Different approaches. I try to sell some on the way down and rebuy on the way back up (lower than what I sold it for).
What sort of QTY are you dealing with? Less than 1BTC or More than 1BTC?
There's a first rule of bitcoin, which is to talk about bitcoin, but don't talk about your qty of bitcoin.
Didn't you know that?
Sorry i didn't know that... I was just wondering how much BTC or $$$ some people here are dealing with...
I think the highest amount anyone in this thread has ever revealed is about .5 BTC. You have to give it to him though...he's pretty rich now after holding for 5 years.
A vast majority of our discussions are on tax compliance and how best to follow the rules.
It has been generally accepted that we all just go ahead and pay extra on top of any taxes earned just to be on the safe side. However nobody here actually gives any tax advice as we are not certified attorneys and that would be highly illegal, which is the last thing any of us want to do.
Some discussion is on how to become an IRS agent as that is the ideal job for anyone and we all wish we could be one but we're mostly not smart enough for such a prestigious career.
Had a casual conversation with an accountant over the weekend about paying tax. Guess I’ll know more in a few years. Also it’s different here in the U.K.
still gotta pay though!! No getting away from it!
The notion of being born and now own someone money is insanity.

another roach that didn't open sourced his matching engine...
if you don't own the private key, those cryptos aren't yours...
we need faster open sourced DEX... and ruins all centralized exchange !
I dont let a satoshi in exchanges any more.
I retrieved even from Bittrex, before the altcoins were stabed to death.
I want a exchange that can be stored in my computer, a P2P exchange inside a blockchain.
The best there is to date is "abra"

ohohoh do you have a link?
the problem is that the said "blockchain" should be able to link multisig and release coins for the wallet automatically once the trade is matched and not some kind of scam to pump a shitclone... otherwise they will not be chain neutral...
its a phone app. 50 currencies plus 20 crypts (more to be added)
you hold privet keys (not sure bitcoin or litecoin) and no fees

LMFAO.
Exchanges in cellphones dont look safe to me.
You have the private key, as long as you have no malware on the phone or lost phase you are in control of funds dont matter the equipment
The Abra model is 100% peer-to-peer, with no middle man ever holding, managing or touching your funds at any point in any transaction. So you are in control of your money!
What is a recovery phrase?
Abra provides users the private keys to their wallet using a recovery phrase. The recovery phrase, sometimes called a “wallet seed” or “backup phrase”, consists of thirteen words that need to be written down and stored in a safe place. If anything happens to a user’s Abra wallet or the phone that the wallet is installed on, the recovery phrase can be used to restore and recover all funds stored in the wallet.
Do I need a recovery phrase?
You are the only one who will have access to the recovery phrase, and you will need it to retrieve your Abra wallet if your phone is ever lost or stolen, or your app deleted. Thus if you lose your backup phrase, you are at risk of losing all funds in the corresponding Abra wallet.
was it approved by the iOS gulag guardians?
yes

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/world/middleeast/trump-strikes-syria-attack.html The US, Britain and France on Friday night launched missile strikes on Syrian targets aimed at degrading the Assad regime’s chemical weapons capabilities, but stopped short of attacking Russian or Iranian targets in order to avoid escalating hostilities.
The three western allies had “marshalled their righteous power against barbarism and brutality”, US president Donald Trump said in a national television address. The move follows the poison gas attack in Syria that killed at least 60 civilians on April 7.
Trump should not have done this.

• it can only support a deflationary monetary system, no inflationary ones and so is useless as a trading currency
• it has no native fungibility maintenance
• governance is by contention only, which has already lead to forks in the community as well as the chain itself
• it's one of the most centralised assets in the financial universe with 98% of the supply being held by less than 0.1% of the world population
• it's slow at confirmation (a good thing IMO, but if you're trying to top up your credit card when the shop's closing in 10 minutes, forget it)
• the Lightning network will not fix this as it only works for off-chain transactions plus...
thisI'd better stop there for now cos my "koolaid" tank seems to keep topping itself up and I might get a bit sick
Your criticisms are all the strengths of the current fiat digital monetary system. Enjoy, you have it today.
Which is why bitcoin is not about to replace it. There are many "alts" already doing so instead.
Bitcoin may replace the gold sitting idly in vaults.
Bitcoin's main strength is not its speed, not its block time or size, not its mining algo, suppy cap... I am not saying bitcoin is an outdated tech though. It has the highest dev activity out there. Most of the altcoin devs are still copying core's work to create their own blockchain and that's a good thing. What iam saying is Its main strength is its immutability. Everybody knows once its on the block chain, it is done. There isn't a way to undo it.
In other words, bitcoin is the true decentralized/leaderless blockchain. (unlike eth or bcash or almost any other shitcoin out there)
Bitcoin didn't do partnerships, satoshi didn't buy google ads or hired shills to promote bitcoin... Everything happened because... bitcoin was good, people thought bitcoin was above partnerships, CEOs, leaders, corporates. People bought it and exchanges had to list it, businesses had to accept it as a payment method. Nobody signed nothing. That's why it is not going anywhere (nowhere bad) as long as it stays that way.
Exactly the way i see it.

