Hey guys - NEO is coming down to Malaysia! Don't think the location is determined yet though - can't see one.

Don't sell lor. When I first enter cryptos, I made up my mind to HODL good crypto coins for a long long time because I don't want to have regrets of selling the coins to see it shoot to the moon. I take BTC as my main reminder. Imagine selling BTC for $100 to see it at current levels.  rclxub.gif

Were you in crypto already when BTC was 100USD? Or just a matter of expression?

Wa btc transaction took longer and longer now... all hashes go to bcc haih

I transferred BCC between exchanges a few days back as I had the feeling it'd be a lot faster.
The whole process took <10 minutes all in, from initiation in Kraken to pending to transferred and reflected + usable on Bittrex.

I am not gonna transfer BTC between exchanges anymore - Confirmation takes way too long.


Addendum: It isn't entirely about the hashrate btw. Hashrate is jumping back to BTC since earlier this morning..

Bifnance needs 30 confirmations for BTC deposit? OMG

Notice: Coins will be deposited immediately after 30 network confirmation

Eh - wasn't it around 6 or 8? I recalled it was 6 when I did LTC transfers.
Did message them on FB telling them that the confirmation description was written wrongly.

It is ok, we have segwit now. It will only take 5 minutes.  devil.gif

Nah. Segwit doesn't do that. It increases transaction throughput by about 70% or so.

Today's Ethereum Core Dev meeting (#23) involved a few parties outside of the core developers - Most notably Kybarnet of Reddit for him to forward his concerns with regards to the decrease in ETH issuance during Metropolis.

MCO is decently undervalued. Imo the hype was caused by whalers pumping the price for their own profits. If they can get VISA approval/backing in Sep price can easily go back 700k sat if not higher.  hmm.gif

I'm not too sure about that. Seems that VISA being... more strict recently.

Last I checked TenX were affected by WaveCrest's decision on this, but they have plans in place for this already; Not sure about Mona.co though.

Indeed. But other than as a simple alternate currency or as a non-monetised bearer of information, I can't think of any other use for crypto that wouldn't be considered ICO or ICO-like.

Good reminder for myself on why I am working in this space. laugh.gif

Indeed, but most of these would fall under what I said: "alternate currency or as a non-monetised bearer of information".

Can only hope therefore that this will be a big enough market to justify current investment...
*
IMO being a platform for "bearer of information" in a trustless, public setting is a huge enough market. laugh.gif A niche within this would be trustless, public, plus anonymity.

I think it's the other way around... The traders I know right now are spending hundreds of thousands USD to accumulate for the next swing up (and spoofy appeared!), whereas investors are panicking with their dwindling holdings. sweat.gif

Just another day in the wild west of cryptoland.

Easy. Man-made. Bitcoin market cap is less than 100 B while gold is in the trillions. I have asked these questions myself. Just substitute Bitcoin with gold and see whether you can answer your questions. Why should a piece of metal be so precious. Why can't gold be cheap?
*
To be honest I had the same questions as he did before I gotten into this whole space, with a bit lesser of the malice (since if shit tons of very intelligent people are looking into something, there must be a good reason).

Gotten my answers and now I am way in too deep. sweat.gif

I'm sure a lot of people have the same questions. Me included. For many, bitcoin and cryptos defies logic but in this crazy world, who says logic is important?

Ahaha. Yea human emotions are irrational.

On the other hand software development is logical, so logic is important! biggrin.gif

(sometimes I wonder why did I choose this instead of trading bangwall.gif )

I think software AI also defies logic?  tongue.gif

This is so off-topic. laugh.gif

AI is in fact logical (in our context so far; you could of course code AI to be probabilistic or entirely random instead of deterministic), far too much so without the restrain of emotions, empathy, nor human values (hence unable to build what we call "common sense"). That's why the typical example of an AI which when instructed to stop global warming, may choose to kill all humans as the best solution; or if asked to not kill humans in the process, may choose to deep cryogenic sleep humans instead.

But... off-topic. biggrin.gif

Well if you think that bits are worth a few thousand dollars then be my guest.
Already making myself feel at home.

QUOTE(TheRealist @ Sep 17 2017, 04:48 PM)
Often times there are pretenders that come along like bitcoin and you see what happens. I mean tulip were valued high once upon a time and look what happened.
Tulips die and disintegrate, incentivising quick selling and lowering of price when demand is low.
Leave bitcoin there for the next century or so and it'd still be there as long as at least one node maintains the network.


QUOTE(TheRealist @ Sep 17 2017, 04:48 PM)
I asked a simple question once and till now I have not received an appropriate answer. If bitcoin goes to zero what will be the justification that it's not zero? The thing is anything in this world there must be a backing
Backed by the cost spent to mine. Electricity and hardware cost. I wouldn't want to sell bitcoin below my cost. Wasn't following up on the figures recently but according to John McAfee that's about 1000USD before you could start producing Bitcoin (and I am not sure if that is even profitable yet).


QUOTE(TheRealist @ Sep 17 2017, 04:48 PM)
For bitcoin how much is your blockchain worth intrinsically?
That's similar to saying how much is email worth intrinsically. No wonder people had been saying you are hard headed. Did you read what wengherng and kmarc had been saying? As a peer to peer payment channel without the need of an intermediary. That's how much it is worth.


QUOTE(TheRealist @ Sep 17 2017, 04:48 PM)
In the end those bits are just worth nothing because those bits are not generating income. They are not tied to anything physical. They do not serve at all currently to better our lives etc. Granted they do make say transaction transparent but them is this something really ground breaking? Well. Many financial institution probably is already doing that. I mean tell me which part of bitcoin cannot really be implemented from a financial standpoint except for say distributed ledger part.
Yes. It is ground breaking. A cryptographically secure, byzantine fault tolerant model which does not needs an intermediary to resolve the double spend problem, effectively facilitating peer to peer transfer of value over the internet. There were no other similar models before this. You weren't reading.



QUOTE(TheRealist @ Sep 17 2017, 04:48 PM)
The difference between gold and bitcoin is that at least gold is tangible. It's backed up with history and even now it's a important tool when it comes to world policy. The amount of gold in a country vault tells a sign as to how much political power this country has. The thing is for gold no matter what you do it will never lose its power as something that is important in the economic sense as well as in the political sense.

The other thing I would like all of you to consider. Even for credit card there is a massive increase in the amount of features. I dun see credit card being ground breaking . the cost for credit card is zero. In fact most finance institution pay you to get a credit card.

Both these are just as your ramblings on what you think - Evidently you are not interested in the technology, what it problem it is trying to solve, and you just want to be heard.

Eh no... Honestly figured it out myself. I do read your posts from time to time so I know your personality and way of speech. You're brilliant, but hard headed and argumentative.
