I'm wondering if this discovery is likely to significantly lower the low.
No. The low is due to capital flows timing and mass psychology (confidence and loss of it). MA is merely pointing out that this is fuel for driving to the predicted benchmark lows (which remain unchanged).

A concern, I've read some "conspiracy theories" putting the NSA behind CryptoNote. I haven't gotten to deep into that research, so I'd love to hear from people that have.
CN uses Daniel Berstein's EdDSA (specifically curve Ed25519). Berstein has fought the USG in court and has been outspoken about threats against our cryptography freedom. The main problem with CN is that ring signatures require equal denominations, thus Monero has to maintain power-of-10 balances, which bloats the block chain and complicates the wallet programming. Then when you need to recombine the change from multiple transactions, if don't mix these you break unlinkability. Also because Monero does not force all ring mixes to be mandatory amongst preset groupings, it could be subject to combinatorial attack which could unmask the anonymity. Their researchers are studying my complaint on this issue and my suggested fix. Confidental Transactions from Blockstream hides the values of a transaction so business privacy is retained. CN doesn't do this. No CN coins and in fact no altcoins that I am aware of, have really solved the issue that centralization of mining can cause transactions to be censored. This is an open problem for cryptocurrency. The other problem for all anonymous coins is that neither I2P nor Tor are reliable anonymity against a national security agency. And the nations are compiling these records to compile future tax and criminal cases against you. (yes of course I have solutions to all of these weaknesses)

It's gonna really tough for me to give up on my Monero ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Why would you give up? Selling and repurchasing at lower prices is giving up? Or do you mean that you bought at higher prices and feel not good about selling at a loss? P.S. the only argument I could make for why altcoins would not go down while BTC and gold are, is that it might be more difficult to short them? I don't know.

I hope all of you have reviewed my posts in the kLee's PnF thread in the Economics -> Speculation forum. You will find there people who will verify that I have predicted all of the major moves of the BTC price since the top last 2013. For example, I predicted the $315 top recently for the bounce exactly. And I made that prediction back in May when we were loitering in the low $200s. You might also view my prescient public prediction for silver back in 2010 predicting the rise from $26 to $48 by March to May 2011 and then a fall to $26: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article23786.htmlI am able to do this by understanding very well both group psychology and more importantly because I understand Martin Armstrong's $1 billion supercomputer model of the history of the world, which for example predicted the closing price of oil at $54 for Dec. 31, 2014, back when oil was $100. I distinctly remember reading his blog back in August 2012 when the DJIA was correcting back below 12,000 and he predicted a steady rise from there to a possible double or triple. He also said that if it topped @ 18,000 in 2015, then that would be the sign that the USA stock markets had phase shifted (from being a public asset such as sovereign bonds) and aligned with private assets (such as gold, collectibles, Bitcoin). The point being that private assets peaked in 2011 (Bitcoin 2013 because it was playing catch up) and they will make their lows as the liquidity crisis accelerates and the final move into the short-end of the yield curve for bonds in Europe this October. So gold, Bitcoin, and altcoins will be making their lows this coming spring 2016. This is 100% certain.
Expect gold to drop to < $700 ($680), Bitcoin will drop to double-digits again, and altcoins will be demolished fall to perhaps 1/5 their current prices.So do NOT buy altcoins now. You want to be selling everything and moving to $dollars and wait. As the Europe crisis accelerates this September - January, cash will be king. Japan will follow for its final leg down on its 26 year crisis culmination. All over the world, capital is going to be stampeding into the $dollar and then USA stocks as safe haven. By 2017.9, we will see the DJIA double in price. Private assets such as Bitcoin and gold, will get sold off severely because the shorts will pile on once they smell blood. The bottom will be reached by short covering, not by bulls. The bulls will be exhausted and have lost most of their capital by selling at the lows (which is what always happens to delusional fools who believe in an investing GOD as if BITGOD is something that can disobey the normal laws of investing). I am telling you this because I want you to reserve some $dollar cash, so that you will be able to buy BTC and any world changing altcoin in Spring 2016 and become incredibly wealthy. Ignore my warning at your peril!

I don't believe in anarchistic anything. To believe that such a system would work you have to believe that individuals are inherently good. I believe that in general individuals gravitate towards being inherently bad
Individuals can't do that much bad against a society where citizens can carry guns. Rather it is the collective organization of individuals that empowers the State to have the might to enact horrific megadeath.