The growth of Bitcoin ATM's keeps increasing... currently at an average of 8 new ATMs installed DAILY.
https://coinatmradar.com/charts/#growthI always keep an eye on this because I consider ATM's are one of the key factors/signals of Bitcoin real adoption and usage (as a storage of value, at least).
Some areas like Las Vegas with 65 ATM's over a relatively small area are reaching some pretty good density already.
Unfortunately the fees, most being around 9/10%, are a complete rip off, but there is a selected few with more "reasonable" fees like the one at the D (which I think was the fiist ATM in las vegas) at 6.9% for selling or the one at the "Heart Attack Grill" with an even better sell fee of "just" 3.5%.
Btw, anyone have a graph of how regular bank ATM's historically grew? Would be a nice comparison...
10% beats the 20% currency exchange rate in French Polynesia.
I want to buy a car but I refuse to lose 20% of value plus wire fees to do it. I rely on small trades here and there for spending money but I'm still trying to work out a way to get about $2-6k into CFP.
I will likely just buy a scooter when I get back. I considered trading baht to CFP here in Thailand but no exchange deals with such an obscure currency.
Did you check
Abra, they support 50 fiats and 20 cryptos plus adding new one.
0% fee (They make the money with spreads) and you hold private key

Anyway I'm getting really tired of this and really annoyed that there isn't one single person to step forward to say that they understand what I mean. Even though I really do believe in what I am saying and I think that I have good arguments behind it even I am starting to feel like a troll at this point. So I think I am going to disengage from this pursuit.
Disengage from Nazi noise too, and you could find even more respect.
Hitler did nothing wrong.
mmm hitler is very easy ....

Well that was a big squeeze a 400$ increase in just 15 minutes shows signs of Bitcoin's strength and its bulls are showing that they are no pushover when it comes to price action. 9,000$- 9,200$ is the next target if we have stayed above 8,800 to confirm that we broke it. The bull flag is looking good and reaching that target has a high chance because of the increasing volume as well. If the RSI on the daily trend will hit double bottom in 40 this will confirm BTC is going on the bullish side.
Ranging between the daily 50 MA and 200 MA is just noise. Your confirmation is daily price breaking through the 200 MA, testing and holding.
Both daily 50 MA and 200 MA seems to be rising, next week 50MA will be around $8500 and 200MA will be $10300.
Maybe the price will bounce between $9000 and $10000 for a while...

I wonder where r0ach is getting the energy from to do what he's doing. He clearly has 0 followers, noone rarely agrees with him and he is being bashed nonstop. Or does he really think he is smarter than everyone else and he is genuinely trying to convert us from stupidity of cryptoworld to the high intelligence of silver trading? Lol.
Just wondering, maybe I should take a book of psychology to understand someone who seems smart but is so utterly stupid.
Many woulda-been, coulda-been Bitcoin millionaires become bitter, anti-Bitcoin zealots.
Yeah, and I’m sure he’s probably hoarding a kilo bar of silver that he paid like 50btc for back in the day.
He be like...
“Ha! , I just paid some sucker 50 worthless bitcoins for a kilo of silver that’s gonna be worth
half a million$ someday!.....”
You know at the time it was very hard to let go of the shine coins/bars to exchange for something not touchable. Followed one of those gold bugs sides religiously and at some stage got convinced silver is the real future. Eventually sold 95% of the gold for a small loss and got stuck with the silver as the losses where to high it thought, eventually i did get rid of it. Not so long ago i wanted to dump (at any price) the last 1,25 kg and i could not find it in a short time i had available. Someday i am sure i will get a sandwich for it. The only once profiting form silver is dealers and government with the high tax.
There are times selling at a loss is the right move and this was one, risky yes, with all the doggy exchanges around, all the uncertainties with crypto.

