Couple of CSW-favorite-words from recent speeches at the high-value end of SLictionary's Word Bounty today... https://www.slictionary.com/WordBounty Atavistic and rumination looking beautiful and interesting tonite.

Mimble-Wimble Touchback-Fumble: So you think BSV has had a rought ride of late? Grin and bare(beam) it... Grin is down over 90% 2019->2020 Beam is down > 95% 2019->2020 Guess we have some early exits from the Anonymous CryptoCurrency party?

STONEY...

Gold derives it's value from the cost of work to get it out of the ground and refined. But why mine it at all? Because gold is used for certain things which will not be returned to the above-ground gold pool. These certain things MADE with gold have a value FAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR higher than the price of the gold used to make them. Here is a picture of one of them. What is the value of gold in this watch which sold for $24 million in 2014? Melt this baby down, and its still valuable as gol

"BitCoin's network protocol isn't about Nodes for everyone, it's about the Network being robust aka Nodes are replaceable & the network continues"-- CSW "Decentralization in BitCoin Nodes makes the network resilient"-- CSW "Many cryptocurrencies tried and failed, and not ONE of them used clear text (un-encrypted), but BitCoin did"-- CSW "BitCoin doesn't encrypt ANYTHING on chain"-- CSW

This could be the motive force behind all those incredible $TAAL slides @jerrychan threw out there yesterday... https://powping.com/c/fcb6cb885bad02a168a1348fa93d15c0941e6ff269f6e70587c8ce084d3615d6

"[perfect visibility by regulators and operators via BitCoin immutable ledger] That's what the gaming industry has been searching for, for the last 20 years"-- Matthew Dickson, BitBoss

CREATIVES 4 microTRANSACTIONS! Kids sometimes compete to CREATE the coolest most popular "skins" or "accessories" for their eSports avatars. Now imagine kids getting PAID to sell their popular "mods"? Maybe your lazy computer-buried kid is the next virtual Monet or Ralph Lauren? A future mogul thru design. Turn your child's distraction into a business?

Multi-tasking while watching conference... editing the next @diamondsintherough episode which will come out tonite (or tomorrow afternoon) to prepare you for the weekend analysis of all the new companies on BSV from the conference. It's the first of our "Investment ICON" series-- this one is titled "Sharing is Caring" and teaches the ground-floor methods for obtaining fully diluted sharecount for the public companies you love to follow. We do Snapchat and Unity (IPO'd last Friday), and we didn

TAAL presentation is rich in slide-cake... Check this one out for prediction of transaction-processing revenues vs block-subsidy revenues for Nodes! Does TAAL know something we don't?!! Or is this entire conference a proof-of-work for what's about to happen to transactions and block size??

Token Panel quite useful. According to @ryanxcharles 's handy defining of "layers" of tokenization methodology... Layer 0 token: Tokens using satoshis (BSV tokens) themselves as tokens. Layer 1 token: Tokens which use BitCoin scripting language inside BSV tokens to implement the tokenization. Layer 2 token: Tokens OFF-chain. EDITORIAL COMMENT: My opinion? Tokens will be safest when attached to actual BSV tokens-- aka tokens should have a definitive "PAR" value associated with BSV tokens th

Cool pic! CAN U do better?

Coingeek Conference Live NYC-London-Virtual channel is live! Jimmy's Speech finished with the powerful... ONE WORLD; ONE CHAIN If you have spent time in #BSV community for awhile, you'll absorb the concept that the great BitCoin "timestamp server" or "block chain" or "immutable ledger" only works if there's ONE. Indeed, "BitCoin SV ONE"

Tyler "The Hero" Herro just Michael-Jordaning Boston's ass with 9-11 2pt shooting/driving. Unreal. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29957859/tyler-herro-career-night-surprise-many-not-miami-heat-doing-all-year-long God bless Miami, I hope the "company man" refs give them a break again the LaLeBrows. Dragic emerged out of his post European-victory (when he paired with Luka for Slovenia) injury as the man he once used to be-- just in time too. Given a FAIR chance... Jimmy + Bam + Dragic +

"Whatever your political affiliation, Bitcoin has something for you, it's the socialism that capitalist want and the capitalism that socialist want. It's a fair system.."-- @synfonaut of bit.sv fame (where my raw articles are first welcomed into the world) Enjoy the full work: https://bit.sv/post/499dec5108b14e99d28b48b0c0dfcd5fe06edef43ad738d41f18264151aaf30d

"Louis Blériot, who was a flyer himself and present, was overwhelmed. So was France itself. There was immediate acclaim. Doubt about the Wrights' achievement vanished; people were aware that another era had begun."-- James Salter, Financial Review Some had witnessed flight with their own eyes 5 years prior to this. Yet still articles were printed that the Wrights were frauds. Isn't history amazing?

