OMg I'm in love!

 I feel you!  I love Rhodesian ridgebacks too!!

Gorgeous Breed and he's go impeccable taste in owners!

How did I know I was going to get this reply.  +1 WO for u

Here's a recent interview with a interesting character: https://breakermag.com/john-mcafee-is-73-very-stoned-and-running-for-president/

He's a fucking lunatic, I like that in a person.

But I wouldn't want him in the white house. But I would vote for him over Trump.

Stoned people are always entertaining.

It doesn't matter if he's stoned or not, he is just like that from everything I have seen and I was in the industry almost as long and have followed his reality show since it started in the early 90's.

I'd love to see him debate the Donald, or the FBI. I really hope he runs for president. Of course he doesn't stand a chance - and he's smart enough to say it aloud and repeatedly, but can you imagine the fun?

The entertainment value would be EPIC. And he would murder trump.

Doesn't Mcafee engage in his outrageousness as a form of attention-whoring narcissism, which makes him very similar to Trump, in some outrageous proclamations as a need to get attention kind of ways. 

On the other hand, Mcafee is certainly quite smarter than Trump in terms of technical abilities and likelihood that Mcafee knows how to read and understand complex ideas, and Mcafee is not afraid of drugs and exercise as trump seems to be.  Trump seems to get by and to have success based on bullying behavior, while Mcafee is more accepting of other points of view and able to understand a variety of perspectives.

Segwit and nonsegwit are all "on the blockchain."  I don't know how anyone who has been in bitcoin for a while would conclude that segwit is NOT on the blockchain?  I do believe that segwit has allowed the transactions per second to jump up dramatically and if you hit refresh on that page you will see the transactions per second jumping around between 10tsp and over 300tsp...   It seems that before segwit, there were proclamations that the bitcoin blockchain could only process a maximum of 7tps.

Yeah... about that....

Segwit or no segwit, BTC is utterly incapable of averaging 300 tps. By a couple orders of magnitude. Block weight will not allow it.

People testing the lightning network are seeing 400TPS easily between two nodes.  

Segwit let that happen.

Note the "on the blockchain" in the quote that advances the mistaken notion -- which I corrected -- that ...

Oh fuck it. If you're determined to be a loon, go ahead. Knock yourself out.

But what difference does it make, jbreher, if "on the blockchain" or not, if in the end, there is a certain amount of secure utility that is achieved through a combination of solutions, including lightning network that allows a kind of pegging of bitcoin and voluntary use and relief of the blockchain that allows for greater overall Bitcoin capacity that is still largely permissionlessly secured to the blockchain - even if it happens to include some aspects that might end up being one (lightning network) or more layers out (other future developments that might be built upon lightning network)?   

Segwit might not have been absolutely required for some of these solutions, but it remains the current innovative direction of our current consensus bitcoin and the more that it is built upon the more it becomes built upon and accepted as a core aspect with its own network effects that seem to complement the underlying securing foundation, bitcoin.  Do we need to get caught up on the weeds about whether attempting to completely keep things "on the blockchain" might be a preferable solution when some alt coins, such as bcash are live testing in that direction, and that route has so far been overwhelmingly rejected by the bitcoin community?

[JayJuanGee]

I don't recall seeing anyone post or discuss this 1broker.com seizure issue that happened about two days ago.

https://bitcoinist.com/1broker-com-domain-seized-by-the-fbi/

I don't recall such discussion either.

Then again, I don't get the relevance of J. Rando biz getting raided upon Bitcoin WO or price discussion.

Doesn't it seem relevant to the possible direction of bitcoin when branches of the US government are becoming more experienced in attempting to shut down bitcoin related businesses because of alleged failure to comply with KYC / AML laws and suggesting that American citizens are negatively affected by such practices that allow american's to participate without KYC AML (merely an email and password)?  Seems to have some possible relevance related to bitcoin use cases, bitcoin's ability to escape governmental controls and possibly on bitcoin prices, too?

[JayJuanGee]

Anyway, maybe I'll go batshit crazy and convert all my BTC into BCH to trigger the next bullrun.

Careful -- they'll be out for blood.

Actually, the last few days suggest that now might be a pretty good time to make such a move.

Buy BCH now, infofront!!!!!!  The BCH/BTC price is a bargain, and BCH is currently .081BTC, up 1.77% from yesterday's BCH/BTC price, but certainly poised to go up from here.  Batshit crazy, here infofront comes with a new avatar!!!!

Yes

On the other hand, Mcafee is certainly quite smarter than Trump in terms of technical abilities and likelihood that Mcafee knows how to read and understand complex ideas, and Mcafee is not afraid of drugs and exercise as trump seems to be.  Trump seems to get by and to have success based on bullying behavior, while Mcafee is more accepting of other points of view and able to understand a variety of perspectives.

Actually they are both very similar with the difference I see as being as you pointed out that Mcafee is more intelligent and certainly more educated and another very important distinction is that McAfee is a self made man where Trump would be flipping burgers if he hadn't been born one step from home plate.

Also, MacAfee isn't afraid to (allegedly) order the murder of somebody who's dogs are pissing him off when he's hung-over.

My best guess is that this is true, I think McAfee has gotten away with murder. I also think if trump ever thought (or putin) that McAfee had a chance of getting the whitehouse from Trump that he would be paying for that crime faster than he could yell "I stole everyone's digital signatures and bundled them to make me famous".

It also appears that he is a Scammer that runs P&D schemes and takes bribes to shill and makes false claims that he does not back up. In other words he has no Honor and his word is worthless.

McAffee for prez!!!

he's got a real bizarre fetish too... so i've heard (not gonna link , if curious, just search the google...)

I've got neighbors with annoying barking dogs but murdering them (the neighbors, that is) might be a little overboard.
( I might consider shooting the dogs however)

You, sirazimuth, seem like a very reasonable person.

High probability we test the yearly lows in Oct, and fall.

October is traditionally a rally month.

let us be rallying ...... prefer upwarts but thats just my opinion

This is my best match against a 2014 scenario.



https://www.tradingview.com/i/YSYQZwmF/

I would accept that scenario right away (which holder wouldn't?).

Unfortunately there is a high probability that futures markets (CME/CBOE/etc) have indeed sorta "tamed" Bitcoin and we won't see neither those lows nor those skyrocketing highs, at least not in that relatively short timeframe. But... I only know that I know nothing and anything is possible.

I am "poor" already... If it is on the cards that I will be "sufficiently rich" someday just because of crypto... so be it. In the meantime I will be working on other potentially profitable stuff to raise my probabilities of reaching that status one way or another.

The next months/years are critical guys.