There are literally 20,000 bank coins created a day. This one doesn't even rate in the top million.
No, not that many exist with 200 plus banks using it.
There is a few interesting bits. They are desperate to call it a blockchain even so they only have a database with servers on different locations.
They operate in a strict private matter where only sender and receiver see details, so private coins is full steam ahead, if its good enough for them it is good enough for me to know who is sent bitcoins to. Bitcoin will have improved private features in times to come.
Its also acknowledgment of the way forward from current broken system.
You know i have a international payment pending since April 6, yes a month and a half. I have confirmation letter from my bank it was sent on 6th, can see it when i log in to online banking and numerous phone calls to bank confirmation that receiving bank has my money.
Receiving bank (Agricultural Bank of China) has to date not credited beneficiary account nor responded to any of the three messages sent from my bank to get in touch. Couple of days ago i did contact financial ombudsman, no reply so far. Meantime container gets hit with demurage penalties daily, how sic is that.

Apparently this. Moving from Shanghai at that time would not have been a straight forward process.
Lee was born in the Ivory Coast to parents who had moved there from Shanghai. He spent most of his childhood there, but in his early teens, he moved to the United States. He attended the
Lawrenceville School before graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a B.S. and master’s degree in Computer Science.
After college, Lee worked as a software engineer at Kana Communications, Guidewire Software, and Google before starting his crypto career.

I think he worked at google right?
That would make for it yeah. Also probably he is older than he looks like (in fact in recent pictures he does).
If you read that twitter stream, to this day Charlie doesn't consider Litecoin a scam.
But often we need to reconsider what the definition of a scam truly is.
I mean, to make Litecoin he literally took a snapshot of the Bitcoin source code, changed like 2 easily-found config parameters, and launched it. And he admitted that it took him all of like a long Saturday to change and test it. He put almost zero effort into creating Litecoin. He created an altcoin of Bitcoin with a few clicks of a mouse. What he did, anyone could literally do with enough knowledge of the code.
So what part about that process and goal isn't scammy? Today when people do that with the Bitcoin source, we say that they're doing it for scammy or selfish purposes. But for some reason we give Charlie a pass because he's a nice guy, Bitcoin proponent, and no longer holds any LTC. (Little known fact: he once DID hold a metric shitload of LTC and probably made a million dollars selling some before LTC even hit $0.20c)
Changing the algorithm from SHA256d to SCRYPT was a little more involved than changing a couple of parameters. But yes, something like this could definitely be done in 24 hours.
The creation of Litecoin stems from the emerging of more and more scamcoins like GeistGeld, ixcoin, Tenebix, Solidcoin....
To counteract
Tenebixes 7.7 million premine
Faircoin was launched. Basically a 100% copy minus the premine, done in an instand. It was a rushed job just to deal with it. From then with a proper announcement and a little bit more work and thought Litecoin emerged. The prelaunch thread had 5000 views and a vote for best launch time (4 options).

The Egg of Columbus comes to mind. That's why nobody else did it and people that saw it early had all kinds of objections... "An egg of Columbus or Columbus's egg refers to a brilliant idea or discovery that seems simple or easy after the fact." A million bitcoins is the least he deserves. His "invention" is worth more than that if in the end, we have free money.
+1
I totally agree. I hope he becomes the richest man on earth. What Satoshi was able to come up with on his own was truly remarkable.
I actually believe what Satoshi came up with IS brilliant. And that's why I think he may not be one person. It takes someone who is great at math, economics, and computer science to come up with this. And his solution is also very thorough. I'm really surprised to see such a complete solution in a version 1 product. Know what I mean? When someone comes up with something this novel, normally, the first attempt will crash and burn. So I give Satoshi a lot of credit. He deserves every single bitcoin he owns.

My international payment from 6 April has still not been processed by ABC (Agricultural Bank of China).
In a month and half they failed to credited the beneficiary account, and the numerous request by my bank to get in contact where so far ignored. Contacting ABC did nothing just replied i have to contact my bank (Santander) to get it sorted because of bank secrecy law they can not talk with me directly.
The payment literally vanished mid air.
Meanwhile facing demurage penalties daily.
No successful communication between two bank in over a month and a half in times of mobil phones, email, chat,...
How is accurate account keeping possible if the whereabouts of a few thousand dollars is unknown for such a long period ?

