I like this new merit system.

It seems to raise the standard of the discussion appreciably. I see a rise in newbie accounts posting well thought-out posts and old accounts thinking a bit harder before they post the first random crap which comes to their minds.
agree.
all these deserve it imnvho
(ofc Biodom was always a good poster)
now for some random crap:

Recently stock market took a couple hits too. Who knows if this is relevant for the immediate future.

So the bond market sold off today, the U.S. stock market sold off 1%, AND Gold and Silver got hammered, AND crypto got FUD'ed.  

All on the same day, at the end of Jan? When some of those things should be inversely correlated?? Yeah, makes perfect sense.  Roll Eyes

Expect all markets to continue bull run.

A question is how the USD going down the drain plays out in all this.

Don't really know what point you're trying to make Globb0.

The point I was making was that when an entire asset sector has a single entity like Tether in its midst that's capable of bidding up the market at will with limitless supply, that is a toxic situation. That isn't the case with "pure crypto" assets like BitUSD. Their supply is not created arbitrarily out of thin air and is always market backed which is why you occasionally get those spikes you're pointing out.

The reason is stays on its peg is that when it spiked down like that there is a huge market gain to be made for traders taking the long side in order to restore the peg (which is exactly what has happened since that dump occurred. See current price):

Watching metals and oil take a hit (USD) while CAD stays up against USD is a clear indication of falling USD, but I wouldn't get too excited - it won't last.


Torque - Agreed.

going below 10K in a few minutes.

The FUDsters want it so bad, don't they? Sub 10k. I can almost smell the fear...

EDIT: And will ya look at that, some FUD news timed perfectly.  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes


Torque.   I gotta attempt to find some hilarity with your theme repetition.  And, surely I have some respect that you don't give up...

Nonetheless, let me make another point.  Do you know that many large news organizations already have 90% of the content of obituaries pre-written for notorious people, but merely because they engage in this practice does not mean that they have any fucking clue regarding the timing of the death of the notorious person, even though when such notorious person dies, they are able to publish their well thought out story within an hour or so of notorious person's death.   Go figure.   Tongue

Are you even paying attention?

Have you heard of lightning network?  Of course, some of it is already being experimented upon... it could take many years before it is microtransacting on the level of visa... but it is in the works.

Also, you mention that you want to send big amounts of bitcoin around, and you know that the problem is not with big amounts, because in terms of percentage it is not bad, especially if you are getting into the several thousand dollars arena.

Finally, fees are low currently and transaction times are fast currently.

I just looked in my blockchain.info wallet, and it is showing $.12 for regular fees and $2.02 for priority.  Seems fairly reasonable to me, and you could take advantage of these low fees if you want to move money around, at this time.

I have heard of lightning network but its only segwit adresses I'm able to use currently to alleviate fees, I'm just talking about the reality of the situation and how that feeds back into market demand.   Of course I want them to advance the capability of crypto far more then it is now especially for micro transactions, until its usable we are all speculating perhaps a little too much and hence the price pulls back to a more steady area.

I'm pretty sure all my transactions are micro!   I'm not a whale sadly, if fees have fallen to $2 then thats way more realistic for most people to use BTC.    I swear they recently halved, I'll check the graph site I have bookmarked and post the fee structure/backlog as I think its relevant

[https://i.imgur.com/YJAITP6.png[/img]

I dont want to spike the guys site with traffic, pm if you want a link as he gives a few dynamics

You are just coming off as employing BIGBLOCKER and alt coin pumper talking points, no?

BTC does not have to be the be all and end all crypto currency at this exact time and to be able to satisfy all your micro-transaction needs in order to have a large number of other values, including the first time in history there has been the creation of a decentralized secure method to secure, store and transmit value (which is considerably valuable and transformative in and of itself).

Can you see the value of the various current and future use cases of bitcoin without getting caught up on some narrow use case that you personally want or that you personally wished bitcoin would have.  Who fucking cares what you personally want?  You can determine that yourself by buying and using a variety of payment methods and value storage methods and it does not need to be bitcoin to help you to accomplish your personal goals (if you cannot see a fit for bitcoin within your current situation or future projected situation).

I am not trying to denigrate you personally, because bitcoin has a lot of value beyond your projection of transaction fee or transaction time issues, no?

Now, your seemingly implied assertion that Bitcoin's seemingly currently downward price pressures and price movements are attributable to some kinds of deficiencies in bitcoin or that public opinion of bitcoin is becoming too negative, is likely overrated.  Sure, you can sell if you want or you can HODL.. or spread fear that BTC prices are likely to go down, but in the end, this seems like a buying opportunity to me, rather than a time to sell.  But do what you like, and conceptualize the situation however you like because I don't claim to have any crystal ball regarding how all of this is going to play out, even though I am continue to employ my same practice of buying as the price goes down (if it does) and selling on the way up (if it goes up).   I don't see any reason to make any significant changes based on our current situation and the current level of correction and the current level that seems to be attempting to break through buying support in the sub $10k price arena.
