new ATH at bitstamp 266.0

I suppose comparing to gold or oil would be the answer.

I like it!

Sorry guys. At least the video doesn't start at the beginning.

Me too, Cheers!
 I love this place.

I'm on bitcoin right now!

+1  Well said.  The price movements to me are just fun one way or the other, I don't try to bet on them or predict, just work with bitcoin and explore the seemingly endless possibilities of value for the whole planet.

Nope. it is worth so much more. I am the patient

.

hundreds of thousands since the top. but I am 100% bitcoin for a long time. Since the beginning I am still up. Glad to see the point of entry is getting affordable lately for newcomers.

...and it's gone

Not bold enough to buy up the price, but enough to get in while the getting is good. Smart money doesn't buy to move up the price like crazy until they are full of whatever they are after. In this case, XBT.

bitcoin has been simultaneously in all four stages as soon as it started to gain some value. It has been ignored, ridiculed and fought against... yet it keeps winning, growing, expanding, and developing.

upswing to about 460 incoming over next couple of hours.

All time high!

You aren't alone!  

So far my prediction is closer. I give it a few more hours before 455-460 on stamp and it'll hodl there in that range for a bit. I think we've seen the last of the downward pressure for 12-24hrs.

420 will be tested within 12hrs. It might be briefly breached but 420 is very strong resistance and will HODL!

Brace yourselves!

So true. The trick (and the hard part for many) is knowing which market you are in at any given time.

The current bears are not real bears... they are former bulls, perma bears, uber bears and "end of the world-ers" . It's the real bears with all that fiat, ready to buy once they get the signals. The real bears sodl long ago.

You need more than that???  TO THE MOON!

500 BTC sell @ 0.410

EDIT 620 BTC

What concentration? I really don't see it. The vast majority of hashrate is individual miners in pools and they can switch pools whenever they feel like it. The industrialization of mining will not mean any further centralization other than possible near misses at certain times throughout the early adoption cycle. Asicminer had 30% plus of the hashrate briefly but lost that status and even with Gen 3 will likely not come close to that again with a projected 1600Ph/s

bear trap incoming!!!

Looking at the 2y log chart on stamp there are almost identical features in the price movements between Apr13 bubble top to late June and ATH 'til today. The longer view may hold some clues but also may obscure the finer details of price movements. Pretty cool though.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wy1693hljko9qct/june2013log.png

No... far from it, but I'm interested in learning more. I'm a very early adopter who is mostly holding cold storage but without reason to panic sell even in deep, sustained drops. Happy trading!

That is a fantastic record so far. Congrats. My experience with bitcoin has been one of getting a (sometimes costly) education, but wouldn't change it for the world..

Next stop... fiat will take us somewhere between  56 million kilometers and 401 million kilometers. Fiat is unlimited. Welcome to scarcity.

Looking at all time log charts on MtGox and also last 2 year log charts on Bitstamp. You don't see a pattern there? You don't see how the past may indicate the future? Really?

"Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success"  Yet almost exclusively posts in the wall observer thread. Seems legit. Why even bother talking to this person? I have yet to glean one useful bit of information from even one of his posts.  

lol!

Don't worry , bitcoin will do what it is going to do with or without Jorge. Bitcoin doesn't give a shit.

Not only buy zone, but most likely the last time you will get coins for this low price.

dump failure!

I see very little downside for the price for the next two months with a possible slight and brief exception. We (most likely IMO) are going sideways and up... get ready for rocket moon bull trains on mars by end of June at the latest.

People start to buy in tepidly at first and gain confidence as time goes on and price goes sideways and slightly up for a while. Soon, bad news doesn't seem to affect price at all and any good news seemingly shoots the price up with ease.

Yup, I see 494, maybe 493 on bitstamp's horizon.

So here is your last chance to get coins for <500.00

You will never see bitcoin prices much lower than this again. It might go slightly lower and may even retest the last low at around 350.00 but this is buy zone if you haven't already. You can quote me on this and thank me later when we are at 10,000 plus in a few short months. China is only an excuse and mars can easily be reached without her.  Don't believe the hype.

OK, now that is ridick 

close but 435.00 has not been crossed yet.

