Imagine if some bitcoiner fell into a coma right after
it cracked 5k last year and just now woke up.
he'd be like...
$6300.. wow! bitcoin up over a $grand in less than a year!!! wooo-hooo!!!
Nonsense. If I ever fall into coma and wake back I would be fully expecting Bitcoin to be well over $100K. Otherwise I would be very disappointed and just fall into coma again until the next halving. ... Yes, I am such a deluded fool. And I am getting a bit annoyed considering there are only few months left before we can't use the "less than a year ago" price reference anymore and we are forced to resort to longer time frames for positive result.  |

Pre-sale ended with 3100 ETH!
Just 900 short of the soft cap. It is very likely we will have a commitment for that much for the main sale soon so I'm 90% certain that the soft cap will be reached before the main sale.
The pre-sale was very much grass roots which is great. The people who actually believe in the project got in early enough to get the bonus. There will be plenty of smart money coming in during the main sale who understand the fundamentals of the financials of Varyon. Hopefully we can get some videos or simple guides to explain the complexity of what role Varyon will play in the seastead.
This may be the end of the pre-sale but it is just the beginning of preparation for a huge main sale. Looking forward to it and wrapping it all up so we can get rolling on this.

Only 15 hours remain to get in on the pre-sale! Currently at 2465 ETH! On the ground here in Tahiti I am hearing good news that will be revealed for the main sale. Along with that news we will be delving a bit deeper into the updates to our whitepaper explaining the many things contributing to the value of your varyon. A bit of a learning curve but in the end, it's good for all varyon holders. Here is a sample:  Wondering the steps for buying varyon?

So...you're saying there's at least $1 billion potential in setting up a crypto gambling site... good to know |

blah blah the reason i dont go into details about the failures is because you seem more interested in making buzzworded statements to make it seem like you know all about whats needed. (via 2 minutes of google searching to find the terminology to make it sound good. but still not actually put in the real effort that real projects put in. as for your glossy images. im all for glossy images. if the images are based off of realistic/logical thought processes and models of design that have had some thought put into it.. the glossy images i have seen from your projects are just utupia EG those images have not got the design concept that shows an architect has taken in all the details of waste, power, utility, transport, comunication, to draw up a basic blueprint. to then pass onto a designer to gloss it up with snazzy colours/wall coverings again i wont go into details of all the flaws. because instead of seeking the "experts" to do a project in a logical order of actually using experts to get the project moving. what it appears is that funding is just used to go on vacations and make video's of presntations purely to boost the money grab. not progress the fundementals and dont waste 4 years money grabbing just to make one prototype.. thats something that can be done in 6 months. phase 1 2022.. makes me laugh and as you said. your last project.. again same plan as this one. failed.. and have you learned why? micro nations are not real nations that can impact real things. in the end they result in communes. of less than 200 people. all requiring to throw alot of money in but then find the area they live is not self sustaining and they have to rely on imports and then export their waste thus rely on regulations of neighbouring countries waste controls. scrw it lets just point out the financial flaw.. wanting THOUSANDS of people to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to get to the billions needed.. for a project that will only house hundred or less.. just doesnt even make a working real estate project viable/realistic.. even with or without the buzzword utopia of "sovereignty/micronation" added into it for al your efforts. you might aswll buy some farmland and just turn it into a crypto town. if you have not learned that even in "international waters" you still have to follow laws/rules. then you have not learned the basics Again, you act as if this is my project. I am an investor and volunteer, retired software engineer. Did I learn from my own project? Yes, there was a long thread (among seasteaders, not people with no knowledge of seasteading dissecting the project). That's how I knew when I found this other project (again, not started by me) that they had what it takes. To say that there is no architecture being done is very very ignorant. The company, Blue21 is an offshoot of DeltaSync. A company that creates floating homes and platforms. It's not rocket science to create a floating platform in a calm lagoon. I sat here in Tahiti on a floating platform this weekend ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Cqf94FSXg). Do I, personally, understand everything there is to know about "an architect has taken in all the details of waste, power, utility, transport, comunication". No, definitely positively not. I am not an expert in all of those fields (though I have 7 years of experience doing simulations of military radio networks plus a Bachelor's degree in telecommunications). The "libertarian utopia" articles are actually hit pieces by journalists that hate Peter Thiel. We don't claim that that is what we are building, you won't find anything having to do with libertarian in any documentation or anything the company announces (I personally want libertarians to be a part of this in the same way that I advocated for libertarians to get involved with Bitcoin early on because I'd rather have them benefit from it and have more input as things grow instead of what happened and everyone wants Bitcoin to be regulated so they can get rich). If you've only read my articles then you will see my biased slant of trying to push for libertarians to be involved. The seastead will be built and I will live on it so I want libertarian neighbors who won't complain if I wanted to smoke some medicinal plant (even though I wouldn't) or 3D print guns from my metal 3D printer. |

