I'm not saying bitcoin can only go up from here, but we will enjoy laughing at Adam Hartung some day. He obviously has no idea how bitcoin works, and hasn't bothered to talk to anyone who does.  

Another fkn idiot author going with the Dutch Tulip comparision again. But ironically, there are exactly zero articles on the web comparing the SNAP IPO stock to Dutch tulips. Because that would be a pretty dead-on accurate comparison.

Hmmm... maybe I should write one?

Also notice that the more Bitcoin's price soars, the more these negative articles hit the web. They'll be screaming "tulip bulbs" all the way up to 200K. The next two decades will be hilarious.

an August 1, 2018 disconnection according to discussion in this post, and then discussion in the linked github article.

I think that Meuh is really great as a poster in this thread and other threads.. much better than his attempt to be a possible WO thread leader...  but pretty low bar there, no? 

please...differently abled   

I bought at the top too in late November 2013.  $1,200 off of local bitcoins  1.24 BTC for $1,500.  I was not disgruntled by that event because I continued to buy about .1BTC per week for the next year or two, and by the the time, I began to sell(really trade) I had brought my average price per BTC down to $500-ish - and I was selling (trading) at $250 and higher from a conceptual BTC stash that I had acquired at a price that was below $250 for that portion of the stash.

Sure, I was disappointed by the nearly two year downtrend in BTC prices - however, such downtrend should not have been completely unexpected, especially since at the end of 2013, bitcoin had already gone through 2 exponential price curves - and through the combination of those two price explosions, it had gone up more than 100x... so it would be silly to be disgruntled by the downturn, or even to buy a whole bunch at the top and then not have a plan in order to attempt to bring down your cost per BTC or have some other reasonable strategy.





What are the odds of hashpower not going towards segwit mining?  You really believe that miners want to kill the golden goose and take chances on some kind of pie in the sky unproven approach  of attempting some renegade fork of mining power?  Could happen, sure.. lot's of speculation about this, but what are the odds? would such 51% attack be sustainable - especially if only coming from miners and no one follow their dumbasses?

I will sell you my illegitimate Bitcoins and abscond with yer dolla.

Ok, enough... stop making fun out of the guy, don't you see he is retarded?

I'm in yer blockchain, haxx0ring yer coinz.

Come on!
How can a full retarded have a voice in a world famous magazine?


And then the linked url to "hack the blockchain" takes the reader to


For the fucks's sake! The shitty exchange was hacked, NOT THE BLOCKCHAIN!
This ruminant asshole should be sued for spreading such a misinformation!

Suzanne... sounds like you have been spending too much time on r/btc with your seemingly uninformed speculation about the supposed "bugs of segwit" 

Regarding our current status of "slightly pumped up bitcoin", you could be correct that we have to see the extent to which there remains decent buying support for BTC at this level.  I am tentatively thinking that currently there is a pretty decent chance that current ongoing buying support is likely to push us into the $4800 to $6800 territory before it starts to possibly be reasonable that bitcoin is "due for" a 35% to 50% price correction.

Sure, we are all speculating to some degree - however, your unfounded speculation about segwit supposed "bugginess" will likely lead you to conclusions that are much more erroneous than another person who does not suffer from such wishful thinking r/btc delusions.

Not all of them.... Look at these guys:

https://www.coindesk.com/45-million-ukrainian-lawmakers-reveal-big-bitcoin-holdings/

They do have way more Bitcoins than you do

And I would be they are not "early adopters". Or maybe yes: http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/dimtry-golubov-politician-or-cyber-criminal/

It's an ackward news. Not sure if bullish or not, but worth posting it for sure.

This is very bullbish:

You're Welcome.








Can we plan a stabilisation ?





Miners prepare something ... 

yes, with 5 shots of espresso

Sorry bro.

The blonde lady would always be the first choice.

Remember in late 2014, there were quite a few articles and talking points about "how to short the bitcoin".. and surely shorting had been very profitable in 2014; however, the bottom had largely been reached by the end of 2014, even though in 2015 BTC was pretty flat, so there was not really major advantages to shorting or longing in 2015.. until the end of 2015, when BTC moved from $250 to $500, and thereafter, it became much more difficult to short bitcoin and make profits.  We probably did not recognize for sure that we were out of the bear market until about May 2016 when prices broke above $500 into the $700s and largely stayed above $500 ever since (except for the temporary bitfinex blip).... only a mere 15 months ago.. how times fly in cryptolandia.

Sure, some folks can make money in any market, but it certainly helps to somehow figure ways to work with the trend.

The mess I'm referring is the split. I have no doubt about SW testing and it's reliability.

Exactly.
Congrats for you memory accuracy. I remember after a few days (maybe weeks) after SegWit activation on LTC the price dropped to 10+ mBTC. That's when I bought some and made huge profit selling for 20+mBTC. But the price only skyrocketed to 20+mBTC when Charlie Lee announced resignation from Coinbase to actively get back to LTC project.
Many posted here it was an event not related, although I believe that was the trigger to rise LTC price to double.

2x is supposed to be 3 months after segwit activation ... if it goes ahead. idk when 0.15 comes out - presumably before then

nearer term, there may be a bit of fud when bitcoin cash revises it's difficulty dramatically downward in a few days (needs fact-checking!), a couple of days before bitcoin's next adjustment.