Ok there we go

Within a few days we'll be over 520.00  New highs on the mid term horizon.

It's just my best guess. Call it intuition. It is just a stupid prediction based on pattern recognition and no where near as sophisticated as most of the TA guys here (although likely just as accurate). Don't trade based on my predictions please.

No trains yet, we aren't ready for another month and a half.  Get 'em loaded up though.

Ebay is big news. How many other retailers will jump on board after that endorsement?. That combined with the wave of atms, new exchanges, investment funds, investment into bitcoin business, etc. will make a big wave soon. It's only a matter of time.   

Last year he was kinda thinkin bout it, this year:

 "When asked by a shareholder about bitcoin’s potential role in global trade, Donahoe responded by saying that the digital currency “will play a very important role in the future”, eCommerce Bytes reports.

While Donahoe said he couldn’t envision exactly how bitcoin could become a more mainstream technology, he suggested that eBay is considering direct involvement with the digital currency, saying:

    “Exactly how that plays out, and how we can best take advantage of it and enable it with PayPal, that’s something we’re actively considering. It’s on our radar screen.”"  -Quoted from Coindesk article.

Crazy, sounds kind of like opening a btctalk account to participate in a wall observer thread while carefully avoiding to actually make any trades.

The biggest FUD of all time for wall observers. The price of bitcoin will remain flat. 

Already happened.  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bots-were-responsible-bitcoin-stratospheric-142709543.html

It isn't going to have the effect you were hoping for though...

That's 35.00 when considering all 5000 friends.

With questions like that, I'd recommend getting out of the wall observer thread and start taking an academic interest in bitcoin.

Great stuff!

None of that is supported by this recent study.  http://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.0268v1.pdf

Despite what some said before this is not old news, it is likely to have a significant effect toward adoption levels.

How to Disincentivize Large Bitcoin Mining Pools

http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/06/18/how-to-disincentivize-large-bitcoin-mining-pools/

Yup, this is nothing. Granted, mining 2 BTC per day with 2 Gh/s was kinda fun.

Volatility gets people excited. It's excitement that draws most people to the whole bitcoin thing. Even people like Jorge can't look away.

Good point. Once people find out en masse that altcoins are all shit and you can't go back to the super early adopter phase of bitcoin there will be a large move back to btc.  The ones who realise it first will profit the most. 

meteoric rise is imminent

They are log

BUY!

Pretty sure that bear is just sleeping. No metaphor intended.

 

At over a half a pound, that'd be a tough pill to swallow without crushing it and mixing with some strawberry jam or honey. 

BUY BUY BUY!!!

I can have it delivered for 10,000 btc   

There is no evidence that Jorge was there or even has balls. I'm skeptical.

It would be absolutely hilarious to see that wall get bought up in one fell swoop.

It wouldn't be a smart move on the part of the thief.

Yes, that is on the menu tonight with beet greens and a nice spaghetti squash.

 

Fiat's not worthless, but it is worth less considering it's tanked against the Bitcoin for 5+ years now. The greater trend since inception (if we want to talk about timelines) is logarithmic up. Bitcoin is following a pattern like every other greater trend that happened to catch on to mainstream acceptance. A smaller group of hardcore enthusiasts that seem like cultists to everyone else because of the passion they exhibit are a crucial feature that precedes every trend I have ever seen or been a part of. Serial detractors are every bit as obsessed with bitcoin as the supporters are and spend large amounts of time churning through the forums. Critics and skeptics serve a necessary purpose to help build it so it works better or to head off unforeseen potential problems.  Hyperbitcoinization is well under way.

It only bears repeating because most people still don't get it. They are too focused on short term price action and miss the big picture.

Number one reason price is floating sideways and no one is ready for choo? Uncertainty over regulation in the US. There is uncertainty right now because of bitlicense and once that uncertainty is solved there will be a bigger rush to claim a piece of the blockchain for the larger players. Even if that news is largely perceived as negative, at least it will be settled and that will provide confidence. There is a critical mass of adoption eventually where it won't really matter and centralized regulation will be impossible. Until we get there, this is the way it needs to play out.

