Is this a genuine question?  
You can have money on an exchange without having outstanding orders, so that money can be used to make new orders...

Are we literally going to $0

How long is it anticipated that the BCH war will go on? Surely they’re not going to continue making losses and/or selling bitcoin to support that rubbish for long?

Imagine if CW gives up & we’re back at 10k before NYE.

Too much to ask?

You miss the point it does nothing to fix the current monetary system.  The fact bitcoin is designed around having built-in, rent seeking middlemen who you need to ask permission from to move the coins you supposedly own, and then need to pay a ransom extortion fee to, should be a red flag to any non-idiot that bitcoin at it's core does really nothing to alter the evil banking system that currently exists.  The variable of fixed money supply in bitcoin vs infinite fiat supply is pretty much a giant red herring to distract people in this regard.

The real issue at hand isn't the variable of supply, but the ability of people to insert themselves into the middleman position and siphon off wealth while doing virtually nothing, collecting infinite interest, and ownining the entire planet in the process.  The banks do this in their current business model, and both bitcoin and the lightning network are designed the same way.  So nothing really changes in the end.

Physical metals, on the other hand, DO NOT have built-in middlemen like bitcoin and the current banking system do.  If I attempt to spend a bitcoin, I am involuntarily making someone else rich in the process - the designed to centralize, built-in middlemen mining monopoly or lightning node monopoly.  If I attempt to spend a gold, silver, or copper coin, NOBODY else is profiting off my transaction and sucking up all wealth in the universe in the process.

The charges reportedly outline a scheme where the exchange faked 5 million transactions in order to inflate the volume, which reportedly earned them $45 million. It is also suspected that the company used a bot to automatically create large orders and attract new users.

It's never your bitcoin even if you do have the key.  It's not possible to take possession of a bitcoin.  Just like cloud computing, your shitcoin resides in the virtual cloud and you have to pay a ransom fee and ask permission to a transaction validator if he will allow you to do anything with it.  The fact coins are non-fungible, transaction validators are designed to centralize, and transaction validators have the ability to blacklist funds, means the system is nothing but a permissioned ledger, Orwellian piece of garbage similar to the Chinese social credit score system.

This is why the kikes in congress said they will attempt to ban any 'anonymous' craptocurrency.  They know non-fungible coins always lead to their dystopian slave coin goal while fungible ones are just like deleting AML/KYC.  Fungible coins will still be a dystopia anyway, just not as big of one.  It will still centralize into a tiny amount of mining pools the bankers/govt will take control of and take a cut out of every transaction to make themselves permanently richer than everyone else.  It's no different than collecting a steady stream of interest.

Is it illegal to hold gold bullion?
Yes, in this country, from 1933 to 1974 it was illegal for U.S. citizens to own gold in the form of gold bullion, without a special license. On January 1, 1975, these restrictions were lifted and gold can now be freely held in the U. S. without any licensing or restrictions of any kind.

Can the government seize gold?
Gold Confiscation. ... Under current federal law, gold bullion can be confiscated by the federal government in times of national crisis. As collectibles, rare coins do not fall within the provisions permitting confiscation. No federal law or Treasury department regulation supports these contentions.

Did Roosevelt confiscated all gold?
Executive Order 6102 is a United States presidential executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States".

Bullshit post.  The only top line hierarchical form of consensus in the real world is force.  Your shitcoins can be made unspendable or blacklisted by the designed to centralize transaction validators, or rendered unusable by numerous other factors.  They have built-in middlemen and don't remove counterparty risk.  In other words, you do not even have to apply direct force to stop their use or confiscate them such as PoW cultist retards would like you to believe.

Physical metals, on the other hand, DO require direct force to confiscate them.  If you want to attempt to steal them, prepare to die trying to take them.  There's no actual way to attempt to defend yourself against the theft or destruction of your shitcoins.  The direct application of force can be entirely bypassed and you can be rendered broke with no defense precisely because shitcoins have built-in middlemen and don't remove counterparty risk.  

It's designed to centralize and there IS NO NASH EQUILIBRIUM to protect you from anything.  It's a cuck system.

Unlike bitcoin, it doesn't matter who currently owns or runs whatever minining camp in physical gold, silver, or copper.  Metals remove middlemen and counterparty risk, so it doesn't matter at all.  All that matters is what you have in your hand.  As opposed to bitcoin where people think or make believe they actually own a coin when they don't, otherwise they wouldn't constantly be looking over their shoulder to do things like look up mining pool centralization. You never own a bitcoin.  It's not possible to take delivery of a bitcoin.  It's cloud banking just like cloud computing aka horrible.

As for the government, I do not give a flying shit what the Jewish occupied govt says.  The evil cult of Judaism is my enemy.  There are 300 million goyim sleeper cells in the US alone ready to expel the Jew just like they've been expelled from nations 300+ times before.  It's inevitable they are given the boot.

It's pretty abnormal to want to have kids in an overcrowded/overpopulated environment, combined with the fact knowing the world is on the eve of financial apocalypse where you yourself might even have a low chance of survival. The only type of people who are having kids right now are bottom of the barrel R-selection group brown people or just dumbasses and fools in general.  Women generally fall under the category of fool and will want to have kids no matter what, though.  They will attempt to trick you into this act even if it's a dumb idea.

The answer to your post is, there's lots of people who make believe they're rich when they really aren't because they have no way to control or defend their assets against the other 99.9%.  Hell, much of their assets rely on the 99.9% being able to purchase their goods but they can't.  It's just a system of phantom wealth everywhere.  

In the end, the only wealth you have will be what you can hold in your hand and defend with a Natzee Luger, or what the consensus of your neighbors agree is yours.  There will obviously be massive redistribution and pillaging whether people want to believe so or not, or pretend they can avoid it.  No, non-fungible shitcoins are not in any way a benefit over metals in this, especially when your balance and account history is sitting right out in the open for the entire world to view it.  

The so called "elite" put their money in private trusts to try and avoid things like this, confiscations, and turn their account balance and transactions opaque.  A non-fungible shitcoin is a step downwards in that regard.  If the world went Venezuela or simply Joseph Tantor style reduction in complexity and is mostly based around barter or whatever, digital shitcoins are not going to be of any value.  It will be physical metals ruling with an iron fist, so there is no lame shitcoin pumper talking points like "but muh shitcoins are easier to hide!".

You kinda miss the point that the odds of retaining your wealth while it's stored in metals is higher than that of owning a chain of grocery stores or food supply chain.  Without highly effective martial law on every street corner, your grocery store and everything else will probably just be an empty building, so how is that a great investment?  You might even lose possession of the empty building too.  Your entire train of thought requires faith in and effectiveness of martial law.

I'm in silver myself, but anyway, the value of imaginary, centralized, valueless digital tokens is zero, so if you consider gold "the biggest scam in the world", then imaginary, digital shitcoins are the biggest scam in the world squared.  Humans have an actual use for physical commodities.  They have no use for fake, imaginary ones.
