Some folks want a strong Bitcoin, that can do what VISA can't do - to be a decentralized, trustless, censorship-resistant digital currency, a store of value with its own sovereign monetary policy - with additional functions such as faster payments & smart contracts being layered-on-top future options.

While some other insensibly covetous folks (as should unfortunately be expected from a community filled with too many short-sighted greedy degenerates.. ;3) would prefer a fast Bitcoin, that strives to copy what VISA has already been doing for decades - attempt to be a competitive, mostly centralized payments processing platform.

..Why do you want BTC to be another credit card? What makes you so confident BTC price suddenly pumps to heaven because a majority voted for bigger, bloatier, spammier blocks and fewer, larger, blackhat-DDoS-cartels-enforced mining node farms that government agencies around the globe find much easier than LulzSec member..?

You can focus design towards a strong sovereign-monetary decentralized trustless censorship-resistant digital currency ; Or towards a fast less-decentralized digital currency + non-trustless censorship-vulnerable payments network.

Choose.

seems Wall Street is in complete panic mode now.  

EDIT: thank you xhomerx10 and akhjob for help with abbreviation DCA!

EDIT2: Dow down to roughly 26500 points from roughly 29500 ATH. Donald your comment on that please!

The dream scenario would be 1% of the money being taken out of equities finding it's way to bitcoin. Bonds are at record levels. Gold is a joke to most investors, commodities are falling, most will just hold cash but what if bitcoin starts rising at the same time the stock market crashes? That reverse correlation could make for an epic spike.

I think we saw a decline in the last few days because traders are trying to make it look like bitcoin is correlated to the stock market. I hope they run out of ammo while the stock market keeps declining. Wishful thinking perhaps.

#random Retirement is strange. I'm primarily living off of Bitcoin-funded fiat investments, that pay me out monthly over the next couple decades or so, and I find it highly amusing that I'm using portions of those disbursements to re-buy corn-dip.

Hopefully I can say this is me in 2022!

The fact of the matter is that it was the boomers who voted in socialism in practically the entire world. They deserve to die, and they need to die before we have even the possibility of building something better.

And I'm saying this as someone with old parents. Good parents at that, even. But a few worthwhile people, if they are, do not make up for an entire world run by old people who deliberately make things worse.

If Corona-chan kills most people over 60 and stops unlimited immigration, then it may in the long run turn out to be a good thing. Even better if the world turns on the chinese for releasing it.

Our elders still have a lifetime of valuable experiences to share, I'm not quite ready to give them up.

No they don't. An easy and safe life does not breed wisdom.

I'd wager you have had it 100x easier and safer. I'm not a boomer but I have no desire to see them killed. Everyone of those people you casually and cruelly dismiss has a full lifetime of experience, pain, heartache, joy, and knowledge.

Have some heart and if you can't muster up a basic level of humanity at least think of self preservation. Icygreen has it absolutely correct.

Maybe you should actually talk to some older people sometime instead of living out your bigoted uneducated self-defeating prejudices online. When/if the shit really hits the fan many will be completely unprepared for reality and relying on some aging boomer to show them how to find clean drinking water or repair an engine or a million other skills people learned as a matter of course pre-internet.

You think they had it easy because they spent their lifetimes helping make YOUR life easy. Wishing death on millions because you think they are in your way is juvenile at best and psychopathic at worst.

Ha,ha, You do not know what you say, I hope to see somehow what your generation will do.

Stock Boyz are in some deep shit.

Stocks go down from the virus and Trumps election chances go down. As people realize Bernie gets more likely to be elected they freak out more and sell even more stocks. These two catalysts feed of each other and we get the current stock market meltdown.

King Bitcoin meanwhile just sits on his throne counting the days till halving and letting mom an pop and institutional newbs looking for sanctuary flee into the safety of his kingdom.

i wish

aaah to be young again

WHAT IF, in the near future this was possible.
The only thing would be, as it's crazy expensive - to give all your BTC & start over from scratch.

Would you do it?

*. I think I know the answer, just looking for a mere confirmation.

Greece confirmed today 3 people with Coronavirus and all carnivals canceled as a start....

Maybe, I guess we will see.

The old greeks would likely stab themselves in shame, if they'd know what "democracy" looks like today.

Nah, they knew it was flawed.
More likely to get a response: "I told ya so"

Thanks, the reason is irrelevant, but it will do I guess.
