Today is the day Roger Ver was supposed to participate in the Alex Jones show (oh well, the perfect audience to spread your conspiracy theories and lies if you ask me) After waiting patiently, it turned finally to be another lie from him.
This guy is out of mind...

7005  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dropping again like a stone on: February 07, 2018, 04:54:46 PM
This is too much now.  For a few hours it was up and up.  And now down down down.  I was hoping for the sake of people who have bought in it would be a good price for them to sell and make a profit in a while.  But no  now down again.  What I think is this.  People have bought and paid money in.  And Then whales have come along and taken the lot.  It's wrong.  

There are a few things to consider here:

1) The demand from people seeking information about Bitcoin dropped. Keep in mind it doesn' mean Bitcoin is dead, it means the hype about Bitcoin is faded

2) The same situation happened before, and more than 1 time

3) The cryptocurrencies market is not the only market to crash
    Losses in 24H Dow $300 billion Google $40 billion 500 richest people $114 billio

4) The mainstream media and the average Joe who don't understand the news and spread information spun (aka fake news, lies, misinterpretations) intentionally or not...





7006  Economy / Economics / Re: Centralisation vs. decentralisation in society and the role of the blockchain on: February 07, 2018, 03:27:30 PM

In Switzerland, there is a government of course, but when they want to introduce a new law, regulation, etc, do you know what they do? A referendum and every citizen is welcome to give their vote on a particular proposal to say yes or no. They have a referendum on almost anything.
So a society without a "Power is in the hands of a few" is possible, but if the citizens don't really care then there is not much to do

BTW, I just finished to read the article on futurism.com posted in the OP, it's a very good article to read.

That is called "liquid democracy" and I am a strong supporter. During my short spell into politics (just wanted to make a difference) I was really advocating this system. The only problem is that in our country people are mainly criticizing everything so there is a danger that it would put a break on all progress. But I believe it would change if Government showed some good moves. Also, I don't see any harm in trying if the current system is not showing good results.

By the way, a little off-topic, I always admired Switzerland for being neutral and saying "screw you" to all that war-hunger human stupidities.

Would you mind sending me a link to the article, I wasn't able to find it?

Thanks, I didn't know about a "liquid democracy" I checked it on Wikipedia.
I am confused, I am not sure what link article you're asking. I was referring to the link you posted https://futurism.com/sponsored-how-centralization-paralyzing-society/

I am not Swiss but I learned about Switzerland's system by watching a documentary about the economy there. I couldn't imagine such system is still possible lol. I was so surprised that I watched the documentary 3 times. The politic and economy is awesome there, it has surely some weakness but every country has some. When it's about foreign affairs policy and international relations the country is very smart.
If you notice you never hear about the country involved in shady practices, behaviors, etc... "Mind your business" works very well for this country lol

7008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UK Banking Giant Lloyds Bank Ban Bitcoin Purchases on Credit Cards on: February 07, 2018, 02:39:09 PM
I am not sure how the credit card system works in these countries that are banning bitcoin purchases but people are saying they can not buy stocks, bonds, mutual funds with credit cards either. oh and here is a reference:
https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/10-things-credit-cards-wont-easily-buy-1267.php

so why is not being able to buy bitcoin with some credit cards now  a big deal?!!

Because 18% of people are using a credit card to buy bitcoin. (I am referring to credit cards with borrowed money, not debit cards) and this is not negligible. Another thing is the fact it happens suddenly without warning while people were using this method for quite some time now.

It's not the countries that are baning but the banks and credits cards. The company Discover also started to block the payments to buy cryptos

Quite interesting indeed. The only thing is about from where the web traffic and analytics data come from? I don't see any source quoted in the article. If it has been collected using Alexa (or any other 3rd party), it doesn' give enough an accurate overview because everyone can fake the Alexa rank and secondly Alexa has a particular process to evaluate a website's rank.

But still interesting to read.

Don't know I am just a member here, but for example, such comment:

"of course, kids should learn about economics in general"

Considering it was surely in a thread with a thousand of useless posts. Your post adds nothing to a conversation. ok, you think kids should learn economics but it has been said perhaps 100 times already, This is a problem here, people just re-use what has been said over and over in this same topic

But there is maybe another reason...

