Wall Street is buyin

yes, you have to be blind or stupid or both not to see the other side of the troll coin.

bulltards telling you to buy when you should sell. if you listen to bears at least you wont lose anything. you will maybe miss an opportunity to earn some money, but that is still better then losing.

we are in a long bear market, temporary spikes are nothing to worry about.

In my understanding, 300-350 is the (mental) stop-loss / short cover zone for many. Let's see

His tragic flaw is failing to accept what's readily apparent to pretty much everyone else - those still invested in Bitcoin are clearly immune to logic.
Teaching finance to the current crop of bitcoiners is about as productive as teaching table manners to Norway rats

Ah sorry here they are

Thanks

Hmmm well they are still not confirmed, I wonder what Bitmain is, will have to check it out.
But no I had 0.35 BTC in original address, I sent 0.05 to one exchange, then sent 0.25 to another brain/paper wallet then sent the remaining 0.049... to a different exchange.

Anyway I guess like you said they will get confirmed at some point. I was just wondering if there is a possibility I lose these coins if they remain unconfirmed

Thanks for your reply

^^why is this forum so obsessed with jews? ffs.

Liberation day. All my bits are out of Polo.
So who's still in BCH. Be honest

Nothing in particular. What was wrong with any exchange before it went tits up?

read properly,lol, many times i rebought when it dumps alot, i say that too lol
need to rebuy low,sell high,  rinse n repeat and put profits into better coins  :
i thought you said you did the same  

anyways, watch i bet it dumps hard anytime now...wana bet? (and dont wait a few hours to reply lol)

nvm, just checked through their documentation and it said withdrawals could take 12 hours.

I used to use Bitfinex as a wallet way back in the day. Guess that is not a thing anymore.

I think today we've hit 1% of Gold's marketcap.

188.000 mt of gold x 42.5mn per ton = 8trn usd.

Its like that game "Deal or no Deal", the best chance of a high return is always gained by going to the end and never swapping your box. But in reality its not always the best decision.

Another example, lets say you are fairly poor, and I gave you $100K, but  said your could win another $200k, on a 50/50 coin toss (Giving you a total of $300k if you win, $0 if you lose),
I don't think the decision is so easy.  
Your life is finite, so money now is sometimes better than a chance of more money the future, you just have to assess the amounts, probabilities and risk you want to accept.
  
 

BCH market is a joke. If you manage to sell BCH at current "market" price you're lucky man!

It continues to boggle minds that if some people lose confidence in one type of online digital currency (fiat), they might start to value another type of online digital currency (bitcoin) more. They are in the end both made by man, but the first is centrally controlled/issued and the second is controlled by math, rules, and the people.

Some people just haven't taken the red pill yet and woken up from their delusions that they have believed their whole entire lives. These same minds must also believe that, in the beginning with like the first 100 people, that gold and silver were valuable as money (barter) because a king's government somewhere told them it was OK to be used for that. And without that outside permission first, that people were patiently waiting around for a govt authority to tell them what they should value as money. Lol.

Oh. I thought he meant 'Roger's making money by pumping'. No?

The daft Korean newbs

I don't know Why but i Just want to make same ATH guess like last time
Rules ....: the one  with the right date of ATH gets .25 btc paid directly  (UTC time)    (closest to ATH.....)
I look to Every page in here from now When a date is picked first iT cannot been taken again ( 1st =1st)
Another .25 btc is rewarded for ho makes best of technical analyse of the time When we strike ATH.... and Why iT happens at that time.....
So This .25 also only to been payed 1 time .... and not 2 times te same explanation.... (1st =1st)

Both answers to win must been inside before 20-09-2017
Goodluck to the ones that like This 

UPDATE listmaking                 notice a * is when the person put good enough explanation for other .25 BTC  (person with no * only play ATH or have to put little better )

I feel like that with BTG - didn't stop me selling them on the exchanges that already started trading. I managed to sell at 0.08 - price is now 0.017 and falling

That's what I want:

https://youtu.be/DmeUuoxyt_E

Well, not that much, but hey, one can dream...

I just finished reading the open letter, and, I must admit, it scared the hell out of me. I have already sold all my Bitcoin Cash. I really wish things will not turn out the way the letter describes!

