Just buy bitcoin. Buy as much as you can as fast as you can because it will go up forever until one bitcoin is worth a trillion dollars. You let me worrying about selling. You just buy and buy bitcoin until it hurts. Buy until you can’t afford food or a roof over your head.

It is kind of odd though that “Altcoin announcements” is the most active section of this forum by a 10x lead. Never mind that, you just keep buyin more with every paycheck you get until I can afford my new boat. LOL

Where is ol Phin these days? Haven’t seen him around for a while.

I don’t think bitcoin (in its current form) will ever disappear completely now because of several factors.

The Wall Street ETFs and investment futures conmen don’t care how fast the network is (in fact they are afraid to change it) because they don’t trade bitcoin, they trade futures. You buy or sell a futures contract based on whether you think bitcoin prices are headed up or down. Eventually, I expect the CME to create options on futures contracts: traders will be able to buy and sell “puts and calls,” the right to buy (a “call” option) or sell (a “put” option) a bitcoin futures contract at a particular price by a particular date. They don’t do anything to help bitcoin just as they don’t do anything to help orange pickers pick oranges just because they trade in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice.

The first bitcoin miners are holding roughly 40% of all bitcoins in existence. They want the bottleneck because that’s creating major price swings that generate the profit levels that allow them to sell out thousands of bitcoins with each swing upward. It drops they wait for new blood to enter the market then sell down slightly maximizing their profit. If the bottleneck was removed, evenly metered buying and selling would happen as bitcoins currency economy grew and bitcoins exchange rate would stabilize. That’s because the velocity of money increases price stability. Everyone on this forum subscribes to the quantity theory of money and completely abandons understanding the velocity. If you sold thousands of coins at that point the exchange rate would stabilize at the new lower exchange rate. The first bitcoins you sell would sell for much more than the last ones you sell. If you were one of the group of major holders sitting on millions of bitcoins, in this scenario the first coin you sell would make you $20,000 the last coin you sell would make you a dollar.

These two groups need to support the status quo. I’ve seen so many people on this forum look at the blocksize issue and fee issue with confusion and disgust because they fail to realize that bitcoin is the most manipulated commodity the world has ever seen. It’s that way for a reason, the people holding all the chips want it that way.

Every “get rich quick scheme” is always replaced by the next “get rich quick scheme”. Just give it time. Or better yet, try to be on the ground floor of the next one.

It’s not 70%, it’s more like 60%. Supposedly, only 21 million bitcoins are in existence (however invisible, digital and intangible that may be). It is said that a thousand early buyers of the digital coin own fully 40% of the world’s supply. (And I bet ya dozens of these bitcoin billionaires are drug smugglers, given that’s how bitcoin got its start.) You are betting on the honesty and integrity of drug dealers when you buy bitcoin as a long term investment.

Bitcoin investment contracts and ETFs are managed by professional Wall Street investment firms. They do nothing for bitcoin because they don’t buy and sell bitcoin. While they hold a quantity of bitcoin, that bitcoin never moves. They trade in futures, just like oranges or pork bellies. They don’t trade in orange futures by handing a bag of oranges back and forth on the trading floor! Be careful trusting and following what these investors do. They are out to make a fat stack of cash just like Bernie Madoff was. If one of them gets caught doing something unscrupulous bitcoins price will crash to zero pretty quick. Insider trading is illegal (just ask Coinbase), it’s easy to get caught and it’s very tempting. Be careful!

The American government can suck my dick. Is my opinion clear enough for you?

Any of them and I would like all the companies that have stopped accepting bitcoin to start up again. The top eCommerce companies are dropping bitcoin.

Bitcoin acceptance decreasing

I don’t think that can happen because fiat currency exchanges are regulated by the government in every country in the world. Most of them have government oversight by employees who’s only job is to monitor the exchange. BTCe and BitInstant (Charlie Shrem) were taken down by that oversight.

Don’t worry, if they are colluding to commit a crime then it won’t be long before they join the owners of BTCe in prison.

