Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[nikauforest]

I paid 10 satoshis/byte ( .13cents)  for a largish transaction on the competing chain which shall remain nameless. (It was in the next block)

Good for you. Now get back under the bridge where you belong.

Hubris knows no bounds for you.

I BTFD. Who else did?

Edit: are Dash and Monero down because the ppl who want to scam off of BTC by forking off need more BTC to dump?

[Torque]

My advice as a veteran since $49 is to take some profit if you're well into the green to soothe your nerves, and to make sure you hold at least 1 BCH for every 1 BTC you hold.

My advice as a veteran since 2013 is to dump all your BCH for BTC and tell Peter R. and jbreher to fuck off.

Notice how those two shills show up on the forum as a tag team. Probably two accounts held by the same person.

So where's realr0ach?

[HairyMaclairy]

Hey seeing as all the Bcash experts are here, I have a question for you.

What is the name of Jihan’s boss ? 

[Peter R]

Any vets out there caring to calm my nerves with some words of wisdom?

The market is waking up the fact that BTC is digital gold designed to be held and not spent -- that high fees and transaction friction are a feature and not a bug.  The market may reprice BTC as a result.  

My advice as a veteran since $49 is to take some profit if you're well into the green to soothe your nerves, and to make sure you hold at least 1 BCH for every 1 BTC you hold.

Don't hold BCH. Peter is a shill.

If by "shill" you mean someone who has volunteered thousands of hours and years of my life to help grow Bitcoin into a global peer-to-peer electronic cash system, then here are some of the ways I've "shilled":

1. In 2014, I developed the first ECDSA signing tool capable of signing Bitcoin transactions offline over an air-gap by drawing power from the NFC field [video].

2. In 2015, I co-founded (and still co-manage) the first peer-reviewed scholarly journal for Bitcoin and blockchain research, Ledger.  

3. Also in 2015, I did research to demonstrate that a transaction fee market would exist without a block size limit [paper] [video]

4. In 2016, I co-founded Bitcoin Unlimited, which is now a $10 million+ organization that supports Bitcoin research and outreach across the world.

5. Also in 2016, I did research to show that with subchains, bitcoin's transaction capacity could be increased while also providing faster TX verification by miners to users [paper] [video]

6. In 2017, I demonstrated a security weakness in segregated witness [video]

7. Also in 2017, I spearheaded the launch of the $3 million "Gigablock Testnet Initiative" and presented our initial result in Stanford [video]

I have done all this to date as a volunteer because I love bitcoin and hope to see it change the world for the better.

They pretty much only show up during the BTrash attacks as well, along with the low activity sock puppets.

Clinical narcissists tend to overuse the words "I" and "my" in their ramblings because they tend to self-reference alot. You managed to cram it in no less than 10 times.

Please go seek some help.

I actually noticed back in my days at university that the academics who used "I" in their talks instead of "we" or "one" tended to be a complete waste of attention (with very few exceptions). May or may not be related.

Hubris ? How do you figure ? You poke your snotty little nose into a Bitcoin speculation thread with some snarky comment that's been discussed, ad-nauseum, and expect people to listen to what you have to say ?

Fuck right off. Do not pass Go. Do not collection $200. Just fuck off, all proper like, and wrap those lips around Roger's cock.

K ?

Sure, I'm proud of what I've accomplished; I'll admit to that.  

But the point I was trying to get across is that calling me a "shill" is pretty silly when I've clearly worked very hard to help grow Bitcoin for the last several years, as I just demonstrated.  

From my perspective today, we have two visions of "Bitcoin" competing with each other:

1. BTC is digital gold to be held and not spent; friction is a feature.

2. BCH is peer-to-peer electronic cash with low fees and reliable confirmations.

Both are achieving their "visions" right now. Let's continue to watch the experiment unfold and see which the market comes to prefer.

Completely related.

Blowhards that are haughty and full of themselves. They overestimate their own intellect, skills, and importance in the world.

Deep down inside they are completely insecure and miserable.

Only one of these is achieving their "vision" through ASIC exploits, mining cartels, spamalot, insider trading, and downright petty tyranny.

This was my experience as well. As a student it wasn't even possible to ask questions in a friendly discourse without seeing those people heavily offended due to their lack of an answer. Meanwhile the "we/one" camp just either outright said they had no obvious answer or at least tried to provide some possible angles to tackle the questions from, while clearly indicating that they aren't sure. And here I used to believe that university was about honest intellectual discourse before I got there, but oh well.
