I had no clue what the BIS was, so I had to google it.
The BIS is the ‘central bank of central banks’. To be honest, the recent media outings of their chairman on the rise of cryptocurrencies were not exactly what the public is waiting for in terms of banking reform (how not to increase faith of the public in banks or: a PR disaster in the making). I hate to say it but the physical appearance of the guy also does not help in the minds of the public. It all smells like making their long term irrelevance a given by their own (in)action, even without the ascent of cryptocurrencies.

I remember seeing this sometime ago and it made me really excited for future possibilities. Imagine a world in which you can e.g. pick up an instrument and master it in a very short time (the interface between the bionic arm and the brain "learns" through machine learning algorithms, which are going to get more and more sophisticated). And mechanical things like that are just the surface. Perhaps we'll be able to experience new colours and sounds by increasing our bandwidth and resolution, or even navigating (digital) spaces of higher and lower spatial dimensions than 3. I had no clue what the BIS was, so I had to google it.

I hate to say it but the physical appearance of the guy also does not help in the minds of the public. It all smells like making their long term irrelevance a given by their own (in)action, even without the ascent of cryptocurrencies. I'm not overly concerned with the mind of the public. We have a very strong support and an increasingly large industry. The public mainstream will eventually follow along, regardless of whether or not they realize it (e.g. by crypto forming some invisible back-end in Paypal like apps). When the internet and computers were more fringe, even as little as two decades ago, people who used those were often frowned and shunned upon by the rest of the population. And we can all see where those innovations are now. There's also no denying that some developments in the blockchain industry, as well as the blockchain itself, are groundbreaking by a multitude of measures. What the internet did for information, the blockchain does for finance. I'm trying really hard to find cases in which cryptos could fail to better educate myself, but I can't seem to find any that aren't less probable than winning the lottery. From what I've gathered over the years, far too many factors would have to align simultaneously to bring the crypto space down, and I just don't see it happening.

1:10 link between BTC and ETH seems to have stretched with that little pump.
On regulation: politicians are starting to figure out that crypto is wildly popular and that there are votes in being pro-crypto. There’s a lot that politicians will do to be voted back into office....

I don't care if they believe in crypto or not, if they actually turn pro-crypto - even if just to gain votes - that would be a positive development for humanity. After all, governments are supposed to represent the interests of the people. If all of politics worked this way I don't think I'd have any further problem with it other than the oversized bureaucracy, excessive tax rates, and sometimes overly strict regulations. But the latter issues require more education in the general population beyond partisan bullshit. It's easy to be pro-crypto because there's a very realistic chance to make a fortune with it. That's not the case with the other issues, which are far more intricate and grossly misrepresented and oversimplified in politics and media.

Buy the neckline breakout of the inverted head and shoulder pattern around $8,893 and sell when it hits $10k.
Woohoo! Reversal is near! Close to a Morning Star pattern in the weekly: Yea amazingly it broke the downward trend it appears on the weekly. So our bottom is a very steep foundation. No double testing! When u got a goji star like that, macd crossing, and fib line. That looks bullish. I thought on past 2 days it would hit that resistance level of $9200 but suddenly bounce down again and checking on image if that green candle would continue its a sign of reversal but yet there are lots of resistance to break up but rest assured on what would be the trend we are seeing is bullish.

AI = Artificial Intelligence. Means it is fake intelligence.
Means, the real intelligence can still out smart it. Thus humans will control machines for a long time. Up until they are self-replicating, self-repairing, self-sustaining, and self-aware.

Woohoo! Reversal is near! Close to a Morning Star pattern in the weekly: Very hopeful. And I am rooting for it. But the week has a long way to go, and we would probably want this week's candle to close over 10k. Tall order?

Why would anybody give a rat's ass about regulation when decentralized exchanges are on the horizon? For the very first time in history regulators won't be able to dictate their rule upon citizens. Decentralized exchanges need fiat on/offramps too, so they can be choked or leashed by regulation. That's the one issue that still makes me give a ratt's ass.

FTFY. Machine do what they are asked to do. Some machine learning algorithms (such as artificial neural networks) are based of the biomimetism principle, but the result is not even close to the reality. Biomimetism implies two things : -Our comprehension of the living is still very limited. Hence, genetic algorithm, artificial neural network, etc... are by essence incomplete. You can see this that way : an artificial neural network is 10% (or 20%, it is very subjective here) nature inspired, and 80% pure engineering. -Even with a full comprehension of nature processes, the algorithms outcoming of our attempt to mimic them wouldn't copy 100% of the reality, cause you know, organic cells (or organic processes in general) > transistors. Maybe this will change with major disruption in technology, for example a fully functionnal quantic computer. For now, biomimetism only gives us some general paradigm that emerged naturally. And it works because Nature is just damn well made. But as long as we don't understand the truly meaning and processes of a thought, we'll never have a sentient machine. Scifi stories where some creator kinda randomly create true (artificial) intelligence is pure fantasy.

We already have rudimentary self-replicating algorithms. They're also self-repairing/amending, which is why algorithmic trading with Machine Learning works so well compared to traditional and commercially available trading bots. Considering that these algorithms automatically adjust as new data rolls in, you could already say that they are self-aware (of their relevant metrics) as well. The reasons why these algorithms aren't shitting on human intelligence is mostly due to a lack of sufficiently intertwined networks, but we're slowly getting there. As far as "outsmarting" these algorithms is concerned. That's only partially true. We can screw with AI algorithms by analyzing precisely how they assimilate data (which doesn't work with all algorithms because it's sometimes impossible to tell what is going on and they're pretty much a blackbox). But they are usually significantly better than humans by a large margin at solving specific tasks. As mentioned earlier, the only reason they aren't capable of solving general tasks is because they're currently specialized algorithms for specific tasks. Once we can efficiently connect many such specialized "modules" together, humans will seem like complete retards compared to AI. Which raises the questions of whether or not we want to merge or inevitably have AI as our near-literal God. AI = Artificial Intelligence. Means it is fake intelligence.

Scifi stories where some creator kinda randomly create true (artificial) intelligence is pure fantasy. I would argue the contrary in continuation of my above ramblings. We don't need to mimic the human brain perfectly. Humans simply don't compare to specific task algorithms. All it takes to trump us is connecting modules together whilst allowing for the creation of new ones by the algorithm itself. And as I've mentioned, the first algorithms to create code already exist. So either of higher computational power or more efficient algorithms should be enough and reality both of these will get satisfied over time. We didn't copy birds or fishes either to fly in the skies or swim through the oceans either, and we're significantly better at both of these tasks. There is no compelling reason to create a carbon copy of the human brain for this specific purpose.

Yeah yeah. I get you.
There are running bots. They are good at running. Like that cheeta bot. There are aim bots. They can aim. See stuff. So there's robocop right there, but how does it know good from evil, right from wrong. It's going to make a mistake.
There are game bots. They play chess. They play go. That's all they know to play. So give them a break if they beat humans in a game. That's the only thing they can do anyway. They still had a hard time until recently and required massive computation and storage.
There are self driving cars. We will see how they improve. I still like to drive my own, for now.
There are sex bots. They have "family" mode too. So they try to talk to your friends and guests like normal. They try. They're still better at their first function.
There are trading bots. They buy low and sell high. The whole day. Keep the spreads small, and it will be profit. Still doesn't beat a half decent hedge fund manager, you know, the real ones that make good decisions. (And yes, humans make bad decisions too.)
Now, that's real. But nothing beats a group of humans, creating a coin from scratch, and singing it to the high heavens raking in billions of dollars and disappearing in a puff of smoke when they get a cease and desist letter. However, we call those guys scammers.