B/bitcoin has excelled to this point (market cap) with nothing but resistance from the banks, media, liberal economists, and trolls. It also continues to absolutely dominate all of it's competition in altcoins by a long shot. If you search the keyword "bitcoin" for recent news.. you get lots of hits, search "ripple" and it's crickets chirping time.  Bitcoin is king of crypto and I expect it will remain so. That doesn't mean there isn't some room for others for a little while.  

"Back suggested that developers should keep in mind that competing systems will need to replicate bitcoin's network effect, something he said would be a challenge to any project seeking to replicate aspects of what bitcoin's technology can provide.

"Once something takes hold and gets going, it makes more sense to focus on and build around and on top of that, and we feel that sidechains are the best way to do that," he said.   "

As far as the wall observing goes, I'm bullish as fuck with a long term focus.

Gentlemen!?.

What if 10,000 held and we had stability?

Strange activity on the walls and in the thread. Unexplainable

Well, what has longer term benefits?

What we need is a blockchain for the wall observer thread. It could be 51% attacked and posts could be deleted but it would be expensive in hash power.

You need to stop letting your wife tell you what to do.  

250 x $360.8 = $92.450 current USD value in bitcoin. I'll bet you got less than that for the ones you sold. You would've been better off keeping your btc till today.

Sorry about the decimal, it was supposed to be a comma.  Your words "insistence" and "nagged" make it seem as if she may have very strong influence in your trading decisions. I understand it is tough to make decisions on trading and hindsight is easy. As long as you had fun and are swimming in the new pool with the wife it's all good.



EDIT: LOL @ grappa_barricata

He's not the best but this forum is fertile ground right now with a possible shift in market sentiment after a long bearish year. He does work at it very diligently, posts a LOT with more than full time job hours spent doing it, and is mildly entertaining at times. There will always be people who are easy to provoke with emotional reactions to someone who is willing to admit they just have a strong impulse for schadenfreude and do it for the "lels". http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141126094055.htm

Not coal but this Christmas will definitely be leaner than last. Luckily, no need to dip into the wallets for it.

I have no idea why Citi would have anything to say on this action at all. Why are they voicing an opinion?

The comments are more worth reading than usual.

That "pyramid scheme element" is really just incentive. Without work done to produce the unit and incentive (expectation of greater future value) to participate, why adopt? No coin will adopt to mainstream without incentive and an initial hardcore (fanatical) fan base to keep it strong until critical mass is reached. Ripple shills (meaning the ones who post in the bitcoin wall observer thread, not the ripple wall observer thread) are so excited to pronounce ripple's big  (p)/(j)ump in value and at the same time proclaim volatility is a problem. You can't have it both ways.

Competition is a good thing for bitcoin and it won't deserve to survive if it can't smash the competition. I'm confident it will

Because I looked through your recent post history for the reasons that bitcoin was flawed you mentioned (since you didn't give a link). Pretty much every post had something pro ripple in it. Then you come here to disparage bitcoin in the wall observer thread to say something else will displace it.

The article is certainly more uninformed spin than substance. For any of us who have been around long enough, we're getting pretty used to it from the media by now.  The situation has actually dramatically improved more recently.

Don't worry, bitcoin is chugging along just fine. Price and then media attention will lead the next big adoption wave at some point. People really need to have a longer term vision and manage their expectations.

Tree tirdy tree, point tree

At some point, they are going to want to buy. Not sure when, but it is coming.

What a bunch of overly emotional pussies many bitcoiners are. If you are holding and feeling fear right now, that is the plan. The myriad bears and trolls in here are part of the scam to get your coins cheap. It's time to hold and buy like never before with money you can afford to lose. How do you imagine it felt to buy at 1.99 in 2011? Do you think it was scary back then to buy then when similar sentiment was running high? No one is going to get rich easy, it will take balls of steel (right Jorge? )

< 4B Market cap is peanuts. The concept is being more proven as time goes on and the network is expanding with buying bitcoin being less and less of a risk as time goes on.  We are very close to bitcoin 1.0  

I just read a whole page without an ignored or a bear in sight. Are they exhausted yet?

I'm not complaining.

Yep, that's pretty much what I meant by an ignored. I don't use the ignore hammer on many people and like well reasoned bearish posts but ya gotta draw personal boundaries or the demons will run amok.

pwned

That's ridiculous but I've heard it repeated many times. People will just switch to a better currency or money to trade. We aren't going to regress to beyond the retard age just because paper's true value is discovered.

