It would be interesting to see whether the Bulgarian BTC have made their way to an exchange.   Very tempting honey pot for a politician. 

Good memory.  No, nothing has changed.  I am done trading between $6k and $10k because any trade would make me objectively worse off according to my models.  I can’t sell any because I need all of my current holdings to hedge against a sudden upside move (eg a retail ETF somehow magically gets approved).  

I also can’t buy any because I have gone bearish and am expecting a long grind to 2020.  I bought a small amount when we went sub $6k but it wasn’t deep enough or long enough for me to really engage.

Basically I don’t pretend to know which way the price is going to go but am assuming a long haul and have a plan either way.

Dammit 29/30.  I object to the wording of the change question !

Its well known that Roger had tens of thousands of bitcoin tied up in Mt Gox (at the least).  He might even have been their biggest customer.

Its hardly surprising he would want to help Mark out.   

Lol that article is full of so many falsehoods and outright lies I don't even know where to begin.

"SegWit means users can prove custody of their coins, but not chain of custody."  Hah like Segwit means the coins aren't on a blockchain?

Current hard floor ~ $3800.



The current price ~$6595 will be the hard floor by 31 December 2018



Hard floor to be over $19k by 31 December 2020



However, previous hard floor was broken during 2014 cryptowinter in late December 2014.  



Hard floor was at $263 when broken.  Best buying was had at $152 about two weeks after breaking the hard floor, marking the absolute bottom of the cryptowinter, being 43% below 'hard floor'.   If hard floor were broken very soon, eg at $5,000, that would make a possible one-off spike as low as $2880 but really no more, which would mark the bottom of this winter on the march towards the 2020 halvening.  

More realistic is that the price will hover around its current level and break downwards through the hard floor in late December 2018.  That would put the absolute bottom of the cryptowinter on a spike downwards to ~$3,800 in January 2019.  

The price would then spend 2019 hovering in the $4k - $7k range, before breaking decisively upwards early in 2020.  

They don’t call it the World Series for nothing

If we are going to have chem trails, at least let them be fabulous. 

Looks like the claim that nobody got fired for hiring IBM is about to be tested

Nothing to do with segwit v legacy.  He's just saying that the Lightning scaling solution is completely off-chain so its development doesn't risk the main chain.

Here you can have this one

Yeah just like Milo was trolling people to shoot up the Fake News media and then the five Capital Gazette journalists were killed the next day.   Hahahaha that event triggered the stupid liberal cucks.  What an epic troll.  

We are all Bob on this blessed day

Trade you some highly liquid Koala assets?

I think it is in everyone’s interest to accept that Satoshi died with Hal Finney.

It means you don’t need SEC approval to launch an ETF so long as your ETF meets certain conditions.

It’s not clear to me from the statement whether an Bitcoin ETF could meet the conditions.  I don’t need to explain the consequences.