My respects to anyone whose work is about creating real value and developing the economy. Then you must also see this (crypto) as a fun game and not take things overly serious
Goes against the grain here but I have always said for me personally I use crypto for short term gains then plough the profits into gold for the mid to long term.
In the future I see crypto being banned with state issued and controlled crypto being the legal alternative.
Most will disagree but no one has a crytal ball and time will tell.
Gold has no future because of the upcoming power abundance. Right now it is extremely inefficient to make gold which can be done but to produce 1 gram it would cost you a million dollars so digging it up is far more economical.
Bitcoin is limited does not matter how much free, very cheap power you have you cant produce more only push up the hash-rate to astronomical levels. Free or extremely cheap power you still need a unit of measurement to contact business. And the other thing prof of stake or any of the other stuff the carpet is ripped right out under there feed if power or environment is not an issue.
Trust me its on the way and or in place.

neat data! not sure if its yours, but it would be nice to have a 2019/2020 and maybe even later inflation ("predicted")
Well Bitcoin halves again in 2020, so it be 3,x until then. Fours years at 1.6%ish then 0.8%ish and so one. Litecoin halves in 2019 then its 3.3ish and will always be 3 years (1007 days ) behind. You cant beat it unless you cheat or apply some kind of trickery. Monero will be at "100%" in May 2022 after which a 0,87% tail emission commences indefinitely. Slightly better than gold and better than Dogecoin which has the same kind of tail emission just different numbers "100%" was in 2015 and is now 10k reward indefinitely. Ripple and Stellar operate like fiat and release to favorite market conditions. Play the market as company's do. Ethereum no one knows its now 100M the original story that there will be 92M clearly is not correct. How long is a piece of string? Can you make money on Zchash or other alts, of course thats what trading markets are for, to increase your net worth. Where will you park it wealth fiat lose ~2%, gold lose ~1% land which has various amounts of land tax or Bitcoin.

Maybe there is a need for a thread on the topic?
I know that there is a thread on the flat earth bullshit, but that concept of flat earth is totally luny (pun intended). By the way, a faking of the moon landing is not even close to the same level of flat earth luny beliefs.
no need from my point of view, as one way or another BTC price is not affected.
there is plenty of evidence around if you look for it. believing it is up to the individual. depends on ones technical understanding of the tech and your belief in the sources.
I think that part of my point is that moon landing and other topics such as the official story behind the twin tower and DC attacks of 9/11/2001, who was behind the JFK assassination and other topics have decently credible evidence on both sides.. There is almost NO decently credible evidence that the earth is flat.
There is a strong correlation between conspiracy theorists and low cognitive capability. Make of that what you will.
Maybe such another thread would treat the concepts of conspiracy theories rather than any particular conspiracy theory?
Surely, the concept of conspiracy theories can be related to bitcoin and also to the kinds of skills that any of us needs to attempt to sort through how to invest our own thinking (and simultaneously, money, perhaps?).
In which basket will you throw the fact that the FBI claims Nicola Tesla was an alien.

If Yes, adjust belt-buckle, make sure testicles are comfortable, and chill out for a while.

It means If they try to lower btc's value to $4.5k, it will be a matter of time for btc to jump back at $8-9k+. At $4-5k It is no brainer to buy some. It is a sure bet. Easy money.
Don't you think btc will make a comeback and hit
at least $9k again? If it goes lower, than 6k, it just means free money.
According to what it will bounce to 9k?

And you seriously make believe that a line going upwards at a 45 degree angle infinitely is sustainable? The market is never allowed to go sideways or...god forbid...down? You do know that bitcoin is entirely a dollar derivative right? So any decrease in dollar liquidity would also collapse bitcoin. Has autism gone airborne? As for dollar liquidity, at some point in the near future it will either collapse to 1/10th of what it is now and blow up all the banks at the same time, or dollars will become extremely liquid...like in Venezeula. But there's definitely not going to be any smooth graph upwards in any circumstance.
If all the banks do blow up, the flight to safety is definitely going to be silver and gold and not shitcoins. Shitcoins are all extremely high risk assets and nowhere near the base of Exter's Pyramid, so it's impossible for them to be the unit of account of anything.
If you pay attention it already started to flatten out.

