    Hard to pin down Earl's exact prediction though. He has changed it so many times even he probably can't remember at this point.

    He drinks his own piss, dontcha know.

    I think that has something to do with yesterday's fork; could be wrong but it seems in the crypto world any organised crew can fork a coin at will, issue some as divis and divi out the mother load.

    Possibly a length of rope, maybe 6 feet long.

    BTC daily volumes are over a million, so somebody is buying the sales. Won't be eating my dick on prime time but might treat myself to a couple if it drops much further.

    This mining war is fun to watch.


    The two non-mined coins in the top ten are actually going up against the flow.
    That in itself is very strange. Could it be this war has actually got people thinking about crypto using logic and evidence?

    What people may finally be realising about proof of work:


    Crypto-anarchist: The banks just print money out of thin air.
    Reality: Every time BTC forks it is digitally printing money our of thin air.

    Crypto-anarchist: The top %1 are rich and control everything and use their power to make more money.
    Reality: The hashing power for the BTC forks are being run by rich individuals who are battling to control everything and use their power to make more money.

    Crypto-anarchist: BTC is decentralised it has to have a %51 hash majority to be attacked.
    Reality: %80 of mining is centralised in China, an authoritarian government that could at any time take-out or take control of the majority of the hashing power and invalidate the integrity of the network. Also the BTC forks are currently running at about 50/50 split in their current battle so it's obvious %51 attacks are more than possible.

    Crypto-anarchist: BTC is good for the world.
    Reality: BTC and forks mining currently uses the equivalent power use of a small country and most of that is from coal-powered power plants in China.
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    people go on about the amount of power being used for PoW crypto validation , but fail to see that it needs to be this way if you want to use a trustless decentralised blockchain - not counting how much power is consumed by fiat accounting and transfer systems

    pure PoW systems are not the future , and the current hash wars are only part of the reason why not - hybrid Proof of Work / Proof of Stake will be seen as the way forward for both power consumption and security of the chain.

    I do think we will start to see an accelleration of the number of soft exit scams - ICOs and others created vast numbers of tokens with grand claims for the future and thse tokens were mainly paid for with ETH , but more of that ETH is being sold and minimal progress on the grand plans is happening and slowly any teams or progress will dwindle with the token/coin dying

    if there has been no provision made for steady and quantifiable progress with payments from a treasury , then the ICO/coin will die

    You don't need to burn Terawatts of electricity when you use consensus. A distributed agreement protocol not a centralised database and magnitudes better than what the PoW experiment has offered.

    that's the problem, when you keep reading bullshit white papers on crypto all day, you eventually start speaking bullshit for even simple explanation that doesn't need such bullshit verbose

    a fraud for fraudsters, that's what it is, and the blockchain tech will not solve anything, because firms always fuck up tech implementation, it's not their line of business

    15 years ago, it was all about bXML and how it was going to resolve everything for digital transactions for businesses, banks etc... it never did!!!

    yeah I understood, but I thought it was funny how you tried to sound "sophisticated" for explaining something very simple,

    like all scammers do

    yeah, 15 years ago, those who don't learn from the past, are bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over

    Bitcoins and Blockchain, overhyped tech that accomplish very little, told you so from the very beginning of this thread, and you still believe in fairy tales

    Financial institutions, Universities, Tech Giants around the world.

    You've gotta trust someone. You'd have to hit Mrs Earl levels of paranoia if you think they all be colluding against you.

    All proven to be liars and you are happy to trust them?

    Financial institutions - Global Credit Scandal,
    Universities - Bought and paid for biased "research",
    Tech Giants around the world - Bought and paid government lackeys
