The difference between you two, is that I'm pretty sure he isn't trolling and actually is that stupid.

I think it's much more complex than that. It's more a psychological than intellectual problem. Some intelligent people can get trapped in that kind of nonsense and incapable of getting out without shattering whatever status they have achieved with some stupid positions.
That's why Ts can be informative at time and look so stupid other times.

Are you a firework merchant? I appologize unreservedly for my insensitivity.

How many independent BSV nodes will run around the world with 300 gigabyte blocks? lol

Without thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of independent nodes running BSV software and verifying transactions all you have is a worthless coin released and controlled by a single company (and narcissistic madman).

You may as well just go all in on ripple.

I don't think ToothSayer is stupid, I think he's trolling. Aside from that, I think you're absolutely right.

Devoting any significant amount of your time to trolling is stupid...

It takes a special kind of special to continue the shtick despite his humiliating prop bet impotence.

1) Brian was stone dead in the prop bet thanks to the best trading in a decade during the correction. If you think I lost that you shouldn't go anywhere near the stock market.

2) I believe everything I post on 2p2 including about bitcoin. Everyone seems to agree with me up their level of intellectual competence, above that I'm "wrong" or "trolling".

3) I'm really not that interesting, not sure why people are discussing me, was just giving a compliment to/agreeing with Fear_Itself. There's only one possible future and that's one blockchain with vast size ("metanet as Satoshi calls it) that does all functions, and that's not going to be bitcoin core. Economics guarantee it. It's worth thinking it through imo if you're going to invest in this space. It might not be bitcoin SV but it won't be an unscaling core becoming digital gold either. And definitely not the fractured unworkable bull**** that is Lightning.

Because the internet is serious bidness?

Losers always talk about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen.

nope.... bc life and time are the most precious and scarce things a human has.

Well, beside BTC of course.

6 billion lives, only 21 million bitcoins

2,100,000,000,000,000 satoshis

Gavin is known among knowlegeable Bitcoin people to be ******ed and full of bad ideas. They filtered most of them before he went public with it. He is also not an adversarial thinker, which allowed him to get conned. He in fact, also admitted, he was likely bamboozled.

Head of the Bitcoin foundation is a scammer. I give him no weight. He also then went to go work for the Ayre funded NChain, who promotes the CSW Scam.

There are plenty of public interviews of CSW where he clearly does not even understand how Bitcoin was designed. The only explanation that he is Satoshi is that he is being so incredibly stupid, no one could believe he is.

TC, you just engaged a troll. There's nothing to gain there, nobody actually thinks he's Satoshi. It's also one the least interesting things going on in Bitcoin right now.

OTOH:
Just saw an interview with Bill Barrhydt (something like that) from Abra. They are offering all kinds of synthetic products which basically allow you to deposit BTC to Abra and still be the custodian of it. Because they are not the custodian they can circumvent all kinds of regulations and are able to let you speculate on stocks/bonds/RE.

If these type of products catch on, it will be a gamechanger with regards to Bitcoin price. This in combination with products like azteco, where you buy $100 worth of Bitcoin in your local shop, send it to Abra, and get instant exposure to stocks or bonds is ***** amazing.

Also. There are huge improvements on the privacy front. Schnorrr could be ready in 2020. Which has all kinds of positive privacy implications.

Then there are all kinds of techniques to break chainanalysis companies heuristics. Like P2EP, richocet from samourai wallet, coinjoins (especially Wasabi wallet) doing amazing work.

Thoughts anyone?

Would like to get any info on bitcoin for use for online poker. I see people say not to use coinbase. Would like know the best and easy way to deposit & withdraw.

Thanks

If you are US based, Cashapp is the way to go.

The custodian part of abra is not clear at all, i dont think you can use your seed for anything else than abra.
On Paper they have some insane product for sure.

Bcash will have schnorr on next upgrade !!!!!!

My favourite projects right now :
- BTCPay server, Probably one of the biggest driving force for merchant adoption.
While i doubt the everyone is his own bank can be a reality, for every merchant that seem achievable.

- Pierre rochard node launcher is helping with LN adoption a ton , and he is pretty vocal on LN problems aswell.

What are the advantages of buying stocks, bonds, etc in bitcoin as opposed to USD?

- No need for a bank
- Everything in one app could be more simple tax wise.
- being able to edge your crypto without selling.
- easy micro investing

Lots of people don't have access to the USD, or whatever currency needed for doing these kind of things.
