There goes buy walls @27k on mintpal
Wall remains at 25k
Fucking idiots selling their coins, selling their coins for so little. Im going to convert some fiat into BTC, and buy me some more BC tomorrow
When Coinkite goes live with blackcoin june 1st, the price will go to moon
If that still happens.
Yeah, why would anyone want to get more business as a vendor? Just because BC (even with the recent selloff - which is far, far above the lows of either the past crashes) is in the top 10 for market cap and top 5 for volume... that's meaningless because some particularly vocal members of this one forum - said/did things which others don't agree with. The actual dev team (which IE is not part of - he's simply a BC holder and entrepreneur as are many of us) hasn't changed one bit.
I can't be bothered to read all 300 pages since I last logged in other than to skim but here's something I am constantly dismayed by:
All of the people crying insta-mine and 'whales this' or 'pump-this/dump-this' are often the same ones crying about unfair distribution. Yet they are the same people that buy my coins when the price gets way overbought - only to sell even more of them back to me at times like this. This is exactly why the distribution of any coin will always get
worse as time goes on... just look at the wealth distribution in the US if you doubt this.
If you want a religion, go get it (there are thousands to choose from, some that even predate currency itself as a concept) - but don't look for it here. Crypto-currencies, just like fiat are not about making people happy or helping those that don't help themselves. It's about commerce and greed... pure and simple.
And before you start believing that one or two individuals can kill (or for that matter save) a particular coin... you might want to inform everyone in BTC that it's a worthless property ever since SR and Mt. Gox killed it off completely. Seriously, you should just sell every crypto you own and delete your account. Especially since BTC has dozens of those damned multipools that are killing off whatever coin you're worshiping this week.
For what it's worth (and in interest of full disclosure) I own a large amount of BC - but an even larger amount of WC and a few others... feel free to jump on whatever bandwagon starts up this week... I'll sell those to you and buy back twice as many a week later when you sell at a loss again. But what I won't do is worry about whether or not I'm helping with 'fair distribution' - head to a soup kitchen if you're interested in that (I donate to several).
