The amount of scare storeis the current mempool has generated is crazy - and a lot of them from so-called experts in the crypto media.


But alyssa!! You are queen of scare stories when it suits you


here's one of your posts where you tried to scare everyone into buying etheruem, "because Flippening" Grin

I can't see utility coming through. The mempool backlog has dropped because no-one is using bitcoin anymore, they're using alts to move money. The few transactions there are are from exchange to exchange.

Steam, Stripe and others that disabled bitcoin have not changed their minds. And there have been no new merchants saying they'll enable bitcoin, but plenty have enabled ethereum, litecoin and other alts.

I think we'll struggle back to $15000, and then drop back in earnest when it becomes clear that the action is in the alt space.

...except when people are using mempool space, then everyone else is telling scare stories, huh? Wink how many transactions do people make in ethereum and litecoin these days compared to bitcoin, it's still almost nothing, isn't it? Cheesy



I like this one, where you say crypto isn't money because taxes:

If the legislatures of Arizona and Georgia allow people to pay tax in crypto, then cryptocurrency becomes money.

Anything a govt will accept in lieu of taxes is money. At the moment it's just fiat (they won't let you pay in gold, which makes gold an asset). So if crypto makes the tax breakthrough, it will be huge.


more "Flippening" scare stories, backed up by good old bitcoin judas:

Roger Ver has weighed in on The Flippening:

According to Roger Ver, Ether is well underway to surpass Bitcoin. All it takes is doubling in price one more time to effectively reach this goal. That is, assuming the Bitcoin price doesn’t increase further.

More specifically, Ether has surpassed Bitcoin in a few other key metrics. It is cheaper to use most of the time, and a lot faster in terms of confirmations. Ethereum’s throughput has also surpassed that of Bitcoin on multiple occasions in the past.

Roger Ver is also impressed with Ethereum’s developers, by the look of things. In his opinion, Bitcoin no longer holds the top spot in a lot of regards. Once people start to realize that is exactly the case, things will get very interesting across all markets.

this never actually happened, right? oh but it will, it just needs time (and maybe more pump & dump FUD stories from you)  Roll Eyes



How come you're telling it straight today, need to build up some reputation for credibility again? Smiley
