Also defunding the Left is leading us into a real civil war. Shit will turn much more violent soon. When their $ spigot is turned off, people become desperate.

The cancer of misallocating resources and the type of “men” raised to perpetuate it until there are no more resources:

I asked my mom if we could stop and take a closer look. She pointed to the barbed wire fence that stood in our way, and my eye was drawn down the entire length of the barricade. It went on forever, separating the road from the entire river. Not far off, there was a small driveway that travelled over the river and up to a stately manor in the woods.

My face screwed up in confusion as I said, self righteously, “You can’t own a river! That’s not fair!”

“That’s my son.” My mom replies, proudly.



I was around 9 years old when I first heard about the Boy Scouts. Camping?! Learning how to make knots?! Campfires?! S’MORES?! I had no idea such a club even existed, and I was thrilled. When I thought about my chances of joining, I reflected on how often my mom wanted me to do more extracurricular activities. Anything to get me out of the house and out from under foot.

After school, Ninja Turtle backpack bouncing wildly, I bounded up to my mom in excitement and began listing reasons why I absolutely needed to be a Boy Scout. “S’mores,” I said. “S’mores!!”

“Do they let girls join?” was my mom’s question.

Silly mom. “No! It’s called BOY scouts, mom!”

“Then no, Andrew. I’m sorry.”

Dejectedly, backpack dragging on the ground, I went to my room to try and learn knots by myself.

Reading the other answers to that question will quickly educate all of you about why civil war is coming to the USA.

The left is determined to destroy all the resources by transferring money from the productive males to the females who destroy male productivity and waste resources.



So I'm more about marriage being the place where males and females really work together in perfect sync for child rearing. Its whats meant to been. I don't buy its just the Men losing out in this...in fact feminism is an attack on natural desires and urges of 95% of woman. A lot of middle-aged bitter women in the west now with shrivelled up ovaries knocking back white wine alone at night swamped in their sorrow.

You know Asia. In Korea women have the power, holding the family and purse strings of husband tight. Women in the West have really given up their power base. imo. The amount of times I see middle class women in coffee shops chilling with others moms and talking about micromanaging their kids education and spending their husbands money. If reincarnation happens I want to come back as an attractive Korean woman....easy life.

There is no such thing as marriage being a place where males and females work together in perfect synergy for child rearing. That works for a while, maybe even until the kids grow up a bit, but ultimately most females succumb to the options they have available to them now. Men waste their best years on a woman, only to be fucked over at some point. Women are there for hypergamy and then after their child bearing years to continue spend other people’s money like drunken fucking sailors and fuck up the society with nonsense.

To the extent that Korea is a maternalistic clusterfuck, then they too will collapse. A male dominated Caucasian society could obliterate them in the knowledge age, but the Caucasians are too busy destroying themselves. Korea was a very poor rural country until just a recent several decades, so what worked for them in that rural society is carrying over as they go middleclass probably somewhat analogously to the transformation of the USA in the 1900s, but look how we ended up now. Of course in the initial decades of industrialization, the ill social effects have not yet entirely destroyed the society as the case now in the West. This is why the East is rising and the financial capitals will move from London and New York to China and Singapore.

Religion has not kept the Caucasians competitive and did not help them maintain their dominance and control of their females. Religion thus does not seem to be a solution. Religion was a scattershot paradigm of trying to keep the average males in tow. But the knowledge age may not need the average males. We cast them into the soup of the clusterfucked NWO society. I am not speaking about God, but about religion here.

There is absolutely no way to protect women from everything and not destroy the natural incentives that men and women need in order to successfully maintain K strategy reproduction. The women marry the State when they marry a man, and they lose all their fear. Without fear, a woman does not need a man. She may for a while be enamoured with his status, but that will fade and she will move on to “discover herself”.

Any “man” who wants to protect all women, is a destroyer of everything. And he is not a man in my opinion. Protect you own woman and your own daughters from men you do not approve up. If you try to protect other men’s women, then you have destroyed society.

