Asking "who controls Bitcoin?" is like asking "who controls English?"  Didn't we have a guy somewhere around here who would blame it on the jews? What happened to that guy? I bet he sells some decent acid.

Asking "who controls Bitcoin?" is like asking "who controls English?"  This should be: "who doth control English?" Please stop messing up my language, of which I control. I have a team of grammar nazis that enforce my rule.

wasnt it a 6510 in the VIC20. it had added some dedicated i/o pins vs the 6502 or something IIRC.
or maybe that was just the C64.. i had both.
fun times but i got more into the TRS-80 line with CP/M and such after.
The 6510 was in the C64. I remember doing a fair bit of assembly and FORTH on the Vic-20, it could do a good bit with what you had. First computer was a TRS80 Model 1 Level 1. I still remember the game "Termites" followed by the game "Introduction to programming". Wonder about first computers for people here.

You do know that those pieces of sh!t old computers actually have coded into the hardware... or how do you call it... "hardcoded" software of translating computing languages from one to another by us not even realizing the actual technology on those sh!ty pieces of crap that may behold so much value and wisdom of how to just facetroll your keyboard words and just write epic code??  Anyway... not all of them have that. But some and most of them have and you can dig for gold into those old pieces of sh!t and just do basically instant free code translation between programming languages. *edit(0): but that one you show in the pictures is not an old enough version for what I'm talking about... I think its actually "new".

Those last two are not going to work too well if you need to pick up some groceries or if you are going on a picnic with the little doggie (approximately micpeep size), gf and a few items of food and drinks.

Wonder about first computers for people here.
IBM 650. "The IBM 650 is a decimal computer made from vacuum tubes in pluggable units with magnetic drum main memory. The basic system consists of the computer itself with a front operator panel, the power supply which is the same size but featureless and the IBM 533 card reader/punch that was the input/output device."  Of course it wasn't actually mine. It was owned by the University of Western Ontario where my brother was doing his undergraduate studies before he was scooped off to do his post-grad at Stanford in what was then called the "brain drain". We did have it all to ourselves at night though. He was still a teenager and I was still in grade school. Kids today don't get that kind of opportunity any more. They can't get away with shit. As for my first computer that I actually owned, it was a TRS80 Micro Color Computer MC-10 with a Motorola 6803 CPU, 4KB RAM (upgraded to 20KB) and cassette I/O. Needless to say, it blew the old IBM 650 away. How times change.

99% that almost anything under this line is a scam that will ending @ zero in the next 5 years ?? ??   I would take that bet. I agree that 99% are scams, but they are not too likely to go to zero in the coming 20 to 50 years because there are a lot of suckers out there.. and currently, there does not seem to be any kind of force to really take down the scams - neither governmental nor private words of wisdom. In other words, various shit coins and snake oils are likely to be pumped and dumped for a long time before the gravitation of value into bitcoin becomes obvious, perhaps when bitcoin is in the $10million per coin price arena? or higher? hahahaha 5 years is too fast, NEW coins-scams keep on coming still as well , but its just Nice too say , making a small point of just saying 99% garbage .....

I'd have a cheap Fiat (or a nice Mercedes) around, which I'd use to get the milk and bread from the store with my girlfriend. Fiat is basically Ferrari anyways and would fit together with the McLaren

Why do we, WO thread readers, give a ratt's ass about that ethereum article? How does it relate to bitcoin walls? Can you at least attempt to make some kind of connection to bitcoin walls in order to NOT be so irritating?

I learned machine language 6502 on the Vic20 and later got the commodore64 which was 6510... I started on a Timex/ Sinclair ZX81. Used to stay up all night programming. Ah the good old days.
Your old, Ti-994a here. Spent months to make a sprite that walked across the screen.  I pioneered the JNR - jump never return whilst at university working with machine code

hopefully i have a good session today .... gonna play to increase BTC-stashes fingers crossed for NO horror outcomes..... losing BTC is way more stressfull/awful, than seeing the price go down, with other words when we DIP i still feel OK cause of longterm perspective, but when losing then they are really GONE ........ so fingers crossing and hoping to increase...  IT WOULD BE NICE
