1. Your transactions are spam.
2. The network is meant for high fee settlement transactions.
3. Just use a higher fee than the others trying to use this revolutionary, competition-less, 4 Chinese dude controlled, censhoreship proof network.
4. Investors only care about today, not tomorrow, nor tomorrow's potential.

Just to confirm we're all ignoring this count down and no one to ask what it's about right?
Tis just marcus' hopium drip.
When confronted with someone on a bender like that... best to just feign a polite smile while increasing distance. Most importantly, don't ask him why he's counting the drips, and especially not what happens when he runs out of positive integers.

Attention intrepid investors in disruptive black swan techmologies:
First, pick an arbitrary amount of money, say $10. Without prompting, call this your "BTC trading portfolio" on interweb fora. Next, buy $9.60 worth of BTC... Then, you too can claim to be 96% IN baby, just like JJG. Feels good man.

Have we destroyed the Satoshi coins yet? Just checking...
I've seen some recent discussion of such.. ..
Whoever came up with that....
Dumb idea...
Theymos
did suggest this...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4isxjr/petition_to_protect_satoshis_coins/d30we6f"Edit: To be absolutely clear: I am not proposing (and would never propose) a policy that would have the goal of depriving anyone of his bitcoins. Satoshi's bitcoins (which number far below 1M, I think) rightfully belong to him, and he can do whatever he wants with them. Even if I wanted to destroy Satoshi's bitcoins in particular, it's not possible to identify which bitcoins are Satoshi's. I am talking about destroying presumably-lost coins that are going to be stolen, ideally just moments before the theft would occur. "
This being said , I don't think what he is actually suggesting is a good idea either.
* Only as a soft fork tho, so... uncontentious!

If he really wanted there to have been confidence in the economics of a deflationary currency he ought to have done it himself. The fact he didn’t leads one to believe he wants the dough. And I suppose he’s entitled to it. Either way it’s an ungodly hoard of coins that’s impossible to ignore.
I don't think that's what the discussion is about.
At some point old pubkey coins might be easily hackable. At that point, millions of BTC can be looted for the lolz by those having the tech to do it. The question is what can you do about it so that they can be moved to safety, locked, etc. Otherwise you'll have millions of BTC looted AND a PR fiasco like "ohhh Bitcoin got HACKED AND PEOPLE LOST THEIR MONEY!!! ITS UNSAFE, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES". So you have hackers dumping, people panicking, etc etc. It's a complex issue.
That call should be in the hands of the individual priv key owner and not some entity deciding that your coins are not safe enough so we'll just destroy them for you.
Bbbbbut, it would only be trading one person's liberty for the security of a great many people... seems worth it.
Besides, it could be done with a soft fork.

Within about an hour or so before the shut down, I had just sent some BTC there too, and it did not show up in my bitfinex account balance, either.
Just one of the costs of doing business, gotta figure that in. You don't have your bitcoins unless you hold the private key.
"The life of a Bitcoin trader is always intense."
*that stuff people were saying about not panicking unless we go below 590? I hope they meant 490...
1) Even though you seem to be an idiot troll, I will respond to a few of your points, which are still valid in spite of your apparent trolling attempts [
]
2) Yes, cost of doing business in bitcoin, and probably many other ventures that are in their development stages, is that sometimes there are going to be some costs and even unexpected costs and even potentially some malicious behaviors. [
]
Did we learn anything about using exchanges as Beetcoin banks today JJG?
Also, why were you sending
coins to BFX during this move?? I thought your strategy was to be
buying more coins with filthy fiat during expected downturns like this, no?

I don't really understand the reason of the down...
That's what bothers me the most, the unstability of the market and the lack of reasons for the change, or at least the lack of visible changes.
Really? You usually never have clear catalysts like we have for this one.
$655 to $595 was the complete lack of news relating to the Blockstream meeting with miners, i.e. 1MB4EVA + soft fork salad wins.
$595 to $??? was the reference exchange for USD getting hacked, made worse by the fact they don't do hot/cold wallets, just independent wallets with bitgo for their customers... which magically began emptying themselves this morning.
@JJG: I thought this might be the SFYL spark that got you to hodl your own BTC in your own wallet, guess not.

U guise are bright. Surely couldn't be because nearly every new user on these esteemed fora is a barely literate sig ad shekel farmer, hmm?
I would not be surprised if 120k btc got dumped over the next 5 days or so, and price was attracted to lower support. I will definitely buy at ⁴⁴⁴.
Lost a tiny sliver on bfx myself. Much to my pleasure, I removed almost all of my btc from bfx on friday. No, I did not have any inside info. But monkey was saying it was a bad time to lever: volatility squeeze
So what is the new go-to platform, if you want to lever on btc, short or long?
Bucketshops/gambling sites with 20-100X leverage? Chinese exchanges with VPN?
Interesting to see most of the volume moving to GDAX, stamp, and itbit... no shorts allowed tho, sorry guise.

