Can't wait

Absolutely.  They know the ETF is coming and they know Bitcoin is going mainstream so they just wanna make sure they're in total control.

It's just funny to see so many "experts" still lying about Bitcoin being decentralized and trustless.  lol


We should hit $10,000 within 3-6 months after the ETF is announced which should happen in the next 30-60 days.  At the very least, second market's BIT should be approved but I think the real deal, COIN, should also go green this year.

Could be, but it could work out well. They wouldn't throw millions of dollars into development if they had no plans to pump up the price and get to the ROI point faster

I don't know enough about the cost and supply of ASICS so you may be right.

But when I look at what appears to be small-time operations getting 51% or close to it, in well under 12 months, I have to wonder who those anonymous pool owners might be.

I know for a fact banks got hardware quotes from ASICS manufacturers (BFL was one of them) about 1 year ago.

So if that happened 12 months ago then it's right around the time when some anonymous pools started getting huge.

My point is that it would be incredibly noticable, not impossible. I might have worded it funny

I agree it is nowhere near anonymous and I believe educated people are starting to realize that

However, I think you vastly underestimate the amount of hardware that would need to be produced. Possible? Certainly, but highly unlikely. You would see the price of everything computer related go up. It's not a matter of manpower, but of actual resources needed to produce it

Look at CEX.io, they gained 51% in 6 months from inception [and now sit on the IXC board].  Discus Fish, another anonymous pool, is now bigger than CEX.io and they started about 6 months ago.

Imagine if you had billions of dollars - you really think they couldn't get 51% and store it in 2 or 3 different pools so nobody would know and then destroy Bitcoin if they wanted to?

There is massive hash power to be bought - Cointerra, Bitmain and others have huge miners for sale everyday now, in stock.  For rich powerful banks, corporations or governments it wouldn't even be a challenge to gain 51%.

And what would keep them from doing their own in-house chips so nobody would suspect anything?  If butterfly labs and other Mickey Mouse operators can ship a new chip in under 12 months then I'm certain they can do even better in half the time.

There is no chance they haven't done this - even if it's only to mine some BTC as a hedge.  I would wager a lot on the banks, governments and corporations owning massive anonymous pools like Discus Fish.  It's pocket change for them - a simple $500 million currency hedge against Bitcoin and cryptos until they execute their plan to take the whole thing over [if they haven't already].

That said, there is no such thing as an anonymous, decentralized, trustless payment system.

The entire concept of what Bitcoin is supposed to be is an absolute blatant lie and it's shocking to me how the entire planet eats it up [thanks to experts like clueless Andreas Antonopolous].

As in hashing chips. Sure they could put old stuff on but to successfully gain 51% (essentially solo) would be a MASSIVE hit to a lot of markets, not to mention the attention it would bring

Chips like microchips?

You mean like the kind from VeriChip?  If so that won't be an issue.  VeriChip has already been approved for human implants by the FDA and already have the scalability for multi billion chip manufacturing output and of course the logistics that comes with tracking 7 billion dumb animals.

Well, 7 billion minus 1 cause I'm a smart animal. lol

Cash isn't the obstacle for large corporations. Available chips is more of an obstacle

Another Shocker:


@Bit_John: Bitstamp: Unverified Bitcoin Accounts at Risk of Government Seizure http://t.co/ELl6PUuo9L via @coindesk

In 28 days Bitstamp is gonna shut down unverified accounts and possibly hand over all the info and Bitcoins to the govt.

Exactly the road map I pointed to last year.  That Bitcoin has ZERO anonymity and zero decentralization and people will be forced to identify their wallets and people will most likely get 1 wallet for life:  Life Wallet.

So where are all the idiots like Andreas and Roger Ver who swore this kind of thing could never and would never happen to Bitcoin.

Silent like the lying cowards they are cause by now they even realize the true purpose of the Bitcoin protocol and they have too much to lose by speaking out.

Like I've said many times:  Cash was the last [anonymous] bastion of freedom we [the serfs] had, and ironically, the masses are cheering the death of their own cash [freedom].

I too got into Bitcoin very late.  After it hit $266.  And that too was a big reason I searched for Bitcoin 2.0 - that and Bitcoin didn't have the look and feel of a global currency [on any level].

