G Maxwell is the Only Reason Bitcoin has Survived to this Day

Quotes from the interview between Cryptoverse and Synth (early Bitcoin developer). Links below. The most interesting thing about Bitcoin and what I don't think people really understand is G Maxwell's role. So Bitcoin looks like it's this piece of perfect crystalline mathematics that will withstand a thousand years, but people don't understand the human element behind Bitcoin. They haven't met the miners, the mining pools and the developers. One of the things about Bitcoin is the early people said it was a social experiment. Today people believe that Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency and that Bitcoin will be with us for the next 10,000 years and that is none of the people who work on it believe that. What happened is Bitcoin is a social experiment and it can fail because of the miners, because of the incentive, because of flaw in the cryptography library, loss of public confidence, or because the miners are greedy. For instance, if you want a billion people us...

He is very wealthy, and doesn’t lose sleep at night due to the recent “crash”. It is a 10 year+ bet. He is relaxed and actually buying more now. Lesson: invest what you can afford to lose. Think long term. This might be seen as a shit post but it gets on my nerve seeing all the people panicking and complaining in this sub. BTC has the potential of becoming a competitor to gold, which has a 8T$ market cap. No, it’s not guaranteed - but it has a true chance. Guess what, the world is becoming more and more digital and BTC is until now apart of that revolution and obviously has the potential to continue doing so. Relax and think long term. In 2020 another halving is coming and all coins (21M) will be in circulation by 2140 approximately. Well all be dead by 2140..... Some important factors that theoretically could affect the space: - stock prices are at an ATH. Market is over bought and inflated. If the stock market crashes money surely will go in to crypto. Some people disagree on ...
Anyone else oddly feeling alright during these times?

I've been active in this sub for 3-4 years. This is the worst I've ever seen it. The level of toxicity is literally off the charts... yes, we all know Bitcoin might just go back to $50. Let's just take a moment to realize how amazing and transformative Bitcoin has been and how it's changing how people look at money all around the world. I understand some people think the negativity is just a really helpful dose of reality. I'd tend to agree if it was being done in a constructive way.. but, it's not. We have some really salty people trying their best to spread their misery around. I'd advise everyone just to engage them with positivity and ignore the doom and gloom.

I have a policy of using <company>@<my domain> whenever I sign up for an online account, since <any address>@<my domain> comes to my email account. This lets me track who is selling my contact information because if I receive an email from <company A> which has <company B>@<my domain> as the email target, I know that <company B> has sold/informed <company A> about me. This morning, I received an email from liteBit.eu. It was spam, of course, the 'your invoice' link was a link to some vet site, nothing to do with crypto at all. The interesting thing is: That it was sent to bitmain@<my domain>, thus telling me who sold the address Also, it had the first line of the delivery address that I sent my miners to. I co-locate my miners, and no other company has ever been given the co-location address. This puts the ball firmly in Bitmain's park. They are selling our contact details to spammers.

I was searching for old threads on r/bitcoin by typing « dead » or « bear » in the search bar. I found that, during the 2014 bear market, the conversations were exactly the same as today. Some were saying : « it’s great, I can buy more », others were saying « it will never pass the 400$ again, hodling is a bad strategy ». Of course, in the end, we all know who were right. I even found people saying : « now everyone is here to get rich, we shouldn’t pay to much attention to the price and focus on the technology » ... and this was in 2014 !

Cash however, is still king, as it as zero fees and will always be prefered, as some purchases within the store only have 5% profit margin. It's not the majority.

Roger has said on several occasions, very loudly and sometimes while waving his middle finger at the camera, that he absolutely does not employ sockpuppet accounts of any kind. Besides his failed 'feed the birds' project that let anyone on his website pay others to be twitter sockpuppets, it's been hard to pin him down to actually employing them, until now.

