Why do I have this awful feeling like we're going below $9k again...
I blame Bill Gates.
Asshole.

Why do people pay attention to those old people? Bill gates almost missed the Internet, now he is going to miss blockchain and crypto.
Look at this nobel prize winner, one more genius.

Monero with its opaque blockchain. You don't know who stealth mined in huge quantities and you trust that there isnt an exploit or bug allowing someone to mint any quantity of XMR they like. You don't have a richlist. You can't analyise the blockchain at all, You assume its all good. Yay. Monero. Its name even means something in esperanto. And it has a wallet now
Yes, it's a privacy coin that's actually private, unlike DASH - the Bcash of privacy coins.

In other news, the people of Hawaii just don't fkn get it. When mother nature gets a rollin', she ain't gonna stop until she reaps major havoc first. It doesn't just end in a week or two because humans think it should.

Many years later, I will lie in a grave which locates in somewhere.
By the time I'm ready to shuffle off this mortal coil, I'm hoping BTC will have appreciated in price enough, that I can have my corpse shot into space, to be cremated by flying directly into our Sun.
Hook up with Elon, and he will help you to make it happen, including a likely bit of publicity too.
I'm pretty sure Boblawblaw's got quite a few good years left in him. No need to rush into anything... especially with Musk. He'd surely want a large government grant, some tax incentives as well as a left nut for such a stunt.

Wow, I didn't expect Bitcoins wealth distribution to be that good relative to the other coins. Im not sure if this is too accurate of a number though, many whales have their coins spread out over multiple wallets. But eh, what can you do. Now if only we could get mining more decentralized...

Yep, lacks Masternodes too... Oh noes!
OK, the slow death of Dash must be painful, but the best solution is surely to get out while you still can rather than lash out against another coin for simply being... better?

thanks
thanks
the only way that demented nutcase will be cease endlessly repeating his perpetual nazi anti-jew, silver worshipping drivel in here
is if/when...
1. he eventually dies
2. bitcoin and/or this thread dies or
3. he gets banned .
my bet is on option 1
so unless you ignore ...better get used to it....
A couple of years ago, roach was 14, so probably now he is 16 or 17, so he could likely outlive a large number of us, unless his hate causes him to dry up like a little stepped-on cockroach.. wait?

I have remained a bit skeptical of claims that are made based on the holding of crypto's in addresses to prove top owners (because frequently centralized institutions might hold coins that are really owned by a multitude of peeps). On the other hand, determining level of decentralization seems to be attempting to claim the opposite, yet I am still feel as if I do not have enough information to know whether I trust the arrived at conclusions from such data.

Looking at 1w interval, we had 5 straight green weeks.
So it's possible this week will be rather quiet.
So it's possible this week will be rather quiet.
Who knows?
So far, this week is red, and the BTC price would have to close above about $9,630 in order to be green... So that will be interesting to see what happens? Tentatively, I am thinking that the odds of this week's candle closing red would be a bit stronger than the odds of it closing green, but surely in bitcoin, we cannot be too steadfast in our expectations..... and the seeming decently large level of bearish technical sentiment that could end up getting a bit of rekt.

