There's something happening here.  The extent of the Tether scam isn't exactly clear.  There's a jew with some shekels in his hand, ready to steal everything not nailed down to land.

Me too - but there are plenty of people here from 'murica that seem not to have noticed.  Maybe they're all for freedom being sold off, I guess enough of 'em voted for....

Ok, never mind.  I will keep quiet and just be (very quietly) flabbergasted.

You are not the only one.

I was beginning to wonder....  Net neutrality is 'meh'?!!!

Very sad development.

From Kraken's announcement:

Remember that if you are publicly advertising your involvement with cryptocurrencies, you are making yourself a target.

Be extra careful guys! We don't want a $5 wrench unlocking our wallets!

I'm just sitting here waiting to be kidnapped by thugs. It's bound to happen.

Here's a nice Swedish company that will make you feel safe in your home. They will definitely be building my next home.

Soooooo

If bitcoin is a govt created scam:  net neutrality change has no effect

If bitcoin is not a govt created scam:  incoming block of non-obfuscated bitcoin traffic?

"Be ready to lose all your money"

Oh no...  

They are still in the "then they fight you" phase.
So we haven't won allready.

Bullish!

Seems like nothing more than sensible advice to me. The guy's telling people they're on their own and he don't get it. And Bitcoin developers themselves warn people they could lose all their money too.

I know. This is all a gamble. Could go well if bitcoin scales to the demand, could go wrong.
I'm just chiming in on the hype.
Personally I think we're at the beginning of the mania phase. By now either my mom nor my grandma nor my brothers want to buy bitcoin. So there's room to grow. If my grandma asks me if she should invest, thats a clear no from me.
If we have a slower but constant rise over the next months, this assesment could change.

I don't think it is much a question of investing vs no investing. It could well be a yes to investing for everyone... depending on HOW MUCH.

I don't see any problem in everyone "investing" any quantity they would otherwise just SPEND/WASTE in a casino or other useless lucky game.

Same as I don't see any problem in any multimillionaire investing a few percentage of its net worth into it, even if he doesn't know what he's doing.

Normies investing their whole savings? That's a solid NO.

Luckily I'm not a normie and never invested. I just got my coins. Good old times when Bitcoin just lay about everywhere. Only problem: explain that to your tax office.

I think they get more in capital gains tax from us than they would have gotten in income tax.

Yes he does. It's not over yet though, it will likely head to court.

Also for the record, there are plenty of Americans on all sides (conservatives, liberals, and libertarians) that are really pissed about repeal of net neutrality.  It's a slippery slope that will only lead to unfair practices.

There probably won't even be a bitcoin or US dollar 10 years from now in the first place.  Both the energy industry and the financial scam complex are collapsing, and that's the reason they can't extend and pretend this time in the financial sector, solely due to the energy sector peaking and now declining which implodes all the ponzies that need infinite growth to survive.  It's not a very popular opinion for people to hear, but humans go through cyclical dark ages, which is not a surprising result when taking into account increases in complexity have diminishing returns, as well as diminishing returns and backfire of trying to perform top-down centralization management at scale, and the act of trying to apply infinite growth to a closed ecosystem.

The dark ages is just a correction to remove inefficient systems, systems that failed due to over-centralization, systems whose output is much less than the input due to being overly complex and thus a waste of energy, and so forth.  Contrary to the majority of bitcoin pump and dump shills, bitcoin does absolutely nothing to solve centralization problems; it's designed to centralize.

let's buy iota then

[realr0ach]

let's buy iota then

IOTA is worthless.  A DAG is completely counterintuitive to trying to create consensus on some type of variable or balance sheet.  To use a DAG, you're required to create an artificial, forced consensus (and that's exactly what they're doing).  It's like IOTA and Byteball were created while ignoring any of the issues that had to be researched while trying to create bitcoin (bitcoin - another system that does not work since it's designed to centralize, but at least succeeds in creating centralized consensus).  In the case of Byteball, they just use an obfuscated form of bitshares DPOS, thus invalidating any reason to have a DAG at all since the DPOS system completely negates DAG due to the DPOS layer taking precedent in the hierarchy.  

Systems that have removed the so called "triple entry accounting" aka blockchain, are also way more prone to being instantly destroyed by black swans.  But in the case of bitcoin, it's not even real triple entry accounting if it's designed to centralize, now is it?  It's like claiming the act of Bank of America giving customers a weekly balance sheet print out is a triple entry accounting breakthrough.  It doesn't matter if people have access to store read only digits for no reason, it only matters who controls the fucking digits!  If the block validators (aka miners) are designed to centralize, they can insert chain anchor, censor or block transactions, increase or lower coin count, or mutate the protocol any way they want.  

A 51% attack is NOT a so called miner raising the coin cap above 21 million or double spending only, a 51% attack is any type of collusion to change the protocol in any way because one man's wanted change is always going to be another man's nightmare.  If mining is just a power vacuum that is always exploited by centralized cartels, then you have no redundancy, you just have authoritarianism and no reason for bitcoin to exist.
