Craig has started filing lawsuit against those falsely denying he is Satoshi....they can all have a day in court to try to prove their fake case but the judge will rule that Craig invented Bitcoin because he did and he can prove it.

I'm getting report that people are getting legal notices through Twitter DMs.


Why can't it be a lawdress? This is so fucking bigoted and sexist.

That is most definitely not what was meant in the poll.

my bad then.

still curious as to reasonings for dumping vs hodling though.
I picked dump for the BCash. Couldn't differentiate so went with that.

Is it wrong to be a fan of both Bob and JJG?

I feel like I should be choosing sides here...

LOL j/k. It's all entertainment and part of the WO cycle.


I thought most of us liked both? Although JJG is sometimes too wordy even for me, and I like words and convolutions.

If you quit crypto during the bear market, it may become the biggest financial regret you will ever have. Don't do it.

Bear markets are where future OGs are born.

It's like that marshmallow experiment. Kids that wait for the second marshmallow go off and prosper, the ones that ate theirs immediately... not so much.

This was my dinner for 20 years or so pretty much every night.



It's still my favorite food. I'll take a steak over any other food.
I don't are for cake and candy as well as most sweets.
Pink blood soaked sour cream potatoes and chives is just the icing ontop. Cheesy

A cow is a holy animal for me but it looks delicious too Cheesy
If the meat was made in a lab and no cow was harmed, would you be "allowed" to eat it?

@JJG but there is always some exceptional case in sports where the vegan player stays on top. I am aware of only one such player, Indian Cricketer Virat Kohli

I am far from convinced about the health benefits of veganism.. including the necessity to somehow get all essential fats in a vegan diet through plants or some bullshit, when those essential fats are frequently already present and largely already bio-available (without having to take a bunch of bullshit supplements) in various kinds of meats

google "avocado fats" : 21-29g fat in a ~150g vegetable. That's a lot and those are 'good fats' of a variety that increases HDL.

That said, I have nothing against meat. Overall, for older people it is perhaps beneficial to slowly transition to less red meat.

Animal protein has a different ratio of the four amino acids than plant based protein. If you only consume plant protein you're going to end up with a surplus of some and a shortage of another.

And that's just one of the many deficiencies caused by a vegetarian diet (of course this is not true if you consume things like milk, eggs and/or other animal based foods or supplements). Humans are omnivores. Don't be ashamed of your species, that's silly.

Twenty amino acids, four is a number of nucleotides (A,C,G,T)  Wink.
That said, I am an omnivore, albeit starting to enjoy veggies (and fish) a bit more.



Veggies can be fucking amazing when prepared properly. I actually found myself to eat a shit ton of cabbage during all you can eat hot pots in Japan. Tastes great, doesn't fill you up, and refreshes the palette after mountains of meat in preparation for the next round. When they're soaked in the broth they're just fantastic. Also, that citrus flavoured soy sauce works really well.

@EmreKelly

There it is: @VP Pence says NASA has been directed to return to the moon within the next five years. Any means necessary.

I knew NASA were a bunch of fucking aliens. #BuildTheWallAroundEarth

I wish the UK the best of luck in leaving this dictatorship that guises itself under the banner of democracy. Any short term damages seem to far outweigh a dictatorship on European scale.

It would be nice to imagine becoming a bastion of freedom, but I'm afraid the 19th century flame of liberty has long since died out in this nation.
I wonder how much of that is due to disinformation campaigns as opposed to the true beliefs of the people.

Not sure if I'm starting to tinfoil here, but things are starting to make much more sense now.

Karl Carstens was a member of the German SA during the Nazi era. After the war he was the leader of the CDU/CSU. He was also one of the pillars of the European Union and publicly praised one of the founding fathers, Walter Hallenstein, publicly. Hallenstein was also part of some Nazi groups, although according to Wiki he "distanced himself from them", not very successfully considering his connection to a SA member.

Nowadays the CDU/CSU supports the "Rundfunkbeitrag", which steals in a range of 8 Billion Euros annually from German citizens under the guise of independent reporting. Most of the money goes to actors (for TV series) and executives of the ARD. The Rundfunkbeitrag was created by none other than Adolf Hitler, and to this day the ARD appears to be only marginally more objective than it was during Nazi times.

