what happened to the coffee-gasms you used squirt all over the WO thread?

It seemed to piss too many people off so I didn't bother any more.

It was usually all about trying to stay awake when we were going sideways so often people posted GIFs of tumbleweeds.

Coffee is just a crack-of-noon wakeup drink for me anyway. After happy hour it's strictly booze, preferably Guinness Extra Stout.

Hey Jimbo, Any thoughts on how long we'll move sideways now? Also would you care to comment and throw in a few bits regarding core/blocksize/bitpay/coinbase current loggerjam/loggerhead? not sure which its supposed to be with regards to above term lol. Thanks.

I'm curious as well. I can't help but notice he's yet to appreciate Blockstream.

Very suspicious.

I've consciously tried to abstain from the blocksize debate. I don't do coding myself (not since Microsoft Basic on a TRS-80

) so I have to place my trust in the worldwide Bitcoin "community" to police the open-source code. When I delegate, I try not to interfere.

That said, I see the need for larger blocks with time. I also see people with a political agenda trying to use the debate for their own purposes. I'll leave politics to the politicians. Cheesy

Blockstream? I don't follow it too closely but I know it's a sidechain technology [company], as is Ethereum which I don't follow that closely either, although I did attend a meetup just before the launch in which Vitalik Buterin spoke and outlined the advantages of decentralized contracts. Blockchain 2.0 obviously holds great promise but I don't see it as competing with Bitcoin, which has achieved critical mass ahead of any altcoins.

As for how long we'll go sideways this time, my guess is probably for a few days although being the weekend, anything can happen.

Fixed/bolded.

*Vote Blockstream^TM.
