Notice how everyone has forgotten about Bcash?

I just sent my first BCH transaction and its now over 30 minutes and there is no confirmation. What the F? Are there no nodes to validate?

Congrats. 

Caught up with a friend at lunch that works for a midsize company - 300 employees.  Boss is giving everyone a paper wallet with Bitcoin in it for Xmas.  

Don’t know if they have thought through possible consequences.

What, we broke 4500 and nobody is posting anything?  I guess we're getting used to it.

The story is that he lost 700000 XMR worth about 20500 XBT on his Apple laptop. I am not a fan of Apple and its EULA's but this has to be a record for a click on "I agree".

Edit: I used GNU/Linux on a laptop that I bought from a surplus government auction to make this post .

Wow, haven't seen monero pumped like that in ages. Any reason for the pump?

If weeks ago or even days ago someone said "put loads of money in monero 2 days before btc segwit activation" I would have said you need to take your medication my friend and maybe go back to your padded room.

In a sense, not really. People still don't understand bitcoin and why price in the thousands is low.

Satoshi put an arbitrary number of coins (21mn) out there, and that's where the price is coming from. Had the supply been 21 Billion, instead of million coins, nobody would bother on whether bitcoin is 1-2-3-5-10$. It would seem "cheap". People would say, wow one day it can go to 100$ or 500$ (the equivalent of 100k or 500k for a 21mn supply) and nobody would say "you are greedy"... But because there are 21mn coins, the 5$ equivalent is 5000$ in our case. And still people don't get it and appear impressed by "high prices".

Bitcoin is like Berkshire stocks which cost a quarter of a million bucks without them being "expensive" - but rather as a consequence of the low number of stocks: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/brk-a?ltr=1 ...if people don't get Berkshire pricing, it's unlikely they'll get Bitcoin pricing. And most of the time, they don't. Even those in Bitcoin don't get it.

This is my first real bubble too... from $250 to $3800 is quite amazing, and surely having had made it past the earlier resistance makes these higher levels of resistance quite more realistic and plausible, especially since the rise from $250 has been decently gradual (over nearly two years) as compared with other exponential growth periods that were much shorter.  And, people were pretty fucking pessimistic in 2015, and some hodlers were selling parts of their stash and turning into bears, too... and even the participation in this thread was quite low, too.

So we are truely in better days in which the trend is our friend, especially if we can play it strategically and sell on the way up but not too many, because you want to have a decent stash, even if the unthinkable and the less likely scenarios play out.... that is $20k and then Adam's repetitively favorite $32k thereafer... hahahahaha  I plan to have sold some coins along the way and still have a decent stash of coins in any of those upwards and seemingly less likely scenarios.

What a resentful and judgmental fuck you are.

Of course, hodlers are going to get excited.

Of course, there is going to be a lot of variance regarding when to sell and how much.

Also, it seems that we are currently in an upward trend that is likely to take us a bit of a ways.

I still say next resistance in the $4800 to $6800 territory, and then $8500 to $13000 territory.. and then $16500 to $19k thereafter.

WE gotta get through resistance in each of these areas, and I could see going to the $8500 to $13000 territory in this run, but I have a hard time with any kind of reasonable plausibility of the $16.5k to $19k... range... but what do I know?

My Account "Spaceman_Spiff" was hacked.  I was stupid enough to reuse a weak password (I figured there was no monetary value involved, but now that it happened I am angry I didn't put in a better password anyway).  I saw this guy has been posting on the forum, probably trying to scam people.
He changed the password and the associated email adress.

Does anybody know which moderator I should contact to flag this issue?  Or is there an email address for support or so?  I would prefer it if they could reset the password and change the email adress to mine again, but obviously closing the account is acceptable also, as long as this guy doesn't use my name to scam people.

Maybe peeps are taking their coins off the exchange in advance for the aug 1 chain split and there isn't enough btc to lend?

ROFL!

1.7% daily interest for lending on Poloniex! xD

Money on the like button, now that sounds pretty awesome!
