And with it his mind xD

Good man!

Closed his massive short at a loss. :p

Bah, speculation that's all. Some people bought a lot of eth, then spammed the world so everyone thinks eth is uddenly great then the big first ones sold everything. That's all, pump and dump nothing more.

There is a whole bunch of ether (over 77 million!!!) ready to get dumped on the market. I expect a slow and steady capitulation of ether from here because Vitalik needs to keep operations running , and early investors want to jump in Bitcoin because of FOMO on the next bitcoin appreciation bubble that is likely to happen this year..

Nothing happened to it to start the price rise and nothing happened to it to end it. Speculators speculated. ETH itself just sat there doing its thing all along. It's happened a million times before and will again.

Has something happened with Ether or why people would be jumping from there to bitcoin suddenly? Sorry for the question, not really interested investing in other cryptos so I have no idea.

GOOOOOD morning
 

Too long in this shit to see hype and pump pretty clear...ETH is still in alpha...there was no reason for the price increase except pure speculation

Shocker...

dafuq?

What's changed?

I can tell you this. I don't know about $400, but we're never gonna see $300 again. 

The cliff guy is probably behind the pump too.

Wait. Wat??

I thought this was a bad idea?

Vitalik, along with other investors will need to make regular dumps to sustain development. The warning sign was all the spam we were seeing promoting ether and indicating a manipulated pump occurring to prepare for the dump. It will be interesting to see what Sergio Demian Lerner turing complete scripting softfork for bitcoin does to ethereum as well. It won't directly compete with Ethereum abilities but make much of it redundant and unnecessary.

Obviously not, because Bitcoin criminals chose bitcoin, because W/U, Moneygram, greendot prepaid cards are nowhere as anonymous or convenient.
I'm certain you would argue that, and you'd be dead wrong, too. I prefer to live in a world that makes doing bad_shit more difficult and less rewarding than doing good_shit, rather than a world which makes crime the obvious, begging solution to everyday problems

^Ether dumpers, mostly.

No one wants to comment the price and the fact that we're pushing this fucking red cliff hard?

Those hackers are disgusting , but this has little to do with bitcoin as hackers do ask for W/U, Moneygram, greendot prepaid cards (cryptolocker) just the same as bitcoin. I would argue that any currency that does not empower the individual the freedom to spend it for good or bad, responsibly or irresponsibly isn't a currency at all but more akin to a restricted gift certificate or voucher rather than a currency.
This is why we should be cognizant of most criminals preferring the US dollar to other currencies but shouldn't hold contempt for US fiat for this reason alone(There are legitimate reasons to find fault within it) . The US dollar is merely easy to launder, physically forms are anonymous, its ubiquitous , and has high liquidity so is a well suited currency for criminals.

There are two criminals in this story :
1) the extortionists holding the data for ransom
2) The hospital management for not having an appropriate redundancy plan with backups

This goes far beyond any ransom as there are many reasons why one needs proper backups and contingency plans.  The fact that the hospital didn't place their printers on a isolated VLAN is a criminal level of irresponsibility and people need to be fired over this. Part of the backup process includes having a restoration strategy and verification process and regularly testing this. If this is not done you shouldn't trust your backup. For this not to be done in a hospital environment where a lack of patient data can jeopardize lives is criminally irresponsible.

This is also a disaster because regulations gave a false sense of security to management. HIPAA guidelines themselves may have given naive management a false sense of security.
