Enjoy this crappy New DT system , that to be honest the whole thing should have been scrapped instead of modified.  


 

This Vote is merely a Poll, to show the true feelings of the community

as we all know Lauda sucks Theymos dick and btctalk will go bankrupt before he bans her.

But we might as well let the ASSHATS in charge know, we know they are asshats and their day of reckoning is coming.


I vote Lauda be banned from btctalk for her extortion, and the pure facts she is an asshole that red tags people on pure whims.


 

We all Know Lauda is a Extortionist , and Theymos keeps bringing her Back

Even with DT members take hits on their trust ratings , just to finally ban lauda from DT.

Theymos swoops in to reinstate her like he has done everytime she fucks up.


The whole forum is SHIT!

Theymos ,  Took Funds to upgrade BTCtalk and did no upgrades
Lauda ,  Extortionist and prostitute
Vod , Child Rapist

[“delusional”]

http://www.investmentwatchblog.com/millennials-are-delusional-about-how-rich-theyre-going-to-be/

So why do so many think they’ll be rich? They may be “delusional” about “how much money they are able to save and how much they will be able to earn,” explains Agnes Kowalski, a wealth therapist — who adds this can happen with people of all ages. But she explains that millennials in particular “have incredibly powerful new belief systems about not capping how much money can be earned” as “there are so many careers that were non-existent even 10 years ago” — which may help explain why they think seven figures is possible.

Interesting enough, you see this in Bitcoin all of the time.

People mortgaging a house , (that was already paid for)
Using Credit Card Debt to Buy as much Crypto as Possible,
(This lead up to the $20000 overpriced BTC, and the blockage by Banks aided the downward collapse of BTC)

All thinking it was going to make them Ultra Rich, and the exact opposite has occurred,
Prices are Crashing with little incentive for anyone to buy them , as everyone knows the price is going lower.

FYI:
All those people that purchased BTC with CC Debt , and now can't afford to even pay off that CC Debt.  
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-06/economic-downturn-credit-cards-arent-being-paid-accounts-are-being-closed

A new report is shining some light on an indicator that the economy is about to take a major downturn.  
Credit card accounts are not being paid and some accounts are being closed in anticipation for an upcoming recession.

So the next guy that yells BTC will Moon Again, ask him/her , who is left that is stupid enough to throw their money at it,
when it has already wiped out the financial future of millions that believed in it like a false religion.

FYI2:
To all of fanatics that claim , you don't lose anything til you sell.
Go tell that bullshit to the guy losing his house and possibility his wife, because his job can't pay the new mortgage.  
Or the millions that credit is destroyed.
It is 7 years to restore bad credit, so expect this crypto winter to be as least 7 years.
Does anyone really think BTC can survive a 7 year bear market?
BTC Death Spiral in less than 3 years, set your watch.  

[UNTIL NOW!]

Many say don't worry, bitcoin price goes down and always come back up.

The problem with that statement is this,

It has always come back up UNTIL NOW!

There are no guarantees it will come back up or even a guarantee it can't die.

Past Performance is NO Guarantee of Future Results!


Is their a guarantee that BTC price increases, NO.
Is their a guarantee that BTC dies, NO.

There are NO FUCKING GUARANTEES !

It is a Speculative Investment , not a religion, that you throwing misplaced faith at , will make any difference.

All of these post calling for btc believers are merely calling for idiots to hold , while they trade to earn profit.

btc is not a store of value, don't believe the hype.

Make your decisions based on your OWN OBSERVATIONS, don't listen to unsupported authorities that goal is to profit off of your lack of research.

FYI:
One Major Difference that only exists now and did not exist in the past history.
The Exact Same ASICS Miners can choose between 3 different Bitcoin Forks , BTC / BCH /BSV  ,
that is new and investors should make their own observations of what influence that can have on future results.
Fork Profitability is a major factor in the miner's choice of which coin to support.

BTC is projected to drop as low as $1500 by Bloomberg Analysts.
(According to some, this is also the new break even price for the latest batch of ASICS.)

Buying above $2500 shows you don't know what you are doing.

This Market Collapse will be long , possible range a few months to a few years.
(Collapse is less than 2 weeks old.)

Buying above $3000 is the elite selling to the remaining suckers.


FYI:
The ones telling you to buy now or hodl are most likely the ones selling.
Remember for someone to win in a Market someone else has to lose, which are you?

CRYPTO News- The Ethereum Genesis Block is cashing out

80% premined Ethereum’s Genesis Block
(Specifically, the block that allocated to the founders 12 million free coins) is cashing out as the price of Ethereum tanks into oblivion.

etherscan.io/address/0x9d2BFC36106F038250c01801685785b16C86C60D

It’s always nice to be at the top of a pyramid. The bottom ‘Hodlers’ will get REKT.

