Does instant messaging over Lightning have killer application potential? The world needs censorship-resistant chatting and with Lightning, compensating the network for message relay comes naturally.

That’s just a little bit melodramatic for a 7-day ban of people who participated in a shitcoin giveaway, yes?

This is an Internet forum.  It is a 7-day ban from an Internet forum, and not undeserved.

Quarantines and death are not really comparable.

You're wrong. Its not a cheesy parody of a Beatles song.

Anyone want to place bets on what the cat would think?  LOL.

O.k.  I will bite.. but maybe not place any bets.

Wise investment strategy:  TA predicts that I would win such a bet. ;-)

By the way, I am thinking that kitty, kitty is NOT very favorably disposed towards any kinds of shitcoin pumpenings.. just a hunch.

I myself was once raked bloody with sharp claws for my having started in Zcash.  I was left pleading that it’s made by Real Cryptographers, that my crypto-idols Greg Maxwell and Pieter Wuille had cordially collaborated with Zcash people on some zero-knowledge cryptography stuff (on the Bitcoin blockchain), that Peter Todd was one of the trusted parties in the original Zcash Trusted Setup (per the blog post that he repudiated and defaced (archival link) when he unleashed a tweetstorm against Zcash), etc., etc.  At least technology-wise, it is not a typical shitcoin!

The cat’s reply:  Hiss.

Lauda is a Maximal Maximalist.

My personal experience HODLing Zcash :-(, plus their horrid handling of an unlimited inflation bug, their backpedalling on their promise to prioritize ASIC-resistance (just when XMR started fighting hard there), and many other stupidities, indicate that Zcash is an atypical shitcoin.  Technology alone does not produce the Bitcoin Social Phenomenon; and worse is good technology poorly executed.  I still say that Zcash is one of the best altcoins; but that is damning with faint praise:  Just saying that it has innovative technology instead of being a dumb clone of Bitcoin sources, and it’s not an outright scam.

Kitty: 1; Nully: NULL.

Hmmm.  Laura has been addressing me as “Nully”, which seems quite close to the grammatically correct Latin vocative.  Does the cat speak enciphered Latin?

Whilst travelling on business in Carpathia,
I doxed Lauda:

Lauda: ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH



I am thinking that a decent number of peeps in this particular thread do not give as many as two shits about what the cat thinks,

Though your point is well-taken, my mention of Lauda was a one-line off-hand remark about someone whom I am honoured to consider my friend, amidst a post about some WO regulars.

Furthermore, I am thinking that the cat does not give any shits about what those particular peeps think.  As for me—eh.  I am not a cat:  I am a man.

Upon his arrival in Latium, Aeneas, blessed for victory by his goddess-of-sex mother, won himself a wife the old-fashioned way:  Killing his rival.  He then became the Latin king.

Protip:  When a nice guy wants a princess, he buys her diamonds

(Image: Aeneas kills Turnus) width=640



I personally don't have any problem with that scary feline who seems to subscribe to the practice (or philosophy) that "it is better to be feared than loved."  Just like many cats would do...  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I personally will toast you on that:  Some of the trolls in Reputation perpetually accuse me of being Lauda’s alt.  I take that as a compliment, for I compete with her for the title of most principled and uncompromising. :-)


As for philosophy, although the discussion itself is as ancient as organized society, I believe that perhaps the relevant reference would be Machiavelli—who actually said that it is easier to rule by being feared, but more powerful to rule by being loved.

I love Lauda (don’t take that the wrong way: our relation is amicably professional).  So do many others.  And is she fearsome?  Frankly, I love the cat because she’s not a pussy (so to speak).

All good things must be dangerous, and therefore widely feared and hated:  As fire and Lightning, mathematics and cryptography, freedom, and Bitcoin itself.

In keeping with my (in)famous “theme” of quoting things that will upset idiots less if left untranslated:
and some folks here hate that fury beast.

I know. ;-)

Man you talk about lauda an awfull lot..

http://HowManyTimesHasNulliusPostedLaudaToday.tk/ ??

[...]

