Somewhere in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJbxaFHGk2M @fluffypony makes an excellent point about most ICO teams: 'they're scammers who don't know they're scammers yet'.

I've seen enough now to know he's right, it's all either inexperienced kids farting about or a few slimey 'businessmen', so I won't invest in them.

This admitted high-mindedness keeps my very palpable fear of missing out just, just in check.

This explains why most ICO's are starting at the end of may or in june, they are waiting for summer holidays

I see. What, so all the kids can pump their faves over the summer and then come back to school in Lambos?
While bitcoin blithers about all summer and beyond with 'scaling issues'.

I am having a hard time doing that. Any time I pick up a coin or ICO and do some research about it all that I found out is rubbish behind it. Yet they still keep rising. It looks like a fucking gamble to me.

You do what I believe is called "Value Investing". Not so much the fundamentals of a coin, but the team or devs behind it, what they promise to do, and what the public thinks about them, or what you think the public thinks about them (you can't really tell.) You try to predict which one will rise. Get in the mind of the pump and dumpers, without being them. I mean, I don't participate in the troll box or other forums, but I read them all, or mostly.

In short, it is gambling. LOL. Sorry. My so called "equivalent" 50 BTC is now 70, but as you or someone else has pointed out, it is not yet realized, so ... I better trade some of these back to BTC soon.

I really can't understand someone wasting so many time in something he is not invested in. If instead he would have invested when he decided to start his campaign against Bitcoin he would be somewhat rich now and could just go living its life. But no, he chose to keep living a frustrated life for no reason.

I have heard that about 5% of the population has some degree of mental issues.... But I don't think there's one out of 20 with his rating. No way.

he must've been writing several thousand words a day at his peak and didn't take on board a single one from anyone else. it's incredible the amount of time he devotes to something he hates that he'll never stop anyway.

Had he invested in bitcoin when he first started railing against it he could now take that money and donate it to his local communist party and probably get as much credibility among them as all of the propaganda he has put out over the past 4 years.

This week the Electoral Supreme Court denied nulling the whole party elected in 2014, besides the corruption allegations, then so far he'll stay in power till Jan-2019. Oct-2018 new presidential elections are up, this is what scares me most. It's ~~possible~~ probable Lula (the antichrist himself, father of corruption) will run and if he runs polls give him 90% chance to be elected. This is the worst scenario ever, this is the highway to become the new Venezuela.

That is unfortunate. When everyone is poor, they are easily swayed by those that promise to drain the rich to give them money. Which makes them more poor in a never ending cycle of decay.

What's worse is that even with a collapse, the people have already been infected by the idea that socialism is a good thing and in a democracy the people choose their new leaders. I have been to Romania where they lived under Soviet control for a whole generation. The young people are open to the free market but they have to wait as the old generation dies off before they can move forward.

Oh, great. We call this kind of person Mortadela (Bologna in a free translation). A mortadela is one among the thousands who are favored by government corruption with money diverted from State Companies (Petrobras, for example). To hell with him and all the labor party members.

they lost $14 million of ethereum recently so maybe he's watching to see whether it'll implode. they say they're doing fine. how many places have 14 million going spare?

Ouch, that hurts... more so if you are an insignificant exchange and.... the price of the lost coins doubles after the theft. Not looking good.

i could tell you about a certain brazilian academic who professed ad nauseam that bitcoin was a despicable ponzi, not in any way comparable to government-backed real money, despite having had his savings wiped out by the banco central do brasil no fewer than three times in as many decades.

but i'll spare you the pain.

We go way back with the Professor. He was one of our classiest trolls.

Actually there are only a dozen. My interest is specially about how Brasilian political and economic crisis is seen worldwide.

Outside of Brazil we are all given propaganda that one side or the other want us to hear. From what I see they got rid of a corrupt socialist leader and elected a pro business leadership. Usually when I see pro socialist news attacking something it is usually a good thing. I have some hope for the new leaders to turn things away from the bad road it was going down. I had several Brasilian friends and girlfriend in Germany. They love the culture but do not want to go back mainly due to how unsafe and corrupt it is.

Actually there was no election, after impeachment the vice-president assumed the power, and yes, he is pro-business but drown in corruption as all the others before him.

This week the Electoral Supreme Court denied nulling the whole party elected in 2014, besides the corruption allegations, then so far he'll stay in power till Jan-2019. Oct-2018 new presidential elections are up, this is what scares me most.

Does anyone know how to figure out what that would do to the price if he got tired of waiting and did a market buy?

I donno. That exchange is not among the ones I do observe. I don't think it will have any significant impact on global price.

What's the reason to use that exchange instead of one of the main ones?
