During the holidays I give nothing but bitcoin presents. Even if they don't have a wallet on a smart phone, I'll send some via OpenDime. Nobody gets anything from a store anymore. My motto is, "Everybody needs a little bit of Ƀ."

It could be worse, they could be broke liberals angry at everyone who has money and a shot at a windfall. None of the negativity here is facing reality. The reality is that adoption and awareness is at an all time high, institutional involvement is at a point where none of us who've been hear since 2010/2011 would have imagined. CBOE throwing in ETF's? BlackRock saying they have large customer interest, but need the space to be more clear and regulated? Fidelity launching Fidelity Digital Asset Services because they have large enough demand amongst the $7 trillion in customer assets under management? Bakkt?

I mean, those things coupled with the fact we've had retracements and 'collapses' this large and larger in the past, gives more reason to the bitcoin proponents than the antagonists.

The FUD spewing people in this thread, don't even have a horse in the race. Just empty claims that they've sold, or that they never even owned. Why devote time to a group then? They're clearly resentful and jealous to take the time to oppose crypto supporters, when they're supposedly not even in the game.

They're going to go broke because the traditional financial markets are on the verge of melting down. The guys dumping all this Bitcoin at a loss are going to go broke because they won't be able to buy back what they borrowed.

I don't care what you think. Basically, I feel sorry for people like you, obediently doing as you're told and about to lose everything. You're going to feel like the biggest, dumbest, most broke loser on the planet within six months. I and other Bitcoiners, on the other hand, will be quite rich. You should be nice to us. People like you need masters, and we will be your new masters sooner than you think.

Because you've been hodling for years and have seen this before a million times.

I predict that in one year, all you losers will be on the verge of suicide because you didn't buy Bitcoin today. I predict that with a high degree of confidence. Monopoly bank money is about to crash in a way that makes yesterday's flash sale on Bitcoin look like a gigantic transfer of wealth from the dumb to the smart.

It will be quite an impressive bear rug when this is all said and done, but the really fun part will be tracking down the manipulators and prosecuting/suing them (likely to include paid trolls -- there are laws about paid Internet activities, especially when multi-billion-dollar markets are involved) kicking them when they're down after Bitcoin has whooped their asses again.

diydude2redditor for 3 months • [score hidden] • submitted 1 hour ago

Different ball game for the reasons you stated and others. Trust me. Reddit trolls will be sued, if only because some very rich Bitcoiners really want to discover and expose the idiots behind this dump. We're going to make a shitload of money off them anyway, but throwing egg in their face after bankrupting them will be icing on the cake.

Did you buy this dip? If not, you'd better get on it or you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

diydude2redditor for 3 months • 1 point • submitted 1 day ago

Oh yeah man, they're going all out. They're not even trying to hide it. It's because they know they're about to go tits up and need to kill Bitcoin before that happens so that there won't be anything to replace them. It won't work. Bitcoin will be over $10K by Christmas, and it will stay there for good (and I'm not even kidding).

diydude2redditor for 3 months • 2 points • submitted 1 day ago

It has real value. The main value is that it works without banks. You probly don't see this yet, which is too bad for you, but you are making it very easy for me to not feel sorry for you, future poor person.

diydude2redditor for 3 months • -14 points • submitted 1 day ago

I believe it's referred to as the first stage of Truth. We will continue to sell our fiat for Bitcoin until Bitcoin prevails. Why? Because we like it. No-coiners are the real bag holders, as will become clear when the "Holy poo poo! Lehman Brothers is bankrupt!" phase of the current financial crisis hits. That won't be too long now.

Not at all, dude. Buy something with Bitcoin. You'll never want to hassle with a credit card again.

Except you're probably a no coiner, in which case I pity you. You'll probably off yourself in a year when you're starving and Bitcoin is the only form of money that still works.

i went to a cashless food stall event over the weekend.




i was really disappointed to discover this just meant that every stall had a portable system that i waved my card over to create a debit charge rather than taking hours to organise payment between various internet processor providers to avoid the delay in updating the world's slowest database with my anonymous noodle purchase.

Could you imagine having your coins stolen by that fat gently caress only to get them back five years later just in time to watch them become worthless again?

This is a little old, but I believe the trustee for the Mt. Gox estate sold enough BTC and BCH in January to essentially have the cash value of the missing coins when people originally lost them. There was a huge concern that because the value had increased so much that if the bankruptcy was simply cash settled instead of return of the coins, their would be massive amounts of BTC left over.

My guess is anyone who can make a supported claim in bankruptcy will walk away with a very nice ROI.

Ohio is officially touching the poop

quote:

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that businesses in the state will be able to register at OhioCrypto.com to pay state taxes with bitcoin beginning this week. The program, which was ushered in by Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, will use third-party service BitPay to process payments.

Mandel is hoping to cement the state as a leader in the adoption of blockchain technology, and the initiative does grant it a kind of legitimacy it has previously lacked.

Real great timing on this

the forms you're required to send to get your stuff back allow to request payment in the form of bitcoins, japanese yen, or us dollars.

payments in all forms are prioritized to those who filed earliest. and mt gox and the courts can only guarantee bitcoin payments out of the small amount of coins the entity still has, whereas those asking in yen or dollars are guaranteed there's enough money there to recover their losses.

so effectively most people are just going to take the cash.

I thought they still had a pretty hefty chunk? Maybe 1/4 of the total? I have to imagine a huge percentage of the overall ownership will fail to file a claim (how much of that was drug money?). If there are more coins than claimants wouldn't the excess be distributed to claimants?
