Bought BTC back in 11 13 2013 when we were at 410.
Then again at 540.
Then more at 600.
I would rather see BTC hit 0.00 then leave now.
I am a firm believer in the technology, which is still sound.
ETF will spark next rise.
We might hit 380 in the meantime but fuck it.
Time to double my holdings for less.
Thank you weak hands and trolls.

I'm with you all the way captain! For me, there is no exit strategy. I'm with BTC until the end.
I've seen that picture before and again I ask
1. Where does it come from?
2. How do we know for sure that it's Nick Szabo?

I don't know. All I know is it was linked from this page: http://dave.liberty.me/2014/05/02/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/ with this statement regarding it: "**edit 6/7/2014 a picture of Nick Szabo at a 1997 conference has since surfaced (via Adrian Chen)". Don't shoot the messenger
It would be an incredible story if it were Nash or if he were a significant player.
But that man in that picture looks like a BOSS! Looks like he could dismantle a government with 10 lines of code. It would also be quite interesting if he was Szabo, reminds me of an irl Bruce Banner.
It would be quite surprising to me, and I would be just as happy to know it were Szabo, some random dude no one otherwise knows in the general public sphere. However I cannot comprehend the coincidences between Szabo, Satoshi, and Nash's works. There are very few people in the history of man that have a such a wholistic view to produce such knowledge. Szabo's blog seems like random posts about random subjects, but if you really read it wholistically and understand the different directions in points to, the person behind them has an extensive understanding of the history of man up until present day and future technologies and social systems.
I can't help but think the information presented and alluded to in the szabo blog would take a lifetime to accumulate.
Szabo also backhandedly (not sure if correct word) solved many previously known but unsolved "problems" that really needed bitcoin to solidify them as proofs. He sort of "metaphorically" slid in solutions without presenting them in an academic form. And this is why I understand bitcoin to be a unifying solution, once the person had the concept of "bitcoin" all of a sudden they could privately run around "solving" all sorts of problems previously thought not solvable. Law, programming, economics, cryptology, quantum physics, quantum computing, history, archeology, and who knows what else.
My understanding is "someone" has pretty much won every academic award out there...
I seems really clear to me if someone has read the majority of Szabo's blog, it is a past/present/future account of everything that has to do with bitcoin and it was started in 1995.
Yeup and I contacted Adrian Chen and he has never responded to the questions of:
1. How he obtained the picture
2. How he knoes the pic is from a 1997 lecture
3. What lecture is being given
4. How do we know that specific person is Nick Szabo
Seriously, we need some more investigation into this.
What prevents a miner mafia preventing transactions without fees?
Say a group miners (miner mafia), themselves send thousands of microtransactions without fees. The miner mafia themselves if they win the btc, first accept only transactions with fees then only will accept their own internal microtransactions into the blockchain.
If the miner mafia has a significant hashing %, do they not significantly discourage users from neglecting fees? Is there a reason that every miner group should not adopt this strategy to maximize their profits?

It is easy to say other people should martyr themselves for the cause. It is mach more difficult to be so idealistic when it is your freedom and livelihood in question. I think he did the right thing for himself and his family. There is no shame in that.
It is easier to say such things when your own life is not on the line; however, it is no less true that every time someone pleads guilty to a crime they did not commit the world dies a little.
I must admit I'm disappointed with you Charlie. If you are truly innocent then you must not plead guilty to *ANY* charges that you did not commit. We cannot permit the Federal Mafia to simply threaten everyone into submission. This sets a very bad precedent for the future and other Bitcoin users.
Re: I can't find any information on Nick Szabo, is he is who he says he is?
I think you're missing the point everybody when you look up Nick Szabo you find nothing verifiable them online I can't find any proof they were still work at the university I can't find any verifiable pictures of him as far as I know we have no idea this person actually exists under that name.
Thanks for joining the groupbuy. I have the transaction recorded.
