Reputational damage is starting to pile up ... the list of wounded is growing.

Gavin A., Mike Hearn, Jeff Garzik, Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, Stephen Pair, Oliver Jansen, Brian Armstrong, Erik Vorhees, Mark Karpeles .... many purporting to have strong libertarian leanings or ideals and they have totally botched putting self-sovereignty into practice, worse yet, disrespecting the opinions and rights of others to practice self-sovereignty.

EXACTLY!!!!

Some variation of incrementalism will work much better than making large moves.

 Accordingly, withdrawing 1 year or even up to 2 years of living expenses could be reasonable, just to be protected from some of BTC's potential and probable ongoing volatily - including to the downside....  - and really how many years of expenses does BobLBL consider $2 million to be? 

If he really believes that $2million is up to 2 years living expenses, then yeah, he would be o.k. to withdraw about that amount

edit: ^aha. snap!

When even a ... 'full-stack javascript developer teaching at the Ironhack coding bootcamp in Miami, and a Henry Hazlitt fellow in Digital Development at the Foundation for Economic Education'

... understands bitcoin better than the suits.

C'mon, Barry, give it up now.

sucking corporate dick and getting banged by chinese miners is not bitcoin ... that's just more of the same, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" politicking, lying, cheating, stealing BS.

Self-sovereignty is what makes bitcoin valuable, you're gonna get #r3kt and have a bad time if you choose to do business with bitcoin and ignore that simple fact.

What do you mean by "heated?"   I think 10x is considerably understated... 

I think that the scaling debate was already going pretty hard when the price was in the $250s - and sure it "heated" up  more during the several month waiting period in early 2016, while BTC prices were floating between about $350 and $450.

But choosing any of those numbers would provide us with way more than 10x price appreciation during these ongoing nonsensical scaling debates (really attacks on bitcoin)

As I type BTC prices are bouncing between $7200 and $7400 - so I am going to use $7,300 as a price reference.  So let's look what is our current price appreciation that has taken place since the "scaling debate really got heated":

1) $250   -  29.2x

2) $350 - 20.86 x

3) $450 - 16.22 x


So, yeah, these nut job big blockers have been arguing doom and gloom of bitcoin since before $250 and arguing "scale or die" until they have been blue in the face, and the market does not seem to give a ratt's ass about their supposed doom and gloom assessments.

Does it care, this time?   I doubt it.  Sure we could have  BTC price corrections for other reasons, and yeah the fucking nutjob BIG blockers come in and say:  "I told you that we needed to scale.. blah blah blah"   So fucking what?  They are wrong and sure sooner or later, it seems that they could be right, but they are NOT correct.  There is no bitcoin scaling problem except in their fabrication and their ongoing attacks and largely the public, the smart money and the BTC market overall seems to appreciate bitcoin does not have these kinds of nonsensical made up problems that are overhyped on an ongoing basis.

Profit time

have let Mrs V8s go to Tesco for once rather than Asda, but none of that Finest scam.

if it goes to 25k in December, maybe Waitrose...

Spot on

Ok. I'll rephrase that in a manner that even you can identify with.

"Not one investor is remotely interested in blocksize, capacity or any other monetary vehicular niceties if it means the loss of 90% of the value of their holdings". (As it does when a suffix is added to the word "Bitcoin").

In other words, the market is arbitrating between stores of value and technologically versatile investments. Bitcoin is the latter so in that respect the one with the least tampering will be considered to have the maximum store of value. It doesn't need to support a gazillion transactions per second, it only needs to be more valuable than it was last year and support 7 transactions per second.

For performance and functionality, the market looks to either Visa or alts.

So, Tone called the top, sorta...

Believe the hype?

Maybe we should change the poll to "how many Trabis are you gonna buy".

Hi Missy, I mean mom.

While I was in high school, I got a classmate who basically drove a Testarossa to school everyday.  One time, he got a suspension from school for a week, and was forced by his parents to attend a public school for a few days.  Not surprisingly, his Testarossa got smashed up and his face punched in on the first day.  

There is also this dad who would show up occasionally in his Lotus Esprit to pick up his daughter from school.  One time he showed up with a girl who looked and dressed younger than his daughter.  
"Hey, I didn't know that you had a sister?"
"NO, that's my new mom."
"Oh..."

Driving a classy antique and people might give you a thumbs up and chitchat with you.  Driving a Countach to school or to work and people might give you the finger and gossip behind your back.  Might as well get a chauffeur who can double as bodyguard, which I do see quite a few people do in real life.

Who is making all the polls on this thread now that Adam is no longer here?

Way she goes, boys. Way she goes.

Q: how is it called when after a series of new ATH´s and the following drop the hottest bitcoin thread on the planet suddenly stops showing rockets/trains, etc..?

A: THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBOS

 

Desmond Morris to the publisher: "Who needs facts to tell science when you have conjecture?"

You sound lost, brother. How are things at the office?

Some guy has been busting out car windows on my street three times a week for a year. I'd have to move to a nicer neighbourhood. A Porsche would be an inconvenience.

Life up in the lumber colony ain't all roses and sunshine.

That sounds like a pretty tough place. Technically I need a Lambo like I need a hole in my head: I have a 10 mile commute to work and either the Porsche or the Prius can do it quite easily. It's just that I have more of a smile on my face with the Porsche.

If my commute was an hour to drive 20 miles with bumper to bumper I'd drive the crap box all the time. Or have a driver and said Maybach.

I now have this image in my head of a desert night, sky all black and starry and a big bonfire surrounded by a ring of Lambos. It's the meeting of the Bitcoin tribe, they have come to pay homage to the Bitcoin God....

Ok, time for bed.
