... It's a quick sentiment check, and sentiment are bullish.  "And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” Are you Lucifer, or only a minion? |

Unless you ... know the guy who ...[signals] the top, the rest of us have no idea when these things start or finish.
Today that guy is Vitalik, Inc. |

I can easily afford to pay $10 once in a while to perform such operations. Third world problems are not my problems.
False analogy. There is no alternative to run a full node. There will be plenty of alternatives to transact bitcoins. My friend and I can each give up our full node and share in the cost of running a full node between us. |

If/when there is contention for space on the blockchain, there is a huge amount of room to grow by simply squeezing out the freeloaders. As it happens, they'll not be left homeless or forced to the alt-ville ghettos due to the development of subordinate chains which provide real Bitcoin power through a proxy and does not bloat the core chain and thus compromise the network or require a hard-fork and associated risk.
In other words, life is good! Just look at the price charts for confirmation. It is funny (and not very surprising) to see the likes of Coinbase desperate to reverse the goodness.
Squeezing out the freeloaders? I suppose that would include myself and many other users of Bitcoin, I pay fees but I would not be prepared to pay much larger fees if I can just use an alternative currency instead, Bitcoin does still need to compete. Who are you to say what is a legitimate use of the blockchain and what is not, we should allow as many people as possible to use the blockchain so that its benefits are felt by more people in the world. Third parties build on top of the Bitcoin blockchain do not have the same benefits as transacting on the main bitcoin blockchain directly, no thank you to using third parties on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, not for me at least. Fine then; go ahead move over to an alt for your latte purchases. I'll do mine on a sidechain and enjoy the solidity of real Bitcoin backing it without destroying the solution. Bloating Bitcoin right into the waiting arms of corp/gov so you can have some nebulous benefit of having a record of your piss-ant transaction recorded in every copy of the blockchain and in-perpetuity is beyond retarded. "My transaction is more important than your transaction" Soon to be on a bumper sticker in front of you. |

Neither the thread itself nor Veritas's post history show that quote bolded by brg44. Veritas did not say that.

Somebody's doin' some house cleaning in this thread because I just had a post deleted older than the one I'm quoting above and not as mundane. Deleting of old posts is another sign of the declining moral values in this country. Cybereuthanasia. I blame Jack Kevorkian.... and Vod. And for the record, that post appeared on a Thursdane, not a Mundane. |

Ask yourself how many potential users or businesses you have introduced to Monero today.
If the answer is 0 please log off bitcointalk and come back once your answer changes. YOU control the future of this currency. Do what needs to be done to advance adoption.
I used to talk up bitcoin some - interested listeners could find exchanges, buy bitcoin, find stuff to buy, etc - all while being only about as smart as I am (wallet from blockchain, BTC from localbitcoins, fun at Poloniex, etc). If I tried to talk up Monero, interested listeners would go where for an "easy" XMR wallet? (All my XMR are on Poloniex) Would acquire XMR how? (I get all my XMR at Poloniex). Would use XMR how? (I would have to transmit from my Poloniex account). Does XMR take a bigger, nerdier, more intense, time consuming hardware/software commitment than BTC does for everyday use? |

A pozni is a cryptocurrency scheme possibly intended to transfer value from the unwashed to the perpetrator by any number of ways - theft, rigged gaming, overvaluing a sale, etc.
Unlike a ponzi scheme, which is operated by a central controller to lure new investments to pay portions of impossibly high promised returns to old investors, a pozni is any other suspected cryptocurrency scam that is too hard to understand, describe, and/or summarize.
Don't understand the mechanics of a new cryptocurrency distribution? It's a pozni.
Unscrupulous devs victimizing "innocent" dreamers with vaporcoin? It's a pozni.
Some people get rich by honest, intelligent investing/development/luck, while other people don't due to bad timing, poor decisions, sloth? It's a pozni.

A new get-rich-quick offer shows up on bitcointalk. Is it a pozni? Here are some telltale signs:
1. The tokens being invested are not accepted at The Dollar Store, IHOP, or Bass Pro Shops.
2. Transactions cannot be confirmed in Internet Explorer or at AOL.
3. The currency is not mentioned by the journalists at CoinDesk.
4. 4Chan refers to all investors in the scheme as "milkbag toting 1337 slaves".
5. NY FINCEN refuses to regulate it.
6. Leroy Fodor adamantly declares it's not a Ponzi pozni. Please stay on-topic |

XT looks like a pozni to me.

Please XMR community/devs - don't let these changes turn XMR into a pozni!
