How do you 'give up an assumption'? And 'interlocutor'?  I am certain Stolfi understood. If you didn't, I suggest you complete basic schooling. I think (through your mangled english) you were trying to say that you have changed your opinion or your view. An assumption either is or it isn't. See? You are clearly not as educated as Mr. Stolfi, so can I respectfully advise you dont try to fight him on an intellectual level. You just come across as being a fool. Might I suggest instead you stick to your more basic verbal insults, name calling and ad-hominem attacks. They suit you better. |

no, I simply gave up the assumption you were a rational interlocutor, which makes discussion with you pointless. in addition it is quite evident you use this and other fora to deploy obsessive and egocentric aspects of your personality, aiming to ensnare others in your head game. in fact, you satisfy at least 10 of the following 14 long-established troll criteria: http://pluperfecter.blogspot.com/2011/08/14-characteristics-of-classic-internet.htmlconclusion: ignore. How do you 'give up an assumption'? And 'interlocutor'? So many big words used in the sentence, yet you still come off as being a little simple. |

Do you have tenure?
The system here is different from the American one, but yes, I have tenure and I already got all the promotions that I could have in my career as teacher/scientist. I could try running for university president, but there are too many profs here who know me already, so my chances of being elected by accident would be pretty slim.  You can never answer the real question: What is your motive for your extreme interest in bitcoin? (Always with your negative slant) Because JS won't answer your question I will. His extreme interest, always with a negative slant, is a combination of: a) Extreme butt-hurt at not buying when the BTC price was $1, and can't stand seeing free-market libertarians making such easy money, so he wants it to crash to near zero, not so that he can buy cheap, but to see all BTC holders brutally punished for their hubris. b) His inflationista perspective which rejects a Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrency-based world economy which would make all governments have to run balanced budgets, reining in Big Government, the massive socialist states, nanny-states, and surveillance states. Ha ha! I do hope that was meant to be sarcastic, in which case it is a work of comic genius. Or you could just be serious, in which case we have another retard to add to the list. |

The Greeks are buying in. Trying to convert and hide their wealth.

Chinese markets were very flat this morning. I thought there would be a buy in at least, or a more remote possibility of a sell off.
Bids are mounting on finex, but still the price just dogs on.

Massive support at 218-200, good time to buy if you still got fiat.. Also a Grexit is getting more and more likely, if this will happen it would be a big boost for Bitcoin.
Do you really reckon that's going to happen? I think the EU leaders will do everything in their power to avoid than scenario. Also, even Greece doesn't really want to get out of the Euro zone. Even if they left, they can't just decide to break off of the world economy. It they don't do their best to get their economy back on track, they'll be getting themselves into serious trouble, I guess... If even a small percentage of Greeks' wealth or whatever is left of it is converted to bitcoin, then that will be noted quite well in a march upwards in price. They aren't going to buy off the grid but on exchange. This could be an epic front run. And again I ask, with what are they buying bitcoin with? Feta? tzadziki? goats? I mean, is there even a GOAT/BTC rate? Greeks are flat broke. They will do whatever the ones with the money tell them to do. |

>50% troll posts a page. the good old times are back.
yeap, we are 5 % closer to the double digits, trolls talking about 300 on a 4 $ bounce... same old same old. Oh so now the trolls are the bitcoin enthusiasts on a bitcoin enthusiast forum? Huh... funny how that works out. Anyways I bought a heap of cheap coins early this week, should have waited until today, but oh well. It won't matter when the next bull run initiates. Stating the obvious is not trolling. We are clearly making more money when price goes in pump/dump cycles than you ever will with a "buy high and hodl" approach. "cheap coins"?? Surely a $0.00 is the 'cheapest' you are gonna get. |

FUUUU Prices are falling like a stone in the water
Sub 200 this time?
I doubt it. For a few months this has turned into a pump dump pump dump never ending story. I had a buy in at 214 that got filled. hold it till 238 again i suppose. |

