secure the money = secure the ... justice. no money = no justice.
justice is a part of the individual security.
I think this is the most important reason to be here today. If we expect justice to be given to us we will be so desperate. The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Albert Camus

A few weeks later he told me that BTC was too expensive for him to buy (a common newbie reaction).
Newbies dont think of money as a relative value, but as a absolute value. For them, money is a solid object, hard to move around. They dont see money as a flowing object.

as long as the network congestion/high-fees aren't resolved, bitcoin will not move anywhere - currently ripple does up to 1500tx/s with low-fees btc and eth are currently mostly gateway coins premined does not mean "not decentralized", IOTA and Cardano have interesting concepts let alone the fact that botcoin and his brother buttcoin are also centralized through China-SHA256 and extremly resource hungry who do you think will own the master-nodes for LN? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) the problem is the distribution of the coins for the premined projects, i guess the creators have the most, but that is also a problem with btc and early adopters currently btc can't cope with much more new users - a price of 50k$ is not justified will you pay 100$ transaction fee? - i wanted to buy some cardano and converted my btc to eth before transaction inb4 ripple shiller: i sold my stash at 20ct ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Ripple is a company run by few individuals with unlimited cap and blah blah. I dont know of anybody mining ripple... It is just like a tokenized visa, makes little sense to me Ripple cannot be mined and if anybody tells you differently, they're trying to rip ple you off. So how the hell are transactions validated? Seems to me like it is just a public db It is a public db. There are nodes which relay candidate transactions and also special validator nodes which use an iterative process to come to a consensus on candidate transactions that will be included in the ledger. I believe the nodes hash the resulting set of candidate transactions and compare the hashes among themselves until there is a supermajority in agreement. There is no reward for running a node or a validator node.

who do you think will own the master-nodes for LN? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) There are no master nodes for LN, go away and do your reasearch before making blatantly incorrect statements.

Good morning Bitcoinland. I see we're about where we were after yesterday's rise, a little over $15k... currently $15287USD/$19166CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Old coins are worth $18331USD/$22978CAD each (Coinmarketcap). The winter blahs are upon us once again. I don't expect any price doubling until the usual spring rally. Can't complain about the usual autumn rally though. 2017's was a real doozy. Time to settle in for the winter, content with last years harvest and wait for the new season. Then again, maybe a certain honey badger doesn't want to hibernate. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

I don't understand why there is so much negativity about BCH here. I'm not a BCH fanatic nor a BTC hater, I hold both in similar numbers.
The fact is BTC couldn't get to an agreement on something, so a fork happened. The forkers predicted that BTC would get stuck, and that's exactly what happened. At the moment BTC is almost unusable. I ordered myself BTC miners and had to pay in BCH.
I don't really care for LN, but even if I did, I can't use it right now. I can use any of thousands of coins, some shitty some not, to send money for cheap, the only one I can't do that with is BTC, isn't that bothering you at all ?
The only reason this situation hasn't caused a much bigger drop in price is that BTC being stuck, people couldn't get it to exchanges. And of course the fact that many people are now invested in BTC without understanding the first thing about it, without owning a wallet and without having even sent any coin anywhere.

Yeah, why? I can't see a reason. Maybe the several years of terrorist psyops and sabotage for hostile takeover attempts? My advice is to convert all of your funds in BCH and stay with your collegues in /r/btc.

Everyone here dogs me about my bitcoin calls being off 20% or whatever. Meanwhile they stick their heads in the sand about altcoins as they rise tens of thousands of percents.
YOU ARE the GREATEST, TERA bera... WE love your comments so much, because we are in this BTC WO thread to contemplate the tens of thousands of percents rise of alts... so pull our stupid-ass ostrich heads out of the sand and woke us. Thank you TEARA Beara, Thank you. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

My advice is to convert all of your funds in BCH and stay with your collegues in /r/btc. I don't want to, I want to keep both. I'm not a user of reddit, however I've been there and seen for myself the massive deletion of messages that goes on in the bitcoin subreddit, quite disgraceful really. And worrying if you believe in BTC, should be able to take criticism.

So much for cryptos... a non-crypto is kicking our ass right now. Let's wait and see...

Yet when you are rebuffed...you cant understand why zfag. Fine you want to hold other coins..trade..what ever..dont expect a warm fuzzy reception when you come in here to talk about it..

Sounds like you have no fucking clue, and you are just spouting off BCH talking points. Good luck to you and your BCH, and get the fuck out of here. Bye bye. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

Fine you want to hold other coins..trade..what ever..dont expect a warm fuzzy reception when you come in here to talk about it.. What I want to talk about are BTC problems, highlighted by the BCH split. I don't want to talk about BCH especially, however here it's called all kind of names, as if BTC was perfect, when in fact BTC is broken. Same for reddit, removing messages about BCH or other alts, why not, but removing messages from people, sometimes even noobs that don't know much, simply worried about their transaction being stuck, the mempool being full, etc., what message does that send ? It's like only fapping on a future upgrade is allowed.
