You all blame Russia but it's clearly the United States that is the aggressor.

Russia desires a multi-polar world where power is shared but the US wants a unipolar world where they have all the power.

As an American citizen, I find this state of affairs absolutely abhorrent. It's time to tone down the pathetic, racist and moronic Russophobic rhetoric which is blatantly false, and filled with lies and falsehoods. The way the United States act today is very similar to Nazi Germany, both in their rhetoric, their actions, and their brainless and obviously false propaganda that they try to pass as "truth".

How dare countries like Iran, Russia, and Syria refuse to allow themselves to be subjugated by outside powers.

For this "crime" of refusing to allow themselves to be enslaved and subservient to American geopolitical objectives, these countries are vilified with endless propaganda by the pathetic prostitutes in the American mainstream media, who Lie everyday in exchange for a living.

Everytime I turn on CNN or Fox or MSNBC or whatever, all I see is blatant propaganda filth and it just makes my blood boil.

The United States has bathed in rivers of blood and caused more human suffering than ANY other country on Earth today - Just look at Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Ukraine, and so many more countries where the US has come in to "spread democracy" and as a result we have millions dead, millions of refugees, the creation of ISIS, and endless chaos and war.

Russia has the moral high ground here. The US on the other hand, is serving the Dark will of an evil and satanic power, and it is through this darkness that the United States will not only be the ones who start future conflicts, but threaten the destruction of our entire civilization. Russia is trying desperately to prevent this.

Stop engaging in pathetic propaganda. Russia is not the problem. It's our country that is clearly the problem. The problem is within. The United States is run by people who are clearly insane, delusional, and dare I say, bonafide psychopaths.

Meanwhile you're all attacking Russia like good little sheep. You will serve nicely as cannon fodder when YOUR leaders start the next war while blaming it on Russia.

God help us all.

What are you smoking?

What the hell did you just say?

We're going back to 3k for the next accumulation phase before the next major bull run in 2019/2020.

We are repeating the same patterns from 2013/2014/2015.

Bitcoin will drop back down to 2-3k and consolidate there for a while before resuming the next major bull run, probably fluctuating between 3 and 5 grand for a while.

Eth will return to $200ish, Bitcoin Cash will drop to 300-400

This is my prediction and I don't give a damn if you think I'm a nutcase.

I can only go off what I see happening now and so far the pattern is almost the same.

Haven't you argued vehemently against increasing Bitcoin's native blocksize limit?

Have you then not served the interests of the fat bankster pigs as well?

We are in a downtrend.

-60% from ATH

What's to argue here again?

So far we are getting numerous deadcat bounces and no convincing rally re-establishing strength to the 12-15k level.

300 million tether printed, which could or could not pump the price and which may or may not be fraudulent (who knows)?

Meanwhile, Bitcoin's transaction volume dropped dramatically after hitting the ceiling. Thousands of people who were trying to use bitcoin for the first time had an absolutely deplorable first use experience, and might not ever try again. Tx volume is continuing to go down. This is certainly not good if you want another huge rally again soon.

Bitcoin needs to be used as actual currency with increasing levels of tx volume in order to maintain it's value. "Store of value" only was always a laughable joke from the beginning.

Hey guys, I have a question.

Why was this coin so successful and popular?

Is it not just a fork of dash with slightly modified parameters?

Just curious, I want to know why this coin is so successful while many other privacy coins tend to lag behind.

Thanks.

Hey, how's it going boys.

Chopstick here.

So I find it interesting how a day or so after going on an anti-Core rant, my account is mysteriously "hacked", PW changed, my account is inaccessible , can't restore it,  change password doesn't work, secret passphrase doesn't work, etc etc.

In any event, Bitcoin is still doing what it's always done...

Pumpin' and dumpin'

The only difference now is that wall street is trading our futures. Wheeee.

I'm not sure why people got excited about that.

The first thing they did was short it.