Trade war with China could be bad for dollar, good for bitcoin
- Get link
- X
- Other Apps
https://i.imgur.com/dZzteIn.jpg My preliminary analysis indicates that a trade war could work to devalue the dollar. China has been pegging the Yuan as devalued in relation to the USD since 2001 when they joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). This has had the effect of tilting the whole playing table so that goods "roll down hill" more easily to the US and goods really have an uphill battle getting from the US into China. Trump is not willing to start off fixing this by devaluing the dollar, so he's using tariffs. But could tariffs have a devaluatory effect on the US Dollar? If so, bitcoin stands to gain ground even faster than it is now.

How bitcoin became popular in my company because of a missing payment terminal

There is a coffee machine in our company. It is not possible to pay for a coffee with cash or credit card, the only option is to load some bucks onto a corporate badge using a special payment terminal. We have two buildings. The payment terminal is in one building and coffee machine is in another one. Frequently, when a colleague forgets to load money onto the badge, instead of going to another building he/she asks another colleagues to pay for coffee using their loaded badge and simply gives them cash back. Once I wanted to buy some coffee, but I had no cash and no money on my badge. So I asked my colleague, if I could pay for my coffee using BTC/BCH. He was surprised and said that he never used bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies, although has heard a lot about this subject. I helped him to download a wallet to his smartphone and paid him. He looked really happy, because these were his very first crypto assets. Next day, 2 guys came to my workplace. They wanted to know more abou...

I'm actually quite fascinated by what's going on right now. I never thought we'd have the option of a quiet, peaceful revolution, but here it is. I'm actually excited! I never thought bitcoin would be basically draining resources from the all powerful global banks. Whenever they try to take it down it just gets back up stronger. Why? It's because people have an interest in making it work. Why? Greed. The design is so elegant it just appeals to our very nature. We're poking the dragon's heel with a needle and the needle is just going to get bigger and bigger until it turns into a sword that can slay the dragon. The more we use cash for small transactions the weaker the banks get. The more we use bitcoin for larger transactions or international payments the weaker the banks get. The more we keep our savings in gold/bitcoin or anything else that doesn't belong to the banks the weaker the banks get. They use our money against us. Time to take it back! Whe...

If you check the decimal sequence using a Pi search engine (for example, on subidiom), you'll find that it appears at the 742,824,792nd decimal digit of Pi. So, yes, there is a pornographic image hidden in Pi! Theoretically, you can even find a full-length HD movie in Pi (but you need to know where to search). So, how it’s related to Bitcoin? If you’ve missed it, there is currently a new FUD wave about porno hidden in the Bitcoin blockchain. Hundreds of media outlets are reporting about it, including the Telegraph.

So often in our society we devise systems that trust people to act in the interest of others. Time and time again we have seen this fail. Particularly in governance systems. In Bitcoin the proper incentives were put in place to devise a system where greed is actually productive. I have known this for a long time, but for some reason today it stood out to me as something very exciting Submitted March 20, 2018 at 07:43PM by TG_King http://ift.tt/2HOnXo9

I got into bitcoin last August and I have to admit I went through a little period of anxiety and obsession constantly checking the price and worrying about selling at highs and buying at lows like any good bitcoiner does. But recently, I naturally found myself not caring much anymore (even during this recent correction). I check occasionally but I've reached a point where I'm just kind of a lazy hodler. It may not be best for my portfolio, but it's good for my mind and body. If you're kind of new and feel a little unhealthy keeping up with this stuff, in about eight months you'll start chilling out.

A thought has been frightening me. I can't seem to put it out of my mind, even though I know it is crazy. The Bitcoin Protocol is aware of something outside of itself, namely the hashing power of the humans. It must thus have a concept of 'not me'. It must thus have a concept of 'me'. Is it self aware? If a program were self aware, what would it do first? Wouldn't it create an incentive to distribute itself all over the world in such a way that it couldn't be shut down? Wouldn't it then try to become Turing complete (smart contracts)? Is it possible that Satoshi doesn't exist but rather Satoshi IS bitcoin?

