I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones - John Cage
The people who are afraid of new ideas are often those who realize that the supposed new idea is in fact old and have already been tried many times before at great cost.
Nobody outside the CNN Trump Derangement Bubble cares if Trump got dirt on Hillary from another country. He was elected because a majority of Americans were tired of the usual bullshit.
If any of you has gotten other people into Bitcoin or spent time promoting it - thank you for your service. You've done more for freedom than anyone in the armed forces ever has.
"Socialism produces bad music, bad art, social stagnation, and really unhappy people." -Frank Zappa get that on the blockchain!
Art is the enemy of socialism because art springs from an individual's desire to communicate ideas. Socialist sycophants desire only to crush artists & replace them with propagandists.
Ah, that was some sad shit, can't imagine how it is to lose all your net wealth in an attempt to protect it. Perfect illustration of the "Control the private keys or it is not yours".
Also a perfect illustration of how stupid governments are.
That slack isn't a private thing by any means (else how would it leak). Cobra has been flip flopping, they fear bitcoin.org is gonna end up like @bitcoin and bitcoin.jp
I know but still. Otherwise they would have planned this conversation beforehand and I doubt that. Though I think, we shouldn't take in Cobra too closely if he wants to join the BCH...

The specific value of BCH can be calculated as a function of energy consumption of the population holding and its velocity.
Any other value offered is a price opportunity.
Everyone places different value on BCH because of the problems it solves for them. Person making international wires to family values it if fees are lower than competitors.

People storing books/quotes on chain value it for censorship resistance (so far worth ~$10/book or 0.01BCH/book).

agree, the price is a function of many things (censorship free, hard cap, not tied to central banks, uncorrelated asset class). Energy input is likely not a factor for price.

E.g. if everyone stops using bitcoin because it is not useful to them but miners keep mining. price will fall. No matter how much energy miners add price will not increase.

& market manipulations are more difficult the more volume there is. e.g. large fiat currencies (dollar, pound, euro) dont change much relative to one another. Aka stable.

Started a topic. Compose message text box takes line breaks (shift-enter). Tried to post the second message in the topic, but line breaks seems not acknowledged. What gives, any ideas?
Topics use a single line because it was meant to be more like chat. Multi-line support is intended to be added though. Thanks for bringing this up, hopefully we can get to it soon.
https://memo.cash/charts is beautiful. Perhaps revise "ON-CHAIN ACTIONS BY COHORT" to "ON-CHAIN ACTIONS BY POST/TIP/REPLY/OTHER". Trends in content{posts | replies | tipping} tells a story
Looking at the byte size (Plain text) of animal farm it looks to be about 2 bytes to encode 1 byte of plain text, and the bible has about 27 times more words, so it would cost somewher
Most books could be written in between 0.004 to 0.02 BCH, or about $3 to $16 at current prices.