I am bothered by second guessing myself about whether I am rational about the severity of the coming problems in the world.
For example the recent discussion between trollercoaster and myself, wherein it is about him pulling up roots from a very first-class lifestyle country (Australia) with contemplation of exchanging it for a lower lifestyle country and lower standard-of-living (although I will say I love the simple life, so a farm isn't necessarily lower standard-of-living from my perspective).
Will the world really get so totalitarian that it is necessary to make such radical changes to our lives?
One would tend to think that society will get pushed to a certain point and then society will change or demand adjustments because people all over the world don't want to live in some sort of totalitarian hell.
Yet we have examples from history where society went F.U.B.A.R.. For example WW1 and then later WW2 were essentially due to the European socialism that resulted trying to resist the technological unemployment of the Second Industrial Revolution (mass production and the end of cottage industry).
Sound familiar?
We are repeating the same. Europe is resisting the technological unemployment of the Second Computer Revolution (aka internet and Knowledge Age) by increasing socialism to sustain old engrained patterns (of the baby boomers).
Nature cleans out the old to make way for the new, and when the old refuses to adjust nature cleans it out with the necessary force.
Unfortunately boomers and socialists will not change. They'd rather die than give up their humanistic ideas. They firmly believe theirs was the righteous.
Ideological fanaticism is what drives horrific outcomes. We have that in spades at this juncture...Edit: on the way up the debt mountain, everyone goes out of their way to relieve hardship and the brutal realities of nature. On the way down the debt cliff, it is a free fall into the brutality of nature. Communities which didn't eat the poison and remained self-reliant pull together. Communities that ate the poison spin apart into brutal chaos. Communities of tough love remain functional and compassionate. Communities of free love diverge into dysfunction and brutality.
You were asking why Europeans support socialism and feminism... It is because they are humanists; feminism can be thought of as the culmination of humanist thought...
Karl Marx's own definition of Humanism reads: "Humanism is the denial of God, and the total affirmation of man... Humanism is really nothing else but Marxism" --Karl Marx, ECONOMIC POLITIQUE ET PHILOSOPHIE, VOL. I, PAGES 38-40.
Anyway, I'm sure many other Europeans will explain the general zeitgeist here too.
Let's do a Steve Jobs and be brutally frank. Apparently feminism = hedonism. I've noticed how much Westerners are getting a thrill from teaching two women to eat each other's pussies. I think Nordic Europeans support feminism because it enables them to justify fucking non-virgins and then the hedonistic dominoes from there. It also frees the men from the obligation to raise children, if they can convince the women they are more powerful if they don't bear children. I've noticed here in the Philippines, the females are vehemently anti-abortion and anti-birth control. It is very, very difficult to get them to take birth control pills and they are not that happy about using a condom. These are real women who want to have the real happiness of bearing children and raising a family. My own mother criticizes me when I don't force the women I am involved with to use birth control pills! Europe has entered decadent Frankenstein mode and the USA is following close behind. I am not trying to be a moral dogmatic oppressor here. I know any of us can be influenced as we are human, but the thing is that once a man prefers to get happiness more from hedonism than from family, then the culture is broken. The society will collapse into an abyss. And this is precisely what is happening to Europe. How does a mother who has become bisexual raise her daughter and son ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) (not my mother) Sorry I am fairly open minded person and I've explored many things in life, but I can tell you there is a major difference between the gf I have now and some of the Western women. My gf values dogs, children, family. She could easily be a hedonistic queen given her D breasts and very attractive face (not to mention brown skin), but she is humble and wants the things that really make happiness. Those Europeans who support feminism are insatiable. They want to steal and have everything. They don't want any natural limits on society. They want that man is superior to nature. Why should a woman be limited to sex with only a man or a human? She can fuck a pet monkey and that is more freedom. Why must she bear children. It is better we educate the women to fuck more people, sexes, and things and have more freedom! It isn't enough for her to undress and fondle herself on a webcam, instead the men want her to pee and insert objects into every orifice. And that is why they've run their debt sky high. And they can not change their system. They are addicted. Regarding the Trump discussion (and resurgence in Republicans in general), I have concluded the winner will be...
...the military-industrial complex.
Right on time with MA's War Cycle, which expects war and pandemic to start going hot in 2017 and really accelerating into 2018.
We'll get the increased military spending. The reduced taxes won't matter because the world is going to be so fucked by the rising interest rates and War Cycle, that no one will be able to avail of the opportunities to start businesses in the tangible industrial age economy.
The Knowledge Age doesn't give a shit about the taxes any way, since they will be 0 for the anonymous internet coming.
A global smashup ahead. Trump card doesn't change anything and if anything this lurch back to the hard right politics accelerates it.
Now we see why the USA must break apart into regions as MA predicts. It is because the morass can not be changed from WA D.C. After 2017, the Americans will start to realize they have to take matters into their own hands.
The Feds will fight the militias. The country will break into parts. The world will be a much different place.
Crazy world we are heading into. Be prepared accordingly.
Edit: Rand Paul alludes to Trump being beholden to special interests. That Trump is loudly declaring that he isn't, is probably telling us that he is. Of course he knows he can't win without playing ball with powerful interests. He openly admits the realities of leverage. Trump is obviously willing to appease the NSA and military-complex in order to go after hard-nosed trade deals. He will appear to be a populist but is a wolf in sheepskin.
Trump represents a rise of fascist-capitalism in the USA. He is not talking about printing money the way the German socialists did, but instead it will be a hard lurch towards a brutal economic default coupled with military imperialism fully bankrupting Rome. As with Rome, the barbarians will later be at the gates of Rome and overrun it.
In fact, we need free trade and free markets. Rising protectionism is what lead to WW2. Trump is a very bad result for us.