I also find it very funny that you try to come off as some cypherpunk anonymous anarchistic idealist but can't stop blabbering you unwavering support of the greatest current authoritarian threat who would crush the liberty you portray to protect..
Shit don't add up bro..

I am not particularly inclined to take up an extended discussion about this here in WO.  But you see, I have been running far behind in my quota for talking about Lauda:  The cypherpunk nym who is so powerful that she is a greater threat to liberty than governments, banks, and all the armies of the world combined!

Such wow.

Never posting no more

Fuck you, fuck me.

If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving my stash away
To a bitcoin charity.
All I need is a gram a day
If I ever get unbanned
If we ever get unbanned.

Well, the market imploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the red,
And the first cunt said to the second one

Well, the whales opened long positions
Seeing no one else was buying,
Never thought there'd be restrictions
For a giveaway of altcoins.

Why wouldn't he just use his regular account?

What you are saying, Cryptotourist, does not make any senses, unless there is something wrong with Roach's regular account.

Shit, I don't know JJG, I'm only fucking with him here.
That cunt had the audacity to call me a paid shill/agent - whilst most likely being exactly that himself - what the fuck was I supposed to respond to that?
He also kinda reminds me of r0ach in a more refined way. That's it.

You are really mixing r0ach with an early 2011 account that has *always* been *hyper pro-Bitcoin* during all this years non-stop? C'on, you could do better than that... Or maybe not.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
So that’s why I keep some powder dry at the trigger. Another BIG Dip is a strategy, not a desire. My main (small) trading position now is long.

Your dry powder surely does not go very far if you are going to exhaust it in the mid $5ks.

So since you are describing a "trade position", then I am gathering that you have a separate HODL stash that you do not touch?

Yup. My Mom Didn't Raise No Dummy  Grin

hahahaha

Yeah... we seem to have a considerable number of regulars here, who realize that even if they fuck around with trading a portion of their stash, they need to figure out (and practice) a portion of their BTC that they are NOT going to touch, except maybe when the BTC price goes above certain levels or some other tentative upwardly bound criteria.

Sent fiat to exchange. Just in case Bitcoin decides to give another big chance to buy cheap (sub$4,xxx).

You are skipping straight from sub $5k to sub $4k?

One step at a time, Wekkel, no?

I am not going to presume sub $4k.  No way

No, I have a strategy aimed at sub $5,500, but then I wouldn’t have any fiat power left. I keep open the possibility that Wall Street takes another nose dive (in the US the Corona shit is about to hit the fan), possibly dragging Bitcoin down with it... again. I would hate missing a great ‘buy the dip’ moment again  Roll Eyes

oh.  Maybe I misunderstood some of what you said.

Historically, you have seemed to have been a kind of person who had been able to either buy small amounts on  the way down, or at least HODL through the situation, even though sometimes the level of your bearishness could sometimes have indicated when a bottom was close to being in.

As you likely realize, my personal strategy attempts to prepare for more bearish than I actually expect the worst case scenarios to be, so even though I might not want to indicate some of my true level of bearishness or skepticism because I would not want to either be perceived as cheering for down or contribute towards causing anyone to sell BTC when they should either be preparing to buy on the way down or HODLing through.

It seems to me that you should not exhaust all of your fiat in the sub $5.5k arena if you are actually anticipating either sub $5k or even somewhere lower in the $4ks.

But, yeah, who the fuck really expected BTC prices to be here in the first place, and sure it is not out of the question that we might be testing $3,124 again at some point, not intending to give any suggestion to mindrust like folks to wait for that low before they start buying back.. and that is if they even get a chance to buy back in the sub $5ks.

Someone like mindrust, I just have a hard time knowing what I would do, because I would not have pulled that initial trigger in the first place, but I recognize that his perspective is different anyhow, because for some reason he continues to give a decent amount of weight to those bear stories that are projecting quite low BTC prices that seem to be kind of out of the realm of realistic likelihood for many of the rest of use BTC HODLers.


So that’s why I keep some powder dry at the trigger. Another BIG Dip is a strategy, not a desire. My main (small) trading position now is long.
