Well, a couple of those "because we don't want to waste money on expensive cars".

Keep 'em in a brain wallet, not in a will. Then you are the man in the house! If it's ok with her  Oh I'm the man in the house. It just doesn't mean shit anymore. |

My eventual point, if it isn't clear, is that the price is low. If you want to cost average a lower price then buy more. But if you already understand the current price does not reflect the future price, then you have lost nothing. (unless you sell BTC for fiat the, value has not changed)
I'm sorry for lashing out, let me just put it this way: I WANT THE FUTURE TODAY!!! I WANNA BUY A BOAT!!!! I am aware that this discussion is clearly off-topic now, sorry readers. --- I was until very recently very attached to the price and the loss of opportunity in selling the last of my portfolio in December 2013. And yes, I have felt the loss of ~90% of my portfolio value since then. But then I discovered the true use of this commodity, until we break the cycle of using the $, €, ¥, or £ as a measurement of success we will continue to not look past the brilliance and the reason for the supply to be limited and the transaction fees to be the most important aspect of the design. The BTC can be used over and over again from your wallet address to another of your wallet addresses, your cost of transfer is what allows for information to be stored in the blockchain (this is why you paid for BTC to make data plots on the blockchain). I'm married. My measure of success is in fiat. Lots of it.  Like this? Well, a couple of those "because we don't want to waste money on expensive cars".  Fork this, Gavin!
Shit, you must be hodling moar coinz than me!  Doubt it, but Adam said 32k. |

You are losing money everyday if you are holding fiat. Price of bitcoin remains constant ( 1BTC = 1BTC) only its relation to the inflationary fiat changes.
Not just in relation to 'inflationary fiat' but also in relation to goods & services. There's more inflation in Bitcoin right now. The price dropped by $10 since the beginning of this conference. There we are again with the price. It my understanding that the " price" that we established currently is far undervalued if more of the public understood what the blockchain represents. The BTC reward is used to secure the chain of transactions; what are in those transactions is by far the most under utilized feature of this "payment system." Edit: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths#Bitcoins_have_no_intrinsic_value_.28unlike_some_other_things.29Thanks keewee. You're welcome to hum for yourself about how "the price in fiat doesn't matter" whenever it drops, but you can't expect the rest of us to join in on the tune. My magic internet tokens have ball ache.

I think that my various responses had the right tone. I have been reading his posts for at least a year and a half. There is NO personal attack contained within my responses... a little colorful language and to suggest that someone is simplifying and misleading is NOT a personal attack, it is an attack on his generally disingenuous presentation and he should know better regarding a variety of his points, that he is full of shit... and that is NOT a personal attack..  Or complexifying and misleading, in any event, he's doing it for the lulz. |

Not as effective without jumping ponies. But the subtle lack of suprise porn is nice. I'd say this thread is finally SFW again. FWIW Edit: I guess I asked for it. Somehow..  newbies cant post pic anymore but that wont stop them him! If you want SFW you might wanna put meyer lansky on ignore. He/she/it is about to turn into a beautiful butterfly. Yeah; my thoughts exactly. Still; I find his personality amusing, so I'll just let him be for the time being...  what are you and fatman insinuating? It was 9/11. We were jumpy. |

Why so much agro and upset about Jorge's posts? He's not threatening you (or perhaps he is somehow?). He has a view and he expresses and articulates that view pretty well. I don't agree with much of what he says either but I appreciate that his posts are coherent, quite well written and free from personal attacks or vitriol. In fact, he's very gracious in his responses to many of you that get all so incensed that he's expressing the views that he is; and this is indicative that some of what he's saying has seriously hooked your innards and is tearing at you in some manner. That you're responding in such an affronted way says to me you're not 100% sure and his line of thought on this stuff causes internal conflict.
If you don't agree with his take on Bitcoin (and crypto in general), just point out calmly and unemotionally where his logic, assumptions or beliefs are flawed. I think it's very good to have someone like him putting the ideas up he does as it makes for interesting consideration of his views versus alternatives.
Isn't this what a thread like this is about?
Your gracious friend has been trolling this forum for years now. I agree that there is no need to get all fired up about it, but to "point out calmly and unemotionally where his logic, assumptions or beliefs are flawed" is even more of a waste. |

"Hoarders" is just a disparaging term for savers. Any economy needs savings for capital formation.
"Saver" i a very general term. In the context of this discussion a "hoarder" is one who saves by colelcting a currency. Not meant to be disparaging -- although that is usually not a wise way to save. You have been with us since 2013, nobody calls you up for interviews, nobody really cares what you have to say...so just admit that your attempt for some fame has failed yet again. Let us be! WE NEED NO STINKING COMPUTER SCIENTIST HERE!!!!!!!! Yeah! Who needs science when we have divine invisible magic coins!?!!?!! |

IF we will reach to %75 XT nodes the fork will occur ...... Is there any solution for avoid the fork ? or Bitcoin project will fail ?
We'll all switch to monopoly money. You'll be rich!!! |

Great fun to see Peter Todd make a fool out of himself during the scaling conference today.
Don't make a fool out of yourself! Peter is a brilliant mind. Doesn't mean he can't have a bad set. |

Sounds like we have pretty much followed the same strategy. I am slightly in green now, I guess you are slightly in red at the moment. But that doesn't matter. I would rather have 10 BTC in the red, than 1 in the green. We have seen the future
And we have bought a piece of it
This is gentlemen!
(Ehrm... Not right now, but later)   SOONTM |

IMHO, your example fails to represent a meaningful and robust argument.
I found it rather cromulent Bitcoins are not getting old, nor they fall after not taking after them after 60y. ...
~10% of BTC market cap is spent yearly to maintain Bitcoin (mining). Talk about high maintenance  You out-fact-troll stolfi in a single sentence!!! You embiggen us all!!! |

PS: I like your trolling. I like to do it myself sometimes  macsga is lambie BURN THE TROLL!!! |

The avalanche of troll bears makes me uncomfortable being a real bear, wtf is happening? Seems like this is Chopsy's reply to not being allowed to post (porn) pics any more from new accounts ... spam the forum with dumb new threads. Very sad ... Easy solution ... new members can neither post images nor start topics Please implement this as soon as possible  It took him long enough. Weird that he didn't realize earlier that this is the official "Lambie Zoo". Mods let him play around here so he'll keep away from the rest of the forum. |
