Thank goodness he and his irrelevant and annoyingly long posts are gone.
I did not say that.
Well, that's good to hear.
However, Windy, I truly believe kindness, trust and patience are the only way to change someone's behaviour, even their attitudes or beliefs.
But all you seem to do here is spread hate and ill-feeling -- it's very sad that a (supposedly) 40 year old (supposed) millionaire feels compelled to act like that towards strangers whose only 'sin' is to disagree with you.
Look there are intelligent posters, there are trolls and then there is Jorge, who is obsessive compulsive about when Chinese people sleep and just pontificates on this point for thousands of words a day. He hasn't added Ny value to the forum. He just uses this forum for his own amusement and is yet another clog in the forum wheel that is slowly driving people away. Just go read Ristos thread. So many feel the way I do. The joy here is gone.
Jorge,
Please ignore the trolls/idiots and keep posting your opinions/predictions about bitcoin. I for one appreciate the different perspective you have as compared to most people on this forum. Ignore the trolls and keep giving us insight we would not otherwise be exposed to. Anyone that thinks bitcoin has serious flaws will be derailed on a forum like this, but the keenest people will consider the criticism and accordingly be a little bit more cautious.
Yes, I am troll because I actually believe in the viability of the bitcoin technology. And because I don't consider Jorgi's continual price estimations any sort of real TA. They just seem to state the obvious. Here's the current price and we will probably stay within $20 north or south of that. And here are more stats about when Chinese people sleep.
I came to this forum for real substance and real charts and real TA and real speculation. We used to have a lot of that around here. So that makes me a troll now. Since I don't think bitcoin has "serious flaws" and even though I recognize that there are no guarantees on its adoption and growth I am still a troll. By today's forum standards.
Your comment is ridiculous. If you feel that there is NOT very much valuable information here, then why DONT you help in that direction of providing valuable information and encouraging others to provide valuable information... rather than doing the opposite?
Observing that something is of no value does not compel you to create something of value yourself.
Speaking of ridiculous comments... If I said "diamonds are enormously overvalued because of a global cartel" would you say "go mine some gold then, you piece of shit"?
... surely they are going to stall one more week, no?
Probably. That's totally different from insolvency, though.
I wish I was a fly on the wall in that office right now.
I wish I was too, Vycid. I have been picking up what I call "free bitcions" over at bitcoinbuilder.com. And after the next "bad update" by Gox I may pick up some more if it falls further. Of course, I could be wrong and have lost btc. But I feel like Andreas is about as close to a "fly on the wall" as they come, especially given the fact that Gox personally thanked blockchain.info for their help in the matter - I assume Andreas got to witness first hand how terrible their code is and why its taking this long. I think that was evident in his prediction of 2-4 more weeks before they have it sorted out.
Again, I could be wrong, but in my experiences, just like the contrarians love to do, when everyone is saying that something is doomed - it probably isn't. So, come to me, free bitcoins.