Wondering if we all should have kept our BCH...

Jimbo and jbreher may well turn out to be the smartest guys among us.

1) For tax purposes - Really simplifies things for that year - I need to start thinking about simplifying taxes if I'm retiring.
2) So I can properly allocate it, in one go, to institutional investments that I can consistently draw down-on before I turn 65 - When my retirement portfolio becomes accessible

 I thought about selling BTC as needed - It's likely to be much more lucrative long-term - but I'm someone who likes simplicity when it comes to accounting and the IRS.

 Either way, still have 9 months or so before I'll be doing anything.

 God only knows what Bitcorn is going to do between now and then...

offtopic:
I've googled for "longest forum thread ever" and I'm pretty sure this topic have more pages than any other topic in the Internet.
Other "longest threads ever" I've checked have not more than 150K posts.

I would argue that large mining pools are centralised on bitcoin just as in bitcoin cash.

Bitcoin could have been the #1 and solved all the problems. Instead, it retards itself to 6 tp/s and has been taken over by the likes of Adam "I invented Bitcoin" Back, Gregory Maxwell the Wikipedia troll and Luke "I think the Sun revolves around the Earth" junior. Literally a trio of Retards, at the end of the day they are nothing more than useful idiots who receive their paychecks directly from the Banksters that Bitcoin was invented to destroy. They will go down in history as Liars, shills and idiots who held back Crypto's potential for years and forced the rise of altcoins and bitcoin cash. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter - We are going to win anyway.

I'm not rich at all, but my point is that many thousands are getting into bitcoin just recently because of it's increase in popularity, they read censored forums which are intentionally manipulated and then they are engaging in obvious groupthink psychological manipulation - This is a pretty obvious tactic that has been often used by various intelligence agencies of the world. People who got into BTC earlier, IE 2011-2012 generally aren't as likely to fall for Blockstream's manipulation, censorship and misinformation tactics. And those are the ones who are now being ostracized from the community. This points to a complete rewrite of the original BTC community, it's intentions, its code, its purpose, and its future. Satoshi's Bitcoin is dead. Now it's BlockstreamCoin - A Bitcoin NOT meant to compete with FIAT, or meant to compete with banks, but rather a settlement layer for the Rich and a speculator toy to play around with on exchanges. That's Blockstream's vision. Forget about the masses. Blockstream firmly believes that FIAT is superior to Crypto (after all that's what they get paid in) --- and Bitcoin should just be a settlement layer primarily used by the already-Rich and Speculators. Christ, I can't believe it even has to be argued - it's so obvious that Blockstream are the corporate takeover of Bitcoin that it makes my eyes bleed.

It isn't much cheaper to spam bigger blocks. Why is this attack so one-sided?

@erre: I added a small, but crucial, little detail... I hope you don't mind.

Yep, and those of us who were hodlers of both sides were labelled fools and shills.  You've got to be a special kind of cocky to think only one side of a contentious fork is valuable and that you can pick which side that is immediately after the fork.  Clearly there are people who value each path.  That's why it is contentious.

I am really wondering then this bullish run is over.

Can't grow about 500-1000 USD / month forever ...

Though I would like it to keep going for some time

On the other hand: If 2018 is anything like 2017 there will be a couple of more millionairs on the horizon

Please I'd be grateful if someone know something about this :

How come the xchange rate for BTG/BTC on Yobit.io is 0.028 and on Hitbtc.com it is 0.008

Any of you know if there is a catch with Yobit ?

It's probably a good idea to read about futures to understand how they can affect the underlying commodity. If there is a price difference, people can make a profit by arbitrage. Who knows what the volume will be on CME or whether that volume will be enough to move the bitcoin price.

So, this recent rally and shit has resulted in my partner and I wanting to take an extravagant vacation to Cabo to take our minds off current pressures in life, and discuss re-adjustment of future goals (early retirement)

With all the crime and shit in Mexico, wanted to look into what it would take to legally carry a concealed handgun from Montana to Mexico.

Long-story-short: Civilian ownership of firearms is strictly prohibited in Mexico, and no fucking way am I getting into Mexico with my carry pieces.

