hahahah Time for BTC to die? Get a grip.

Less new bitcoins to be found every 10 minutes. Like clockwork.

The fundamentals of the fiat currencies you measure bitcoin price with are worse than ever. That is why the country that will lose the most urgently needs a war.

^calm before the storm==bitcoin price is about to explode up north with leaps and bounds you were never expecting!! :-D weeeee++

Never looked into Tether. Seemed impossible on its surface. How is the peg maintained? Don't know, don't care - it is an inherent impossibility.

Alright JJG you're going back on ignore.

I've spent the last few months fighting back against BU trolls and explaining segwit to people, I join some others to express concern about the situation with finex and get labelled a "big block nut job."

Anyone with any real input want to weigh in on what's happening with finex? Is there any way to reliably withdraw USD out?

Call me a dummy, but I do not understand this point.

Does Bitfinex offer Tether?  

I have never seen that option on my Bitfinex account.

If Bitfinex does not offer Tether, then how could people use Tether to move their funds out of Bitfinex?

What am I missing?

2) the price of USDT tanked. it went down from $1 to $0.96 and that always increases the volume. and that is a 4% decline which is huge in something that is supposed to be worth a fixed $1 value.

tether is simply irrelevant because it is not being uses as much as you think it is. the volume that it has indicates it very well.
this is a new thing that i have been seeing you and a couple of rather newly created accounts are saying! and honestly i can't see how we can even start talking about USDT while there are a lot of other things wrong with these platforms that are much bigger.

Solution is simple like it has always been. In times of war: pick the weakest country: bomb it, plunder it, rob its people. Leave it. And all countries can work on their next plan for the next 'war'. Weak I mean wealth/army ratio. Its just about the money like it always has been.

Price is artificially inflated due to the inability to withdraw USD on finex. When this gets sorted out price is gonna drop, and then drop even more as people panic. Currently its providing a nice cushion for this little pull back which should in reality be larger than it currently appears.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

It is called pre-announced scheduled maintenance.


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Let's make it clear that I don't want to hold LTC. I don't have many good choices right now for stability, so I had to choose something which might get payment scaling which might be considered good quality. What are my options? ETH? DASH? Come on. I hate all this shit. Bitcoin is becoming dominated by whales as the math insures it will. Yeah they have an incentive to protect the immutability of the protocol, but that does nothing to enable the knowledge age and bring value to us common men. And they are making the fucking ecosystem such a mess that it gives everybody a headache.

The entire ecosystem is about speculation poker. And robbing Peter to pay Paul.

And the manipulations are getting more and more bizarre. Mt. Gox was just a walk in the park compared to the sophistication of deceit being employed now.

I expect Ripple to collapse as the sovereign debt crisis goes into defaults probably next year.
