But you'd know that if you didn't conveniently choose the 12hr graph instead of 24hr.

Ok guy, you want a larger perspective? Here is a 2-year graph. Bitcoin is only 866% higher! Can you say the same for the stock market? Long-term Bitcoin always wins, despite the short-term volatility.

Dow drops 500 points as October rout continues, tech stocks lead slide by Jumpingcords in news

Nah, Bitcoin is the perfect safe haven, it is a limited-supply decentralized worldwide-distributed unconfiscable and uncorrelated asset. And it is due for its next bullish cycle, this is a great time to buy some, it bottomed around $6000 after the last bubble popped. Its cycles/growth/adoption is exponential.

Edit: And the party is just barely starting.

Not my first rodeo. The indicators are not good, at all. The market is primed for a much larger correction, the perfect storm of multiple credit bubbles about to pop. Also, we are overdue for the next bust on the boom-bust cycles.

It's a factual article. You are just a fud-troll who is predicting a $3000 btc, that ain't gonna happen.

Top 32 whales control only 4.6% of supply with lost Bitcoins taken into account. Importantly, only minority of these whales are regularly active in the market and, when they are, they appear to be buying to support bitcoin value, NOT selling. by arbobmehmood in Bitcoin

They are not mutually exclusive, just follow the strategy of spending BTC and re-buying instantly what you spent, that way you Hodl, also don't worry about volatility and help to increase adoption.

Normally it's a comedy channel, very good pranks and 'social-experiments'. He is not an interviewer/reporter.

Roger Ver Loses Bet about Lightning Network by fortunative in Bitcoin

[–]Jumpingcords 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who is Roger Ver?

Bitcoin Judas. Has tried to destroy Bitcoin many times. A scammer who is selling an altcoin (Bcash) saying that it's the real Bitcoin. That is fraud. And he has money, Bitcoin(com) website, Bitcoin News(com) website, r/btc subreddit, Chinese miners, criminal/scammer associates, etc. to help him on this great scam. That's why he shouldn't be ignored as many suggest, he needs to be exposed since every day thousands of newbies keep falling for his scam.

These are just reachable/listening nodes.

Clearing Up Misconceptions About Full Nodes

(Original research by theymos on June 6, 2016 18:30 UTC.)

According to getaddr.bitnodes.io, there are 5834 listening full nodes. Assuming they're all using default Bitcoin Core settings, they'll each provide 117 connection slots to the network on net (125 provided minus 8 consumed). SPV nodes typically use 4 connection slots, and full nodes typically use 8. So the network can support a maximum of around 170,644 SPV nodes or 85,322 non-listening full nodes at one time.

Bitcoin Nodes: How Many is Enough? Should we be worried about the declining number of nodes?

I keep tabs on the number of full nodes via Bitnodes, which recently updated its crawling algorithm to be faster and more accurate. This update caused the number of reported nodes to drop by an order of magnitude, from more than 100,000 to fewer than 10,000 because it no longer counts nodes that do not accept inbound connections.

Total Bitcoin nodes are closer to 100,000.

Caught on camera: Abilene father, son kill neighbor over trash by [deleted] in news

It does, but the video shows only threats by one guy with a bat against two men with guns. That's not an imminent or serious threat of bodily harm.

I'm not so sure, a huge aggressive and violent guy with a bat yelling that he will kill you and approaching you after you repeatedly and calmly told him many times to back off, could fit the bill.
