Topic: -- The Riddle of the Twin Brothers - Who Were, Are and Will Rule the World! - page 233. (Read 383560 times)

I'm not a techie but it's not that simple from a geopolitical standpoint which is what money is all about.  Gavin and Hearn (and their bankers) have tried for over 6 months and they have even dropped it from 20MB to 2MB and still no success.

You're right that once a majority or super majority actually upgrade then it's a done deal but that's the problem, China won't allow it and now you have serious opposition from Core (and their new massive backers) .  That's a stalemate if not a Checkmate for any scaling possibilities for Bitcoin.

That is a fatal flaw cause Bitcoin will never be used as a daily currency so then, the currency which everyone starts using on a daily basis, that currency will eventually gain critical mass and global adoption which will automatically kill off every other currency, including Bitcoin. 

But Bitcoin is still prepped and ready to do a massive Global wealth transfer [tens of trillions of $$$]; and that's key for numerous reasons I've discussed many times.  A few thousand dollars can still make anyone into a millionaire even this late in the game.

But that window of opportunity will soon be closed when the [unworldly] global media hype starts.

They are super-clueless. Once majority of miners switch to whatever fork becomes official one, transactions related to all other forks will never ever be confirmed. Current mining difficulty is so high that other forks would stay frozen forever. But yes, you can borrow BTC from someone before hard-forking and try to trick him into accepting BTC on wrong fork but only a fool will consider perma-unconfirmed transaction as valid one.

Back to speculations, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/phoenixcoin-pxc-an-epic-speculation-1342936 is looking for some serious gamblers!  

This gave me a big hard-on so my ego had to share it.

Forbes - Double Your Money? Looming 'Hard Fork' Uncovers Fatal Bitcoin Flaw

--

The reason this gave me wood is cause back then I hardly knew what a blockchain was and I was being called crazy by all the "smart" techies for hi-jacking a worthless coin, which had no "new" [copy and paste] features.

So now you can start to see how the second part of the riddle will gradually unravel, Bitcoin's fatal flaw will eventually become too much to overcome.

IXCoin BTW, even though it's a Bitcoin twin doesn't have bitcoin's flaws.  And it's a superior payment system. 

Now I just gotta figure out how to master gifs.  lol

...Escalation imminent!

"They'll Return To Their Countries In A Wooden Coffin": Iran, Syria Warn Saudis, Turks Against Ground Troops.

Make no mistake:  This is a World War III level catalyst.

BTW, all of this geopolitics, global civil unrest, and global economic meltdown is relevant to Bitcoin/Crypto and this thread.

I said at the beggning when people were saying I was crazy, that mainstream adoption couldn't happen in a few short years but it would take decades, that there would be manufactured global catalysts and accelerants to force mainstream adoption in a matter of a few years, not decades.

That's exactly what's happening - all of these events are culminating in an imminent eruption of mass global violence and chaos which will neutralize/invalidate [US & European] constitutions and civil liberties [invoking marshall law and mass confiscations] and of course ban cash and literally force everyone into the Blockchain.

But please, don't forget; it's for your protection and for national security so they can catch those pesky terrorists [they brought in].

Just days ago I said the Muslim refugees better watch their raping in the Eastern Bloc. 

Looks like they gone "molested" some Russian women in a Russian club.  Result:  18 "refugees" in the hospital after a Russian style gang bang.  And another 33 in jail.  Take note; zero fear of political correctness out East, brothers. 






"You wanna bring it - bring it, but we bringin' drama!"

Oh...oh...too good to pass up on this jewel.  

Simple reason #1 why banks and governments LOVE [digital] fiat.

Supply & Logistics!

---


Wall Street Journal - Millions of pounds of provisions, stuffed into three-dozen 747 cargo planes, arrived here from countries around the world in recent months to service Venezuela’s crippled economy.
 
But instead of food and medicine, the planes carried another resource that often runs scarce here: bills of Venezuela’s currency, the bolivar.
 
The shipments were part of the import of at least five billion bank notes that President Nicolás Maduro’s administration authorized over the latter half of 2015 as the government boosts the supply of the country’s increasingly worthless currency, according to seven people familiar with the deals.

---

Bahahaaaaa - 36 Boeing 747s full of toilet paper, err, [Venezuelan] Socialist Paradise Banknotes.

Imagine these [prototypical] assholes being able to do this with a simple keystroke, from their laptops and then confiscate [at will] when "needed" from every citizen with another keystroke.  

No, no, we are the first society in history to finally crack the code to angelic governments and have thus elected only angels and saints to power, who would never want that kind of power.  

Planet earth has been hi-jacked by muppets, trolls and the mindless groupthink collective.  Drink!

...You honestly can't make up this level of asinine lies!

In an interview with ZDF television, Maassen [Germany's Spy Chief] said the BfV has “repeatedly seen that terrorists ... have slipped into [Germany] camouflaged or disguised as refugees.”

And that’s not mere speculation. “This is a fact that the security agencies are facing,” he added.

According to comments made to the The Berliner Zeitung newspaper, BfV has received “more than 100” tips that there are ISIS fighters embedded among the 1.1 million refugees who streamed across Germany’s borders last year.

