[Erdogan]

A few articles in the MSM, mostly well informed, but i had expected more fuss.

Here is one of the old farts ranting about the halving:

http://bonnerandpartners.com/weekend-edition-tomorrow-is-the-biggest-day-in-the-history-of-digital-currencies/

Notice how he explains money in the beginning - populistic, but correct.

He is a bit careful, it's not all in, but he has a significant number of readers.

Chartbuddy Archive Tread is the most active - how can you guys sleep now?

Not asleep. Just watching the price bounce around.

I just hope we don't have a massive dump.

Half my trading stash is lent out in USD on finex until just before the halving. Only in bitcoin world is it potentially more profitable to keep money in btc than take a relatively risk free 0.05% a day (compounded every 2 days) courtesy of traders!

 

[Erdogan]

I have some forwards, but gearing far less than 1. I can take a short duration dump, I could even pick up some more. I just want this baby to move freely.

I believe in a rise when people see the system is stable. Cautious at first, then accelerating.

The dump. So what. 4 blocks.

 

[molecular]

haha, nice volatility ;-)

 

[freetrader]

bitcoinwisdom down?

Could be a good sign of interest in Bitcoin :-/

cryptowat.ch too...

 

[molecular]

cryptowat.ch, thehalvening.com also with accessibility problems. There's a cnn live report (or has been half an hour ago) apparently and we made cnbc.com frontpage top story.

Add reddit frontpage and some more stuff and we're collectively being slashdotted

AntPool unleashing mega hashing power to get that halving block?

 

[Erdogan]

Now, will we lose KnC Miner?
[doublepost=1468082972][/doublepost]Haha - bitcoinity's counter stuck at 1.
Edit: Needed a refresh.
[doublepost=1468083132][/doublepost]bitcoinwisdom is back.

HAPPY HALVING EVERYONE!

 

[freetrader]

Happy halving!

Keep your seatbelts on in case of minor turbulence, apparently we have not reached our cruising altitude yet

Any predictions on the fall-off of hash rate in the next 24 hours?
I am thinking 10%

 

[AdrianX]

I'm guessing 0%

I think we saw the hash rate leaving about 5-6 weeks ago.

 

[molecular]

Any predictions on the fall-off of hash rate in the next 24 hours?
I am thinking 10%

Thinking same ballpark. Might even get lost in the noise.

 

[AdrianX]

Just to qualify my prediction is based on the price of btc being in the same volatile range as we've seen over the last 2 months.
