Recently Coinbase has been engaging in various promotionals to lower fees and increase their volume, so it should be no secret NOR conspiracy that their volume would likely increase, in part, because of their promotional efforts.

Kids say the darnedest things.

Why don't you engage a bit about the point that you are attempting to make rather than merely employing a patronizing tone?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes    Tongue

'Engage a bit'? You mean that huge red spike that pops out of nowhere to tower over everything else ain't enough?
Must've been pretty awesome 'promotional efforts,' like 'Trade one 1 BTC, get 10 BTC free!'

Couldn't they artificially pump up the price so all that mining hardware that must have cost fortunes,
can pay for itself as soon as possible?

If they could, why didn't they do it before their hardware became unprofitable, to simply boost their profits?
And why would anyone invest in a virtual asset which could be so easily manipulated?

Because the mining gear that accounts for the 220 mil GH/s network hash rate increase, came online only recently. Probably early
november.That investment needs to brake even fast. There is clearly demand out there, even at these prices but not to sustain it with out China's "help".
So what you're saying is until now, miners could afford to make less money, but now that they're stuck with all the new HW, they have to get serious? Is that the gist of it, or am I missing something?
Chinese exchanges are in business to make money. Miners going broke doesn't add any new tools to the exchanges' manipulation arsenal. If they could manipulate the price, they're already doing it.

You are coming off as a conspiratory-ridden troller, and really not someone who wants to engage in any kind of meaningful way regarding bitcoin.

If you really sold most of your coins at $450, like you said, and you do not believe in bitcoin, then get the fuck out of here and take your profits and invest in something more secure, in your opinion.

What are you talking about? What conspiracy? What $450? What's wrong with you?

Edit: OK, remember you now.

They cannot sustain price manipulation for prolonged periods of time.But by simulating these parabolic rises they're hoping to create enough FOMO so that they could unload slowly on the market at highest possible price for as long as possible, now that they have ROI as a reason.Hash rate was steadily increasing even when the price was in the low 200's, so Chinese miners were profitable even then, otherwise they wouldn't have had a reason to invest huge amounts of money in these new 16 nm Asic chips.

Again, the scenario is exactly like any other in which more efficient gear comes on the market. This is exactly how mining is meant to work.

Let's play out this grossly oversimplified scenario:
You are A, one of the two miners (A and B) mining Bitcoin. A and B are mining at the edge of profitability when new, more efficient gear comes on the market.
Your options:
1. Don't buy new gear.
    1a. B does buy new gear, the difficulty goes up, you're out of business.
    1b. B also doesn't buy new gear, you both stay in business.
    1c. Huh

Estimates for total market cap potential of bitcoin are as interesting as they are wide-ranging.

At the low end we have today's range $6-10 billion if bitcoin just does what it does today and nothing else.

At the highest end we have replacement of large swathes of the global monetary systems, financial assets and undiscovered uses from bitcoin's extensible nature ... $80-100 trillion range.

That said, i'd be shitting myself right about now if i was leveraged long...

Satoshi talked about smallish consumer transactions like vending machines and porn. Did he fall into a math hole?? Huh

Can you quote a Satoshi post where he talks about porn?

Most of his posts were about technical things, and I didn't think he would talk about anything else. I haven't read all his posts, but enough of them to know the technical talk in them goes way over my head.
Not satoshi, but it's like the guy could see the future!

Not that i would approve (necessarilly), but illegal porn services would probably the ones to be more sucessfull with offering payments in bitcoins, much safer than credit cards that are used all the time to trace customers of illegal porn services.

With law enforcement going after online sex trafficking of minors with a vengeance, Bitcoin virtual currency is becoming the preferred coin of the realm for the sex industry.

Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable;
yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea;

Again, short and long are somewhat relative. From bank to bank, from paypal to bank, for western union etc, it takes days... That's eons of time compared to bitcoin.

For small txs you can go with 0-conf.