Fuck. First world problems, huh ?

Wonder how much reliable, professional private security details cost in Mexico...

Sheeit.

And if you wonder what's the culprit here you go:
https://tether.to/tether-critical-announcement/

Soon you'll read more about tether scam.

fasten your seatbelts in the meantime.

What'd I tell you guys? That was the last ATH bitcoin will ever see. People are finally waking up to how much of a failure this project is. Here, if bitcoin gets over GDAX ATH of $11,485, I'll give the the first person to quote me here the last of my bitcoin, which is 0.1 BTC.

You're too late for the bitcoin that nobody will ever see. It's not going to happen. I've been studying bitcoin for a long time. I know this market, and I have confirmed sources that it's done for.

This is just market noise as we continue the definitive move down that began in this most recent crash. If you're excited by the price now, then you just don't appreciate the confirmed facts of the bitcoin failure.

Looking at the 30 minutes chart on bitcoinwisdom, for Bitstamp and Bitfinex, if you look at the volume bars, they are very similar. Aren't they supposed to be two separate exchanges?  There is never a volume spike in one that is also not present in the other.  What is gong on?

Noted

Paid my bills   I urge erre to sell what I sent, of course, as bitcoin is clearly in the final gyrations of total failure.

Someone sure as hell flooded the market with new money between the time he called bitcoin a fraud, and now that his company is calling it the "New Gold".

Let's say you had access to billions of investment dollars...  And you want to open a lot of short positions say... oh I dunno... December 10th?  What would you do with bitcoin between august and then...  and then what would you do right after Dec 10?

The FOMO is unreal boys , even my grandma asked me how to buy bitcoin

So let's say I have more than 10 BTC and less than 20.  (cost basis around $600)

Two women in my office have watched me go nuts all year with the price increases.  I wish they bought in, but like most, they just feel like it's appreciated too much, and it's too late for them to get in.  Plus they don't have as much extra cash just lying around.

I thought of giving them a paper wallet for Xmas with some BTC in it, and thought $100 apiece was generous.  If I gave them both .01 BTC, I'm just wondering -- do I seem too cheap since it's such a small part of my stash?  I mean, I don't want to part with any of it, and now their gift is worth $130.

Normally I'd spend like $25 on them.  Not close close friends, just good work friends.  

What's my play here.

I was just checking out the chart for the Dot com bubble.

The market actually only went up from about 800 to 5000 before falling back to just over 1000.
So it made me wonder, has there been a major market that has risen 10x+ over a year or less and has held its gains i.e. not fallen back near to the start price.

Tulips and the Dot com bubbles are well known, but there must be cases of exploding markets that stayed high. I am looking for a good Bitcoin-esque example to reply to the haters (my brain included!)

Took only 5 days. Silly me thought I had time until next year. But no-one took me up on the offer so here's a toast to 15k USD per Bitcoin and congratulations to all the investors.

Bitcoin was released right at a time where the bankers knew debt based fiat was going into cascading deflationary collapse since in this fraudulent system debts are considered assets instead of liabilities.  This is why the evil Jew sheklers running the system starting spamming the phrase "helicopter money" and "basic income" as an actual serious proposed solution.  The system either collapses in deflation, or they print and....it collapses anyway, just a few days later from hyperinflation.

If used as a dollar substitute, bitcoin for all intents and purposes IS helicopter money (bitcoin currently is a dollar derivative and not substitute).  So they probably released this bullshit as part of that plan.  It's just that the market was completely cornered due to ASIC manufacturers right after it was released, making distribution terrible, rendering the entire exercise pointless and not "helicopter money" anymore since the so called money only goes to a couple people.  It appears they continued with their pointless plan anyway and tried to raise the bitcoin price.  After this move completely fails to raise money velocity or do anything for the economy, there will be some type of implosion and they will do real helicopter money or basic income into people's bank accounts.

but the cleaning lady doesn't know she needs to sell when it goes parabolic so she will hold till 100k

which will only happen in 4-5 years afters years of exhausting bear market, if ever

How is a cash settled bet on bitcoin taking away command of the market?

