoly by refusing to mortgage at an opportune time? I know that's a game, but how do you think Trump made much of his fortunes?

Edit: To all the other respondents above, want to get together for some quick games of Monopoly? I will demonstrate the power of leverage.   You all never mortgage no matter what, and I will. After a few games, we will see who comes out winning the most.  

People whose longs got liquidated. Especially if using Bitmex. You people are mean. Not everyone that sells at the bottom are bears. Some are bulls who went long at the wrong time. You should be sympathetic to your fallen Bulls. Especially those that got a little too exuberant and went long at 100x on Bitmex at the wrong time. You should weep for your fallen Bulls. Especially since the rise came soon after their liquidation.

Most cryptocurrencies use the IRC to find peers. It's probably a false positive. The bitcoin miner is standard in many of these clones of Bitcoin since they have a miner built into the wallet for the CPU. Not sure what the Suspicious_GEN.F47V1002 is about.
Although these are all probably false positives, it's probably prudent to play it safe. Learn to compile the code yourself under Ubuntu. Although there is still a risk, the likelihood that someone would include trojans that run under Linux is much lower than ones that run under Windows. (Also, the chance that someone would be brazen enough to intentionally display malware code on github, for all to examine, is much lower too. Which is why you compile from source. With a prepared binary, there is no telling exactly what code it was truly compiled from.)

But I wanted to buy back a little bit of my BTC satoshis at around 5100.  

See, a prime example of all the weak hands. Rather than view Bitcoin Cash as a gift, they treat it like they would a cheap whore.   Unfortunately, I still think there is probably still too much Bitcoin Cash in the hands of ingrates. Probably just a little bit longer until the accumulation phase can properly begin.

Yeah, kind of like how many people stick to the same hairdo they chose in High School.  

OMG, here comes the PC police.

Perhaps you need to go edit censor the above Wikipedia article, since anything this unpleasant is prejudicial and far from fact. Right?

I didn't realize that was a secret. Not very well kept. 

If you are bald and fat, you may be quite the hit. I heard in the past, the more a man resembles Buddha,the more attractive they are to the youngsters at Thailand. Could be wrong though since my source was my first boyfriend who was an old toll chicken hawk back in the late 80's/ early 90s. I probably could have done better, but I was the proverbial pencil neck geek. (Still am, just not a pencil anymore.)

I was under the impression that tourists of all nationalities treat Thailand as a sex shop.

Too bad there isn't an established protocol to use a Segwit address to sign messages, yet. I do have an address posted there, but it is an address that I have used in the past.

Wouldn't that include posting on this forum? After all, everything posted here is archived, and can eventually be tracked to the source with some effort. Best hole up in a retreat in Montana and fall completely off the grid. (or perhaps make your own floating country in the middle of the Ocean.)

The initial distribution of this coin went to people who supported Bitcoin Cash and also to those who did not support Bitcoin Cash. That's a lot of weak hands, dumping. Plus, it has attracted a strong contingent of "vulture miners" who only care about profit, and are willing to dump as soon as they can. If the supporters keep working on ways to improve upon the code and developing new use cases, it will work out.

Let me guess.. What really happened is that you shorted BTC near the all time high and are looking to increase you profit margins by just a little bit more in this dip; hoping someone here decides to take their BTC and buy some PMs. (Win Win situation for you, if that is true.)

Too much support from big players to totally die. Also, this is the first project by big blockers that actually got off of square one. Segwit2x may succeed, but many big blockers don't care much for the Segwit part. One certain big player, whose ASICBoost is not compatible with Segwit, comes to mind.
Furthermore, you must remember that the Bitcoin Cash market started out in the distribution phase. Of course you are going to see continued declines, as people who don't really care about Bitcoin Cash, liquidate it. Furthermore, the price point now is similar to what BTC had back in late 2014 and most of 2015. Did BTC die within a year after that?
At some point, Bitcoin Cash will probably go through an extended consolidation period. At this time, it will probably be accumulated by some smart buyers, since the price will be low.
I just pray that the development team sees the light and takes measures to somehow improve the retarget algorithm. If you look at the main attack of all of us trolls, it usually focuses on the EDA. (Or some consequence of it such as heavy reliance on 3 mining farms to keeps the chain flowing during unprofitable times, and deciding if and when to invoke another EDA.)  With how the EDA has played out so far, anyone can plainly see that it's far from optimal. However, if this project is truly worth anything, I'm confident the needed changes will come. I don't think the Bitcoin Cash development team are really going to just let the code stagnate. After all, it's code, not scripture.

EDA is like an airbag in need of a recall. I'm not suggesting "removing" the airbag. I'm suggesting fixing and replacing it. Call it my EDA repeal and replace plan.   Too bad that I don't know shit about coding. I'd be submitting my pull request to the Bitcoin Cash github right now with a Digishield upgrade.

I'm following Segwit coin like a religion? That's rich.  Have you checked out my posting statistics? A vast majority of my posts are in the Altcoin announcement section. I'm hardly a bitcoin maximalist.  I'm all for coming up with better ways to implement the blockchain technology. However, in the end, the EDA does not appear to be the philosophers stone that somehow turns the lead-like Segwit retarget strategy into a golden retarget strategy. It's more like turning lead into shit.
