Bitcoin has issues!!!
I've been saying for years Bitcoin had a flaw by design; now here is one of the best core devs saying "Satoshi's design doesn't work".
If Wright is Satoshi and he's coming out next month, expect a massive war.
The best part, for me: All the puppets at /r/BTC are pushing out guys like Luke and Maxwell for being honest. Maybe these core devs will finally see [and answer my calls] that their efforts will yield better fruit at a Bitcoin twin where there is no drama, infighting and a perpetual stalemate in innovation.

I hope Trump is as resilient as Jackson.
In addition to injuries sustained in duels and the bullet lodged in his lungs, by the time Jackson became president he had already gotten smallpox, osteomyelitis, malaria, dysentery, rheumatism, dropsy, "cholera morbus" (widespread intestinal inflammation), amyloidosis (a waxy degeneration of body tissues) and bronchiectasis (inflamed and dilated bronchial tubes), among other diseases. As a historian told TIME in 1949, “No structure ever endured under greater handicaps than the frame that supported the brain of the astonishing, the determined, the invincible gentleman from Tennessee."
Not to mention he also survived assasination attempts - albeit, by fate.
Last year, the Treasury Department announced plans for a new $20 bill that would bump Jackson's portrait for that of Harriet Tubman.
Looks like possibly that script will be
"I's was out fetchin' water when this wild hair stranger man come by and grabbed mes pussy. I threw them buckets fer and started screamin', "Jesus, Jesus, make him stop tos give mes a reach 'round." Then hes disappeared into da woods after Master's goats."

This might be just a coincidence but president Trump just hung a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. Out of all the presidents he chose the one that went to war with the banks and won. This supports my theory that Trump is gonna bypass the Fed and go crypto.
Trump!!!
I think president Trump is gonna pass some huge unexpected laws that will massively accelerate Bitcoin/crypto adoption. And he's gonna do it early in his first term.
The Treasury is a department of the Executive Branch; thus, the President controls it. People think this won't happen since that's what Kennedy tried and he went home early.
But this time it's different. Very different and I think this will be the route to mass adoption - to bypass the fed. There should be a *cough* in there somewhere. I'll let you figure that part out.
This is gonna get really really exciting when it finally happens. ETF then Trump-time.
Unworldly price run, which, BTW, is the real reason the Chinese exchanges just removed the margin leverage.
With all due respect, you have your theory and I have mine:
Then again ...
Then again ...

Quote
The Bank War was the name given to the campaign begun by President Andrew Jackson in 1833 to destroy the Second Bank of the United States, after his reelection convinced him that his opposition to the bank had won national support. The Second Bank had been established in 1816, as a successor to the First Bank of the United States, whose charter had been permitted to expire in 1811.
Re in bold - WTF!

[Coindesk] - Bitcoin is Abuzz With New Satoshi Nakamoto Rumors
Pete Rizzo (@pete_rizzo_) | Published on January 26, 2017 at 15:40 GMT NEWS
If the gossip at a recent invite-only bitcoin conference is any indication, news may be forthcoming in the long-simmering Satoshi Nakamoto saga.
On the sidelines of the two-day Satoshi Roundtable conference in Cancun, rumors were swirling that new developments in the 'Who is Satoshi?' story once again relate to the controversial Australian academic and entrepreneur Craig Wright, who last May claimed that he – and as many as four others – contributed to the white paper credited to bitcoin's pseudonymous inventor.
This time, however, there is said to be a potential twist to the story relating to an unknown entity that may have a claim to the intellectual property created by that group.
Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month.

It was a no-fuckin brainer! All those fuckers have to do is provide definitive proof to theymos that JUST ONE of their accusations is a truism, and my scammy Dumb-ass with all my alts would be banned from this forum. It's not my fault that it's been going on for a year and a half now for them nefarious fucks to get their duckweed-feed ducks in a row so to accomplish such a relatively simply task. Hell, I even provided over 90% (.90% if you went to the same school as Leroy Fodor) of the work for them, yet here I's still are.
Back to Leroy Fodor, that lyin' piece of shit even called the Sandwich, IL, (where I used to live) police department to have them stop having me harassing him. I went to the PD so that they could show me exactly what laws I was violating with my posts about his scammy ass. They couldn't find anything, coupled with him living in the Philippines, the issue became moot, hence still sticking it up his fuckin ass. HAHAHA & Chuckles
So you work at a Sandwich shop? haha, I've had worse, much worse jobs but I'm laughing cause I can see you like that soup Nazi guy, angry while making a meatball sandwich and cursing at scammers on the internets. I'd like a short video of that. lol
As for the Fodor guy, I can't keep up with all these scammers. I'd like to know if Vern dumped all the IXC he stole.

I'm always in need of a good laugh. Had no idea you were terrorizing that Fedor guy for that long, or that you put your account on the line for it. That's resolve.

What is Qtum? I didn't know Xi also meant joy.
And why did the Chinese get to make up whatever names they wanted? Star Xu? Samson. Another guy I saw was named Han Solo or something. How is that fair for the rest of us? I'm stuck with the name of a serial killer with an affinity for impaling Muslims en masse. lol
But for real, China pretty much owns Bitcoin. Besides the coders they can do whatever they please with Bitcoin including 51-ing it.
The rest of us need to build out some 200+MW hyper farms to even things out. Throw a billion my way and I'll make it happen, and I'll even 51 the entire place just to make a statement.

The word for "eight" (八 Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (發 – often paired with "發財" during Chinese New Years, but is used alone or paired with numerous other "compound words" that have a meaning of luck or success, Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, e.g., Cantonese "baat3" and "faat3". The word is also phonetically similar to the word for a hundred (百), alluding to greater wealth. Note as well, this particular symbol matches the mathematical symbol of infinity. While Chinese does have other words for luck, this full understanding of luck that includes the infinity concept marries into a Chinese understanding of this particular word.
There is also a visual resemblance between two digits, "88", and 囍, the "shuāng xĭ" ("double joy"), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 ("xĭ" meaning "joy" or "happiness").
... ... ..
Similar to the common Western practice of using "9" for price points, it is common to see "8" being used in its place to achieve the same psychological effect. So for example menu prices like $58, $88 are frequently seen.

February 2 (New Year day 6)--Some shops, companies, and offices will reopen on this day, because 6 is a lucky number in Chinese culture.

Then on the 8th day, TO MARS!
And we're still holding strong, how's that grab you? China has a lot of influence on bitcoin (I think), but this is a global thing. There's only so far that goes.
I still wonder what the real numbers are as far as how many users/buyers there are geographically. That info doesn't seem to be very available.

Look under the column labeled "Volume". Here's a hint, the two at the top with all the volume, BTC China and OKCoin, are in China.
