Where did you sell it?

Why are identifiers being treated as passwords? It's 2017 and my mind is boggled that we continue to use SSNs and thumbprints as passwords. These are more akin to usernames. Why is our most important information not protected by passwords, or better yet, 2 factor authentication?

If I try to spend $1000 on my credit card at IKEA, my bank usually calls me to confirm the transaction. However, we don't have such a system when handling our most important information? Why is this allowed to happen? How many people have to be damaged before they stop watching Tom Brady throw touchdowns and get out there to make a difference?

This is not only a valid point, but a scary one :/ You can't prove who it was, if you could, then we wouldn't have this mess in the first place.

I think you and OP both hit valid points that should happen, but never will under government.

However, on the blockchain...well that might just happen, but it won't be a government running the identity system.

Was this in Dallas? If so I know which bar you speak of..

I grew up in Texas but worked in Silicon Valley for a few years. One of the toughest adjustments was going from a small conservative town to a major liberal populace. It was astonishing the number of people who got angry _at me_ for having a different opinion then they did.

At one workplace I saw two coworkers get into a fist fight because the liberal was "offended" that the conservative differed on a viewpoint.

Go to Texas and I'm sure you can find the opposite if you are looking for it. It's just a shame that we're letting society create the lens that we want to see, and we push things out that don't fit into our comfy bubble blanket.

Edit: To clarify what people got angry at me most: I told them I voted for Bush. It was simply that statement, nothing more.

Mike's bitterness is point on. Source: I dealt with the same shit as Mike.

BTW Hey Mike miss you!

BTC/ETH/LTC

Pretty much every major CDN and Google/AWS have a peering agreement that gives discount egress.

It took me maybe 15-20 seconds to "claim" my BCH from BTC. I don't think its a technical issue here, so not sure why Coinbase would create such a negative situation. Simply provide an input to paste a withdraw wallet address for BCH and everyone can move on.

Even if BCH had only been worth $0.10 people would still want to claim their free money.

It's a good way of looking at it. Another perspective, which makes this issue so complicated, is that we could compare this to: a company on the stock exchange splitting into two companies, investors should be getting shares in both companies, but the brokerage decides they are not going to recognize the second company and thus the investors don't get their shares in the second company.

You're trying to think rationally against an irrational situation :O

Nah cause I bought Bitcoin on Snap's IPO instead.

Having played Mini Metro for over 100 hours, I can attest that a light rail and a tram are not the same ;)

It can get quite confusing on the terminology as the landscape has changed so much :O
