Then the hard fork would be a non-event and NOTHING bad would happen from it.
lol, a hard fork being a "non-event"..
sounds like a true acaderpic. Roll Eyes

Yes, "hard forks are terrible things" is part of the FUD that Blockstream created. 

Maybe because they invented the concept of  "soft fork", namely a change in the protocol that is deployed by the devs without the community being told about it; and that fits better with the time-honored hacker's approach to software project management. 

They didn't. Gavin did.

Gemini [Pump] Dream

This joint is jumpin',
It's really jumpin',
Come in cats an' check your hats,
I mean this joint is jumpin'.
The piano's thumpin',
The dancers bumpin'.
This here spot is more than hot,
In fact the joint is jumpin',

Wait, wait, that's not Gemini Dream... totally wrong song. Gemini Dream's more like

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Is gonna grow and die

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

...no, that ain't it either... nvrmnd, disregard.

We all saw the price drop like a stone when Galvin announced his intention to make the civil war go hot.
We even trolled Frap.doc about it:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12151832

You linked to a message of yours from 2015-08-15, but there was no big drop on that date.  There was just another small drop like there had been almost every day since the $296 peak on 2015-07-28.

The big drop was on 2015-08-18, and -- again -- it only brought the price to ~$230, where it was before the "Greek crisis" bubble.  The most obvious and convincing explanation is that, with the resolution of the Greek crisis, people finally realized that the Greek would NOT be buying billions of bitcoins. 

Of course the Blockstream bootlickers blamed that drop on the XT schism.  Since the schism had been developing for months, that was easy -- pick any random event in that story, and blame the drop on that event.

By the way, all this fuss abut the blocksize limit was ENTIRELY the fault of Blockstream and their idiotic plans for the "fee market".  If they had any sense, they would have implemented the raise in 2014 to be activated in 2016, with a two-line patch, as Satoshi proposed; and reminded everybody, a month before the activation, that very old versions of the software would stop working, so people had better upgrade or add the same patch to their software.  Then the hard fork would be a non-event and NOTHING bad would happen from it.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
What if Gemini doesn't fake the orderbook and volume? Bitcoin price is built on faking all of that.. and now there is suddenly an honest exchange  Cheesy Shocked Grin

Get out now  Wink

This is a spine chilling and very plausible scenario. Just goes to show that no one got anywhere in the financial world by being honest. Their all American lack of guile will destroy us all.

Honesty is not the best policy. Poor people believe you have to have money to make money. Rich people believe in stealing other people’s money to make money.

and jorge u fucking helmet, the xt/core tension took us down from the 300ish we were at during the greek hype.

stop being wrong

He's not being wrong, he's being a good troll (as he got you to react to his latest appalling untruth).

There should be an official, peer-reviewed Buttcoiner journal to collect the glorious malexpertise of PR, solex, Justus, Frap.doc, and Trolfi.

They could call it 'Lurker' or something!   Tongue

I'd vote for "wannabes".

Simple, glorious & elegant.

The Bitcoin exchange rate has never been fake! It's just made up by a handful of people that own the largest exchanges. lol

God, I miss Karpeles. He really knew how to make up a price.

This screenshot of their order book was posted by someone in the Bitcoin discussion board.



It's showing more orders than bitcoinity because bitcoinity's default setting is to group all consecutive trades at the same price into one entry.

Would be interesting to know which of those bids is from the major institutional investors i keep hearing about Roll Eyes


why buy from there if you can buy from the marshal's who have a better deal ??

Can we get some screenshots of the order book there from someone who has an account?

There's already a bitcoinity page showing the Gemini order book.