+21! If you don't like "core" fuck right off on r/btc/ or wherever the useless bcash idiots meet. You tards have been BitCHing for years already. Here we come for Bitcoin, not your shillcoin.

Soon, the 300 physical metals, silver spear equipped goyim will put Shlomo Nakamoto's centralized tracking system and his 21 million "immortals" to the test.

Look at the 1 month chart for Dogecoin.  As usual, McAfee tweets when he is ready to dump.

A million dollars a year will soon become the poverty-line wage. The poverty line wage today was amazing money a few decades ago.

You would literally have to make like 100 million USD in crypto to be able to retire in 40 years, and quit your job and stuff.

Not much to do with your story, but just a thought!

I'm not the one asking, but I did'n understand any of that.

What is signing, what's an online box and what exactly does broadcast mean in this case?

My recommendation would be to download the Coinomi wallet to your Android smartphone, add the coins bitcoin, bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold. Then choose bitcoin and use the sweep option from the alternatives in the upper right corner to either scan the QR code or type in the private key. You now have your bitcoins in the Coinomi wallet instead of in your paper wallet. Then you do the same with  bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold. you now have an empty paper wallet (almost, there are 29 more coins to claim, but they are not yet supported by Coinomi, so save the "empty" wallet for later).
you can now use one of the two built in exchanges to convert your altcoins to bitcoin or some other altcoin  if you so wish. Then just send whatever amount you want from Coinomi to an exchange if you wish to cash out to fiat, and make a new paper wallet for the rest if you feel uncomfortable with having your coins on a phone wallet.

Ok, so box is just geek for computer, and broadcast is just geek for send, and signing is still a mystery to me.
We do not speak the same language obviously.
How a turned of phone is less secure than a computer that you geeks run all the time is also a mystery to me.
I have no problem what so ever with having my coins on a phone, you are just way to afraid of ghosts.

Thanks anyway too you all for trying to explain. I have never signed and I really don't see the need for it in my future, it seems like overkill to me.
I'll just stay ignorant and move my coins the old fashioned way.

No need to apologize, I'm not that sensitive.
There is actually a lot of guys that doesn't know how the model trains work, especially not the new digital versions of engines and controls.
They just ask what to do if it doesn't work and usually get a step by step answer, not the underlying digital tech.
And if that doesn't fix the problem they just send it away to someone who can fix it for them.

Yes, but what do these vulnerabilities do? do they have any bearing what so ever to the Coinomi Wallet?
And what are the odds that they will affect my phone in those few moments it's turned on.

Edit to your edit. The metal box/bag also protects against solar flairs and EMP:s

Speaking of, is there a reliable way to extract them from old coins?

Tried that with bcash, didn't work. Had to use a btc.com wallet to extract those. Possibly because it was from a pretty old electrum wallet? I know they changed format once or twice.

Might be worth working this out in the open rather than pm so other people can benefit as well. Need to update a throwaway laptop, then I'll give bither a try.

Alright, got bither running (on a spare phone). Set up a wallet and tried to scan my private keys from electrum, but apparently they are not in bip38 format? What do?

 Are trying to scan the QRcode for your electrum wallet seed?  Don't do that.
You have to view your addresses in Electrum, right click on them and view each one's private key separately.  Open the QRcode for it and scan it with the Bither wallet using the advanced options and
 then Import Private Key and then select From Private Key Text and scan it in.
 

People claim that but it's not really true, it's because the class of metals known as noble metals are some of the few substances that fulfill the checklist of requirements needed of money like durability, portability, scarcity, fungibility, divisibility, etc.  

Or to put it differently, gold does not react with oxygen or water, and the planet is covered in both, so it's one of the keys to the durability checkmark.  Silver also does not react with oxygen or water, but it will tarnish from random hydrogen sulfide it runs into in the air.  This means for human purposes, gold is more inert and money is supposed to be as boring and unchanging as possible.  However, the overall durability and inertness of gold, silver, and platinum is mostly negligible when compared to one another, and especially against all other competing non-noble metal substances.

