As long as it all leads to more people of the world buying bitcoin, then I could give a rip how much they and institutions wanna overhype Blockchain tech.

Should be called 'How to implement an inefficient Blockchain in 99.99% of use cases where all I needed was a Relational Database"  |

I think so. If you don't keep your wealth in fiat in a bank, it means that they can't extract fees from you. It means they can't borrow against your fiat and invest it elsewhere, can't use it as collateral or leverage. It means they can't sell more useless services to you, or pray that you suck with managing your accounts and charge you mgmt fees, overdraft fees, ATM fees, etc. A hell of a lot to fear. Mark my words, before too long banks will be offering to hold your bitcoin for you (securely of course) and transferring between fiat to btc, and back, with little to no fee as incentive. |

Were going down again.... Wtf is going on....  silent crypto war...guess who are main playerz  Yea But what is the reason the presure is quit high to keep the price down Whales shorting/dumping and playing games. A last ditch effort. They know a technical breach is coming soon, and once that happens robot trading takes over and forces the market in a different direction. Guess which direction? |

Oh, so now Goldman Sachs is flip-flopping again? Bitcoin is in a bubble?
Goldman Sachs investment chief: Bitcoin is definitely a bubble, Ethereum even more so http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-outlook-for-bitcoin-and-ethereum-2018-2"And we show the returns of cryptocurrencies against other asset classes that have been in bubble territory. So for example, we compare it to the TOPIX in 1990. We compare it to the Nasdaq in 2000. And what you can see is that, basically, these other big bubbles that we've had look like a flat line, even compared to tulip bulb prices, tulip mania in the 1600s, which was a bubble. We always talk about tulip mania. The bitcoin prices are astronomical. Then we compare that to Ether, and Ether is even more astronomical. So clearly, these valuations don't make sense to us. In addition, we think that these currencies have major shortcomings. Is there room for a digital currency, maybe sponsored by one of the major central banks like the Federal Reserve? Yes. Could it be incredibly useful? Could it reduce transaction costs? Yes. But not these ones. "
Ah yes, bringing up Tulip Mania and a potential future FedCoin all in the same article. How wonderful! |

While the lawsuit is a nonsensical fight over unrelated funds that never belonged to either party, it offers the rest of us a valuable reminder of how you'll easily get taken advantage of if you don't follow the #1 rule of Bitcoin:
Don't trust. Verify.
Put simply, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Fortunately, thanks to Bitcoin, that's now as easy as a single cryptographic signature.
Funny how Wright has never provided one?
What if this whole elaborate lawsuit was concocted to simply call Craig's bluff and expose him as a fraud? |

http://uk.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-on-cryptocurrency-2018-2?r=US&IR=T Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have. He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations. Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky." Bill Gates is the same guy who said "64 kB should be enough for anyone". Now he denies the quote is legit, but he sure acted like it, failing to endow DOS and the first Windows versions with proper memory addressing. Bill Gates is also the same guy who thought the Internet, anarchic network of networks as it used to be, would be a passing fad and everyone would just use the Microsoft Network. Bill Gates is the same guy who can't quote you the price of common groceries found in the store, because he's up in the Ivory Tower along with the rest of the billionaires. |

Bitcoin's price is really stable at 10,000$ any thoughts on what is happening with this? would the price still go up from this value?
No it's never going up from here Best you sell everything now and walk away for a while And FOMO buy back in when it hits $100k |

I wonder if popcorn futures are rising due to continuous Bitcoin drama.
I would totally trade a popcorn futures based coin merge mined with Bitcoin drama. November 2016:  And yet two years later they'll buy Poloniex. You know, just in case. |

Honestly if Circle suddenly wants back into the crypto game by buying Poloniex, then they must think that they are going to make a killing in the future. And fyi Circle is partially owned by Goldman Sachs.
Something big is coming.

Best thread ever  yup good luck reading it all though LOL, If he starts reading it now from the beginning, bitcoin will be on the moon and he can't finish this thread yet. It's a huge more than the manga of One piece.  IDK. Strategic use of the ignore button and he could easily finish before moon. If he just /ignored talkie man, nazi silver man and like 1-2 others that would be 75+% of the thread right there. |

Love this, but still a little premature. The 'D' and the 'L' are not fully formed yet. But they will be. Oh yes, they will be... |

Knew I should have bought $600 down. Oh well.
The weak selling vol over the weekend wasn't enough to convince you? And the random shitcoin pumps? |

Someone just called me and asked if I was interested in making some money by investing in bitcoiin, the Steven Seagal backed shit-thing. They got this referral program, see. We would both benefit. Their whitepaper says it will be worth a lot, even put numbers on it!
I decided to be nice to him. Said no, thanks but no thanks, it's a scam, they are using bitcoins name to lure people in. No we already have litecoin, don't need yet another bitcoin companion to join the merry band.
Didn't seem to deter him. Genuinely wish him the best of luck with this thing, but what a poor bastard.
I'm 10,000% sure it'll pumped sky high at some point (probably by Steven Seagal himself). But so did Bitconnect, and several other ponzi scams. So did hundreds of other penny stock shitcoins over the last year. Makes no difference though, a scam is a scam. Not worth the risk IMO. |
