There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

This might be the big move I was talking about few days back. Needs a few more dumps on high volume and then it's confirmed. Needs to clear some more lows first. In that case, you're welcome. Next big move should come in a few days (4-6 max)Wait for volume to confirm a breakout/breakdown. If big volume confirms a break in either direction, it should be a major move.  |

I am NOT of the belief that 100% of Alt cryptos are scams; however, there are a lot of scams in that alt coin space. On the other hand, there may be some innovations that will be helpful to bitcoin or even compete with bitcoin, at some point. Here is a good website for monitoring the historical performance of various alt coins: https://coinplorer.com/Charts?fromCurrency=XPM&toCurrency=BTCOne might also note that the recent price performance of a coin does not correlate meaningfully with its technical merit - nor even with itself in the long-run, methinks. Some of the most meritorious and long-lasting blockchains have lower market cap than the latest pump & dump, or the most effective long con. Yet, I think those with a combination of technical merit, sound management and compelling use-cases will outperform the fraud of the day in the long run. Some will displace bitcoin for some important use-cases, by virtue of being better suited to a niche which does not depend upon strictly minimizing exchange friction with BTC. |

You predict a black swan event which can by definition not predicted? Idiot.
IdiotLovely human being, I did not give a date. Doesn't matter. Still you're predicting it. You're not doing it right. |

If you understand hash rates then you'll realize that 1 confirmation of Bitcoin is better than 10 confirmations of your favorite Alt coin with weaker hashes.
Only as long as you have value in BTC's blockchain. And only as long as the hashing is not coordinated. |

Adam is back!!  If Adam is back so am I.  Actually I have been busy with Christmas and a new job (I thought it would be fun to drive for Lyft. Fun? Maybe. Lucrative? Not so much but I guess more so than BTC lately.) |

And Gavin has said on the record he thinks "Satoshi" should eventually get the chance to cash-out Satoshi should be waiting for a chance to buy his own island or a big yacht. Switching to USD to "cash out" would be seen as an act of treason  One of Che Guevara's sons is running a business in Cuba touring rich fat-cats around the island on hundred thousand dollar motorcycles. Revolutions always end up with For Sale signs attached |

Love that pic. Meanwhile bids are getting filled at 336 on virtex (that's roughly 285 USD) Odd that Canadians are that bearish. |