None of the charts will appear on my post, because I’m a newbie. Someone else will need to quote it if they’re interested.
The two scenarios I have been considering are the crypto-winter in this first case and my variant of the second scenario where the price dips to the center purple curve as it did int 2013, before making a new ATH quickly in early 2019 as shown on my chart below.
AFAICT, his variant of the second scenario doesn’t make any sense when you realize the white dotted line is the rightmost yellow line on the following chart. What do you think?
There’s two broad scenarios for BTC. Crypto-winter $3000ish. New ATHs $30,000ish. Thus the “fair valuation” of BTC is ~$10,000ish as of the moment.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
I see we hit a new low for the year this morning and are bouncing back... currently $6245USD/$8295CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Even when we were at the bottom we were ahead of where we were in November. How soon we seem to forget.
I hope everybody bought lots of coins. I'm just glad I didn't have to sell any.
That's the trouble with being retired living off your Bitcoin holdings. Every now and then you have to spend some to buy fiat currency.
gotta hate those moments on times like these
The odd trade helps to move it along until next halving but missed it by a few dollars so had to sit it out.
Double wammy. Knowing but then fail to execute. It sucks alright, but at the same time can't complain to much about the forced early retirement.

OT: Here's video of a cute market analyst talking about the current Chinese stock market.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2018-06-28/are-china-markets-having-a-2015-moment-videoNotice that through the entire short video, there's absolutely no discussion at all
of the actual underlying Chinese economy itself and whether the market accurately reflects it or not. Just a bunch of blather about possible de-leveraging and the Chinese government's ability to manage the markets effectively or not.
Point? Fake, propped up market completely decoupled from reality.
Yup, thought she was a 7 at first, but then she started talking. 6/10 would not invest.
Every year China financial analysts bet each other on the 2nd and 3rd figures in the growth figures to be announced. Obviously it's gonna be 6.8something percent, but what exactly? 6.811%? 6.873%?
also ot: a great if old report on China consumer

why do you think the growth is linear? here is a curve I have created. This curve is very primitive of course (I spent 2 min. for it) but it is very clear that the increase of the price is not linear. r^2=0.886 by the way
I did not say growth is linear.
I am willing to take any bet that at some stage the two lines will touch again.

................BTC is really only meant to be used as a store of value and to transact with large sums of value. So scaling is not necessary. The wealthy do not mind paying the high transaction fees to move large sums of value around. Also, according to his arguments, the wealthy elite don't want some platform that is going to constantly be changing. They would prefer something that is immutable and demonstrated to be secure. When changes are constantly introduced, it is possible to have some insecure vulnerability be introduced and have some black hat exploit it..................
Thats more or less how i see it. Do away with the banks but use preloaded visa, mastercard cards, topped up once a month or whenever desired from your own bitcoin bank. Use existing infrastructure and scaling issues done away with in in instant.
Most likely it will work out like this by default anyway as inflation intensifies and more people store wealth on deflationary bitcoin.

The poll is looking much more bullish this week - good to hear
BTC dominance is approaching 50% and the highest its been this year - you think it will hit 50% or will we see an alt surge?
The whole reason alts exploded goes back to the first LTC pump. People got it in their head that when bitcoin pumps, alts pump harder. But, just like any "known" trend, once it is known, it doesn't work anymore. Alts need to beat bitcoin on pumps consistently to make up for the risk of holding the shit. It isn't really happening on this pump and that may very well spell the end for 90% of the alts when all the dust settles.
I am sure you got the first lct pump wrong
1st 2012-01-23 $0,0027 to 2012-02-02 $0,0272 = 907.40%
2nd 2012-05-29 $0,0023 to 2012-07-31 $0,064 = 2682.60%
3rd 2013-01-04 $0,0699 to 2013-04-09 $4,8400 = 6824.17%
4th 2013-10-21 $1,7 to 2013-11-27$ 43,39 = 2452.35% your first LTC pump came on top of a 6824% rise ($43 is closing price, intraday high $48)
5th 2017-03-10 $3,75 to 2017-09-01 $86,04 = 2194.4%
2017-09-14 $41,58 to 2017-12-18 $358,34 = 761.80%
Dash
2014-04-10 $0,46 to 2014-05-25 $15,13 = 3189.13%
Ethereum

My thoughts for the moment (alts not joining this rally so I expect a dud):
Does anyone know the exact relationship between alt coins and bitcoin, except that bitcoin is the dog and altcoins are the tail? At the same time, alt coins can lead a rally or they can trail a rally or they might not come along because there is more froth in them, so I do not deny any relationship between alts and bitcoin, but I doubt that the mere fact that they are not coming along would preclude bitcoin from rallying and continuing to rally.
For other reasons, including the fact that we seem to be in a consolidation zone that might not be easy to break out of, I do agree with any assertion that BTC might not go directly up from here and break above $8,600, for example... so maybe now, our consolidation zone has moved to a range of $7,000 to $8,600, so accordingly, there would not be any reason to write home (or to get excited) about any movement within such current consolidation range.
Some do come along give me a little while i will update.