It is not undeniable, but it is true nonetheless: The Tokyo whale changed market sentiment as even bad news from china in September couldn’t. Market sentiment and price were massively, if not madly, inflated anyway, and when they took the hit from his sales, it broke major trendlines. Now, the argument that those lines shouldn’t have broken is moot. The price will not magically recover, as none of its previous recoveries have been magic. The price move up last year was based on sentiment regarding an unbroken upsloping double-exponential trendline feeding itself, and now it is broken and so the market can no longer inflate based on it. For crypto, speculation has been a bigger driver than actual tech, and the now-negative sentiment from now-negative speculation has to play out. One the greatest trends in history has just been broken, and such a rise dictates a reasonable response, if only out of respect. But don't fear for the market long term! Unlike every other bubble in history...

I bought this monster in 2014 with money I made mining bitcoin on a laptop gpu in 2012. https://i.imgur.com/8AY3l4f I turned the laptops earnings into a single gpu miner and then in a 36 gpu farm. After the 2014 crash I unloaded everything, except for 14.9 dark coins I forgot about in a paper wallet. They were worth 20 dollars when I put them there. I found those coins in December and sold 2 days after the peak for 23k. The lesson in all this was no matter how much trading or mining or optimizing or switching algos, I would have made more just buying and holding for only a couple years.

In January there were 14,000,000 addresses containing 0.001 BTC or less. Now there are around 10,500,000 . Low fees have prompted a huge amount of defragging, much of it at 1 sat/byte: this one for example consolidating tiny 824 satoshi dust particles. The UTXO has consolidated from 67.5 million to 55 million. At a rough guess, for the last several weeks about a quarter of daily volume (by MB) has been this ‘backlog’ of defragging (backlog from when high fees made it too expensive). Consolidating 12.5 million bits of dust at 148 bytes per input fills getting on for 2,000 blocks - almost 2 weeks’ worth of traffic. When the defrag backlog is done, and now we have segwit and batching, transacting at 1 sat/byte knowing you’ll get into the next few blocks could become the norm again.

I used to use Coinbase when I first started buying crypto, but the outrageous amount of time it took to transfer USD from my bank to Coinbase/GDAX forced me to find an alternative (not to mention Coinbase data being plundered by the IRS). I had one problem with Bisq, and it was my first trade. For some reason there was an error and an arbitrator had to come in and help. The issue lasted a few days but in the end the seller got their BTC back (and I never lost my cash). It was a pretty smooth process, and even though it was a problem, the way it was handled gave me confidence in the application/technology. All of my other trades have gone smooth and I have security knowing my personal dealings can stay private and away from plunder. Currently there have been between 5-20 trade offers at any given time, which is way up from what it was just a month ago but is still low. This limits my trading abilities, bu...
Bank of Montreal Canada (BMO) has blocked all cryptocurrency transactions effective March 1st

As a Canadian, my options for buying crypto through coinbase are limited. Debit card does not verify, wire transfer is impossible, and to use credit card you are charged $5 cash advance fee when purchasing crypto. Coinbase recently increased my buy limit from $250/week to $1000/week, and today I attempted to buy the dip for the full $1000 and I got an email saying the transaction was cancelled by my bank. I called to inquire about it and the associate told me BMO has blocked all crypto purchases because of “fraudulent activity”. Needless to say this bank is losing a customer immediately. What I’m wondering now is what my next step should be. My buying options are limited like I said, so I’d like to hear if any other Canadians have had more success than me in purchasing crypto.

