Your transitioning over to bitcoin ...

People testing the lightning network are seeing 400TPS easily between two nodes.  

Segwit let that happen.

 I feel you!  I love Rhodesian ridgebacks too!!

Here's a recent interview with a interesting character: https://breakermag.com/john-mcafee-is-73-very-stoned-and-running-for-president/

Stoned people are always entertaining.

I'd love to see him debate the Donald, or the FBI. I really hope he runs for president. Of course he doesn't stand a chance - and he's smart enough to say it aloud and repeatedly, but can you imagine the fun?

Tera admittedly had an INTJ personality, which means she would have neither definite female, nor definite male behavior. Well, closer to male, regardless of actual sex. INTJs are analysts with contrarian approach to everything.

I didn't read all of her older posts, but what I have seen during last half-a-hear, was not really bullish or bearish - just an objective analysis based on reality, without any bias.

I really miss her here, as she was one of the most interesting posters (to me at least), with fresh and independent approach to things. Without a contrarian its too easy for a group/thread to be deluded.
If she reads this (which I strongly doubt) I would ask to come back (if that doesn't make her health issues worse, of course).

Terabera was a she, but in the latest months of her activity, she was trying to act as if she was a he, for some strange reason.  Some peeps here had suggested that her account got bought out, but I don't buy that theory because it seems that her personality and posting style was otherwise the same, except that she began to act as if she were a he instead of a she.

Regarding her disappearance I have two speculations, and I will list them in order of which one I believe to be more compelling.

1) Terabera had a very similar disappearance during the 2015 bear market, and perhaps in that sense, her pay period was done, if you believe that she was a kind of paid shill, or she concluded that she could not be as profitable as a trader when the market devolved into a certain low level of volatility, if you actually believe that she was a trader.

2) in the latest months of her activity, she disclosed that she was experiencing health issues, something like lime disease, so perhaps her health is continuing to suffer and participating in the forum exacerbates her condition.  I don't really believe this second possible explanation is very convincing because any kind of sickness would allow for more internet participation because it would force sedateness, but if a person is forced to earn an income too, then a sickness might cause a person to have to focus more on money earning activities and to remove forum participation based on its distractive nature.

DOOM

LT view: BTC over the past 6mo is like a domino cascade in slow motion: The upward bullish swings are getting flatter. The downward bearish swings are getting steeper. Buyers’ energy is exhausted. Bears are in control/ High probability we test the yearly lows in Oct, and fall.

Actually, these are competing viewpoints described by each of you, goldkingcoiner and Astargath.  Part of the reason why I hestitate to attempt to describe what is probable to happen beyond one leg at a time, because subsequent legs are more difficult to describe both because they depend upon what had caused the earlier leg, if anything beyond pure momentum, and how fast the earlier leg passes through its progression, including degree and duration of built-in corrections.

At this point, I am more inclined towards Astargath's scenario, mostly because it is more conservative, and it is really difficult to get a straight upwards without some profit taking along the way, especially given the fact that our current correction has been largely bouncing between $6k and $10k (of course, we were above $10k for a few weeks, too), however, Astargath's describing panic selling and all that boloney about people must feel compelled to take profits, can be overwhelmed by situations in which the UPWARDs sentiment is overwhelming, and even the fact that some pretty BIG whales can negate the impact of a bunch of regular folk weak hands selling because of their valuing their wealth in dollars, failure to understand bitcoin and lacking confidence in bitcoin.

So, yeah, as soon as I hit "post" for my earlier submission, I was having reservations about my own described scenario that I was considering to be amongst the most probable for a bull-type scenario because there remain many subsequently unknown events or news to change the probabilities and to cause the timeline to move much faster than my earlier momentum anticipations, and in that regard, we should continue to keep in mind that this whole bitcoin market (and even including all altcoins) still includes involvement of quite a bit less than 1% of the world-wide population, so there are an enormous number of decently wealthy folks (or complementary entities in which a small number of individuals control (even sometimes a bit covertly) such as governments, financial institutions, or investment groups) who could move the whole bitcoin market (and perhaps even several alts along the way) all by themselves, if they were to choose.  We cannot rely on some of those kinds of single entity or small group of entities (or signaling from these groups) pumps like that happening, even though those kinds of pumps remains reasonably possible, especially considering the relatively low level of liquidity that can move the price in one direction and then cause momentum that kind of builds upon itself in a way that becomes beyond the control of any of them to stop, until it runs its reasonable (and by definition kind of unreasonable) course.

Whatever is happening ..., after a few days Maybe weeks to see V8 is back must be bullish of Some kind..... 

(Low volatility) * (Low Blood alcohol) == Boring WO thread.

Tomorrow will be better!

OMg I'm in love!

I'm not a fan of segwit, but that's neither here nor there. I'm been one of the most bullish mofos in here for the last couple weeks.

Anyway, maybe I'll go batshit crazy and convert all my BTC into BCH to trigger the next bullrun.
