Nah. That character's already in his terrible twos. Before we know he'll have painted his room black, be shouting about not asking to be born and snapchatting his hairless pussy to any old perv before he's even groomed without our knowing it.  

We need a clean slate.

First I've heard of it. He must be holding it back.

In that case we're all going to have to send some sperm to a PO box, purchase a nice third world lady, get her to do the turkey baster thing and we'll raise the child on here. The sperm will be mixed up rather like a firing squad so we're all the father and not.

We're all here for both of them.

What this thread needs more than anything is its very own baby.

That's no way to address your husband.

Sheesh.

Why not open an account for her and talk to each other on here? We can give you marital guidance plus it's a fun memorial for your kids.

Ever heard of market cap? That means there are very few actual dollars involved in creating such figures. It is indeed a very silly amount but it would not require more than a small proportion of actual expenditure to reach those figures. And according to him it's straight back down again afterwards.

Ask for the Panda mousse.

It's sublime.

I don't think they give a shit about crypto and probably wish it had never darkened their door. It's taking up large amounts of their time and they at least know it's a total waste. The main man is now overtly stating that it's not going to happen with markets this shitty and every previous decision has made the same point.

I'm not gloomy in the slightest but I never, ever expected to get as high as it did. Thusly similarly I'm probably not expecting it to get as low as it possibly might. It don't really matter. Let's get it out the way and forge onwards. I'll be here no matter what.

I look forward to your posts so very much. They make a nice feeling in my pee pee.

Hey, treacle slit.

Let it get a little crusty and then waddle in to the freight elevator and come up and see me.

Same for me. If someone walks in slathered in artificial smells I have to leave the room. I would genuinely prefer my beloved to stink of manure if they had to stink of anything.

I'm going to give it a 38.7% chance. You can have blow off tops where the price ludicrously overshoots, and indeed we had one. This means you can just as easily have blow off bottoms where it crazily undershoots.

Both prices are talked about, obsessed over and referred to for years afterwards but in reality very little actual money changes hands. They're the tippiest tips.

I'll wait for the end of Q1 next year before thinking the possibility of it has receded.

Yup. Bitcoin is the embodiment of people overestimating the short term and underestimating the long term. It's so prevalent here that I find it desperately tiresome.

You see it everywhere but since numbers are attached to this it's much easier to measure.

And if such jobs do exist they'll be taken by people fired by the existing 'blockchain' companies who are about to implode. Consensys, the ETH company, are burning $100 million a year and have pretty much nothing to show for it. They're about to cut 13% of their workforce.

I'll guess that most of these jobs involve ways of usurping decentralised chains in which case there probably isn't that bright a future for most of them.

Mutter it out of the side of your mouth mid donkey punch.

That way you get to say it to her and the chances are she doesn't hear it. Win win.

I don't believe any real human being would've done this.

Interesting thread here about this - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/a42ndz/bitmex_btc_settled_futures_is_killing_the_btc/?sort=confidence

I don't know what it is about traders, but they always seem to congregate to the shittiest and most damaging service providers they can find and let them dominate the market. Once upon a time it was the Chinese zero fee casinos, then it was Bitfinex, these days it's Bitmex.

With dwindling real world demand it's gradually gotten to the stage during the course of this year of spot markets basically existing primarily to be fucked with so contracts on Bitmex could be fucked with, hence the insta pump and dumps that have been happening everywhere.

Anyway the poster's theory is this -


'When a contract settles or is sold on a BTC settled futures platform, the winner gets BTC (both short and long winners get BTC). The spot (fiat) market controls the settlement price and cannot be bought up with BTC. It can ONLY be sold down with BTC.

In a normal market there would be competing long traders offsetting the short traders. These long traders would be attempting to manipulate the spot up and therefore profit from their futures contract longs. This cannot happen in a BTC settled futures market without massive outside cash reserves. There is no way for a long trader to make fiat in order to buy the spot market up, they can only make BTC. The manipulation process ONLY works to the downside on BitMEX BTC settled futures. Since BitMEX is far and away the most volume, there is no competition for the short manipulators.'


'Manipulation' is a tired trope and I certainly don't think this fall was anything but inevitable. It was going to happen no matter what.

All the same, what do you think of Bitmex's place in all this? And what would the effects be when it eventually fades away?

Simple economics don't really come into play here. If they did things may look extremely different. Since it's pure speculation is it not the case that pure emotion drives this? Apart from a small number of users there is no economic use in play here and those users are nobodies compared to the traders batting the price around.

You betcha. I'll guess that's primarily money going to and from exchanges. We hardly hear a peep about actual expenditure these days and that's going to be become even rarer when people don't want to spend at all.

I don't think a hard fork will ever happen apart from the ones that deal with pure catastrophes. It's too late now. There are too many vultures circling too keen to throw a spanner in the works. One of the services the Bcashes has done us is to demonstrate what an utter shitshow it is when things are opened up to splintering.

https://forkdrop.io is the site you need to check whether you're eligible to claim Bitcoin forks. You're a little late, most are now worthless and many were always worthless. There might still be small amounts available from some.

I'm not sure there are many similar things for ETH, apart from ETC of course.

That's the first thing I'd check before heading into the utter cesspit of 'free' crypto.
