I think you have made my day and I could have not started using my BitMerits better than this!

Want to really see that DAG under stress.

Want to really see that DAG under stress.

Actually, I would like to see:
* basic wallet functionality like generating a random wallet address
* transactions always confirming
* fool proof solution to avoid address reuse (=vulnerable under IOTA system)

Before that happens, I do not consider it a buy until below $0.50.

The real question is why would you consider it a "buy" at all? Does it feel good to have a slick hypothetically functioning payment system that mimics Bitcoin, but no one ever uses to buy things with because there is zero merchant adoption?

Serious question. I'm trying to understand the delusions and fallacies associated with the altcoin market. So far I'm still not getting it.

Or if you just consider it a "buy" because you think it's going to get pumped one day, then just say so. Penny stocks see their day in the sun sometimes too.

So my banks just complained. Apparently churning too much money in and out of exchanges has them worried shitless that the taxman will complain. Might have to register as a business to keep trading at the current levels of volume. Not sure I wanna deal with that shit. Especially the part where I have to give up half the profit. Blah.

Same kind of reasoning could have been applied to bitcoin at the start.  Not that I have an opinion about this or that altcoin, just pointing out the hole in your rationale.

Is this something like that "Pantsconnect" the Mayor ran a couple months back?  If so it's not going to end well.

Two of em. One is closing the account (started it specifically to trade bitcoin, which they knew and agreed to - fuckers). The other just told us to knock it off with the big transfers.

To me, this is worrying more than annoying. Any hint of coordination among banks? How long between the two complaints?

[bitebits]

Since this place is so quiet (except for the obvious JJG spam attack).

In my mind Bitcoin has passed the point of no return. Bitcoin is here to stay. It does not matter much anymore for what dollar amount per bitcoin you are currently buying: you should just hoard as many as you can. Don't be cheap and try saving a few bucks, you might end up holding just dollars.

A year from now a single bitcoin <1000$ will be considered a bargain.

One of my few price predictions aged well, unless someone disagrees a <$1000 bitcoin is a bargain.

Let’s see if my Q3 2019 prediction holds as well as this one did (>$500 billion marketcap).

Wow, that REALLY sucks. What country are you in? Any ideas on how you are going to work around this shit?

There's a thread with a list of bitcoin hostile (and friendly) banks worldwide.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264679.0

The OP's list has recently been updated, and the last few pages give some useful up to date information. Ibian might find a friendly bank from that thread.

Bitcoin, with almost a decade track record, proven security model and a 180B market cap gets a C+

Doge, which is, was and always will be a JOKE, abandoned by its creator who just rolls his eyes gets a C

Cardano gets a B AND ALL IT IS IS A WHITE PAPER


that's all I need to know about this farce

What are you talking about? Cardano has the most active cryptocurrency repo on Github. More than Monero, more than Bitcoin, more than ETH. They also constantly submit research papers to actual proper scientific conferences. They do deserve to have a good rating irregardless of what other cryptos got.

RUN don't walk far far awayyyyy from here if you think cardano is better that bitcorn :-D lmfao

[Lopumbo]

Here is bittrex

You don't seem to understand what i was posting - kraken.com is the only exchange where you can convert USDT into USD - Bittrex only allows USDT

I have no way of proving it but I guarantee Cardano paid for that rating. It sticks out like dog balls.

Edit - from the SEC ruling against Weiss:

Weiss Research maintained internal performance records which noted every trade Weiss Research recommended and the hypothetical profit or loss an investor would have experienced if he or she had followed Weiss Research’s recommendations. Weiss Research did not make these performance records available to subscribers or potential subscribers. These performance records demonstrate that, during the relevant time period, subscribers to most of Weiss Research’s premium services, who followed Weiss Research’s recommendations without deviation, would have lost money. Subscribers to the few profitable services would have realized overall gains that were well below the profits from individual trades represented in Weiss Research’s advertisements.
