Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Ibian]

I seem to be getting discredited & trolled by a couple of the least respected (with the worst trust scores) people on the entire forum.

There’s a thread about me started by one of cryptohunter’s alts & every time somebody posts something positive about me he deletes it (it’s a self moderated thread).

I’ve had no choice but to start my own Reputation thread. Please feel free to leave your comments/experiences with me here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147811.new#new

Thanks for your time

Or you could just ignore it.

Insightful.

There was a time when Trust on this here board was a rating established by counterparties who had engaged in deals with the subject, indicating whether or not said deals were satisfactorily concluded. In this manner, Trust was a relative indicator if engaging in a future deal with said subject would likely result in being defrauded.

These days, it seems the Trust system ain't nothing but a popularity contest. Absolutely useless for its stated purpose. The sooner theymos decides to abolish it, the better.

In the meantime, knock yourself out chasing that elusive meaningless glitter.

Any organization that is not specifically right wing will, over time, drift towards the left. The trust system as it stands today appears to me to be indicative of nothing useful at all. This person that LFC_Bitcoin is talking about, whoever it is, appears to be a troll. Trolls want attention. Any kind of attention, doesn't matter. So, don't give it what it wants. That is the only way to fight it.

The life of an OG coiner.

I dunno. Why is he sitting there next to a clothed woman instead of being the recipient of, uh, that picture a little while ago?

^Horror Movie Daycare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WTkJHHF4B4 A sketch, not a whole movie or anything.

I found it because I stalk theymos' posts when I remember.

I can’t believe I just suggested a flat bed recipe to Theymos.
LOL!

Bet you can't eat a whole one.

I eat it in the morning with cappuccino.



I eat it during the day:



I am a pro at focaccia, my true love second only to Bitcoin.

Something that I did not know before: apparently, Laslo Hanyecz (the man who bought pizza for 10000 btc in 2010) is ALSO the man behind the first GPU-mining algorithm (in May 2010), which he released in the open (instead of mining with GPU for himself first). I wasn't around then, so I don't know how much each GPU was outperforming CPUs (maybe 10-fold), but with GPU, you can run them in parallel, so people run 6-8 GPUs on one CPU, greatly increasing computation. Man had mined at least 100K BTC.

Everyone should be entitled to their opinion, granted, and here is mine: he/she draws two lines with btc spending 90-95% of time in between, but, somehow, in projection, btc is mostly hanging out outside of the lines.
Why is that?

[Lambie Slayer]

so what will the next big FUD be? they seem to be out of ammo these days.

the next FUD is a state actor being rumored to throw support behind ... (some freakish alt).

So was it aliens buying up all the coins? Institutions coming from another planet. Intergalactic bonuses?

China legalises holding Bitcoin - ICO's still illegal.

I wasn't aware of that, either... There's a term for mocking someone that was involved in Bitcoin early on, but never became rich out of it: bitshaming.

I do believe these guys have received generous donations in BTC from several lucky whales who became aware of their stories. IIRC, Andreas Antonopoulos has received donations of more than 100 BTC.

And rightly so. We all owe these guys. These are the pioneers that pushed the Bitcoin movement to the masses, while often ending up poor (or not as rich as they could have been). If I was a whale I would surely send some coins to them.