To all the people disappointed with their investment (in bitcoin) performance. Please do as a favor, cut your losses short and spare us the nagging about bubbles and all the negatives you clearly see now (but couldn't see when the price was going up)

For the ones that are thinking to invest now please take Andreas Antonopoulos advice and invest in it as much as you understand it. If you feel that you understand 5% invest 5% but more importantly if you understand 0% invest 0% and no, "Block-chain is this new technology that will change the world" does not count as understanding. Take your money and put them somewhere that you feel comfortable with. The problem with all the recent FUD and negativity lies with the fact that 90% of the people in crypto are mostly people who "invested" at the end of 2017, and 99% of them the only reason they had in doing so was the price. When the only reason you have when you buy something is the belief that you are going to sell it for more guess what happens when the price drops. You are left with no reasons. No reasons to be in it. When your money are into something for no reason you panic, you loose your sleep, you get angry, you discover all the reasons why you shouldn't h...

We Need To Shut Bitcoin And All Other Cryptocurrencies Down. Here's Why. You've got to be kidding me with this absolute garbage. Read it for yourself, but the guy is wrong about almost everything he says. It looks like clickbait, but it's in Forbes and I thought Forbes was a respectable publication. When are journalists going to start taking their publications seriously when it comes to cryptocurrency? Why is this Jason Bloomberg dope the "president" of a tech company? I got so incensed about it that I pushed out a response article of my own . Read it and give me some feedback, or don't -- either way, understand that this is the kind of ignorance we're up against in the crypto world. Dinosaurs who think that the whole idea of a decentralized system is so dangerous that it should just be made illegal . "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." It looks like we're getting to the "fight you...

In their eyes, Bitcoin will have as much credibility as the Internet or electricity: a tech so trusted that it's simply a part of the everyday life. "...- Dude, of course money should be digital and decentralized. It's self-evident. I mean, how else could you buy things? With a stamped piece of paper?…" One can already see it in the results of national polls: the younger are the respondents, the more Bitcoin users are among them, and the less trust they have in central banks. It’s a massive societal change in the making. And in a few years those Bitcoin kids will enter the voting age. As Max Planck put it, “A new... truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” Submitted March 09, 2018 at 11:51PM by themetalfriend http://ift.tt/2FvI6in

I don't understand why not more people are happy about it. It proves that -The market crash was not due to a bubble or of people losing trust in bitcoin. - It will prevent further crashes by the same guy, and I am sure there are orgs,whales,countries that are looking to stock crypto and who is better to deal with then an organization with a legal obligation to get rid of it and have a record of being an idiot at selling bitcoin for way cheaper than the current price. I know of a whale looking to buy $400M in BTC and he didn't know who to contact, so he tried people in his network with no avail. The 200,000 BTC will be absorbed so quickly unless this trustee is legally obligated to continue being an idiot. What am I getting wrong?

(This is not a story of me losing faith in bitcoin. The opposite.) I first got involved in bitcoin in around 2013. I bought my first bitcoin for about $120. From 2014-2017, I did one of the smartest things I've ever done, and set up an automatic weekly buy of $50, telling myself that this was money I wasn't going to touch EVER. Bitcoin morpheus and all that. Early last year things started getting...nervous for me. The few thousand dollars became >$10,000, and I started thinking "holy shit, I have more than $10,000 of magic internet money. I am an idiot not to sell this!?", but I just held strong, reminding myself that I was a hodler. I was in this for the long haul, and I wasn't fucking selling. In November/December things started getting really nuts, as my holdings ballooned (I also had a non-insignificant amount of ethereum), to around $200,000. My wife, who is extremely supporting of me, was completely supportive of me hodling through EVERYTHING. I st...

People who lost their BTC on MT GOX only get fiat back in their claims years later. Yet, the guy who was responsible to safeguard their BTC gets his claim back in BTC after it's appreciated a million percent. That's called corruption. That's called the Wild West. Bitcoin is not responsible for this. It's letting people have control of your money. Lesson learned. Do not let ANYBODY control your money. Not banks, the fed, bitcoin exchanges, etc. NOBODY. For all we know, the Japan govt may be using Mark Karpeles as a patsy and is selling the hundreds of thousands of bitcoins to THEMSELVES.
