Yes, but whilst we can argue price doesn't really matter the value of the coin is what ultimately makes the miners keep on mining and without them there is no bitcoin or blockchain and that is something to keep in mind.

So? We've got people here who believe in perpetual motion machines; that the world is being controlled by Jews, lizards, and/or Jewish lizards; that aliens walk among us; that humans can survive without food; and IPU knows what other nonsense. The Speculation forum in particular attracts many people who don't understand how financials markets work or even basic economics for that matter. These people are immune to basic logic, and I doubt you'll be able to convince them of anything, though you're of course welcome to try.

I didn't even bother reading the thread you're referring to, as the whole premise is ridiculous on its face and really not worth responding to at all.

If you think that'll help.

I can't speak for the rest of the forum, but I don't think any of those things, except perhaps for the implosion of the dollar. Though I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, of course, or that it'll be so sudden that nothing can be done about it when it happens.

This is Economics 101. Tell us something we don't already know.

Everybody is missing the best part of his quote:

Peter Thiel originally wanted Paypal to BE a 'digital currency' which helped protect people from unstable Gov't currencies. They succeeded at building a huge company, but failed at the original vision. He is giving BTC a big compliment by saying "it actually succeeded in creating a currency".

I think it was Confucius that said
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

Then add fibo.

Then tell me they are so different.

To me it looks pretty obvious, what is happening.

The idea is that after a period of decreasing volatility (that "triangle" on BBW) the market tends to "remember" the volatility of the prior breakout and tries to relive it.  The real target is where BBW slows down and forms a top, the price target is more of a guess of how that might happen.

A voluntary society cannot be designed at all. It will be emergent. When a critical mass of people realize that the rules we tell children to live by (namely don't hurt people, don't mess with their stuff, and keep your promises) should be applied across the board, and that no other general rules are necessary, then such a society will form.

There can be no formula for dealing with people in need. As soon as such a formula is known, most of the marginally needy and some of the non-needy attempt to game the system. Subsidizing poverty creates more poverty. The best way to deal with those in need is on an individual case-by-case basis. It's too important of a problem to be left to monopolists. Concrete answers are wrong answers.

We need a sportscaster to call out the play-by-play live action during these events.
