Nah, she wasn't a racist, deluded, self-proclaimed nazi.  I actually never ignored her, either.

And he wasn't a 'she' either. You guys don't actually believe these troll accounts say, do you?

Most of the time i have to google the shit it comes out with, i had no idea what 1488 meant until today! lets just say it's seems very brave from behind a keyboard and probably a proxy.

Bitcoin was designed to be a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system."  When I read the white paper, I envisioned a better form of money for mankind, as we transition into the information age.  BTC has given up on that vision in favor of a sort of "digital gold" designed to be held and not spent.  That is not something I'm interested in.  BCH is a return to the original vision for Bitcoin.

Wait... bitcoin was modeled after the gold mining scheme, in a much steeper -and practically finite and very scarce- way, by design, and you thought what exactly? That it would be inflationary money that encourages spending and fast dumping?

If Satoshi wanted bitcoin to have no serious store of value, to promote quick-dumping instead of holding, he could have made a dogecoin-like scheme, with billions of coins and infinite inflation. But he didn't.

It's very unlikely that you realized this ...after BCH was created. Everyone knew what BTC is (scarce, limited, promotes hoarding instead of spending) for years. But you were interested then and lost interest after BCH? Lol...

However, even if you misunderstood what Bitcoin is, there are plenty of altcoins with problematic store of value properties, including bitcoin forks that will run into a tail emission requirement (since it won't be able to support itself with fees), that can suit your "needs" of a devaluating coin.

I thought she was outed as Isabella Kaminski, a journo who writes for the fringes of the FT - with a negative, but reasonably well-informed stance on crypto.

Edit: NLC disappeared immediatley after this accusation was leveled.  And to my knowledge she or he never mentioned NLC's gender.

So to further answer, no, I do not believe a lot of what I hear on here, a lot of it is ill-informed and baseless.

There have been many accounts that have come and gone over the last couple of years, both blatant troll/shill and supposedly benign pro-Bitcoin 'friendly' accounts, that have created a "narrative backstory" around their supposed lives.

For me, there are very few here that I actually believe they are who they say they are (ex: JimboToronto, Icygreen, Elwar, etc. to name just a few). The rest are completely full of shit.

DEAD ON +1000

If no one ever held btc, it would never rise to the marketcap that Satoshi imagined long term. Just having high money velocity alone would never have achieved it.

Couple that with the fact that no one, NO ONE, goes through all the hoops and hassle and linking bank accounts and fees to buy bitcoin for the purposes of turning right around and spending it online somewhere. NO ONE. This was true even 4-5 years ago when fees were essentially non-existent. To say otherwise is being completely disingenuous to reality. The amount of e-Commerce going on in the crypto space is so miniscule it is almost laughable. I bet worldwide face-to-face bartering of goods beats it by 1000X order of magnitude in terms of fiat amount traded.

Peter R. is dead wrong on this issue.

What volume of futures contracts were written?

I think NLC revealed very little of any backstory and was just a full on troll.  But no matter, I am pretty convinced it was her, her twitter feed was similarly acerbic, so I was pretty convinced.

As for everyone being full of shit on here, I don't think so I try to be as forgiving of all but those who are truly beyond the pale. I do, however, think people have a tendency to react like clockwork reactionaries, according to their myopic world views (Roach is the supreme example) and are unlikely to ever see how far wrong they are, or realise how others see them.

But hey, we're none of us perfect and if one of us really had a totally perceptive world view and was capable of seeing the future - I doubt we'd find this place anything but frustrating.

Its showing 435k satoshis per kb here, for 6 blocks confirmation. Last time I checked was around 300k.

And the leverage, how it plays into that?

From my (little) understanding, they use the leverage to worsen the effects of a big short.

Back from the holidays. How has everybody in here been?

Did I miss anything major other than BCC finally popping and JP Morgan going on a market manipulation buying spree again?