RealBitcoin, you attributed my statement about socialist pigs to username18333. I wrote that, not him. I am bothered by second guessing myself about whether I am rational about the severity of the coming problems in the world.

I know any of us can be influenced as we are human, but the thing is that once a man prefers to get happiness more from hedonism than from family, then the culture is broken. The society will collapse into an abyss. And this is precisely what is happening to Europe. How does a mother who has become bisexual raise her daughter and son ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) (not my mother) Sorry I am fairly open minded person and I've explored many things in life, but I can tell you there is a major difference between the gf I have now and some of the Western women. My gf values dogs, children, family. She could easily be a hedonistic queen given her D breasts and very attractive face (not to mention brown skin), but she is humble and wants the things that really make happiness. Those Europeans who support feminism are insatiable. They want to steal and have everything. They don't want any natural limits on society. They want that man is superior to nature. Why should a woman be limited to sex with only a man or a human? She can fuck a pet monkey and that is more freedom. Why must she bear children. It is better we educate the women to fuck more people, sexes, and things and have more freedom! It isn't enough for her to undress and fondle herself on a webcam, instead the men want her to pee and insert objects into every orifice. And that is why they've run their debt sky high. And they can not change their system. They are addicted. Regarding the Trump discussion (and resurgence in Republicans in general), I have concluded the winner will be...
...the military-industrial complex.
Right on time with MA's War Cycle, which expects war and pandemic to start going hot in 2017 and really accelerating into 2018.
We'll get the increased military spending. The reduced taxes won't matter because the world is going to be so fucked by the rising interest rates and War Cycle, that no one will be able to avail of the opportunities to start businesses in the tangible industrial age economy.
The Knowledge Age doesn't give a shit about the taxes any way, since they will be 0 for the anonymous internet coming.
A global smashup ahead. Trump card doesn't change anything and if anything this lurch back to the hard right politics accelerates it.
Now we see why the USA must break apart into regions as MA predicts. It is because the morass can not be changed from WA D.C. After 2017, the Americans will start to realize they have to take matters into their own hands.
The Feds will fight the militias. The country will break into parts. The world will be a much different place.
Crazy world we are heading into. Be prepared accordingly.
Edit: Rand Paul alludes to Trump being beholden to special interests. That Trump is loudly declaring that he isn't, is probably telling us that he is. Of course he knows he can't win without playing ball with powerful interests. He openly admits the realities of leverage. Trump is obviously willing to appease the NSA and military-complex in order to go after hard-nosed trade deals. He will appear to be a populist but is a wolf in sheepskin.
Trump represents a rise of fascist-capitalism in the USA. He is not talking about printing money the way the German socialists did, but instead it will be a hard lurch towards a brutal economic default coupled with military imperialism fully bankrupting Rome. As with Rome, the barbarians will later be at the gates of Rome and overrun it.
In fact, we need free trade and free markets. Rising protectionism is what lead to WW2. Trump is a very bad result for us.

