FBG’s approach has three pillars: Invest like a venture capitalist in initial coin offerings (ICOs), trade on news and events by moving in and out of tokens rapidly and, critically, exploit insider relationships and marketing hype to ensure profitability. The firm’s rise speaks volumes about the anything-goes world of cryptocurrencies, where the stated ideals of democratization are a joke and being an insider is the surest path to riches.

Despite an already six month cool-off period, for 2018 we see more sideways and downside potential in the Bitcoin price due to sluggish retail demand, hesitation from institutions, and a current market cap that seems too high relative to on-chain activity.

One final attempt at $8,500-9,000 and then back to $6,xxx.

ETHUSD Looking more and more ugly BTW (get out while you can).

Market dominance is about to hit %49 and to me Bitcoin's price is not bad even at this point after dropping from $20k.

Is there anybody who used this new lightning exchange on the testnet? When this thing gets adopted shitcoins will suffer to deth.

Sure people have to make a living, but does anyone really aspire to live like that?  Let's get rich by: 1) watching manipulation, 2) making quick moves because we know there is manipulation and 3) attempting our own no holds bar manipulation(s) (at least as much as we can get away with).

I understand that people do this, and want to live like this, yet personally, I would rather leave that ratt's race approach to others.... and to attempt to live in a more relaxed manner.

 You reminded me of this four and a half minute short story Rat Race - A short film story by Steve Cutts.  It's worth the watch

how many people here understand this unix/linux joke?

I thought it was about the dev driven SW feeding to the miners last year.

Nope.  You know better, and you are trying to reframe history, HV, because if you recall 100% of the miners adopted segwit and changed their signaling towards such adoption in about mid-to-late July 2017.. ... remember?  

It became a lovely transformative scene (and even somewhat surprising) and a fairly rapid transition that was successful each step of the about month-long process that occurred after the signaling had changed towards segwit and through August.  Recall that subsequently, in mid August, there was a locking in and then in late august activation onto the network.  This was accomplished with damned close to 100% of then miner support.. remember?

Maybe they had a change of heart afterwards or whatever, but they could just as well fuck off, or form their own coin or support some other project...

In the mean time we have segwit that has been adopted, and it seems that it would be a hell-of-a difficult process to achieve consensus to unadopt it, so why the fuck are you anti-segwit jihan dick sucking trolls continuing to attempt to get community support against segwit when it seems like  a nearly impossible task?  Why don't you just go support your bcash coin, and conquer the word with that no-segwit and onblock scaling coin?  Oh because no one is using it?  Oh, because you cannot seem to increase any of the networking effects or to steal them from bitcoin?   Pobrecitos.  Feel bad for you........

I'm looking at that sparkswap app thinking...that's how easy it should be...


Meanwhile my German bank just e-mailed me saying for "security reasons" they cannot let me transfer any funds out of the country from my bank account. That I have to come in personally to un-block my account. I live in French Polynesia and have no plans whatsoever of ever returning to Germany.

Meanwhile, in Germany, they consider bitcoin a private currency. Which means that localbitcoins was asked to pay the 250k euro foreign exchange license. To which they said "fuck you" and locked all ads in Germany. So I can't simply transfer my money to some dude locally in Germany for bitcoins.

There is bitcoin.de which is an exchange. But it's p2p, I'd have to hope that I get someone selling that lives in Germany. And I registered there once before and they know I'm a US citizen so I'm blocked.

We just need all fiat to be colored coins on a separate bitcoin lightning network which can be easily swapped in a decentralized market.



When it comes to bank accounts. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

You already posted this information, and I already responded to your bullshit topic.  

You understand that bcash has largely just served as an attack vector on bitcoin, a propaganda machine, and a disinformation machine to attempt to put itself out there as if it were the real bitcoin.

So of course, there is prerogative and discretion for bitcoin core to remove what seems to be purposefully misleading information to defend bitcoin from any of these kinds of attacks.  

Further, the world is not coming to an end because bitcoin core's various attempts at defending against some attacks, especially the bcash one which seems so obvious and irritating while misleading a lot of normal people.
