Quote from: sgbett

Id say look at the 250k you actually have vs the paper million you would be about to lose.

Keep watching!

You are starting to sound like CSW, sgbett... many idle promises that never come to pass.. and then you move onto the next idle promise. Roll Eyes

It's not very honest behavior, is it.

I refuse to believe that sgbett is so dumb he doesn't realize that everything he's said for the last 3 years has been completely wrong. I don't accept that he honestly believes what he is saying.

At the very least, sgbett is a lesson in why you shouldn't trust people who 100% rely on "dude, trust me" to justify their opinions. A superb degree of confidence is no match for an honest understanding and acceptance of reality.

The reason you can't see my honesty is because you can't afford to. You won't see it until it is too late, like most that have tied themselves to the mast of HMS BTC.

Wow. You are not giving up. Shocked

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:34:39 PM

You all seem stuck in a never ending loop of "Bitcoin is a vehicle to get more dollars" and it is excruciating for me to watch. It's like the Allegory of the cave. Stop looking at the wall, there is so much more to be seen if you would care to look.

That's your imagination, if you believe that is what is happening, sgbett. You might need to take a pill to snap you back into reality, instead of your lil fantasy of beliefs regarding what is supposedly happening in bitcoinlandia.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:34:39 PM

Why am I so sanguine about this and why are you all so salty, despite "Winning" so much!? Seems weird...

Sure it does seem weird, when you frame it like that, but the reality of the matter is that there continue to be a lot of happy (sanguine) peeps in bitcoinlandia, also... so your sample of "salty" might not be representative of what is really "happening out there."

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:34:39 PM

Whilst I am warning you of the perils of BTC and its inevitable demise, you all spend your time convincing each other to HODL, so that you can then sell for more at each other's expense.

Again.. I doubt that is happening.

When a person has a lot of BTC, they can sell whenever they like, and they do not need further pumpening or rely on more buying blah blah blah.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:34:39 PM

Pretending you are all being nice to each other whilst plotting each others downfall!

Going a bit far here, aren't we, sgbett?

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:34:39 PM

"Its not very honest behaviour is it."

Now, you know "honest." That is a pretty strong claim given your track record.

<snip>...bitcoin to continue to produce its various kinds of foundational "utility"...</snip>

By jove JJG I think you've grokked it!

If you can set aside your Craig Derangement Syndrome for a second and take an objective look at what BSV is doing you would see that this "foundational utility" is at it's core (pun intended).

There is no reason for me to study BSV anymore than I already have gotten through the last couple of years of its existence as a bcash forkening... and the various shenanigans that it has demonstrated through the years, whether you want to include or ignore that diptwat craig in your assessment of value of the coin/project.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

BSV has merely reverted to the original design of bitcoin.

If true, that would not necessarily mean that progress has been made, you dumb twat (said for emphasis and not implying that you are actually a dumb twat even if you are acting like one)

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

Restoring SCRIPT, removing the unnecessary (can be done in SCRIPT) P2SH, removing various limits that allow it to scale. As it *always* could.

These are beyond my pay grade to understand, so I will let someone else chime in if there might be any meaning to any of these assertions.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

So this foundational utility is in Bitcoin *right now*. It always has been. Remember SCRIPT was there at the beginning, core disabled it. (which is why Vitalek made Ethereum... you do remember all this stuff right?)

I give less than two shits.. so if you have some kind of point then you might need to outline it better for someone non-technical like myself to help me to see why your piece of shit coin has any value.

You understand that there is value in consensus, no? Remember in 2017 there were differings of opinions about what bitcoin should be, and so when BTC developed in a certain direction through consensus, bcash split off.. and then a year later, your piece of shit coin split off from bcash to create another bcash claiming to be the original BTC, but the original BTC has been evolving and developing through consensus.. Many of us put some kind of value in consensus including accepting a variety of technical changes that have taken place in BTC (whether we understand them or not), so in the end, you might make all kinds of technical arguments about bitcoin could be better with x, y, z or some other variety of additions, but if you want to get it into bitcoin, then you better fucking get it to be agreed upon and then adopted into the consensus chain.. which remains our king daddy that the market already clearly recognizes as the one and only king daddy.. and who gives any shits about the reasons that Vitalik made a piece of shitcoin and your various bcash buddies made bcash that end up having another piece of shit version that is hardly used except by a few scammers called BSV that you are so hot and bothered about.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

I too have consistently talked about how utility value eventually outweighs speculative value. In that post (7 years old now, btw and I'm *still* saying the same thing. *Exactly* the same thing) I talk of "the adoption curve" this is driven by utility. I've already banged that same drum in this very thread!

I am glad that you might have had some good ideas from time to time, but your getting behind a piece of shit scam does not really seem to help your credibility in terms of possibly having some good ideas that you might be able to contribute to the space and the thinking on the matter from time to time.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

So it's refreshing to hear others starting to see this.

People are starting to see that king daddy is the coin to get behind.. so I am not sure about other things that you believe that some people might be starting to see. Also, I doubt that the mere fact that you had some ideas "back in the day" mean that you were the first one to think of such ideas. There are all kinds of ideas out there. You know the expression about opinions and assholes, right? The punchline is that everyone has one, and so your opinions and ideas end up being a so fucking especially if we attempt to consider such ideas in terms of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a conglomeration of a lot of ideas, so some ideas might end up getting put into bitcoin, and other ideas might build upon bitcoin, but if you are caught up in some alternative universe and some shitcoin, then I have difficulties understanding how concretely your supposed good ideas are going to end up contributing to one of the most important (if not the most important) phenomenon of our lifetimes.. namely king daddy.

Quote from: sgbett on Today at 03:54:02 PM

I think your talk of me "giving up on his stupid-ass ideas" is wishful thinking, or perhaps even projection. I do wonder that some of the things I am saying might eventually seep through the thick skulls around here ;p

Yes. Most likely I was referring to you when I used the expression about giving up "stupid-ass" ideas. So, sure, no problem, stick with your ideas if you believe that there is some purpose or value in them. That's your right, and many of us might continue to criticize you for sticking with those various ideas that you purportedly continue to believe in, and sure several of us have also accused you of being disingenuous because we believe that you are smarter than the "stupid-ass" ideas that you continue to double down on.. or whatever you are doing with your ongoing BSV and/or BIGblocker related assertions.
