By the way, how can we know if he's telling the truth when he says that he has no Bitcoin?
We don't. He might might be holding a boatload of bitcoin, but wants to go broke by convincing people that it's worthless. Dialectic thinking. You mean Hegelian dialectic? How so? If he is wrong and BTC goes to the moon, he will be rich. If he is right and BTC fails, he will lose, but at least he can brag to others he was right all the time.
He will "win", one way or another
I see. Just one of the reasons we bitcoiners are renowned for our lucid, incisive reasoning. |

Edit: i forgot to add my explanation why he does this.. satoshi gave him alot of btc in 2009 for promotion reasons, he then sold them all when the price hit 10$ the first time. 10k bucks profit and he was glad that he got out before the 'bubble' burst. after seeing the price hit 250$ he thought "damn, maybe i was wrong after all. i will just buy back in with all my money". There was another dump to two digits and he sold at the bottom with a horrible loss of more than 50%. Ever since then he was butthurt and started trolling. His daughter seeing her inheritance had more than halfed also joined in the never ending trollvendetta... i am sorry for exposing the truth or maybe i am just kidding. who knows? |

[for the newbies]
Isabella Kaminska, our beloved, multifaceted, low activity troll
Isabella Kaminska may be a bit of a luddite missing some of the technical aspects of bitcoin that could revise her argument but she appears genuine and honest unlike jstolfi who intentionally or unintentionally will make dishonest and misleading statements to further his objective. If only more trolls/buttcoiners were like her we would be much better off. |

Have you listened to her interview on BTCuncensored? She's a seriously reasonable academic. Her basic premise is she considers Bitcoin a luxury good. I think she's right. Listen to it^ and tell me she's wrong. |

Listen to it^ and tell me she's wrong. There is a lot of things she gets right, but many things she misunderstands as well. Her suggestion that bearer instruments drain wealth from society partly due to the cost to secure them is incorrect. She also is confused politically about bitcoins role in regulatory arbitrage and she seems to be very misguided into believing Anarchists are opposed to rules/regulations. I suppose it depends upon how you define "luxury good". Some of those luxuries she speaks of are a matter of survival for people, so her characterization isn't accurate there either. I get a strong sense she is honestly attempting to seek truth and be genuine in her research though , so I would suggest she is in the group of one of the more respected critics. |

if i'd been them i wouldn't have even gotten started making an application without a proper exchange on the scene. sec guy would throw it in the bin without that. i guess that's one of the reasons they created gemini as itbit didn't exist then either. |

Military coup in turkey.
Bitcoin up?
Discuss....
*Edit21:- US Vice President John Kerry said: Recep Tayyip Erdogan is himself to blame for this situation that someone tried a coup on him. (LOL ... this sh!t ain't over yet!) *Edit22:- The death count from the attempted coup is nearing ~300 dead. ("Who cares..? They are just muslims!") *Edit23:- Somewhere around ~2900 judges have been arrested. - And ~2900 military soldiers and personnel have been also arrested. - Some of the military are still fighting, and hours after the president announced that the coup failed. An F-16 bombed a military facility and the home of the president. (he was not at home) Also footage of one of the bombings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueh8cY3i9U4 |

Lower, not low, for me I still think 51,025,700 is significant for a weekend, in my modest opinion |

Lower, not low, for me I still think 51,025,700 is significant for a weekend, in my modest opinion I remember hearing from a few years ago, that coinmarketcap had removed some of the chinese (CNY/BTC pairings) exchanges in terms of figuring out how to calculate volume, so recently I had not clicked on the volume link in which it provides more detail regarding how they arrived at volume... Wow? I had also not realized how high coinsbank was listed on there (which used to be bitx), and also surprising that localbitcoins is not even listed on there... I suppose no matter what they are attempting to create a somewhat accurate volume indicator, even if they remove some the apparent outliers that would have seemed to have been skewing the numbers. |

Unexpectedly quiet, when most bitcoiners were planning how to manage their new wealth after the highly expected halving. |

Unexpectedly quiet, when most bitcoiners were planning how to manage their new wealth after the highly expected halving. You can talk all you like about quietness in bitcoinlandia, but there is nothing unusual about spurts and slowdowns in volume, and we can especially experience slow downs in volume over the weekends and during price consolidation periods. Sometimes, the slow downs in volume are especially signs that both sides are waiting for the other side to act (talking about bears and bulls, here), and the low volume could continue for an additional extended period of time (another few weeks) or result in a sudden break out and an increase in volume that comes from one side attempting to make a move and to take advantage of the low volume in an attempt to push for a break out (either direction). Yeah, people can become anxious during these kinds of lower volume consolidation periods because they want some kind of action, including price movement, but for anyone who has been in bitcoin for a while, these kinds of phases are not really unusual or unexpected. |