Of course people are going to make bad investment decisions no matter what the asset is. Don't blame bitcoin for some people's bad decisions or relationships.

Meh. Em Tee Gox was an exchange that was missing a lot of BTC and it only caused a couple of sudden drops with a market that expected those btc to make it to the remaining exchanges to sell. The mycoin.hk thing will likely have little effect on the market because, as I understand it,  it's an obvious fiat ponzi scheme that merely used bitcoin as part of the ruse. Ponzis are already illegal so no further legislation needed.

It's interesting that the BTER hackers grabbed the BTC but left the altcoins alone. Hmmn..

The time to start being optimistic in order to manage expectations would be >400$ and even after that I think it will be months before the real rocket train pics start to appear.  

Until then, just buy (with money you can burn without being hurt) and hold in cold storage.

They are just a way to get  bitcoins from people who are looking to go back in time to be an early adopter for the next coin (which won't materialize).

In order to appreciate bitcoin you need to have an understanding of economics, networks and their effects, and at least a working knowledge of the ins and outs of the code and cryptography.  There are a lot of traders who only know charts or finance, techies who want to build a better coin, or economists who only know Keynesian macro who have opinions seen through those filters. I do think there is room for some alts to have a smaller role in the future but good luck toppling BTC network.

Vote with your own money, it's your choice.

That's what I was thinking too, being fungible is one of the desirable qualities of money. Compare bitcoin to other money systems or networks, not plush toys or hockey cards. You have to be really reaching to make any type of comparison and anyone who does reveals their current level of understanding.

Yes, those are legitimate challenges to overcome in using bitcoin for remittances. The fact is though that there are people looking to overcome those challenges and provide a valuable service. It is undeniable that this is an industry ripe for disruption with a lot of profits to chase. Wider adoption is needed in order to get us to a point where btc-btc remittances are all you need. You don't even need a third party for that.

Anyone else notice that NOTLAMBCHOP is an obtuse tool? A jerk off like that should just do us all a favor and terminate it's own pathetic and hollow existence?

I'm not angry like you always accuse your voluminous detractors of and it really won't bother me if bitcoin price goes lower...even single digits. I'm a hodler and a bad trader but the potential upside is fucking enormous for holding bitcoin. I'm willing to take big risks. No one is getting more of my coins (that I spent cpu power to acquire   ) until I'm fabulously wealthy. I just think you suck and I feel really sorry for your family and all the others who have wasted their precious life force looking at your manic keyboard shitflow. Please eat a cyanide pill or pull a Robin Williams, death isn't so bad and life is troublesome.

P.S. ..and no, I haven't been reading your posts lately Lamby. You are eternally ignored and dead to me but I do see your handle all over the place during regular business hours still and it's just pathetic. Sad really. If you've seen a few of your useless posts and constantly regurgitated images, you've seen 'em all. On second thought, as far as killing yourself, I am pretty sure you could turn it all around and become a valued, productive member of society again with a little hard work and perseverance.

 

What do you expect? When you walk into a BITCOIN forum and start slinging shit and preaching the virtues of paper money like any common Mormon, Jehovah's witness, or slickster scumbag salesman. What else would you expect Mr. Fonzerelli? I'm not in the "fiat is fucking great" forum am I?

I don't respond this way to legitimate discourse on bitcoin and welcome contrary opinions or evidence.

What mess? Can't you read? I'm up thousands of percent. Three years ago I was only dreaming of 100$ bitcoin. I've been through many of these cycles and I embrace them. I don't always know what the market is going to do but my wealth, knowledge and life experience has grown exponentially along with the price in a short time. Life is good.  

Bitcoin has been crashing upward against fiat since inception and I do rest assured in a bit of my own schadenfreude in knowing how butthurt all you trolls were that you didn't get in when I did.    

Big candles are exciting! Whoever is going to try it had better have a strong stomach for risk!!! Manbearwhales only need apply.