Men fuck around. They beat women. They are violent. And nature needs that, which is why women are attracted to that. Destroy that, and you destroy all your resources. Which is what is happening to the West now.

Again there is a biological reason that men should attempt to fuck around (and get stymied by men who protect their own woman and daughters) but women should have great fear when they do attempt to fuck around.

Again. If you try to protect all women instead of letting individual men protect some women (and thus all women losing fear of men), then what you get is the clusterfuck described in the above linked essays. Also women need to need men and need violent men to capture and “rape” them, because this how evolution maximally evolves. That is why women have a hypergamy instinct. Why do you think the emasculated men and the women of Europe are welcoming the rapefugees. The men have to compete to protect the women, but the betamales want to protect all women as a way of insuring they keep some women away from the alphamales, but that just clusterfucks the society and end up with wannabee Jeremy Meeks type of PUA fucking the women until they are old and childless and entirely wasted.

In the meantime Dan is building scalable blockchains with governance systems that are years ahead of any "competition" while others cling to the past and are showing their envy with FUD, no, FUD is not the right word, BS is!

Governance = centralized clusterfuck, due to the political-economics science of voting. Thus not Internet scalable. Transaction volume scaling is not the only facet of scaling.

Here is a key example wherein a whale can cause censorship:

UPDATE: We have @chryspano a whale-dolphin at Steem abusing the downvoting feature to censor the images and my entire blog post at Steem is now hidden (so much for the power of decentralization when the blockchain is overlorded by whales). Note the busy.org rendering of my blog page is still intact as that site apparently doesn’t enforce Steemit’s whale-controlled censorship.

The entire fucking point of the game theory of Bitcoin is to be immutable and remove governance. Now we await to see if the SegWit “pay to anyone” booty will be stolen with a long-range chain attack restoring the immutability of Bitcoin, or if the game theory failed.

What is the use case of the new Dtube app for Steem is the whales can censor content the same as Youtube is?

What is the use case of the new Dtube app for Steem if the whales can censor content the same as Youtube is? Of course someone else could create an app for Steem which does not rank content by voting (or at least does not allow content to be entirely hidden by whale voting), but the whales ultimately are in control of the block producers who decide what goes on the blockchain, so there comes a time when the government pressures them the same as they are pressuring Youtube to censor data.

With a non-permissionless system of block producers, those with the most stake can not be replaced. Who is going to give away their stake.

There are fundamental insoluble issues with proof-of-stake.



I'm would like to read your white paper - sounds super interesting. Can you link me to it? (Note: sorry if it's already been shared upthread or elsewhere. I'm a newb and probably missed whatever original post you made sharing the Github link or other posting location of the paper)

Considering your derogatory comment to me upthread, do you think I am stupid enough to release my technology before it is launched so that EOS or Vitalik can copy it.

EDIT: I note you asked me about Urbit after that, so perhaps that prior comment was just joke. In any case, decided not to release the technology until after launch. We’re not preselling tokens to speculators and are not attempting to build a community of speculators to give us some speculation and capitalization market advantage, thus we must keep our technology closed until we have gained an insurmountable adoption advantage. Then we will open source everything. Users do not care about the technological details any way. Apologies if I am not really in the mood either for pleasantries in this thread.

Will eos be the token for eos storage? Or will eos storage have a new token?

As far as I know you can just stake some EOS tokens and get an amount of space to store your data.

This exemplifies the fraud of zero transaction fees.

There is no free market competitive process?

Who decides how much the storage providers are paid? Governance right? Well as we know, governance is a power vacuum always captured by those who can steal the most from the collective via kickbacks and such.

This is why governance does not Internet scale. Ian Grigg is incorrect.

These are very difficult problems to solve. Perhaps insoluble. Humanity has been dealing with this insoluble problem of coordination power vacuum since the inception of civilization. That is why Vitalik, myself, and others have been researching these matters for years.

