Hahahahaha Craig Wright you scammer xD I hope you lost a loooot of money with your lawsuits.

Make sure you remember where you staked your coins. Use the bookmark function to set bookmarks for the sites you used to stake. And write it down somewhere.

Trust wallet will not put much info in your transaction history on where you stake your coins. Unless you use the internal staking within the trust wallet.

Otherwise a good wallet, have been using it for years parallel to other wallets like the exodus wallet which is also very handy.

Same here, what a nice late Christmas present!

The mail finally arrived 2h ago. Next thing we know, we are going to read updates first in the newspapers I guess.

Bitcoin is Proof of Work, not Proof of Stake like e.g. Ethereum. Meaning, more non-mining nodes do not make Bitcoin more secure than it already was before. Hash rate makes Bitcoin secure, not nodes that do nothing but being spectators.

Remember:

"The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any cooperating group of attacker nodes."

That is how Bitcoin works.

Available supply 420.690.000.000.000. Trading volume 77 million, valuation 89 million.

Grmpff. You guys really have too much money to throw it at this shit, don't you? Why is this still happening, I've been watching these pump & dumps for a nearly a decade now....

Maybe I should start posting my public keys... You guys want to make someone rich, why not a redditor you can trust instead of someone anonymous who invested in some coin in some secret private sale?

Can someone reach the top of this ranking working 9-5?

If not.... Then this achievement ranking just makes me really sad for those dudes... And I guess it's not coincidece they all named themselves after fat, giant animals.... I collect single or double digit karma every month having a life and all... Collecting tens of thousands of karma every month.... Just ouch....

Albert Einstein of the 21. Century. Probably peaked ten years ago. Still. Worth listening to. Should have listened to him a decade ago.

Pff. I got into btc at 5$ and sold at 150$. Got back into it and lost it all then when mtgox got hacked.... Plenty of us early adopters were happy to sell at numbers you can't believe today. But back then it was a bit different than today. We didn't know as a fact that bitcoin would become a worldwide phenomenon. We were all nerds and no one outside of bitcointalk publicly believe that bitcoin could become a thing one day.

Its all so easy to see in hindsight.....

I remember the ETH advertising and thought....i don't have 1.500 bucks in bitcoin to invest in some teenagers wet dream to get 2000 ETH

... Lol it hurts thinking about it now... Because if I knew.... I would have gotten the money....

And so are nano and xlm transactions. The difference being: you can actually pay with visa and mastercard everywhere.

Why is that? Mmmmh, maybe because using LN comes with a terrible user experience?

2013.... Are you sure its not just an mtgox address?

Your Job is to moderate the discussions, not drive users away from this sub by dissing them.

Damn, there is really no need to be so salty.

Alright, so consensus defines what Bitcoin is. So following this definition of what Bitcoin is, the moment that the majority of the network switches from mining BTC to BCH, BCH becomes Bitcoin.

Which leads to the conclusion that Bitcoin Cash has been Bitcoin all along.

And that the graphic is not a lie at all.

FYI in September 2017 the majority of the network did switch over to BCH for a couple of days. Which is proof that BCH must be Bitcoin, otherwise this would have been impossible.

"Being happy" is not a definition for when Bitcoin is still Bitcoin. Community Emotions are nowhere described in Bitcoins Whitepaper.

The only thing that defines if Bitcoin is still Bitcoin is its protocol rules. And Bitcoins protocol rules today, 2018/2016 or whatever point in time you want to chose between its hard fork and today, are not compatible with the original client from 2009.

OP's graphic is incomplete and that's all. It should go back to 2009 to clarify that this entire discussion about hard forks is a distraction to drivert from the simple fact that Bitcoin is not Bitcoin anymore by the standards you set to argue that it is Bitcoin.

What a clown show.

The moment RBF was introduced to the protocol, Bitcoin diverged from the coin that was described in the whitepaper. That's why there was a three year debate that started in 2015 and split the entire community into factions. There is nothing original about BTC anymore today. Its a mess of transaction types, protocol rules that replace already sent transactions, and circumvention of security protocols to create a mess that it's creator wouldn't recognized anymore today.

It doesn't matter what you describe a code change as. It's a protocol change that forked Bitcoin off from the original chain, and every node following the new protocol rules is not recognized by OG clients.