I'm thinking the next chapter past the block size debate will be the payment debate.
I haven't been able to scan a QR code in the past few months and have it actually work due to differing protocols.
Found some money on some Korean BTC wallet I had yesterday. Tried to add it to localbitcoins but it was looking for a different format (instead of just BTC address). I've had to switch to PayPal to pay my hosting service because I can't send money from my blockchain.info wallet to their BitPay QR code.

Please, shelby has more IQ then the population of the city where you live - together.
If you dont see the value in his posts i cant really help.
The multiposting was a bit annoying, but he got punished for it and it should be fine now.
I put him on ignore because he quoted and responded to our resident troll too much. |

So...the Bitcoin volatility index is down to 3.5% (down from over 7% in December). Back in 2016 it was down under 1% just before the price started to move upwards. Same in January 2013 and August 2013 (1.7%).
I think that the volatility index will come down next month, bitcoin will be boring, and the price will start it's move up from there (or it might take a couple of months to come down).

I really should consider trading BTC.
I can usually see the indicators of a jump. ie someone with a huge sell wall trying to push prices down before pumping them, high rated individuals on localbitcoins trying to buy very large amounts of bitcoins, etc.
It's just too stressful though. I'd rather just buy and hodl.

Wtf it is 8100 right now what is happening there?
WEX currently has 20% withdrawal fees on USD and EUR, after they removed a few offramps. It was normal until last week, then slowly went to 9%, then 15%, then 20% today. Notice that as withdrawal fees approach 100%, everything will moon. May or may not be a wexit scam after the exchange may or may not have been sold. so many new exchanges have popped up... there will be a big elimination coming... trust the old ones, those who never been hacked and let the suckers do the debugging and join the quest for the best DEX. What are you saying, exactly here? WEX is a rebranding of BTC-e, so of course, they have a long history, and surely their last episode was a bit of a shocker with the US Government getting into their system and seizing some of their assets (but seemingly not the crypto)... WEX already had a really decent opportunity to perform an exit scam... so, it seems doubtful that they would do an exit scam... Of course, some WEX skeptics would assert that they are just engaged in ongoing milking of their customers, and the exit scam will come at some later point, when there is no more customer funds to milk. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps? I have 21,000 NMC on WEX. I've tried so hard to get them off the exchange but have come to accept that I will never get them back. At current NMC/BTC prices, that is about 40 BTC, no? Did you lose verification of your WEX account, because you can withdraw tokens, no? I recall that in July 2017, the US Govt seized BTC-e assets, and it took a bit more than a month for WEX to grant access to previous accounts. I think that there was some ease of access to the new accounts as long as your log-in still worked, and for certain accounts, they required additional verification, I believe mostly if for some reason you had lost access to your previous account - like you lost your password or there was some desire to increase your limits or to deposit/withdraw fiat. Personally, I thought that a large number of users could have gotten by without increasing their verification, as long as their old log-in still worked and was transferred over to WEX - that was the case with me. My old log-in caused me to be able to generate a new password (under their new password system) and then to be able to access all of my balances from my previous BTC-e account - except there was a rebalancing of about 40% or whatever it was for the socializing losses situation that they promised would be paid back 100% - within no later than 2 years, and many of those have not been paid back, yet (about 1 year later). So, I am thinking that there must have been some specific issue with your account that raised questions about whether you needed to increase your verification or whether you could prove your identity.. or did they fuck up your ability to access in some other way? or were there some other circumstances that you are able to pinpoint? I personally have been able to deposit and withdraw BTC from their system, and I have not gotten any increased verifications beyond my previous BTC-e access credentials. I bought the NMC a long time ago when they were very cheap. Kept them on btc-e because they weren't really worth much (compared to my BTC). Before they were seized (about half a year before) I went to log in and pull them off as the price was up a bit and they were actually worth something. But my account had been frozen due to not logging in for a year. They had a long verification process I had to go through to get logged in. I followed it. I move countries all the time so proof of residence is never easy for me. There was back and forth until they asked for a passport (I had given them my Korean drivers license). Once they saw that I was American all communication stopped. I was in a never ending ("processing") holding pattern. Nothing I can do to get it unlocked. They have everything they need. A few of us are trying to track down the owners. The only way I see getting it back is through not so nice means. "You applied for verification. Wait for approval." About a year with that message. |