---

Oh, oh, but they're prepared for it.  In fact, they did a dry run for marshall law in France.  I feel so safe now, might as well let another million refugees in.

These world governments have gone full-retard playing with their ISIS toys in our sandbox [of life]. 

Bitcoin - I wanna Sidechain ya for Life!



            - Image for illustration purposes ONLY!


A perfect fit on so many levels; almost like it was preplanned or predestined.  


- Feel the Signal

Who here thinks for one second that insiders don't already know at least a few of the existing alts which will be used as sidechains?   

...Enter 'CryptsyGox'!



Excellent timing!

The Satoshi of sidechains got hit up like Tupac Shakur. 

Blockstream just went Atomic!!!


Sidechains are now a GUARANTEE!!!

Mike Hearn, you [and the bankers] failed miserably!

---

Blockstream has raised $55m in Series A funding to continue its work expanding the bitcoin code base for commercial use.

With the news, Blockstream's total funding rises to $76m over two investment rounds. To date, the company's signature technology has been its sidechains offering, currently in testing, which enables the creation of blockchains that can validate data from, and transfer assets to, other blockchains.

Blockstream’s round was led by venture capital firms AXA Strategic Ventures, the venture capital arm of French multinational insurance firm AXA Group; Digital Garage, the Tokyo-based online payments firm co-founded by Joi Ito; and Hong Kong venture capital firm Horizons Ventures.

Warning:  Lifewallets coming

---

The European Commission (EC) wants to end anonymous trading in virtual currencies in order to help track terror groups's funding.

The EC yesterday published an Action Plan to strengthen the fight against the financing of terrorism (PDF) that says criminals are quick to seek out new ways of moving money that offer lower risk of detection.

---

I said in 2013 they were gonna use the [goto] "terrorist" clause to take control of crypto and eventually force one wallet per person per lifetime.  First they'll get rid of all anonymous exchanges then they'll ban all anonymous wallets. 

But hey, we'll just do like Andreas said numerous times, we just won't obey cause they can't stop crypto.  We'll just use different currencies and decentralized exchanges.  Right?  Bahahaaaaa. 

It's funny how Andreas no longer has nothing to say about these matters. 

Everybody has their price and I'm pretty sure his was some courgette balls sprinkled with goat feta.  Haha, he should have at least asked for a new hair stylist.  lol

Germany just declared war on cash so you can assume that's the entire EU now.

---

Darf man Rechnungen ab 5000 Euro bald nicht mehr bar begleichen? Laut einem Zeitungsbericht will die Bundesregierung so Geldwäsche und Terror bekämpfen. Juweliere und Möbelhändler sind dagegen.

---

Right, I don't hablo German but that says something about limiting cash payments to 5,000€.  Higher than France but you can't shock the sheep all at once, you gotta ease them in.

Paper fiat is dead long live digital fiat. 

Straight from the Fed - "hypothetical" [stress test] situation of course and how the Fed would react with NEGATIVE rates.

Severely Adverse Scenario

The severely adverse scenario is characterized by a severe global recession, accompanied by a period of heightened corporate financial stress and negative yields for short-term U.S. Treasury securities. It is important to note that this is a hypothetical scenario designed to assess the strength of banking organizations and their resilience to unfavorable economic conditions. This scenario does not represent a forecast of the Federal Reserve.

In this scenario, the level of U.S. real GDP begins to decline in the first quarter of 2016 and reaches a trough in the first quarter of 2017 that is 6 1⁄4 percent below the pre-recession peak (see Table 3A). The unemployment rate increases by 5 percentage points, to 10 percent, by the middle of 2017 and headline consumer price inflation rises from about 1⁄4 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter of 2016 to about 11⁄4 percent at an annual rate by the end of the recession.

Asset prices drop sharply in the scenario, consistent with the developments described above. Equity prices fall approximately 50 percent through the end of 2016, accompanied by a surge in equity market volatility, which approaches the levels attained in 2008. House prices and commercial real estate prices also experience considerable declines, with house prices dropping 25 percent through the third quarter of 2018 and commercial real estate prices falling 30 percent through the second quarter of 2018. Corporate financial conditions are stressed severely, reflecting mounting credit losses, heightened investor risk aver- sion, and strained market liquidity conditions; the spread between yields on investment grade corporate bonds and yields on long-term Treasury securities increases to 5 3⁄4 percent by the end of 2016.

As a result of the severe decline in real activity and subdued inflation, short-term Treasury rates fall to  negative 1⁄2 percent by mid-2016 and remain at that level through the end of the scenario. For the purposes of this scenario, it is assumed that the adjustment to negative short-term interest rates proceeds with no additional financial market disruptions. The 10-year Treasury yield drops to about 1⁄4 percent in the first quarter of 2016, rising gradually thereafter to reach about 3⁄4 percent by the end of the recession in early 2017 and about 13⁄4 percent by the first quarter of 2019.

I personally think it's gonna be worse than this scenario.  The Fed doesn't prepare for this kind of disaster just for kicks. 


-  Feel the Signal

Hahaha, dude you kill me.

