    will you call XML a revolution ? of course not, yet some silly idiots back in early 2000 would swear by it, and yes XML is everywhere today replacing a lot of legacy technologies

    still things are not improving or running more smoothly, quite au contraire

    try to get a real IT job in a big firm, and you might get it

    i (and others) have posted blockchain technology info on this thread.

    go on then, dragonfly: please explain in positive terms what block chain technology is and then say why it won't be important.

    Butterfluffer you continually post about your expertise, but never have you posted anything prescient.

    Your posts about blockchains have never passed basic logic muster

    So thus you are dismissed as a drivelling fool

    it's not really a technology, and FFS the real deal is how you can apply that "technology" into the real world to make things more efficient

    guess what, it doesn't make things more efficient

    a good read for those interested enough, and think its all honesty in the finance world. the story herein may or maynot be true but the fact is it was and is possible.

    Nathan Rothschild and theBattle of Waterloo...

    Good news – to be relied upon – Lord Wellington was joined on the 18th by 20,000Prussians under Bülow and beat Bonaparte completely, taking nearly the whole of hisartillery. Omnium is now up at 6. This I have from good authority – one who has seena letter from Ghent, received by Rosschild, the great stockbroker whose information isinvariably the best. He is now at the Foreign Office.10

    If you believe in the blockchain technology have a look at LION think it's listed on the AIM stock exchange in UK current share price only about 3.5p but it's getting ramped to fuck whether justifiably or not make your own minds up.

    Bit strange.

    On my Exodus wallet.

    Portfolio amount was down loads. One color was missing from the chart.

    The BCH balance has changed to 0 baht. But in the BCH wallet it still lists my amount of BCH.


    Either a glitch, or BCH has dropped from 60,000thb, and is now worth 0 baht.

    i've posted the info on this thread (maybe you've forgotten).

    i'm asking for you to sum it up in a few sentences, as you are acting like you understand it and are dismissing it.

    why would I want to engage with you in a discussion of a technology you have not understanding of, and clearly demonstrated your grasp of technology is limited

    like talking nuclear physics with a monkey

    and you are the monkey

    ok, i use to think that you were a guy who thought outside of the box and

    understood things.

    now i know you are like antrobertson and don't understand things.

    so be it.

    for now, blockchain is an interesting concept on paper, but again it's all about real purpose and being more efficient

    something banking is incapable of, no matter the technology

    and it's a complete waste of resources, great for hype and marketing gurus with nothing on their hand

    we do need some system to simply transaction and confirmation of transactions for all kind of sensitive businesses operations, MoM/MQ were supposed to answer some of that, but guess what, everything got more complex instead. Now blockchains ? sorry it won't, too much technology out there can achieve the same purpose as blockchain without blockchain

    for the average IT retards who can't make a difference between an ASCII and a binary file, they will get distracted with the pointless features of blockchain, thinking that will change the world, while in fact it will be a complete waste of resources

    technology, the new opium of the people

    I am simply saving my energy from pointless discussion with someone with limited mental capacity

    think of it as a business decision, time saving etc...

    if you have an important topic and you think you are up to it, I am all hear

    for now you are acting like a clueless monkey who think he can discuss important things with his 80 IQ, just because we let the door of his cage open

    as maanaam pointed out, there's no reason for buffet to get involved.....and plenty of reasons not to.
    He doesn't meed to understand them, he has people that do and probably at the most intimate levels; if he doesn't he can buy or rent them. I'm sure Dimon and other big cheeses aren't trading, as sure as their proxies are, something along the lines of serious money to be made, here y'are, hundred mills with more in reserve, hardware, software, trading expertise, no rules or regs, put together a team and go for it, oh and I don't know you!

    you do know that altcoins (blockchain) are being tested by big banks/governments, right?

    they are indeed, but again it's all a distraction, they have no choice but to do it, or else their investors will make claim they are lazy and doing fuck all for changes, a big topic these days in banking board rooms

    there have been big operations tests with blockchains done since 2014, and guess what, everytime it didn't follow through once they realized the costs was enormous

    to make it worthwhile, you need to have a very good reason to implement in terms of operations efficiency, or output efficiency

    for now, it's all wank and communication campaigns

    same as big data and AI, despite real progress being done in research and products, the applications are mostly wanks or for communication purposes, at least in Banking

    doesn't mean they won't be any eventually, because AI is really opening a new world of things to do, that stupid blockchains or bitcoins will never accomplish beyond the wanking stage

    in short you guys are wankers with your blockchains toys

    you want real technology, go AI, but again the underlying logic will be way beyond your mental capacity
