I'm sure I'm not the first posting here to notice quite a few of the Casinos that advertise here have toys in their advertising (do Christmas themes such as snow-men count I wonder?)

IRL and some Casinos that advertise here stick to the tried and true Women with ample cleavage usually placing a poker chip down their blouse or holding an alcoholic beverage. Sex and drugs and rock and roll never go out of style in the right market. (better than a bag of lollies down a dark lane)

Every spin of the wheel with the exception of the last one has been fifty lottery tickets.

The last spin netted me fifty satoshis... (I think I preferred the lottery tickets)   

Welcome to the forum - hope you are able to stay for a while.

I was wondering what altcoins (if any) you are planning on introducing? And, whether or not you plan to add a Bitcoin Lightning Network component to your site? The fees are much lower and users can give you inbound/outbound capacity when they connect and make deposits.

Thanks for reading.

@TheGreatPython I think you've got the first part of what you just said back to front. Satoshi only ever mined Bitcoin and then sold some for very nominal / pepper-corn amounts to start the ball rolling as it were.

I think there's some intentional pushing up of the price as well as some FOMO (which is probably the intention of those doing the pushing).

Don't forget someone could just take their "for sale" coins off of the market and in the frenzy to buy, people think there's nothing left in the cupboard. Then, when their target price is achieved, they sell their bag for a tidy sum.

I can't recall just now what prompted me to put dragonvslinux on ignore, but when I read this thread I thought to myself "why am I not surprised"

I know one or two users have DT distrusted me on the sole basis I DT trust someone.  It's a murky swamp with a slippery totem pole in the middle you want to climb when you start giving retaliatory DT distrusts out simply because someone else trusts or distrusts someone.

A banned user can still log-in.

IIRC the Lauda account's sign-in has been disabled in much the same way as Satoshi and more recently the debacle with Bruno's main account (not the already banned one people seem to have forgotten about) which *should* have had sign-in disabled once Bruno fell silent and funeral notices started to appear.

Perhaps a tombstone icon and some sort of note placed on a UID if/when theymos disables sign-in on a user profile?

@JeromeTash have you tried refreshing your browser? Your signature looks to me to be totally different the user one post prior to yours (admittedly I'm not in this campaign so I'm not sure what your current signature is supposed to look like) but in saying that yours still has a snow man and the previous entry has credit card logos... BUT you both have the same snowman avatar.

From the first post, the OP has amassed BTC 0.011314 which is currently worth  $380 / € 310.46 according to this price converter: https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-units-converter.html

Not bad for an original € 240 / $ 293.76 outlay over four weeks.

Keep up the good work @eucalyptus

So...

Let me see if I've got this assertion by the OP straight in my head....  Satoshi sold Bitcoin when they were a dollar each to now be buying them back for $34,000 each?

Really?

Must have sold a few million to wait seven or eight years to then pump up the price instead of on the important things in life: Blow, beer and hookers.

At what price point is Satoshi going to resell? $1M? $2M? $10M ?? ??

 

At the moment every single day sees new all-time-highs for Bitcoin. The question is now how high can it go? And, will it be enough to drag up the price of major crypto alt coins riding on the coat tails of Bitcoin's success?

Interesting theory, however, you need to examine all halving events (not just the last one) before you can make assumptions concerning the apparent price in a little under four year's time.

Is it a linier climb? Have you factored in crashes? Exchange thefts flooding the market and pushing the price off of a cliff all need to be considered.

THE Rockefeller is reputed to have said just prior to the Stock Market Crash of 1929 that if your shoe shine person is giving you stock market tips, then that's the time to cash in before the crash occurrs.

A couple of investors shift some crypto from one wallet to another. No big deal, not really... Except for the fact the publicity helps drive the price up on speculation of hard-core investors sinking funds into crypto (even though there's no evidence new players have entered the game).

Definitely worth the TX fees handed out.

I've just paid a further nine months at Chainz: ( €80.10 ) https://paymium.com/invoice/35f3e995-ce8a-469f-80b3-c707787fba26

Does the United States coming out of a self imposed four year caretaker mode for its Presidency count as a memorable event, or the scam token bets for said Caretaker still in play *after* the results being declared?

Four hours after the transaction occurred and the price of Bitcoin is now sitting at $29,250 so if anything, it was probably done around midnight somewhere in the world to avoid detection on New Year's Eve. (And was probably an automated transaction too)

I haven't made any resolutions myself (with the exception of blocking the DT Trolls for all of 2021) however, I've been stockpiling *all* of the Bitcoins I've accumulated during the about nine months I've been in Signature Campaigns for use in creating Lightning Network Channels. So, like the fellow who recently gave up cigarettes and is putting away that money as crypto, I guess HODLing for a year or two is my XMAS-Crypto resolution.

Good luck to everyone applying to join the SigCamp. It's always great to have certainty about how long a campaign will run for, so kudos to @Hhampuz for providing this information (an initial eight week run).

Are their bonuses for posting extra?

There are numerous BTC 17.5 lots of coins that have been swept up in the transaction. Perhaps they were intended to be hot or semi hot/on standby wallets for one of the exchanges that have been hacked in the last few weeks and it's a hacker's shifting of funds that we can see?

Both altilly.com and livecoin.net exchanges have been hacked during the last one or two weeks.  Livecoin's website was hacked, recovered and hacked again while altilly seems to have been hacked, funds stolen, then the website puts a halt to trades.

I haven't heard of any other disasters befalling Forum members, but I'm sure they'll come to light soon enough.