Dan rushes with an adhoc system which does not really solve the fundamental issues of decentralization. That is fine. But please do not lie.

Re: Will Bitcoin Cash replace BTC after the Fork?

In my opinion it's very unlikely that BitcoinCash(BCH) will kick out Bitcoin(BTC) out of the first spot. Theoretically possible, but very unlikely. Even so, if BitcoinCash(BCH) were to beat Bitcoin(BTC), I'm sure it wouldn't happen after the Segwit2x fork. It would take lots of lots of years of convincing people to use BitcoinCash(BCH).

There is a scenario where SegWit (1x and 2x both) entirely dies and BTC (Satoshi’s protocol) is restored:

The entire fucking point of the game theory of Bitcoin is to be immutable and remove governance. Now we await to see if the SegWit “pay to anyone” booty will be stolen with a long-range chain attack restoring the immutability of Bitcoin, or if the game theory failed.

Click the link in the quote above for more details.

The question is would BCH with 8MB blocks be the version of Satoshi’s protocol (i.e. no Core BIPs) restored, or would it be the one with 1MB blocks.

The entire point is that if you want to improve Bitcoin, then make an airdrop with replay protection and let the market decide. That is a decentralized paradigm. Do not hijack Satoshi’s protocol as some privileged centralized tyranny and try to force it to disappear as Core did.

That is why I was screaming to buy BCH at $300. And everybody looked at me like I was a kook and looney, same as when I was screaming to buy LTC at $6.


BTC is king forever and there is no place to another king.

BTC is Satoshi’s protocol. SegWit is a “pay to anyone” insecure altcoin.


Bitcoin cash will not replace bitcoin. We can speculate all we want but we all know that bitcoin has taken root downward and it will be impossible to undone all bitcoin has achieved over the year!

See my prior post. You are not factoring in the eventual $billions of SegWit booty available to miners who revert BTC to Satoshi’s protocol.

Money talks. UAHF bullshit walks. Whales understand that if we allow Core or anyone to mutate Bitcoin without a decentralized market process, then Bitcoin will be just another altcoin.

Sorry I think you are dead wrong. And you will lose all you BTC to theft by the miners because you are not paying attention.

trying to understand the segwit theft - bitcoin is so centralized that if a chain reorg would happen core team / blockstream would tell all exchanges and large operators to stop trading and issue a patch that would have "official" block hashes of the last known "good chain" (think they are called snapshots), this would undo the thefts right? and cause massive losses to the mining cartel that has mined a long chain for nothing

1. The miners may have been sending BTC to exchanges to sell it, so they could possibly double-spend this BTC with the long-range chain reorganization and bankrupt the exchanges who attempt to fight the miners. Thus exchanges who want to survive will honor that the protocol is the law and not the centralized tyranny of Core-is-the-law. Miners can offer to share this loot taken from defecting exchanges, with other key players.

2. I presume millions of BTC whales understand that if centralized tyranny is the law, then Bitcoin is worthless as any other shitcoin. Thus whales will fully support the SegWit theft. We will probably get SegWit on Litecoin for offchain scaling and big blocks on BCH for onchain scaling, although neither of those will totally scale. Bitcoin will remain the immutable one-world reserve currency for whales that it was designed to be.

Bottom line is that the SegWit “pay to anyone” loot is an eventual $billions fundraising to pay for the immutability enforcement of Bitcoin.

Whoever created Bitcoin was a genius and had thought carefully the game theory.

daniweb & Lyd, correct that pegs have tradeoffs and are not long-term stable. They create opportunity costs to destroy the peg by extracting value out of other facets. This can be examined formally with math.

The only solution I can see is to create a paradigm in which users do not care about the volatility. This is primarily why speculator coins are never going to be widely adopted systems.

That is one of the reasons I wrote upthread that EOS can talk the hype and even have a $2 billion war chest, but it does not mean they can necessarily solve the underlying free market opportunity costs which have prevented widespread adoption.

