ENTP

I participated in the INTP forum for a couple of days once. Pure autism .

Perhaps you were looking too hard for someone to reach a final conclusion. Not going to happen with an INTP. Actually, we INTPs are the most logical type. Unfortunately, our premise is liable to change when we gather more data.

I just re-took the test and it said INTP instead of INTJ as I had previously thought.

I was always bothered by the descriptions that said I was very organized and stuck to a plan. Perhaps when I took it I was thinking about money. But no, I'm never on time for anything.

Either way. I like to sit alone and stay inside and enjoy the world I create inside my head.

I have taken the test many times over the years. Sometimes, when I am particularly moody, I come off as an INFP. Sometimes, I'm in a more decisive mood and lean more toward an INTJ. The only two traits for me that are a constant are I and N.

I wonder how long my 21k page post will stay on page 21k.

It is hardly even a round enough number to matter....

My speculation is that probably 25k and 30k will be more significant.

Taking bitcoin mainstream

Definition of a bear market:  stupendously good news doesn’t move the needle.

Meh, more future derivatives? More excuses for whales to short this shit to the ground. 

I agree with Hairy on this (as is often the case). This is a derivative backed by real btc reserves - maybe that's why it has such a short expiry (daily). I guess it will have optional automatic rollover.

Starbucks, Microsoft and others backing the project won't win any popularity with older bitcoiners, such as the people participating in this discussion, but they could do much for those who know little or nothing about cryptocurrencies. Adoption can only increase.

And once the cat is out of the bag, it won't take long for some of the smarter ones to wise up and understand the simple concept "private keys in my own hands or it's not my own money". Which in turn will debunk the greasy talk about "necessary trust" spread by some of those weasels.

It's all for the best.

You do realize that 21 has a very special meaning for bitcoiners, right?  However, it may take us a while to reach 21 million pages.

Good grief. What soccer mom wanting to score a chai latte with two shots of vanilla is going to give a shit about cryptocurrencies? Furthermore, is Microsoft going to notice that I am running my Electrum wallet and start giving me notices to start using their shit wallet?

This is kind of a bigger deal than it might initially seem.

Now why can't bitcoin be more like Huckabee and layeth the smack down on the bears like she did to CNN's Jim Acosta (that little scummy turd) and just break out to $9k cause it's August already.

You are always on the pessimist (realist?) side, Bones!

Not all soccer moms are that dumb. Let some of them have their "starbucks bucks" hindered from movement once, and some of them at least will see - and spread the word. When it's about our own money, I think it's much easier to spend the necessary mental energy to make ourselves more educated. I trust human nature about this at least.

As for Microsoft pushing you to leave Electrum for Microsoft SafeLocker, it's an unavoidable part of the deal, but relatively harmless in my opinion. It could even force Microsoft to provide better software to face competition. As a parallel, consider Internet Explorer: it had an easy game at the start, with all the apes adopting it out of sheer ignorance, but it was eventually pushed into irrelevance by the likes of Mozilla and Google, to the point where they recently had to rebrand it with a new name - while improving it at least a little along the way.

I remain optimistic about this issue, if it actually goes on without breaking.
