But why he spends so much time reading up on something he doesn't like or has any part of is weird. He needs to do things he enjoys and maybe spend time with his family rather than trolling something he has no part of at all.
He was/ is a strange troll breed that holds none and has never intended to hold any.
Definitely a good sign when you got people like that spending there life trying thwart something like bitcoin.
Bullish

...I see more value in breathable air, wood, water, organic consumables and processing power.. But rocks, metals and precious metals are somewhere at the end of the list for me. ...
I'm probably a little older than you but long ago I realized that the most valuable assets are people.
To paraphrase Freewheelin' Franklin of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, friends will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no friends.
When the shit hits the fan, which would you rather have? $100k in fiat currency, 100 cases of Uzis and ammo, 100 skids of canned food and 100 barrels of drinking water, 100 kilos of Shirak-i-Mazar, or 100 friends with whom you could trust you life? I'll take the friends any day.
I understand you were making a case for clean natural organic commodities versus corporate manufactured crap, but I'm saying that human resources
trump outdo them all.
(It's a sorry commentary that I feel reluctant to use an expressive English verb because of some xenophobic bigoted reality TV personality. I try to keep my nose out of foreign politics but I'll say this: If you want to make America great again, open up Ellis Island again. It's what made America great in the first place.)
Human resources are far more important than natural resources.
I hear you Jimbo. People are creative, innovative, adaptive and when we work together the impossible can become reality.
I understand peoples negative view of peoples though too. The thing is that the destructiveness, selfishness, shortsightedness that we are exhibiting right now isn't our nature like some people think. We humans don't have a specific nature. We are born blank slates and programmed from birth. The system as is stands right now is not very conducive to programming any other than selfish, egotistical, consumer, slaves at the moment. The other beautiful thing about humans is we have the power to change our own programming once we are awakened to this fact. I'm not going to say that its easy though...

It seems to me that if we were in the midst of a giant bubble, this dip would be expected. Why are so many people freaking out, talking about the rally being done?
I think most of the nay saying must be disingenuous.

Happened to be up in front of the charts when the dump dropped. This was exactly me sitting in front of my computer.

Who sold at the bottom?
We are all a bunch of professional traders and investors on here.
I made a bunch of silly trades and eroded a bit of my profit
I should honestly just HODL. Pick the prices I am exiting at and stick to it. My trades are about 90% bad looking at my track record.
It doesn't help that the exchange I use is has pretty bad liquidity.

I bet you Americans reading this have got nothing done today. At least us Brits could work knowing you guys aren't at work until 2pm GMT.
I got a lot done until 2!
I ended up getting into work 45 mins late because of the action this am and since then I have only been watching charts, news feeds, and exchanges non-stop.
I'm lucky I sit in front of a computer for most my work.

As you are so vocal about BU, let me ask you one question:
Would you accept if segwit would be in effect in the following six months and forget about all that BU nonsense at least for some time being? If not, what about segwit + 2M blocks? Or is this all about that you guys insist in that all present and future transactions have to be ALL done in main Bitcoin blockchain?
Why not do this? This should appease everyone am I right, at least does the time being. And from now until when/if we need bigger blocks than 2MB the community should have a good handle on if they are needed or not.
This seems like the most logical objective compromise to me.

Look at the price right now amid all this FUD about the fork and scaling. Imagine if we would have had a solution right now. I have no doubt we would be sitting at 2k$.

Any Canadian traders notice the price on Quadric the last few days?
It used to run a pretty steady 20$ above the Bitstamp/Bitfinex price for as long as I've been paying attention. Yesterday I noticed it was around 20-30$ under and its still is this AM.
Kind of weird, I wonder what changed to cause this.

$1500 In Juni is doable?
$4000
no more than $2000, still problems with block size and China
China problems don't matter anymore

Even though we seem to be experiencing a decent amount of ongoing buying pressure at these prices, I would not be surprised either way about the direction of the closing of today's candle.
I wonder where all this buying pressure is coming from? New people getting into Bitcoin, already Bitcoin enthusiasts that sold at the top and were waiting for sub 1100 prices, or something more nefarious?

Yup. I was wrong. SegWit has cut a deal with BU. We are going to fork. RIP.
everyone hates Segwit2mb
yet there's what, 30% signaling for it?
or am i mistaken?
I assumed what york meant when he said SegWit has cut a deal with BU was the Segwit SF + 2MB HF (Segwit2MB) being proposed. this will produce a Effective 8MB block weight.
everyone hates it.
20MB everyone hates it.
8MB everyone hates it.
BIP101 everyone hates it.
2MB HF everyone hates it.
Segwit everyone hates it.
BU everyone hates it.
UASF everyone hates it.
Segwit2MB everyone hates it.
Why has no one suggested lowering the block size?? Maybe that one will get unanimous support.

Guys just a newbie question, dont blame be. I am not an blockchain expert ^^. What if we accept SegWit and everything is finished and Bitcoin have had their softfork. Is BU dead permanently when SegWit wins? Or stays BU alive in some sort of way for fuhrter scaling?
The only circumstances where I can see the current agitators, apart from Mr Wu who won't under any circumstances, considering Segwit would be if there was an agreed block size increase a period of time after it was activated.
If that was reneged on then the same BU types would start up again the same as before. I don't think we'll ever get Segwit myself without something dramatic happening.
And the scaling thing is a proxy war for power. That desire won't go away.
Thanks. I think we will have SegWit sooner than everyone expects. Simple because people and also miners are driven my money, the highest bidder. Jihan WU and Roger Ver's resources arent infinite so they cant hold on for ever. The miners saw what SegWit implementation did with the price of the altcoins. Its only a matter of time before the miners are going to betray BU and choose for SegWit. Simply because the market wants it. Its all about the money and it looks like BU made a nice offer for the time being.
The only problem is ASIC boost. The price needs to be a lot higher to justify switching when it is already climbing and they are making a 25% bonus by stalling segwit.
You have to think, if they know segwit will bump the price up, they can mine at 25% discount for as long as possible and bank coins, only to dump once segwit gets implemented. How long can they do that for is the question

Quadriga is lagging. Usually 20-30 above stamp, right now its about 30-40 below.
I took advantage of a little arbitrage.