What's the point of transferring money "From bank to bank, from paypal to bank, for western union etc.," if you can't spend it? Because that's what transferring "bitcoin, the store of value-but-not-money" is.
Unless you mean the novelty of transferring binary strings on the blockchain, ofc, but that sorta wears thin pretty quick. For me, at least.

There is nothing preventing you from spending it, so...

Well sure there is, unless I want to pay double (and possibly more) for each cup of coffee, but Bitcoin didn't set out to be "like money, only more expensive and inconvenient," AFAIK.
If unclear, bank transactions take days, occasionally, not because of the slow 300 baud modems used by legacy finance, and not because bankster electrons move slower, but *because what's being transferred is a different thing altogether.*

The world revolves around fiat. You go to your nearest Bitcoin ATM, pull 200$ out and buy your coffees and stuff with cash. So, how is it not spendable? ...to fees that can be bypassed with sidechains, altcoins, cash, etc. We'll see how it goes in terms of the scaling solution implemented.

Err, those "bitcoin ATMs" are usually bitcoin vending machines, that *sell* me BTC, often at 19 fucking % markup. They don't want to buy my BTC any more than Coca Cola vending machines want to buy my can of Coke. So no, no bitcoin ATMs to help me spend my (useless without real money, apparently) BTC.

If we're talking about what this world could be, then BTC is just a pointless level of complication. I can imagine a world without money, where people trust each other (and not just for zero-confirm transactions). Smiley

P.S. please try to understand that Bitcoin is only a store of value as much as it's useful, and it's usefulness plummets if it can't be used as money.

Your paradox begins and ends by applying future problems (extremely high BTC fees, which would imply a very high volume of transactions where people are REALLLYYY taking BTC seriously and are paying a lot for being able to transact with it - which are all indications that BTC is quite big at that point) by coupling it to today's anemic infrastructure, which is a fallacy.

No, I'm offering you the current state of bitcoin ATMs (according to you, an essential layer for transacting in BTC).
Talking about the present, what is, right now. No "paradox." What are you talking about?

If I have 10kg of gold in storage, as store of value, I'm not expecting to buy souvlakia and pizzas with it. I understand that I will have to sell a few grams or a few gold coins for fiat and then use fiat. That doesn't render gold useless. ...

Gold is an anachronism, a custom, a convention, like shaking hands.
It has millennia of history, rooted in the times when it represented "the power of those who (by fiat!) deemed that it [gold] means wealth -- kings, rulers, with armies and shit."
Bitcoin has no more in common with gold than it has with dolphins or the internet. Just fucking stop already.

Then also take the current state of bitcoin fees and transact with it, instead of projecting forward to the point where it costs 3 times the coffee in tx fees.
If we are talking about the future, you will have to apply a corresponding "futuristic" reasoning for other aspects of the ecosystem.
I'm talking about the present. Regardless of how much I spend on fees, I can't buy gas, milk, pay my taxes or buy my dope from Pedro.
Not without turning it into fiat, at which point all the KYC/AML laws will apply, and will be introduced at your "bitcoin [buying] ATMs."
As long as that's how it's played, bitcoin's just a needless layer of complication.

Whatever you have to say about gold, the issue remains that it is indirectly spendable and a store of value despite not being directly spendable. And this is not an anachronism. It is not something that was relative a thousand years ago. It is something relevant TODAY.
Recently, gold has been a shittier store of value than USD. Case closed.

i think the case is not closed. the price of gold is MANIPULATED downwards. that means the price has been artificially lowered. what that means is that todays price of gold is not it's true value.. and what that means is that gold is on sale.. obviously, there are reasons why gold and silver have been manipulated downwards.

Any reason to think the price won't be 'manipulated' in, say, 10 years? If no, why should I care if the price is 'manipulated' or not?
Are all prices manipulated?

Are you not proclaiming to be bullish about bitcoin's long term success or do you happen to be skeptical and merely have an academic interest?

