Oh no, more whale crap again. You haven't seen nothing yet. After the prices go up a bit more, wait till the moon boys come back. It would be time to stay away from Bitcoin communities once again. Your probably right. When the press picks up on these gains it will get full on silly. There will be Fibonacci numbers, Elliot waves, and yes mysterious whales. But still, not a single person will know the future.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a Sh_tcoin and here's why (Bitcoin related)
|

Take a breath, all is fine. Nobody is going to destroy bitcoin. If it COULD be destroyed then it should, but it can't. This is a consensus network and what you or I think is irrelevant. That is the way we want it so that a fork will only be considered bitcoin if the overwhelming majority think so. Which is why BCH has so little value relative to Bitcoin. You can relax or panic, but there is nothing you can do other than use bitcoin the way you want.

Craigslist hasn't really caught on in this part of the world. ...
... we have a couple different sites in Canada that seem more popular...
...Craigslist has basically failed in the UK. ...
Not a whole lot on my local Craigslist...
I guess it's hit or miss then. When I travel abroad I like to check our Craigslist and have had the same experience. Turkey, for example, is Craigslist friendly. Ya never know.

Other / Meta / Re: I'm not going to comply KYC

Keep in mind KYC is NOT for bitcoin. YOU are required to do KYC/AML because YOU want dollars. If your plan is a lifetime of switching your money back and forth, then you will always be doing this.
I never risk my identity and the people I buy stuff from don't really know that it was me who paid.

In a collapse, don't forget to steal the investment bank's money! If we do enter a serious market fall, like 2008, remember that is time to start looking at stocks to buy. Those holding cash when the market bottoms out are in a position to buy up stocks and ride the growth when the economy recovers. This of course assumes the economy will experience future growth.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Finally setting up a full node
|
on: March 25, 2019, 12:04:10 PM
|
I just rebuilt my Linux node machine recently. A full DL of the blockchain took a full week. Fortunately storage is so cheep that I was able to go with a 3 Terabyte HD. That should hold me for a few years. I like having a dedicated machine like this. I usually shop on a different computer and spend from my node for additional privacy.
Thanks for contributing to the network's strength and resilience!
My node finally finished syncing yesterday, i started syncing at the end of December, syncing mostly at nighttime. Now that is synced it doesn't bother much to leave it running; but during syncing the I/O access to the harddrive was insane. I still run bitcoind it with ionice -c3 just in case... When it's syncing it's like Damn, this thing is going to catch fire running like that! Once it does sync it's like, well now it doesn't do anything. I miss syncing. Weak connection or weak hardware. Last time I checked on a dedicated machine it took me maybe half a day for a full sync (probably less). Both! It is an old beat up Dell that is basically a Frankenstein monster. IMO, a node needs to be secure, but not pretty or fast. I know I could set-up my router to get more connections. I'm just not in a hurry.

Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Visa/MasterCard supported Bitcoin or crypto
|
on: March 24, 2019, 07:19:34 PM

... You do not need a credit card if you know how to use bitcoin. It can be done, I cut up my cards in 2012 and have not looked back.
most people do already know how to use bitcoin but why they still have credit cards ? when you cash out , you will be using banks and you need credit cards to withdrew that money . sure you can use other cash out method but credit cards cash out are still easy and less hassel than others . too bad you already cut out you credit card , i feel sorry for your loss . I have suffered no loss. Because of bitcoin I simply do not need credit anymore and have learned what a suckers game borrowing is. So I don't cash out or pay bank fees or credit-card fees or risk my identity, I buy it with bitcoin. No matter if the purchase is a house or a light bulb.

I just hope they are not entering the "alt-coin" phase of understanding crypto. That is when some executive says "Eureka! We should create our own coin, better than bitcoin, meet VisaBucks!"

So where is that message cryptographically signed with the private key for: 1MDq7zyLw6oKichbFiDDZ3aaK59byc6CT8 ? It will only take a minute to do. Sign a Tx and no one will doubt you. Failing to sign a Tx makes you seem like Craig Wright. I have met many of the richest bitcoin holders and they all know how to do this. They also do not make their money by offering a 50% discount. Does not compute.

Economy / Speculation / Re: When Will Bitcoin Be Back To $20,000 ?
|
on: March 18, 2019, 07:15:40 PM
|
The question is why not when. Why should the price be $20K?
Have you sent a letter to Amazon asking them to take crypto? Have you produced something of value then sold it for bitcoin? Did you take bitcoin on your last craigslist add?
Things happen for a reason. Just ass sitting and waiting for a price hike is not doing something. We see the price go up when people are demanding retailers accept bitcoin. When they just hold, the price holds or goes down. it's logic, not magic.
