Why are people dumping before the Oct. 25 fork Because nobody gives a flying fuck about Bitcoin Gold. Actually, some of us actually could give two fucks. But that's about it. And why did they call it Bitcoin Gold? It has absolutely nothing to do with gold (e.g.- a coin backed by actual physical gold would make sense to be called Bitcoin Gold. But then it wouldn't have been Bitcoin at all w/o mining). It shoulda been called BitGPU TM, or something similar. Kids these days, they absolutely SUCK at marketing and branding.

Yeah not that it is appropriate topics of conversation for this forum thread. But it's really sad to me that in this day and age, no one converses or debates ideas, information, or thoughts anymore. They simply "proclaim" their position or beliefs on a matter, quickly label the other person with some label that implies a bucket or category of some opposite extreme ideology/point of view that doesn't even apply, and the whole conversation is immediately over before it even began.
That's the most allowed where there are many subjects with only one predefined admissible "respectable" position aka NewSpeak. And luckily I did not even alluded to ThoseWhoCannotBeNamed or the trollfest here would have been 10X bigger. /OT in topic I'm now all in cash with my funds on exchanges. Won't buy back until a Big Dump happens.

But that's about it. apparently Ledger Nano S & Blue Will Support Bitcoin Gold Fork(so I'm guessing they indeed give two fucks but maybe/maybe not a flying one )

Because humans are emotional creatures and will throw money at anything with gold in the name. That's the actual and only reason.

I'm going to bring out BitcoinPussyMagnet, BitcoinLifeExtension, BitcoinFourteenInchesofGlisteningMeat and BitcoinBitcoinBitcoinBitcoinandyetmoreBitcoinetc. Let's explore the outer limits of naming bias.

Sometimes selling looks like a good idea. Like now: edit: I'm holding my LTC too, obviously.

Is that not a bit early? better safe than sorry. All your funds, either btc, or cash, on exchanges isn't that safe. Just saying...

It goes along the same lines as credit cards. Maybe we will get BitcoinPlatinum next. "Don't leave home without it." "What's in your wallet?"

Terms like "racist", "fascist" and "antisemitism" are pretty well established words with clearly defined meanings.
what does it mean "semite"? do you know it? "SJW" otoh is short for a truly nonsensical label. It's bigoted right wing nutter code for "not a bigoted asshole".
Go to play the political correctness kommissar somewhere else. With me it does not work. Terms like "racist", "fascist" and "antisemitism" are pretty well established words with clearly defined meanings. Yeah, they mean someone you don't like. "SJW" otoh is short for a truly nonsensical label. It's bigoted right wing nutter code for "not a bigoted asshole". It means someone who, much like a small child, throws a tantrum when encountering someone he does not like. Drop dead Ibian
Hey Conspirosphere! Mr.Stormfront himself is here to back you up. Lucky you! https://youtu.be/l7QAiz2DQgY?t=20"I hate you daddy!" seems like the dips brings out the best in folks around here.... next thing ya know... roach will show up... This is hardly a "dip"... I mean, sure, technically you can say that BTC prices dropped from $6180 to $5700 - but really, to me, it seems more like a pause in the upwards, rather than a "dip"... ... Let's call it an "8% pause in the upwards." hahahahaha Agree, anyone?

It is interesting. These recently coined terms such as "social justice warrior" and "white knight" seem to be used as linguistic magic wands. Powerful spells the mere invocation of which should poison the well of ones opponent. Much like some earlier terms tiredly bandied about by those of a different political bent.
I understand what you are saying that SJW has been bandied about as a negative, but I am more neutral about it, and I really don't consider the label to be as negative as some want to make it out to be. The term White knight is way more fucking legitimate and valid regarding the behavior of someone else, and a white knight seems to be someone who is getting involved in some other person's concern when the other person may certainly be sufficiently capable of defending himself/herself. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with the power of some person to actually designate actual appointed representatives and/or spokepersons - however, a white knight seems to be a self-selected representative of some cause that may only be tangentially related to his/her own interests.

A SJW is a communist. We use a different term at the moment because humans are frightened animals that refuse to accept that we are sliding back towards state totalitarianism.
