Bitcoin Whales Have Been Acquiring Large Amounts of Cryptocurrency in Past Two Months

https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/02/bitcoin-whales-have-been-acquiring-large-amounts-of-cryptocurrency-in-past-2-months/

"According to the “top 100 rich list” for cryptocurrency, compiled by Bitcoin.com, there are certain “whale wallets” that have been steadily increasing their crypto holdings - with every drop the digital asset market has experienced since December 2017. When crypto prices plummeted on February 24th, a number of whales reportedly bought large amounts of bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH).
...
Between December 17th, 2018 and February 25th, 2019, the four largest wallets associated with the exchanges (mentioned above) had increased their holdings by 2,879 BTC, an amount valued at approximately $10.8 million. In comparison, the remaining top 100 largest crypto addresses accumulated 151,505 BTC, which is currently valued at over $577 million according to CryptoCompare data."

Surely that's not a good sign ? It is the opposite of wider distribution.

A distribution from larger wallets to smaller/new holders would be more bullish.

It means it's working.

"Stuff" concentrating around a few nodes is prevalent everywhere in nature. Bitcoin won't magically make wealth disparity disappear and that's probably for the better.

After all, a disproportionate amount of people are fine with just watching Netflix all day or living simple lives in general (which is fine, not trying to belittle anyone and I have phases of simple laziness myself and think they are very important).
As a result they don't produce much of value (science, medicine, tech) and humanity is better off if they don't have "too much" income to fuel their consumer lifestyle. Otherwise even more research money would flow into creating even more consumer products as opposed to figuring out how we can stop aging and go to another fucking galaxy.


Either way, the day Bitcoin starts equalizing wealth is the day Bitcoin has ceased remaining neutral.

Types of Blockchain attacks and their damage throughout 2018

Five years ago this month, an exchange hack shook the cryptocurrency world.

Today, we'd like to take a moment and remember the Mt.Gox hack. During it, a vast amount of 850,000 BTC was lost.

5 years ago: February 28 2014, the world's largest #bitcoin exchange, #MtGox declared bankruptcy after  claiming that 650,000 bitcoins nearly worth half a billion dollars had been hacked.
And now we know what really happened.

Love how Brian A. "pivoted" back to peddling hundreds of shitcoins, ironic that it happened when Bitcoin LN was announced and launched.  

[cAPSLOCK]

I'm so freaking bored.

So bored, in fact, I'm thinking of dumping 10 BTC of additional liquidity into my LND node, and start opening some max-value channels...

... and then I think about "How in tarnation am I going to find the time to balance all them there channels I'm fixin' to establish ?"

And then I cry inside, and die a little bit more, at how excruciating it is to presently manage that.

My kingdom for better channel balancing abilities.

Right now, I'm basically all "hurr durr imma gonna raise the rates for one week, then imma gonna lower them for another week" across all channels.

It's all very stupid right now.

Or maybe it's just me.

It's probably me.

I have no idea what I'm doing half the time, and just winging it through life.

Mostly.

I think atomic multi-paths are going to cure what ails you.  Once those are in you should be able to balance your channels at the click of a button.

I actually built up two pretty large nodes with probably more channels each than necessary...  then I started getting paranoid.  I had a lot of max limit channels open and (for me) was gambling with quite a bit of corn.  With what a corrupt channel.db can do now I just didn't want to take such a risk... so I ended up closing all the channels.  I wonder if one was to your node... lol. probably not.

I sure had lots of fun shuffling bitcoin around for basically nothing.  Then I got a lot of sats tied up in blue wallet (custodial).  I think that was what set off the paranoid cascade.
