Is there anyone in the Leeds area of UK who would like to join a meetup,  a couple of beers and a chat in a pub somewhere.

I'd like to share some ideas on data compression and solving the scaling problem.

I'd also like some volunteers for my entertainment network.

Paper wallets aren't secure either

Well that's a bit of a frickin' understatement isn't it? They stole all funds over 100,000 euro and some from those under that. Sensible people won't touch the Cypriot banking system for a long, long time. Nobody forgets losing their livelihood.

Here it is, Bitcoin rolling up to platform $5000 once again. China will get left behind in the revolution of a lifetime.

If you sold, you're gonna miss it. Sorry.

It's goodbye China hello Japan. They are being proactive and it's the perfect place to setup business and hire people.

Some of these alts have been going for 3-4 years and have yet to create a working version of a product that is popular even amongst the crypto community. You may as well burn your money. ICOs have diluted the entire sector but Bitcoin is unaffected.

Keep hold of your Bitcoin and give the scamcoins a miss.

1) Double down and ban anybody talking about Bitcoin, Litecoin in public areas. Offer rewards to anybody who reports a person talking about crypto in private discussion.

2) Organize a small collective of dodgy individuals to release a competing Bitcoin clone, and call it something like Bitcoin Credits, and attempt to take control of Bitcoin via the back door...

3) Throw everybody who visits coinmarketcap.com in jail.

5) Meet with world leaders to discuss this new form of financial terrorism and instigate a coordinated and sophisticated global response.

6) Get home at night and login to LocalBitcoins.com to buy Bitcoin...

+1 The bull is over now, most ICOs are in a perpetual state of "nothing happening". The bull has been over since early July infact, with the Chinese exchanges gone the money has vanished. Remember there literally is no bottom in the altcoin market, you can lose everything.... Bitcoin is the one to hold.

I have come to the conclusion that altcoins are just there to part people from their Bitcoins.... there is no real demand for any of the utility that they offer, nor is there anything special happening and most of the founders seem to run with the ICO money and leave a shell of a company behind.

Just get your Bitcoins and HODL..

Time to own altcoins was first half of the year... second half they only drop / get diluted by endless spammy ICOs. With a couple of exceptions, altcoins are a black hole for your money.

Buy Bitcoin and hold it.

I like to listen to bankers because I know they have my best interests at heart.

It's kind of already picking up. Just keep an eye on it.

1. Go down to the pub.

2. Tell everybody you are buying them free drinks instead of pissing your money away on sinking crypto currencies.

3. Watch how many new friends you make.

4. Profit.

Yeah yeah we heard this before. Altcoins have been in a bear market since they topped in July with the odd exception. That was the top, along with some very lucrative ICO scams.

I suppose it depends if it the Tangle truly scales like it's supposed to. If it scales, then it wins.

Don't care, it's backed by scummy people. Scummy coin is scummy.

They didn't want UASF to happen, now trying to pump BCH to make people think twice but it's already dead.

Don't lose your Bitcoins.

Well Bitfinex seem sure of their own reasoning but let's face it, if they were competent it would be 1:1.

They messed up their preparations - there is no way unsettled margin positions should impact on other users, that loss should be maintained between Bitfinex and those in the red. They messed up bad.

If I got 1 BTC in my account I should get 1 BCC, end of story. Nice to see Bittrex have got their shit together.

Wishful thinking... more likely to be the bubble going pop because of Ethereum shortcomings under load...
