You are always wasted Adams
not always, only after 8:00... expect saturdays and sunday, sometimes friday i'll start early, really bad monday might have a few dozen drinks come 2:00.
hahahaha i'm kidding....
You are not kidding, you are a liar
I insist, you are always wasted
especially when we are on a rally
hey hey hey i'm not wasted right now...
i only had
1 bottle of wine
i gtg to the store b4 it closes brb...
Please tell me you're walking or Ubering to the store and not driving, Mr. Wino. Ya need to have all your preparations in place before a night of drinking instead of running out in the midst of the celebration. I suspect you're buddies w/ the local bartender at the store and are talking up the upward trajectory of Bitcoin during this dispatch for goods.
Like, "Yo, I'm bout to be rich, homie!"
I drove... welcome to quebec, where the legal drinking age is just a suggestion
I was probably under the legal limit... i had 1 bottle over a prolonged period.
In anycase the key to breaking the law is only to break 1 law at a time.
If you stick to that rule you'll be fine.
trust me no one has a clue bitcoin is going up... no one is talking about that, they still dont have much of a clue what bitcoin is.
they still ask me questions like " but how can you trust this digital cash, i'll stick with REAL money "
Wow, you live in Quebec - fascinating. The only thing that comes to mind for me is the Nordiques from forever ago. I see the ignorance for crypto is the same up there as it is in the Ann Arbor-Detroit corridor. Small world I guess./
I'll trade ya cities for a week just as an experiment.
born and raised in Montreal, 1/4 native.
lol the Nordiques, its called the Montreal Canadiens these days. ( which is odd since quebec hates being part of canada, dumb separatist... )
I think bitcoin adoption is extra slow here because of the language barrier ( its mostly french )
Still an interesting place to live w/i the same country, like one of those unique places that almost doesn't make sense to exist. Since you're on the parcel of the motherland of the UK, which is being hustled by Yobama, it's amazing that things can be somewhat different in this neck of the woods. I'm glad for you that you were born there and still live in such a unique place. Not many options for difference here in the US unless you are and FSPer in NH - and even that doesn't offer much difference in living from the rest of his place.
as much as i hate the politics here, We do have a lot of diverse cultures, which creates a unique place to live. our government is hell bent on "preserving the french culture" which has led to crazy laws recently, when we send our kids to english school these day they are enrolled in a 80-20 program ( 80% french 20% english ) thats an "english school" is in quebec... i think our government is Fing stupid, they dont seem to realize that the culture isn't tied to language, french or english we are all bad ass quebecers with little respect for authority, we all eat poutine and live in igloos with our pet beaver.

I just wanted to do the same but you nailed it before me !
What's the record for the number of nested replies to a post? Does the forum have a limit on the number of nested relies allowed? I know there's a word count limit for each post, so that might be the only rule stopping infinite replies.
I know a challenge when I see one.
Hahahahahaha
Challenge accepted....
This is more fun than the delete posts numerology bullshit.... wasn't that a thing for a while in order to avoid the thread getting to 10K pages? Guys would delete like 200 of their posts in order to knock the page count down... a bit. I didn't delete any of mine...
sup everyone
Ah, what the hell..
i'm loath to trade in this market at present: Stamp and Finex leading the way on low volume....smells more fishy than John West.
It's not a party until the price goes up another two bucks.