But now I look around and see that way less than 1% are in Bitcoin, even now, so now I realize that I was an early(ish) adopter and that Bitcoin [and cryptos] are about to have their biggest BOOM ever.

As late as I am in the game I think I got into bitcoin towards the end of the early adoption phase. I'd still consider it fairly early only because there's still only a small majority of the world and people using bitcoin, though that should change soon. I'd say we are heading to the middle (if we aren't already there) with the recent acceptances of bitcoin in the mainstream world and the upcoming etf that will skyrocket the price which will make it too late for anyone that hasn't put their foot in the crypto world to acquire cheap bitcoin.

I agree. That's what led me to ixcoin even though I was quite late to the party figuring out how to acquire bitcoin, exchanges, trading, and the like. I knew i didn't and wouldn't have the resources to acquire a sizable amount of bitcoin for the next boom so the next best thing would be to get into alt coins before another boost in price. This led me to acquiring some ixcoin on the "off chance" that something were to go wrong and bitcoin were to completely plummet, I figured a coin similar or in this case a complete clone of bitcoin, would be worth having some of.

If I were them I would be accumulating large percentages in various alts to test out and to control just in case the need arises.

Including Bitcoin.

These banks pay out a $10 billion fine like it's a parking ticket yet idiots like Andreas Antonopoulos think it's impossible for them or the government to ever control Bitcoin.

lol.  Does anyone know who controls the newer massive anonymous [unknown] mining pools which have sprung up recently?  JP Morgan et al could have built out such pools with pocket change in a mere 6 months.

CEX.io owned 51% of the entire Bitcoin network 6 months after inception - and only 3 months after Andreas Antonopoulos said [publicly] it could NEVER be done.  haha.

JP Morgan could easily back an unbreakable alt-coin and then do a 51% attack on Bitcoin which would cripple Bitcoin forever and cause people to run to that other [safer] coin. 

Entire nations are taken over by banks and governments; it is foolish and stupid to think they can't topple Bitcoin if that's their goal.

The key is to predict their next move. 

What would you do?

Would be great if they were among those hidden phantoms you were talking about that have been accumulating.

Interesting recent quote by JP Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon.


Bitcoin developers “are going to try and eat our lunch,” Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase said, as reported by Institutional Investor. “And that’s fine. That’s called competition, and we’ll be competing.”

So how do you compete with a new technology/payment system?

You create your own.  Or better yet, adopt an already existing, matured coin which is just like your enemy only better.

And iXcoin is just like Bitcoin; only better on every level.

Fun with numbers:



iXcoin ---->  eyeXcoin ---->  eye600Coin

Which can be read as:  eye evil coin or evil-eye coin.



And the symbol:  XIC

XiC ---->  600iC ---->  600eyeC ---->  600EyeSee

EvilEyeSee - which can be read as:  The evil eye that sees or the all seeing eye.


Why can't I find this stupid shit in Bitcoin?  Trust me, I've looked [long and hard]!  lol...haha!

As entertaining as all this is, I thought I'd click on a random page from this thread and pick out a few of your older prophecies.So that's happening in less than 2 months now, right? Multiple nation states making that big ol' change from fiat over to crypto? Riiight.

Well, that sure as shit didn't happen.

Still waiting on those $10,000 bitcoins. From earlier this year.

To be clear, these are all quotes from one page picked at random. Three separate predictions that are complete, demonstrable nonsense. So instead of pointing out the predictions you "got right" (the ebola one is a bit of a stretch if we're being serious, and bravo for predicting that a coin might fluctuate upwards in value and being right for once), how about owning up to the hundreds that you didn't?

Edit: here's another corkerHow much later should we expect this? November? Christmas, maybe?

Seriously?

A few weeks ago I said doge was ran by a hedge fund and it was gonna go mainstream.  3 days later cheapair added doge and the price quadruples.  Another 2 weeks later and PayPal also added doge.

That's impeccable timing.

Now this article about getting rid of cash due to Ebola comes out less than 24 hours after I say they're gonna use Ebola as a scare tactic to get rid of cash.

Once again, impeccable timing.
