@cypher, mind backing me up on my claim as you were sitting right next to me when I called ripple a BS coin.
yes, we were both scoffing.
i went up to ask Chris Larson questions at the end and he could not satisfactorily answer any of the concerns around centralization and the premining.
@GOAT, There is your proof. ^ lolz 
Now scurry away so no one notices you still haven't proven YOUR claims.

I have been trading gold/silver since 2002 and btc since 2010.
...
Lol, Smoothie you troll. I guess the 100% correct way to put it would be
"HODLing since 2010" I was not actively trading in 2010, just stacking. 
Anyone smart enough knows that if you were buying BTC in 2010 you would be able to prove it by signing a transaction you made to a BTC wallet. You claimed to have been stacking (or accumulating) BTC back then.Prove it. Oh wait let me guess you won't because I'm a troll and you don't have to prove anything to me.
LOL Talk is cheap once again.

And another claim here which Goat deleted:
Ha, you need to lurk more

I have been investing in gold since 1992.
Wow, that's a long-ass time - it might explain your frustrations with gold. Understandable.
Nevertheless, what you first suspected with me might be the case with you - you sound pretty uninformed on gold!
Anyways, let's let that discussion be now. Hopefully both assets will go through the roof...
Now you are being mildly insulting.
I invested significantly in 2002 to 2004. I then sold out near the highs in 2010/2011 to get into BTC. I am not at all frustrated with gold and one of the few here on this form who would even tell you it is worth holding at all.
You realize gold is manipulated, you just do not understand how much. You assume incorrectly that the manipulators will fail at their game soon. You fail to understand this game has been going on for 500 years. They know what they are doing and the fact that you think you know better than them is just laughable. You might get lucky a couple of times on calls but with arrogance like this in the market you will get destroyed in the end.
I didn't mean to be insulting.
Peace and good luck!
