Η τιμη "φαινεται" υψηλη γιατι τα bitcoins ειναι μονο 21εκ. Αν ηταν 21 δις, η διαφορα μεταξυ 50 σεντς (500$) και 90 σεντς (900$), θα φαινονταν αστεια και η τιμη θα ακουγονταν "χαμηλη"... θα φαινονταν σαν "penny stock" που περιμενεις να κανεις τα λιγα σεντς σε 10-20-50$ για να εχεις καλη αποδοση.

Lol, the FOMO is real

Or people aren't here to cheer for 800$... 8000$ maybe...

Minus a zero (200mn).

2$ won't happen either. Reason being the difficulty in mining and the associated costs of producing a coin:

All these mining data centers, are multi-million investments...

Brexit #2?

Because a few trillion USD in foreign reserves aren't enough?

In my opinion the best solution is to have an ad-free experience for logged-in users, but display ads to non-logged-in users. I'm not talking anything big though - discrete, small ads that simply bring some extra revenue.

1) It creates an incentive to sign up
2) It breaks the closed loop economy
3) It keeps the promise of no ads for its users
4) It monetizes the content already existing in the blockchain, allowing new possibilities like residual income for older content

It is done to allow humans time to read the posts, otherwise only bots would curate.

Initially it didn't matter. So within 1-2-5 seconds bots had upvoted everything they deemed OK to vote. Humans were disadvantaged.

An artificial delay was introduced where if you vote too early, you lose some of your curation reward.

It goes like 3% per minute. If you vote in the first minute you keep only 3% of the curation reward that you'd normally have. If you vote in the fifteenth minute you get 50%. If you vote in the 29th minute you get 97% and after 30 minutes, curation reward is at 100%.

Btw, curation is alive and well for humans.

The effort the Elite expends to create problems for their targets, is simply mind-blowing... In most cases the depth of the design cannot even be comprehended by close family members, especially if they are somewhat "thick", or if they subconsciously resent admitting their relatives brilliance that painted a target on their back...

In some cases it's better to deal with these things internally, at least until the situation escalates to possible disruptions (like you had) or even assassination threats/attempts - where one has nothing to lose by speaking up.

I didn't think it was possible for the MXN Pesos to get a harder hit, but I guess it was... http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=MXN&view=12h

A few hours ago 1 dollar was worth ~18 pesos... now it's over 20... wow. (edit: 20.5 now )

Bitcoin in finex hitting 730's.

Mexican fiat holders be like

...bitcoin users not affected (+1.5%)

Haven't the markets learned from "Change"? Now they believe in "MAGA"?

The US elections should be pretty irrelevant to what BTC does: The policies are typically unaffected by the puppets elected, no matter what they've promised.

The biggest bullish indicator is that most people are still "meeeh" with this rise, expecting significantly higher rises to even get excited

Same applies for me I guess. 1000+ would start doing something for my excitement levels. +50/-50, who* cares

* I guess leveraged traders do.

Somewhat relevant: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@dantheman/a-better-approach-to-turing-complete-smart-contracts

The performance difference is impressive. And it also allows for zero-fee txs/contracts (I guess until someone finds a way to spam it).

It's a licensed implementation

Personally I'm not into technical analysis, but I consider the high 700's as a possible scenario before year's end.
