Where do you think we are in the crypto bubble?

  1. Very early (years left to run)

    21.1%
  2. Around the middle (could still run for months or a year)

    38.0%
  3. Very late (could end within days/weeks)

    23.9%
  4. It's not a bubble

    16.9%

    bitcoin.com is also owned by Roger Ver, so by default a BCH shill. Great advertising ploy to get it taken up by the major news agencies, especially with its clickbait-y title.

    Yeah you cant trust the average punter on silverstackers who aren't shilling coins, but you can trust a guy with a lot of bitcoins shilling his altcoin.

    Roger ver is also not a cofounder of bitcoin, so not sure where he is getting that from either.

    systematic said it, but maybe he meant cofounder of bitcoin.com . I don't think systematic realizes that bitcoin.com has nothing to do with how bitcoin was created.

    Ok, he must have misread it. Though to be fair they were part of the early people that worked to develope Bitcoin, so they are part of a big group.

    Bitcoin was released in a working state by Satoshi, anyone who worked on it later just improved facets of the original system created by Satoshi. So they aren't a big part of how Bitcoin was created, at all. He was involved in the adoption and improvement of bitcoin, as were many thousands.

    Develope, adopt, contribute, improve, market, there are many words that all convey the same message. Yes it was a big group of people as I stated and they were all important for Bitcoin to be where it is today.

    Most likely Satoshi is not a single person, rather was a name given by a group of people (maybe NSA) that worked on a crypto currency we now know as Bitcoin. Remember other people were openly working on a crypto currency idea well before Bitcoin.

    Some think Craig Wright created bitcoin under the Satoshi pseudonym ... the ATO certainly was interested ...

    I do not write the articles ... i post articles reported in the media ... what part of "THE co-founder of one of the largest bitcoin websites has sold his entire stash, saying the currency is “virtually unusable” do you not understand ....

    "In an interview with Swedish website Breakit, the co-founder and chief technology officer of Bitcoin.com — which offers various services including mining, currency exchange and wallet storage — warned very high fees and long transaction waiting times had made bitcoin “virtually unusable” as a currency."

    Right, well I only said it because you said Roger Ver was co founder of Bitcoin, which he isn't. So maybe you want to correct yourself.

    I mostly agree with you, I just believe there is a massive distinction between creating something in a pretty finished state and improving that later on. If you add a couple strokes to the mona lisa are you as good as Leonardo? Did we need art dealers to make Leonardo impressive? Maybe I guess, back to my cave to contemplate it.

    The Core team developers have stated the original Bitcoin code was not very good and they made it much better. Other programmers have also stated the original Bitcoin code wasn't that good. I'm not a programmer so I have no idea, but clearly some people think they added a lot.
    Then there is something like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. I would say both were needed and equally important. (FYI I'm not a Apple fan)

    Something like a Picasso would have needed help, because it looks like crap. :)

    Thanks for correcting yourself. Now why is the cofounder of bitcoin.com so special ? Do you know how easy it is to create a domain name?
