He could have had everything stolen, including PGP keys and all. I personally don't trust anything at this point. Satoshi would never come out and reveal that he is satoshi because he is too smart and knows that he gains nothing from doing so, so whoever comes out claiming it's satoshi it's an instant fake for me, no matter what proof he has to provide.

I think this claim is spot on: "Society’s understanding of where money comes from is the real challenge."

People don't care about the FED, or the fact that they are printing infinite fake money, they just want to pay for something, and get the goods or services delivered, everything else is just irrelevant. And that's the challenge, wake up the sheep into realizing Bitcoin is real money and fiat is bullshit.

It depends on the amount of competition to stay relevant in the mining game. If technology keeps getting developed, the sky is literally the limit. I think we will see in the future underground mining facilities in the middle of the sea at very cold temperatures, or in the artic, just crazy shit. And as technology becomes better, it will be more efficient and less polluting, so that wouldn't be a problem.

What you are describing is indeed a clear symphony of addiction, in fact it has a particular name called "revenge" where you want to take revenge against your odds. For example you are a trader and you are mad at you losing money, and you want to revenge against the market and stop doing stupid trades to get rid of that feeling of being a loser, same for good ol casino gambles.

Yeah most people will enjoy the increased privacy. With gambling you don't need anyone's permission, there are no restrictions to any country or nationality or age or anything, anyone can do whatever they want with their money, including gambling as much as you want. Finally some financial freedom will be possible. There is an huge market for Bitcoin that government issued currencies will never be able to fill.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking that I typed Bitcoin. I think I was going to type "Bitcoin goes defunct for the 100th" or something like that and ended up typing that lol.



Just another no name CEO that hasn't contributed to anything that would make Bitcoin better in any shape or form. Well I just ignore most CEOs these days, unless they are part time coders and share fundamental views for Bitcoin's well being such as privacy and decentralization.

Something as short as 8 character password, specially if combining a couple capslocks on/off characters, couple numbers, and one or 2 special characters like a dot or a slash or something, it's damn hard to crack, in fact I think it's considered practically impossible.

I would never personally trust services that claim they can recover your money, chances are it will end up in some scam where they steal your money if they are even able to get it back. Call me paranoid.

Amazing. I was looking forward to this moment. On this webpage for those that don't still know, they make a compilation of news that are about how Bitcoins dead, how Bitcoin is doomed, how it is a failed experiment... in general, how Bitcoin is done for. And guess what: We are celebrating death number 100!

And of course, it had to be yet another smartass CEO !


Those idiots will never learn I guess.

So how are we celebrating 100th anniversary?

Still using Bitcoin Core since its the software wallet that makes me feel more comfortable. For long term storage as in cold offline storage, I might invest in a Trezor, I think it's a good idea but I still need to study how it works to see if it meets all of my needs.

We are already had the news on this australian man being satoshi a couple of months ago, and Greg Maxwell quickly proved that this was bullshit in reddit with some proof, so I wonder what he has to say now about it again. I think this guy is just desperate for attention. If he was satoshi he just had to move the coins and that's all.

I predict an insane amount of gambling happening in the next 2 to 3 years once Lightning Network is 100% operative and delivering instant and free worldwide payments all over the planet. Anyone not dealing with their casino in Bitcoin is going to be rendered an idiot in the future, I mean it just can't be beaten, specially once government removes physical cash coins and dolla bills.

Poor Athletico de Madrid got robbed the other day. Most pathetic referee I've ever seen. I can't believe that Suarez nutjob hasn't been sent back to his country so he can bite and punch people around. Poor nino Torres got kicked out while Suarez was allowed to do anything. Athletico deserved to win the other day, what a scam.

WU is shit. Once Bitcoin devs deploy the Lightning Network and people start making instant, worldwide, cheap transactions only the same morons that still used horses back in the day instead of cars, will be using WU and other objectively inferior forms of money and transfer.
Bitcoin has already won the war, it's a simple matter of time now.

Once we are near 4 figures again this time it will not stop at $1000 at all... there may be a $1000 correction because $1000 is always a strong psychological barrier, but then it will quickly correct and as soon as it starts correcting people that have fear of missing out will follow and we can easily see $2000 to $4000.

I checked it out briefly the other day, and there wasn't much stuff to buy yet. It will take a couple of months until we see a decent amount of stuff being sold. As soon as people see the benefits of using this over other methods it will just keep growing itself due snowball effect. I m going to wait a while before using it myself.

There are kids making a ton of money in Youtube with their gaming videos, some do unboxing, some do other things, but definitely there are tons of kids in youtube that are youtube stars making more money than their parents do with their regular jobs.
Of course it's probably all managed by parents financially since they can't have their own money... here is where Bitcoin can be big, because Bitcoin doesn't care about age, you can manage your own money.
Maybe in the future all those kids making a lot of money in ad revenue playing Minecraft can get paid directly in Bitcoin who knows.

All these people are clueless with their little analogies. It's like when people delude themselves into thinking Bitcoin "is just Myspace, we just have to wait and we'll get to buy cheap Facebook shares". I mean the level of stupidity surrounding Bitcoin is amazing. So many people hoping for a Bitcoin 2.0 because they can't accept Bitcoin already won, and instead of buying while it's still cheap, they are too greedy and just want to keep hoping for a new crypto that will replace it.
I guess not everyone can win.

Moondollars was great. The upside down b i t c o i n word is giving me an headache tho. I think im just going to spend my break at work browsing the web and not posting today, I just can't deal with this tho, my mind is trying constantly to guess what the correct words are and wondering if what im reading is the original post or some of the stuff got replaced by some other easter egg words.

Never had a problem with the speed of transactions using Bitcoin Core and even from an exchange or from a casino back to core it's still pretty fast considering you are getting the most secure transfer on earth and in a decentralized network.
You will have to deal with it until we have Lightning Network if you want super fast + cheap transactions.

This will only get worse. Anyone expecting any sort of privacy beyond their local Bitcoin wallet is delusional, your privacy ends as soon as your Bitcoins enter a website that doesn't let you to use a VPN/TOR and that asks for your details, but that's what you get if you want total mainstream adoption I guess. You can always bypass it if you really want to tho.
