 Some nefarious character could implement quite an attack on Bitcoin if they had enough hashing power... but they would need some other coin to point their miners at once their fuckery was complete.  I can't for the life of me imagine who would be up to such things.

#501,726

Something funny happened one hour ago, however. A truly minimalistic Bitcoin block #501,726 was mined by a miner whom I will describe as "unknown", pretending that I don't know who he or she or we is. ;-) The hyperlink points to btc.com, a Chinese explorer of BTC and BCH transactions.

empty blocks = faster calculations but no TX fees, could give you an edge at mining.

What a find.  Disturbing!

Good news:  there will be no BitcoinEdsel  BitcoinTitanic SegWit2X2.0

A hard fork may ignite such a breakdown. Fortunately for the Bitcoin, a "revived SegWit2x hard fork" announced for December 28th turned out to be a prank – or a method by a scammer to collect people's e-mail addresses.

Apparently it's meant to be a rootstock commitment, but whoever mined it didn't add the output which pays the reward to themselves.

Well still very bullish but man I’m tired!  Placed a stop loss order that will still be wonderful if filled, but hopefully it never needs to execute.

Can relax now and ignore the price say until Feb+. 😬

 You didn't watch the whole video did you?  "...Now keep in mind that these two charts have symbiotic relationships..." is where I stopped listening.  Dude obviously doesn't understand the words he's using so his analysis will be suspect.

Those two linear charts from 4 years apart are like

That dude is clearly a tard. We need to go at least 4x more before anything to happen. And not even then people will be sure of what will be happening.

I watched a little longer, later he said that he "thinks" MtGox was a Chinese exchange... that's where I closed the tab

This little dude has been getting a workout.

That is just what I want. If it will also say "fuck this I'm leaving" at 50k I'll put it on my desk.

^ Can you make that them play screaming sound effects whenever the price swings?

That's interesting, did he get the fees (5-6btc or so)

I called NLC some time ago. Was not positive, but there are patterns.

I do think someone is paying these youtubers big money to shill the public into oblivion.

No transactions in the block either. The miner got awarded absolutely nothing.

Blockchain info shows transaction fees were -12.5 BTC

There is a lot of FUD circulating around these days.

Have a look at the transaction on blockcypher.

Total Transacted
0.0 BTC

Total Fees
0.0 BTC

He got nothing.

You are rich. Rich in friendships from the people here on BF. Now go chew on a candy cane for awhile.

Meantime 12,900. Blah, but could be worse. We'll see how things look in the new year, meantime carry on....

I really do appreciate y'all.

Here's to blowing it out our ass in the New Year.

I sense a meme fest in the next few hours until 72 hours later. A 3 day party!!!

The vast majority of thread participants herein would have never bought such a stupid dumbass centralized manipulated coin,

While they may not have bought it, they may have received it. Anyone who asked got 20,000 XRP back in the day.

Really? 

You are trying to assert that these coins were "free" and/or fairly distributed based on some kind of "ask" scenario? 

You really believe your own bullshit half the time?