Another big sell off. Down to 214.60

12h PSAR flipped to bearish on Bitfinex and BTC-E and very close to flip on Bitstamp and BTCChina.
Sometimes, when it looks too bearish, it's actually bullish. Just sayin' And sometimes if it looks mildly bearish, it's just a prelude of crashes. 12h PSAR flipped to bearish on all exchanges, also 1d PSAR flipped, so we're not going up significantly for a while. In a market this small and illiquid, we are going up when someone decides to buy lots of BTC, and going down when people decide to sell lots of BTC. In 4 years of watching BTC prices, have yet to see any chart predict any of BTCs large moves. That just about summarises the market. Its not going anywhere for a while. There is no major upswing in public adoption, just some gamblers having fun on regular 5% up/down swings. And during all this fun, not one new thing has ben done to bitcoin to address its shortcomings with respect to ease of use, security, regulation or image. Unless someone or something comes along soon and takes bitcoin behind a bush and gives it a good shag, its going to rattle along like this until the gamblers get bored and move on to the next disruptive technology. |

If I understand your philosophy re: Bitcoin, there is only 'the worst': Either Bitcoin will fail on its own defects, or some government(s) will destroy it, if it works as designed. Is that a fair summation of your position?
As it says in my signature, I cannot imagine a plausible future where bitcoin will be successful. I see many ways in which it could fail, those are two of them. The more I read, the more skeptical I become. Then again, the question on everyone's mind: why the F-- are you here, in the Bitcoin spec forum. Day. After. Day. After. Day. After. Day. After. Day. You believe that you can change the minds of a few longs that MIGHT happen across your posts? Most of your readers are gonna be a few day traders and trolls. That's it. C'mon dude, the majority of bitcoin believers in the world don't even speak or read English. They certainly wouldn't spend most of their time here, hanging on your every word. So you are wasting your breath and everyone's time. Go write some dissenting blogs, articles, white papers, something other than trolling this spec sub. If bitcoin is to succeed, then these points must be argued against. But that rarely happens. The poster will be simply called a troll, a few ad hominen attacks on him and then put on a stupid, pointless ignore list. The sad thing is that even the most rabid bitcoiners find it difficult to string a few words together into a logical argument to defend bitcoin. Thats what worries me most. |

Looks like Gavin and core devs about to upgrade to the penthouse suite: https://twitter.com/gavinandresen/status/590884520318078976Get out from the Bitcoin Foundation shack and into the 5 star MIT estate. No more cup o noodles and tuna fish for the core devs. Lobster and New England Clam Chowdah babee!!! This is not good for bitcoin as we know it now. As an independent 'outsider' technology it has failed to survive. Media labs have effectively 'poached' the top devs from bitcoin. This failure of the BF to keep the whole show together wil undoubtedly lead to a schism within the development community. It looks like Bitcoin2.0 is now inevitable in the near future. |

Nothing failed at 300. Bull whales could have pushed us through easily.
What you think the price is going down forever because a line on a chart points down?
and short covering back up into the high 2xx's and then a push to end the bear market exponential trendline.
Nothing failed at 300? Ooooookkkaayy. Explain that to me again??? If you are going to say mad things, at least try and be consistent!! |

. There’s a strange logic at work here. Even if it were possible to do so through chat transcripts that don’t implicate Force or Bridges, and even if a court were to find that no entrapment occurred, it doesn’t change the fact that none of this would have happened without Bridges’s misconduct I think I made that point earlier on in this thread, but legal opinion seemed to discount it. How bizarre. |

I had expected a much bigger panic to follow okcoin's 'patch update' issues, but things were remarkably controlled.
Or was it that the yanks were in still in bed? ( kraken had a few green candles during, go figure)

He got me in the moral outrage. That's my weakness  Hey, there;s a first. The word "Moral" has been used in a post without even the slightest hint of irony!! Maybe we have turned a corner.... |

This is an embarrassment to us all. I have no words  Seems like Elwar timed it right No kidding... Quoted article was from last october, no?  |

Thats a great reminder. bitcoinmarket was the rising start of the time. Invitation, anyone? |

Not sure I've seen this thread so dead.
Even the bears are bored.
Everyone's on the new forum xD (but you gotta pay to join!) I've read about it - Elwar's 'big' news. Load of crap. Count me out.  What is it and why do I need it? Much Ado About Nothing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1025782.0Yeez Louise! Am I the only one who got backflashes from Bioshock reading that? A barge full of rich people in international waters. I wonder what pirates will make of that. Funny thing is, ethereum would probably be better suited for the forum he's proposing. He thinks trolls have no money. What a quaint idea  It will be interesting to see who decides to use that forum though. I dont know, but I'm putting in a HUGE bid for the kool-aid concession. |