Wow, I was so sure that Dr. Wright was lying about being Satoshi, and he goes and proves it to BBC.
How will this affect the the price, do you think? Is now a good time to go all in?
There's nothing ireffutable yet. And who in the BBC is going to have much of a clue as to what it takes to prove it?
Didn't Dr. Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation, also publish a blog backing his claim?
I'm no doctor of science myself, but I figure if anyone could spot a fake, Chief Scientist would?
Gavin has not posted anything to reddit in the past 10 days. Are there any recent posts by him anywhere else? Any OTHER posts where he confirms Craig's claim?
Gavin has now posted
a bit more information on redditApparently he verified the signature on a laptop provided by Craig, using software downloaded by Craig. And was not allowed to keep the laptop or the signed message.
Who can see what is wrong with that?
They don't make Chief Scientists like they used to?
why would someone claim to be satoshi fully knowing he won't be able to prove it when the time comes
did he really think we'd take gavin's word " i verified his key " as irrefutable proof?
Bitcoin is a world of cunning, intrigue, mystery and excitement!
Damn I sure hope you are right. I have 106 BTC more or less.....It would be nice to see what kinda 'ass' I would be with that kinda action.
In Wall Observer or around friends?
Jabroni Friends (before) - "You're stupid man, going to lose all your money. Can't believe you're buying
into a scam (crypto-currency) scratch tickets!"
Jabroni Friends (after) - "Man... I wish I got as lucky as this guy! You better
sell not spend all your winnings on scratch tickets before you're sorry and thank God for that miracle!"
FTFY. Buying scratch tickets doesn't become the best investment ever if you win

It's arguably a +EV (expected value) "scratch ticket".
Same could be said for every shitcoin currently trading, and every ponzi scheme that hasn't collapsed
In nine parallel universes, it goes to $0. In the tenth, it achieves ubiquity and goes to $10,000+. A bet that usually doesn't pay off doesn't make it a bad bet. An EV calculation simply takes into account the probabilities of different outcomes.
That's typical Longshot Charlie reasoning: "I only gotta win once, and all this will be worth it." The thing about calculating EV is it can't be done in shell games and crypto, for the same reason: the game is rigged, you are basing your EV calculations on a faulty model, it doesn't work like you think it does
LOL. Not at all...
Scratcher tickets aren't useful innovation. They don't make industry processes more efficient. They don't reduce costs or friction in archaic technologies. They don't enable new, useful applications that previously weren't possible. They are clearly -EV, since there is no real value being created and Uncle Sam takes a healthy slice.
Crypto-currencies are a useful innovation. As a crypto-currency, Bitcoin offers unique utility in the real-world that, at least today, is not matched by any alternative crypto-currency. It exhibits an incredibly strong network effect. It has the greatest hashing power (by far). It has the infrastructure and distributed ecosystem. It has international brand recognition, and a growing "trust" due to it's age and familiarity, and these things only strengthen with time.
Anything that is both useful and scarce will have value. A new technology that provides real utility in the world is not a Ponzi scheme. To ask why speculators have gotten wealthy, some quite quickly, is to strike the bedrock of what constitutes real value (in society) with the shovel of a stupid question. The value of the "thing" is not a function of the fact that there's an internal unit of account ("bitcoins") and that this unit of account is traded between peers. Else you'd have to apply this fallacious logic to any tradable instrument. Is Tesla a Ponzi scheme because some investors might want to "get rich quick"? What about gold?
>Scratcher tickets aren't useful innovation. They don't make industry processes more efficient.
What industrial processes are you talking about? Turning electricity into waste heat? That could be done more efficiently via legacy methods, like electric space heaters.
If you're thinking payment processing, 3 tps @ $8 per transaction (at current BTC rate of $580) is, like, the worst possible way to do commerce.
>They don't reduce costs or friction in archaic technologies.
Other than the ransomware, name one.
>It has the greatest hashing power (by far)
Hash power is useless, an overly complicated way of turning electricity into heat. If you build a machine that has the greatest rate of flushing money down the toilet? Trust me, they won't come.
>It exhibits an incredibly strong network effect.
So did crack.
>It has international brand recognition
Yeah, so do AIDS and cancer. Everyone has heard about bitcoin, the defacto currency of cybercriminals.
>Anything that is both useful and scarce will have value
Bitcoin blows it in both respects. It can't scale, and, for all but criminals, it ain't useful.
>A new technology that provides real utility in the world is not a Ponzi scheme.
Huh? Saying that it's not a ponzi often & emphatically enough doesn't make it so.
>To ask why speculators have gotten wealthy, some quite quickly, is to strike the bedrock of what constitutes real value (in society) with the shovel of a stupid question.
You drop a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?
>Is Tesla a Ponzi scheme because some investors might want to "get rich quick"?
Tesla makes cars.
Bitcoin takes the marks' money and turns it into heat, tears, and failure.
Sorry bro, you need read up more on the topic. It isn't worth anyone's time explaining Bitcoin use cases to you, when you're arguably trolling and, like anyone intelligent, can research the topic yourself. Unless you want to pay me in bitcoin, of course, for an hourly consulting/mentorship gig?
Just let me know and I'll shoot you my Skype name and BTC address.
Sure, just walk away... too weak to even admit that you got nothing
Re. your edit: "opportunity cost" is the cost of having your IRL money tied up in bitcoin, instead of actually investing it.
You're the guy that keeps "reinvesting" his ponzi "profits" in the ponzi, because it's so darn profitable. The hallmark of the perfect mark

