Hey I am only half serious.. you know; however, even though I agree with your overall sentiment that there is a certain level of disingenuous troll that is on a much higher plain... yet I cannot really defend jbreher in these regards, because in recent months, he seems to have become more desperate in his knocking of the seg wit complex, or whatever he calls it.

He fails and refuses to acknowledge the real bitcoin, even though he claims to be cold-storageing a vast majority of his holdings... bad talking and denigrating a coin that he mostly holds seems a bit counter-intuitive.. and really the fact of the matter is that bitcoin's value has gone up exponentially while Jbreher has doubled and tripled down on the bad mouthing and spouting scaling nonsense and suggesting that bitcoin is broken or needs to change more easily.. while seeming to fail and refuse to recognize that a lot of bitcoin's value comes from its difficultiness to be changed.. and the fact that the failure of the rogue hardfork of his buddies is part of the additional exponential growth of bitcoin in the past month or so... and jbreher seems to largely part of the group of saboteurs and anti-bitcoin plotters - even though ironically, as I already said, he proclaims to hold a large number of the buggers.. go figure.?

It's ONE company "GMO", and I believe their originally announced May 2018 timeframe was way optimistic.
They seem to have toned the timeframe back to "have working silicon in 2018" which sounds like they are targeting TAPE-OUT by the end of 2018 and might be a viable target (that would put actual PRODUCTION into 1Q or 2Q of 2019).

 They seem to have also had some bad timing on when to get involved, with the recent news out of China - unless China DOES in fact ban Bitcoin and it puts Bitmain/BW.COM/EBit and the other smaller Chinese miner makers out of business (Innosilicon will probably survive, they'll go back to being a custom design house like they were before they started doing Cryptocoin ASIC).

As long as they stay up I will start it back up.

I'm being damaged by this emotionally.

I think that several folks already made that suggestion.. .. it be call ---- thread take-over (with a payment)   

Notice how this whole massive pump really started around 3000 on 8/4.

Also notice how they are poised for a third leg down, probably dipping.... wait for it.... just below 3000.

Yep, massive whales pretty much caused this whole run up.

"They'll only run it up massively if they have a way to bring it back down just waiting in their back pocket."

hey, last of the V8s...I need sauce on long hold girl...for science
