Good video with Dr. Wright from 2014 which I've never seen before.  Very informative.

Reuters et al are still trying to dig up info on Dr. Wright. 

Who told you Satoshi is Core sided?  Did he send you a private message?   

They don't have a choice unless they compromise and they won't. 

And they won't do it unless they're attacked first so we'll get 3 chains, not two.  Core says BU will be a premined alt so what will that make their fork which will also have a new PoW algo?

If that's the case we'll have 2 alts and a dead chain.  So [technically] no more Bitcoin. 

That's gonna be interesting to watch unfold.

Core will not give up until they exhaust all their options which include changing the PoW, regardless of how popular BU is before the actual fork. 

So what do you call Bitcoin segwit since it's gonna be the minority fork and will only have about 3% of the original Bitcoin code?  So if BU is an alt then isn't that a bigger alt than BTU?

Worst yet, once BU forks the chain, Bitcoin (core) will fork again to change PoW making it a full-blown alt more so than the previous 2 chains.

You guys starting to get this yet? 

Dr. Wright and I warned everyone a year ago.  Don't start crying when those steganographic messages start happening, one by one. 

I'm pretty sure a few coins have already updated to segwit.  I remember reading about it on Reddit a couple weeks ago.

I think it needs to be a high profile coin or at least one which has the marketing to raise awareness.

Namecoin is a different codebase than Bitcoin.  Not a twin.

It depends on your risk tolerance and how btc you have. 

You can hold your btc and you will get an equal amount on the BU chain.  I think most will do that.

There is a risk with this.  This hardfork isn't that well planned and numerous bugs have been found in the BU code already.  Plus there will probably be an attack on Bitcoin (core) by BU miners which could stall that chain and force another split to a new PoW algo.

If you add these two possibilities then there is a good probability of a massive panic and price crash.  It will be difficult for most to think clearly in such a scenario and if panic selling ensues it could get really ugly really fast.

So again, it depends on your situation and how much risk can you stomach. 

If I had say 1,000 btc I'd probably cash out 200 now to have a lot of cash to buy with.  And then wait on the 800 btc and double it to 1600 post split and hope there's no crash and it's easy to pic a winner.

If I had only a few btc I'd probably just wait and see cause my wife [hopefully] wouldn't leave me over such a small loss, in the event I were to make the wrong call after the split.

Personally, I think the worst case scenario is gonna happen, there are going to be bugs, Bitcoin (core version) will get attacked and they'll be forced to fork again to a new PoW algo thus splicing Bitcoin 3 times.  This would create mass confusion and the price would probably plummet at which point it would be hard to figure out what's what.

I think all hell is about to break loose.  I expected it to happen last summer which was why I kept saying:  it's gonna be a HOT summer.

Good luck!

Hahaha.  No, you're not a puppet, you get an apple.

Interesting read.  This part stood out to me for some reason. 


He first met Trump in the eighties. (“People said he was just a clown,” Caddell said. “But I’ve learned that you should always pay attention to successful ‘clowns.’ ”) .

And BTW, most people are not losing "money".  They're losing paper profits which is not quite the same socially and economically speaking.  That "money" will be transferred to others just like it was once transferred to those losing it. 

Just like stocks, it's a zero sum game. 

And the writing has been on the wall a long time - people chose to assume the risk so they have to take the loss with the same grace they boasted about their easy "moon" profits.

Most will lose all their BTC.  It's getting too complex and unstable already.  It's just a simple reality people need to face and diversify according to their risk tolerance.

Well, I had a lot of skin in the game until Vern took it all.  It's part cause I'm just a meanie but mostly it's this. 





4 years I've been accurately predicting things like this split and coming chaos just to be called crazy. 

I don't like that.  Nobody paid me a dime to be treated like shit, I was only trying to help people.  People who prefer to stay blind and mock those who see.

So now I'm enjoying the show; and mocking the mockers. 

Bitcoin Unlimited just hit 40% of the last 144 blocks. 

PS - Bahahahahaaaa!

Sorry about that last part; I simply couldn't hold it in.

Ever seen a chicken running around with his head cut off?  How about a few hundred thousand?   lol

Uhhhh, April fools?  That's either a joke or someone out there loves a good laugh.  I hope it's true cause I can't wait.

What?  Are you putting me on?  You got a link? 

Hahaha.  I promise.  Not sure you can trust the promise of a dictator, tho. 

Bitcoin Unlimited actually states that they are going to choose a Bitcoin Diktator, err, president. 

Bahahahaaaaa.

You guys realize the havoc someone like me would cause?  On the bright side there would be no more arguing about scaling, namechange, protocol or anything like that.  Bitcoin would move mainstream ASAP. 

You muppets need a diktator cause you're a bunch of quarreling children. 

Enjoy the coming chaos.

On Facebook today:

Andrew Jackson: We thank you for your service. We honor your memory. We build on your legacy & we thank God for the USA! - President Donald J. Trump
