You can use this power for good tho. I personally started this rally with a (small) buy wall that never got eaten!

I never liked it, but I love the passion our thread-mates have, and am delighted for them.
This match was not nearly as boring as they normally are.

fuck me

there's a blast from the past...wow

that would be an overclocking artifact I would like to have

When did that team start?

pffft

team33 FTW


BTW, open Zika sprints on WCG right now, got some fans running

So a downgrade is what this is called, too bad SV won't be worth anything by that time anyways.

This aggression will not stand

Wow!.. That's your solution? Bigger Blocks?

I don't understand some people's way of thinking. We are living in an era where almost anything is possible, we just need to be able to imagine it.

Let me dumb it down here...

How do we fix a traffic congestion. I know, let's build/add more lanes on the freeway. that will solve the issue, Right?. Where do we stop? 10 lanes, 100 lanes , 1000 lanes?

Can you see a problem? Eventually your solution will be obsolete, eventually the traffic congestions will surface. Not only that, what about the towns and cities that may be around the freeway when it was just 2 lanes, you would have to demolish the towns and buildings to build these new lanes, eventually you won't have any towns and city to use the freeway with 100 lanes.

Not only that, what if the land is not suitable for your extra lanes. Ie, mountains/rivers/lakes etc.

The solution is not simple, it would have to involve a multi point attack. We could implement, high speed rail to move people around faster, we could use other transport methods, increase Bus or Multi-Passenger vecihles to reduce the amount of cars using the freeway. We can even think outside the box, change peoples driving and transport habit, work from home in the first 2 hours. Leave work later etc etc.

Now back to Bitcoin, does this sound familiar, now can you relate to what the developers are trying to archive? Layer 2? LN?

If you think Bitcoin is crippled because of small block size, then you are still thinking inside the box, and do not have the capacity to understand the full ramifications of larger and larger block size, let alone the importance of a smaller block size. Again, this is only one aspect of Bitcoin.

The other night, I came home and the front light was out. I found my keys, but was struggling to see in the dark, took a tad bit longer to get the front door open, then I thought to myself, wouldn't it be awesome if I had one of those proximity cards, like I do at work, and be able to just swipe my wallet and get inside. So in other words, my house is CRIPPLED and I should move out to my Office/Work. Again, the front door lock is just one aspect of my house.

"One does not grow a system by limiting the things for which it is useful." <- That doesn't apply to Bitcoin, data shows Bitcoin usage has grown year on year. Never have been limiting Bitcoin, infact, we are finding ways to push the boundary of it "usefulness"

The biggest problem you have with your mindset is that you are only thinking about what is here now and not what could be here in the next 5/10/15 years. The Bitcoin developers, not only have to think about block size, they have to think about the whole of BITCOIN. Do not ever say they deliberately crippled Bitcoin, because that is an insult!

Don't think it is hacked, he has been trolling with twitter and twitter profiles for years.
Elon knows a thing or two about crypto (see also answers on what money Mars will use) but claims to currently not own any.
(all total speculation below:)
In fact, I think he doesn't have any cash at all, except for some fund for his children that hopefully isn't in his own name.
Except from some toys and pocket cash everything is invested in his companies, then borrowed against his shares and invested that too. He is in well over 100% trying to remain the largest shareholder, and I think that is the right move with his work/home balance. TSLA stock is almost as much fun as BTC and the only stock I own. About 25% of tesla stock is currently shorted, in my opinion without good reason, so it will be fun to watch how that pans out. But stock is totally boring in weekends, that is what I have the BTC for.

Gentlemen (and trolls)
With a sad eye and a heavy heart, I bring you bad news. Yes we have a a traitor in our midst

This is no joking matter JJG. It's pure, vile treachery.

Ahh, the glowing green phosphors, odd that they should buoy my mood so.

The wife is pregnant and under orders from the doctor for no sex. I may be in quite a forgiving mood when it comes to looks right now and the beer is adding to it.
