Was nice to see while it lasted.... now lets hopefully find a new floor 350.00 would be nice  

Are there no old-guard left who remember flash-crashes?

We're here, it's just impossible to converse much with all these newer guys.

Wow. Just got back from some tests at the hospital and I see I missed megadump.

30KBTC in an hour at Finex alone and we're back to where we were 5 hours ago.

Gotta love how the wishful-thinking deluded bears were ready to declare the uptrend done. Can't see a minor correction when it's staring them in the face.

Still up over $40 on the day.  China should be waking soon. Rock on.

Smallblockers happened to me. Scale or die.

Terabytes of blockchain that are to be filled with junk, with near zero cost, does not equal scaling but an open-wide attack vector to destroy BTC.

We should put you in charge. you seem to know how people should spend there money!  remind me again who in bitcoin land has the power to decide which bitcoin transactions are junk?

money velocity is not junk, its a fundamental measure of an economy, we have a limited supply so the only place to grow is increased velocity.  

and "at near zero cost"? what planet are you on!

we are paying miners with Bitcoin inflation 25BTC every 10 min. it's still early days and needed for security while we grow economies of scale.

you choose:

Limit Block Size we'll see 1MB blocks push tx fees above $10. per transaction. (if the new users think its a good idea and pay to use bitcoin it may gorow - demand in bitcoin is not a given dispirit what come Core Developer - Experts think)

or

lets the free market decide and let in an extra 1000 transactions generate the $10 fee along with added security in diversity.  

give it up, you and your buddy doc's gang lost. This is not the time or the place. Find another venue, we're here to have fun and talk about markets not display butthurt on behalf of the failed vendetta of a shill.

Bitcoin don't die like that, I have nothing to give up. I'm here a I just want to pump the price and look at trains.

The fact we are headed into a brick wall with limited transaction volume is a concern. We can take the brakes off, hobble bitcoin or we can open it up and let new users in.

I'm here to help everyone secure there bitcoin on the Bitcoin Blockchain and encourage it to grows in value for all.

Never short a rally retards.

The miners.

money velocity is not junk, its a fundamental measure of an economy, we have a limited supply so the only place to grow is increased velocity.  

Money velocity of multiple dust transactions = spamming the blockchain and bloating BTC.

and "at near zero cost"? what planet are you on!

Can I make a script right now and start spamming the blockchain when it is in low-utilization days, with almost zero fee tx's? The answer is yes. Even with 1mb limit. And it will be far easier to do that with 10mb limit. And that's irregardless of the mining fee. You cannot simply implement a higher blocksize without enforcing a system that prevents cheap malicious use of that capacity to self-destruct BTC. It would be an idiotic move of epic proportions and people would then say "so, we are at the mercy of script kids right now?" and then claim BTC devs are incompetent for not having foreseen how their actions are enlarging the blockchain by the tens of gigabytes, and how they (or the miners) must take action to prevent this kind of spamming, and how useless these devs are for not preventing it in the first place through fee competition in a much more limited block size, etc etc.

LOL, the steam engage is stoked the boilers is full and some coal is on its way.

Not really I sold 50% of my stash at lowest point because I needed the money for something.
I failed at life.

Do whatever you what with your money, I'm sure the miners will love your fees.

I like how you focus on the emotional appeal to a centralized authority to save us and ignore the obvious economic consequences. Bitcoin is not going to scale if you dont let go and let new users buy in.

I heard there was going to be a 2015 bubble. Maybe you didn't get the memo?

Blocks are maxxed out ATM, so you have to queue. Where's Lightning?

I haven't felt like this since I saw bitcoin go up $5 during the second great growth spurt and my 5 year old tells me "bulls are very happy today Dady"

I see a rush on Block size - or are Blockstream hoping to have an off-chain solution so you can keep your Bitcoin off the Blockchain? - the the race is on,  get you BTC out of the exchange - treat an exchange like a cold shower a quick in and out.

this is what AlexGR calls spam.
