Would be quite strange if Bitcoin were to go shooting up, while the rest of the world burns,

Yeah... I dunno about that. All that newly-printed money has to go somewhere.

I mean, sure. All those pinstriped-bandit insiders that get the sweetheart deal financiializing everyone else's misery don't currently have a hard-on for Bitcoin. But when they see P/E ratios trending towards infinity? They'll be looking around for somewhere else to park their stolen riches. Bitcoin is as good as it gets from an honest analysis.

BSV is not a fork of BTC.

The funny thing is that you are not even wrong about that. BTC is a fork of Bitcoin.

One could argue that BSV is a fork of Bitcoin as well. However, it is the only such that has forked itself back into near compliance with the original definition (i.e. the definitive definition) of the Bitcoin protocol.

3 trillion here, 3 trillion there

pretty soon...something something


profit?
Kind of interesting actually. At a certain point there simply are no consequences for the worst behavior. Almost as if you had a rich daddy giving you everything.



There used to be a saying round these parts. You didn't make a loss if you didn't sell. (bit like 1btc=1btc)

The same kind of applies for all this ridiculous debt. If you are never going to repay it is it really a debt?

1.  The Fed buys the debt.

2. The Federal government makes debt payments to the Fed.

3. The Fed pays the government a special dividend of income from the debt payments.

4. Federal government income goes up, allowing debt to be repaid faster.

5.  Everyone wins

5b. Except everyone that owned assets prior to the debt being issued. The purchasing power of the newly issued debt subtracts steals from the purchasing power of the assets extant prior to issuance of the new debt.

Should I FOMO in and buy bitcoins ? 

Never FOMO. OTOH, ABB (Always Be Buying).

it feels it could get up to 10K$ and find a new higher equilibrium with all the money printing and risks of lost value in both USD and EUR.

You're missing a zero there. And perhaps an additional single-figure multiplier.

jbreher still believes

More realistic

Than to believe dark features, anti industry, LN and high fees will fix global adoption

 Cheesy

Or to believe swallowing Craig Wright will get you anywhere

That's pretty fuckin' juvenile, Globb0 - I'm disappointed in you.

To be honest, I was introduced to the internet in the late 80s and I still don't fully understand what a hashtag is supposed to mean. I guess it means actually keyword as explained by Toxic2040, but it strikes me as blatant abuse of the hash char for marketing purposes and to hide the fact that social media is totally unorganised and totally unsuitable for actual information retrieval.

It is a loose social consensus for some sort of delimiter to attach to a word in order to turn that word into a sort of 1:n index. The consensus upon a character for this purpose (# in this case) allows the creation of stupid-simple SW to crawl unstructured data of any form from any source, and build a list of potential indices to interesting data.

It's just a tool, forchrissakes.

# is a number's sign


that too, this character already had not one, but TWO existing uses, like we needed more confusion

choose another ASCII character kids

A comment delimiter in script and assembly?

#hashtag


all the things

Is this alt coin still alive Huh

It still exist but mostly as a faillure

Haha. A failure worth four and a half billion dollars.

Yup.

this ain't over yet


You know what we're missing, though? One of Bawb's reposts of the R3KT Shorts resulting from the rally.

Always brightens my day.

I have mixed feelings in regards to these ideas about toxic maximalists, and personally, I tend to be more inclined with the stay humble and stack sats approach


Haha. JJG made a funny.

XD

This is a picture of Lazlo ordering a couple pizzas via the lightning network.

Aside of bitcoin, Imagine the number of times he has ben called on to tell the story. Interviews areticles. I bet he did alright even only from that.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, media mentions are rarely accompanied by any renumeration.
333  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 29, 2020, 06:21:09 PM
is it the new scam?

You have received 0.00056197 BTC from Circle
You have received 0.00069818 BTC from Circle

They look legit in source and links, but while I may have made an account there years back I surely never deposited that I can recall.
For a real scam you would have to use much bigger numbers, especially if 99% of the world populating thinks 1 BTC would not be enough to buy an ice-cream.

Unless the very same email provided a handy link to login to your account, vectored to a lookalike website.

Mindrust is just an unfortunate misguided chump who panic sold.

Maybe.
It looks like that, but just maybe.

Yeah... right...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

You should know better than that, Cryptotourist.

Devoid of context, my statement looks like an attack on mindrust. It was not meant to be such (much as I dislike the dude/dudette for being an inveterate douche).

I was reacting to the comparison equating Laszlo with mindrust. Even had he never bought the infamous Bitcoin pizzas, Laszlo's place in the Bitcoin pantheon was assured. Outside of the WO Bro Hood, who is mindrust?

How many creepy Uncles can one poor thread take?

I dunno. Who's next? Uncle Kracker? Uncle Remus? We look pretty sharp in these clothes.




We'll be knockin the jockeys off rich people's lawns.

8K. today we will have battle Cool

8K? Next stop - there's a 200 BTC sell wall @ Vegeta on Coinbase Pro. With about $30 to go to break it.
337  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 29, 2020, 07:38:13 AM
I'll say it again: poor Mindrust. One day he'll become popular like that bitcoin pizza guy by showing up on TV and telling his story of how he sold the bottom at ~$3800?

Huh

True, Laszlo's pizza is significant in the history of Bitcoin - but that is a random thing. As opposed to him being the very same guy who coded up the first (known) GPU miner. Which of course is a much more significant accomplishment.

Mindrust is just an unfortunate misguided chump who panic sold.

I created a private key and deliberately deleted the first character.

I will have to wait until quantum computing reaches the insane amount of calculations it would require to figure out what my private key is. I hope I am still alive by then.

I mist be misunderstanding you. AFAICT, depending on character set (e.g. base58), as long as you have the rest of the key, you'll have your funds in no more than 58 tries. Actually, given the embedded ECC, you can probably get it on the first try.

Aaaah. _first_ character. You was trollin'

Sounds reasonable. When you make a mistake, you make up for it. They caused us, the entire rest of the world, financial losses. Their mistake, theirs to fix.

The issue is not even with their inability to pay. It's that they won't even try, won't even admit they did anything wrong. They are blaming everyone other than themselves.

They are a negative influence on the entire human species. There is nothing good about them. If they will not at least make up for their mistakes, or deliberate attacks as the case may be, then it does not benefit us to allow them to live.

Who -- exactly -- is the they to which you refer? Do you put forth the notion that over a billion people are individually culpable, and each and every man, woman, and child must be eradicated to avenge your outrage?
