Dude moved almost 200K BTC and did not pay a fee, those are some old coins.

The blockchain.info tag is "Shit load of money!", I wonder if the owner entered that to mock us or if someone else did.

Should of known it was going to the moon again, when this appeared. But he slipped in, and no one acknowledged him.

Hi Loaded, nice to see you again.

This is the very first quote I found by looking at your profile, but there are at least hundreds more:

When someone can explain to me how Bitcoin plans to retain value without any real way to use them, maybe I'll be bullish again. But all indicators tell me that, Bitcoin is a sinking ship.  Doesn't matter what miners are using or doing.  Without mass adoption, it's just monopoly money, propped up by speculators.  And please, if you're going to try to spell it out for me, spare me the libertarian, bible thumping fantasies.  I need to hear something with real world substance.  

Your indicators indicated you very well.

So basically, you just made up that last quote?  Ok, thanks for not calling me a liar.   Cool

A lot of this quote is still true.  Is this not still pure speculation?  Are you claiming "mass adoption" for Bitcoin?  

Bitcoin hitting 900?  Never would have guessed it.  That's why I say, being bearish is futile...unless devs change the block size and centralize Bitcoin.  Ripple has the payment network aspect taken care of.   Wink

This loan thing is depending what is the situation. It's dumb to say that investing loaned money is absolutely wrong or that it's right. Many people spend rest of their lives in debt hell and investing some of that to bitcoin might be the way to get rid of that debt. There's risk but you have to calculate those risks based on your situation.

When you're in a hole, dig faster?

Maybe you can do a 180 curve while digging and get out of that hole.

I see what  you did there ... that sounds a lot like a tunnel  Cheesy

It's a bitcoin tunnel and there's a rainbow at the end =D

Relieved - I thought you were talking about doing a U turn, in which case you will certainly bury yourself alive.  Rainbow at the end is a nice touch.  Like your mindscaping.

As I understand it, the payment processors referred to in the video would handle smaller value transactions at a rate much faster than 7tps, which would then be added to the blockchain by the payment processor.
I am not a techy, so my understanding may be incorrect, but this is how I understood it.
Perhaps there is someone more qualified on hand who could explain how this would work.

I am also speculating that it is exactly this kind of 'bolt on' service that is part of the planned evolution of Bitcoin and why we see VC money coming in now.

Basically a fancy escrow service. Which is what banks and the credit card companies are at the moment in certain aspects.

So,in theory, could this kind of service be offered to the general public at a price that undercuts CC's and banks and makes the 7tps and the blocksize limit non-issues ?
Everyone thinks off-chain payment processors will be created on their own. The question is, are they being created?

If they fill a need and are economically viable, they will be created. If they are a part of the natural evolution of Bitcoin, they will happen. Perhaps there is no need for them yet ... as I understand it we are nowhere near the tx limit yet.
In which case, why would anyone be doing any more than laying the groundwork for them ?

You can't get out of a hole by digging - you need to find something that is about to defy gravity to lift you out Smiley
Sure you can. Dig on one side of the hole and use the dirt to build something that gets you up on the other side of the hole.

I'm having a deja-vu of the conversations we had in the Summer.

Coinseeker said BTC was doomed, that it was a joke, and that the future was Ripple. He said that BTC was a bad investment compared to Ripple.

We all know how that played out. BTC price surged 7 times and XRP has lost 12 times its value against BTC.

Well played, Coinseeker Wink

Ripple remains the future and XRP is holding quite stable verses the dollar.  Obviously verses BTC it's higher, because BTC is worth more now.   Genius.  Roll Eyes  And it was well played because I always kept BTC.   Wink

So BTC is/was the worst investment ever and was doomed to fail but STILL you "always kept BTC". Mmm... So basically you were just trolling?

Cool story.

Quote where I said, "Bitcoin was/is the worst investment ever."  And it's still possible for Bitcoin to fail, so don't get too arrogant.  It's all still speculation.

Better analogy: when you're in a hole, get some explosives. They might blow you to pieces, but maybe real world physics = FPS engine physis and you can rocket jump out of that hole Cheesy

seriously though, I don't see a difference in principle between not investing more than you can afford and not taking a loan higher than you can afford. If he knows he can repay the loan within tolerable living conditions in case his investment fails, it's not necessarily an irrational choice.

I could afford the loan out of my current monthly salary if I gave up alcohol and went onto a brown rice diet for a year.  Plenty of options and not all of them include halitosis Smiley