NotHatinJustTrollin you are also obtuse and now ignored as well. I don't care when you got in. I know I got in much, much earlier because I was ahead of the curve in many ways and still am. You are here too much and protest way too much to be doing for anyone's benefit but your own. Suck it bitch. Come back when you can logic  

Calling people out for sucking has nothing to do with sensitivity. You are obviously a bitcoiner too or you wouldn't be here trying to talk your book.

Who else were you talking about? I see no one else in recent postings who could be falsely construed as a "sensitive bitcoiner". Most seem to be enjoying the show and the dump has been frankly pathetic so far. C'mon bears, YOU CAN DOOO EEET!@@

No, I didn't. I must not have as much time to view all the posts as you

BTW, How's that dump coming along

No, he's expressing incredulity at the ultimate sucking of some of the trollish beings that flock here here like you.

I think you just automatically assume that everyone one here has lost money because they bought in within the last year and is afraid of the big bad bear.

If those who already bought higher didn't already sell earlier, the most logical thing to do now would be to either sell and walk away for good, or hold and buy more at the point where we see a clear reversal of the bear trend. It's not clear that the reversal has happened yet but the price has been very stable for the last 30 days.  

I'm not a bull although sometimes I get carried away thinking the value will rise before it's time. I'm a full fledged member of the Bitcoiner Society Of Distinguished Gentlemen and Ladies. We don't give tribute to animal spirits being the pragmatists that we are.

Thanks for illustrating

The beartrolls are scammers of the highest order. Worse than neobee or a host of other failed or scammy bitcoin ventures and are just as fraudulent in trying to scare emotionally or financially weak people out of their coins. At least the outright scams asked nicely instead of using fear or emotional engineering.  They lie about their objectives and try to obfuscate the truth by making it seem like their motivations for posting are out of moral duty to save fools from losing their money when in fact they are not ethical agents, just greedy book talkers or seriously confused dipshits

The short term price movements mean little in the face of what bitcoin has done in a very short time. Amateur hour is pretty much over. Stronger hands that are capable and ethically motivated are gearing up the engines and the real crooks are looking to game or exploit this experiment (which is expected and necessary).

However bad the first wave has been (Hello MagicalTux!), they did bootstrap a whole transparent world value ledger and multibillion dollar value economy to this point and must be lauded for their fearlessness of living on the lunatic fringe that also happen to be the spearhead of innovation. Here's to the ones crazy enough to think they can change the world.

TL;DR for newbies : Trollbear trader scammers want to cheat you out of your chance of a decent future stake in the most exciting technology/economy shift since the internet itself.  Don't be stupid and put yourself at risk in the short term markets and risk another gox, wait for legitimate and secure exchanges or even better just spend them directly when it is ubiquitous. Do this instead FTW!:

1. Buy as much as is comfortable and healthy for your budget at as close to the bottom of  long term bear cycles as possible.
 
2. Put duplicate private keys in cold storage in multiple safe locations and forget about them for a while.

3. learn and grow as an individual learning about economics, ethics, business, blockchain tech, etc. and develop your self discipline so when you have a lot of wealth you can use it wisely instead of what often happens to lottery winners, successful thieves or scammers, or other instantly rich, soon to be poor folks who often get very sick from not knowing how to handle all the stresses and temptations of managing wealth.

4. Have a long term vision and set goals for it, filling in the short term steps and details along the way.

5. Profit and enjoy your wealth and life with people who love you properly, building good things to exchange and taking on challenges to the benefit of yourself and your fellow humans.
 

Aggressive expressions like that when confronted by the light of reason are often a result of sexual dissatisfaction or extreme butthurtness. Sometimes it is a lashing out due to feelings of powerlessness. Which is it for you??

Thank you Lythos, I'm mostly pretty quiet but just felt a need to use my words in the trollbox today to express myself more assertively in the face of all the negative trolololoing. Moon? We're shooting to explore another dimension, glad to have you along. 

That's the most important thing and something no one can take away short of giving you brain damage or the like. Even those who bought at 1000.00 are learning something valuable about their decision making abilities.

Thanks, glad you found value in it. It's nice to see you are managing your risks comfortably, it makes for a much more enjoyable ride.

Interesting posts, it's stuff like this I come here to read.

Gotta agree with rolling. Miners are among the most optimistic of the bulls as a group.