The dickhead (not referring to Dan, unless he is a sockpuppet troll here) is going to learn something about reality soon[within a few months].

Furthermore, I (claim I) solved the problem of how to do a million+ transactions per second, entirely decentralized, no voting, no proof-of-work, no proof-of-stake, back in Q4 2016 when I wrote 30+ page white paper. My recent blog which afaics strongly evidences that Dan is not thoroughly qualified, was excerpted from that white paper.

Vitalik is finally getting closer to my design as I have taken so long to get my design to release. But afaik he is not quite there yet.

Because the dickhead keeps slandering my coding performance over the past couple of years, I want to set the record straight on this matter. I tried to ignore it, but he continues repeating this point beating me over the head with my chronic illness debacle. Because he is evidently an absolute scumbag similar to @DecentralizeEconomics. I would have preferred to settle the issue privately with him, but he is too much of a faggot (keyboard warrior so brave hiding behind the network) to face me in person man-to-man, so therefore I will set the record straight in public.

The only thing that stopped me from releasing it earlier in 2017 was because I was undergoing a 6+ month antibiotic treatment for disseminated tuberculosis which was so toxic to my liver which in turn was so neurotoxic (the meds are known to kill 0.02% of those over age 50 due to liver toxicity and 2% can not even finish the antibiotic regimen due to liver toxicity, additionally my liver was already beat up for having the active form of the illness for so many years prior) that I could not maintain the concentration and mental energy to code. I battled this problem every day for years. It was (perhaps still is) a debacle which words can not adequately describe.

Liver toxicity combined with auto-immunity (because the immune system is attacking the body tissues infected with the disseminated bacteria) mimics the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (because the endocrine system gets messed up), and this can mean severe brain fog, chronic fatigue (meaning not enough energy to tie shoes), and numerous other symptoms. The closest most of you have experienced to this, is drinking a bottle of Tequila (including the worm) and being totally shitfaced hungover with dry heaves in the bathtub the next day. Now imagine that condition for years. Would that make you irritable?

And then there was a several month recovery process.

All those investing in EOS long-term be forewarned. I am probably going to destroy your investment. Short-term FOMO speculation I can not impact.

Good luck.

(And no, I am not short EOS. And no I am not promoting my project, as I am not even going to announce it on BCT. I am forced to write something to correct lies of the dickhead. No choice).

I have created million user software all by myself in the past such as one of the first easy-to-use, drag+drop WYSIWYG web page editors Cool Page which had ~1% market share of the entire Internet in 2001. As well, I am one of the early co-devs of what is now Corel Painter (not Paint), the first that simulated the physics of natural paints and media and pressure. I have worked with for example Lee Lorenzen who created Ventura Publisher, one of the worlds first WYSIWYG desktop publishing software back at the time of that revolution in the late 1980s before Aldus PageMaker and Adobe Photoshop. I even created one of the first such software in the late 1980s named (Neocept) WordUp, but for the Atari ST. I did not switch careers from an entirely unrelated industry just to get into blockchain development. I have been a computer programmer and computer scientist all my life starting at age 13 in 1978. Was a contractor for EOS Photomodeler in 1996 and created the 3D Viewer and some 3D import/export formats, before I created my Art-O-Matic software and then Cool Page after that. Then after making a lot of money on Cool Page, I basically retired until I got interested in blockchains, because I had not found anything to work on that interested me sufficiently and which could make a world impact. Also because my life took a mid-life crisis dive in my 40s (some destructive quagmires I got snarled in due to choice of a wife and I guess we can say wanderlust/disgust with USA culture at the time), which is the reason for the health problems and eventual poverty (by 2013/4) which I ended up (coupled with an illness that prevented me from working effectively), which I am now climbing out of.

I am going to make you STFU dickhead. Most likely, as @DecentralizeEconomics has done due to his failure of judgement, incorrect slandering of me, and subsequent failure & embarrassment, you will crawl into a cave and disappear.

