All? No. More expensive? No. Spamson Mow of Blockstream FUDding as expected. After all, that's what he is paid to do. |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

It's not possible to "take possesision" of bitcoin because the coins never leave the blockchain in the first place.
Your mind seems to have a rather limited capacity for abstraction. |

Don't properly care for your tools, they'll eventually let you down. Sometimes, when your life depends upon their proper functioning.
+1. A good habit to get into is routine maintenance of things you might need to rely on in a pinch. |

Gold + Silver = Dumb money
Bitcoin = Smart money
Bitcoin isn't money at all, it's a currency. Fungibility is one of the requirements of money. Money can't just randomly morph from one thing to another with forks or alterations. Money = has objective, static traits Currency = random arbitrary bullshit some guy makes up and constantly fiddles with aka bitcoin This is why it's called "crypto currency". Currencies are not a store of value either. People just make believe bitcoin is whenever they get on the profitable side of a pump and dump. |

Gold pumped from $400 to $1900, now down to $1255 Silver pumped from $16 to $50, now down to $16.50 Metals a reliable store of value, you say? |

I bought silver at $30 so I am a total idiot and I was devastated as it dropped. I just wish I'd thrown it all in bitcoin early 2013 instead of silver. We can all look back and say what if I guess.... On the plus side I was buying bitcoin up in the 200s and it's not turned out too bad. |

it's been 37 years since gold's all time high when you take inflation into account, which i'm told is one of the points of gold. that's not good enough. |

We can all look back and say what if I guess.... On the plus side I was buying bitcoin up in the 200s and it's not turned out too bad. Do not feel bad about that. To a certain degree, the metals $ price is irrelevant because if there is a monetary reset one day, metals pricing will end up orders of magnitude higher. Consider it long term insurance instead of an investment. In 2013 I bought some bitcoin near the top before the last crash. After that I just continued to cost average down to about ~$500 or so. Now things are looking better. I actually bought a little bitcoin @$900 at the beginning of the year. One lesson I learned is, buy the majority of a commodity or security when no one wants it and sentiment is in the toilet. Metals are pretty much close to that now. Bitcoin, not so much.  |

It kinda makes me wonder what Roach paid for his beloved silver. He reminds me of Kwukduck. So embittered by his poor investing skills that he spends his days belittling Bitcoin.  |

Gold pumped from $400 to $1900, now down to $1255 Silver pumped from $16 to $50, now down to $16.50 Metals a reliable store of value, you say? Not a valid argument and I already posted why. The ESF can only naked short metals down to cost of production to try and contain them. The second they go after bitcoin with naked shorts, they can literally destroy it because there's no real price floor. The fact that the ESF has not yet attempted to destroy bitcoin means one of two things: 1) either bitcoin is a govt sanctioned scam, or 2) they just haven't gotten around to destroying it yet: 4) Cryptocurrency doesn't function as a store of value because it's price floor is recursive based on it's own demand (in PoW). This means it's a complete house of cards in terms of so called value storage.
In commodities like silver, the ESF practices Keynesianism in the commodity markets and naked shorts them down to cost of production to try and keep their market caps as low as possible and prevent them from competing with the dollar. Why? Because nobody would submit to slavery via debt based scam currency at all unless you force them into it.
They can't short metals lower than cost of production because it would create scarcity and be counterintuitive to their goals. However, they can short bitcoin below cost of production because there is no real price floor, only a temporary, synthetic one. This in turn causes the miners to be forced to turn off (like KNC) and the synthetic floor crashes even more until the thing implodes to nothingness.
Another reason why craptocurrency is horrible and not a sound form of money. Metals like silver can be manipulated by shorts to contain their market cap, but bitcoin can actually be destroyed by them due to having no real floor.

So what's the estimated date for activation. I'm guessing Aug 1st is a nothing date now we are locked in. (As I always say I am only a hodler so my knowledge on these kind of things are limited)
