Why exortionists are still using Bitcoin for this stuff instead of using Monero is beyond me. Maybe they don't know better?

The same reason for which people generally FUD Bitcoin or r/btc FUDs SegWit. They are stupid and/or ignorant to know better.

I think that it has more to do with the fact that they know their victims would know more about bitcoin, be able to easily set up an account and buy it with fiat money. With Monero directly, that's not as easily accessible... hardly anyone has heard of it. I'm 100% sure that you will never see Monero listed for buy/sell on regulated brokers like Coinbase.

Also, the reverse is true with extortionists more easily being able to sell bitcoin for fiat somewhere. Or just convert it to monero themselves.

On other news.... The price is reacting to Segwit exactly as predicted. There will be dips on the road... but I think I need to readjust my price target for end of year.

Btw... what happened to r0ach?

I think a bar of gold dropped out of his purse and broke a toe

Pesky Goldbugs Angry

(ps- Liquidity? easier to acquire for the victim? surely they can take BTC and they can always move into Monero later to obscure their pesky bitcoiner tracks? or maybe they are BTC purists that consider every other coin a shitcoin? Cheesy

who knows what goes on in the minds of these lazy fuckers)

They are probably sourcing the coin that gets auctioned off differently than those that are on the market. I don't mind either way. I hope that we see >$3600 today.

I wonder what the price will be at the time of activation. Maybe OP should change the poll to reflect on that?

I think Brexit was the wrong choice for many reasons, it's not about paradise vs hell though, it's just that many aspects of the EU, including letting people work anywhere and money flow everywhere, were in large part made because that was what the UK wanted, being the country that invented globalization.

Really? How refusing migrant quotas forced by Bruxelles upon EU states can be a wrong choice?

Because the EU is about sharing benefits and burdens. Not only the benefits.

I have stated that I thought Brexit was the wrong choice for the British. However I didn't state that I was unhappy about it. I'm delighted that the British are leaving, now maybe the EU can go in the right direction, without a US trojan horse inside.

I really can't understand all this talk about claiming back your sovereignty when you have no problem with US soldiers and spies all over your country.

Meh cheap shot from me but.......

A French man - preaching to U.K about occupation !!??

C'MON??

Grin

Wouldn't you guys be eating Schnitzel etc if it were not for the Yanks and the Brits?

(I AM KIDDING!!! BUT A LOT OF BRITISH AND AMERICAN PEOPLE DIED FIGHTING THE GERMANS IN YOUR COUNTRY- THEY AINT ALL BAD)

I think you will find that the brits and yanks did fuck all compared to the russians in defeating germany in WWII. Cant blame you though since from watching years of Hollywood propaganda it would seem like the Russians were the enemies of the "allies"

1st off - it was a joke

2nd My ex is Russian

3rd I do not need a history lesson- and the Yanks and the Brits did their part and yes Russia played their massive part - and we only just managed to pull it off. If you choose to ignore the sacrifices made in that giant shit show, from the Yanks and the Brits thats up to you...I respect them, and the Russians.

4th - Do I come across to you as someone who gets their knowledge from Hollywood propaganda? because.... well I don't

5th $3500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm tryin' stay on topic here now !

1. Ah coolio

2. Great stuff

3. Agreed, not dismissing the part played by yanks or brits. But I think they already get enough credit (maybe too much) for the outcome of that war

4. Not anymore

5. Bring on 3600

The 2x part will never happen in November but who cares? Bigblockers have finally there BCash coin with no Segwit+8mb blocks...thats what they wanted, right?

What they want is control. Block sizes are irrelevant Cool

The problem is that they can do the same things with bitcoin that they do with gold & silver. Meaning: keep it in a vault and trade on its paper useless idols.

(The good part is that we can do the same!)

On the contrary, I think we had a good and civil discussion. It can't be bad.

Respects to you sir!

You know what would have made that discussion even more "good and civil"? It's own thread in the proper section.

Why so much resistance to get to 3500 USD? It's only an arbitrary number.

Because of €3000, but admittedly an arbitrary number as well.
