guy's point: peer to peer eliminates banks and makes it very difficult for govts. at least in theory. as a practical matter, bitcoin and cryptos await effective security. but that will be solved in a few years, it's a very new area.

Default Peer to Peer Decentralized Media, on Blockchain

https://livepeer.org/

"No single company or individual can control the network.

Nodes are paid for providing capacity to the network using Livepeer Tokens (LPT) - the network's own dedicated crypto-currency."

I know nothing about this particular site or crypto-currency, but it's like Steemit.

Unless there is Govt. block of using certain crypto currencies this way (and there could be), I think you'll see an increase of use of this type of thing, to get around the censors and to combat de-monetiziation of vids and such.

The way Steemit can hide videos if the anti racists who dominate that space don't like them, vote the person down, which 'hides' the vids, and they can't make any money---a network that is 'dominated' by WNists would of course be the opposite of that, should someone build such.

Not sure which way livepeer leans.

There is still a 'sabotage' capacity here, though, depending on who is using the medium and how they 'vote'.

But it's a new, potentially useful avenue for alt media.

yes, very interesting. i'm studying all this stuff intensely now. it really does appear there is a major shift just starting in the last five years. the question is how the govt and banks that control it and jews that control the banks will respond. it appears one of their first responses is Ripple, promoting that to suck bitcoin away from smart investors.

That end of it will be key, but in the meantime, take care what wallet you use if you invest, there are scams. Look at reviews and go with what has clearly been the safest.

Default Bitcoin prices might drop by up to 80%

Some of the experts are saying if bitcoin's tether is revealed to have been artificially increasing it's value, it could go 'crashing'.

They refer to it in an alarming tone as a 'bloodbath', oddly.

Default Where is the Bitcoin price going?

In the long term BTCUSD is trending up, in the medium term BTCUSD is trending down and in the short term BTCUSD isn't trending because the price is triangulating. We can even see a smaller triangle inside a bigger triangle this means price could keep going up and down in the short and medium term inside those triangles.
Until the price breaks $14k the long term uptrend will not resume. There is a danger sign for bitcoin holders if the price can't sustain itself above $10K because it will break the long term uptrend and the price can fall substantially like to ~$6K-$8K interval.

This isn't trading/investing advice it is just my opinion.

That's interesting. Not that the 'regular' money system is always easy to navigate, but this is all very confusing for people, it's so intangible and new. And it's hard to predict what will happen legally with any kind of certainty.

I must say, I don't like things that are intangible for a variety of reasons: on the one hand, it is a new thing that offers people a certain freedom from the Fed Reserve and whatnot, which is good (and it's why they will find a way to control it eventually if it's allowed to continue), it is one more thing you can't hold in your hand.

May sound retarded but that is my view, everything is going the way of easy to download and easy to erase, and no real trace of it's tangible existence.

Would help serve a Global entity quite well, and keep people confused and scrambling to figure out where their stuff is, since it's floating in the air, all digital.

It goes back to the record player argument. All the Luddite tards like myself who don't like digital music, we want a giant album with giant album art that we keep on a shelf for decades. We know where it is and that it belongs to us.

Perhaps that is an 'illusion' with paper money really, since it is as capable of being 'worthless' as anything, but the intangible factor of blockchain technology is a bit disturbing if you think about it.

I regret not pouncing on the opportunity years ago to buy some bitcoins when they were cheap. I was considering buying about 10 bitcoins, when the crypto-currency market was in its infancy.

There are some alternative crypto-currencies, some of which are still priced reasonably. Like low enough for small ball investors to still get in on. So the question I got, is it looking like any of these other currencies might have a similar boom like Bitcoin did? Or is this just a one off fluke?

What happens if one of these other crypto-currencies offers the best security options first? Will it dethrone Bitcoin as the top crypto-currency? Is it worth making a small ball gamble and buying a little bit of each one of them?

Default Nothing goes up forever

I am kind of bearish about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies right now.
You can see several countries governments and regulators becoming increasingly hostile with non-regulated exchanges and digital money markets.
I think they are trying very hard to burst the bubble and make the public lose a lot of money so they can return to the old fashioned commission brokerages and gamble in the stock market or futures exchanges where bitcoin is traded as a commodity where they always seek for new liquidity.



They also are trying to make it more difficult to convert bitcoin in fiat money and vice versa because banks are getting scared of being fined by regulators for dealing with unregulated markets and debit card issuers are denying service to bitcoin payment providers which makes it very difficult to withdraw your bitcoin balance in fiat money in an atm or by bank tranfer.

https://blockonomi.com/cash-out-cryptocurrencies/

They will use the anti money laundering, anti organized crime, anti terrorism financing and anti tax evasion laws to crack down on the whole bitcoin ecosystem.
If that scenario plays out it could be like the dotcom bubble where the blockchain technology will remain and will be widely used in the future but many of the well known players won't survive these could be coins, wallets, exchanges ...

Ethereum is interesting because of its capacity to be used in media. I’m not up to snuff on the topic to answer the rest—mining is something that you can make a small income doing from home, too, that is one end of it not often talked about. The equipment pays for itself in about a year, assuming you have low cost electricity. We have very cheap electricity in ND from local lignite and coal, it’s half the cost as Texas for the average monthly bill.

I just found a 'Hot' post on Steemit about race that is making money.

These techies types usually are liberals and semitical correctness fanatics.

https://steemit.com/biolgy/@ertwro/race-and-evidence

Look a this 'Trending' post celebrating jew-commie Saul Alinsky anniversary.

https://steemit.com/history/@fatkat/...n-109-year-ago

Facebook made the decision to ban all ads related to Bitcoin, ICOs, and other Cryptocurrencies.


People on our side that get censored shouldn't leave the big social media platforms. Instead of leaving they should promote there the websites where they are allowed to express themselves freely and share links to their posts.

Making an anti liberal social media marketing campaign could hurt more their pockets than just leaving because we need the normies leaving them too.

I see a lot of people with the fear of missing out but there is the possibility that in reality it is too soon to invest in Bitcoin just look what happened with google or amazon after the tech crash.

These are interesting 2018 updated videos about bitcoin mining.
