Yes, exactly. The tribe has spoken. You captured it perfectly. The sentiment...it's too much...

Who could have predicted the Crypto Sniper is a total retard.

I am sorry but I cannot take you seriously until you put on your hat.

The last time someone here started on about over-clothing we went moon. I'm not saying there's a connection. Because it's too soon to tell and because doom in any case. At any rate, 'over-clothing' is interesting, semantically speaking. Quantifying over collective non-count nouns is complicated by peculiarities. I'm not saying there's a connection. As it stands, I'm probably on the marijuana now with the mayor and Jimbo and that frosty lot. Don't mind me. In fact, if you haven't ignored me by now, then I don't know what. I can't even. The salience indicators are off the charts here.

Hurry, wait, stop.

I, personally, have never been that high before. Although that being said, your post reminded me that I need drugs.

Of course. Well, xhomerx10, anyhoo. Was signing off for the day, thread seemed cluttered with hat requests and fulfillments, we used the PM sideband.

See? Sidechains are a good thing.

I guess. Sideband, sidechain ... not exactly equivalent.

Know what else isn't exactly equivalent? Liquid and a sidechain implementation.

I’m the top sniper

Indeed, I would have expected a knife fighter to be much more modest.

Liquid is a private sidechain for extra-sophisticates. You wouldn't be interested.

I don't conclude that he is retarded, but he does have a few kooky ideas.

A couple of kooky points that he made. 

First, he largely argued in a conclusory manner that it is likely that the government created bitcoin (or coopted it) in order to be able to trace every single aspect of our financial lives.  Regarding the creation, I don't think the evidence adds up because bitcoin remains way too disruptive to government and traditional financial systems to have been created by them.  Perhaps a central error in his thinking in this regard does relate to his possible inability to distinguish between bitcoin and the other cryptos, and therefore he does not really understand bitcoin.

Second, which builds on the first point is that he concludes that financial institutions are going to be able to rehypothicate (treat as fractional reserves) bitcoin in the same way that they have been able to do with many other assets, including gold and silver - and this point is still yet to be seen whether they can be successful in that direction... and if bitcoin is going to cause an accountability that has not been possible with any other asset class to date.  Of course, time will tell on this, and it could take 50 to 100 years to evolve these kinds of manipulation systems.  I do not put it past that manipulation is an ongoing occurrence, but I do believe that the dynamics of bitcoin are much different than any other money (and even the hardest form of money that has ben witnessed to date), so we will see if financial institutions and governments are going to be able to sufficiently infiltrate bitcoin in order to achieve some of their manipulation objectives.

Can't really tell about Liquid. Not that I care either. That's the good thing about sidechains or whatnot: They are all optional.

I see some interesting potential in LN though. Optional too, which is always plus.

And yes, joke aside, sideband is not quite exactly the same as sidechain.... but we could say a sidechain is somewhat sideband?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Sounds like someone is insecure and overcompensating.

O.k.  I will bite.

Do we really care about some of these details about liquid and even lightning network?  They are still being built, tested and for the foreseeable future, they remain optional.  no?  Maybe some day down the road, they will become mandatory?   Currently, they seem to serve as side projects (even if they are not official "sidechains", whatever that means?

[JayJuanGee]

This hat thing got you all so busy that this may be the first time that the poll is not up-to date yet?

Btw, cheated and voted now, so this is also the first time i'm 100% proudly accurate

I've been slacking a lot the last several months. The price action is so boring that I forget about the poll.

Regarding the new poll, it seems that November 5 would have been a more interesting date... perhaps... because it is the date of the BAKKT launch.

Dude are you suffering from acute hat-madness maybe?? Don't you see you are giving jbreher too much ammo with that "Maybe some day down the road, they will become mandatory?"

I see it coming............

A special poll for that event may be in order after this one.
