Halving won't have ANY effect at all..
Sure, honey. but really take a rest to THINK what this means..
More people than ever will realise they need to get their money beyond government control. Why is it so seemingly difficult for people to comprehend that governmentcoins will make the case for Bitcoin that much more compelling?

Yea it's really unfortunate. Though I was always heavily skeptical of MakerDAO due to it's huge potential to break down when black swan events occur(like what we had recently), I've always found it really really interesting. Unfortunately it's the only "stablecoin" we have right now that's unconfiscatable(correct me if I'm wrong).
I am completely unsurprised by what happened there. When it comes to things like this there is one rule - if the potential to screw up badly is in there somewhere it will happen and there will be someone at the right time and place to exploit it. And if random events don't make it happen then someone will force it to happen. No way do I trust ETH, any programmer or any contract to be dependable enough to run something like that where it actually counts in the real world. It's all too amateurish still. Things like this should remain a research project until it's totally bulletproof and maybe it never will be. It's good for research purposes that it happened. Things will be learnt. Not good for the people who got boned by it.

Interesting views.
Anyone talking TA at a time like this is a prize twat.

Where you got this info? I read he come broke out of prison. He earned 20000 Bitcoin in last few years promoting shitcoin ICOs?
His fortune is long gone, though I guess it's in his interests for all of us to believe that. If I remember rightly there's still a scam accusation open against him on here for not returning the proceeds of a Casascius sale. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=817069.360I wouldn't trust any publicly known amounts unless they're confirmed on a regular basis. Circumstances can change very fast and I still see figures thrown around based on guesses from 6-7 years ago.

I honestly think that Calvin has realized (or is starting to) that Craig isn't Satoshi by now. Calvin is technologically impaired so I understand how someone like Craig can easily fool him. I expect Calvin to double down soon as a final attempt to make BSV work (which will obviously fail).
No one, especially our fave kiddie fiddler, believes he's Satoshi apart from a few hopeless penises on Twitter. It's nothing other than a hook to exploit the gullibility and cynicism running riot in cryptoland. No matter what happens he's going to do very nicely out of it.

He's been quiet.

Just curious. What's the point in discussing about Cryptotalk's future. Personally, I wouldn't even bother whatever shitshow they are doing or intend to do in future. Cryptotalk took away some of the spammers from this forum for themselves which is good IMHO. So are you guys worried that since new users are not allowed to register to Cryptotalk they might flood towards this forum or just worried about the future of the spammers in Cryptotalk?
I think it's interesting primarily because they're going about growing in such a bizarre way. I'm not sure a launch like this has ever been attempted before so I'm extremely intrigued to see how it eventually dwindles to nothing which is very likely. There's also the possibility of a tsunami of shit returning here but they're now fated to be nowhere on here forever unless they shape up. That aspect is of much less interest to me at least.

I've perused the list. I can honestly say I have only ever heard of two of those projects. I'm amazed Bitfinex bothered to add that many in the first place. I'm amazed that heap of shit stayed on there so long. Smart move. It will make Bitfinex safer, by removing the risk of people crashing the market with huge bets on an underperforming altcoin.
Unlike Poloniex I presume they're competent enough not to have exposure of that sort to outright junk.

I think the guy was just looking for some stability .
Indeed. A lot of us are blind to the fact that to most people working in cryptoland regard it as just another job. They'd be no more or less turned on running a factory that tightened the tops on salt shakers. If a better gig turns up then most will drop crypto and never look back.

It seems like a very strange move on your sig campaign's part to ask members to do something like this. Was it a polite request or was there some implied pressure? I'd refuse to do it simply because I don't want my unread replies bit polluted.

Now that I'm in isolation the only gloves I have to hand are boxing gloves. That's going to make typing extremely hard. Can the forum staff make extra big letters for people in similar situations? It is actually suggested to drink a lot of hot fluids on a regular basis, especially tea. Why? Because the virus stays in your nose and mouth for several days before making its way down towards the lungs. Drinking on a regular basis will wash down the virus towards your stomach where the gastric acid will kill it. So drink a lot throughout the day, whether you are healthy or sick.
Can confirm. I was giving a Liberian hooker cunnilingus when she suddenly remembered she had Ebola. I had a quick cuppa, killed the virus, and then we carried on as before. I really don't understand why all those nincompoops who died from it didn't do that. Sheesh.

Crock of shit.
Why do they need to seize anything? They're magicking up all the money they need. Almost every large business in the world will wind up in their pocket too. The last thing they need is a dribble of personal gold and worthless stocks.

In CoinDesk, they had put up a theory that the flash crash was caused as a result of PlusToken scammers liquidating $120 million worth of cryptocurrency, rather than as a result of the COVID 19 outbreak. If that is true, it will explain the recent behavior of the cryptocurrency market. The prices dropped as a result of the dump, and once all those coins were removed from the market by trading, the prices started recovering.
Maybe plustoken piled in but I don't see how you get a global market meltdown and a totally immune Bitcoin. That would make no sense whatsoever. This whole thing is still only just beginning so anyone saying 'it's over' strikes me as a bit deluded. Maybe boredom will overcome fear eventually but there's still a vast capacity for droopiness and flat out terror.

Maybe copper membership should be awarded in return for dogsbody tasks that aid the forum. It would instil valuing the forum in new members, save them that horrific cost and ease the burden on staff. I would award them the job of dealing with subpoenas and liaising with law enforcement including court appearances.
6 hours of paperwork and 2 trials per membership.

This guy admitted to putting on a bearish persona for month after month to scare people to sell so he could buy cheaper. That just outs him as a pathetic penis. As if writing shit on here that's instantly ignored moves markets. Gimme a fuckin break and what a detestable waste of his time and that of whoever's unfortunate enough to read that squit.

I suppose I agree with cAPSLOCK that btc is a binary bet, much as I hate to say it.
I think that's probably what has attracted most people to it, even if they haven't voiced it to themselves. Satoshi knew it too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48.msg329#msg329Bitcoin was born during turmoil. It will come of age during and after the current shitshow. Having said that it would be fascinating to see what a Bitcoin that was chugging along happily and obscurely in ten years from now would look like. Would it be abandoned rapidly, develop a die hard audience that lasted forever but didn't grow or have a second wind a few more years down the line? We'll likely never know. It's death or glory.

Well, better late than never and now it's here it's not going away. For somewhere of Coinbase's size this may well have a larger effect on pressure on block space than an entire bit of software genius from Bitcoin developers.
We've no idea how lumbering their systems are so it could have taken a lot of time in tweaking and training. It wouldn't be because Brian Coinbase wanted us to use BCH and ETH instead. No way.

The current situation doesn't matter. Bitcoin's inflation rate is undergoing an irrevocable change that will continue have effects long after all of what's happening at the moment is an unhappy memory.