Ethereum was 72,000,000 coin premined.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoins-no-longer-boring-price-heading-towards-15k-say-bloomberg-analysts

“Bitcoin’s no longer boring” declares Bloomberg, before stating that analysts predict the price could fall as low as the $1,500 point, a further 70 percent drop in the coin’s price.

Bloomberg cites hedge fund founder Travis Kling saying that he “didn’t sleep well” because of the potential turmoil in wider crypto markets due to the recent Bitcoin Cash hard fork:

“There’s a small chance that, it’s difficult to estimate, that something really bad could happen related to Bitcoin Cash that could then impact the entire crypto market.”

Looks like the warnings of btc dropping down to $1000 is not so far fetched after all.
Also looks like the analysts are blaming it all on the bcash war.

Can the Miners survive a drop below $2000?
Time will tell.

[Tether’s general counsel]

https://cointelegraph.com/news/chief-strategy-officer-of-bitfinex-crypto-exchange-steps-down

Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) Phil Potter of Bitfinex crypto exchange is resigning from the company, Reuters reports June 22.
Potter will be replaced in the interim by Bitfinex CEO, Jean-Louis van der Velde.

Looks like Phil wants to stay out of jail.

Bitfinex / Tether CEO, Jean-Louis van der Velde looking dirtier by the day , as he has to do all of the jobs to keep someone from telling on him for operating a fractional reserve.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)  

Bitfinex and Tether has said that the CEO of both firms is Jan Ludovicus van der Velde

 


https://www.coindesk.com/cftc-denies-bitfinex-foia-request-citing-possible-investigation/

The filing came weeks after reports first indicated that Bitfinex and Tether had been subpoenaed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), though it's not clear what, exactly, is being investigated. That news followed the revelation that the relationship between Tether – which operates the dollar-linked token USDT – and its auditor, Friedman, had "dissolved."

Earlier this week, Tether’s general counsel confirmed that Tether indeed has backed all their tokens,
although they were careful to note that it was not an official audit and that they are not an accounting firm.

Translation General Counsel word is not worth anything and he won't back up his findings if the court presses him , because he is not an accountant.
So aside from blowing smoke up , his words were a waste of time as tether is still being investigated.

https://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoins-2017-rise-was-market-manipulation-tether-study/

The paper is titled Is Bitcoin Really Un-Tethered? and is written by John M. Griffin, a professor of finance at the University of Texas and Amin Shams, a graduate student at the same university. They found that 87 hours of trading (amounting to 1 percent of total trading activity) of Tether could be responsible for a 50 percent rise in the price of bitcoin. Griffin told CNBC that Tether trading created price support for bitcoin and had “huge price effects.” "Our research would indicate that there are sophisticated people harnessing investor interest for their benefit,” he said. Both Griffin and Shams had earlier authored a paper that alleged manipulation in Wall Street's volatility index VIX. Those allegations are being investigated after a whistleblower confirmed them.

Bitfinex is yet to show credible proof that Tether tokens in crypto markets, which amount to 2.5 billion as of this writing, are backed by an equivalent amount of US dollars.

Question of the Day, how many want to sue Tether and Bitfinex for manipulating the markets and now crashing them?
We need to get the civil suits started before the feds take all of their money.  

Tether used a Fractional Reserve System to Prop up Bitcoin to the $20,000 mark
US Regulators are looking into Tether for Fraud, which ends the manipulation

China is Banning Bitcoin Mining.
China Bans all trading and Blocks External Exchanges (Cutting off any new money from China.)

US Banks block most credit cards from Buying Crypto  (Cutting out large influx of potential investment from US Citizens.)
Credit Cards that are still allowed to buy bitcoin are charging Cash Advance Fees.

US GOV Changes Tax Laws , Taxing every single trade and Bans Like of Kind Exchanges.
IRS is going after anyone that made a profit.

Bitcoin Future Markets draw money away to FIAT only Markets, which only draws money away that would have went into Bitcoin.
(Also Allows Shorting to Drive the Price even Lower.)

For any that are clueless , this is how the World Government and the Bankers try and destroy Bitcoin and the threat known as Crypto.

The enemies of Crypto , don't need to drive the price of BTC to ZERO , they just need to drive the prices low enough that it is no longer profitable for the miners to mine.  
The War of old FIAT verses New Crypto has begun and it won't be pretty.

Pick your Coins, Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is a Fight to the Death between FIAT and Virtual Currencies , and it will not be for the squeamish.
