With over 51% of mining capacity, I think even Satoshi can be helpless with all that processing power, but luckily not all the 51% mining power come from the one person in China, it came from a few big mining farms, we can’t rule out they may work together for some profit as benefit, but I don’t think they will take the risk to change anything for now. And the best part is no other country can produce more processing power than the manufacturing power house, I don’t think anyone can challenge China in mining for a very long time.

The price rise simply due to one reason, it’s profitable, and I don’t think Silk Road is profitable, they can make some quick bucks but it’s risking too much and the market is also very competitive, they can easily get out of business, and they are using bitcoin to stay relevant, I’d say bitcoin help Silk Road not the other way around.

Yeah, I’d vouch for  “the most powerful”, a scam that go borderline absurd will definitely push everyone to get out and expose every single detail of that scam, I think people decide to allocate their time to some of the most powerful scams, since there is just too many scams, we no longer brother with the scam that amounting to a little money, a scam that as huge as bitconnect would definitely not going to get away under their radar.

Because doxxing is something that we need to take cautious of, there is no doubt anyone can stay safe in this forum, but how far can a person think they are safe from being doxxed by most notorious hackers, I’m not trying to say everyone is very good at opsec security and they can and will never be get caught by anyone for making any remark on some of the people and that will hurt their feeling, and this guy get triggered and they want to make a revenge, they will hire some guy on the deep web, some white hat or black hat hackers who offer service to doxx anyone, after the doxxing, reputation will be at stake now, and the Julian Assange or Snowden Edward definitely taught us something, it is very difficult to be a hero, the scammers will hunt them down if they don’t want to get into troubles, they became silenced.

Of course we don’t want to be silent, but not until whistler blower would be punished for no reasons, exposing a scam required some protection, staying anonymous is very important too, that’s why everyone should use a spare account to make scams accusation.

It will be my best wet dream for the govt to buy all the bitcoin, all the crypto from the open market, buying is not the only choice they have, they can confiscate, taxing your crypto, ban it, regulate it, sanction, there is just over hundreds possible way to get their hand on it, buying is just one of the worst they could do, what gold buying binge is one completely isolated case.

Money itself is a form of anarchy too, we should go back to barter system, no dollar no currency no fiat no crypto, but people with higher IQ don’t want to do that, they want to be the only 0.1% of elites of the elites.

It is a war within self control, I had no doubt everyone have their own anxieties, govt anxious with the usd and we are anxious with our bitcoin bags, but most of us are nearly immune to the anxieties, because most of the fud are repetitive and focusing the same behaviors, when the anxieties are over we will become stronger and tougher.

Facebook Libra became a bank definitely sound disruptive to me, it could be the most happening news ever in this year, since we would properly wont have many more crypto mega hit headlines to come, and even Trump couldn’t ignore that, but I’m not sure how it will end, may be Libra could aid bitcoin adoption to a whole new level than that of the 2016/2017. Let’s wait what will be the global reaction to this news, I wonder India will try to ban it?

I don’t mind what they want to do with Libra, as long as they don’t plan anything on bitcoin itself, and I’m seriously surprise how Trump who is not a tech savvy, would got to know bitcoin, I think someone told him about bitcoin, I don’t believe Trump is skillful enough to navigate smartphone, and he could only stick with twitter because it is chartered to the complete novice like him, I’m eager to know how much he got to know about bitcoin, may be what he had merely know its name, not clue about the tech or the founder itself, and the Libra too, he probably have very limited understanding.

Got to know bitcoin back in 2011, I think it was some anime site, but I was too poor to afford any donation alike, back then I thought bitcoin was a gift card for donation and not even knowing what is mining and wallet and also knowing you can hold bitcoin just like a money, and not knowing who create it too, then I didn’t pay attention to it at all, but it catch my attention again in 2013, when everyone are crazy about mining with computer, but it’s not profitable and all, and I slowly following the price on a daily basic just like I did with stock market, then finally get into the scene in late 2016, and you can’t easily trust the internet in the earlier 2011, there is too much of internet scam, thieve, credit card fraud, hacking, etc, and bitcoin just look as ridiculously vaporware in that day, who would have want to get duped when it’s so obvious.

That’s hilarious to think how a tweet   can have any impact to the stock, I think market will take a while to digest the shocks, coming directly from potus, while indecisive.



Can’t rule out the possibility that they may want to regulate it, and by legalized it and imposing several unfair treatments in the agreement while compete with conventional banking regulations,



I have no doubt they can regulate Libra, by rewriting the code, adding some back door etc, and it is the known issues with centralized currency, but it would be no easy way to regulate bitcoin, as many soft fork hard fork has failed to do so, the only way to control bitcoin is thru 51% attack, which is very difficult to achieve even for potus. May be more regulation to centralized exchanges?

