241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC Segwit is over 70% on: April 13, 2017, 02:46:55 PM
Looks like it is not going to make Segwit  Embarrassed

Why do you say that??? It's currently at 82%
Because YOU do not understand the activation process. There must be 75% of an activation period of 8064 blocks. We are in period 5. There is no way it will activate in period 5 because there are not enough blocks left to achieve the required 75% activation.

Period 6 is where it CAN happen, if things stay the way they are. Do you think that is going to happen?


Depends,

I heard somewhere that Jihan Wu is purposefully signaling SegWit and will pull the signal at the last minute, in order to create a pump and dump. I am not sure if it will happen or not. I would like for it to happen.

perhaps u mean Wang Chun? whos stated openly he shorts before making twitter posts. i was thinkin it would be funny to pump ltc on one of his post  Cool

You are giving up to soon. Giving in to the fear. Just buy an amount of LTC that you feel content with. Enough so you don't feel greed and not too much so you don't feel fear. It's all about these 2 emotions. If you were like you said All in LTC earlier today that's WAY to much and of course that will lead to bad decissions driven by fear.

bitcoin seems to hitting a local top here that together with the LTC Segwit situations makes LTC a great buy atm imo. (I hold ltc but only small amount if you look to my net worth.)

Fuck all of them. I don't need their manipulation. Money is not the most important need we have in this life.

It is a matter of principle now. I don't care if LTC goes to $100. I am not going to buy it. They had their chance with me. And they destroyed it.

lol you are rather skittish, then again i've held all along (tis my reserve for many years) so yeah i'm loooooong with no intention of selling, tis not about the fiat.
244  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Segwit for LTC really necessary? Why? on: April 11, 2017, 04:04:22 PM
You say Segwit must be tested on Litecoin, is it not secure to implement directly on Bitcoin?
If LTC is only for testing Segwit, do you see no value in LTC per se?

well last time i looked testnet bitcoins had no monetary value so yes most definitively if this is all about litecoin being merely a testbed for segwit on bitcoin then yes litecoin is a worthless token.

however while that maybe the line coblee and co are feeding you thats not the game thats being played out  Lips sealed
245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: April 09, 2017, 01:35:13 PM
At a moment I don't see any competition to bitcoins as it is ruling the digital world and altcoins cannot be compared to bitcoins as they cannot be used for shopping or converted to fiat and in that case bitcoin holds upper hand over the altcoins.

If you are not studying what is really going on with bitcoin then you can say such things that bitcoin has no competition. At this point of time there are many coins that compete with bitcoins and the famous one was Ethereum. If in case bitcoin cannot solved all the problems it is facing right now then Ethereum will take its place as the new medium of exchange between altcoins trading.

sorry no one who believed in the original bitcoin would touch Ethereum with a ten foot poll.
246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AsicBoost Probably the reason Segwit is being blocked. on: April 09, 2017, 01:24:35 PM
No. They dominate the production processes for making ASICs in the first place, and since every day counts when it comes to earning back the cost of mining equipment, sheer proximity matters. It makes sense they would end up dominating mining itself, since they also have cheap labor and cheap electricity and cool temperatures in certain areas (Himalayas, inner Mongolia etc.)

This won't help if the Chinese government cracks down on Bitcoin. They can mine all the bitcoins they want, but they won't be able to convert it into ready cash to pay their bills.

really  Huh you do know you can just send bitcoin across boarder, hell it makes for an easier way to send money from china os (ie get around the 50k limits on everyone).

Certainly, bitcoin is the only coin in a crypto currency which can be concerted into fiat vice versa. However, it's not impossible that a crpto currency coin can have ots exchanger since the market of crypto currency is spreading annd developing.

 Huh that just shows like many blinkered bitcoin users; you don't get out much  Roll Eyes

plenty of cryptos can be directly convert to fiat without the use of bitcoin, in fact litecoin, eth, etc, even doge are much easier to do so as they actually arrive  Wink

when printed in black and white this outlook is really sad
and it is looking more and more like this to me
so much for an alternative to the FIAT system which we are all still tied to
nope it seems just as corrupt

could not agree more.

although tis not like its anything new in bitcoin, i left the scene originally around when btc was $5 and by what was going on, i'd come to the same conclusion way back then  Shocked
251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who else is tired of this shit? on: April 08, 2017, 12:49:45 AM
lets be honest without the whales (and manipulation) Bitcoin would be only priced on its true worth and that would be approaching zero  Lips sealed

I partially agree but was that what really caused Bitcoin to be valued so highly? Back when it started out, there were only whales, remember? And that's when Bitcoin was virtually zero cents. I think the "manipulation" is highly natural and only possible when there weren't only whales. In any case, they're like anything else: can't live with/without =)


at the start when the price was very low, the largest holders weren't really whales as the coins had low price so even the largest holders weren't worth much. and unlike today it was not the largest holders that manipulated the price early on.

bitcoin price gain in the early period, when exchanges first started, was 100% the early exchanges simply lying about the bitcoin price every day on their books (so not whale manipulation like today), this gave the intial price breakthroughs $1 + etc right up to even gox doing it through the $200 mark.
this has been confessed to by early exchanges owners, and proven in gox books etc.

yes as you say you need more then whales for current price manipulation, obviously you need both the manipulator and the manipulatees.

How do you justify the blatant BS linked above (your quote of me) wherein the Chinaman deliberately says some BS to crash the LTC price?

thats one tool in a pool of many. seen Americans (famous Bitcoin is a failed experiment line), Russians, Japanese all do the same bitcoin/crypto over its history.

That is why we need an altcoin wherein the hodlers aren't speculating. They are using the tokens for something in which they have no desire to speculate with them.

With that wide base of transaction use which doesn't care about the exchange value, the manipulators will not be able to have much impact.

As I said, I have some ideas about how to make whales impotent. Traders won't like it, but long-term HODLers are going to love it, because it is deflationary, which is even better than Bitcoin (i.e. the coin supply will shrink forever never reaching 0).

you know traders or even greed isn't always a negative, there can be win win economic scenario's where greed and speculation is a positive driving force.

though in crypto atm i would agree many traders/manipulators are behaving like chickens without heads and going for personal profit without any thought to the entire ecosystem. however that often goes with the territory, tis just in the wild west phase atm.

But could it be less noisy if the whales weren't able to threaten much harm? I have some ideas about making whales impotent.

I dont think this is an honest view that bitcoin will be zero without whales and manipulation. I think Bitcoin will still be much worth and people will still be using bitcoin. The only thing that wont happen is the sudden increase or decrease in prices of bitcoins.

lol where you around in the early gox era  Roll Eyes

Given the Chinese now know they have us by the balls, they are always manipulating the LTC markets as well. Using all this to pump up and crash the LTC price at will and taking more BTC from all of us.

the LTC manipulators aren't trying to take BTC off you, to many LTC traders (including myself), LTC is BTC (without the premine).

and its not about chinese, just because the largest exchanges/farms are from china doesn't mean its the chinese (i trade 99% of my trades on chinese exchanges because thats where the liquidity is, and many of the chinese mining farms are back by US/european investors).

in anycase the current rise in LTC wasn't the chinese the chinese exchanges are lagging in that massively (because the big chinese exchanges only fiat can be withdrawn your LTC/BTC is currently locked).

in summary LTC/BTC is more crossboarder then you realise, when simply crediting any one national group with any control.
