ICO market is dead. Probably now it's the right time to invest  We've devolved into an ICO pumping thread, too? Why not take that to an Ethereum thread? or maybe a Bcash thread, I heard that Bcash is becoming more friendly to the ICO ideas to help to possibly give them a purpose. |

Essentially the point is that institutional investors want to buy up large quantities of Bitcoin without moving the price. So if they are only buying OTC from Bitmain and other large miners, and the "halvening" happens in 589 days... then I would agree that could easily be where the increase in price comes.
When I said "probably well before the halvening", I was thinking along the following lines. Lately, volume on traditional exchanges has been ridiculously low. I think this might not be tightly connected with shark buyers going OTC; they have been doing things that way for a while already. The issue is small fish losing interest, patience, fiat money, or all of the above. As soon as all these things build back up, exchange prices must inevitably get a push. Any sign of a bull market will likely trigger a wave of small fish FOMO that will be impact prices for all to see, including MSM. Which will likely create some feedback loop and we'll be back to late 2017 scenarios. Maybe we should ask Jamie Dimon. I bet he has a pretty good idea of when that might be.
So, who calls him? Will you or should I?  I'd call Jamie Dimon, but I think he blocked my number due to my efforts to call out his BS in 2017.  I agree, retail interest in Bitcoin is very low right now, which gives the sharks plenty of room to swim without interference. But once we see some news that spikes enough people's interest, the domino effect will take place like in 2017: - Institutional investors quietly buying Bitcoin...
- Some announcement drives decent interest in buying Bitcoin
- Bitcoin price goes ^
- "Bitcoin Bull Run Again?" in news cycle
- People start FOMO and buy BTC
- Bitcoin price goes ^^
- More news cycles about Bitcoin "Bitcoin Goes on a Real Tear This Time, Will We See $1,000,000? Jamie Dimon Says Yes"
- More people FOMO buy
- Bitcoin price ^^^
- News cycles go wild, your grandma sees it and calls you to ask you to help her buy Bitcoin
- Institutional investors taking profit $$
- Bitcoin price ---
- People tell themselves this is consolidation before more ^^^
- Institutional investors finish taking profit $$$, start shorting
- Bitcoin price \/
- People say, "just people taking a little profit before hitting the REAL bull run"
- Bitcoin price \/\/
- People start getting a little worried about a repeat, not buying any more
- Institutional investors get busy shorting
- Bitcoin price \/\/\/
- People start reverse FOMO, selling all their holdings
- Bitcoin price \/\/\/\/\/
- Institional investors cashing in shorts... $$$$$$$
- Retail investors lose their shorts
- Bitcoin bottoms and cycle starts all over again
I am not sure why this narrrative - that institutional investors always make the right calls and own the markets while retail investors always get killed- is so prevalent in crypto psyche. Most of bitcoin richlist are retail investors. Meanwhile funds drove the ICO craze and got killed. But whatever excuse you want to make as to why you’re not wealthier, go right ahead if it makes you feel better. |

whoa !!!! french fries with steak  ?? you do not see that combination in north america (well maybe Canada). Makes me want to go to a steak restaurant and ask for fries with my steak and see what reaction I get... You'll probably get a raised eyebrow. But that's because... u r doing it rong. When you wants fries with your steak, you asks for 'pommes frites'. It's all in the phraseology. Canada was the first place I experienced french fries with chili and cheese poured on top of them. I think they called them chili fries.
That's fairly close to a poutine. You can get chili fries anywheres. |

Original Joe's is a steakhouse that originated in San Jose, California, and they serve steak with fries as an option.
There's still an Original Joe's right off the Plaza de Cesar Chavez - in the heart of the downtown area. I can't say that I know it is the original Original Joe's, tho. I'd guess it's a good chance. Hell, you can find one right inside the terminal before you leave the airport - but that ain't likely to be the original Original Joe's, neither. |

Wanted to read the actual paper.... £1250 for the actual research paper.... As a physicist myself. I can tell you guys this: Just contact the researcher personally and just ask for the paper. He/she will gladly give it to you for free. Researchers usually never even get paid a penny from publishers and publishers usually demand idiotic prices. Author of the paper is Windsor Holden. https://www.linkedin.com/in/windsor-holden-ba9765/?originalSubdomain=uk have fun. Ok, I see. Wrong name. He is probably disappointed by the fact his name's not Holder. It could have been a hell of a name Windsor Holder About the newspaper article and its headline: isn't it a truly bad attempt to quote the headline used by Satoshi in the Genesis Block? Maybe that's just me. |

It's not that they're not allowed, it's just the amount of BS you have to go through with the SEC is not worth it for a startup. There are several different approaches, the best one being that you can raise up to $5 million a year from non-accredited US investors. The US makes it so anyone who is not rich already cannot invest in something that may make them rich. Because grandma is stupid. If she invests in something and loses her money she calls her congressman to complain. So he writes a law so no more grannies can invest their money. Problem solved. Thank your masters for protecting you from yourself. |

Got my lambo after bitcoin reaches 6,600$ yesterday Ridiculous. Is that you Joulian? Buying a Ducati with your bitcoin at $450? There is a concept. Delayed gratification. Reminds me of some of the dumbasses such as roach, and some others talking about cashing their 2x or 3x bitcoin profits or pumping diversification into precious metals right before the May 2016 bitcoin uptrend.... and could have done much better with some will power. Or bitcoin hodl power. |

The first version made me laugh more
It's not supposed to be funny. It is supposed to fill your heart with anger and hatred for all altcoins. Feel the burning fury, the unlimited fiery passion of hating altcoin! The only thing that will sooth your soul is moar bitcoin.... Somewhere in the perfect parallel universe...  Sorry for re-posting, day by day I kinda feel the need of remember this The one real shitcoin is FIAT. Bitcoin is the alternative, decentralization is the alternative, western capitalism is going to end sooner or later.... and if you are wondering why:  |

I got the impression about you that you only do what you go to restaurants, eat there and drink. And also have fun. I would have liked it too. see you drinking your part as well friend.... and keep yourself in BTC, and whitin a foreseeable future you will be doing much more than eating and drinking alone.... also poker is a little of "trying too make money-BTC" last two session where OK .... up a bit but we always payout @END OF THE MONTH, so anything can still happen, BUT if i end up this MONTHs session good , than i make a fun creatif list (if someone reminds me this end of the month)  |
