Re:Worries Grow That the Price of Bitcoin Is Being Propped Up by HN15718653 on Thursday February 01, 2018 @03:08AM (#16280311)
Top post, which I was replying to, was about a trillion-dollar bitcoin offering. I trust that you scolded him as well, dang.

> I recently created my own cryptocurrency, UCaetanoCoin (UCC), with a supply of 100 trillion and one coins, all owned by me. > I sold one to a friend of mine for $0.01 yesterday, which made me not only the richest person in the world, but also the first trillionaire, as the coins I own are valued in $1T USD. > And my UCC has a total market cap of $1T USD (and one cent). Then I exchanged a single coin with myself for $0.01. > As my coin has zero transaction cost and instant transactions (it's a badass coin), I traded it back and forth with myself 100 quadrillion times. > This generated a total traded value UCC-USD of 1 Quadrillion Dollars yesterday, more than any other security was ever exchanged in a single day.

I've chided that comment for some things, but pointing at the other person when asked not to break the site rules is kind of an antipattern here. You've posted a few unsubstantive comments; that's not what this site is for; so please don't do it. If you stick to the quality level of your more substantive comments you'll be fine.
