So, does that mean that you are in your late 60s or early 70s?

No. Just a bone idle cabbage.

There's a party in my pants. And time bomb in my ribcage.

Before you can put more money in safety deposit box you have to increase security. In Bitcoin lingo Hashrate is security.

This is really fundamental, some post around here outright scary. 
 

Miners don't give a fuck about security. All they want is money.

If the price is too low to make money off they go until the difficulty changes enough to entice them back.

I wasnt ready to wait 5 years..  anyways.. just hodl

The comparative sluggishness of the rise fits in there, but the fall has been of a similar pace and percentage compared to last time.

Either way in five years I'll probably be back in nappies so sooner works better for me.
5944  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 18, 2018, 07:05:09 PM
indeed...12-14 sat/byte to get "in" within 3 hr, >=33 sat/byte within 1 block.
Could be a temporary situation, though.

Has anyone charted the correlation if there is one?

I find it hard to believe volume dumpers would wait an hour or more to get on an exchange.

nobody would've thought ever that the bearish times (Futures and shorting opportunities) would kill the value to under $3250 levels.

Then they were bleedin' dimwits.

You don't get a bubble where a one page website and a non existent token is 'worth' 'billions' without having your balls kicked until they're flattened in the aftermath.

A 6 grand ish bottom way less than a year after the emptiest and longest pump imaginable seemed like dreamland to me. No one gets off that easy. If this has been the bottom then there could've been much worse outcomes.

As for this wallet stuff, I pray for the day when a straightforward movement does not attract 'OMIGODWEALLGONNADIE' threads.

What do you want? More dollars or more BTC or even more XEM? What do you believe in the most? What's your endgame?
5947  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Will Soar over Next Three Years: Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire on: December 18, 2018, 03:45:19 PM
why doesn't he make a significant price prediction? while many experts say if the price of bitcoin will be very high in the next few years. he also has to determine how high the price of bitcoin is in the next three years.

Who gives a shit about price predictions? They're meaningless as this year has ably proven. What does one geezer's pure guess achieve?
5948  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 18, 2018, 02:57:21 AM

He is not short, but not long either and acknowledges that he might be wrong in his skepticism.

I think that he is wrong because bitcoin provides a standard/reference point, is apolitical and not 'owned' by a particular government plus could accelerate the commerce in due course.
Being neutral would make it resistant to the moves that he described, unless there is cooperation among G20.
What do you guys think?

Mick Mulvaney (pro-btc frmr congressman) will now become Trump's new chief of staff soon, so we'll be fine. Stairway to heaven coming back soon.

He'll be fired or in jail by new year's Day.

In 1933 FDR declared owning gold (inside the country) as being illegal.

I'd be very curious to see how a move like that would be taken today. Western populations are far more entitled and far less dutiful than that generation.

I really doubt it Bob is planning to invite both these dipshits to the 100k party  Grin


When you arrive you will discover that every single person on this thread was the Anti Semite apart from you.

Then it envelops you in its cloak and drags you to its sex van.
5951  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone here that experience a long bear market besides this one? on: December 17, 2018, 09:58:48 PM
The market is starting to pump again so this thread could be premature. Most likely a bull trap but you never know. I'd be surprised if anyone had any money to invest just before Christmas time

Let's get into mid February unscathed first. Then we might be able to stick our heads out. Until then it may well get shot off. This is just one pump. There've been an awful lot of them on the way down to pooville.
5952  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 17, 2018, 09:49:37 PM
I'm more concerned about Gembitz guy. He went missing after the price went up. Most probably he killed himself as he finally realized he won't be able to rebuy at 1500  Grin

That creep only descends on coins that are having a bad time. It skips from thread to thread spewing worthless diarrhea about something it knows nothing about and then disappears again when it gets boring or goes up.
5953  Economy / Economics / Re: Wash Trading: Markets manipulation on: December 17, 2018, 09:46:58 PM
why is that? with volume pumping, i figure the exchanges are just trying to exaggerate volume and liquidity to attract more traders. some relatively innocuous algorithm that amplifies volumes without necessarily manipulating the market much (since everything is amplified).

if traders are doing it, i assume their intention is always bad. rationally, there's no reason for traders to engage in that behavior unless they are trying to manipulate price.

