Total was 523 million XEM or 5.8% of total supply not 10%.

This article states around half have been sold for other coins.  But doesn't mean they were sold on exchanges.

Interesting is that Coincheck will drop privacy coins from their exchange, Monero, Dash, and Zcash.  Will others follow?



Realisitically that's more than 10% of what's circulating. Supernodes, developer and foundation funds must be several billion.

Am I alone in thinking that this is the true beginning of the demise of bitcoin?
 Undecided

Have you just bought this account?

Someone of your vintage should be exactly like this right now -

Looks like trust is not fully back in NEM or the hacker managed to dump more coins yesterday and today.

I'm still full bull on NEM, but this long price slump is hard on everybody.
How many NEM was held by this hacker?
If he can easily dump it to lower the price so much, how can NEM recover when people are worried about future dump all the time?

Over 500 million. The last time I saw a figure he still had over 220 million.

Google translate is not your friend.  Roll Eyes

Google is a great program, which shows small skills in this area in their language and affects overall. If you disagree with having a penis

Oh, fuck me. Off you lot go again.



I've definitely decided on my costume for the WO meet now. And I'll bribe the DJ to only play early period Matisyahu.
8406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 09:09:12 PM
I am from Antwerp, moved to Ghent in 2015. Always had a good time... . And lol, feeding them am, good one Grin

That certainly wasn't my intention. I thought fellas like that would have hyper tuned piggy spider senses so I assumed he gave himself a hall pass as we were filthy goyim.
8407  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 08:50:19 PM
What time were you in Antwerp?

Mid 90s. I was physically located there for around 18 hours before wandering off into Europe somewhere. The entire two and a half years there would not have been appetising to me.

I was young and juicy and anything seemed possible in those gilded times, but not in Antwerp. I was whisked away deeper into Europe by some Orthodox Jews to whom I'm partially responsible for feeding some ham.
8408  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 08:30:28 PM
So we going to get one of those weekend pumps instead of dump?

Edit:  Genesis Capital has lent over $100 million in crypto to bears.

Are these people on drugs? You can't ask for 1 satoshi on this forum in lending with full collateral without someone shitting down your neck with pure derision.
8409  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Mt. Gox dude won't let Bitcoin prices rise on: March 16, 2018, 08:06:45 PM
Why do people keep acting like he's just another bearwhale? He's employed by the court. The court decides.

The necessary amount of money to pay everyone back has now been raised. He will not be permitted to dump anything else. His job is done on that front. All the remaining coins have not had their future settled.

The most likely outcomes are either they all go back to Gox shareholders or they're distributed to the victims. Neither requires this bloke to sell anything, nor will he have the right to.

That's where an exotic wife comes very handy.

I once went to Antwerp for the weekend and returned two and a half years later. I'm content to live in tents and caves, most of my clothing is older than many of the people on this forum and no one may hear from me for months on end.

I don't think a wifey of any strain would put up with any of that. I think my ideal marriage of convenience would have to be a Filipino sailor as he'll be away for months on end and will take the money and leave me alone. I dunno whether I'm allowed to marry one though. If there's a female sailor then all the better but I'm not fussed. It's pure business.

The thing is I am not specifically against taxes. I am against the inefficient usage they do with our taxes. Taxes are needed, irresponsible spending of public funds absolutely NOT. That's what we should fight against.... but it is a lost battle unfortunately.

Once you accept that someone can extort money from you -for any reason-, there is no limit to your enslavement.
But if you are fine with it, good for you. Me, I opt out, with any means necessary.

I haven't opened a letter from the tax man in over two decades so I've no idea what he thinks of me these days. They get binned if they manage to find an address to send to. I also own pretty much nothing and no longer even have a mobile phone number, let alone a real one.

I presume coming in from the cold will involve men with torches on the end of their shooters coming to visit. Or I could just pick up my one bag of filth, go abroad and never return.

Once. I did it once when I was 12 years old. This was pre-internet days; a dial-up BBS meet-up in the 80s.

Wow was that awkward. These guys were NOTHING like I imagined from their online personas. Granted, I was pretty fucking naive.

Some things are just better left imagined.

So it sounds like you were one of the first humans in history to be groomed online. Summat to tell the grandkids.
8413  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 02:57:09 AM

 I was involved in arranging/attending a BBS party and it was pretty cool.  The difference being that everyone resided within the local calling codes of the BBS.  What was most surprising was that there were no surprises.  Even though we were anonymous and had nicknames, people were pretty much the same as their online personas.  I left the party a little too early though because apparently i missed Rapunzel's table dance.   Cry  If i remember correctly, she was the resident cat lady; an eccentric artist.


On one hand that's reassuring. On the other if people are the embodiment of their online persona, in more than a few cases that is... not.

I just saved all of your lives. You'll thank me some day.

Maaaaan. How did my dad find his way to this forum?

He's a cross dresser too? Can you hook me up?

Party popper detected!!

Now you've dissed me I will tuck this slight away, wait for your meet, turn up incognito as a cocktail waitress and scratch your eyes out.

See what I mean?
8416  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 02:19:52 AM
Make it on Las Vegas during summer and I'm sold. Probably the only place in the world that could stand the assorted and extravagant bunch of us celebrating that awesome milestone in the most extreme and extravagant ways Smiley

Maybe we could even hire the Vodoo Lounge at the Rio (51st floor) just for our party.

Does anyone here have any experience of internet meets? I have a sneaking feeling they'd be fucking horrifying. And for some of the longstanding members there must be people with grudges against them out there, let alone blown opsec with wallet balances being linkable.

I'll send an actor. Or a cat.

Man, you're ever such a hard worker. I hope someone's paying you for all this effort.
8418  Other / Off-topic / Re: When did you start "liking" the taste of beer ? on: March 16, 2018, 02:12:49 AM
I think it's all absolutely repulsive. I can't believe anyone would ever take a sip of any of it and feel any type of refreshment whatsoever. Same goes for all alcohol but there are a few that are bearable. I don't drink no more so it's not my problem.
8419  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 16, 2018, 02:07:01 AM
Looks to me like a completely centralised shitcoin. They(mos) even fucked up the generation algo.

Looks like a lot of hard work to me. I've still got loads left and I'm not a source. I'd be mortified and start cracking up under the strain if I had to get rid of several hundred per month. There aren't enough posts that arouse me.


We should have a WO meetup some time. Maybe we can have an IRL celebration when BTC hits $100K haha.

Are we not all lonely three letter agency computers looking to reach and touch on the sly? I think I am.
8420  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bubble 'just about to burst,' major money manager says on: March 15, 2018, 12:45:58 PM
He means the bubble has a whole breaking, not just our usual retracement. Think on a large-frame logarithmic scale regressing multiple orders of magnitude.

I don't see how we can have our final 'fatal' bubble without mom and pop putting junior's college and Daddy's sex change fund in via their broker and then all committing suicide. This geezer is very premature in calling time on our absolutely 100% certain demise.

A lot of money that arrived is dumb. It's far from the dumbest yet. There's still a huge amount of friction to overcome.
