    Going to have to explain this one to me.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Markets rely on psychology as much as math. No one says their whole strategy is based on Satoshi’s coins staying dormant, but those coins have been untouched for 15+ years and are generally treated as lost. That absolutely affects perceived circulating supply and investor confidence. If those...

    Because it would destroy the core assumption that those coins are permanently dormant. None of the coins attributed to Satoshi have *ever* been spent or moved. The sudden availability of up to 1 million BTC (about 5% of total supply) could trigger panic selling, crash the price, and undermine...

    I've been saying this for a long time. A whole lot of assumptions are being made- including that Satoshi is actually dead. No one even know who Satoshi was (is)- how could they possibly know he is (they are) dead?? Events like this show some people have the patience to sit on huge piles of...

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    I asked Rogean a long, long time ago when he was still posting on these boards (or the original foh board, as it was back then). I suggested that they open a new server every few years and combine old servers. Keeps things fresh and there's always a new or newish server to play on but no one...

    I.e. plenty of time to transition away from the dollar. Agree that we aren't facing imminent collapse, but we are going to get a snowball effect as more people realize this and we drift into an autocatalytic cycle. This is especially true as it becomes more obvious that there is an easy...

    Pretty much a pattern at this point- like I was saying in the other thread. Instinct tells me there's some fuckery going on in the lag between normal stock market hours and the 24 hour crypto cycle.

    Tempest Rising - PC (RTS)

    Yeah no shit. Micro city management is for the birds. What a pain in the ass trying to keep ungrateful citizens happy all day. I'm going to build you a fucking temple, keep you from living in squalor with sewers, give you plenty of food from farms, and you're still going to hate me. No thanks.

    Tempest Rising - PC (RTS)

    Kind of sad how many games I've outgrown. For a long time I thought the newer games were just bad, but then I realized most of them were fine and I just didn't enjoy that kind of gameplay anymore. Still a gamer, but the games I enjoy have just really narrowed these days. I can usually only...

    I've tried to scoop up the BTC ETFs after several weekend dips, but the price always seems to recover by Monday.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Couldn't agree more, actually. As ridiculous as I find maxis, we wouldn't be where we are without them. You can't turn something without clear intrinsic value into the world's best store of value without absolute bedrock levels of faith from a large number of people. I still like to give...