In fact, if I had not had disseminated Tuberculosis from 2012 - 2017 (but did not even know what disseminated TB was and thought I had Multiple Sclerosis because the symptoms were similar), I would have produced software in our crypto industry many years ago. Many times over those years I thought maybe my health was improving (because it turns out that high dose vitamin D3 spurs the immune system to fight back), but then it relapsed (because the TB bacteria will lay dormant to hide then re-emerge) and I did not realize I had a disseminated (meaning not confined to the lungs, but also in the lymph nodes, gut, possibly brain, etc) bacterial infection. It was not until January 2017 that I was diagnosed. I was there discussing the technology with them since 2013. Charles Hoskinson offered to create a project with me before he approached Vitalik to create Ethereum. And that was when he told me what Dan did to him, but I encouraged him to create another project and not be downbeat. And no I will never repeat what he told me to anyone. It is private. But I refused because the technology was not yet mature. But those guys (Dan included) wanted to rush and release something before they had developed the technology. I had even warned Charles that Turing complete contracts on a blockchain would lead to some sort of DAO attack. And I refused to get involved in selling an ICO in 2014 and all that noise. I told him I was not ready and to go ahead without me. Also I knew I was sick, but not as sick in 2013/4 as I became in 2015/6. Note Charles has subsequently pointed out in public that he was against the ICO and wanted Ethereum to take investment from venture capitalists instead.

I am not like that. I do not sell hype. I create solid technology and products.

Just to set the record straight on your lies dickhead.

Actually I had always thought that Dan was genuine but just a bit weird/myopic in terms of his design choices and political-economic philosophy. But the premeditated sneakyfastmine of Steem (wherein he wrote a blog in advance announcing they would do that) to grab 50+% of the money supply for an oligarchy of whales caused me to start to doubt whether he was innocuous. But then I realized he did not have much choice because DPoS does not function properly with chaos in voting (he was frustrated the Bitshares governance was not working correctly to approve funding for some of the things he wanted to be worked on) and must be controlled by a like-minded group of whales. And Steem was somewhat interesting because it was the first experiment for onboarding the masses. And the first with a front-end interface and use case outside of just a wallet. So I rolled with it and used the lessons learned (such as my blog mathematically figuring out that voting from minted tokens of the collective can never be fair and must aggregate to the whales) there to guide my project plans. But the $2 billion “useless token” sale and all this distortion of the material facts while ridiculing others in the industry is way over the top and has lowered my respect for Dan even further into the gutter.

Personally I got interested in decentralized ledgers (decentralized coordination) because I wanted to try to see if we could change the structure of the world, not right back to same ole shit. Wallstreet, money, governments, and corruption. EOS appears to be knee deep in that shit.

No problem with competition. Competition is good. But all the lying and slandering of reputations of others is abhorrent. We do not need that kind of shit in our industry. We need to compete and find the best solutions for decentralization.

I am not slandering Dan. I am writing factually. Dickheads are not writing factually about me. Thus the necessity of this post.

And to reiterate, what really set me off was @chryspano claiming that I am subservient to Dan, just because I was a blogger on Steemit as if I work for them (the hierarchy of whale oligarchy in Dan’s kingdom blockchain projects). Lol. In your dreams, mofo.

sladering your superior doesn't earn you any credibility points

Cut out the crap, I was teaching and refuting @bytemaster (aka Daniel Larimer) on these forums back in 2013/2014 way before he became a big time scammer doing premeditated illegal securities issuance.

And let’s not forget my blog and a companion BCT thread urging going all in on BTC when it was ~$600. And the screaming all over the forums to buy LTC at $6 because it was going to $50, then $100, which caused a ban. And what did LTC do? It went to $50 and then $80 (where I sold and repurchased at $40s) and now it is going to $100 - $150. They key there was selling at $60 (on the bounce from $40s) and buying BTC on dip at $4000 with the proceeds (which btw I did not do even though I thought about it, bcz I was busy on other more important matters and because I had not yet time to sort out my thinking on the timing of any possible SegWit booty theft attack, but I did sell some at $60 for BCH). As for Steem, I cashed out as much as possible at $4. Looks to me that @chryspano is still holding bags which I may send to zero price (although chart wise, looks like Steem might have another huge move up which presumably would be due to its first mover established marketshare and perhaps some key change that will be made such as partnership with a major social network?, but not certain).

