Bilaji playbook:
1. Own some significant amount of BTC (let's just say 1000 BTC (~$25M)).
2. Make bold prediction that price will rise and put $1M on line.
3. Know it will fail but it will cause market to pump.
4. BTC rises from $25k to $50k in 90 days.
5. Pay $1M, gain $25M.
If you had $10,000 of Bitcoin on July 31st, and sold your BCash on August 2 for Bitcoin, you'd have $37,500 today. If you held both, you'd have $33,250. If you sold your Bitcoin for BCash, you'd have $16,250.

Also Target and other businesses have even more reason NOT to put stores in these areas in the future, making life worse for residents.
Why pay more in insurance for a high risk area when you can go elsewhere?

It's an average, so throw in a few super expensive dates, and it skews it. Median > Average.
Some rich multi-millionaires in NYC spending a few k on fancy wine and dinners and broadway shows will skew it very quickly.
Bitcoin does not owe you anything just because you promoted it a few years ago. Bitcoin does not owe you anything because you failed to understand or plan how wide usage might change things. You don't owe Bitcoin anything either, and if you had the wrong idea, then move on.

You think AB is going to be upset if you stop drinking Bud Light and drink a more expensive brand they own instead?
Maybe it was a genius plan all along, kill off a low margin brand that already was struggling.
Old-fashioned bikes didn't use gears and to increase efficiency, the initial solution was to increase the wheel size. While shocks and gears seem like the obvious solution today, it was not obvious to many even most initially.

Beware of the latest effort to try to scam Bitcoin users by attempting to label Bitcoin as Bitcoin Legacy. Bitcoin is Bitcoin. BCash is BCash. BCash cannot become Bitcoin, even if they try to relabel it Legacy.

Bitcoin ideals are preserved, you CAN be your own custodian without any permission, you've always been free to trust anyone you want to do this for you.
Paper Bitcoin has existed since Mt. Gox.
If you sold your Bitcoin for Dogecoin on Aug 2, you would have $29,305. Literally you could have made an extra 130% buying a currency based on a fucking meme than buying Rogercoins.
1) I don't go out of my way to orangepill people who aren't ready, but if someone asks, I'm happy to help. Last year I had one of the most unique orangepill experiences.
I was completely wrong about Halong Mining. Even though they’re secretive and mysterious company and raised some major red flags, it seems they’ve delivered functional hardware as promised. I’m extremely sorry to them for my attacks and I await my shipment of crow.

was an absolute boss on stage. Ever since 2X failed and he started wearing that hat, he's turned into a new man and an absolute powerhouse in the industry. His call that most of this is buzzword junk is dead on, and I expect him to eventually be proven right.
There is no Civil War. This is just some island in the middle of the Pacific no one cares about or lives on is somehow in a Civil War with the United States because a single nut on the island claims it's the United States.
I love how the faux-bitcoin twitter account and Roger encourage everyone to use their centrally controlled block list. Remember the first rule of cults is to make sure you cut off access to outside information.
Holding USD since 1968 would have yielded a -86% return. Holding BCash since December would yield a -84% return. Literally as bad as stuffing money in a mattress for 50 years.
Roger now bribing people 10 cents to download his low-rated scammy BCash wallet. Try collecting from any other wallet and denied. Roger know's which addresses are yours, such private!

The divide in Bitcoin comes down to those who think Bitcoin exists to increase freedom vs. those who thinks it exists to make them rich.
What
@rodarmor
did was fantastic - he got a bunch of degens to all go broke at the same time trying to out-degen each other. All poof, and a way to smooth out the halvening impact to miners.
Consensus thoughts tweetstorm
1) Consensus had some of the best parts of this industry and the worst. It was amazing to have one place have so many people I've interacted with over so many years get to finally meet, or reunite with. There is so much good going on.
I think this cuts to the heart of the silicon valley anti-hodl mindset, they weren't early adopters and are bitter they can't get the gains early adopters did, simply by recognizing good money.

We merged the fix for this in June, a month before he discovered the attack, just no release since. Testing takes time.
What Core maximalists are against is economic freedom. Economic freedom means people should conduct their own research before buying anything while taking all the risks and knowing that their government won’t help them if they fail.

3) Most of these happened away from main consensus events or at after parties. The conference itself was an incredible amount of noise. The demo floor was full of dumb and useless projects, combined with scams. Was pleased to see bitcoin dot com booth empty constantly.
Sometimes I spend hours programming and then just wonder who the fuck needs this…but then I realize I don’t fucking care. I program because I enjoy it. I don’t really give a fuck if anyone will ever use this.
Bitcoin is not under attack. A pair of arrogant and incompetent developers who openly courted criminals and operated in a way to be easy to be caught, antagonized law enforcement, and jeopardized the safety of their users are under attack. Know the difference.
