RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-06-2019 Here's a link to a tweet of a nice looking chart for all the gold bugs who have been losing value to BTC and are likely going to continue to lose value to BTC. Showing that with the passage of time bitcoin buys more and more gold or gold buys less and less bitcoin. Go figure. Who would have thunk? https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1192032782912040960 RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - Swordfish1010 - 11-06-2019 (11-06-2019, 06:14 PM)JayJuanGee Wrote: Here's a link to a tweet of a nice looking chart for all the gold bugs who have been losing value to BTC and are likely going to continue to lose value to BTC.

RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-06-2019 To the extent that the "one trader causing the 2017 BTC rise theory" deserves any attention. Here's a link to a nice little rebuttal argument. https://cointelegraph.com/news/3-reasons-why-one-trader-didnt-manipulate-bitcoin-price-to-20k RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-07-2019 Interesting to see how much the Cash App has been growing in respect to the purchasing of bitcoin. As many realize, cash app has so far remained bitcoin exclusive; they do not, so far, deal with any shitcoins. https://twitter.com/matt_odell/status/1192205598793895940 RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-07-2019 It's a bit hilarious regarding how so many bitcoin naysayers were suggesting, based on the first day or two of the launch of BAKKT, that no one was interested in bitcoin including the fact that BAKKT was a failure because it showed less than 100BTC being traded on a daily basis for several days in a row. It kind of demonstrates the level of desperation of bitcoin naysayers (and bitcoin death proclaimers) who are constantly striving to jump to premature conclusions with whatever stupid-ass little data or speculation that they can get. In the past nearly two weeks the trade volume (or contracts entered) have shot up about 3x to 5x from the trade volume of their first month. There are likely a considerable amount of ramp-up costs with any new operation and for people to get used to both how they might use the product to their perceived needs and also just learning how it works and seeing it in action for a bit of time - including the fact that anyone opening contracts on BAKKT have to be prepared to settle in bitcoin at the time (on the day) that the contract is settled, as compared with CME that is settled in dollars. https://twitter.com/BakktBot/status/1192082718655422464 RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - Swordfish1010 - 11-07-2019 (11-07-2019, 05:32 AM)JayJuanGee Wrote: Interesting to see how much the Cash App has been growing in respect to the purchasing of bitcoin.Jack has already stated that he only believes in bitcoin. Shitcoins are never getting added. He gets it. RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-07-2019 I understand that right now there are quite a few guys who become a bit frustrated with BTC's price not moving very much, and also generate concerns that BTC's price might go down before it goes up. On the other hand, there are also times in which guys become so excited about BTC's price movement, while at the same time, considering their BTC cash out plan in an all or nothing kind of framework. Frequently, I am one who considers that it is prudent to both create plans for the future, but also NOT to plan to sell all of your BTC at certain price points, in the event that BTC reaches such price points. These BTC price consolidation times should allow for considering ways to attempt to prepare yourself mentally and financially for future possible BTC price moves. I did get a lot of credit for a post that I made on September 9 regarding attempting to create tools for yourself for the future, and possible upwards exponential price growth in BTC, which largely involves both an attempt to incorporate incrementalism thinking and also advocating for BTC HODLers to tailor, tweak and optimize their BTC plans to their own situations and risk tolerances, while at the same time asserting that NO BTC HODLer should plan ahead to become a no coiner, even if BTC's prices were to go up to $50k, $100k, $500k, or some other high amount per coin. Here's the link to my September 9 post, (full text of that post is below) and of course, some of the context is already revealed within the post, even while I did make some follow-up discussions within that thread about such post, too.

Not sure about how accurate are Ron Paul's survey methodologies, but still showing an interesting result. https://twitter.com/RonPaul/status/1191384535755317249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1191384535755317249&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fes.beincrypto.com%2Fbitcoin-es-29-veces-mas-popular-que-el-dolar-como-inversion-revela-una-masiva-encuesta-de-excongresista-de-eeuu%2F ![]() Above chart gotten from Luckmcfly Here's another article on the survey topic showing very similar results from a few days ago, too. https://cointelegraph.com/news/ron-paul-survey-reveals-most-prefer-bitcoin-for-10-year-investment RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - Swordfish1010 - 11-08-2019 (11-08-2019, 05:35 AM)JayJuanGee Wrote: Here's an interesting poll that was conducted by former US Congressman Ron Paul that shows that 59% of people would chose bitcoin to store their value (for a $10k gift, if they were forced to have to store such gift for 10 years).