I am bothered by second guessing myself about whether I am rational about the severity of the coming problems in the world. For example the recent discussion between trollercoaster and myself, wherein it is about him pulling up roots from a very first-class lifestyle country (Australia) with contemplation of exchanging it for a lower lifestyle country and lower standard-of-living (although I will say I love the simple life, so a farm isn't necessarily lower standard-of-living from my perspective). Will the world really get so totalitarian that it is necessary to make such radical changes to our lives? One would tend to think that society will get pushed to a certain point and then society will change or demand adjustments because people all over the world don't want to live in some sort of totalitarian hell. Yet we have examples from history where society went F.U.B.A.R.. For example WW1 and then later WW2 were essentially due to the European socialism that resulted trying to resist the technological unemployment of the Second Industrial Revolution (mass production and the end of cottage industry). Sound familiar? We are repeating the same. Europe is resisting the technological unemployment of the Second Computer Revolution (aka internet and Knowledge Age) by increasing socialism to sustain old engrained patterns (of the baby boomers). Nature cleans out the old to make way for the new, and when the old refuses to adjust nature cleans it out with the necessary force. Unfortunately boomers and socialists will not change. They'd rather die than give up their humanistic ideas. They firmly believe theirs was the righteous. Ideological fanaticism is what drives horrific outcomes. We have that in spades at this juncture... Edit: on the way up the debt mountain, everyone goes out of their way to relieve hardship and the brutal realities of nature. On the way down the debt cliff, it is a free fall into the brutality of nature. Communities which didn't eat the poison and remained self-reliant pull together. Communities that ate the poison spin apart into brutal chaos. Communities of tough love remain functional and compassionate. Communities of free love diverge into dysfunction and brutality.
You were asking why Europeans support socialism and feminism... It is because they are humanists; feminism can be thought of as the culmination of humanist thought...
Karl Marx's own definition of Humanism reads: "Humanism is the denial of God, and the total affirmation of man... Humanism is really nothing else but Marxism" --Karl Marx, ECONOMIC POLITIQUE ET PHILOSOPHIE, VOL. I, PAGES 38-40.
Anyway, I'm sure many other Europeans will explain the general zeitgeist here too.
Let's do a Steve Jobs and be brutally frank. Apparently feminism = hedonism. I've noticed how much Westerners are getting a thrill from teaching two women to eat each other's pussies. I think Nordic Europeans support feminism because it enables them to justify fucking non-virgins and then the hedonistic dominoes from there. It also frees the men from the obligation to raise children, if they can convince the women they are more powerful if they don't bear children. I've noticed here in the Philippines, the females are vehemently anti-abortion and anti-birth control. It is very, very difficult to get them to take birth control pills and they are not that happy about using a condom. These are real women who want to have the real happiness of bearing children and raising a family. My own mother criticizes me when I don't force the women I am involved with to use birth control pills! Europe has entered decadent Frankenstein mode and the USA is following close behind. I am not trying to be a moral dogmatic oppressor here. I know any of us can be influenced as we are human, but the thing is that once a man prefers to get happiness more from hedonism than from family, then the culture is broken.

