Thread: RIP Bitcoin

should I remind you that you work with pipes for a living ?

anyway, some BitCoin ETF that was going to launch has been "suspended" by the SEC (or CFTC can't remember) for lack of "proper" financial underlying instrument

I think the biggest threats to blockchain is going to be simpler tech developed by Apple and Google to make micro-payments and micro-transfer extremely efficient and cheap

you don't really need blockchain tech to operate a secure and inexpensive transfer system, that was the original idea behind Paypal when it was created

should I remind you that you are a confused belgian boiler room fluffer - not sure where you got the idea I am a plumber or piping eng

as you also do not know that both apple and google have tried to roll out both apple pay and google wallet - neither has gained much traction

actually that ETF was pre-approved, but eventually got denied access to Commodities Exchange by CFTC, will need to dig up that news again somewhere

nothing to do with KYC though, as ETF are listed and market participants clearly identified

That is Ripple's (XRP) MO. Ledgerchain rather than blockchain. Cross border money transfers for fractions of a cent. There's serious potential for online companies like AirBNB and Uber to use this to distribute payments worldwide quickly for almost cost.

absolutely, like eBay did with PayPal

we need to have some kind of easy "funding" and "transfer" procedure that is just too great to ignore, like PayPal was once

I bought Omise Go just as I liked the name, at 20 baht in July - went up to over 300. That and KNC are going to soar. Bitcoin is too risky.

An interesting development, you can get cash loans using your blockchain assets as collateral.

Thailand leading the way for Blockchain in SEA?
Not sure that's a good advertisement for this tech.

I won't,

Was a great investment for those that got in early, could easily end up at 10,000 or a bunch of zeros less.

need more proof than a fluffy article - singapore is trying to become an ICO haven - though as I have said before , I think most ICO's are dodgy scams pasted on top of ECR20

Bx are very fast too, both ways.

A dark horse crypto that is worth looking at https://iota.org/

Not based on the blockchain, but an entirely new concept called 'the tangle'. I am still working through the white paper, but in summary: its infinitely scalable, the more people that use it the faster it gets, there are no miners or mining fees, as to conduct a transaction you need to verify 2 other randomly chosen transactions.

Currently very much in the early stages of development and use, and only available on bitfinex, but have a look if you haven't heard of it yet.

Also I will convert 60% of my BAT to CAT, still a token realted online activity, but I have been using the Brave browser for and its pretty clunky and doesn't work as well I had hoped. More on CAT here: https://www.bitclave.com/en/

Anybody invested in fuck coin?

FUCK Token

jesus christ, no shortage of idiots in this world

the fat german boiler room fluffer must be some kind of economics guru - probably from counting the tadpoles he has swallowed in his lifetime

move over rainman , here comes bukkakeman

so did it go or not to 7000 ?

it's a sucker game, and definitely a bubble with no fundamentals to support it

pure speculation for idiots and chinese peasants

which one are you Baldrick ? and don't put all your savings into it, only your beer and pussy money

Apprently as as all code is "open source" any "deveoper" can insert new code and in this case "block access". One wonders if they can also write code, with of course "Russian or DPRK or Chinese fingerprints", reasign the coins elsewhere during the delayed access.

Are these "developers" required to have any financial insurance to fund such theft?

As you may have gathered I know nothing, about cyber currencies.

Couple of mates were celebrating a casino tickle 4-5 years back, about £500 each, got high and one suggested rather than end up giving it all back to the casino they invest some of their winnings in a bunch of btc; one bought 30 the other 32 at something ridiculous like a tenner.

As of last week they've agreed to sell at $10k or $5k, whichever arrives first, but I shall ask them to contact you for further advice.
