    Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have.
    He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations.
    Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."


Bill Gates is the same guy who said "64 kB should be enough for anyone". Now he denies the quote is legit, but he sure acted like it, failing to endow DOS and the first Windows versions with proper memory addressing.

Bill Gates is also the same guy who thought the Internet, anarchic network of networks as it used to be, would be a passing fad and everyone would just use the Microsoft Network.

Bill Gates is the same guy who can't quote you the price of common groceries found in the store, because he's up in the Ivory Tower along with the rest of the billionaires.

Is there a source on the internet statement? I can see how somebody would conclude that "64 kB of memory should be enough". But the fucking internet?

No.

Make up your mind Bill.

Why is Microsoft still accepting payment in bitcoins if Bill thinks they "caused deaths in a fairly direct way"?

Bill Gates retired from Microsoft 10 years ago. He owns maybe ~1% of MSFT stock.

Oh I thought he still had some control over Microsoft even though he's retired. So Microsoft doesn't give a shit if Bill thinks bitcoin's shit?

He keeps changing his mind about it. In January Microsoft removed its Bitcoin’ payment option, then quickly restored it.

In a blow for Bitcoin enthusiasts, Microsoft Corporation has removed the ‘Bitcoin’ payment option from its active payment instruments.

Quote
Update: Microsoft has restored Bitcoin as a payment option "after working with our provider to ensure lower Bitcoin amounts would be redeemable by customers."

Re: Poloniex sold for about 400m$

The SEC has given Circle the green light, so Poloniex is positioned to become the most legitimate exchange for ICO tokens. I just hope they don't start limiting markets to accredited investors. Either way, I'm gonna start paying more attention to coins that trade on Polo. Wall Street is coming to shitcoin land. Cheesy

I don't know if this "slide from a confidential Circle presentation" is legit. but it says the SEC is very upbeat about the acquisition.

Where did the Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion went to?  Huh

No need to check the charts. The quantity of insults on this thread is inversely correlated to price velocity. Sadly it trails rather than leads. 

The price just moved up by $100, which might disrupt the quantity of insults.

Quality over Quantity.  It's the order of the day.

The price just moved up by another $100 and the thread's getting more amusing. It's definitely disrupting the quantity/quality of insults.

I found this quote on youtube from a user named Zetetic Zen, I thought it was neat:

I'd post a picture but other users would just accuse me of fraud and lying and leave negative rep for me.

WTF do you care about negative rep? Vod's already negative repped you, so you have nothing more to lose.

 ...and then there's this:

http://nationalpost.com/health/a-washington-couple-took-a-paternity-test-for-their-child-the-man-of-the-pair-wasnt-the-father-his-unborn-twin-was

...According to Starr’s research into the matter, the baby’s mysterious origins are a product of the genetic phenomenon of “chimerism,” in which one fetus that dies early in pregnancy is subsequently “absorbed” by the remaining sibling. This process, called “vanishing twin phenomenon,” is believed to be much more common than people think: a 1998 study found that one out of every eight single births begins as a twin or other multiple at conception.

The vanishing twin effect occurs when, instead of producing twins, two zygotes fuse into one. Starr believes that this is what happened to the Washington man, who ostensibly absorbed some of his fraternal twin’s cells while in the womb, becoming a “chimera” — a spectral blend — of himself and his unborn brother.


 One in eight!?  Maybe those 3 boys were his sons?  ...or at least his absorbed chimeric unborn brother's sons.
 


That's possible, there's an example of a woman who gave birth to her twin's daughter even though she never had a twin. She was her own twin.

Quote
A Washington state woman was shocked when she was told that the children she gave birth to were not her own. It turned out that her twin was actually the biological mother of her children, and this only led to more confusion because she didn’t have a twin. In the end, it was discovered that the woman was in fact her own twin, confirmed by doctors to be a rare medical condition.

...that's assuming that the one in ten figure is correct in the first place (which I wouldn't be surprised by because most people are impulsive twats that don't have zero self-control).

