Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're back where we were yesterday which is where we were 4-5 days ago... currently $14996USD/$18681CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins are now worth $17707USD/$22053CAD (Coinmarketcap).

January, yawn.

Are these Mexico prices, brother. Are you still hitting the bricks soonish?

[J. Cooper]

I do not regret calling Jamie Dimon a fraud.

I'd like to acknowledge that I see what you did there.

@Melt_Dem

$300B market cap: "Bitcoin is a fraud"
$800B market cap: "i regret calling Bitcoin a fraud"
$1.5T market cap: "we are launching a Bitcoin trading desk"
$5T market cap: "rebrand to JP blockchain Morgan"

not by Izzy sorry

I couldn't control myself from laughing for a minute. I just love how he came back to his orignial statement that bitcoin was a fraud. These guys are really made themselves look stupid by saying such ignorant things. Let's see if your predicition turns out to be true.

He's already been claimed by this old queen. Back off or have your eyes scratched out.

As long as I still have dibs on the vile-pelvis talisman, I am OK with this.

Im sorry...the pelvis is mine...G gave it to me fair and square.  Happy to share tho.

Shall we settle this with a vigorous game of Rochambeau then ? The vile-pelvis talisman is mine !

I'll have you know, it's a morning ritual of mine, to wake up, and smash my testicles between two bricks, while alternating doing sets of push-ups and sit-ups.

the trend holds again overnight



A break to one of the lower trends would not surprise me in the least...but I have learned from bitter experience not to bet against this beast.

In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

I actually would regard using LN as the natural progression of scaling up peer to peer payments. Consider that much of the peer to peer traffic on the internet itself which we used to have has moved more to peer - "cloud" - peer system.

Good parallel.

Can't remember the last time I used a torrent program to get data.

... but if some data should get censored everywhere from "cloud peer" systems, it would spread through torrents like wildfire. That is, base blockchain transfers will always be an option, no matter what.

Not sure if I understood that correctly but if I did, I could view torrents being replaced by cloud services as a regression from a decentralised system back towards a more centralised one. Cloud services are provided by a small number of large companies.

You're right.

I expressed my thought clumsily. By "good parallel" I meant to make a point with those that are afraid LN means more centralization. It will also reduce costs, as peer-cloud-peer systems do: most peers don't need to keep seeding the torrent.

Anyway I still find torrents useful.

I also still use them, even if they're not that fashionable anymore. What I failed to convey is that they will still be ready to use, and back in high demand, if (when!) circumstances (censorship) will make them necessary again.

But anyway, thanks for a civilised response. I prefer reasoned debate than being told to fuck off.

Oh, well, fuck off then.

 So in short, you're afraid to short?

[jojo69]

 So in short, you're afraid to short?

Well, what if the market knows, that I know, that it knows, that I know, that it knows, that I know that I am a terrible trader?

[Torque]

Is anyone still not blown away that we are still 15X up from where we were a year before?  

Last year at this time, I guessed we would end 2017 between $1600-1800. And I was so wrong.

So Ima make the same prediction, I say we will end 2018 somewhere ~$22k-26k.  Even that would be a great year to me.

[jojo69]

Well, FWIW, just placed a sell order for 60 BTC @ $17k.

Time to start lining up my end-of-Q1 retirement plans...

you traitorous faggot!

[ragnar0k]

Does any of you know if huobi is reliable?
Need to sell some shitcoins no other exchange would take

[Toxic2040]

I am blown away...still.

But this bearishness...what is this?  Ahhh..I see now..this is reverse psychology.

Its a classic dilemma. Its very easy to project what you desire into reality.

I am confident your expectations will be met.

Is 100k going to make that much of a difference? Different people have different goals..but to me..a 100k price dif(ie 15k to 17k) would not be enough of a change for me alter plans.
Bob..Im already retired..and 100k is less than a half years wage for me. How many years do you expect that 100k to support you?  Half a year?  3 years?  10 years?  30 years.
I guess what im trying to say is if that small change(for me) is going to radically alter your retirement profile...maybe its time to take a second look at your portfolio.

The graphic tries to show how funding a channel is like funding a 'hot wallet'. A more accurate description is that funding a channel is like depositing money with a bank.

Explain why you think that statement is true, and I will explain why you are wrong.

The graphic showed nodes which would be represented by the likes of Amazon, Bitcoin Exchanges and Banks as 'Massively connected Hubs'. Opening a channel with a massivly connected hub like Amazon, a bitcoin Exchange or a bank is more like depositing money with a bank than sending some bitcoin to another wallet, (a hot wallet if you like). I don't know how to explain it more clearly than that. Feel free to show me why I'm wrong. I'm often wrong about a great many things

Afbitcoins is a Bcash shill/shit noob.

Where do you even get that from? Being a sceptic of offchain scaling immediately makes you a bcash shill/shit noob ?? I don't follow that logic. Therefore I conclude you are a ripple noob shit turnip brain. If you must know I have a little bcash left over that I haven't sold. But mostly I'm not invested in it currently. I reserve the right to add more to my portfolio if I like, I still don't think that would make me a bitcoin cash, sorry bcash noob/ shit all shit noob. whatever. Get some facts before you spout shit

Sometimes being told to fuck off isn't that bad. JJG chose a nice big colourful font for it the other day which I quite liked. lol

The November/December price rocket shocked me. I never expected such huge gains so fast.

3day chart seems to be drawing the perfect bubble...

3day chart seems to be drawing the perfect bubble...

In what way? Looks exactly like December 26th-28th, almost exactly where it is today except a bit higher. So, breaking bubbling upwards... again?
