Could we encrypt Craig Wright and lose the keys?

No, but we can expose his fraudulence every day of the week.

Or we could just ignore him as irrelevant

Probably because ETH is moving from a POW (proof of work) to a PoS (proof of stake) consensus algorithm with a minimum of 32 ETH required to stake, and a lot of people are buying it at these low prices so that they can start staking soon

This has been said for forever, still nothing. I doubt anything will change.

LOL.
POW is where workers rule.
POS is where rent seekers rule.
You can never create sustainable economy where rent seekers rule!
Ethereum was created as a coin of the people that don't understand monetary theory by the people that don't understand monetary theory for the people that don't understand monetary theory!

I agree, however, I worry that current rent seekers (which are dominant in the current economy) will simply transplant themselves onto POS, thereby strengthening it.

Good luck on your bet gentleman. May the best bottom win.

Or we could just ignore him as irrelevant

The problem with that is the new born fish. They'll most likely fall for it and bite.
Gives BTC a bad reputation.
Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.

Going to break 4k, are we?

Didn't we already do that a month or so ago?
I fail to see the wow factor in that, just normal volatility.

It's because we're showing more evidence of it reversing.

Nah, it's too early for that, we have several more months sideways to look forward to.
I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but I'm probably not.

I would say you are both right and wrong

We have bottomed and yes we have several more months of sideways.

pish tosh

I would say you are both right and wrong.

You are right about the sideways.

But there's plenty of room yet for a stab down to the dark side.

I'd even prefer it that way.

I'll bet you a litecoin?

I will take it if Hairy won't.

I will wager 1 LTC we have already seen the bottom of this bear market.  That is, it will not go lower than 3122.

Suggest period of wager is until Dec 31 2019, or we go over 7500 on Stamp in USD (or under 3122) - whichever is sooner?

Edited for clarity.

I will also take that bet, if those terms are accepted by Mr V8.

By the way, Isn't the phrase in the movie "the last of the interceptors" or something like that?
Haven't seen it since the 80s but that's my memory of it. Gonna check the internet for that now.

@Arriemoller  Are you taking the bet with Hairy? or with kurious or both?

With none, Mr V8 is taking it with Mr Hairy if I remember correctly.

CL: two stadiums full of people who paid good money plus hundreds of million people watching this on TV and all they got was 0:0.
Happy that I did not watch it (this time).

[Cryptotourist]

Colosseum syndrome?

[cgt99]

Also many people think Satoshi is dead but you can't rule out a day when he decides to dump one million bitcoins on the market, just sayin......

Naahh, not to worry... most will go for a good cause

Now you know.

Elon Musk thinks paper money is going away and crypto will take its place.

Everyone has hoped for financial reform.

What we got was even better.

Money outside the system.

In digital form.

Bitcoin.

LOL notice the news anchor.

She is relating bitcoin price up with JP Morgan recent shitcoin launching. LOL

https://twitter.com/CNBCFuturesNow/status/1097937905228615681/video/1

Who the fuck gave her the JOB? And who are these fat pigs?

Settle down Pamoldar.

Clips like these are just within the normal mainstream types of ambiguous bitcoin commentary, including sometimes questionable attempts at causal connections (if we are considering the mention of the JPMorgan coin).

Elon Musk thinks paper money is going away and crypto will take its place.

Yeah, that's a given.

Even if you don't like the guy, you might not want to get that intimate with his smirking image.   

[jojo69]

Someone just paid 2100 ETH for transaction fees.

That is over $300,000 spent to transfer $15.

Did they mistaken the fee with sending value?

This is called screwing up big time. Here is the tx: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x1f73b43dc9c48cc131a931fac7095de9e5eba0c5184ec0c5c5f1f32efa2a6bab

DAMN!

Edit: The wallet is still very rich: https://etherscan.io/address/0x587ecf600d304f831201c30ea0845118dd57516e

Is there a dominant ETH miner?  could be money laundering

like paying retarded money for a crypto kitty, that was the sweetest launder I have seen in a while

/edit  I see I was not the first with this suspicion

[JayJuanGee]

can anyone dig out a prediction that beats this one in accuracy and efficiency? found this gem in a 2013 price poll.

17.7.2017, 17:17:17 Uhr: 17.423,13 € bzw 26.861,24 USD (1 Euro = 1,5417 USD)

the guy made only one post ever, predicted a 2017 price of €17.423 while in reality price went to €16.457 in 2017.

missed it by 5%  

Isn't it the stop clock is correct twice a day phenomenon?  If you look at any BTC price prediction thread, you are going to find price predictions all over the map, and of course, there are going to be a few that are really close to what actually ends up happening.. but I doubt the fact that the close to correct predictions getting their predictions correct reasonably infers that the person(s) predicting knew anything concrete about the BTC price future at that particular time.

if those correct predictions are so abundant please quote them in case you come across some. and yes, it is more luck than anything. but still....

Hahahahahaha

It appears that we agree regarding the luckiness aspect, 600watt (aka .6kw as attributable to d_eddie), good ole buddy.

Therefore, I am not going to look research further into the "abundance" (or non-abundance) of correct predictions matter.        

[jojo69]

Agreed. It's a bet. Good luck Mr. Maclairy.

Noobs take note, this is how WO OGs do business.

V8 and HM represent political polar opposites and frequently engage in spirited, nay heated, debate, yet both comport themselves as gentlemen.

It is an honor to serve on this thread with such esteemed colleagues.

[JayJuanGee]

As much as I agree BCH is still a top 10 coin with over $500m in daily trading volume, don't act like it is completely worthless.

Oh my!!!!!!!

You trying to NOT win WO thread friends, angel55?  Except maybe jbreher, and some shill/trolls.

Take that Vitalik!



Google knows that there's only one coin that's here to rule - "BTCitcoin"!

Does anyone have a link to the actual tweet?  I could not find it on Vitalik's stream of tweets.   I saw it in other locations as a picture, so it could b a fake, right?  or Deleted? Or just me?
