There are a lot of pre-mined coins such as Ripple (XRP) and some are going to move to PoS (Proof of Stake) model instead of PoW (Proof of work, basically mining). Ethereum being one. There are also plenty of PoS coins out there, although no

I'm not an expert, but I'm still up 20,000% in USD. Once I start making a loss, I'll listen to what you have to say.

It seems to be the case, like clockwork.

It's actually a great time to buy in. We've seen way worse than this in the past, and we have always recovered. I have buy orders at $6500.

I wonder what would be needed to gain 51% hash power? How many super computers would that be?

This is great. Websites are keen on publishing these comments and benefit from the angry clickbaits and discussions, they should then be responsible for them too. If it's on your website and you're displaying it, then you own it.

Fair enough :) You should write a long educated article about it!

I think the price will stabilise at some point with small fluctuations (just like gold). So soon you won't be able to make money from buying in early.

Nothing is different. I said back then it would hit $1M in 10 years, I will say the same now except perhaps now 2 years. People are really underestimating what a shit storm Bitcoin and other crypto will cause in finance.

I will say what I've always said about crypto... Keep telling me it's a bubble. Keep writing long educated articles about it. All while I consistently get rich. All while it's getting late for you to get rich too.

Yup, this is actually great news for Crypto in general. It means it will become more mainstream.

People also think Bitcoin is complicated, while their understanding of fiat currency is shockingly inaccurate.

Don't need vacations, I will need to buy a personal laptop anyway and pensions are Ponzi schemes.

Invest what you can afford to lose. That's what I did, and I'm glad I did it.

Not sure why this post isn't upvoted to high heavens (HN is generally very anti crypto lately) but what you've made is absolute gold and something I will consider looking at for my future crypto investments.

Same doom story I've been hearing since it all started. Bitcoin is real, get used to it.

Have all the fun :) While I steadily get rich. I hope they'll make an extension for "fiat money to food on table" when this whole corrupt financial systems comes crashing down (again).

Nearly 20K of them for Paypal phishing sites and who knows how many for others. While a noble intention, one can't ignore the damage they've done.

erm they could just have these verified by trusted 3rd parties and just mention they have them and not release them to Russian hackers. That's be the responsible thing to do

I have no idea how leaking highly classified cyberwar toolkit helps that cause.

You're looking at the wrong bits. ES6 has delivered vast FP improvements and awesome async support.

How about we start with racism? Some things are a grey area but some are downright harassment.

Christ you just described the nightmare scenario I've been having since hearing the possibility of the universe being infinite, which would mean a consciousness exactly like mine is stuck under a pile of stone somewhere.