3600 isn't that many when you consider how many individuals those are distributed to. Most only get a tiny sliver of coin from each block and they all have different motivations. There are far, far more than 3600 coins that change hands on a daily basis.

It's a factor and when you consider that the biggest pressures will be on the biggest operations who are financially weak and vulnerable to default. There are many miners who look at mining as a way to buy bitcoins without the risk and expense of mickey mouse exchanges and hacker/counterparty risk.

I was GPU mining 2 bitcoins a day on good days in late 2011 with a bitcoin price around 2$ @ 2 gh/s @1200watts of power at a comfortable profit loss. I'm glad I just kept those coins and didn't only look at the short term profits when deciding to continue. What helped was living within my means, a long term vision, and having reserve capital for expenses during lean times.  

Maybe but it was mostly having a good macro understanding of what I was dealing with despite it being a trollfest in here with horrible daily news, laughing something awful members trolling and hacking the forum and proclamations everywhere that bitcoin was dying or dead and going to pennies a piece. I was buying when the blood was in the streets.

Fools will laugh at what they don't understand if you just keep on keeping on despite it and chuckle to yourself as you win. My 2$ coins are now worth almost $300 a piece where I live. Who's laughing BTCest now? Not the ones who said it was a joke then.



A socialista from 2011 tries to rally the team to trick bitcoiners out of their holdings and laughs endlessly when they are robbed. Nice

It was very easy, no skimming required, just search function. I'm obsessive about some things but not you, don't flatter yourself.

Here's my thoughts at a similar time:

Good to know. You are quite the trickster huh?

G'night forum.

It has it's moments but I don't think other's real pain or loss is funny really. There are lots of good things to laugh about in life and I enjoy a lot of that. It seems somewhat sick to laugh at certain things and there are some interesting notions on the psychology of schadenfreude lately.

http://www.livescience.com/17398-schadenfreude-affirmation.html

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/323/5916/937.abstract

But, carry on and don't let me tell you what to enjoy.

No, there is one on that list that does deserve ignoring by me at least (and many others claim to as well). Notlambchop shits the threads up at a feverish pace catapulting violent statist fiat delusional propaganda here in a dedicated bitcoin forum in almost every thread possible trying to scare the bejeezers out of anyone who might listen. That does not constitute "A check on hyperbole and dare I say... euphoria"

A check on hyperbole would be reasonable and polite discourse, not that.  I probably should ignore more people than I do but I reserve that privilege for the truly daft and insane and don't even want to glance at their cringe worthy and unfunny shit anymore.

BTW, notlambchop pulled a hall monitor move to get a post with this image removed by the moderators recently for being "off topic". butthurt much? Lel indeed!



 Shameful indeed.  



Me too on the NAP Billybob..it's revenge of the nerds part two !

Thanks Ramsay, you are usually so mean a boss on tv

  Ok, carry on then. Different strokes for different folks   Edit: there was one pic notlambchop posted that made me lol so I will give him that.

P.S. Are you truly a newbie or have you been around for a while? You seem to be quite reasonable and knowledgeable about the forum.

Great to hear Bitchick, I missed your reply in the scuffle earlier and don't only want to waste energy on that when there are better contributing members like yourself to respond to. Sounds like a plan for success for you and proof for any who would question it that there are plenty of longer term bitcoiners with level heads and a moral compass who may not be as vocal as the assclown posse are.

You can't even divide it up between genders like that, and I think BJA is a little off base there. We all have a relatively wide range of biological individuality (Except for maybe the Winkelvii )  Women tend toward different types of intelligence and other qualities than men as a group for whatever reason and we seem better off as a network for it. Women seem to tend toward social, emotional, and creative intelligence and men tend toward logical, rational, and physical intelligence but those are only tendencies and, again, wide ranges can be expected in any population.  Intelligence is a tough quantitative analysis to make and the tools are still crude at best.

It is an often repeated myth to say that all bitcoiners are men, white, etc. etc.  It's a pretty diverse group but of course the bell curve does lean heavily to the white male geek stereotype to the delight of naysayers who use that as some sort of racist, sexist argument against bitcoin tech. I reject that thinking and think some people should just get a life and go do something productive instead. 

