Bitcoins

Surely GZA or especially killah priest would be more apt??!

The son of Ol' Dirty Bastard, the late hip-hop artist and Wu-Tang Clan member who passed away in 2004, is launching a cryptocurrency.

Young Dirty, real name Bar-Son James, is the face of the appropriately named Dirty Coin.

What role does Ghostface Killah play in Cream Capital?

Ghostface Killah serves as a vessel to increase brand awareness surrounding Cream Capital and cryptocurrencies. He plays a very active role in the day-to-day business operations and direction of the company. He understands the fundamentals of blockchain technology and the importance and gravity of the technology. He is not a random celebrity that is lending his name to a project. Wu-Tang is for the children and the children will use the blockchain.

I liked the “Prison breaks in Iceland usually mean someone just fled to get drunk,” quote.

I love Iceland

brilliant story.
made my day yesterday when i heard about it.

did anybody else think for just a moment, like i did, that the king of Swaziland had renamed his country after a cryptocurrency?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/19/swaziland-king-renames-country-kingdom-of-eswatini

are there any movies about "big bitcoin heists" yet? Can't wait for the Hackers-style attempts to make typing into action.

the entire movie is composed of screenshots

feel like I finally understand how a blockchain works after reading this: https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/fgfvoprgbu251kjgrxys.jpg

stupid cryptocurrency

Over the past two years, and especially during 2017, when the price of a single bitcoin jumped from $1,000 to more than $19,000, the region has taken on the vibe of a boomtown. Across the three rural counties of the Mid-Columbia Basin—Chelan, Douglas and Grant—orchards and farm fields now share the rolling landscape with mines of every size, from industrial-scale facilities to repurposed warehouses to cargo containers and even backyard sheds. Outsiders are so eager to turn the basin’s power into cryptocurrency that this winter, several would-be miners from Asia flew their private jet into the local airport, took a rental car to one of the local dams, and, according to a utility official, politely informed staff at the dam visitors center, “We want to see the dam master because we want to buy some electricity.”

HFS am I ready for a crash

Alas, you can expect the price to shoot up again when the inevitable next financial crisis hits.

With the many problems banks and central banks have caused over the y eas I think bitcoin is looking better all the time. At least bitcoin is not just created magically with nothing to back it.

The price of bitcoin went way up last year and crashed but since its creation in 2011 its steadily risen. I don't see why it would fall in the future. Of course no one can predict the future, but it seems like , as you say Trotsky, its a hedge against human bungling and greed in the global financial scamworld of banks

bitcoin is not just created magically with nothing to back it

yes it is

what about the hash!

can I eat hash

The price of bitcoin went way up last year and crashed but since its creation in 2011 its steadily risen. I don't see why it would fall in the future.

hard to know you've reached the bottom of a crash. depending on when you thought the 2000 telecom crash hit bottom, you could be red for a long time, even with a steady rise.

you can eat it , smoke it, and verify worth with it

the central banks are regulated by stodgy politically motivated reptilians - I'd rather rely on a mathematical function

so hedge with ethereum investment?

hedge with a storage space full of funko pops

hedging a blockchain investment with another blockchain investment? LOL

but be careful -- diversify your funko pop category portfolio. it's a jungle out there.

xp tbf he could hedge btc with btc...futures. now we're making money.

it seems like if you had something like blockchain wallet and coudl exchange bitcoin and ethereum with minimal fees you could play them off each other like north lorea plays the US off china

so how do you buy derivatives or something where you make money when bitcoin falls in value - God the world of finance is so freaking convoluted

there's a site that lets you do just that but you can't use it in America

forget it ! Its bitcointown!

here you go my friend https://www.bitmex.com/

Bitcoin is virtually useless as a currency but as a commodity you can gamble on it's pretty good

The CFO said Goldman is working on a type of derivative for bitcoin because "clients want it."

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/06/goldman-sachs-cfo-calls-reports-of-shutting-down-crypto-desk-fake-news.html

"A trader wants to goes long 10 XBT of TRON futures contracts, which trades at 0.0200 XBT. As the leverage is 20x, the trader only needs 0.5 XBT of margin for this trade."

now we are getting in too deep

you can do 100x leverage. shoot for the moon. even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars

McAfee

The first Bitcoin forecast that I want to discuss with you is by John McAfee, the creator of the popular anti-virus software McAfee. McAfee is well-known in the cryptocurrency industry because he makes lots of insane price predictions on Twitter, however, it has since been revealed that crypto projects pay him more than $100,000 to do so.
Anyway, in 2017, MacAfee said that Bitcoin would reach $500,000 in 2020, and if it didn’t, he would eat his private parts live on TV! If you didn’t think this was crazy enough, McAfee then increased his Bitcoin price prediction 2020 to $1 million! To be honest, he seems rather confident to me.

I went to my local coffee shop and the barista didn't talk to me about it. The delivery guy as well, not a word, zip.

Even in my local bar, I must have overheard 3 or 4 conversations, every one literally the same, not a mention of bitcoin. Even the bartender was at it, ethereum, ethereum, ethereum, literally absent from every sentence

is it.....time to go all in?

A couple years back I used to work at a BTC-related startup, which was hell, but I met some cool folks there. I've now reunited with the good people at another startup in more or less the same sector. It may drive me insane in a year or two but in the meantime, I gotta eat.

no shame. got those bits yo

It is interesting, when you're in the space, to observe the interaction between true believers and cautious employees/careerists. I'm beginning to realize the latter group dwarfs the former at this point in time.

this could probably lead to a wolf of mt gox book deal someday. Take notes!

joeks but hoping this all goes well for you

I feel like the popular fervor has died down now but I kind of expect there to be another wave next financial crisis. It will play the role gold did last time.

this could probably lead to a wolf of mt gox book deal someday. Take notes!

I literally said "love to do crimes on day one" aloud to a co-worker after a client asked us to perform an ethically dubious task lol

The next financial crisis will be huge for crypto for sure.
