If bitcoin gets backed by the NSA is this bullish?
it looks like BS nothing to substantiate it. I think the dump has to do with theymos locking threads that talk about why we need bigger blocks defining talk about bitcoin with bigger blocks off topic, here, on bitcoin.org and on r/bitcoin. Polls like these tend to be bogus, because people will just troll without expressing their real feeling. I'm long convinced that BTC turns out to be the US Gov weapon of choice regarding the upcoming catastrophe. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If the bubble bursts there will be no person living on this planet who will remain intact. In a way, I WISH NSA (or some other governmental scheme) is on the train. That means "they get" it.

Those are relay nodes, not miners. They have no direct say on the bock size increase; but by showing support they may convince miners to switch. Chinese didn't want the fork.
They were OK with 8 MB but did not want to switch to XT; they wanted all the devs to get together. But that was weeks ago, and it is clear that Core will never agree to any increase. Who knows what they are thinking now.

Why the topic is self-moderated ? Those are relay nodes, not miners. They have no direct say on the bock size increase; but by showing support they may convince miners to switch. Chinese didn't want the fork.

Who knows what they are thinking now. I'm saving all the code here just in case they decide to hide it. We need a skilled programmer to go through this and see just how bad it is, there's so much code itd be easy to hide some malicious stuff in here. Keep in mind this code is all for the IP logger and blacklist, they worked hard on this! I would just post it here but it is an absolutely immense amount of code. There's both a whitelist and a blacklist, like Coinbase. From what I can tell it is NOT all objective, they can subjectively put people on the lists. This would give them complete control of anyone who uses Bitcoin. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByLnBVYGlyDsT25MNExSUDB2NTA/view?usp=sharingI think they're thinking the same as everyone : burn that shit with fire

Holy fuck, what a way to wake up! Grumbles Grumbles stupid need for sleep !!
I've just thought exactly the same. I went to sleep with the price at 251. I've woken up to the price at 232. Fuck this, I'm going back to sleep. I can't believe this, I was so confident we'd never see sub 200 again. I absolutely retract that statement now.

HODLING as usual, feeling a little disheartened though buddy. We need some kind of positive news, something to take us to some kind of respectable price range. I understand that we're in this for the long haul but some light at the end of the tunnel would be good.

now that the covert surveillance agenda of XT has been laid bare, heck shall we just go ahead and call it espionage in the probability that these guys actually work for lawful governments? Maybe LE enticing people to run spyware is entrapment even if it is open source?

they not scared of the fork just the misinformation from the Cripplecoiners, mainly the censoring and blocking of the views and discussion from those interested in increasing the block size from being discussed on Reddit and here on bitcointalk.org.
The biggest cripplecoiners, i.e. the core devs, have done more work then anybody on allowing bitcoin to scale.

I woke up like many mornings seeing a huge price drop only to realize I had it set to euros. I saw the price and was like...oops, must be euros again. Not so much.

Why do you believe it's clear that Core will never agree to any increase?