The building of Schelling points likely involves the implantation of such ideas (in this case, the value of bitcoin) into the consciousness of the masses.

RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-08-2019 Interesting to see that number of jobs in crypto are very much outpacing number of persons seeking jobs in crypto. https://www.beseen.com/blog/talent/bitcoin-job-market-2019-beyond/ ![]() https://cointelegraph.com/news/searches-for-btc-jobs-drop-53-employer-demand-up-26-in-2019-indeed ![]() RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - churros - 11-08-2019 Someone want to write a data sheet on crypto jobs?

Could be that the better guys to write such data sheets would be guys who are either in the middle of looking for a crypto job, has looked for a crypto job or is preparing to look for a crypto job. Surely, not this cat. I don't plan on working anymore, except if it is something that I want to do. I would imagine that there are quite a few self-starters in the crypto space too. Some guys might go to crypto conferences and then end up getting involved in various projects, whether scams or altcoins or ICOs. Surely a decent number of jobs in the crypto space have a marketing budget because they are kinds of scams, and bitcoin would not have as many of those kinds of budgets, even though there are likely some bitcoin specific companies that could involve some marketing, too. Maybe another guy can chime in with some better thoughts and experiences in either crypto job searches or opportunities that he might see out there? Are you considering anything like that churros? Of course, this is the bitcoin thread, so I would not be very much interested in getting off topic too much into NON bitcoin topics, so I could imagine that some guys might not be selective regarding what kind of projects that they involve themselves, and personally, I would not be interested as much in that approach or having such an approach posted in this thread. RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-09-2019 Tweet 1) https://twitter.com/CryptoBull/status/1192856337731989505 Many people in the bitcoin community know Peter Schiff as a persistent gold bug. Funny how much hopium is built into such a guy that has been pumping his "bitcoin is going to zero" nonsense since before I had even gotten into bitcoin. He does say that he gets a decent amount of attention for his gold pumpening interactions with the bitcoin community. Another funny thing is that he frequently says that he should have gotten into bitcoin at $10, when he first heard about it, while following up by saying that "now it is too late" blah blah blah. He has been saying that a lot, and for some reason he seems to continue to fail/refuse to recognize the irony of such an ongoingly dumb statement. Tweet 2) Here's a nice supplementary chart that shows BTC price compared with Gold price. Whoaza!!!! A guy might speculate that the level of performance of bitcoin, as compared with gold, should shut up any gold bug, but instead it seems to fuel them into some kind of locked position (or doubling down) to keep asserting that the crash (referring to BTC) is coming sooner or later (refer to the ongoing statement that "it's a bubble" meme below): https://twitter.com/MrsFulcrum/status/1192873444259614720?s=20 ![]() ![]() RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-09-2019 Since I continue to love the visuals.

Of course, using lightning network involves fees too, but currently the fees are much lower than on bitcoin's main chain, and of course, if you are already feeling that you have abilities to say whatever the fuck you want, then you might not want to pay for something that you can get for free.. On the other hand, one of the greatnesses of this world remains that there are all kinds of people in it, and even though we might not have certain issues in the first world, sometimes there are needs and use cases in other parts of the world that causes systems like this to become much more valuable than they otherwise might seem to be on the face. Furthermore, sometimes, one way to keep regular systems honest and open is to have competition, which messaging on lightning network could serve as such complementary system that helps to keep mainstream systems more honest. How Bitcoin’s Lightning Can Be Used for Private Messaging RE: The Bitcoin Thread (price and other bitcoin related topics) - JayJuanGee - 11-10-2019 50 second video clip, and in the end of the clip, Steven Colbert gets a little dig in about bitcoin, namely trying to suggest that those of us who know about bitcoin are socially burdensome. https://twitter.com/WhiteRabbitBTC/status/1192831381581246464 hahahahahahaha Not going to be so socially burdensome when no coiners might be changing their tunes in the coming years and wanting to hang out with us on our yachts and with our hookers, lambos and blow. I don't really mean the hookers part because I don't pay, but it is just an expression. ![]() |
