What would those be?

Well, in my particular case, I'm a very successful former Silicon Valley tech-dork that parlayed the capital into becoming a successful cattle rancher, to escape the rat-race.

I've maintained discipline and have always planned for the long term with my finances; never living beyond my means.

If I was not gainfully employed at present, I would have no problems living out the rest of my natural life, with my partner, in luxury, beyond any childhood dreams.

K traits. No ?

Yup. But is any of that a result of your sexual preference?

Fungibility ... means the object in reference can't just randomly transform from an elephant to a flamingo.

Fungibility is simply the property that any unit of some substance is functionally equivalent to all other units of that substance.

Don't play stupid.  You know damn well bitcoin is not fungible

Not perfectly fungible, no. Can you name anything that is? Other than XMR and relatives, and ZEC and relatives, nothing comes close. Certainly neither PMs nor fiat.

Bitcoin Segwit is certainly at least a two-set system as far as fungibility goes. Bitcoin Cash is much better on the fungibility scale. It at least is not a two-set system.

nor money by definition

Incorrect. Your repeated assertions of this have been supported by insufficient evidence.

, and that an "evolving protocol" is also never going to be fungible

To the extent that the units are indistinguishable from each other, they are perfectly fungible. Yes, as long as there is a way to distinguish, then they are to some degree infungible. And to be pedantic, any measure of infungibility means 'not fungible' (again, what is?). But the protocol change has absolutely nothing to do with this. When the protocol changes, all the units change in the exact same manner.

It's hilarious to see the panic and sabotage calls on reddit and in this forum.

Meanwhile, the fees continue to rise:

[jbreher]

I meant stupid in the sense of it being a relatively useless and absolute dead end coin. In light of its inevitable future one would have to be stupid to actually have it and believe in it.

But nonetheless, congratulations on your short term profit. Dump that shit soon, though.

I sense a grave disappointment and a grave disillusionment in your future. All due to your myopic misunderstanding of the value of Bitcoin Cash. Oh well - c'est la guerre.

[Torque]

Que the typical bcash shills and bear trolls.

Right on schedule. I can set my watch to your appearances now. 

[jbreher]

Get real.

Bitcoin has been under attack multiple times because it is a target for a lot of hostilities, whether from Bcash or other various sources,

Get real.

Bitcoin Segwit is not under attack by Bitcoin Cash. Rather, Bitcoin Cash is competing with Bitcoin Segwit in the marketplace.

Then how would you explain such ridiculous terms as "Operation DragonSlayer"? As you can imagine, Bitcoin is the "dragon" here and Bitcoin Cash is its "slayer". Pretty aggressive tone.

Provocative names are used to build a sense of esprit de corps. Would you have felt better if the loosely-organized (more like unorganized) initiative was named 'Operation Enduring Freedom'?

[Lopumbo]

all this "attack" talk is so hilarious and /r/bitcoin is pure comedy
its like amd vs. nvidia and all the evil plans   - will never understand such blatantly blinded people

but well, i made 0.5 BCH today, for free 

[Ibian]

Yup. But is any of that a result of your sexual preference?

You tell me.

Don't see why it would be?

If we split the r psychology into different traits, and do the same with K, and assume that whatever combination you end up with is essentially down to a lottery, then being 100% into men while otherwise being a hard K would just mean your K traits don't get passed on.

Neither side is likely to like that combination, from an evolutionary perspective. r's will notice the K parts and hate you for it (their primary motivators are hate and envy - my sister is currently going through A Thing which we speculate may be prompted in part by my sudden personal wealth), and K's as a whole won't see the K parts passed on to future generations, which goes a way to explaining why present day russians don't like gays - they are in the K phase of the cultural cycle at the moment.

Kids Wars 1.0.
jbreher, go cuddle with Roger. But please don't rage quit.
I skipped 2.0 (ETH).
I have moved on to 3.0, i.e. Iota, RaiBlocks and (soon to come) Radix.

You are welcome.

I actually prefer this fad of bcash trolls over the doge trolls of yesteryear. Seriously, the doge phase of crypto was so annoying.

[jbreher]

Some time ago, I  invested in dogecoin. Since then, my DOGE was up 20x when i sold. Can you please do the maths on how doge is superior to your bcash 

Tell me your purchase date and we can perhaps compare apples to apples.

Or the Feathercoin nut jobs. And the Nxt shills.

Man, those were the days.

What's the most annoying about the BCash shills, is they weren't behind it in the beginning. They were all preaching first XT, then BU, then SegWit2X. When SegWit2X failed to even launch, suddenly BCash became "The one true coin" literally overnight. And then they touted that lack of SegWit was a feature that they supported all along!

This is how I know their supporters are full of shit. They're not behind anything at all. They are just "anti-Bitcoin" trolls that want to see Bitcoin centralized and controlled. BCash was literally propped up so that Bitcoin could have a fake enemy. Otherwise it would have none.

I am missing the Pearcoin fruitcakes.

Most were likely Ethereum folks just hoping to divide and conquer.

Until Rootstock and Tezos push them out of the picture.

Incidentally, tying into my exchange with Bob, being "against" is usually an r trait, while being "for" is a K trait. As in, marxists are against the rich because they are evil thieving exploiters, while capitalists are for personal property rights. K's build themselves up, r's tear others down. A side effect of this is that there is no limit to personal growth for a K, while r's are limited by the relative status of everyone else.

[podyx]

Are we seeing a triple bottom gentlemen?

[jbreher]

Yeah. everyone thought coinbase was releasing the BCH in Janaury, as they announced before.

Not everybody. I'm pretty sure their announcement was 'by January'.

[Syke]

Personally, I really miss the SolidCoin lunacy... Good times right there.

Technically it's still going on. https://microcash.org/forums/
