Though I'm sure she's forgotten how I left my instructions with my dear old ma who's the only person I properly trust. Other relatives may have hidden drug problems or second families that need funding. I've seen enough siblings fuck each over when it comes to money, let alone slightly more distant relatives.

If I was unfortunate enough to have children I'd have no problem leaving the lot to them. If they're brought up right I see no reason why an injection of money would ruin their lives. It would give them a nice wee cushion to pursue things they otherwise might not have been able to.

Other than that I would leave it to a cause that I believe in. And I'd make sure it was properly run. Nothing would annoy me more than my money going to fund some charity CEO's pension.

What do you truly care about?

Post the link to it and get some opinions.

'Seminar' immediately conjures up some fairly distasteful associations but I guess there might be some legit ones out there.

What do you want out of it?

I've used Bitpanda quite a few times and it's always been completely painless. They're growing in an interesting manner. I've also read far less moaning about them than Spectrocoin. No idea about the other one though.

For most here this arena will fill your thoughts for most of the day but you won't have anyone to talk to about it in the real world. It might have been that way for years on end. I can see why meeting actual living humans interested in the same thing as you might be intriguing.

Whether the conversation ever gets beyond -

'I like Bitcoin.'

'So do I. Yay.'

Is another matter.

The only time I've met anyone else interested in it was a computer repair bloke who accepted BTC. It was a rapid conversation but good fun hearing someone else's story.

Anyone worrying about 24hr price movements probably has Arthur Hayes balls deep inside their colon.

I am reserving judgement and excitement until the end of 2021. Until then nothing is going to surprise me and my expectations hover somewhere around the level of - nil.

I well and truly cannot imagine any tenant unfamiliar with Bitcoin being anything other than mystified and turned off by the idea.

If you flipped that around and advertised your property specifically to Bitcoin owners I'll bet you'd get plenty of bites. There'll be many Bitcoin owners with a ton of value tied up in it and hardly anywhere to spend it. 

It's one week into 2012 in Ethiopia. I'm surprised we don't have more of them here taunting us.

Libra will never launch.

The US government spat an unbroken lava stream of searing hate at it during the recent hearings. The French and Germans have flat out stated they won't permit it to exist. No country with a weaker currency will ever, ever, ever allow it anywhere near their population. More authoritarian places like China will chuckle at the idea of it ever coming anywhere near them.

It's over before it got rolling.

I'm sure some will say 'but they'll launch it anyway' but this ain't crypto. There are a bunch of people in offices they can go and arrest if it ever does slip out without permission.

It's a weird board that's best avoided overall. It's 96.8% pointless and incomprehensible shrieking about stuff that I genuinely cannot figure out what they're on about. Do these people have actual business dealings with each other? It rarely looks like it.

The odd gem pops up though like that.

I'd be curious to know what other posters here would do if they owned such valuable properties like that handle and bitcoin.com. Would you whore it out or safeguard its exploitation? No amount of money would make up for the disgust I'd feel at the misleading going on. It would be very, very hard to resist whoring but there's no way I could allow it without a giant veto button.



There's an interesting wee parallel with alts there. For whatever reason after all this time .com is still the gold standard despite it being three largely meaningless letters. The only reason why is because the collective has decided that's how it's going to be. Tokens.co is available for $999 right now. Is one solitary M worth another $499,001 to you?

So how would people feel if the dominance peak has been and gone for this round?

I would not be totally surprised. The 90% fans aren't being super realistic. Regardless of whatever I'd prefer to see a better way of measuring the whole thing because as it stands it's a silly and easily gamed metric. It has been a good reminder to those flippening zombies where the real power lies though.

They should not be listing BNB. That smells very security-esque to me.

Binance have something of a history of being both slapdash and arrogant. I hope they have some American minds on board who are winding those characteristics in otherwise they'll get a firm slap upside the head.

Don't tempt him by setting arbitrary figures.

They'll start their own weather app posting whatever the hell the bsv one is posting too with extra knobs on.

Wanna bet on that?

If on my first day in the job at Institutional Inc I walked into my boss's office and said 'sir, the crypto market is looking awful quiet. Shall we start a massive pump,?' the response is unlikely to be 'y' know what? That's a great idea. Call the pump department right now and here's a raise for you.'

It's a tad more nuanced overall.

I suppose the one thing you can point to with crypto is that it's nowhere near done growing.

That may not count for much if people are only looking for survival but you never know.

Weird how rarely it's mentioned.

In some ways it would be more convenient, others less. I don't fancy having to haul it around every time I wanted to access something but at least it would be more secure than downloading some program to every computer I wanted to access sites through.

I've never seen anything other than that one tweet confirming who the new controller is. I really can't imagine anyone paying more than Roger to fuck with us so my assumption is that the original owner got sick of it all and took it back.

It's possible Blockstream is funding it but I'd hope they had better things to do.


Edit -

I was in London yesterday for the first time this year to check the Stanley Kubrick exhibition before it closes.

Much of this summer has been spent on islands with populations of 10-1000 people so I found it more than a little disorientating. I sat on a bench for 10 minutes and watched more people go past than I've seen in an entire year.

You'd think those top 10 posters in terms of time logged in would be totally ubiquitous but I'm pretty sure I've never heard of or encountered a single one of them anywhere - ever.

Some of them seem to be zero post accounts. I guess that makes it a worthless stat or is it just broken for them?

Holy sheeyit. I'd better keep that blanked in future to stop me from disappearing in a puff of regret. I could've designed, built and flown a mission to Mars and back in not too dissimilar a time.