Ease of use is a bigger factor, TPTB, than you might think.
Totally with you there. Don't worry, I have my entirely life excelled at understanding this point. Go look at the marketing for CoolPage.com. The surfer dude is to represent that you don't have time for mucking around with HTML coding and just want to drag+drop items on your web page, click one button to publish and be done with it. I was servicing Yahoo GeoCities and other free hosting with one-click web site creation back in 1999. For example, I already made decisions about the language chosen for crypto work to make sure that all clients can run both in the web browser and stand alone. Newbies don't want to wade through any technobabble. They want to click one button and go. It must literally be that easy. No one should ever have to know a damn thing about a Linux command line or how to compile from sources, etc.. I agree point & click. You'll be happy if ever I finish my work. I was 18 hours on the anonymity white paper today. Over 48 references cited already. My blinded eye is so blood shot that I can't barely keep it open. Headed to sleep. Zzzzzzz.
I am having a bad day. I can barely see. I took a 3 km run at 1pm in the tropical sun to the beach.
But my eyes are really shot.
Hope this will improve asap.
Your body telling you take a bit of a break? If I take breaks, the work won't get done in time. My M.S. really went bezerk today. I eyes were so blood shot that there was no white just red. My feet were in severe cramps. I had backed off the vitamin D3 over recent weeks. Also hadn't eaten any carrots for weeks. I took 100,000 IU today and ate two carrots, also made sure to eat the uncooked leafy greens. Am able to see slightly better now. I think I am barely controlling the M.S. with the vitamin D3 et al. I need to go for that fecal transplant. I can't emphasize enough that I would perhaps 3 - 5X more productive if I could get the M.S. into remission. I will be talking with my investors about funding me to go to Australia, perhaps in September. I think I've reached the point where it doesn't make any sense to try to make it all the way to the finish line for crypto work before attempting a cure. I really need my full speed productivity. It is very difficult for me to will a project to completion with this illness. I making progress but the malaise so much retards the process as compared to before I was ill. I do better (than others and) damn well for having M.S.. I probably outperform most healthy people even in terms of my athletics at this age 50. But this is no where near what I am capable of. I feel without the M.S. my level is still in my late 30s. I've seen glimpses on days where I wasn't suffering malaise where my performances were no less than where I was in my late 30s both in athletics and in coding/mental work. Also I can see a big drop off in my writing and intellectualism just since I wrote the essays linked from the opening post of the Economics Devastation thread. My understanding may have become more firm, but my elucidation and ability to think in a very high IQ manner is getting more sporadic. I pray I can get the support I need to be successful. And I pray that those who are capable of doing it, have read my upthread posts recently about computer security and have implemented proper computer security. No excuses. We are losing precious time! Gaming won't accomplish the goal. P.S. thank you for your concern. My concern is being able to do the job I want and need to do. I really want to work. I am extremely motivated. Very frustrating to have M.S. at this juncture when the opportunity is so very well fit to my talent, knowledge, timing, and desire.

I hope all of you have reviewed my posts in the kLee's PnF thread in the Economics -> Speculation forum.
You will find there people who will verify that I have predicted all of the major moves of the BTC price since the top last 2013. For example, I predicted the $315 top recently for the bounce exactly. And I made that prediction back in May when we were loitering in the low $200s.
You might also view my prescient public prediction for silver back in 2010 predicting the rise from $26 to $48 by March to May 2011 and then a fall to $26:
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article23786.html
I am able to do this by understanding very well both group psychology and more importantly because I understand Martin Armstrong's $1 billion supercomputer model of the history of the world, which for example predicted the closing price of oil at $54 for Dec. 31, 2014, back when oil was $100. I distinctly remember reading his blog back in August 2012 when the DJIA was correcting back below 12,000 and he predicted a steady rise from there to a possible double or triple. He also said that if it topped @ 18,000 in 2015, then that would be the sign that the USA stock markets had phase shifted (from being a public asset such as sovereign bonds) and aligned with private assets (such as gold, collectibles, Bitcoin). The point being that private assets peaked in 2011 (Bitcoin 2013 because it was playing catch up) and they will make their lows as the liquidity crisis accelerates and the final move into the short-end of the yield curve for bonds in Europe this October.
So gold, Bitcoin, and altcoins will be making their lows this coming spring 2016. This is 100% certain.
Expect gold to drop to < $700 ($680), Bitcoin will drop to double-digits again, and altcoins will be demolished fall to perhaps 1/5 their current prices.
So do NOT buy altcoins now. You want to be selling everything and moving to $dollars and wait.
As the Europe crisis accelerates this September - January, cash will be king. Japan will follow for its final leg down on its 26 year crisis culmination.
All over the world, capital is going to be stampeding into the $dollar and then USA stocks as safe haven. By 2017.9, we will see the DJIA double in price.
Private assets such as Bitcoin and gold, will get sold off severely because the shorts will pile on once they smell blood. The bottom will be reached by short covering, not by bulls. The bulls will be exhausted and have lost most of their capital by selling at the lows (which is what always happens to delusional fools who believe in an investing GOD as if BITGOD is something that can disobey the normal laws of investing).
I am telling you this because I want you to reserve some $dollar cash, so that you will be able to buy BTC and any world changing altcoin in Spring 2016 and become incredibly wealthy.
Ignore my warning at your peril!