The one in ten figure was for middle class people. They found it could be as high as one in three for working class people, but I can't remember who gathered the statistics.

  My brother's wife's sitster's boyfriend knows a guy in university who claims to be doing a study indicating that NOBODY can be fathered by other than the real FATHER and that number is actually FIVE TIMES greater in Iceland.

  Come on guys at least post some sources for your bullshit.
 

I did some googling and other studies dispute this, but ...

In the early 1970s, a schoolteacher in southern England assigned a class science project in which his students were to find out the blood types of their parents. The students were then to use this information to deduce their own blood types (because a gene from each parent determines your blood type, in most instances only a certain number of combinations are possible). Instead, 30 per cent of the students discovered their dads were not their biologically fathers.

"The classroom was, of course, not the ideal place to find out this information," said Prof. Dickens, who is often consulted on ethical issues by geneticists at the Hospital for Sick Children.


Also there's the strange, but true story of twins with different biological fathers.

I'm saying, cuckoldry is not traditional, or normal behavior, that lends itself towards building a strong nuclear family unit.


I read somewhere that over one in ten people have a father who's not their real father. Cuckoldry seems quite common but surreptitious.

Such retrace.  Much drop.  Wow.

It can go down to 10350 and bounce.

Up the stairs, down the toilet  elevtor shaft.

It was bouncing above and below $10k for days during the week. It could be bouncing above and below $11k for days during the coming week.

It was below $8k a week ago, so $10k in seven days isn't so bad.

Lots of action around 11k again.



It took a few days to decisively get above $10k, it could take a few more to decisively get above $11k.

I was hoping to start simmering around 11.5-11.75 for the rest of the weekend and then breakout to 12.2k Monday. But there is going to be some volatility in this range it looks like. Which as it happens is just what is needed...churn the badger pls.   Lots of shorts getting squeezed...hang in here.

I expected to be staring at that $11000 wall all weekend and for this thread to revert to tumbleweed gifs.

Applies to the Bitcoin market too. I.E., we are in a drawdown right now. Due to a 60% correction, normies are walking away from a market that will once again explode in the next few years to a new unimaginable ATH.

The move from the $1200 ATH to the $20k ATH was unimaginable. In the future it could make a move from the $20k ATH to a new $400k ATH, although it seems unimaginable now.

Are they available at  penisland.com ?   Grin      (actual website that sold pens, aka "Pen Island")

Yeah. So, Second Life. The VR community. You can buy and sell virtual items. Other than you can buy them inworld, there is also an internet store. An exchange. The URL: slexchange.com . Tell me you don't see it.

Incidentally, I would tend to think the URL you mention would be worth more as Penis Land than as Pen Island. Then again, with the pens you're talking about, maybe I'm leading a sheltered existence. Best hoity-toitiest I ever owned was a Mont Blanc.

If you look at the pen site... I believe it is a wonderfully subtle troll.

The penisland.com site really was a porn website called penis land. This is a snapshot of it from 2001.

https://web.archive.org/web/20010926155606/http://penisland.com:80/

At first glance the penisland.net site does seem to be a pen selling website called pen island. However I agree it's a subtle troll, especially its motto.

Your penis pen is
Our business

http://www.penisland.net/

It says it specializes in pens made of wood, and the FAQ page says "we can handle your wood" with the requirements "all shipments to be clean, free of parasites".

This paragraph seems laden with innuendo.

Quote
Whether you're looking for a thin white EZ-Grip pen, a petite yellowheart wood pen, or a thick dark mahogany pen we have just the one for you. Our pens are available in several custom sizes. Once we built a pen so large that we had difficulty finding a box it would fit in.

The discount for residents of the virtually uninhabited continent of Antarctica sounds very suspicious too.

going to $200



Looks like a good healthy rise to me lol

Nobody remembers early last year?

It's a good sign, the altcoins pumped before bitcoin last year. Ii remember bitcoin having its first big correction after the shittest shitcoins started getting pumped. Expect a correction this year when tittie coin gets pumped.