Remember anything can happen during competition. The best laid plans of mice and men can be disrupted and this can cut both ways.

But there is no need to be lying about material facts. Compete on the merits not sleazy.

In the meantime Dan is building scalable blockchains with governance systems that are years ahead of any "competition" while others cling to the past and are showing their envy with FUD, no, FUD is not the right word, BS is!

Governance = centralized clusterfuck, due to the political-economics science of voting. Thus not Internet scalable. Transaction volume scaling is not the only facet of scaling.

The entire fucking point of the game theory of Bitcoin is to be immutable and remove governance. Now we await to see if the SegWit “pay to anyone” booty will be stolen with a long-range chain attack restoring the immutability of Bitcoin, or if the game theory failed.

What is the use case of the new Dtube app for Steem is the whales can censor content the same as Youtube is?

Responding with cartoons and ad-hominems does not speak well for the credibility of this project.

It’s contagious:  Cheesy (self-deprecating humor)





3 fucking years and Dan can’t even write a proper fucking white paper for DPoS.

Three. Fucking. Years.

Not 1.5 years. Three fucking years. Can not even write a white paper, in 3 fucking years. Actually 3.5 years, because DPoS was announced during April 2014.

And Dan has not been battling disseminated Tuberculosis for 3+ fucking years.

The dickhead (not referring to Dan, unless he is a sockpuppet troll here) is going to learn something about reality soon[within a few months].

I would not invest long-term in BTC right now unfortunately because there is an obscure risk of BTC obtained after August being stolen in a long-range chain reorganization funded by SegWit “pay to anyone” booty:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2259054.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2268216.0

Also as others have suggested, mining is a very difficult game to win, because it’s locked up by the big boys who get first access to the newest most efficient ASICs, the free electricity in China, etc..

Also others are correct that we are closer to some sort of topping and crash in the crypto markets than we were earlier this year. No one knows exactly when or if the next crypto winter is coming, but our sector is overheated and already in a bubble. Yet it could go higher still (and probably will especially at least for altcoins which are currently lagging behind BTC and should probably catch up).

Also do not listen to anyone trying to tell you which of their shitcoins to invest in. Everybody wants you to invest in the same bags as them.

My suggestion is play it safe and only invest in proof-of-work altcoins and avoid all ICO issued altcoins like the plague. Both because another shoe could drop at any time w.r.t. to securities law enforcements and because there are 1200 ICOs and they are all way over hyped shitcoins (at least 90% of them will go to zero):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2361685.msg24087072#msg24087072

So basically buy XMR, LTC, etc...

However, I caution you that when you have a double or triple in these, then take profits and wait for safe time to re-enter Bitcoin after the SegWit crap has been removed from Bitcoin or there is some clarity on the ”pay to anyone” booty problem of SegWit.

Btw, I am a Legendary been around since 2013 when BTC was $10. But do not listen to me (this is a new account of mine). Make your own decisions.

As others stated here, we’re concerned you’re coming in a bit late and we do not want you to lose money. So do not be greedy. You are probably not late on altcoins, but remember to take profits as we are getting nearer to some bubble top and crash sector wide. Far too many ICOs and hype that can not be sustained by more fools like yourself coming in to buy too late. Not enough of you fools to buy 1200 ICOs.

Remember the reason you are here, is because we are in a bubble and you want to jump into the bubble. The greater fools always buy the top and sell the bottom.

Satoshi nakamoto = JL777  Cool

I know @jl777 and I can confirm he is not Satoshi. But he is a good guy and apparently a very productive programmer.