Today the EU passed Article 13, despite a massive public backlash and outcry. And thus brings us right to the edge of a censorship apparatus comparable to Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. About the Millions of signatures and hundreds of thousands of protesters the CDU only has to say: Paid tech company shills.

tl;dr EU is at least partially a Nazi-creation and increasingly behaves like a dictatorship.

So apparently the EU is passing article 13, without any revision. And thus exposes itself as a dictatorship.

I find the articles regarding capital leaving the UK over Brexit quite entertaining.

After all, the UK would be able to make up its own policies to specifically draw that and even further capital in once the EU can no longer meddle.


Not pretending that I know shit about Brexit or its implications. But the arguments I've seen so far for it being bad were pretty weak (mostly focusing on short-term implications while completely ignoring the long-term).

Would you be so kind as to enlighten me on slippage? In what way would it screw with trading?

I would assume the implication was that: if real volume be truly that large, then slippage should be much less than that experienced.
I understand the correlation between volume and slippage, but I'm not sure how exactly those contracts work as I've never used or read into them.

I was a bit disappointed they did not point their guns at Bitmex.

How they did not? They checked all exchanges with more then $1 m of daily volume on CMC. That was close to 100 exchanges. They posted top10 with most volume. And 10th was polo with $1.4m  So best chance for Bitmex is to be 11th with less that that.  That information is not satisfactory for you?

Bitmex does not trade Bitcoin.  It trades Bitcoin futures, most notably a futures perpetual with physical delivery. And the claimed volume of Bitmex is massive (which makes me think it is fake because slippage is very bad). 

The only two futures exchanges that they mentioned were CME and CBOE.  And XBTprovider which I have never heard of but appears to be real.  Odd.  




Would you be so kind as to enlighten me on slippage? In what way would it screw with trading?

Would it throw you out of a trade when there are insufficient orders in the other direction remaining as opposed to the hard value at which your collateral turns to zero?

I wouldn't bother extrapolating your personal experience to the general population


I edited to add wikpedia link.  You can peruse the sources yourself at your leisure.  

Relevantly the US divorce rate is in decline:  http://time.com/5405757/millennials-us-divorce-rate-decline/
The probability of a marriage lasting for 10 years or longer is something different than the rate of divorce. Even if the former probability excludes cases of deaths ending marriages early. Feel like the 3% number is still too low, even though I'd expect most failed marriages to divorce earlier on rather than later.

Well, strictly speaking 100% of all marriages eventually end
Yeah, but he claimed that 3% of marriages end within 10 years. Which I doubt and can't be bothered looking up. But still, not divorce rates.

Not sure, but you should long cake bakers and short cakes. The increase in demand for cakes implies a mid to long-term increase in supply which implies an exponential down trend for the value of cakes. The cake is a bull trap.

They're a pain to fuck with, trying to fuck with Bcash and bcashsv and get both off the Trezor is a pain in the ass.

For most of them I extracted the private key from the seed and went elsewhere. If you wait for some of these wallets to come up with a splitting tool you might be there forever. I was desperate for my Bitcoin God NOW.
I want to say "There is no Bitcoin God. He ded." but I'm afraid of evoking his wrath.

I used to think I'd live to be around 120 years old. But now, I'm thinking, if I even get to 90 or even 85, that I would have lived a good life anyway. (Or even earlier, but not too early.)

Just need to get that first elusive million, then live on interest.

There are the traditional methods of self-pensioning (without relying on government) and the alternatives are crypto, but not yet mature or stable.

And then, of course, you really need to get term life insurance. Term life is the most basic, most pure, insurance. That is why it is also the cheapest. Something like $30 per month to cover $500k for a 10 year term. You may or may not need longer than that.
Have you read the conversations about rejuvenation and halting aging we've had on the WO?


Also, what's a term insurance and how can it cover $500k over 10 years with only $30 per month? Takes 1389 years without compounding to get to $500k at that rate, so I'm kinda confused.
