Even if things were boring but still alive and relatively lively, though not at all bubbly, it would simply get there because of dollar inflation eventually.

Why - Increasing education, awareness, avenues to buy and sell, less production.

Why not - the world going to shit.

That's what a lot of people don't consider until they either get walloped with a huge fee or the fee is more than the entire wallet balance, though you can always low ball it and wait a week or two.

When things build up I always consolidate in quiet moments.

Who knows what the future holds for fees.

You are massively overestimating USDT's importance. No one outside of crypto has a clue what it is. No bank will know and if you explained it to a bank they'd look at you like you were fucking nuts.


'Look, there's this company, no one really knows who owns it or where it's based and they invented this token. It's worth a dollar but there's no way of proving that there are real dollars backing it and they've said themselves that sometimes it isn't.

The actual company who issues these tokens refuse to give their non whale customers dollars for one of these tokens. You have to find some other individual on an exchange willing to hand over real ones.

So, are you gonna let me deposit these or not?

I'm WAITING.'

The fact that they're still here and haven't sold with a loss shows they have some potential. Most people would be long gone with a loss of 75% or more.

I would simply stay put and wait as long as I didn't need the money. It took me three years to get back in the black after 2013 and once it did it all seemed like a bad memory as it left it firmly behind.

No one has any idea of if or when it'll return to that level but as long as it remains above ground there's a chance of it happening. Selling when interest is low doesn't really make sense and things are still quiet.

You are paying for the amount of data you're moving. It's nothing to do with the amount. Data is added with every input you eventually send back out. Sending 500,000 BTC from one transaction will cost much less than 0.0001 BTC made up from several.

'Blockchain' will allow them to squeeze their population harder than ever. That's what truly interests them about the technology.

China's leadership doesn't give the slightest shit about Bitcoin. They've done enough to turn off enough of the population.

I think she's having a bit of fun at the expense of crypto pompousness. But I'll bet you there are people who 'support' ETH who don't know anything about BTC and probably understand nothing of ETH either. Possibly the majority.

I know she never returned your Harry Potter lunch box, let alone signed it, but she's a busy woman. You're bigger than this.

Hey, scientologists have all the answers. You can't beat somewhere that'll stop you being gay and gives you the meaning of life to boot.

Unlike Scientology you should leave the cult of bitcoin with more money than you arrived with, by the grace of Xenu of course.

Satoshi the entity still controls a vast amount of coins. I can well believe it was a state actor running a grand experiment and sending it out into the world to see what happens. It's no sillier an idea than one obsessive looking to overthrow The Man.

They can't. They're too desperate for a pat on the head. The way for Bitcoin to give people like her an erection is when her own financial people advise it. That's the best and most viable route. In the meantime it's far better if the screeching kiddies keep their traps shut.

Erm, how? I wouldn't sell for less than what something was worth. On an average day openbazaar probably has 50 weirdos on it. Ebay will have 50 million, not that I'd ever sell on there. The only place I'd do it is here.

A lot of coins appear to have moved through Ebay. I find it incomprehensible how anyone could risk it.

That bloke's made some perfect calls in the past and I think he's been around since the single figure days. So I dunno why he needs to get house money involved. He's barking to do that.

A fine demonstration of the utter ghastliness of crypto Twitter, but she comes over as something of a knobhead too.

It just goes to show the desperation to please and for acceptance that its fans have. I thought they might have outgrown it a bit. Tis an ugly and grasping look.

Yup. I started off giving him the benefit of the doubt. And then he kept pounding the same odious dreck relentlessly. Realising 'y'know what? I don't need to have my precious life juices used up by your worthless opinions' and giving him the boot forever was a liberating moment.

No way would I touch Bitfinex for fiat withdrawals. You'll never know what cocaine bank they're signed up with that week on some obscure island. I can only assume their big clients have their own banking arrangements and personal service.

Bitstamp is solid but if the amounts are large expect your funds to be held hostage and them to make outrageous demands like your entire tax history.

And anywhere else with a proper dollar option should have money in proper dollar accounts which means it's insured too. I wouldn't be too sure of places that used third party payment processors like Kraken have for USD in the past. They might be in shitty far off lands.

I've been told Friday night is drinking night for her so she was probably pissed out of her head throughout.

Aye. That's the essence of it boiled down right there.

It's like buying an airliner based on the peanuts they serve in flight rather than the engines and aerodynamics or whether it's a plastic kit a few inches long or a full sized real one.



Another beauty of Twitter is that if the person you're following slowly turns into a dickhead you can simply erase them. Saifedean Ammous started off alright and then turned into a boring twat shouting about meat all the time.

It's the world of normal finance going bleedin' loopy in response to the world falling off a cliff. Money as we know it will be even more stunted and warped than it was before all of this kicked off. Who knows what tricks they'll pull out of their bag to keep the plates spinning.

That's going to have an effect on BTC one way or another.
