Don't let the naysayers distract you, go get em' Don Quixote.

Came here to say this. Like it or not, you're already fighting a stereotype with your name.

ASP.NET Webforms all over again.

Another scumbag advisor. Seeing that name is now a confimation the ICO is a scam.

KYC is not expensive when you're raising millions. Most do them.

Basically, almost all ICOs so far are illegal.

They are only illegal in the US if they allow US citizens to participate, and the majority ban US citizens. So I think you have it backward.

You could fit over 3,000 of these images on a floppy disk.

So small it will take you 20 seconds to count on an Abacus.

Nice, left you a rating. This just replaced TabOutliner for me. Would love a feature:

Restore pinned status to tabs.

Depends. In many cases Stuff(life) > life. Having access to a toothbrush and toothpaste throughout my life enhances the quality of the life lived. A car saves tons of hours of life that I would otherwise have spent it walking from place to place, giving me extra time. A phone allows me to communicate with loved ones far away that I would never see otherwise. Books give knowledge and perspective that allow me to overcome many obstacles in life. etc.

A lot of it is worth it. Some of it is not. Time is not the only thing of import in this life, just ask any prisoner living a life sentence if he thinks he's lucky for having all that extra time.

He started with the conclusion, then went and tried to look for reasons to support it. Problem is he came up short.

Whats your point?

Bitcoin is in a 100 year bubble. Happy? Taking about misleading people, yet here you are trying to convince people it's a bubble. If you're so sure why not short Bitcoin? I dare you.

I believe in Crypto, I believe it has a future and its need in this world. If you don't that's ok, stay in the side lines getting grumpier and grumpier as time passes.

Cryptocurrencies are not mutually exclusive, this is not Highlander, there can be more than one. Look at Ethereum, already at half the market cap of Bitcoin and it hasn't affected Bitcoin's price in the least. What Bitcoin has over the others is wide adoption and mind-share. Smart money will diversify regardless.

Currently, Bitcoin is used as a store of value not so much for day to day transactions. It's still evolving, its software, and it's upgradable.

BTC is a store of value. How does the functionality of gold figure into its value?

$67,285,852,182 market cap. That's how the sense is made.

I'm neither blind or deluded. After catastrophes like the MTGox theft where trust was lost with Bitcoin, and the recent uncertainty with Segwith2x, the market has taken a dive but has always turned around. There are billions of dollars waiting in the side lines for opportunities to buy cheap Bitcoins. Weak hands lose their money to opportune investors when these things happen.

I don't see how you can compare Bitcoin to the housing market. The fundamentals are completely different.

And what happens after the dips?

People look at price history of Bitcoin, see the hockey stick, and immediately call bubble. http://imgur.com/a/ifk2b

What they fail to realize is that these linear charts plot a $5 change the same distance when Bitcoin is $10 as when Bitcoin is $4000. Yet for Bitcoin to go up to $15 when it was $10 it had to increase in market cap by 50%. For bitcoin to go up from $4000 to $4005 it doesn't need jack squat, it's a rounding error.

A better view of Bitcoin's price is in log scale. Here you can see that the growth is steady: http://i.imgur.com/R9yQ8Dk.png

There is nothing special happening now, as there was nothing special when it went from $5->$10, $50->$100, $100->$200, $500->$1000, $1000->$2000. People just want them, and they are a finite resource.

You have eaten your words, and will continue to eat your words.

Explain "superseded" to me. In the world of crypto there is no such thing.

WOW

Screenshots out yet?

As long were showing off remote workspaces, heres mine. Herman Miller Aeron + 50" 4k Samsung. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVGgCYMFhF_

That money would have had better upside if invested in bitcoin directly.

Recognize that this knee jerk reaction is your brain's attempt at dismissing the study and move on.

I commend your perfectly cromulent white paper.

You can't save everyone from feeling shitty. It's a similar argument overweight people have against ads showing fit and healthy people, they want those ads removed cause it makes them feel shitty about themselves. What they need to do is analyze why it makes them feel shitty, and if they don't like what they see, rather than try to change everyone else, they should look into changing themselves. If you accept who you are and are content with it, there is no reason to feel shitty in the first place.

Did you read the article? They ran out of funding and fired 40% of their staff. The business collapsed, not the service.

Not only while medicated. The memory issue is cumulative, it is slow onset and stays with you until at least 3 months after complete abstinence.