Every series has been decided by which team has the bigger market. Boston > Toronto LAL > Houston Miami > Milwaukee Miami > Indiana Boston > Philadelphia (injured Ben Simmons) Denver > Salt Lake City Los Angeles Clippers > Dallas Houston > Oklahoma City Los Angeles Lakers > Portland Toronto > Brooklyn Portland > Memphis Only exception would be Milwaukee > Orlando, but it's close, and was a 1 vs an 8 seed. So far it's been a "TV Playoffs". Given how the refs have been known to be "company me

As for powpress, really want to use it particularly for the rich editing not found on other platforms atm. But I feel it needs a monetization strategy for authors. Medium has changed theirs a couple times, but still relies on "reads" and how they interpret reads (formerly claps but that got out of hand obviously bc the claps have no cost-- something BitCoin solves inherently). Hate to say it, but paywalls have been working for a long time. New York Times, even bit.sv and yours.org worked in

"When Sir Albert Howard encountered the hoof and mouth outbreak in India, he put carriers in corrals with healthy cattle to demonstrate that feeding grass fertilized with compost prevented the highly communicable disease while the cattle fed grass fertilized with chemicals got sick. He was right. The neighbors were aghast that he kept some of the infected cattle alive to expose the healthy ones."-- One American farmer's musings on disease & immunal responses

I will drop Medium like a sack of rotten tomatoes if @Powpress or anyone else allows a paywall feature similar to what bit.sv and yours.org created. I also have some suggestions for simple improvements, for what authors might want, which can make a BitCoiny Medium competitor immediately better than the current competition if anyone is interested just DM me.

What is Cardano? It’s a 3rd generation smart-contract proof-of-stake system which has completed step 1 of its full 6 step development process. If you are confused right now, join the club. Here is the first two sentences of the Cardano white paper for more clarification: “We present “Ouroboros”, the first blockchain protocol based on proof of stake with rig- orous security guarantees. We establish security properties for the protocol comparable to those achieved by the bitcoin blockchain pro

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT? @attila ' s Matterpool seems to have something called "BitcoinFiles" A "Google Drive" competitor? (but onChain?) One might hope this also means MatterPool will b "guaranteeing" OP_0/RETURN data permanence which would b big #BSV Node news ...and there might be more to this story. https://sym.re/JwwyR9r

#neuralink. When SillyCON Valley busts out the way "out there" themes, the upCycle is almost over (<1yr). Remember CLEARLY the last buzzword (there were MANY) of the dotcom bubble was "NANOTECH" 20 yrs later & still can't name a "nanotech stock"

Department of Financial Services has a lot of power here in the US when it comes to finance, and they are already choosing-up sides. Obviously they don't support BSV, but support Binance and btc and ethereum CLASSIC! You can't make this stuff up. They are basically a mafiaoso organization, protecting the State of New York's tax revenues from big financial firms. That's why 2B2Fs don't want to leave Manhattan, they get protection, bailouts, etc.... so long as they play nice with NY State. Ob

@michaelwehrmann's interview of Ryan X Charles is one of the best things you can read on the future of BitCoin: https://coingeek.com/ryan-x-charles-bitcoin-is-going-to-be-the-largest-computer-ever/ And it even answers a long-running debate raging on Twitter amongst separate BSV camps regarding taking VC money... "For companies that are able to raise significant capital, they can spend more time ramping up the infrastructure around Bitcoin and placing bets on the future. For companies with le

Early draft of: "How to value BitCoin in the next couple years-- version 4" https://bit.sv/user/johnpitts on@synfonaut's@bitsv Full disclosure: it'll be free once it's done being edited, could be weeks or months or tomorrow, but likely a week or two.

Really hate to say this, but the CoinGeek New York (and now London?) survey is really bumming me out. What's a conference if only half the people are there? CoinGeek Conferences are a peer-to-peer non-digital MEETUP system. (mercifully non-digital)

Bitcoin Association DevCon Day 2 thread: Didn't find one today, so maybe this is it?

*The Satoshi Nakamoto gloves are officially OFF* Craig is no longer obfuscating himself, as his thoughts on things like scripting language are now officially in the public domain as of today. Is this coincidence with recent expiration of certain "trust" restrictions? If anyone would like to challenge CSW's technical knowledge-- I wish that person luck. Turing Complete, Selfish Mining, Double-hashes... there are so many things "experts" don't know compared to Craig, he's like Patton described i
