Bitcoin ramblings

All blockchain does is provide great certainty that a sequence of transactions hasn't been tampered with, how will that transform IT services which for the most part aren't simple transactions? You also need to trust that the blockchain itself is what you think it is

Head, meet brick wall.

You don't know? The same point as 95% of the threads started in general. Perhaps I am overestimating people's stupidity and greed, basic human emotions.

You do with the thread as you please - you've already made up your mind. It is startling how censoring the most benign of topics is deemed not worthy of the internet. Roll on decentralised internet...

Really? Funny, I can read this thread, and so can others who are still posting.

I'm pondering whether to remove the term 'advice' from your title (you must have thought that to have been a bit of a hoot at the time ), or just keep your jokiness there for all to see.

There have been complaints about this thread from people who want us to remove it, but we are not into censoring just for the fun of it.

And you may be happier on 4chan - I believe that is the archetypal decentralised internet.

Wasn't the original title just "Bitcoin", and one of the other mods added the "Highly unreliable investment advice"?

If that's the case then I'll remove it from the title.

IT is just a fancy was of saying I'm working on a database. The internet itself is nothing more than a database. Web 2 was when we moved beyond static sites. Web 3 is when our computers become next to worthless clients.

Trust decentralised blockchain or the centralised entity who can manipulate their data on a whim - decisions decisions.

Really? In only 48 hours since the start. How interesting. Be all means then remove it. We don't won't to offend the liberarty.

Perhaps I'll start a thread on the debate of enforced lawful pronouns. Get caught saying something that offends a minority? Hang em!!

Yes.

Either cUK is hacked or there's an abuse of power at play. Obviously the latter.

[WTFH]

Yes.

I can assure you that I did not add "highly unreliable investment advice" to the title of this thread that contains highly unreliable investment advice.

I'm sorry to hear that, really I am. Who what where when or is it just speculation? It is a highly volatile asset class and you don't expose yourself with more than you can afford to lose. Remarkable folks have lost money since the lows of 2017, all you need to do is hold. 98% of investors will fail at this first hurdle.

A number of people that were following your crypto thread back in the day for a start, and then there are the ones that stayed silent. Some of them posted about it as they've hung on to your coat tails. PC and his pension for one and there were plenty of others. It strikes me as a typical trait of people like you that evangelise all this and then conveniently forget the people you damage on the journey.

I know folks that have lost money following the AMD thread.. point is people are losing money all the time because of financial illiteracy & emotion, you can't blame others for your mistakes.

The AMD thread is completely different. AtW has been very careful in his wording and has been a report of his journey and facts. The most bigging up of the stock he's done is in reply to your comments oddly. He's not offered advice once which you have done endlessly even though you attempt to deny it.

The cryptocurrency thread is intended to be about the wonderful technology that is blockchain, not about price speculation, even if that pops up time and again by myself or others, which is fun. Blockchain tech will transform the internet and IT services throughout the next 10 years, we're about to enter an entrepreneur boom over the next ten years.

That's the biggest load of bollocks I've ever read. Are you really that deluded? That's all it's been about. The evidence is there in black and what. A year+ of graphs, where it's heading, endless missed targets yadda yadda.

I'm very aware people like you exist in the investing world, so far up their own bums they can't see daylight anymore. The ones that produce the spammy websites to buy their books or subscribe to their almost evangelical musings but never had to suffer one to this extent. Gotta say it doesn't paint you in a good light at all. Your delusion of grandeur, misguided passions and blinkered single minded approach is pretty eye opening, but not in a good way.

We already have a crypto thread which contains exactly the bollox that is going on in here so why do we need another?

[northernladuk]

If that's the case then I'll remove it from the title.

Why? That's exactly what it was at best.

This should be merged with the other thread. Why have two going just to feed poopers ego.
