Stolfi, adding Blythe Masters to your list would give a little more weight to your (rather unconvincing) argument. ^

Cute.
Yeah, I registered this account in 2012 with the express intent of confusing you with my sarcasm several years later.
Are you a comic book villain?

I missed the news about her, indeed. But the list is very long -- of people who obviously do not believe in bitcoin, but still hope to profit from the Bitcoin phenomenon...

PS - Massive laugh in the face of all the trolls with their pathetic bleating "Wall street is not interested, they will never be interested blah blah blah blah blah" wrong, plain old fashioned just wrong.
Credulous bitcoin investors are still pouring more than 1 million of fresh sweat-earned dollars into the bitcoin system, every day. (How much more, no one knows.) All sort of smart guys, from "Wall Street" or not, are very much interested in pocketing some of that money. That is the only reason why Andreessen, Sielbert, the Winkles, and many, many other professional money skimmers have been investing in bitcoin enterprises...
So basically you are telling us that people are not investing to lose their money? That in fact one should only invest in things that you believe will be big one day? What a brilliant strategy indeed!

how's your longs doing bulls?
Farther in the green than your shorts. Much farther if you only shorted in the 290s.
you didnt lock your profits?
good. I will make more money.
Ha. Your imaginary profits are going through the roof!

I was traveling for work since March 09. Eight days without hearing, reading, writing or saying the word "bitcoin". Logged back in today March/17 at about 14:00 UTC. I see that the price hasn't changed much, has it? 
.. that explains NotLampTroll's absence then.It seems that many of his aliases have been around all this time, no?

Some. But reloaded Friday the 13th.
It seems we are repeating a previous pattern. I'd close those shorts as close to 280 as possible if I were you. Before the weekend as well.
we are repeating previous pattern until we are not.
what a bad omen for bulls your reload on Friday the 13th.
What a bunch of pussies bears are that they think Friday the 13th could help bring the price down further.... But it only came right back up. Seems they are stupid enough to try again right now. When will they ever learn? Once they have no coins to sell and have to buy back in a a loss? I hope so!
no, I dont think that friday the 13th will bring me money but delusional bulls like you who didnt close their longs.

No.
I HODL.
Never sold a single coin.
Everything in cold storage now.

This is the best strategy IMHO. I only play with 2 alts atm; XMR and GCoin. Not that I expect to win big (XMR could actually work, but we're a long way from it), but I find it much more interesting than staring at BTC charts.

cos that's how we all live our lives, in a perpetual state of social networked paradise...
Idk. Looks quite sad. He's texting to himself.
I concur. FB could have done it waaaaay better than this. I guess there's always time for a small change...
BTW:
It's getting really boring in here. The pumps are so weak, the dips are weaker. It's not the time for trading, I guess traders must be having an awful time this time of year. BTW, serious question: Anyone here really into this buy/sell game under these circumstances?

Epic bear trap this.....
That was a lot of dumping for very little gain

Ive already stated that the cap is derived from the following calculation ( from main.cpp:1235)
// Subsidy is cut in half every 210,000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years.
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / Params().SubsidyHalvingInterval());

There could have been no rational justification for the choice of the initial block reward and its evolution over time, nor for the maximum number of coins -- although these parameters are obviously linked. Arbitrary for arbitrary, halving the rewards at fixed intervals was chosen because it was the simplest schedule to explain and implement.
The next decision was to limit the number of atomic units (satoshis) to about 2^51 - 1 = 2'251'799'813'685'247, which is the maximum range of integers that can be safely manipulated in IEEE double-precision floating point without rouding. That would allow any bitcoin accounting to be done on an Excel spreadsheet without losing a satoshi. (Excel, and many other programs, use double-precsion floating point for all numbers, Most computer nerds would never have tought of that. They generally avoid floating-point because of its complicated rounding, and would have picked 2^63 or 2^62 instead. But Satoshi obviously was not a typical computer nerd, knew how Excel works, and knew how to use FP without rounding.)
Once fixed 2^51 a limit for the max number of satoshis in the system, Satoshi had to choose the initial block reward and the halving period. 50 BTC is not a round binary number satoshis, but it is a nice round number of BTCs. WIth that initial reward, the halving had to be every ~210'000 blocks, to keep the total number of satoshis below 2^51. It was rounded to 210'000, meaning that the total will be a little less than 21 million. If the initial reward had been set at 100 BTC/block, for example, the halving period would have had to be ~105'000 blocks, or about 2 years.
