Anyone holding eth should feel lucky for maintaining a value equal to or above $7 usd. Honestly, I can't see a world where eth maintains that value, sadly.

Does anyone have a print screen of BitcoinEXpress promising to kill monero? I tried to find it but he deleted all his bullshit...

I do think that Monero is probably the best altcoin right now, since it actually does something major that Bitcoin doesn't, even if its scaling is terrible and it'll probably be replaced by a Bitcoin sidechain someday. Achieving Monero-style anonymity for everyone should be a long-term goal of Bitcoin.

I personally think the interesting story here is how he moved all that dinero through Coinbase without so much as wrinkle forming on Brian Armstrong's penis-shaped head.

Medium of Exchange. Wikipedia says a medium of exchange must possess the following attributes to be widely accepted and stable as a medium of exchange:

    Value common assets
    Common and accessible
    Constant utility
    Low cost of preservation
    Transportability
    Divisibility
    High market value in relation to volume and weight
    Recognizability
    Resistance to counterfeiting

Bitcoin clearly fails in a couple of these areas (common and accessible, low cost of preservation, recognizability), but astoundingly exceeds in others (counterfeiting resistance, divisibility, transportability). Many of these failures at the moment will get much better over time. Technology always starts out inaccessible and expensive to maintain and manage. Costs go down over time and the same will happen for Bitcoin although mining sure puts a wrinkle in that equation. Many people focus on one part of the “medium” of exchange though, which the fart-smelling pundits from Bitcoin Uncensored constantly repeat, is just a message passing system and nothing spectacularly innovative or interesting.

Yeah.. look at Monero = 25 cents roughly i heard then Scammy ICO ETH "fuel tokens" $18 ?

WOW you people are fucked in the head.. how the fuck did that happen ?

Just woke up to this How many hours have I lost? Oh, well.  Time to git pull and launch it again.

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.”
 
Come on Spoetnik,
You can come up with a lot bigger range of possibilities than that!

Popsicle and you speak the same truth:

felipelalli: mircea_popescu: why they are so distance from the reality? They continue to buy this shit.
mircea_popescu: who "they" ?
felipelalli: ethereum community
mircea_popescu: think for a moment how a shitshow like poloniex works. you make 1mn scamtokens out of thin air. you send them to a "margined" "exchange" website. you use the "margin" 1mn scamtokens provide to... buy 1mn more! now you have enough "marginable assets" ie scamtokens to... buy 1mn more! and if the price goes up... 1mn more!
mircea_popescu: soon enough you're sitting on an account that is still worth the 0 it was worth to begin with, except that has also bought 10x to 100x of the same scamtokens. so... "they are buying" ? yeah, sure. and paying with what ?
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: true.
mircea_popescu: with any luck someone actually sends actual bitcoin to either "buy" the stuff to "mommentum trade" or else you know "short it". either way it's a win - your 0 value scamcoin attracted some actual money!
felipelalli: and a "premined" coin (dev coins) is easy to inflate the final marketcap: I just create 1`000`000`000`000`000`000 coins and sell to my mum at $ 0.01
felipelalli: the same as Ripple
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: what time is it in Argentina?? It's late, isn't? Here is 5 AM.
mircea_popescu: same.
felipelalli: are you waking up or haven't you sleep yet? lol
BingoBoingo: He's just back from enjoying the vibrant local nightlife
mircea_popescu: i'm on the tail end of an orgy.

the withdrawal won't resume any moment. yobit is shutting down and you just say good bye to your coins. They are losing the battle when WAVES didn't gave them any nodes.

All we (the developers) know is we aren't pushing new inventions (ZeroLedger, etc) to Github @ 10 cents just bug fixes and features. If 20 cents comes we will push some of it. So by suppressing the price you are preventing new technology releases.
