It wasn't a stupid idea. Just a naive one.

People will find that when tested, the "Rule of Law" doesn't apply or is complete non-existent in most parts of the world. And it can be completely overridden by the powerful elite.

Sad but true.   

Not to mention his followers think that Vay's TA is Goldman Sachs quant level, when really it's TA 101 kindergarten level.

They'll all get eaten by the lions if they follow his childish TA crap. The lions are smiling every day.

How to spot a crypto coin "scam" vs. a truly innovative Bitcoin competitor:

In a truly innovative competitor to Bitcoin, the coin's Dev team will not "pre-mine" and/or hold a significant amount pre-launch. In many cases those Dev teams are holding like 90%+ of all coin available.

This rules out 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% of all altcoins as complete scams.

The rest of it is simply belief/popularity contest driving ongoing supply and demand, as well as growing ecosystem support (users, exchanges, brokers, merchants, investors, e-commerce)... this over decades of time in order to be considered a lasting success.

If a coin project doesn't have any of that, just has short term hype and false promises and false advertising, it isn't going to last and will die off. It's a scam. Simple as that. After the Dev team has made their millions in a single massive PnD, they will vanish, never to be heard from again. The people they scammed will be left holding a bag of worthless shite.

I love that guy's tweet, he nails the sentiment perfectly.

If you get involved in crypto for more than a few years, it is almost impossible not to come to the same epiphany at some point.

"The noise" is there simply to distract you, confuse you, FUD you, and ultimately steal your wealth away for side projects that have zero purpose/utility or won't matter in the long run. The scammers, trolls and whales love 'em tho.

No, we still need the shitcoins sloshing around out there.... for comic relief.

Even more so, the majority of people out there that still believe that Bitcoin^TM the Company had a CEO Mark Karpeles that got arrested.  So the original CEO and founder, Craig Wright, had to come in and set the company straight.    

The FUDsters have hardly had to work at it, the misinformation works on it's own... it's no wonder that after 10 years we're still where we are.  

This.

But of course, it's because at the time they all benefited from the fraud. That's why.

These exchanges have been washing trading the BSV garbage back and forth, and they are the only buyers. No one else gives a shit, so they de-list it. It's only a matter of time before BCH meets the same fate.

The guy is a fucktard who spends all his free time on yachts drunk with paid hookers. He's no different than a John McAfee.

Seriously tho, why this community continues to give these narcissistic scammers with seriously bent moral compasses the "benefit of the doubt", I'll never understand it...

I'm actually Santa Claus, provided evidence to a friend and a low level judge but sealed from the public.

So I guess I'm the real Santa Claus, right?

I.E., proof/evidence has to be made public and verified by external party, or it's not really proof.

The required reply when anyone tries to tell you any of the following:

1. Bitcoin is going to crash to zero

2. BCH is the real Bitcoin

3. Craig Wright is the real Satoshi

4. X/Y/Z shitcoin will supersede Bitcoin

5. China bans Bitcoin

6. Governments will outlaw Bitcoin

7. Bitcoin mining is unsustainable and consumes too much energy

Satoshi clearly knew and understood that because Bitcoin is open source and anyone can clone or fork Bitcoin, and anyone can create unlimited number of new coins at will, then the dominance of one form of digital open source money/Gold 2.0 would be decided in the court of public opinion. Not through censorship of Bitcoin's competitors.

So it all comes down to belief/popularity contest of what form of open source digital money should be dominant, with participants basing reason to purchase and use based on sum total of philosophy/moral/ethical/guiding principles, intent of dev team, attributes (security, decentralization, etc., etc.), and growth through usage (via popularity with exchanges, brokers, users, merchants, investors, etc).

And yes BSV is a scam and Craig Wright is a fraud. But that is for the public to decide.

A fact that needs to change. Even it crashes the local economy. America will adapt, always has, always will.

And that's their whole fucking problem, isn't it? Coddled, spoiled, privileged, sitting on their fat asses drinking their $4 lattes and eating $7 avocado toast and $9 millionaire's bacon. All the while crying about illegals taking their jobs.

But no worries, when the world economy goes to shit... they'll learn... by picking free grown bell peppers in the blazing sun out of their back yards just to eat.

Justifying people living in a country illegally, sidestepping all the immigration laws, dodging taxes, and gaining all the benefits of a U.S. citizen therein because "cheap labor" and "other reasons" isn't really a valid argument. It's cognitive dissonance. It's also bullshit.

Also, so legal citizens in the U.S. now too privileged and snobby for manual labor? Bloodly hell, American was founded on that shit.

She didn't say crypto, she said 'distributed ledgers' and 'blockchain technology'.

"Not 'distributed ledgers', not 'blockchain technology'. Bitcoin! It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!"

OT: Y'know... the MSM is always blabbering on about how volatile Bitcoin's price is.

Have they even fkn looked at Chipotle's 10 yr price chart? Holy smokes. Talk about not understanding its valuation! I wouldn't touch that stock with a hundred foot pole.  

Do u even Lightning, bro? I suppose not. Too busy P2P "transactioning" with exactly no one on the BSV chain.  

And exchange whales colluding and HF wash trading to run up BTC transaction fees doesn't exactly represent true P2P merchant transactions in my book.   But you can go on believing whatever delusion you want.

U mad bro?

Goossens, can you tattoo this one on your body somewhere and make it move as well?  

It seems different people have different tolerance levels to alcohol, and some do just fine to drink regularly all their life.

For me, something changed from my younger years to my older years.

When I was young, I could drink regularly and be a "happy drunk", a buzz would lift my mood and spirit. Would routinely go to "happy hour" after work with friends and colleagues. It was all in good fun.

Then something changed mid-life; a few bad things happened to me, and then I spent a year drowning my sorrows in alcohol. But I noticed that drinking actually had the opposite effect on me than it did when I was younger. It just made me feel more depressed and down. I lost motivation to do things I always loved doing, and I also started to worry about my health and developing alcoholism.

So after that really bad year, I stopped drinking cold turkey for seven months straight. My depression went away completely, mood improved, health improved, and mental clarity got much better. Lost weight. Now I only drink on the rare occasion about once a month, maybe one beer or glass of wine and I'm done with it. It's not a forced thing either, I just don't think about it that much any more.

Had some 'life stuff' going on, went to just observing mode for a bit. Exciting to see BTC market come alive again.