  Case in point, it was only a small, hardcore group of men who were the initial enthusiasts for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. They were so hardcore, they would go train and fight for next to nothing in pay, fans would travel for miles to see the shows, etc.  UFC almost was shut down and experienced many times when either regulatory bodies or (John McCain) politiciansa called for bans.  There were less women in support of it than there is for bitcoin and most opposed it as violence.  Cooler heads prevailed though and now we are at a point of mass adoption where Rhonda Rousey is one of the biggest stars and draws of the show. She beautiful, intelligent, and tough as fucking nails. A good role model for empowering women IMO.








UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world now and that type of event only happened in Brazil a little over 20 years ago when I first found out about it and started watching and training MMA.  Bitcoin shows many of the same developments as the UFC in its early adoption on the way to mainstreaming.

I agree completely. Moderation here really sucks and it's why the place has run amok with scumbags and chased away valued postings.  I've had the moderators remove one of my posts with this image in it, because someone was butthurt and didn't like it   I wonder who that was?









When I tried to return the favor to NotLambchop by reporting one of his despicable, slanderous, trollposts here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg10550381#msg10550381

I reported it hours and hours ago and yet it remains up along with all the other off topic crappy shit this cretin and his troll sock knob-gobblers post. Incredible! What does it take to get some decent moderation and participation to make this most popular thread more bitcoin friendly without all the shitfest?  I like contrary opinions and views and love a good laugh but this is ridiculous to see on the front page of bitcoin talk. 

Agreed. I like this place as raucous as it can be in the best of times and hate to see it get crapped up so badly by a few malcontent bridge dwellers and possibly paid operatives.

 

My google isn't broken brah. I know what it means. Pedos will be pedos no matter whether bitcoin exists or not. As a matter of fact bitcoin is more likely to get them busted like Ross Ulbrict than save them from good police work. The association you are implying is unfair and slanderous to bitcoiners as a group and you know it. You are intentionally trying to make these types of associations repeatedly in lots of threads and have been for a long time. You can't take the heat when it is turned on you and run to the hall monitor when you get pwned. Fuck off.

I ignored you without using the button for a long time until it just became sickening to see your carefully crafted yet misguided accusations and insults towards "bitcoiners" everywhere. Then, I used the ignore button and still do except to see what you are responding to my posts but of course I still see tons of quoted crap that appears in other's post. You are absolutely prolific in your trolling during business hours and it's really ruining the place and setting an example for the newbs. Your ability to get my harmlessly retaliatory image removed by mods is remarkable and it's one reason why you are getting my full attention and wrath now.

Sure, it was probably just a moderator with not much else to do that picked my picture out of the shitstorm of crude and demeaning posts to delete on their own initiative. Right

I think we all have a pretty good idea of who's lying

There is but they seem to have an anti-bitcoiner agenda by deleting posts from long time members in good standing and trust and upholding trollish slander from nefarious neer-do-wells.  I wouldn't be surprised if the sock trolls ARE the mods in this case.

I'd like to see it improve but until moderation is at least honest it ain't gonna happen and I will torch this place to the ground by whatever means neccessary if it isn't already there.

Strange huh?

It isn't a theory, hypothesis maybe, but thanks for testing. I just said I wouldn't be surprised, that's not an affirmative statement.

lel, someones got their panties in a bunch. Can't take the heat huh?

Oh quit it with feigning some sort of desire to help anyone but yourself you greasy fiat salesman.

Incredible! What is the reason for this? It'd be great to have an explanation from Blitz.

Nice organic and healthy 3% rise this past 7 days. Looking good bitcoiners!

Did someone say something or was that a fart?  

NotLambChop, You are on my ignore but I'm sure by the turbo posts I'm seeing from your handle, you are frothed up in a hot mess again. Don't you think it's time to take a break, maybe puff a jay and just chill? I worry for your health little buddy. Maybe go back to school and try a new career? It's not that important what people say about you on the internet to get so worked up. I suppose you could just put me on ignore, but it's hard isn't it?