The question is, does anyone who is currently alive know? Perhaps everyone who was involved in the project (if more than one person) is dead - by natural causes  Lips sealed

My theory is Satoshi is not a person. It is a decades long “Manhattan Project” of the Zionists. Bitcoin is to be the one-world reserve currency, controlled by them. It will enslave the nations. That most of you think it will liberate us, is by design.

Do you still think John Nash helped them? I read some old articles where you mentioned him.

I think they used John Nash for his Ideal Money concept both to spread the concept and set up Bitcoin as something idealistic and good, but that Nash had no idea he was involved in that capacity. I have as evidence that when Nash was asked about Bitcoin, he seemed genuinely clueless as to why it was mentioned in the context of his Ideal Money speech. However, Nash had suffered from split personalities, so we can't know for sure he was not involved and did not know it from his other personality. The game theory of Bitcoin is within Nash’s expertise. He was researching a new game theory concept just before Bitcoin which is applicable.

Also they apparently murdered Nash in order that we can not verify he was not pushing Bitcoin as Ideal Money.

Note that key players in Bitcoin were from Princeton such as Gavin Andresen.

It’s very intriguing as we are watching the 666 system take form in front our eyes and even trying to help it form. Who would have thought we geeks would create and cheer on the 666?

Of course this makes me a kook. So everyone should just ignore everything I ever say or do from now on.

Why did Hal Finney a runner suddenly succumb to ALS? Okay maybe it is unrelated and just bad luck. But the incidence of ALS is very, very rare.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin crash is comming! on: November 05, 2017, 07:00:40 PM
Why would you say an ethereum crash is coming? Just because it has picked up so much? Thats not a very good way to determine a crash sorry. thats like saying bitcoin started at 0.8$ and not is 7200$ so its going to crash.

remember its all on peoples perception of a coin and people trade on emotions unfortunately!


The price was 1072$ at the same time. Why Ethereum was not started in 2009!  Grin  But I speak about the last months and not form 2009 to 2014, because there we had not Ethereum.

What is interesting is you are apparently calling for a crash in ICO issued tokens. The proof-of-work coins are all holds. ETH was initially ICO issued and ETH is the base token for ERC-20 ICOs.

So ICO issued tokens are way over hyped? And have risen by too high of a percentage thus not sustainable? Proliferation of too many ICOs? A move back to quality and scarcity?

IF I have learned something from crypto is to do the opposite of what the herd is doing. I believe that now would be the best time to buy some alts as they are pretty cheap at this time. Needless to say that one should pick coins with strong fundamentals.

And you may want to wait for BTC to hit $8000 first. Or even $10,000, but I think $8000 is where I would start nibbling.

EOS is trying to make blockchain technology easy to adopt, by creating a blockchain operating system for companies.

This idea in the paper is awesome. But is too difficult to accomplish. And he is not even close to the goal.

Do you really think he is the only person with that idea and the only group working on that idea. Heck Mark Zimmer of Apple Computer (a programmer/founder/CTO I used to work with/for, who was personally recruited by Steve Jobs) gave me that idea on his blog several months ago, of automating the things for companies that are being stolen such as customer logins and identity (do you want the link?). Come on. I remember when I pointed out to Dan in a Steemit comment in 2016 that SSL certificates could be made more secure on the blockchain and he thought that was a really cool idea. So maybe I am the one who started his thought process down the direction it is now. Who knows.

Execution is what matters. And decentralization.

If they were sure of their own execution, they would not need to cash out1 before they even produce it.

Ideas are like assholes, everybody has them.

Do you have any idea how many people are working on ideas in this world? Expect the number of token projects to multiply by another factor of 10 by next year. Execution is what matters. There will be an oversupply of ideas.

I am starting to read and research more about EOS. I am still not convinced to investing, but every day looks like a great idea.

There is a lot more to making an investment than just an idea. Do you support their ethics? Is the token sale transparent and above board (did you not see upthread that the token sale is being gamed algorithmically)?