What do you have against fire departments, street lights, highways and grade schools? If we eliminate taxes are you going to pay for those things? No, you won’t because you’re a sociopath that hates society. The rest of us have to threaten you to make you pay your share. We do that by using taxes. LOL

You should try Gekko instead. It’s written in JavaScript and runs on Node.js. The best thing about it is it’s named after Gordon Gekko. LOL

Yes, because he wasn’t a very good C Coder and used the C++ standard library. That’s not to say it can’t be changed in the future with very little effort. That would fracture Bitcoin though and create two “bitcoins” confusing users and fucking bitcoin for all time so it’s very doubtful that would happen. If you’re a coder you should take a look at Blitz++. It’s pretty cool.

Let me worry about selling. You just buy and buy with every dollar you can get your hands on. Gutless pussies sell. Real men just keep buying until they bleed.

The island I’m planning on buying in the South Pacific with your money will have satellite internet. As soon as I get settled in on the island I’ll send you a PM telling you when it’s time to sell. For now you just keep buyin. LOL

I can’t wait to watch the great blockchain prize fight that’s going to happen between Ripple and Lightning networks.

Ripple uses blockchain technology, has its own token (XRP) and can be used to verify any type of transfer including existing banking transfers. Ripple has the support of big banking (like American Express, RBC, Westpac and The Bank of Tokyo) and can speed up existing transfer methods to keep current banking in power.

Lightning does not have its own blockchain technology but instead is a scripting language (special run-time environment that automates the execution of tasks), it requires the bitcoin blockchain (or some other blockchain) to survive but it does not use a blockchain for transactions. It only uses a blockchain for final proofing. Because of that is does not have its own token. It also does not have the support of current banking systems and has no large corporate sponsors with a vested interest in making it work. The major plus of lightning is if bitcoin fails or falters with the click of a keyboard it can use some other blockchain as its “enforcement” system. The downside is that major banking will likely never accept it a a payment system.

Ripple is truly the future. It’s hard to believe how many angel investors and venture capital investment professionals threw themselves behind Jed McCaleb. Ripple settles payments in 4 seconds and can perform 50,000 transactions a second. Jed McCaleb is going to be so rich.

I believe in any god that lets Josh Duggar use Ashley Madison to find fresh pussy to cheat on his fugly wife.



Seriously Josh, I know your sisters are hot and your wife is fugly but you can’t finger fuck your sisters even if god thinks it’s ok.

Cross-chain atomic swaps will help whatever cryptocurrency becomes the predominate one. Not just bitcoin. Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja are going to become famously wealthy regardless of which crypto wins. Congrats!

Hurry up and buy as much as you can right now because the price is falling and we need your fiat to prop it up. Buy buy buy

Good move on abandoning this thread. If you want to use crypto to help the children in your area then contact the Belarusian Children’s Fund (they have a street address, you can go there if your close enough) and convince them to accept all cryptos. Offer to help them set up the donations, figure out a place to get the fiat conversion for free (yes, that’s possible at several places for verified charities), help them with the website donation addresses and wallets. You can help in the way you want if you’re serious.

OK, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. I’ll also give you some free advice that will help you and keep you from wasting your time. Stop posting on this forum begging for money because the people here have been scammed too much over the last seven years and will never give you a dime. If you really are a humanitarian and care about these poor sick children then donate your time to the Belarusian Children’s Fund. If you continue to post here even after this warning then I know that you’re a fraud and a scammer.

Btw: government documents are easy to fake. Just ask any kid that’s used a fake ID to buy alcohol.

Of course it’s click bait BUT if the article was talking about “The Great Bitcoin Scam” and it was about how evil Butterfly Labs was or what a scumbag Mark Karpeles was everyone would cheer the author for his insight.

All of these idiot sig campaigners are not even reading the article and commenting on it so they can earn a little beer money. At least attempt to read it before you comment is all I’m sayin. Earn your beer money. Either that or they have the comprehension skills of a 10 year old.