Damn you got hella bearish all the sudden.
I don't think we will go down to below $500. The price overracted because of BFX and this doesn't feel nearly as bad as gox. Everyone's been expecting worst case scenarios but rumors are that BFX will be resuming business soon. Depending on how well they handle customer losses things could turn around really fast. And if this block-size/HF drama finds some middle ground, like Core confirms that 2mb HF + segwit is still in motion with an updated timeline AND Winklevii + COIN ETF gets the green light we could be looking at greatness this year
Do you have more info on BTCFork, and their reddit page? First I'm hearing of this.
"rumors are that BFX will be resuming business soon" "things could turn around really fast"
ya i imagine thats whats driving the mofo buying now,
but, i'd be surprised to not see any kind of dumpage, regardless of any news from bitfinex.
IMO market will want to re-test the bottom, as soon as it feel like its found a local top. ( which i think is here 580
)
It’s despicable that they’re saying… “some of our customers have suffered losses”. Like the customers themselves were responsible. Bitfinex held the keys, and an instructive key to bitgo, apparently. Their negligence and/or insecure practices allowed for at least two of those to be compromised. Thus, as they are the custodian of multiple asset types… they are responsible for equitably distributing those losses among users of the exchange. A bankruptcy trustee would probably oversee the whole thing. (At least that’s what I expect the argument to be in court, and I suspect this thing
is going to court
before withdrawals commence.)
The reinvigorated interest in ideological forks, even forks that are likely to start as small minorities… is because people are starting to see they are viable and even competitive to some degree. ETC/ETH was the informative experience it was expected to be, and people are getting ideas.

Sure, the customers are responsible as a whole and have become creditors to a bankrupt organization. Altho, there shouldn't be arbitrary gradations of fucked, based on random chance. Which was my point... you might have missed it.

Sure, there may be some better ways and better systems to accomplish the same thing, yet at the same time, the whole BTC infrastructure is developing and evolving and in that regard, a lot of this exchange activity is inevitable...
Now I agree with you on a personal level there are ways to preserve and secure value, but if everyone did the same as you, including institutions, who the hell knows where bitcoin's price would be or if bitcoin would be as developed as it is.
In any event, as an individual acting in the ecosystem, each of us can choose an approach balancing risk and reward that hopefully fits with his/her personal situation.
Fair enough, but at this stage I'll be selfish and think of my own security first.
Nothing wrong with that... ... Part of the rationale behind efficient market theories is for folks to act in their own self-interests, and to consider what they believe to be their own self-interests from their own perspective. Of course they may get it wrong from time to time, but still....
Kind of related to this whole matter, we have quite a few posts in this thread in which posters are attempting to lecture other folks about what they believe to be in the other person's interest or in the interest of folks who have funds on bitfinex as if they know what is in the self-interests of those bitfinex account holders. That's all fine and dandy, if you happen to have enough information about the other guy's situation.
On the other hand, there may be some guys who may have some unrealistic expectations of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. the balance is not always going to be clear... Bitfinex does have a duty to communicate about this matter and they have a duty to the users of their system, yet at the same time, we continue to kind of shoot in the dark regarding what is actually going on, what happened and what the path forward is going to be. Bitfinex agents are surely weighing their options in order to figure out how to deal with this matter in ways to carry out their duties to their customers while weighing the feasibility of their business model and security practices (that is to the extent that they may not be totally scamming, which seems to be a low possibility, even though the nicest of folks may turn into scammers, if they realize that the scammy option is the most feasible under the current circumstances).
I didn't read your post but I assume it is some kind of twisted logic on why you let others hold your BTC for you. Well, you did that, and now some of your BTC are gone.
You were derided repeatedly for keeping all your coins on exchanges... and now you've paid a cost for that. Either you learn a lesson from this and do a little research on how to properly secure your own keys, or, you don't. It
is was your money.

JJG, you're such a cuddly and credulous creature. Giving these guys the benefit of the doubt after they forced themselves on you like a dogecoin kingpin from Bristol...
I was thinking... perhaps... this is actually good for Bitcoin!
1) The fallout from a bankrupt Bitfinex will probably do less damage than if those $40 million of leveraged longs were caught up in a cascading margin call.
2) 120k BTC off the market, very dangerous to deposit it into a fiat interfacing exchange, at least any time soon and in any significant quantity.
3) The main option to short BTC for westerners is now gone. Back to the good 'ol days of clean buying and selling.
4) The event creates a chilling effect on sending BTC anywhere... lessening the need for any kind of maxblocksize increase! Status quo baby!
So, chin up guise!

