I don't think so. I doubt he would approve of subversive altcoin garbage like "Classic" and the chumps behind it.

+1 the pump began with the Marshal's Auction Pump 2015. .. it will proceed upward pump beyond $500 probably after tax day .. and as predicted, bitcoin has not gone below 350 due to that being uncomfortably close to 300.. predicting this is easy when you understand the mindset and strategies of the manipulators. another strategy they like to employ is to discredit those who make predictions .. it is the same strategy they employ in the pm markets. the same strategies.

what we should be careful about is how they are dragging their feet to fix the scaling issue. they could pump bitcoin for the halvening, and then kill it with scaling failure in a wealth transfer scheme. and then roll out something new, if they even have time left to do that.. the federal reserve caught in the crunch right now.. they need a way to fix their books .

in other words: TRADE WITH CAUTION

He has probably expressed his opinion many times, but was banned for 'trolling core'.

He's probably just waiting to dump on corporate America at the most opportune moment. Then they can all sue Blockstream.

Satoshi might post his opinion backed by his PGP key to stop his creation mutating into something he opposes. His voice could change attitudes faster than anything else. Most of the community would back his opinion because he is the instigator of the Bitcoin project. If he's alive he must be following what's happening to Bitcoin.

Explanation

Ha! Bankers don't make mistakes - they still make money either way. And Greg is just realising that he doesn't really need to 'sell' anything now - the deal is done and dusted.

But what I cant get with is the fact that he knows he has no solution to routing, but is willing to pretend otherwise. Seems a dangerous strategy. But maybe its the only game left. And it seems to be working - getting Horizons and AXA onboard ( albeit with a lot less money than they are letting on) is no mean achievement. But it will be the death of Bitcoin as the vast majority of its community understand it to be.

Frightens and confuses me, how much I agree.
Phew! Disregard, order restored.

I'm starting to wish he had just stuck to Moneros.

Garzik seems on his way.

I think that it is true that we do not really know for sure when any kind of real big adjustment is going to take place.

I don't think that the dollar is anywhere on its knees, but you are correct that the bubble may not be sustainable and a sudden flip could take place at some unexpected time... whether within days or even months... .... but adjustments, here and there, I am not sure about whether a sudden adjustment is imminent...

In any event, I believe that my BTC portfolio is in a pretty decent position in the event that BTC is a counter performer to the dollar.

I wouldn't even know who Mike Hearn is if Core were doing their damn jobs. Blockstream is using an anti-spam kludge as an economic tool. They were never authorized by the owners (holders) or the employees (miners) to do so. They infect the network so they can sell us the cure. Mike Hearn wanted to bypass Core because Core IS the problem.  This is the free market equivalent of regulatory capture. Well, it won't work. Either the market embraces Blockstream and gives me an opportunity to cash out at a nice profit, or it rejects smallblocks and crashes, incentivizing the miners to adopt a real scaling solution.  I'm good either way, so what's it gonna be?

O.k.  Well, we do not really need to interact with one another, but there is a bit of bullshit in your various responses when you throw out a variety of allegations and then you fail to respond to any substance when called on it....  I think that you do not like me and you are calling me names because you are lacking substantive responses... and it is just easier for you to call names and avoid anything meaningful.

In that regard, you would likely have difficulties pointing out any actual evidence to prove your allegations or various conclusory points you make or even to substantiate how I could be a liar (what would I be lying about?  HELROW?  my opinion?) 

You are likely unable to point out any instance of me lying and then get into any substantive discussion of that... like, for example, you pointing out Ripple as a supposed meaningful competitor to Bitcoin... yeah right       You throw out the name, and then you have no ability to back it, and you comment makes little to no sense... just like your allegation that I am somehow lying about something, such as my opinion... what nonsense.   If you avoid substance, then it makes it easier for you to spin and to continue to ignore actual facts.  Your conduct seems to fit fairly closely within the definition of trolling.

That might be the real reason the EU want to regulate Bitcoin exchanges to the extreme. If there's a big stock market crash on the scale of 2008 they won't want people hiding their money in Bitcoin. With extreme exchange regulations about reporting every trade, withdrawal, and deposit they could find out every EU citizen's transactions in real time.

Everyone is buying Bitcoins. Yaay!

Looks like he's making the same mistakes bankers made in the early 2000s as well. Introducing products he doesn't understand and/or doesn't understand the consequences of.

Always room for one more.

That is exactly what he is trying to be and exactly the sort of person Bitcoin was designed to bypass.

hearn beat him to it.

Greg would make a pretty good banker. Why not give it a try??