An influential, impassioned, and highly intelligent bitcoiner is working to bring the light of reason to all things concerning child abuse. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMNj_r5bccUwZY7RCZnS2e5-vjaA7wSNw

But this doesn't play into the scam that ElectricMucus, NotLambChop, et al is trying to play on unsuspecting newb enthusiasts to get their coins. If you were wondering, that's why they won't mention him. Possibly they were victims of child abuse themselves and it has unfortunately promoted a deep sense of schadenfreude as we can see. I feel bad for you poor chaps, don't take it out on bitcoin.

I'll bet Rhonda can cook too. I'd marry her in a heartbeat and I KNOW she could still beat your firefighting redneck ass any day.

Seriously though, I don't think you understand sports or MMA very well when you make those statements. Rhonda was an Olympic medalist judoka... and highly decorated world gold medalist. She is an athlete of high caliber and is now a complete MMA fighter who would knock the absolute fuck out of most tough guys in every city if they weren't near her skill level and training like a beast. Even male MMA fighters of her weight category would have a slim chance unless they were also of her caliber athlete.  

Big local tough guys with little training do horribly against much smaller UFC fighters as you can see here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9JpeKKBScA

So why would it be any different for her?

She is exceptional though and many women do like to cook, iron, be soft and feminine, and suck a boner like there's no tomorrow. I really like that in a woman as well.

I know you are likely busy Jorge but didn't get any comment yet. I enjoy reading your posts and you do have some insights worth more than a cursory glance. Could you see the parallels between the adoption of the UFC to mainstream and the mass adoption of our favorite "coin"? Maybe you have been looking at this thing more from a computer science aspect and missing out on the social phenomena?

Didn't watch the movie, I have little patience for Hollywood shit. I wouldn't call you for a fire though, I'm a long ways from you.

P.S. Who would someone in your area call if they were attacked by ninjas while the house was on fire? Not you?

Strange. I can confirm and have proof that moderators ARE removing content when it criticizes NotLambChop.

What do you know for sure or are you guessing?

Sounds shifty as fuck. What kind of degenerates are these people anyway?

It's silverfuture thanks, and don't get too carried away with conspiracies there buddy.

Don't gamble with more than you can afford to lose!

Edit ^^^ That's the one. The CP obsessed lambsock is really really grasping at straws of attention for survival.


Fair enough, you know you've been put to pasture when you have tenure and the best things in life are Sumo and chillin' with the Mother-in-law. Amirite?

Likewise  

I hope he doesn't try to make a competing alt to bitcoin. Possibly bullish for bitcoin in the short term but I think that would be bad for Greece in the longer term when considering this: http://www.joecoin.com/2015/02/crypto-20-and-other-misconceptions.html

Put that woody away!  They aren't no-coiners. They are working scammers.


NotSheepDog

Thanks , Scammers really bug me for some reason 

Yes they can but it is inconsequential and has no net effect when the feedback is from known scammers with untrusted feedback.

I did and had a good laugh at your cringe worthy desperation.

Please stop embarrassing yourself. It's ugly to watch.

Sometimes pure gingivitis leak out of the cracks, through the quote function and stink up the room from time to time. I apologize for any recent leaks I may have caused.

The price, she's going steady and boring. I like it.

I had a super day today and got some awesome news as far as career advancement goes and met some important local contacts through my network. Went on a nice nature hike in the sunshine... it felt great to be alive, one of those peak moments.

Traders only care about the value going up or down, why would they comment on flat prices? It just doesn't give them the adrenaline pump that they crave.

Unlike other commodities like oil?..oops. Or maybe stocks? ...oops.  How about fiat oops Wiemar, oops Zimbabwe

The nice thing about bitcoin is it's slow steady growth with it's violent upswings and resultant bear slides whenever the market gets a little cray cray. This provides opportunities abound for anyone with the vision to see and a stomach for risk. The next wildly kooky market action is coming, but probably not soon. Patience is a virtue.

Only zero is death and anything more than that eventually means moon and beyond. Critical mass right before widespread mainstreaming is almost always a volatile and uncertain time in network adoption. We're there now and the past year has been great for bitcoin. One thing for sure, 2015 is going to be an interesting year for bitcoin watchers.
 

Who is LambChop?

Good Morning Gentlemens!! The mood is delightful in here today.

Echo chamber? Trolls? Tides turning?   You don't say!
