I read just now, that the 'lightning network' for BTC is now LIVE... here is the link https://www.finder.com.au/bitcoin-price-weekly-analysis-2018-01-28seems sketchy as the only article I can find...do they mean just live on 'mainnet' to test or is it really ready for prime time? |

It's not ready for prime time. Use at own risk. |

Hehe how do you figure? Channels still limited to 0.042 btc. However, it's a happy coincidence with the low transaction fees on the main chain making new channel creation fairly cheap. Hm... one moment. Happy coincidence? There are no coincidences! (Looking warily over shoulder) ... and most aren't happy anyway. Wish a real conspiracy expert would chime in now. |

Yes it’s live in main net. No, it’s not really ready. Open source software is dangerous. There is no central authority to hold your hand. |

Slightly modified versions, of course, that allow for it to be on mainnet rather than testnet. |

Half the time I walk around smug like I really pulled something off...the other half I'm in panic mode and waving arms like a 12-year-old child, having a panic attack....crypto always drama, drama, drama ah, the joys of being in HODL mode |

Wonder if they are now going to try to squeeze the shorts again... Sunday surprise?  We will see. Still have quite a way to go to force liquidations. |

Torque, Bitcoin does not give a shit what is good or bad for him. In the past the price has reduced by 90% and look where we are now. The only thing we can do is pave their way for exponential growth and adoption. Artificially restricting its growth causes a direct benefit for the altcoins.
Oh sorry, didn't realize that I had my foot on the Bitcoin brake. I guess I'll take my foot off now...   Don't BCrash! |

Hmmm let’s watch the Kraken USD USDT pair closely. This may explain BFX rally.   Edit: Link to article here: https://www.coindesk.com/tether-confirms-relationship-auditor-dissolved/amp/?__twitter_impression=trueIt is fairly obvious that if Bitfinex fired the auditor, they would have said so. Accordingly we have to assume the auditor has quit. Which probably means Tether has gone bad. Hang onto your pants boys and girls - this could get a little volatile. |

so coinbase manipuating, bitfinex printing tethers... blah What happens with bitfinex when the tether thingie comes out --> ?? --> it's a major exchange ... Kraken is getting into USDT  why? |