I always appreciate a spontaneous laugh!  

Much appreciated!!!  lol


Edit:  Just got your riddle.   

Shh Shh... Softly as if I played piano in the dark
Found a way to channel my anger not to embark

The world's a stage and everybody's got to play their part
God works in mysterious ways so when he starts

the job of speaking through us we be so sincere with this here
No drugs or alcohol so I can get the signal clear as day

Put my glock away I got a stronger weapon
that never runs out of ammunition so I'm ready for war okay

I've worked hard to never post my personal beliefs on this thread for good reasons.

But it seems some people think I'm down with a dystopian authoritarian future where the masses are slaughtered and enslaved cattle.

So I'll make this one exception:

I have an advantage in seeing these things cause I was born and raised in a true police state.  The Eastern Bloc was hardline communist, the hardest most dangerous of all the communist regimes at the time.

And I know you won't believe this (lol) but my dad was pretty crazy, he decided to be different, to fight them even if it meant his life.  He did crazy things like picket the communist party along with my mom and 6 kids.  This was unheard of.  I knew people who were murdered or thrown into a labor/torture camp for simply owning a bible or for complaining about the dictator.  There was a zero tolerance and 70% of the population was a snitch, nobody got away.

So needless to say, our family was heavily persecuted.  We were kidnapped in broad daylight twice, once my mom and my 8 yr old brother were beaten infront of us [in full view of an uncaring public] for resisting, while my mom was holding my 1 yr old brother in her arms the entire time.  For decades I had a horrible recurring nightmare I've never told anyone about where I watch that particular brother getting brutally beat and killed while I'm never able to help no matter how hard I try, always bound or behind a fence I cannot scale, screaming and shouting for help, but help never comes and I never reach my brother.

The communists tried starving us and every other method and when all else failed [for some unknown reason] they decided to kick us out and blacklisted us for life.  My mom was 80 pounds and my dad 118 when we got here.   

That's how we earned our way to America, coming here with just our clothes, [and our beliefs].

Clearly there is some genetic predisposition from my dad for this type of insane behavior that refuses to back down when some unshakable belief is present.  lol

My dad lost good friends there who died trying to get out. 

There's a lot more about me but I don't wanna ruin the [surprise] ending of this riddle. 

So I know better than most what real oppression is and I tell you this, having seen it first hand and knowing how people live in selfish fear like animals, barely living as they betray each other for a loaf of bread, I gladly choose the freedom of death over the hell that I know will follow, for the coming police state will be more brutal, deadly and oppressive than anything the world has ever seen.

That said, people, the masses, mindless sheep have brought us here, the same ones that will vote for our oppressors so I will take joy and pleasure in laughing my ass off as they unknowingly and blindly eat what's coming.  These are the cattle which have destroyed every great society. 

Trust me, I earned this cookie, I'm gonna eat it and love every second of it. 


I hope that clears the air...so that you can all, truly:


- Feel the Signal! 

Soon the entire planet, every inch, will be under an ironclad global surveillance blanket, err, free wifi, I mean.  

This is only 2-4 years away [hey, just in time for Bitcoin going global] and should resolve even the 'stupidity of Americans'.

Moscow (Sputnik] Sept 22, 2015 - No matter how ubiquitous the web may seem to anyone reading this article right now, there is still a shockingly high portion of the global population which doesn't have access. Roughly 3.8 billion people live in areas too remote to be wired to the worldwide infrastructure.

But earlier this month, SpaceX filed a request with the US Federal Communications Commission for permission to encircle the planet with telecom satellites capable of beaming the Internet to anywhere on Earth.

The technology for satellite Internet has existed for a while, but has suffered practical setbacks. The distance at which most satellites orbit isn't exactly conducive to reliable service. Placing satellites in low Earth orbit - as SpaceX plans to do - allows for better connections, but decreases range.

Google - which has now invested in SpaceX's efforts - announced a similar plan in 2014, and estimated it would need 180 satellites in order to span the whole planet. But Musk has an even grander strategy. SpaceX's plan calls for 4,000 satellites to remain in orbit.

How much is all of that going to cost? The company hasn't officially released any estimates yet, but Google said it would set aside over $1 billion. In January, Musk told Businessweek that he expected the system to reach at $10 billion.

This is happening [and sooner than anyone realizes].  There is a human "chipping" clause in President Obama's Obamacare bill; the FDA has approved already ["Digital Angel's" *cough* 'angel of light'] RFID chip for human implants and as for POS/cell/signal coverage, check out m-pesa, no problems in the worst coverage on earth, Africa.

So join me in a good session of mockery filled laughter, and enjoy the end of society as we know it, before our oppressors take that [and our voices] away.

I thought it was obvious but a lot of the stuff I post here is satire.  I thought my many hahaha's gave it away.

If one cannot change hellish imminent global events then one can at least laugh at them [and the sheer stupidity of the muppets and the wolves they elected to power that caused it all].

Hahahaha.  I can hardly use the Facebook thingie.

I won't be getting chipped so no boot licking for me.  Just wanna watch everyone else do it.  lol

Oh man, that laid me out with laughter cause it's so true.
