I wouldn't be surprised if the bart pattern originated on this very thread, or was at least picked up early by someone here. It is supposed to have first been seen in mid-2018, and it feels it's been on here about as long. There have been daft patterns painted on charts here since the days of MagicMexican's 'Dyno TA' paintings, for those here with long memories... |

No.1 is easy.
realr0ach A nasty, 'Holocaust 2' advocate, right out there born-again-fascist, misogynist nutjob. Plus 'it' just constantly trolls the WO with anti-Bitcoin, Pro-PMs shit.
NLC was nasty, but she's long gone.
Most other trolls are not in roach's league, so it seems pointless to pick out a no. 2. You can just ignore them and most do. Newbie's keep rising to the roach's bait and wonder why it isn't banned. If there is one troll on the entirety of BTCT that ought to be, it's this one.
So can I vote for the scumbag twice please?

This thread is more dead than r0ach’s sex life recently
Mate, not THAT bad, we'd have to be down to one post in a few decades to equal that. I agree you can almost see the tumbleweed, but.... |

No new coins were minted. Guaranteed. Having a closed blockchain like that of Monero + existance of critical bugs for some time + the increased number of Monero mining malware out in the open makes it difficult for me to accept any ultimate guarantee on this matter. It is true that these fake minting bugs only affect exchanges, but what is to say hackers did not locate a (smaller) exchange / exchanges already and were abusing them this way untill Monero patched up these bugs ? Whats to say these exchanges can even identify such problem occurring or having ocurred on their exchange ? Also the article mentions 9 security bugs of which 8 have been patched. Does this mean 1 is still open ? Note Darkcoin sig on this one. Don't take it too seriously if it's from the Evan cult. It's just bruised D-heads in the rear view mirror. They will only tempt Icebreaker to fire back, and he will not be as reasonable or nice as smooth. |

I'm not sure if you're the mod of this thread, but I was curious of something, why do you support and encourage
a resident racist psychopath do be the main content provider?
He is. I don't understand why It is tolerated by the man with the plan or engaged by long time posters who should know better. It's slowly draining the joy from this thread. And any newcomer will wonder what the fuck is going on. I've noticed people like to pile on the merits to anyone that engages him and shows what a fool he is. That is their incentive and his of course is getting the recognition of existence he does not deserve. Frankly - quoting it just encourages it. It obviously gets a hard on from being engaged with. So, if it is not going to be kicked out, then by all means take it on... but please don't quote its hateful babble? It's not necessary and gives it legitimacy. Read it if you want to, but for those of us who have ignored it kindly allow us to just read 'This user is currently ignored' and not be forced to view the fecal excrement that spews out from every orifice of what lies underneath? |

Recovering from a surgery on my leg yesterday. Bedridden for the next week / using crutches. No drinking at all for 14 days due to med interactions. Day is off to a great start when I ignore two people on one page and see corn tanking $600. Life could be worse I guess.
Sheeit.
Hey Bob, go easy and get well soon. It'll fly by - and a little time off the booze won't do you much harm. As for the ignore button, at least it helps the pages fly by a little easier  |

Don't we all love the building moments, brick after brick to then smoothly claim the 5-dig 6-dig zone forever  FTFY |

Those brain guys should concentrate on finding a cure for Alzheimer's first.
As an ex brain guy I can tell you it will be much easier to develop an AI cyborg that passes the Turing Test than it will be to cure Alzheimer's. Once your neurons start getting tangled like that, there's basically no way of reversing it... The only thing we can do is slow its progression to near standstill, which would be just as good, so long as you aren't already in advanced stages. I watched my grandfather, a veteran of 3 wars and one of the most stand-up, put-together guys you could ever meet, slowly lose all comprehension and eventually die from it over the course of 5 years or so... Shit sucks. My cousin, super smart, super fit, super healthy - typical holiday a 700 mile cycle trip, or mountain climbing... retired early from a science career to enjoy life and travel the world - mostly backpacking with his OH. Now in his early 50's, diagnosed with Alzheimer's a couple of years ago. He's trying to stay positive (despite it all), but gradually we are losing him. Bloody awful. |

I don't care for that stuff. I don't need more gadgets in my life.

Most foreseen applications are indeed for restorative therapies. Take a look? It's about restoring motor function, sight, brain disorder and interfacing with machines to facilitate functions affected by impairment. Yes, the sci-fi stuff can be extrapolated from this, too - but the purposing is about medical remedy, which is where the income stream is likely to be and (at least initially) where it is all aimed. |

Talking of brains being tickled... Elon Musk's brain-machine-interface technology Neuralink is recruiting staff. Enhancing the brain, for medical reasons, or 'to keep us up with AI'. It's pretty sci-fi, kind of William Gibson's Neuromancer stuff. Video from announcement here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vbh3t7WVI&feature=player_embedded |

What does the 2017 vs 2019 one look like now?
Irrelevant. It's normally a four year cycle, so we aren't in 2017, but we might be rhyming with 2015... Not really, these idiot traders like to paint the chart for fun. It's not organic, it's manipulated up and down. Maybe, but more likely institutional money with its eyes on Bitcoin thinks Libra is 'good' for BTC, so the onslaught against it (which is understandable from a nervous established system) looks 'bad' for BTC in their eyes. In fact Libra has little to do with Bitcoin, as Libra isn't really an investment, whereas Bitcoin patently is. Decentralised hard money is where it's at, not a new corporate run money system based upon a stablecoin tethered to fiat. What's the point: When the shit hits the fan, smart money wants hard money. Bitcoin is hard, uncensorable money. It will win. Every. Fucking. Time. |

Been waiting for a good moment to beef up my pension.
I have signed up via a new broker to get me into the Swedish Bitcoin Tracker One ETN fund, it's not ideal but it tracks the price well, it's connected to Nasdaq and has been around since 2015. It's allowed in my country and I can't be arsed to wait for an ETF.
About time I shifted a decent proportion of my pension into a decent asset. If this is still in this range tomorrow, I will start loading in. No Capital Gains Tax to deal with is rather sweet...

Which reminds me, I have fallen behind on posting nice Jewish ladies that you could take home to מוטע  Ashton Kutcher might object (to taking this lady home, etc.). For me, Frank Zappa comes to mind. Anyone remember the somewhat controversial, but er... 'seminal' Jewish Princess? I don't want no troll
I just want a Yemenite holeNot remotely politically correct, but genius, nonetheless. One for Roach to contemplate. Having lived in NYC for a few years, I can actually say some of the lyrics have some veracity. |

Nothing radical really. Pretty much the same as what they've been on about for quite some time. More KYC, more SEC. It's volatile.
Interesting that the press seems way, way more interested in Libra than real crypto. And the White House.
To quote Douglas Adams: "Mostly harmless" Summary: Crypto (etc.) is all innovation - which we are not necessarily against, just don't do bad things with it. If you're naughty, we will catch you. Questions about how racist the orange one is seemed more important to the press. Bitcoin responding rather well. |

Do you have a link to the denial? Check his twitter feed. The original reply where he said "I never said this" is less clear because the original tweet was then deleted however the later ones where he just tags them as #fakenews are still there. I don't know about this quote's veracity, but he hosted a debate with Tuur Demeester and Jimmy Song I watched (yeah, it was slow day) and he raised (positively) the importance of privacy to the guests. Both said the lack of opacity of Bitcoin's blockchain was essential, seemingly dismissive of the whole privacy issue. He looked like he disagreed, to me - he didn't mention Monero, but I would have thought he'd understand the value, I'd certainly be surprised if he dismissed privacy wholesale. |
