I've seen this sort of rhetoric coming out of the BCH camp a good amount of the time, talking about al of the horrible things that Block stream is doing to Bitcoin. To be dead-honest with you all, I don't know if there's any truth to anything about the anti-blockstream rhetoric.

Could someone try to explain why people have issues with Blockstream, and why the BCH camp team is right / wrong.

Could I ask why a good deal of you who post in this thread regularly have hats as your avatar, I don't know if I missing something or can't read the hats. Please let me know, I've been sitting here making up reasons and I need some real reasons soon!

This is just a random thread which is going to attempt to lure in your money and then run with it, if anyone is new on here know that that's something that CAN happen. Bet on trusted websites, and trusted websites only. Once your coins are sent, they are gone forever.


It doesn't. Don't bet on this shady site.


See I didn't think this site could get anyworse, but they've done it. #Surprised.

I think the only reason most of us like his prediction is the fact that he'll eat his penis if it doesn't come true. At least that's why I'm interested. That'd be hysterical.

I meant to write 'when sending the bot your username on bitcointalk' typed a little too fast and missed that.

Hope that helps!

Maybe the Maduro government should hold real elections, instead of ones where they're rigged to the point where other parties know that it's not even worth it to run -- as Maduro is just going to rig it. Maybe Maduro also shouldn't be stripping his legislators of all of their power and then forming another legislator that is just his party.

Maduro has broken the constitution of his own country and is a failed leader. Want to hear some of the examples of Maduros failures?

1. Maduro forms a program named "Safe Homeland" which was an attempt to lower the crime rates in the country. Since the initiation of the program, the murder rate has increased by approximately 8 percent in 2-3 years.

2.Economic Policy - This is the worst of them all, as Venezuela has seen hyperinflation to the toon of 2 million percent per year. The country has been in a depression since 2014 (so five years now) with no end in sight under the government of Maduro.

3. Maduro, through his failed policies, has been forced to give up massive amounts of power to the military members of his country to maintain control. As without them, and their support, he would be no more.

He is not a legitimate President, Guaido is. ( a legitimate interim President)

Hehe.

Verified!

Even if I don't agree that we're out of a 'crypto winter' I will without a doubt agree that going over a number such as 4000 is breaking a psychological barrier. Just like going back under 4k would be and going above 5k, etc.

I just don't like when people think that going down by a massive amount (from ATH) and then going up a tad, is 'a recovery' or something like this.

Despite a military blockade at the Venezuelan border by disputed President Maduro, the United States and Colombia attempted to deliver humanitarian aid to the nation. Maduro has said that he thinks the delivering of aid is a way to humiliate his government and cause mass defects. Protests have ensued across Venezuela, as protests have clashed with government forces.

In the WSJ article that I've read about it, Venezuela desperately needs the humanitarian aid as poverty has soared, the economy is crashing, and inflation is around 2 million percent per year (yes you've read this)

Read the article here - https://www.wsj.com/articles/venezuelan-troops-defect-amid-showdown-at-border-11550931389?mod=hp_lead_pos1

I think the sad truth of this all is that if some humanitarian aid can cause mass defects, you should probably resign and let someone else run your government. As you're probably not doing a good job. What does everyone else think about this situation?

Ah, here comes these posts again. We're down a shit ton since 20k, and now we're up a couple percent and people are freaking out. I love the Crypto space for stuff like this, it's hysterical.


+1.


The market could go three ways right now, I've done a lot of analysis to come to this conclusion. The market can either go up, down or stay in the same area.

Ah, I can only dream that one day I can learn the reasoning behind all of the crazy events that happen in our day to day. Until then, I guess I'll just have to post random shit on the internet and pray something sticks.

The US isn't importing weapons btw, they're bringing in humanitarian aid which was DONATED.

The reasoning behind using this platform is the ease of use -- and the number of people that already do use it. If you want to go ahead and make your own Freenode platform, go right ahead. I think members of the community would like that as well. But to each their own.



Those captcha firetrucks are amazing!

You're verified. Just so you know, people that aren't verified can't message in the community at all.

Verified and added to be able to chat / join voice channels!

I've gone ahead and made a community on Discord so we're able to communicate with one another, though to be able to be apart of the community and message on it, you need to verify yourself as a member of the bitcointalk community.

For anyone that hasn't used Discord yet, it's a mixture of Slack, Teamspeak, and Skype to form an amazing group messaging application.

Here's the link to the community if you'd like to join, I do hope to have a vibrant community built over there! - https://discordapp.com/invite/yu7XyW5

Simply state your discord name in this format. You'll soon be verified on there manually by myself, hopefully we can have this automated in the future.

"Discord Name = InsertName"

This person has already been banned. You're going to have issues like this within any community, just like we have here. I'll work something out to auto remove people with names of this sort.

Hope it doesn't put you off joining the community! First couple days are just going to be working out the kinks.

Within the day I'll setup a group that only allows you to chat within the community if you've verified your name on here on a thread, though I can't make this yet -- as I'm at work -- I'll without a doubt have it setup later to remove issues like this from arising again.

EDIT: I've made it, check here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113519.new#new

This is actually a very good idea, I’ll set something up like this when I get home!

Hm, yeah that's a pretty big problem -- though I do see the Catch 22 type issue here and that's not something which is good.

I think another issue with Wasabi is the issue of there being too high of a minimum for conjoin, which I think is around .099 (somewhere around $380 USD as of right now) That's going to price a good deal of people out of using this service, and that's pretty sad to see as it is a good service that could be used to bring privacy to so many. I don't know the reason behind this sort of minimum, I do hope that there is someone here that could shine some light on that.

Well Liberals loving having a double standard, right? That's their favorite thing to jump to if they're having an issue.

It's a crazy world that Jussie's story is going to soon fade into oblivion, even though he made up his story. But there are still liberals that swear, without evidence, that Kavanaugh is a rapist.

For anyone interested to be apart of the discord community for Bitcointalk, I've made it here.

https://discord.gg/yu7XyW5

Hopefully, we can all have a good time here! Would be fun to see real-time chats.

For anyone that doesn't have discord, it's like a mixture between the old AIM chat and Teamspeak. It has areas where you can voice chat and just text chat with people, alongside private messages with people as well.

Here's a download link to discord - https://discordapp.com/ -- Not necessary to download though, as you can just use a web app if that's what you'd like.

We should make a community DISCORD! Don't know how many of you have it, but its an amazing platform.
