Yeah, but I'm one of those people who like to gamble ... Plus I already have some like .5 bitcoins saved up from the last time I dumped them out, but now, for me, it's time to get back a heavy wallet (for me that's realistically like 2-3 BTC) lol.

This time really does feel different.... yet we know that there will be a few corrections along the way... nonetheless, clearing $317-ish is going to be a fairly decent sign that the momentum is upwardly...

bought from a local miner 100 BTC at 285, waited for the top, then sold and then shorted.

everybody happy except the bastards I dumped into.

I will clear the way till the next hidden wall with small and regular buys. you panic buy.

You and everyone else in this thread need to stop your stupidly obvious lies.  Holding private keys does not mean you control the coins.  Craptocurrency is no real difference from "cloud storage".  The designed to centralize mining monopolies (aka transaction validators) running the infrastructure are the only people who control the coins.  You have absolutely no fucking say whatsoever in whether they allow or disallow you to do something with the so called "money" you pretend to own.

Anyone who disagrees with this is an obvious liar because we've already had numerous examples of cartel collusion blacklists and arbitrary freezing of coins in almost every blockchain, from things like Silk Road coins, to Ethereum freezing coins from DAO and other stuff, to EOS blacklisting coins, the list goes on.  The blacklists and permissioned nature of the shitchain will only increase more by the day.  The term is called creeping fascism.  There's no reason anyone should ever support a non-fungible currency where transaction validators are designed to centralize (aka every single blockchain ever created).

Physical metals = permissionless and freedom.  Any digital fagchain bullshit = permissioned ledger slavery system 100% guaranteed to be a replica of the Chinese social credit score system over time.

Monero does not fix anything I stated and is also completely inferior to physical metals.  Yes, it *attempts* to blind transactions (fungibility) and does it at a success rate below 100%, maybe 0% depending on who is watching, but that's also completely pointless when it does nothing to fix the real, main Achilles heel of all cryptocurrency being that transaction validators are ALWAYS designed to centralize in every single one.  Without fixing that (it's not possible) nothing you do has any point.

It's 100% impossible to create a decentralized digital currency because it would require using unprofitable PoW and having everyone process their own transactions like email PoW, but unprofitable PoW systems like IOTA are unworkable and require artificial convergence, so you're back to square one of creating a decentralized digital currency being impossible.  And you actually think having coin developers constantly change the mining algo is a good thing? That's identical to having central bankers.  

I don't need a fucking central banker to change the mining algorithm of my physical silver or gold, or to constantly flash "update to wallet 0.17.0!" at the top of this forum.  That's another central banker stupidity feature having centralized coin devs telling/forcing you into doing things.  Stop pretending worthless digital shitcoins have any value compared to metals - the thing they attempt to emulate and don't succeed in any aspect.  They're a fugazi - fake, an imposter.

monero is /somewhat/ tolerated here, quoting the r0ach...not so much

Hey whoa, I'm not trying to censor you, many of us here are good with XMR, most, however, have the r0ach on ignore and repeated quoting of him will get you ignored by many.  I, for one, have zero bandwith for his autistic drivel.

You can write whatever the fuck you want.

Best to back up what you say, and surely there are some posters who post a lot of crap here, especially roach.

However, from time to time, even roach makes some interesting posts.

If someone gives you a hint about which posters are not so acceptable, then you can certainly take that with a grain of salt, but perhaps you can also attempt to figure out why that was said, rather than getting on some bullshit censorship theme that is largely considered a stupid ass bullshit argument.  

Go ahead, make some points and attempt to back them up, instead of whining about supposed censorship.  

Edit:  
I saw in a subsequent post you kissed and made up with Jojo and decided to ignore roach. I will leave my comments stand, and surely, my intention is to suggest that you don't need to fear presenting controversial ideas in this thread - whether you are supportive of bitcoin's current direction or not or whether you believe core is too centralized (which does seem to be a bit of a spurious talking point that trolls, pumpers or bitcoin naysayers(nocoiners) like to make), and especially if you are able to back them up with facts and/or logic (hopefully both).  Personally, I do think that you can get yourself into trouble when aligning with trolls or seemingly really dumb ideas before guys and gal in this thread get to know you a bit...   Yet, even if you are known, I doubt that you would need to take any attacks on your post ideas personally - because even though there may seem to be some agreement with so many of the regulars wearing hats, frequently, there is decently high levels of disagreement about bitcoin related topics, relevancy of topics and even whether some kind of happening, such as "stable coins" is bullish, bearish or a bitcoin attack vector.
