Looks like another Bitcoin v. Bitcoin Cash argument thread getting started again. I'm getting really tired of this.

> producing video games that make people stupid Why are you such a pessimist? Not all video games make people stupid. In fact, some strategy / simulation games actually require a fair bit of work.

Elon Musk lives here, in Southern California, where the population is incredibly sprawled. Public transportation is almost useless here. Buses run late and are somewhat dangerous, trains do not cover much if any of the three counties, and m

Problem is, the only trains here in Southern California go in the L.A. → San Diego direction. I would love if the 91 had a railway running in parallel, but unfortunately that doesn't seem likely.

That's incorrect. RAID is a system build on top of hard drives for redundancy. Redundancy (for this use of the word) is simply duplication across multiple hard-drives, which doesn't require a system at all.

I don't agree — that's why things like redundancy are commonplace. :D

What about that doesn’t make sense to you? Almost all species do that — humans included. Literally: Some families in New York City have been in the same burrough since their ancestor’s arrived from Europe. This can go for anywhere on Earth

Y'know, after a decade on Internet forums, I've found saying "I know I'm going to get downvoted, but—" usually leads to downvotes, while simply stating your position gets judged on actual merit rather than self pity

Jesus F. Christ, you’re right. Just shows where humanity’s overall priorities are, funny enough.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, I actually appreciate your correction, but was trying to mainly say what you said in the second half of your statement.

I completely agree with you — you're preaching to the choir, bud. But " conspiracy theorists " will make an excuse to discredit them, regardless.

The first string of comments says they haven't announced yet (besides on reddit) and nothing on their site claims anything to that affect either. Also, if the Fed barred any Bitcoin sales/buys with USD (however unlikely) almost al

If the banks cut off access to the funds (e.g.: GDAX can no longer accept USD deposits/withdraws, or possibly even the funds in their own accounts) they basically can't be considered an "off ramp" anymore. If all exchang

I assumed that but really didn't care. Language is cool like that — when you know how rules apply and are interpreted, you can break them at will.

Well, good job at assuming incorrectly. You wouldn't know by my comment that I've been in the space since '11, or that I've contributed to the codebase (however slightly). Nope, you just see a completely pragmatic view o

Ver rode the Cash band-wagon to help his position of control over the ecosystem, as did many others. Hundreds of millions of value was created — and a lot instantly lost — in a day. It's been pumped over and over again by mining pools
