Realistically, what other tricks can the "chosen people" pull off to stop the momentum on friday / next week, legal or not?
Is there anything else than an absolute trading halt?

Post-Market is going to be a bloody holocaust, isn't it?
A single input from a meaningful figure will send us past 400 with ease, just like yesterday

i made $60k on GME
it may look like a decent gain to you, but to me, someone living in an eastern european post-soviet shithole this literally is a life changing amount
holy shit
this is not a dream, is it?

Unapproved

What the fuck is this bullshit. I paid 1.5$ for uniswap to tell me after 10 minutes that my transaction was not complete? Are you fucking kidding me? Who invented this "gas" technology. Why would anyone in their right mind pick this over binance or any regular exchange.

>Inb4 muh decentralized bullshit

I'm an Europoor and want a broker that offers options on US stocks since my current one does not.
Is IB the way to go or is there another one i should consider?

if GME doesn't go up tommorow (and dips below 11) i'm finally selling.
People screaming about paper hands can fuck off, 30% loss over one week is not worth it

so..what color is your Porsche going to be, guys?

Buying into Palantir and Snowflake en masse when they go public is something that literally can't go wrong, right?
Do we know when they're getting listed?

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven

It was also a common belief that natural disasters such as famine and flood were divine retributions bearing signs of Heaven's displeasure with the ruler, so there would often be revolts following major disasters as the people saw these calamities as signs that the Mandate of Heaven had been withdrawn.

Fuck it, I'll try to rewrite some of what I wrote about checkpoints.

Again, basically checkpoints replaces the threat of a deep re-org with the threat of additional forks.

This means that an attacker can use a burst of hashpower to try and get different parts of the network to use his checkpoint, splitting from the rest. After success he can safely turn off his hashpower since the split is now locked in. If online nodes periodically check which chain is the most popular one and then switch over, then what was the point of adding checkpoints?

Also let's pretend you're new in the network and want to sync the blockchain. But there are several chains, how do you know which one to use? The only way to know is for a centralized authority to TELL you which checkpoints are valid. If you as a new node analyze the network to check which chain is the most popular one, then what was the point of adding checkpoints?

Automatic checkpoints was a terrible idea that wasn't on the ABC roadmap yet it was implemented very quickly with very little testing and the non-ABC devs and exchanges still just followed. Some complained but in the end they followed. The checkpoint business is most of the reason I jumped over from BCH to BSV after supporting Bitcoin Cash for the whole year.

And to those that keep shouting that Satoshi used checkpoints, YES he did but he did it at a time where the hashpower was a fraction of a fraction of what it is today. Someone could have rewritten two years of txs and miner rewards for less than 25k USD, that same cost today would be several billion USD and require secret mining facilities on the moon (note: pulling cost numbers out of my ass to prove a point). It made economical sense to use checkpoints for protection back then, not now. He also did it carefully, going 200 blocks back and made sure there weren't any splits in the chain.

VERY interesting, now convinced more than ever that BSV will win.

hey guise
i got an idea last night.
one of the quickest ways to scalp for some serious profits is to find something that is up premarket for absolutely no reason (no news, shit company, all FOMO hype and no substance) and short it after the day traders pump it in the first couple minutes.

what i propose that we do is start getting these threads up in premarket, have all of us scan for shit that is tearing through premarket, then think tank together whether we think the run is legit or not, and check if there is actual news or
a reason for the run, or not. with a couple heads on this each morning we could very easily discern when a run is FAKE AND GAY, organize together after the daytrade ninjas leave and pump it, then collectively short the fuck out of it. anyone looking at level2 is gonna see it, fucking panic, and maybe we could cause a panic sell. then we simply cover our shorts and move on with the day, with a nice small profit to start the day on.

any thoughts? i think /biz/ would probably be really fucking good at calling out FAKE AND GAY bullshit stocks that are on a run for absolutely no fucking reason, and i think together, we would be really effective
