My other post predicting exactly how the top would play out was flagged, because I'm not a fan of various shenanigans that sadly involve this website, and made a controversial post to that effect.

No, the current state-of-the-art in digital currencies completely changes the ballgame, relative to fiat. There's a reason BTC is the main payment mechanism for ransomware.

IMHO this exposes risks related to the current state-of-the-art in digital currencies. BTC, and others, are really just an experiment; new technology will replace it that will be far, far more resistant to the nefarious use-cases in effect

Why did you buy at 370 if you thought it was going to dip to 300? It's going to drop further, Nico.

What's a "market cap"? Are you talking about the market peak?

What does "Lol, no." mean? You seemed to have described a local maximum with "It will dip further". I'd speculate on selling 5k-5.5k which may have passed, or maybe not, and buying below 2k depending on how the dow

Has BTC reached a local maximum at 5,000?

For the second point, I disagree. Rich banks are accumulating enough cryptocurrency to be a major player going forward.

Gotta get into the trade first, thus my "prediction" of a 5k peak early next month for a possible short trade.

Any time I board a plane I get the distinct sense that the cabin air contains toxins of some kind, as it consistently smells like exhaust air.

Start by being a young, excellent programmer. Become older, slower yet don't update your skills. Voila, you're now only a "very good" programmer. This isn't satirical. There's a reason many companies favor t

Suicide is the result of bullying, workplace mobbing, community harassment, being hacked and fucked with over and over again for decades. The tigers and wolves in this case are replaced by the act of suicide -- this is the goal now whether

They do this, or at least have done this. If a "digitally depressed" person has exhausted all possible suggested friends, FaceBook proceeds to suggest friends that they assume will be sexually attractive to you, as an example.

Managing risk is all that matters. Have a plan to manage the trade if you're wrong.

That's cool, but was thinking of something along the lines of what a PhD EE might conceive. Small chips out of sight using ultrasonic waves to create a detailed real-time 3d-map of a physical space, for instance.

BTC itself won't replace USD or kill America. A crypto-currency successor to BTC that eliminates the frictions for using BTC as a full replacement for fiat eventually could, however. BTC is a fascinating social experiment, truly. It o

My life likely would have been much more stable had I grown up a very rural area with a predicable network of friends and family. Instead, I've explored various parts of American society and am left underwhelmed, primarily due to the

With MySQL, there's a fairly simple trick you can do to build a queue. Set a temp var to null, run an update with a select subquery to update state of next row(s), then select that var to get your queue row pk's.

This statement is irrational. It's misguided and ignorant to state that every agent of the DEA deserves life imprisonment. This serves to detract from the discussion.

It is unfortunate that you've been downvoted. There's a bit of bias on HN when discussion of potential harms of LSD, THC, and MDMA come up. Your comment is factually correct and is a relevant counterpoint. It should not have bee

While this is merely an anecdote, this past week I overheard a barber discussing bitcoin and how "you have to get in on it". Such discussion can be indicative of a bubble approaching maximum capacity.

Your comment sums up the inertia issue nicely. To me, rethinking social means rethinking the internet as a whole. The dream of a decentralized global network has been stolen from us, and it's up to us to find consensus and work togeth

You moved the goalposts. My response was to the claim of a "few" sleepless nights, which is far from the truth for the majority of long term regular users who quit. Instead, you said that there are, "at most, a couple weeks

Marijuana absolutely can and does cause far more significant withdrawal than just a few sleepless nights. Under certain circumstances, the withdrawal can persist for much, much longer. It's irresponsible to assume that marijuana is ha