They don't want to turn off their magic money making machine, that much is clear... they just aren't aware it's shattered, strewn across the shop floor, irreparably destroyed yet?
provided things go smoothly and no one try to sue them or somthing.
Can't imagine that happening... lol.
They say we'll get BitFinex "tokens" which will be turned into shares of BitFinex stock..
why do i keep hearing about "tokens" can someone point me to the source of this rumor.
We are actively discussing various strategic options with numerous potential investors as part of our strategy to fully compensate our customers. Such discussions, however, are in early stages and will likely take time to play out. In the meantime, In place of the loss in each wallet, we are crediting a token labeled BFX to record each customer’s discrete losses. Tokens will be distributed without release or waiver. The BFX tokens will remain outstanding until redeemed in full by Bitfinex or possibly exchanged—upon the creditor’s request and Bitfinex’s acceptance—for shares of iFinex Inc. We are still sorting out many details on this; we will post further updates in the coming days.
LOL i see
well thats really fucking cool on there part.
1) Facilitate or participate in the loss of near 40% of your clients' money.
2) Shrewd clients say "it isn't that bad, could be worse", "hopefully they'll start trading again soon."
3) Clients light up with glee when bankrupt organization floats pie in the sky idea of illegally offering non-enforceable equity to non-accredited investors (many/most of US domicile) in said bankrupt organization in lieu of rube's money.

And, if you can accomplish that, then you are successful, whether you make money or not, and hopefully be able to learn from mistakes to make better plans in the present in order to better prepare for the future.
Sometimes your financial situation, timeline, and risk tolerance will net you 7000 BFX tokens.
I suppose this means you'll be researching a good way to safely hodl your own bitcoin? Avoid the risk of leaving it all on exchanges, no? Or is your

I suppose this means you'll be researching a good way to safely hodl your own bitcoin? Avoid the risk of leaving it all on exchanges, no? Or is your
angaper risk tolerance just that elastic?
Well, I might consider responding in detail to you, if you weren't engaged in selective, repetitive patronizing lecturing, and if you were willing to discuss your own investment strategies, as well. But, yeah, many of us already realize that you , and your other lambie sock accounts, are not in this thread to actually share information and to engage in any kind of meaningful and interactive way.
I shared information
(admittedly in a playful yet chastising way) that would have
saved you thousands of dollars worth of your
(family's) savings... doesn't get much more meaningful than that.

It's about adding liquidity. You think bitcoin would be worth fuck all without trading? I'm done arguing with an idiot, moving on now.
Well, there'd be a discount, as buying and selling OTC carries a natural penalty. I'm not sure it would be worth "fuck all" however. There are plenty of illiquid assets that possess speculative value.
i'm with chesthing, "fuck all" is an exaggeration but obviously the biggest game in bitcoin town has been is likely to continue being for some time the buying and selling of bitcoins.
collectively traders have a high degree of control over price... and not only add liquidity but also bring prices higher and prevent and major jump/dip, if it drops like 30% in 5 min, you can bet your ass traders will buy it back up to 50% fib No questions asked.
IMO
Not all that surprising, 'round these parts we have people who think exchanges and order books don’t matter in terms of the utility and value of their tokens. Perhaps BTC should only be sold at the local bullion/coin/curiosity shop to a subset of their customers, or P2P in a parking lot or alley… They think that 1MB blocks are perfectly appropriate for this point in the adoption/distribution curve, because decentralization that can fit in a single conference room. Segwit in April, Lightning sewn.
See?! vvvvv

I'm going to guess that the way Bitfinex has handled the debt is illegal on multiple levels and they are going to be hearing from the likes of CFTC again. You don't see anything like this happening in the real world.
Well,it's Bitcoin & Hong Kong....any more questions??
Well I'm waiting for the pissed off (loss of face) China miners to announce an 8mb hard fork due to issues with such a timeline by bitcoin core...only reason we have not heard such
by now is Bitfinex mess..but wait for it .won't really effect me in that I mine LTC and BTC and hold mostly..but man the price will dump again imho on this new FUD fruitcake.
crypto: more drama than a Mexican soap opera
This is totally off base. Miners have been brought to heel re: the Blockstream vision, high fee, low throughput main chain, with payment channel contracts (LN) overlaid for the transactional layer. If they were going to do something else in the next 12 months, you would have heard about it by now.
This is not to say a fork is out of the question. It won’t come from the chinese miners though. It would be a spinoff coin, using the utxo and ruleset of Bitcoin, but without the 1MB4EVA and soft fork salad upgrade path. It will use GPUs for security, and will try to compete as a small minority fork, like ETC. If it receives any kind of demand, it could easily begin taking hash away from ETC and ETH. More decentralized mining, and higher throughput, free market capitalism will find a way.

Yeah, I was a bit angry that what I lost was replaced with an IOU that might be worthless soon. I'll just hodl on for dear life and hope for the best. My totes-legit-math-numberizer machine says this is a temporary setback. So I'm just going to sit back, relax... and see what happens.
Aren't most of your trades for like $30 to $40? I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Ok ya but for gods sake don't buy any of them. In fact I recommend staying out of politics all together.
Oh, ok, I'll faithfully keep propping up the value of your favorite brand of bag, apolitically, of course.
