(How'd I do?? I've been working on my JJG impersonation)
Not bad. Now that I think about it, I recall the chronology of the events being something like; 1) Me making snarky response to JJG being "wordy-man" with his posting style 2) JJG doesn't take it too well and makes some veiled and limp-wristed homophobic rebuttal 3) I don't take kindly to those types of ignorant folk 4) Ignored 5) Wanted to punch the guy in the fucking face ever since Well thats just Gay. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Wait, this is even gayer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

4 main metrics to look at imo: Ethnicity (white of whatever variety), language (something civilized (english)), culture (NO WELFARE), and taxation on bitcoin.
Looking into it myself, but at the end of the day the only way to know for sure if a given country works is to go there and live for a while.
As a US citizen, my only real options to reduce Bitcoin tax burden would be to ditch my citizenship or move to Puerto Rico. However, as jbreher mentioned, now would be the time to move to PR, while we're in the depths of a bear market. I'd like to move out of the US, at least temporarily, just for the experience. But I have a baby now, which complicated things further. Bring your anchor baby with you. That's what the anchor fucking means. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) What? Babies go where the parents go. Yes. But at least 'round these parts, the term anchor baby refers to a kid born to an illegal alien upon US soil. Such an event entitles the baby to automatic US Citizenship status. This provides a tie for the rest of the family to argue for US legal resident status. Thereby, 'anchor'. Such a term is clearly inapplicable to infofront's current situation with an already-born child. Nevermind the fact that it seems likely infofront is already US-ian. This. I doubt that Ibian is unaware of the USA political usage of the term "anchor baby," and likely, he purposefully used the term in different way, perhaps in order to cause some definitional distress from various readers, as a kind of joke. And, maybe the joke has become a bit more funny because of jbreher's perception of a necessity to explain the current USA political usage of the term "anchor baby?" Jokes are not so good when explained, but as you may recall, infofront had already said that he could not travel as easily, in part, because of baby, which could imply that said baby is anchoring down infofront's mobility. Literal rather than political definition of an "anchor baby." I better not attempt to explain more because the joke is going to become even less funny, perhaps? ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

He's a fairly well known guy in the bitcoin twittersphere. I think he's basically a bitcoin maximalist. He's just been a little over bearing in his pain forecasts. What about if the r0ach hypothesis of the market is accurate, then is it bearish? That a single entity on Bitfinex has controlled the price all the way from $200 to $20,000 and I'm leaning towards the identity of that entity being Bitmain. If the identity of this entity was Bitmain and Bitmain implodes, bankrupts, or has no money to pump it anymore, then how is bitcoin going to be artificially manipulated to a bazillion dollars each with no Bitmain to rig it there? Stop trying to claim credit for a theory that is shared by a lot of other reddit nutjobs. The bitfinex manipulation theory. Can read a thousand versions of such theory on reddit with such minor variations that they all boil down to nearly the same thing, which, in essence, is pie in the sky making up shit.

Wait, twitter jack jack? Hm. Maybe some of his questionable actions are just a result of being in a tough position.
Why? Jack is a bitcoin maximalist, and considers other coins to be shit/scams. He is the owner of twitter, but also Square. So many of the references that he is making is regarding square, rather than twitter, even though there may be some overlap in the future, too. In other words, his bitcoin maximalist stance seems to be following a similar ideology as the vast plurality of active participants of this thread. No? What's strange about that? Supporting Bitcoin is not questionable at all of course. Twitter's banning of accounts not repeating the left-wing kumbaya propaganda is. Ibian implies that Jack's hand may be tied on that one. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fuproxx.files.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F07%2Ffightclub-jacks-1.gif%3Fw%3D650&t=665&c=MmUPvvPYoDoWqA)

He's a fairly well known guy in the bitcoin twittersphere. I think he's basically a bitcoin maximalist. He's just been a little over bearing in his pain forecasts. What about if the r0ach hypothesis of the market is accurate, then is it bearish? That would be bullish in the medium term. That a single entity on Bitfinex has controlled the price all the way from $200 to $20,000 and I'm leaning towards the identity of that entity being Bitmain. If the identity of this entity was Bitmain and Bitmain implodes, bankrupts, or has no money to pump it anymore, then how is bitcoin going to be artificially manipulated to a bazillion dollars each with no Bitmain to rig it there?
Bitfinex has some influence on the market insofar as their Tether printing goes. They can manage that without Bitmain or anyone else, except maybe some crooked accountants. You're always on about bitfinex controlling the market. They rank #44 in 24 hour volume on coinmarketcap. What am I missing?

