I'm no Crypto CEO, but I stand by my earlier, very conservative (near-bearish) predictions for 2020/2021:


I will be so happy to be proven wrong though...

Why This Crypto CEO Thinks Bitcoin Soon Hits $15,000

... and congrats, Capt. Toxic! I thought you'd been a legendary for months or years already.

 I can't even even about that. Things are getting crazy in parts of the country. Really don't like what BLM and Antifa are trying to foment.

Is this a new trend, like people who get off on car crashes?

That's the second picture like that I saw, in the other a man was rimming this fellow up against a car. Again in the midst of a riot.

Had I been a presidential candidate, surely I'd have begged you on my knees to become my VP running mate.

edit: my most shocking findings from the first 20-so pages were that 1. staying on-topic was actually a rule mentioned in OP and 2. most charts, pictures, memes and so on, have disappeared for eternity's "Image Proxy: Invalid Image"...

I had to depart with one merit for this reference as it indicates a Vietnam War era whore as opposed to a modern whore. Because if it were such it would be referred to as a Ho Chi Minh City whore.

Well, after reading twice I still can't decipher what the guy's argument is all about

good 'law' thread

All this made-up regulation

https://www.coindesk.com/crypto-companies-fatf-bitcoin-transaction
https://www.travelruleprotocol.org/
https://intervasp.org/
https://openvasp.org/

leads the banks back to this attack

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/the-real-story-behind-the-mit-chainanchor-project-for-bitcoin-1462288281

which has not gone away.

Banks could end up holding a big proportion of the coins in their custody, and try to force 'upgrades' to bitcoin or block them to lightning.

So I for one plan to withdraw as little fiat as possible in the next bull, and continue living pretty frugally and quietly (!) until the dust settles. It is too early yet in the battle between regulation and decentralisation, either their fiatised new bitcoin wins or Bitcoin does, in which latter case, I will be glad I hedl.

This is a marathon not a sprint, Bitcoin's screws tighten slowly.



tl;dr: hold the banks to account by hodling

You are correct that I do not read everything in this thread.  I came to this thread around page 6560 (my first post on the forum, too), and probably, I only sporadically read through some of the pages that were already in existence prior to my entering the thread... perhaps the first 10 pages of the thread and then here and there through the next 6,500 plus pages.

I do recall seeing a couple of reports from you in this thread regarding some of your thread reading progress in recent times, but surely not as many reports that I had anticipated in the event that you had been really spending some time reading through WO historical posts.

Through the years, we have had a decent number of members who have gone back and who have brought up some historical thread posts, from time to time, and sometimes those posts are enlightening and relevant, and other times they are embarrassing.  Go figure.  We do not always either get things right nor do we stay consistent with the passage of time... of course, a decent amount of individual variance in these regards, too.



Hey.. .don't be so disgruntled.       

It's NOT like any of us is imposing any duties upon you.  You are the one who proclaimed that you were planning on reading the whole thread.  Surely, I am not completely clear about how you are going to achieve your objective, but you are the one who proclaimed to have such an objective.


From the start, I had pretty much proclaimed that I was not exactly a fan of your proposal and I was a bit unclear about how you were going to be able to fulfill such proposal.. here's my responsive post:






I doubt that very many WO members would be very receptive to that kind of a fundraiser idea for your own voluntary proclamation and also little follow through from you, so far. 

On the other hand, since so far you have not seemed to have received much if any meaningful backlash from the mere proposal of a fund raiser, maybe taking the next step of setting up a special BTC donation address will inspire some members to donate to such fund (in the event that they do not red trust you)?   Hey, you gotta break some eggs, if you want to make an omlet, right?


Have you made nearly zero progress on reviewing and reporting back on that thread, too?   Seems that you are going to be rolling in the dough with all the hypothetical funds that are going to be generated from these so far paper-tiger efforts.    

He might be a shitcoin shiller, but how can you not love statements like this?

Let's say that 2/3 of BTC mining got knocked out for a variety of reasons in the coming months, then of course, there would be drama and FUD spreading, but at the same time BTC difficulty level is going to adapt every two weeks as the hashpower changes, in order to adjust to whatever might be going on, and king daddy could give less than two shits about from where (or what jurisdiction) such hashpower comes, and king daddy gives less than two shits if 95% of the hashpower leaves.  Of course, if there is lower hashpower happens, then there could be means to attack it while using less amount of resources, too.  

Sure, I am painting extremes that could happen, and so far we have not seen major drops in BTC hashpower, so it seems very unrealistic to be speculating that any kind of such major drop of hashpower is going to happen... so in that regard, we could just sit back and say that "we will cross that bridge when we get there", if such thing were to happen..

Personally, it seems to me that a lot of the speculation and fears are overblown and over discussed because we continue to witness relative modest changes in hashpower, even if there are potentials for large changes, we do not see that on the charts, and really I suspect that there exists even some hashpower that is in the reserves that would be coming online in the event that hashpower were to drop 10% or 20% or even 30%, we would be seeing some new players coming into the scene and turning on their shelved machines.. that's my tentative hypothesis, until some kind of actual evidence shows otherwise.


Complainer.  

Yeah, the BTC price is only worth what it was worth 10 hours ago.

In the past hour we have been bouncing around between $11,590 and $11,640  - bitcoin must be dying slowly and almost immeasurably.