The big walls usually indicate the direction the price will go. Toward the wall. |

Guys, I'm scared with the prices being so low for so long. I feel desperate in these uncertain times. I doubt the next Bitcoin block will clear due to the low price. Yesterday when walking across the street I cut my foot and now there is blood in the street.  |

2 days left in the presale to get your bonus varyon. $420 for 14,750 VAR (plus 5% bonus). About 2 cents per varyon. Mark that number for posterity. The pre-sale has been mostly grass roots small investors. The main sale may be a different story. Here are a couple of big names that are supporting Varyon.   I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction to the great news we will be presenting for the main sale. Exciting times people. Buckle up. |

Meanwhile...bitcoin price just went into the gutter.
$0 incoming?
Maybe the price will go negative (like Swiss banking interest rates)?

While I don't trust the government and understand that those in power will always want more power, I have a hard time believing in most grand conspiracies. I kept an open mind about 9/11 being an inside job but never saw any evidence that convinced me. One big one for me was when Sarah Palin's personal e-mail was hacked and released to the world. Reading through them it was exactly like you would expect of a candidate running for office...e-mails to various people asking for support and other every day type of stuff. Sure you could say she had some alternative means of communication for talking to her fellow conspirators...but I just don't see it. One of the biggest reasons I don't believe the all powerful government conspiracy is because I've worked for the government for the past 20 years and the incompetence within is mind blowing. It is very much built into the system to reward incompetence. To think that anyone involved in the government is an evil mastermind would require that they be a mastermind in the first place...and they just do not exist. And if they do, the motivation is to go into private industry where that is rewarded. I'm not saying I'm not smart, but I acknowledge that I'm one of the laziest people you'd ever meet (at least after 20 years in government). I likely would not have done very well in the private sector. Or rather, I may have done better starting out in that sector. I realized early on that productivity is definitely not rewarded. Staying under the radar and having the right buzzwords in your resume is all you need. I also claimed to be a Native American (which I am...born and raised). The very reason Bitcoin was built as a tool against the Central Bank Global Control (Conspiracy theory) IMF, BIS, US Fed, Reserve Bank AUS, Bank of England - Rothschilds Some conspiracy theory that still exists today Why were early adopters of bitcoin so enthralled about being free of central bank control, its all in the discussion on this forum in the early days anyhow regardless of any conspiracy the corruption prevails I wouldn't call the problems with central banking a conspiracy. Any time you go counter to the free market you stifle progress. The central bank has just been around too long. Bitcoin is necessary to bring a bit more freedom back to money. |
