Blocks are full. Let's see what happens.

It's the FULLBLOCALYPSE_TM

I think I'm done arguing. It just has to play out now.

(I was actually going to use that word but couldn't remember it exactly.)

big blocker capitulation is close ... they have no logical ground to stand on and the whole edifice is crumbling, Crassic was just the Hearn echo swansong

You don't seem to understand. Bigblockers will win if we crash the price far enough to persuade the miners to switch. If we fail in that, it's because the price is going up and they have no reason to listen to us. (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). So it's simple. Just keep pumping until we go away. That's how you'll get us to capitulate.

This is stupid thinking, and probably similar to Mike Hearn's raging tantrum. Let's just try to destroy things until others listen and we get our way...

Makes a lot of sense.

NOT.

Only makes sense if you are childish and unable to attempt to work with others by appeals to reason and fairplay.

On the other hand, why don't you get all your supposed coins out of cold storage and lead the way to dumping them all? Except you likely only have less than a couple hundred coins, so won't have too much of an effect anyhow.

ya only need to be in the ten bitcoins club right Huh

Sure. 10 bitcoins is fine for those of more limited means. .. and sure the cost of 10 bitcoins, even at todays prices, may be quite exorbitant for some people to be able to set aside, given their financial situation.

In my last little dig at BJA, I am merely attempting to refer to his ongoing big baller bragging of his supposed power and his threats to leave and do damage to bitcoin. To some degree, it seems that it would be nice if he would just cash out all of his bitcoins and leave bitcoin to others.... though in reality, he is likely mostly talk regarding his quantity of coins and his willingness to leave because there really is likely going to be no other investments that are going to be as good as bitcoin over the long term even though it still remains prudent to have some diversification of assets by investing in some other areas, as well.. and there may also be several short term investments that may beat bitcoin's performance for risk takers (and bitcoin is certainly not free from risks).
