NO. You will only have 2 figures in your btc account 5 and 7, because you will absolutely not want to trade your bitcoin for fiat (or have a bank acct.) when they are worth 6 figures in fiat.

bullish

the pace of development is just insane now. These kinds of things you think to yourself "someday somebody might figure out how to do blinded transactions routing for instant payment using channels" ... and then bang!, there it is spelled out and being implemented.

TOR-like Lightning transactions, fungible, private, instant and increasing network capacity thousand-fold. I'd say, yes, bullish.

This shit is fucking unacceptable.

you can spout your propaganda as much as you like but at the end of the day the Bitcoin Core developers are writing node software for the 5000+ people running node software .... not for anyone else, by definition.

Anyone else who feels like they are part of the "bitcoin community" by running bitcoinJ on their phones or web wallet with Coinbase should talk to their software providers if they want to have anything changed (fee market handling and speedy confirmations are features that come to mind). "Bitcoin community governance" is a made-up myth, you are either running a node and you have node resource concerns, so will run the software most appropriate to solve those, or you are essentially an onlooker, maybe even wearing a beer-can cap, but still a bystander.
Denying the very existence of Bitcoin governance is not helping your case. After all there are decisions that need to be made, and there are differing opinions on what path to take. It is the question of who decides? I suppose you would argue that Core should decide for us, or that somehow they decide yet that is not a form of governance? Everything is political, whether you like it or not. As Socrates once wisely stated, human beings are political animals.

This thread refuses to die in the same way that BIP101 refuses to die. Smiley

BIP101 is dead. It is only your perverted necromancy that seems determined to parade and dance with the corpse.

There is no governance except in your demented mind. Nodes run whatever software they like and that decision will be decidedly apolitical.

Take your politics back to Washington, they have no power and are not welcomed here.

I prefer their understanding of free market economics and Bitcoin governance specifically.

"bitcoin governance" is a myth concept that has been generated by the MIT media lab as a divisive issue. The term was not in circulation until Brian Forde began pumping the "bitcoin governance" propaganda soon after taking up his role after leaving the Obama Whitehouse.

... go figure, government guys want to "govern". Github or go home.

3214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have Mike Hearn joined the wrong side of the force? on: December 14, 2015, 01:50:11 AM
One of the first users of Bitcoin? LOL 

He was never around before December 2010. As an example, sirius started using Bitcoin in November 2009,
Theymos started using Bitcoin in February 2010, knightmb, mizerydearia, Syke and MoonShadow were using Bitcoin from July 2010 and there's about 100 people that were working on Bitcoin when he showed up. He was relatively late to the party. The fool makes it sound like he invented Bitcoin. ROFL

I agree, this description of Hearn's has other misdirections and falsehoods.

The pioneers of smart contracts were obviously Nick Szabo, for theoretical basis, and the first working prototype smart contracts platform was fellowtraveller's Open-Transactions and then Ethereum ... Lighthouse was definitely after these, and is too limited to be referred to as a "smart contracts pioneer".

If you truly care about fear mongering you should really have an issue with Hearns "crash landing" FUD.

... ironic that Hearn himself spectacularly crash-landed out of the project .... right into the banker's R3 talk-shop for has-beens.
3216  Economy / Speculation / Re: New hype cycle starts at $1000. Everything before that is just a warm-up. on: December 14, 2015, 01:15:08 AM
BTC has the bad habit of always leaving behind their old ATH by at least 1 order of magnitude.

This is indeed just a warm-up

They also said bit coin never goes below it's old all time high. That didn't work out so well for anyone banking on it. Going above 1000 and settling there is a big task. It's gonna take a while.

in terms of market cap value, it has never gone below it's old all time high ... your calculation essentially omitted the 15-10% inflation we have had for last 3 years by only looking at price, not total market value.
