It may be because of this:

Mimblewimble has privacy features, but it also has the first really impressive, true scaling solution in crypto. Privacy-wise, Monero is probably better overall, but its scaling is abysmal, and neither coin can be treated as an impenetrable black box.

It's weird. It seems many of the old school bitcoiners who didn't pile on Monero are now piling on Grin.

The name 'Grin' is apropos: It's the look on the whale scammer's faces when they pump and dump another shitcoin to the moon and back, leaving thousands of bag holding n00bs crying on the floor.

A historic perspective on the last sharp bottom and a flat afterwards (circa 2015).

2. A couple of months later some people were already predicting better things (32K, not 20K, but it is close; JJG agreed, BTW):

I remember my prediction back then for ATH was like $7k. Far from $20k that happened latter on. 2015 was murky crappy times. I stopped accumulating towards the end of year. But it would be silly now to be sorry for that. You cant do just everything right.

so we just have to grin and bear it.

Grin seems to complicated. Exchanging files, both sender and receiver having to be online and actively do something, etc. This does not seem like a winner to me at first sight. Very interesting but also very complex.

Too bad they launched with only Linux mining software. The need for high level GPUs  for GPU mining with more than 4GB also makes this a rich Western World man’s game for now.

But any intellectual endeavour is good. That we may learn a lot from this project.

i'm a simple man, when i see scaling solution, i jump

that and to be able to buy shady accounts on various shady internet places

strictly true, but the windows miner followed pretty quickly https://github.com/mozkomor/GrinGoldMiner/releases
works fine

Satoshi(2)?

If it's true, it could be good for Bitcoin.

Mimblewimble is a protocol that was put forward by an "anonymous user in a Bitcoin developers chatroom" by the name of Tom Elvis Jedusor (the French name of fictional Harry Potter character, Voldemort). Mimblewimble itself is the name of a spell used to tongue-tie victims in Harry Potter. Jedusor left a link to a whitepaper in which he outlines that by using the Mimblewimble protocol, the scalability, as well as the privacy of the Bitcoin network, could significantly be enhanced.

You can now buy BTC at Coinstar kiosks in California, Texas and Washington.

What's the general consensus on Grin? Are we buying it or Is theymos trolling us again with another shitcoin? (remember howey) No address, no coins, sounds weird af. I don't know what to think about it.

Massive bidwall at 0.00193096 on Hotbit. Whales accumulating no doubt to dump on us.

[JimboToronto]

According to the inevitability chart approximately soon
I envy you being in mexico.its 3°c here in uk

Just hold and accumulate for a few more years and you can do it too.

It's actually really cheap. Once you've bought a cheap place, you don't need to pay for accommodations. The main expenses are air travel and land transit. There are no property taxes.

Soon?

Soon takes a lot longer here in Mexico.

Everone's got lots of time. It's money that's scarce.

I just replied on that thread. Grin is limited to 10 TPS, which is abysmal, and not much of a "true scaling solution".
It reduces blockchain bloat though.

Have you watched this? Its an interesting Bitcoin documentary

When a picture tells a story just as well as, if not better than, a lot of written words.
Jay can't do anything about that.

Lawl, and it's thursday so u know JJG.

Exchange Security :

Complete and utter bullshit.

[rebal15]

From current prices what crypto do you think will 10x first, Ethereum or Bitcoin?

Both ETH and BTC will not make 10X so forget 10X and get into seeing bitcoin being used as a means of payments worldwide, this should be our main objective

If Bitcoin is used for payments worldwide it will more than 10x.

I think it is a new asset in that as it is being established as a SoV at the same time as it's capabilities of a MoE are being bootstrapped.  I think most money has had to really become the first one before it could be the second, and I think Bitcoin is going to overlap more than that.

But then, I am a fairly strong proponent of scaling in layers.

Btc is worldwide, check on google with "Bitcoin site:countery-suffix", you will find at least 1 website selling btc on each countery. Some people use BTC to buy giftcard, popup VCC...etc. people do not need to exchange their local currency to dollar and open bank account to transfert money. BTC has made anything worldwide.