Your arguments are too fallacious and you're obviously trolling. Or I hope it's trolling, for your sake. No one with any degree of sophistication would take the time to respond to those arguments and red herrings. It'd be a waste of their time.
Anyway... ignored. Have fun.
>too fallacious ... any degree of sophistication
Lol, check out the big brain on Brad! The sucker must be made to believe that he is the smart one at the table.
Did anyone sell at the bottom?
Yesterday's bottom is today's top
*Unless you're talking about modern crypto whose name is so powerful it's verboten to be uttered in this temple, lest satoshi idolaters all come to their [dulled] senses & start worshiping at the altar of the The One True God.
In which case I, too, am interested.
I'm so sick of you ETH pumpers. Go back to the altcoin forum.
Here're the facts:
$1000 invested in BTC 3 months ago = 2.396702138 BTC worth $1653.724475122 today.
$1000 invested in ETH 3 months ago = 32503.729802995 ETH worth $867.371780912 today.
$1000 invested in BTC a year ago = ~$2,500
$1000 invested in ETH a year ago = ~$13,000

May be just me but your numbers seem off.
He tried to cherry-pick + doesn't know how to read charts
Price tanking again, 2 of my posts got deleted.
Desperation is palpable.
But BTC price is slowly recovering, which is nice. CCMF...
https://s31.postimg.org/5l22bhg97/Capture.jpgHe tried to cherry-pick + doesn't know how to read charts
Says the guy that cherry-picks when he posts a graphic.
I might have made a typo. Here, check my work:
Mar 15:
BTC = $417.24
ETH = .03076570 BTC = $12.836680668
1000 / 417.24 = 2.396702138 BTC
1000 / 12.836680668 = 77.901758707 ETC
Jun 15:
BTC = $681.89 * 2.396702138 = $1634.287220881
ETH = $18.49 * 77.901758707 = $1440.403518492
Ok, not as bad. ETH is getting a big boost on BTC's coattails, but BTC still outperforms. The ETH pump is over. Go back to the altcoin forum.
Lol @ "typo"
Even with cherry-picked dates, at the crest of the bitcoin pump, still can't come up with impressive numbers. Not like ETH's x16 rise
in less than a year, currently @ ATH
And a pro tip for you: When riding someone's coattails, you can't go faster then they are going. Not like this:
https://s32.postimg.org/xu0m56sxx/Capture.jpg...but you believe what you wanna believe, I'm sure this here bitcoin nag has a few good pumps left in her.
Ethereum's rise this year pales by comparison to past bitcoin rises. And anyway, I will never buy a single ETH - there are too many who feel the same as me for it to ever overtake bitcoin.
Huh? Are you talking about the very first one, from $17? Surely not the $1200 Willypump, which was only x10.
And, of course, both were obvious pumps, not like Ether's natural, organic growth that goes hand in hand with its superior technology.
