    Would have to re-write their entire code essentially and don't have capable devs, bitcoin development community is vastly outnumbering them and all top devs are on the core team.
    All they've done up til now is basically stealing btc code and patching it up with temporary linear scaling.

    No problem, hope more people realize it soon. Will be interesting to see how 2018/19 works out for them, maybe we see an exit scam with the top heads leaving the sinking ship.

    Few hundred K, 1 million is nothing in a space where 55-60 mil are floating. We're bigger.

    They are just an exchange. You realize employees are regular people that can trade on ... exchanges. right? You know that insider trading can happen on... exchanges, right? I see you didn't spend any of your time away even learning the most basic part of what Coinbase is.

    You're just learning to trade on *Coinbase*, the super-simple, high-commission exchange designed for smaller newbie individuals who want to trade a few hundred dollars here and there. You're not bigger. You're literally making things up.

    From my understanding, BCH is a better coin head-to-head at this stage in the game. BTC has a better development team.

    This is a Betamax/VHS, BluRay/HDDVD, Dolby Vision/HDR10. Usually back-end deals and manipulation wins over better tech. As much hate I see for BCH, I would not be surprised if BCH ends up winning.

    Good analogies, I did like Blu Ray better though :), but betamax was obviously a better tech. Okay back to it

    30k would get you a little fart from us. But at min, we'd take that.

    You'd have to be cool with us, and uh, you're not so.

    Also, with 30k we need you to also have a sizable position on some crypto. Like 2-3 million on say ADA.

    Where did I say I just learned to trade on CB?

    I just thought they were more than exchange, that's all. I only use CB for spot transactions due to CC instant processing.

    Keep making stuff up.

    Oh man, insider trading.

    Tell me more. Do you expect that to happen if XRP gets on?

    He believes crypto, whether it is bitcoin or another coin, is the future. (I'm a little more skeptical, but I can see the argument) He has profited 22,000$ since he started and is now diversifying into smaller startup coins and infrastructure.

    Let's place bets. If I show some of our positions, and it's large and in charge. You step out of this board forever?

    Vice versa, if I don't. I'll step out of this board forever.

    Can we agree on that?

    If so, what do we consider large and in charge. I'm talking 700k-15 mil coins/value on different CCs?

    I'll put up or leave, if you agree. Here's your turn, too.