If an exchange is willing to pump the shit out of their volumes then I'll also assume that they're willing to front run the shit out of their customers too. They're attracting customers by deception so I can't imagine the deception will stop there in many a case.

I naturally assume traders themselves are out to fuck as many people as possible and their wash trading is just a part of that.

I wonder if days like this drive r0ach to drink.

No.

It drives it to sit on its (tungsten but it doesn't know that) golden dildo and rotate at up to 75 rpm while crying its eyes out.
5955  Economy / Economics / Re: Wash Trading: Markets manipulation on: December 17, 2018, 07:56:32 PM
Obviously there's no way of knowing, but it's rather more important to know who's wash trading. If it's the actual customers then I'm not too bothered. That's what enough assholes do already.

If it's purely the exchanges themselves, and I'll guess most of the time it is, then that's much more odious.
5956  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-12-14]Ukraine Considers Blockchain as an Effective Means of Fighting Corru on: December 17, 2018, 07:38:31 PM
there's still a ton of problems - the results can be tampered with before they are submitted to blockchain, you can still bribe voters, etc.

In the case of those council elections I mentioned you had to pay a XEM registration fee to register to vote.

Tons of no mark voters registered.

In many cases their fees were traced to the accounts of those with interests in a competing blockchain that some think is trying to stifle NEM by populating its leadership with their people so those zombie voters were all struck off.

Quite a few of those people were already on the council. They only opened a 7 day window for voter registration. It wasn't well publicised. The fairer, or rather impossible to game, way of voting with NEM's consensus mechanism was voted down by the people under suspicion in favour of the conventional registration system.

Without the blockchain to follow the trails they left they would've walked it and progress could well have been strangled. Instead it's looking up for the first time in a long time.
5957  Economy / Economics / Re: Bulls are Retarded on: December 17, 2018, 07:22:02 PM
There's one small thing that stands out to me.

Perma bulls have been right.

Time after time.

The people who start threads like this have been wrong every.single.time. There are hundreds of them littered throughout this forum dating from 2011 or before.

Those who called for $1/10/100/1000/10000 were all dissed in pinhead threads too.

There are certain patterns I see in this forum repeating over and over and over again.

One of them is scale. For some reason people can't understand that price rises alongside the numbers of people. In some ways it was harder to go from 0-$10 than it might be to go from $10,000 - $100,000. It signifies momentum. Without it nothing happens. When it gathers pace nothing can stop it.

Unlike any other 'investment' before it every bubble burst so far ends up with more people involved than were here when it started. Nothing else can do that as nothing else has risen literally from zero.

Every move from now on will keep gathering ever greater numbers of people until it's saturated and then the epic calls will be redundant.


They have no regard for the market cap

People who say that it'll shoot up to $100,000 have no concept of market caps and size. They seem to think that since a bubble happened two times, it will happen again.

You should be able to differentiate between a $1,000,000 marketcap and $1 trillion market cap. Most Bitcoiners are unable to do so. They believe in it rising to infinity and beyond because of previous movements.

That's not how the market works, dummies!

You clearly don't understand market cap either. If someone spent $5 billion tomorrow between 0900 and 1200 GMT with the coins available on exchanges I expect the market cap would be $5-10 trillion by lunch time simply because the supply of coins would dry up.
5958  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Voucher redemption terms and conditions need advice on: December 17, 2018, 07:11:49 PM
So no ETH at all and it's been more than 10 hours?

Does the wallet address on their receipt match yours?

Obviously contact them first. If you hear nothing from them relatively soon then make noise on their Twitter feed and on r/bitcoin or r/cryptocurrency. That should get their attention.
5959  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 17, 2018, 07:06:40 PM
If we compare it with a Smartphone it was invented in 1992, the first good Smartphone came on the market in 2005, with a number of users of 2%, 7 years later 54%, 11 years later 81%, today no one doubts that a Smartphone be a very useful gadget, Bitcoin will not take so long.

They didn't require you to take a financial risk after having a deep ponder over the nature of money itself.

That's a stretch for most of the world's population.
5960  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Voucher redemption terms and conditions need advice on: December 17, 2018, 06:43:43 PM
This isn't totally clear.

So you redeemed a voucher for 100 Euros worth of ETH and received none at all? Or some at a different/worse exchange rate?

Do they publish the exchange rates they offer or were you checking the market rate from a different exchange? Since they mention credit cards I assume fees will be big.
