when the price goes down on one exchange, the price goes down on other exchanges. this is obvious collusion.

quoting almost the whole thing because this paranoia feeds my soul.

i think his whole point is that everyone who likes bitcoin wants it to go up, and it'd be in their interest for it to go up, but it's not going up, so there is manipulation, probably from people who like to smell the federal reserve's farts.

though it's actually really likely that exchanges are making the most off arbitrage, since they'd have priority to move dollars/bitcoins out of their system to take advantage.

probably a pretty good racket tbh

is this all a rally based around the 1-year-loss day? or are there other happenings happening?

nah, it probably has a lot more to do with the loss of at least 8 million dollars per month of bitcoins being cashed out through sites like sr2.

basically the worst thing for bitcoin is people using bitcoin

i did this without thinking to terry pratchett once

was a group of about maybe thirty people at a bookstore signing, somebody asked about a sequel to good omens and he said something along the lines of "people think that neil gaiman and i are a lot closer than we are"

and i, being a complete rear end in a top hat who thought he was being funny, said without thinking at all, "yeah, i've read that fanfic"

the audience howled and pratchett gave me this look like he wanted me to burst into flame, and i sort of hid behind a friend and kept my mouth shut the rest of the q/a session

he still signed my copy of "monstrous regiment" later, but he was still giving that look and i feel kind of bad about it even now

this is still a better story than monstrous regiment though, prob his weakest

what advantage does a system of self-driving cars have over a system of high-speed rails?

because high-speed rails already exist and are a proven mode of transport

you dont have to stand next to those people

Same with Bernie Madoff, he could have provided some well done fake evidence, but why bother? Lack of evidence due to "secret sauce investments" will be defended to the death by the people you're stealing from.

Wouldn't be surprising if it worked out better for scammers to not provide faked evidence. You don't really want the sort of people who would be interested in the details of your scam to be anywhere close to it, make your scam just obviously enough of a scam that only really greedy and gullible people will ever fall for it.