Governments are not the people. Nation states are horrible. Stalin could never have existed in a municipality.
Jay, stop trolling.
I think everybody is on drugs tonight. Is it?
Jay, stop trolling.
I think everybody is on drugs tonight. Is it?
Not everyone needs drugs to reach that level, even smarter to realise its near disaster for some to partake in those additives when they are already 100% proof. Alot of creative types go down a horrible road when they fail to understand this about themselves I always think its a waste.
Regarding, why many of us are into bitcoin, that is likely going to vary too... I understand that bitcoin has a lot of libertarian origins, but that mere fact does not mean that everyone subscribes to the seemingly vacuous anti-government views of that many libertarians seem to spout out in criticizing the current system. Sure, there are problems with the current system, but merely getting rid of government does not seem like it is going to solve as many problems as it causes.
Furthermore, we might not even need to bring politics in the discussion at all in order to see benefits in bitcoin
Furthermore, we might not even need to bring politics in the discussion at all in order to see benefits in bitcoin
Politics dominates economics now so its slightly impossible to avoid some convergence of those topics. The dollar reserve system (globally) is subverted by its black hole centralisation to an overly powerful government force that has no limits to its budget and has lost a need to justify itself to its people or other nations. Not that Im against this particular government or either side of the aisle but that the system itself is off kilter is increasingly not beneficial. That is ingrained in Bitcoin I think, I dont see how you can be long term involved and not have noticed that at some time or another. Its generally true that the common working man is becoming poorer for the same work done, central government is becoming larger with greater debt. Theres a noticeable trend occurring not really reliant on personal opinion or bias.
Capitalism is not centralised and does not have this bias to serve government as its arbiter. Ultimately it should represent competitive free markets, where success is determined by innovation and efficiency. Getting rid of government would not be the same as requiring it to be justified and hold a balance sheet capable of surplus. Wherever you stand its dangerous that government is incapable of returning a surplus right now, it must be capable of this to repay a debt and if it cant repay a debt then its not crypto who will pose any threat but government itself will collapse inwards. I suggest standing well back and do not be reliant on something failing this badly even if it makes you sad to see it, I think its quite inevitable.
Quote
Central planning is dangerous and not antifragile
Not even a political view, its probably provable in engineering and all kinds of different subjects. True as a general principle. Politics is a diverse subject, its the luxury of an advanced society true since the Ancient Greek system but we risk losing that freedom and diversity if the system fails so badly because people would not tolerate alternatives and competition was deemed dangerous.Some comparison views.

You are not really saying anything different than me, except perhaps trying to ascribe that I am some kind of blind pro-government advocate as opposed to your supposedly more enlightened stance that attempts to cause a more responsible (and perhaps more streamlined) government. We are not really saying different things when it comes to various potential transformative roles that bitcoin could play in future societal structure, institutions and incentives, as long as we do not attempt to attribute too much to the passing thoughts of the other person.
We are likely NOT going to resolve many if any role of government specifics in a thread like this, and surely I would not assert that the topic of government is not relevant to this thread, when we are talking about the ways that bitcoin could play roles in influencing possible government influences and outcomes.

One of the many reasons I like XMR: https://moneroblocks.info/richlist
Privacy, in general, is extremely undervalued.
Privacy, in general, is extremely undervalued.
And yet any goods/services bought with XMR that are shipped can still be tracked to shipper or receiver. Somewhat undermining the purpose, yeah?
You don't have to give your real name. And you can have it delivered to somewhere other than your home address. Or you could make a mail pool with other people. And if you really want to go all out you can use one or several remailers. And just because a package is tracked doesn't mean the one doing the tracking knows what is inside the box. But you are right, we live in an imperfect world, so we shouldn't even make any effort to improve the situation at all.
Bbut... but... 98% of XMR lovers aren't even buying anything with their moneros. Just trading back and forth for more fiat dollars. So in the grand scheme does it matter? Lol
Just playin' devils advocate, of course.
Nope. Monero is one of the few alts with an actual use case. I bought a Minecraft license with it last night... also see here:

I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you!
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You've fought hard and you saved and earned,
but all of it's going to burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time, burn your mind,
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you've done.
Fire, to end all you've become.
I'll feel you burn!
You've been living like a little girl,
in the middle of your little world.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time, burn your mind,
you're falling far too far behind.
Oooooooooooooo.
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
You're gonna burn!
You're gonna burn!
You're gonna burn!
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn,
burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, ahhhhhhhhh
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, fire ahhhhh...
- Fire performed by Arthur Brown
- Songwriters: Jacob Louis Plant
As merely counterexample one.
You are just in a feisty argumentative mood, it seems.
I would not categorize fire the same as bitcoin, in that fire was likely discovered and learned ways to harness fire; however, fire existed prior to various discoveries in how to harness it. Sure, you could argue that bitcoin and math existed prior to discovering it, but it seems that we are getting caught in the weeds of arguing for the sake of arguing rather than really making some kind of meaningful counter-point that undermines the importance of what bitcoin is really bringing to the table and its potentialities.
