Yup. BCH, in the form of SV, is midway through demonstrating that: - so-called 'nodes' don't matter - miners decide, restrained only by the threat of users abandoning the chain - forks can be just an upgrade mechanism - decisively, if backed by hash - the most proof of work chain matters
But what doesn't seem to matter is actual user adoption, merchant adoption, investor interest, anyone really giving a shit, etc.

BAKKT launch
I thought YOU were smarter than THAT.. Not sure what you mean. I could give a shit about BAKKT. However, I am smart enough to know that the deep pocket players that will be playing the BAKKT game aren't going to start kick off without dumping the current market price first. Scare out the little guys and take positions. It's market strategy 101. And this market is so easy to dump (if you have the coins like miners and exchange operators do). The float is thin as a pancake. Overall daily trading volume is a joke. Hell, some of the exchanges could even be running completely phantom trades.

Not seeing the correlation between "a shaking of the ol' tree" and being merely a month out from the BAKKT launch? You think CSW's rhetoric timing was just a coincidence? Tsk tsk, I thought you guys were smarter than that...

Lol, you only show up on your own thread when dumps happen.
Silent as a mouse for months now.

I pray this is the sweet sweet sound of Ver, Wu, CSW, and that whore-n-party-loving man child douchebag guy selling all of their BTC forever.
Amen.

Ethereum has lost a lot of credibility this year, lots of ICOs moved away from it and its price crashed hard. If it (finally) fixes its scalability problem, it can be good for many projects and for the whole market.
Dude, you are not going to find any ETH or shitcoin sympathizers here. Ethereum has much bigger problems than scalability. Like having a reason for existing. Other than as a slow, shitty platform that allows other shitcoins to exist and trade. Zero real world use case. A solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist. Even Vitalik admits it.

Lol, everyone has to walk on egg shells, they don't want to upset him, and have him storm out in a hissy fit.
Reviewing the real Satoshi's early emails and forum posts, it is so easy to see that he was ego-centric narcissist with an anger hair trigger, just about anything would set him off. Especially if you said something he didn't agree with...so CSW must definitely be him... ....not. yes in case you were wondering this was sarcasm

Nocoiners must also not be investors. Because under the mantra of "buy low, sell high", then every asset in life would be considered a ponzi by their definition. Although personally, I abhor the idea of selling bitcoin back for fiat. Especially since I went through all the trouble of obtaining it in the first place. I'd rather be able to spend it for everything, including paying bills and taxes with it. The only reason I would ever sell bitcoin for fiat is if I couldn't purchase the good or service I needed with bitcoin directly. Some of you hypocrites are talking out both sides of your ass though. You can't square spouting out "Bitcoin is money, and better than fiat! Fuck banks!" while also muttering "I can't wait for the next ATH so I can cash out [to fiat]!" Those two philosophies are diametrically opposed, in case you were wondering.

OT : Conspiracy Theory of the Day - California Fires
Hmmm, let's see.... when the economy has a major downturn and people start struggling to pay their monthly bills, what is one monthly service bill that people think they can shed and get away with it?
Yep, you guessed it, it's their monthly Home Insurance payment.
And when this starts to happen nationwide by the hundreds of thousands, millions of citizens, the Insurance Megacorps overlords start to get very upset. Then as they start to lose even more money, they get desperate. How would the Insurance Megacorps go about putting the fear of God back into those citizens to sign back up for their home insurance?
Hmmm....maybe....mega fires....?? DEW?
Nah. Just coincidence, quack theory, blah blah.
Or...?
Why did 6 out of the 10 deadliest and costliest California fires in *history* happen just since 2015?

Volume still pitiful and anemic. Whale traders have not come back yet. We are still adrift. Could be this way for a long time.

Pamping the shitcoins first to throw off the newb investors and traders

Too bad they always agree on "we need more wars"... gridlock or not.
More like they always agree on "we need to pile on another $800B/year to the nation debt". Irrelevant what they spend it on.... gridlock or not.

OT: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/06/stock-futures-open-flat-as-investors-await-midterm-elections-results.htmlAlong with gaining clarity on the midterm's outcome, investors were bullish because they believe the Washington gridlock scenario will be best for the market, allowing President Donald Trump's business-friendly policies to continue but keeping a check on some of his more disruptive market actions like the trade battle with China. History has also pointed to strong returns for equity markets when Congress is divided.
So there it is, folks. Wall Street actually prefers Washington gridlocked, divided, and getting nothing accomplished but spending taxpayer money to do nothing.

I’m generally not a fan of Falkvinge, but this piece on predators (Specifically Craig Wright) is spot on, and has pushed me into completely ignoring him. https://youtu.be/Zkg_-_HwRcIUh, wait... isn't Rick being hypocritical here? I remember when the "CEO of BCash" had his head so far up CSW's ass it wasn't even funny.

I just find it strange how over 15k shorts on just bitfinex can close so seemlessly in a weeks time. Obviously, someone with huge pockets see's a rise in the future.

Edit: I've uploaded the new avatar, but still no change. Guess I'll have to wait...
I had to mess around with mine before it would change. I think I had to convert it to a png before it would change on bitcointalk, unless all I needed to do was wait, or clear my cache or something. Tried changing to a png and that seemed to work, thanks.