I think I have "capitulated".
No, I haven't sold. Any. There's no point for me to do that... not at this price, not at any price. But I am slowly losing hope I will see Bitcoin recovering its previous heights. It's more like I have accepted to ride this thing to hell.
Normally I would consider that feeling to be a great contrarian indicator... so bullish. But when I say I am losing hope I really mean it this time. (I) Never before felt like this.
I am struggling to post this or not. But it wouldn't be honest not to share my feeling just to avoid the (probably justified) critic/flame.
I wish to be wrong though. Would even wish for a pump right after I press the "Post" button.
I have never sold a single Bitcoin (trading doesn't count) but now I am starting to understand why some people finally "break".
Still struggling to post..... but will do it, just don't be too hard on me and my current negative view... maybe it is really even a good thing if there's more people feeling the same... or maybe not. Whateva.
* THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVISE, IT'S JUST ME SHARING SOME THOUGHT/FEELING.... MOST PROBABLY COMPLETELY WRONG... HOPE SO.

Perhaps you should be taking MajorMax's advice. Go away for 6 months, 1 year or perhaps a little longer depending on how much time you need). Especially, if you are merely HODLing and just getting depressed by watching the flatness that perhaps has decently high odds to lead towards more DOWN. Still struggling to post..... but will do it, just don't be too hard on me and my current negative view... maybe it is really even a good thing if there's more people feeling the same... or maybe not. Whateva.
You cannot expect anyone to be nice to you on the interwebs, and could even be the opposite, and maybe that is why going away for a few months or longer could be good. * THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVISE, IT'S JUST ME SHARING SOME THOUGHT/FEELING.... MOST PROBABLY COMPLETELY WRONG... HOPE SO.
Who knows? We are in a bearmarket, and that just means that the odds for down are greater than the odds for up, so still hoping for UP is against the odds.. setting yourself up for disappointment, if you are continuing to put actual feelings into hope for UP.. at least currently..

I don't expect an immenent pump. I suspect Bitcoin is probably going down more. It will be a fantastic buying opportunity. Nothing has changed in the fundamentals. Bitcoin remains a revolutionary technology that allows ownership of wealth and transfer of value without intermediaries. There is no comparison or real alternative out there for those looking for what it offers. The nations of the world continue to debase their currencies at an unprecedented rate. Socialism is rising everywhere and with it increasing wealth confiscation. That will sooner or later turn ever larger numbers of people to Bitcoin It's just a matter of time. Bitcoin simply climbed too high too fast on the wild dreams of those who wanted to get rich quick without working and almost all of the forks and altcoins were worthless from the moment of inception and the market is slowly figuring that out. All that is lost for the moment is the get rich quick vibe. The value investor is and will step in at this and lower prices. Bitcoin's long term potential remains quite compelling.

Nothing has changed in the fundamentals. Bitcoin remains a revolutionary technology
Corncube, stop trolling. Nobody that actually has money wants to convert that money into centralized, valueless, imaginary tokens. Anyone that already has money is going to buy real commodities like physical gold and silver instead. The only people who have any interest in shitcoins are broke people who make believe bitcoin is some type of lottery ticket where you buy one and it's somehow going to make you rich. The problem you face is the bitcoin market cap is already enormous - higher than above ground physical silver - so the whole bullshit "buy this thing because it's a penny stock with big upside!" narrative implodes. Transaction validators are designed to centralize in every shitcoin so they have zero fundamentals. There's no Schelling point. And it's a fake commodity, unlike physical metals, so even if you hoard all 21 million shitcoins, the rest of the planet can completely ignore you and you have zero power at all. The only type of market where artificial scarcity has any power is when the govt prints up their bogus fiats and forces you to use them at gunpoint. Without coercion, anything based on artificial scarcity (FAKE commodities) implode because everyone subconsciously knows make believe items have no value and the invisible hand of the market funnels everyone back to real ones - physical metals.

![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) +1 WOsMerit I will spell it out a little clearer, the bears have their work cut out for them. These areas will most likely become intimately familiar with all of us over the next several months. I think its possible we could meander between the 0.618 and -0.618 fib range for quiet awhile. Deal with it. 4h ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaWLhwh7.jpg&t=665&c=vOEKxa5p0lm69Q) #stronghands'19
