That’s quite the claim. What kind of timeline do you foresee?

Well, when I typed about a bitcoin guillotine, I originally meant tomorrow - as we see today. And there was obviously some hyperbole in there, as obviously bitcoin’s value is not likely to be zero literally. But I also had the implication that when you see such an obvious pump with shorts in place, that’s becoming a pretty blatant, brutal attempt to kill a market and defraud its last participants. It’s like a snake thrashing about in dying manipulation - that’s what bitcoin is now. I don’t have a time table, but when they do this thing they’ve been doing of pumping and shorting bitcoin, and, for a change, no one responds, i.e. the price doesn’t rise, then the floor will really give out. I don’t know when that is, as, quite frankly, I’m surprised, like yesterday, that people can fall for this blatant bitcoin crap twenty times over. I wouldn’t think people could be that stupid, but apparently, they can. Possibly, by the end of 2020 at the latest? Totally a guess.

Gab is going open source apperently, and thier browser is brave with shit coin ripped out and LN put in.
But I hear a rumor of fuckery, is this more altright bullshit, and EEE targeted at cypherpunks instead of ancap?
Am I paranoid or not paranoid enough?
I think that’s a little harsh. In Brave’s defence, the project started off with Bitcoin, but supposedly had to look elsewhere due to rising fees. This isn’t a unique story. It’s an enormous shame that crypto has splintered in the way that it has, but it doesn’t mean that we should ignore the causes.
As for Gab, it’s going to be fairly straightforward to fork Brave browser, but it will be less straightforward to (1) implement BTC LN for micropayments, and (2) keep up with Brave’s browser innovations. If they can do this then I’m sure there will be significant demand for the gab browser. It would also probably be a sign that projects like Brave are not sustainable if they choose to pursue their own tokens. But all of this is still to be seen.
I like what Brave have been doing. In my opinion, the best approach is not to fork Brave, but rather to build good browser extension wallets and other plugins that give the same tipping functionality etc to your cryptocurrency of choice. That way anybody is free to run whatever software they like and use whatever crypto they like. You’re also not forcing everyone to use a specific browser. This is the most “cypherpunk” sounding solution to my ears.
Both.
Grin with three days of somewhat-calm near $5. How odd.
I also use brave. Thats trading speak, its harsh by design. My question is very much about gab.
Give it time beam is still downward but 3x. Not to mention btc swings.
Oh my god this pump and dump has taken its sweet time, but beam has lost half its value in the past 2 weeks and the volume is down 3x the last 3 days
Grin has already returned to “historical” levels of volume so I stand by my .0003 prediction.
Isn’t your prediction ATL’s?
Hard to say, we been in cloud world for a month.
Price’s are a discussion between “bulls” and “bears”; when one of them win they suddenly swap role and a new competitor appears instantly.
Currently the “bull” has been “woot, mw so hot right now, all is great all the time; beam can 4x in 2 weeks sure fam, grin can come to” the bear has been “beam is shit coin, grin shouldn’t be going with get back here”
When beam collapses, A new bear should appear, if thats more “thats allot of inflation, lets keep going down” or “this has been enough inflation but lets be stable for a while” is hard to say.
No reason to comment until the new price is set but it will at least be the old paradigm
The GRINOIRE is almost ready, a 1200+ page cypherpunk anthology coffee-table book printed on gold embossed bible paper (?!), sold exclusively at TMGOX. Roughly 20 copies left, get your collectible and support Grin development. ツ
GitHub - 0xb100d/manifestos: hacker/cypherpunk/etc historical writing to be included in GRINOIRE
;__; you cut me deep 0x, I see no historical anarchism sources or even assassination politics
had to save something for the second edition. antithetically have not been updating git as much as I should so there are some surprises
This has been a terribly boring month. I’m wondering if crypto is circling the drain now. It looks like a dead, flat sea out there…
Come one come all, ye shitcoin refugees!

We need more dump, more dumps please 
It’s time for bitcoin dump, grin pump.
In the middle of the night one day in August 2016, a mysterious person with a pseudonym named a character in the Harry Potter series, Tom Elvis Jedusor gave a primitive sketch on the Bitcoin IRC page. Shortly thereafter on the Reddit community heatedly debated, cryptographers tried to decipher what the document was trying to say. Two months after another anonymous person, Andrew Poelstra brought up an extensive and detailed development of the original document. Three weeks later another anonymous person also named a character who invented an invisibility cloak in the Harry Potter series, Ignotus Peverell followed the development and came up with a full protocol on Github with the name MimbleWimble and the coin is Grin. In just a few weeks, the project attracted many researchers, all anonymous to the names of Harry Potter characters, who exchanged work via email. MimbleWimble is the name of a spell in Harry Potter used to tie the tongue of anyone who wants to reveal secrets and Grin is the name of a witch bank in that series. The project was developed under the fund of donations from the community, which immediately attracted many sponsors from many mysterious organizations and many large exchanges. The goal of the development board is to launch mainnet in 2018 but then be postponed for safety reasons. On January 15, 2019, Grin officially launched the community. Elsewhere, a development team on the MimbleWimble protocol to develop Beam copper, the group is not anonymous, has a development company, although it was born later, Beam had launched a week before Grin. The goal of Beam is to enter the top 5 coinmarketcap, Grin’s goal is to replace Bitcoin!