I'm NOT very optimistic of bitcoin's long and/or short-term success, mainly because nearly, though not all, the people who are NOT pessimistic about Bitcoin (and digital currencies based on permissionless blockchain paradigm, which is game changing, as a whole) seem to be very much, albeit not exactly, though sufficiently so to be off-putting, like you. Which is to say yourself.

It's both irrational and unfair, just like my hating The Dead when I was a kid (because I hated deadheads), but there you are Smiley

... You want to buy a chewing gum => you use a shitcoin. You want to transfer 500$ or $5 mn, you use BTC.

Right. Because the market demands as many currencies to exist side-by-side as possible, to facilitate frictionless commerce (and provide hookers and blow for Blockstream employment for money changers).  So shitcoins for buying shit, GumCoins for my gum and shitty hard candy needs, CoffeeCoins for my coffee etc., and Bitcoin, useless as money, for storing muh wealth.

..unless I end up using BeanieCoin for storing wealth, of course, then BeanieCoin. Oh, and if BeanieCoin can process enough TPS to buy gum & shit, I also might use it as money. Removing the need for the whole multi-currency convoluted bullshit & fulfilling satoshi's dream of BeanieCoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System Smiley

If we're happy about today's # of uses, users, and transactions... 1.75MB equiv will be plenty.

When all of the world's wealth is stored in bitcoin (sometime in 2017), fewer users = richer users. That's the third law of thermodynamics.

 Lambie, in this iteration of your shell, you seem to be such a passive aggressive kind of FUD spreading troller, who still seems to be quite detached from reality in your exaggerated ways to make negative points regarding bitcoin.

Even though bitcoin enthusiasts are expecting grandios networking possibilities with bitcoin, which ultimately causes exponential growth (and price appreciation), there is almost no way that bitcoin could subsume or absorb any majority proportion of the world's wealth, even in the the next 5-10 years, and even in the best case scenarios for bitcoin.

If Bitcoin were to subsume, even 1% to 5% of various wealth storage and/or payment systems in the next 3-5 years, that would result in bitcoins valued over a million dollars per BTC.. so your exaggeration of 2017 seems out of this world in its level of preposterousness and trying to suggest that any bitcoin bull would believe such fantasies.

TL;DR? (What I mean is make it longer, blander, with more words, so I'd feel totally used if tricked into reading.)

I do not want to be rude, or anything, but this is not a religion. There can be no heretics. And if a single person, with a single article can hurt "this much", maybe the system ain't that strong enough after all- yet?

Never understood why would anyone follow a "leader" here, and strangle the kitten of the "other tribe's warchief". This is so stone age, and explains why still no consensus, hint hint.
What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the system. The system is unharmed and the maths behind it are impenetrable (in the todays world). This is about the sheep of this world and the corrupt media. Most of the media quickly picked up on this as the ultimate truth even though Hearns words have no meaning anymore and are backed by nothing but bias and rage (due to the failure of his project). I'm quite annoyed and tired of this constant nonsense. These people need to be shamed for all eternity.

So Lauda, how much code have you contributed to Bitcoin? How long have you been involved with it?
In short, what makes you the authority on Bitcoin, as opposed to Mike?

he has a fundamentally self-destructive ego and sociopathic tendencies ... that would likely overcome any legal threats taking him into mutually assured destruction situations (e.g. hard-fork) ... i.e. he will blow up R3C without any thought of the cost to himself when the time comes.

It’s really shaken my faith in humanity.

my mercy with him is very limited.


I'd like to know a lot more about how the NYTimes journalist, Nathaniel Popper who wrote the Digital Gold fiction, was able to time the release of his Hearn hit piece exactly for R3C's benefit at the washington hearing?

Also the tenor of Popper's article is way overstating Hearn's importance to bitcoin, historically and recently and he is almost certain to know he is doing this after his research into the specific area of personalities involved in bitcoin for his Digital Gold book. So he has proved to be a nasty little propaganda tool who should be watched closely ... as closely as he spies on us I guess.
