Someone has huge ask-wall (stairs) @ Finex 

...and they have huge balls of steel to send that much money to Finex.

Craig is angry, he cashing out on Bfx.

Winning!

Impressive ability to write backwards.

But no shit-eating grin like his buddy Gavin!

how's this?

Actually not a bad shit-eating grin on him. Would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of these 2 stooges.

Doesn't seem to disturb the price to rise.
Finex around 452.

hashrate has increased significantly in the last few days, can we assume this the sound of  the incoming pump ?

My eyes feel violated seeing pics of those two assholes.

Nice little price rise though so there is that to help me get over it, wonder if we can touch 460 over the weekend?

[DeathAngel]

$450 today then, no upward movement as a reaction to the imminent halving just yet. Is it one of those who moves 1st moments?

It's one of those "everyone got bored and went home" moments.

Yeah the grin of both of them is terrifying.
Pricewise it's looking really better compared to the last few days.
However 460I don't expect to happen that soon.Give it a few more weeks for another real breakout.

I been gone for months since it is stuck. Price is so boring that it gave me butthurt syndrome.

German weekly 'Die Zeit'. "Bitcoin instead of Euro?" Politically located ~top+middle on the Nolan chart, think (roughly): German New Yorker. Not a bad paper, actually.


It didn't register as big news anymore for me that Bitcoin is featured in a prominent way in a large paper, but what I thought is interesting is

a)  the article's comparably knowledgeable on crypto. Not extremely deep analysis, but no completely obvious misconceptions (except maybe for a bit of a flippant remark on confirmation times), and

b) while it's critical of the proposition in the title ("replace cash by Bitcoin?"), it considers it a serious enough proposal to discuss it in some detail -- both in terms of cash as some new blockchain based but government issued money, as well as in the form of the Bitcoin blockchain itself.

Interesting how a (rather drastic) change in perception can sometimes sneak up on you without you noticing it at first, I thought.

Explanation for Gavin's Commit status being revoked.

Probably that explanation is sufficient and was probably necessary.  Additionally, the explanation likely demonstrates that Gavin is not getting back his commit privileges unless he begins to contribute.

The explanation could have also discussed Gavin's recent hostility to core development by proposing the hostile hardforks of XT and Classic and the disruptive change in governance proposals contained therein - yet for some unclear reason, the article chose not to include references to Gavin's involvement in XT and Classic as additional rationales for continuing to disallow Gavin's commit access.  I'm thinking that possibly Wladimir was attempting to avoid commentary or rationale that could be interpreted as too unnecessarily political because core should also not be viewed as an entity that is not open to controversial Bitcoin Improvement Proposals.  On the other hand, I personally believe that Bitcoin improvement proposals that posture hostility to the core essence of the project and/or decentralization by making changes to governance easier to go from consensus of 95%-ish to 75%-ish - are probably of another category because of their destructive nature towards the survival of bitcoin itself as a permissionless and censorship resistant platform.

Sure, they thought his account was compromised. It wasn't, but now they won't give it back.

I'm happy for you. You got your purge. It's important to wash out impurities. How else can you create the perfect society.