I doubt that there is any kind of lasting pattern, but I suppose that correlations can exist on a short-term basis - while the overall theory remains that a large majority of the value from the various alt coins is going to flow into bitcoin - even though some of the coins might be able to find persistent use cases (beyond pump and dump) to give them longer term value, but even then, it is likely that Bitcoin will absorb them too.... one of the problem of the relatively long phases of development and adoption is that it can take so long for the new use case or even building upon use case to play out, before it gets absorbed into bitcoin, and also a lot of us might be dead before we really witness any kind of meaningful consolidation into bitcoin - talking 40-50 years.. but surely in the mean time there are likely ways to profit from shorter term correlations that have existed and are likely to continue to exist, even if there may be some revolving door aspects regarding which coins are providing which values that might go beyond pure speculation.
This is how the market moved since beginning of year.
Some coins (i have no data but know) are well ahead, like 5 times up from beginning of year but with no volume.
Of the coins listed Eos, Stellar, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Ethereum classic are better as the market as a whole at this stage.
Stellar is on course to re-lease/sell about 1% of total coin this year, Eth ~5 and BTC over 3. actually:
https://i.imgur.com/RMgWIv5.pngIn midfield is Neo, Litecoin, Monero, Dogecoin, Namecoin, Peercoin all crammed togeter and also Bitcoin Cash

What is the net result of the mob style introduction of lightning.
1.) shifted the only alternative from litecoin to bitcoin cash
2.) created numerous forks all (most) share the same deflation aspect making bitcoin weaker in the process
3.) created disharmony, lawsuits, confusion and personal insults
I could not care less about Roger or Dr. whats his name. I care about the technical aspect and generally myself.
Isn't there some old saying, Better the Devil you know that the one not known.
Is the forced deviation for pure personal gains/interests by a bunch of individuals of which Lee was one of the main characters (and now wants unlimited bitcoin because of security issues) and had to venture several times to china to convince the miners (and probably forget a suitcase full of coins in the office) in the process or is there a deeper reason?
It is plain stupid to tell someone to buy some money. Bitcoin is an investment. Far better tools exist or can be used to pay for a coffee....
Money has no value it is just a tool. To add the bill of the coffee to my phone bill is just fine at the same time i would not top the phone up with life savings or some crazy amount.

I don't claim to have a lot of technical skills, but I fail to understand the jist of your supposed concern about lightning... From what I understand, lighting is in a testing phase that is getting a lot of increased usage, use of
lightning is voluntary, lightning is largely pegged to bitcoin, so I have no idea how it could reasonably in any way be related to a centralized supply scam, such as ripple.
For the time. Will you give personal guarantee that it will remain so for ever. I can tell you it will not, why? Same reason as always enough money hungry whores exist.
Satoshi and scam ripple are light years apart. Lightning is much closer related to scam ripple than to Satoshi.

Haha, digged old stuff out - still good and correct.
Small blocks was dictated by the 'best' software devs and a fiat based blockstream, blocking on chain stream.
Bitcoin business devs moved on, since on-chain scaling is provenly possible in the global money world.
Sure, not with Raspis, censure and social engineering, but with decent tech and investment like minres already achieved over last years.
Do you have a BIP? Or are you merely suggesting that folks here migrate over to bcash, since bcash is surely superior to bitcoin with its segwit and lightning network and other second layer scaling, right?
KISS is king.
Complexity will die or never take off.
In recent times i traveled a lot and established a banking channel with every coffee shop i visited once in life, not.
Yesterday someone wanted some icecream, sure the van was the same as before but a different driver, lets explore if we are banking partners, shall we.
If Satoshi is dead he be turning in his grave watching the hack a-tron be-formed on his handy-work. If he isn't who knows maybe he will at some stage says enough is enough of this Bitcoin which is on the way to become a doge-ed ripple combo (unlimited supply banking channel).