Do you want to invest in centralized ledgers? Is centralized governance via voting the direction you think our future will go? Did we get into crypto because we wanted to replicate the horrific political-economics of governments?

Etc, etc, etc.

Only you can decide what is important to you.

Personally I got interested in decentralized ledgers (decentralized coordination) because I wanted to try to see if we could change the structure of the world, not right back to same ole shit. Wallstreet, money, governments, and corruption. EOS appears to be knee deep in that shit.

If you just want monetary gains from speculating that others will speculate. Then by all means grab some of the FOMO train and ride on.

1 Even if they’re collecting the funds to form an investment fund in app developers, that is still not a valid reason they need to take it upfront. They could have instead executed first, then sold tokens into the market to raise funds after they proved their execution. But they apparently think they have avoided securities laws by structuring it the way they have, but I do not think so. I think the securities law avoidance is just an obfuscation of their desire to cash out because they’re not sure if they can really execute. Execution is more than just producing a functional blockchain. It is about also proving they can get any market uptake and interest from real adoption in the corporate market they’re targeting. Perhaps they think they can with $2 billion in funds essentially bribe/incentivize interest to adopt, but markets can not be created artificially. There actually must exist use cases. If the funds can be employed to develop for actual use cases the markets have, then it works. But they have not proven that they have these marketing and development chops (a combined skillset). So far I do not see any accomplished software product marketers on their team listed on their website. They have enough funds to hire some. For example, I could refer them to Steve Guttman who I worked with when I worked with Mark Zimmer. Steve was a VP of Marketing at Adobe and made Photoshop the king of commercial graphic editors. He was VP for us at Fractal Design and he went on to be a VP of Marketing at Microsoft. If I see them hire someone of that caliber, then maybe I will think they’re serious about execution. So far all I see is mostly these ii5 people from Hong Kong who are roughly in their 20s and have no experience.

Btw, EOS apparently did no KYC and thus backlash is coming:

Still, the massive growth of the ICO market, which has ballooned to more than $2 billion this year, according to data from fintech analytics firm Autonomous NEXT, has forced the agency to crack down.

And EOS will add another $2 billion.

AML law typically says that if selling a convertible virtual currency, then must do KYC. I have no idea what quality of attorneys are advising EOS. Are they ignorant of AML laws  Huh

Possibly Dan et al are going to have bigger problems to worry about than coding and execution.

What really set me off is when @chryspano seemed to think that Dan is superior to me in research and knowledge about decentralized ledgers.

I still do and you are perhaps the only person that can't see it.

Yet you are incapable of debating any of the technological arguments. I have challenged you to do so and you can only reply with childish drivel and no technological points. And yet Vitalik and PhDs from Tendermint Github agree with me (or we can say I agree with them). And yet no one credible is supporting your drivel. And don’t you dare try to claim something that @smooth did not write. I know very well his opinion.

Delusion much.

We’ll see who wins EOS or my project. I expect you will run away and refuse to admit it later.

Unlike @chryspano, I am not going to intentionally lie to you

And yet you are lying, once more.

Prove it.

Upthread you claimed I am scamming and I challenged you to provide any evidence and you have none.

Every claim you make is lacking of sufficient evidence or technical exposition.

Goodbye loser.

At this point you’re just a useless troll that is wasting everyone’s time. I put you on Ignore now. Goodbye.

You have not made a single useful or correct point in the past several pages of drivel.

You remind me of DecentralizeEconomics who was trolling me because I was stating that Greg Meredith of Synereo was a hypester and the technology he had was all smoke & mirrors. So in the end I was correct and DecentralizeEconomics ends up filing a lawsuit against Meredith. But this was after he slandered and trolled me to no end, even claiming all kinds of drivel about me that was not true.

I am going to laugh when the DPoS ”scratch my back if I scratch yours” oligarchy of whales clusterfuck implodes and y’all are attacking each other.

You are yet another in a long-list of anonymous troll scumbags who will end up being incorrect.