Short comments with few words adding nothing to the conversation is the reason I suppose

@Carlton Banks

Their fans are brainwashed like in a cult. They are stubborns and don't have a lot of arguments to defend their own project. Other than saying Bitcoin cash is the real Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash is following the Satoshi white paper and Bitcoin isn't, or the lightning network is bad (for whatever the reasons they have...)
Other than that, it's quite impossible to debate with them. They have their own opinion and are not open considering something else.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin, and Bitcoin cash is Bitcoin cash an altcoin and it will always be. No matter if a day Bitcoin cash is better than Bitcoin, Bitcoin will stay Bitcoin, I won't change my opinion about this.
Otherwise, we could say Ubuntu is the real Debian or Lubuntu is the real Debian as well. And why not to say Opera browser is the real Chromium project.
Or using the Money as a comparison, it is legitime to say the EUR currency is the real US Dollar.

Using aggressive methods to promote their product isn't the good way to do it, and if they need to lie to people then they will fail soon or later. The percentage of people using Bitcoin cash is very low compared to Bitcoin, why? Because they are not interested using it. So instead to steal the Bitcoin notoriety they should rather learn from it and find their own way.

I call bitcoin cash on twitter Btrash with other Bitcoiners. I wasn't doing it previously and have never got an interest in. Until I noticed a propaganda from Roger Ver against Bitcoin, so I started to watch what and how he is doing it.

Here is a perfect and short description

Quote
Bcash marketing strategy:
-confuse people into thinking they are the real bitcoin.

I found a really shady method he is using but have nothing to back up my words...yet...

So then I started to be anti Btrash there. I am glad to see there are still a lot of people with a "love" with Bitcoin like in the early days. I connected with a lot of people.

This Roger Ver is acting like a child and getting desperate with his btrash shilling
He should start maybe to think going back to work for Google

A hashtag is something that can be misused here, and I won't be surprised if it starts the day 1.

Nobody from the haters posted something about the stock market? Still, Bitcoin is worth more than some months ago. About $3,000-$4,000 more than 2 or 3 months ago. Now go to ask the shareholders losing their money right now like the water in Niagara is falls. I will be part of the Elite in 3-4 years from now. I #HODL





The Dow Just Lost Even More Than Bitcoin. But Don't Call it a Stock Market Crash

Quote
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,000 points for the first time ever Monday. There were only two stocks in the S&P 500 that were up for the day, while all of the Dow’s 30 members fell. Both indexes are now down for 2018, having erased all of their gains for the year.

While Bitcoin, which fell as much as 23% on Monday, shed nearly $18 billion in market value during the day, the stock market fared even worse: The Dow stocks alone lost more than $300 billion.

In one particularly gory example, Google parent company Alphabet (GOOGL, -0.55%) (which is not in the Dow), lost $40 billion of its market cap for the second trading day in a row—meaning Alphabet stock investors have lost more than $80 billion since Friday.

Phishing is popular with cybercriminals, as it is far easier to trick someone into clicking a malicious link in a seemingly legitimate phishing email than trying to break through a computer's defenses. Phishing attacks typically rely on social networking techniques applied to email or other electronic communication methods, including direct messages sent over social networks, SMS text messages and other instant messaging modes. Phishers may use social engineering and other public sources of information, including social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, to gather background information about the victim's personal and work history, his interests, and his activities. Typically, a victim receives a message that appears to have been sent by a known contact or organization. The attack is carried out either through a malicious file attachment that contains phishing software, or through links connecting to malicious websites. In either case, the objective is to install malware on the user's device or direct the victim to a malicious website set up to trick them into divulging personal and financial information, such as passwords, account IDs or credit card details.

...So he can add, a constructive post doesn't need to use CAPS, it's usually mean shouting, on the internet...

I just would like to say:
A constructive post can be just a sentence or few words. If you ask me "Is it Monday today?" I am not going to write a white paper to tell you yes...
And No, I disagree to say it is important that it is not just based on your opinion, you can make a 'constructive post" based only on your opinion. We're on a forum and interacting with a community and so communicate each other

Yeah,crypto currency is not only falling the stock market also crashing which is happened due to the deflation from tether as experts

Who told you this?  Cheesy Cheesy If the stock is able to crash because of a cryptocurrency, we would see the stock market crashing once per week.
I imagine on the news reading Boeing stock crashed because Dogecoin  passed away.
Really man, just LOL, be serious. Sometimes you guys have ridiculous ideas coming from nowhere