It is amazing even the mighty Trump cannot ignore the influence from the bitcoin, I know they knew what’s going on in the crypto, they just pretending to be hostile, but they can’t hold for too long, they will need to spread the news, that’s is just interesting they finally let it go.

Trump is a no coiner and that is what we should expect come directly from the tweet. Btw I’m wondering why the world continued to give a huge damn about every tweet he would make, it is never mean to be serious? On a bright side, it does sound Facebook Libra could be legally exist, they just need to register themselves, which is almost too good to be true.

This piece of info really open my eye in a complete different picture to look at the development of the community. I think it’s a very piece of info that we shouldn’t let it sink into the sea of knowledge. Btw this Mike Hearn guy have some of the very good insight, he is so much distinguished among all the other member here, but to stand against bitcoin core influence, but he must work much more, he has underestimated the stubbornness of the communities, we have all know what happens to all the tycoons who trying to do the same. I think it’s all come together perfectly after a long time of puzzle I have experienced during the late 2016-2017 drama, it is good to dig deeper down into the rabbit hole to get as much clue as possible, of course just for entertainment purpose.

One year ago? I think you could remember how you create the recovery seed at the first place, it could be the software you downloaded from some random site, may be hinting the name of the software you used, some part of the name will do too, may be the icons of the software, if it’s the hardware wallet you’re talking about, it would be wise to contact the support unit of the said hardware, I had no idea what could have created that seed by just knowing the word counts btw.

I’m surprise there’s no details about Wikileaks affairs with bitcoin, I think it’s one of the very important timeline in the bitcoin history.

It’s a flaw argument, you think bitcoin mining never create pollution other than carbon footprint? All the mining equipment used to mine gold, chemicals, tools, the process of devastating the environment to detect gold, blah blah etc. You think bitcoin did any better? All the equipment used to mine bitcoin bitcoin miners, come at the cost of environment destruction, the chemical used to produce the miners, the rare earths used inside the miners, they’re all contribute to earth destruction. Bitcoin is not greener tech than anyone think they’re, of course you can argue we can go back to CPU mining and our operation can be greener by using greener mining process and avoid using mining equipment from the illegal sources, we can also argue there’s greener way to harvest gold too, but people want profit out of everything else, they are willing sacrifice anything to get some profit out of the hard work, and going greener operation will add to more cost to the profit that can be made, yes, going greener is going to cost more money, in these level, I can assume gold mining is more profitable than all the idiots who mining bitcoin with all the resources available to the world, ok some argue gold mining make up more amount of money per day compare to bitcoin, roughly 5-10x more marketcap and thus more pollutions, don’t forget we got thousands of crypto that’s mineable, while we have only less than 300 mineable minerals in the periodic table, you can argue we can mine all the minerals in the world and still produce more pollution, in the end, crypto mining is highly scalable, it’s not limited to bitcoin only, and not limited to periodic table too, you try to combine all the bitcoin eth lite coin monero blah blah mining and compare it to gold again? Then you want to preach proof of stake, yeah, it’s full of flaws, I’m going to sleep now.

It will be great I think Satoshi can be the director for the new film named “the future of bitcoin”, it would certainly make millions of fanboy go wild.


It may not be possible to dine with Satoshi,  but don’t lose the hope to dine with some of the great minds in the crypto, some altcoin founders could be readily to take the challenge.


I believe Satoshi have thousands of individuals wallet that’s scattered everywhere in the basement, they may not be all gone, I think it’s still possible to scavenge some of them.


Selling all of them in one go, I think it would be very difficult request even for Satoshi. I think it’s possible to sell some of them little by little.

Yes, discussing technical issues would have been the possible outcome, who would have thought Satoshi to stop doing what he/she did since day one. On a side note Craig is one shameless imposter.


I don’t know anyone who’re not aware of the value increment, may be Satoshi is the only person who doesn’t care about it.


It would be a interesting question, we have seen some whale offloading their bags secretly everyday, and they would only make announcement after they finish all their dirty work. Will Satoshi did good when it come to selling.


Yeah, I think Satoshi would have big dream for his/her very own project, but no one is told about that dream, may be it is far beyond space exploration in his/her wildest dream?


That’s would be the same questions I would eagerly ask about! It would be gold to look at that reactions!


Hiding, of course it must be a very safe and far away from political chaos, preferably a free county, I think it would be Japan? I do hope he/she can spend the wealth for the benefit of all mankind, we have seen plenty of billionaires became crooked when they got so rich, they no longer care about helping other people.
