Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

All you fucking moron goyim are on the slave plantation now.  Only an idiot does what the government (aka Goldman Sachs & other evil jews) wants you to do.  I do the exact opposite of what the govt wants and only buy physical silver while dumping imaginary wealth (bitcoin) that can vaporize up into smoke at any second.

You know your shtick is getting real tired r0ach. Maybe if you just cut and paste the same shit from your 1000 other older posts it might save you some time.  

Or maybe you should stop being a Judas and selling out the rest of humanity for a few shekels even though you know damn well nothing about cryptocurrency is going to be pro-freedom in the end.  The only endgame of craptocurrency will be federated chains run by govts and corporations (slave coins) because it's not actually possible to create a decentralized craptocurrency, only ones designed to centralize.  

Since both PoW and PoS are designed to centralize, this means none of these things have any fundamentals whatsoever.  Nothing with zero fundamentals can survive in the long term.  They will either just die on their own flat out from being centralized, or they will be centralized enough for the state to just walk up and take over and then turn them into federated chains from there through some type of G7 or EU commission.

Yes, we all know when gold and silver was used as money in antiquity, there was no problem at all with the governments at the time enslaving people.  
Plus all that gold really helped Montezuma's empire remain sovereign from the conquistadors.

like gold, bitcoin has emerged as an insurance policy to the insanity

LOL NO.

Bitcoin is NOTHING like physical metals.  Bitcoin does not remove counter party risk or middlemen.  It has built in rent seeking middlemen (transaction validators).  It is not a store of value either due to having a floating cost of production that can "float" downwards to $1 or zero just as easily as it can float upwards, unlike metals.  The cost of production of metals generally only goes up, which is why it doesn't even matter if people mined stuff in space (won't happen in your lifetime anyways); the cost of production would be orders of magnitude higher.

The government WANTS you to buy bitcoin and doesn't try to stop it at all (except Chinese capital flight), and instead tries to manipulate metals and prevent people from investing in those.  They do not want you to have access to real money or wealth.  They want the slaves only using imaginary currency or fiat.  It's not just noggers that are slaves.  All you fucking moron goyim are on the slave plantation now.  Only an idiot does what the government (aka Goldman Sachs & other evil jews) wants you to do.  I do the exact opposite of what the govt wants and only buy physical silver while dumping imaginary wealth (bitcoin) that can vaporize up into smoke at any second.

Bitcoin has all the technical properties of gold, plus a few more. This is years old news even if you didn't know. Bug off.

Because force is the only valid consensus mechanism.  Bitcoin is designed as a war game exercise that utilizes this "force as the only valid consensus mechanism" concept, but just like a real war game, there is a continuous consolidation of power as opponents are eliminated while new opponents are prevented from entering (adversarial mining, ASIC patents, foundry monopolies, etc) until you have a winner take all scenario or something close to it.  PoW was never a valid way to build anything decentralized and nobody has discovered anything to improve on it because it's not actually possible to create a decentralized cryptocurrency.  

The whole thing was basically a fraud from day one.  The only reason any establishment people (like Larry Summers and Ben Bernanke) promote this garbage is because they want to use it to indoctrinate the slaves (you) into willfully participating in their future cashless society slave grid run by...the same Jewish conmen (Pharisees) that people have had to kick out of different countries 200 times now.  The last thing they want are the slaves to break free from the plantation and get access to real wealth (physical metals).

I have not personally sorted through the entire (astronomical) list of countries the evil Jewish conmen have been kicked from to determine which entries are duplicates or not.  The fact that generally nobody...I mean NOBODY wants to live in a black neighborhood, even other black people, yet blacks are rarely ever kicked out of countries while the Jews are always kicked out, really tells you these people are constantly up to some diabolical, evil shit.

Actually D&D type world need money-sink like your personal stronghold or fiefdom or some 4th dimensional object like Bag of Holding or some secret hideout out in the astral plane.  Otherwise, you would have run away inflation from endless slaughter of local fauna/mob/npc by your favorite adventurers.   Besides, D&D is more than just bimetallism, I recall that there are copper, electrum, and platinum as well.

Money has to have some type of attachment to the real world.  You can't print your way to prosperity, so to speak (aka bitcoin).  If you have no link existing between money and reality, someone or some entity will eventually distort the market for personal profit into huge boom and collapse waves (which are now not just financial crimes, but things resembling dark ages or extinction level events).  In the modern context, most of that is due to expansion of credit. If you were to play god and mandate all money be based around bitcoin, well, bitcoin will never have scalability for everyone to use in native format; people would be using bitcoin derivatives or off-chain shell games.  This means no real possible run on the banks, they would just turn fractional reserve and you would get your dark ages collapse eventually.

If you were to mandate all money can only be physical metals used in native coin format, this means banks run an extreme risk of having a run on them.  This is actually a good thing, because a run (or possible run) on the banks is the only thing that prevents them from distorting markets with credit inflation and deflation.  It provides a governer to limit what order of magnitude fraud they can do.

[LewisPirenne]

The point being that even with strength of 18/00 and a bag of holding, you can only carry so much coin around with you.  Not to mention that it makes you a really fat target.  
So the use of commodities money like silver and gold pretty much leads to the invention of banking, hawala, and consequently lending and fractional reserve system.

Just try to carry around 15~20 kg of silver or gold around with you, like a monster box of 500 Eagle or Maple around for a week and see what happens.  I have done so and it is quite enlightening.
You can immediately see why people want to store this somewhere and not want to carry it around for trade.  It is far easier to to get that "Letter of Credit" and present it to the local branch of some banking serve for delivery of goods at the port rather than haul so much metals around.  

Naturally with "custodial" banking, it does not take a genius to start lending out these "dead weight money" with some sort of fractional reserve system and try to make some money on the side.  

Edit.  This does not mean that some genius won't find a way to start a credit system with crypto, like Ripple is trying to do.  You could have an IOU system build on top of PoW crypto using BTC as reserve.

So what compound are we all going to retreat to and be able to fend off the pillaging and plundering governments who want our hoard of gold and silver? Hope this doesn't end up like Waco. Guess we better learn guerilla tactics real quick since US military seems to have trouble with that.

With gold and silver as money, might makes right. That's why in D&D fantasy, the dragons always have the biggest hoards.

Good point. See: Tesla vs. Edison.
One of these two was a good businessman, and the other is still regarded as a kook.
