Do you know how much, quantitatively, a dump like we saw with Mt Gox (~35,000btc) would impact the market? I believe it's not a straight 1:1 impact on market cap when a massive buy or sell order rolls

Do you think it's too late to consider oneself early for the next btc run (assuming it happens) by stocking up now? After all, we're only a bit above the low a few weeks ago and might get closer to it

This might be the year where we stop worrying about btc vs alts. As use cases become clearer and the number of them explodes people will see that it's far better to have many specialist coins that can

Alan Watts is amazing, but on a run? Also, loved your correspondence with Cedric Dahl about network effects. This year we might find out just how important it is. Keep up the great work!

Thank you richatvns!

So we should do the opposite of what he says and we'll win 90% of the time? I think I will follow him!

Japan is positioning itself as a hub and leader in the crypto space. Such a smart move on their part because they are going to have some serious financial challenges due to their aging and decreasing

We had that bounce at 9000. Wonder if everyone was expecting 8000 so they put their buys a bit higher? Anyways, bitcoin seems just about locked and loaded so we'll see.

Yeah, why not just get both and hedge?

This might be good news for miners everywhere else. Less miners would probably mean lower difficulty.

Funny thing is everyone talks about Bitcoin's transaction problems as if that's going to be its downfall, but how bad is BTC's position if we really consider it? Right now nobody in their right mind wants

Agreed. I've only been in this for about a month, but already things make a bit more sense if you value them in satoshis. For example: mining. I'm getting paid in crypto, and when I factor that in the

Yes. Of course, if I'm a seller I'd rather take payment in cryptos for the same reason I'd rather buy in fiat. But governments can still force sellers to accept fiat with their legal tender laws.

This seems to be an issue with crypto in general. Why would I even use Litecoin or BCH if I know it's value is going up vs fiat that will go down?

I'm happy that people like you are joining Steemit! It will make all our experiences richer. This is also a great example of how tech can make our lives so much more interesting if we have the courage
