I am not sure why you are wanting to create some additional requirements upon me based on your own thoughts about the topic?  You seem to be talking about post style and discretion in posting rather than material and relevant substance, no?

In the past, you and I have also had some differences of opinion regarding what I am doing in terms of whether I am gambling or if I have a systematic strategy, and you seem to have some difficulties differentiating between what I am doing and gambling... so I have to take any of your recommendations with a grain of salt.... furthermore, it seems that  in the end, you want my walls of text to be even longer and more incomprehensible?  hahahha      

I doubt that I need to issue any disclaimer, and you seem to want to suggest that I have some kind of responsibility to issue investment advice in the arena of personal details, applicabilities, risks, timeline, financials, blah, blah, blah, for supposed newbies who might follow some variation of what they perceive to be my strategy. 

As much as you want to characterize, I am not issuing investment advice, and anyone on the internet needs to come to their own conclusions based on their own parameters rather than relying on what someone says in the interwebs, even though I am talking about what I do, and attempting to share information and to brainstorm regarding my ongoing relationship with BTC, and related topics..  .

In terms of the substance of your point, you are correct about the existence of third-party exchange risk, and some other associated risks that go with engaging in a practice of trading, including moving money around and also the fact that it can be very time-consuming to employ some of these trading (and investment protection) strategies... so yes there is some opportunity costs as well. 

My previous response post was not discussing every single aspect of trading, the positives and the minuses, and was not meant to be any kind of comprehensive rendition in any kind of way, so there are going to be varying priorities and a lot of other individual variations that were not within the scope of my earlier off-the-cuff response.

Come on then, all of you who are so quick to condemn me for my opinions, please explain why Brexit is a good thing or how politicians manipulating voters with lies is a shining example of democracy in action?  Do any of you really understand what has happened here?  Oh who gives a fuck.  Think what you want of me.   I only mentioned it in passing in the first place and somehow got jumped on.  Brits have been arguing this topic the length of the country for the past 18 months, there's no way I'm going to find an intelligent opposition on a Bitcoin forum.

Pyramid ages.
Logical.

Now now, ad homonym attacks and well poisonings do not move us forward, though I also find the view irrational.

I think she is confused, not evil, people evolve slowly.

Since you believe that a superstate will free you from the state you are clinically insane. Find a therapist.

 




"The British voters will have the opportunity to change the government at the next general election, yes, but they've already shown that their judgement is flawed"
 
The voters have a different opinion then me, so democracy must be bad". Where have I heard that before?

And were going down buy the dips bips

I see

we're done here

Are you in one of those states?

Ouch.

Maybe a fellow pesky bitcoiner can help you out !

Only if you think the individual can have any impact at all.  In reality, the disassociation from the EU and in particular the cessation of the bill of human rights and the jurisdiction of the ECJ means that the fascist tory government running the UK will now be free to be as draconian as they like with nobody and no body able to intervene.  The British voters will have the opportunity to change the government at the next general election, yes, but they've already shown that their judgement is flawed and I personally won't be eligible to vote in the next UK general election anyway.  I'm waiting to see what happens and how my rights are affected by the negotiations, but there's a good chance I'll be changing my nationality in order to protect my own rights.

so basically not for sale

ATM only Bittrex for us westerners

Incidentally- a good friend of mine wants to get in - at $15 I advised wait for a pullback- we are at $27 now and I still saying the same thing ...Its got to pullback right?

I have buy orders in at $7 ish and now I am wondering if they will get filled.

I have a target figure in mind of the amount to want to acquire.. dollar costing averaging upwards - ouch

so where can you buy the things?  I don't see them for sale

I hear you, but I think it  is touting to be more quantum RESISTANT than QUANTUM PROOF-

Apparently they are using/rolling out lattice-based cryptography which is supposed to be "quantum resistant" based on any public knowledge on quantum computing capabilities atm-  which is actually coming on slowly https://www.research.ibm.com/ibm-q/  apparently Lattice based cryptography offers more resistance than standard RSA to quantum computing .........

I do believe it could become a problem quicker than some realise- NEO are not the only people working on this Ethereum are for example (and many others) are working on this same issue https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/28


I don't think its just a gimmick - I think  Da Hongfei and his team are just trying to think ahead of the curve here (pardon the pun)

In other words, the forkers want to take control of the rules but keep the name (and value - that is, users, and market cap) of something that was built without them, in a different way, with different expectations: namely, that no single entity of trust of a few entities could take control.

The problem I have with this is that the present coven has only one objective in mind: the maximization of short-term miner profit. If this is good for the hodlers, the casual users, or other investors, is immaterial in their agenda.

An example: in due time, they could figure out that a hard cap on inflation (the "21 million" ceiling) isn't really necessary to maximize their SHORT TERM profit. They can sell the block reward before the inflation is "felt" elsewhere, or before it is fully felt anyway. Which means an increase in profit: the full reward, or the part of it that hasn't yet been discounted by the market as inflation.

Another example: censoring or reversing transactions that they don't like. When mining is really centralized, and miners make the rules, that's entirely possible. Therefore, by Murphy's Law, it will happen sooner or later. You want to send btc to some Chinese colleague of Assange's or whatever? You can't. You want to order a 1M$ mining rig from that rival of mine? Sorry, the transaction will never make it to one of my blocks.

I guess I could figure out better examples, but I hope you get the point. That would be the end of bitcoin as we know it.

Amen.

But it is less centralized because the sovereign unit is smaller.  If you do not like the current UK government, work to change it.  The smaller the sovereign unit he more impact an individual can have on its policy.

By your way of thinking one world government would be best because then we would have 195 countries to "moderate".

Yes, you are correct that the market should decide what the majority consensus implementation should be.

However, the hostility that you mention comes from the fact that the promoters/camps of these alternate implementations are still trying to proclaim that their forks or implementations are THE ONE AND TRUE Bitcoin, when clearly they are not. Not by longest chain. Not by most popular support from users, merchants, brokers, and exchanges. Not by most mining support. Not by most hashrate. Not by any measure whatsoever.

So the hostility is aimed at their misguided promoters, not at the implementations themselves.

I.E., - quit forking Bitcoin just to make a political statement or to gain more centralized control. It won't work.

They haven't and are still around. It is not a game about total dominance. The hostility towards other implementations is beyond me. Again diversity is key for trying to achieve some level of antifragility.


I will let the market decide, thank you.

Oh bitcoinwisdom.com, you poor poor website.   

How your owner is so lazy that he/she can't even be bothered to remove btc-e ticker, or to fix the LTC/USD ticker (that is now broken). 

If you realize why XT, Classic, BU, BCash etc has failed then you'll understand why Core's roadmap is the best possible solution to make Bitcoin mainstream in the most decentralised way.