Gold has the benefit of being more inert for human purposes in this ecosystem, but it's also softer than silver, so would actually be less durable in that regard, giving pros and cons to both with gold not actually being a clear all-around winner.  The purpose of the durability is to transfer generational wealth from one person to another, acting as an actual decentralized blockchain without an exposed power vacuum to be taken over and turned into a permissioned ledger monopoly, unlike bitcoin.

Yes, it's true, metals are the real blockchain and bitcoin is a poor Rube Goldberg imitation with huge overhead, built-in middlemen, and non-removal of counter party risk.  As can be seen by comparing the aging of Roman coins, both metals fulfill the role of "durable" and inert enough with the various differences being mostly a wash as talked about above.  These pictures are of a blockchain that's billions of years old.  How old is your shitty blockchain?

I'm not sure what's going on. Why isn't there more buying pressure? sub $8k seems very cheap to me

I love when they say goes to zero. Then I will by all bitcoins for zero and sell it for 0.00001$ and will be infinetely rich!

For the 4000th time, bitcoin has built-in middlemen and does not remove counterparty risk.  It also has non-blinded transactions and designed to centralize transaction validators, making it a permissioned ledger and anyone that uses it a cellmate in a digital prison.  It's definitely not money, just some guy named Shlomo Nakamoto's scheme to trap people in the 1984 system described by Aaron Russo.  Shilling for craptocurrency is shilling for the Jewish banker occupied state and against freedom in the end, and you're definitely not going to become an Aryan superman doing that.

"meaninglessness" is not a valid economic measure of monetary inflation ... 

currently BTC's own inflation rate is 144x12.5x$10k = $18 million per day (quite a bit of moolah but assume adoption is soaking this up)

now as long as the parasites can lock their prices to btc, i.e. maintain btc:shitcoin ratio constant, let's have a look how much extra inflation crypto has to soak up from the parasites;

- aether 5760x3x$815 = $14 million per day a major parasite on the crypto space, dumping shitcoins with abandon from the pimply-faced russian uber-whiz

- Bcash 144x12.5x$1.5k = $2.7 million per day major bloodsucker riding on bitcoin branding confusion and adding network confusion also

- Ripple ~ who really knows how much they dump since they have 80% (billions) of coins locked to be released at developers/banksters whims (or lawsuits)

- then you can start counting the hundreds of other seriously shit coins and tens of bitcoin chain forks all issuing and dumping coins into the markets and absorbing real fiat inflows

BTC price needs to go on a deep dive to shake off all these scum ... who's with me?!

Is this worrying to any of you veterans?

BTC/USD Bitcoin then, March 10, 2015 = $242.54

whats all those numbers under people names? is this like those social credit scores China does? How long do adults plan to treat other adults like children? UT OH YOU SAID A BAD WORD I'M GONNA TELL MOMMY!!! OH I guess i'm not polite cuz I don't like fags. Tell the government. force him to bake a cake.

Finally I know:that is what is called a self fulfilling prophecy, am I right? You are telling me that we are fighting in the dark meanwhile our hero is gaining back his strenght. Fine by me

i indeed must say these are NO words for a legendary poster 
BUT again everybody needs to see to there own wallets ....

I would like to see those enviromentalists complaining about all the resources that are wasted every year in solving captchas worldwide. If we factor time, effort, electricity consumed during the non-productive time spent solving them, psychological treatment bills and sick leaves due to frustration and depression.... etc etc... Well... THAT is resource wasting, not Bitcoin mining.

No kidding... well, at least not just kidding.

I think it will retrace to ~9400 and take at least a few days to get to 10000, minimum.

Didn't 98% of the scientific community at the time agree that Galileo was wrong?
In science it doesn't matter how many agrees with you, it only matters if you are right. If a hypothesis will become a theory or not is not decided by majority vote, but by if you can prove your hypothesis or not.
And so far the IPCC haven't been able to prove the hypothesis, quite the opposite, every model so far has been wrong.

Who are the favorites

(Small update)

I'm not sure if normal users have any significant impact on BTC prices. So an increase in use doesn't necessarily imply an increase in price.

The average person has an annual (monthly, ftfy) post-tax income of around 1-2k USD. Take 2/3 away for rent, food and other expenses and you're left with some 300-600 USD. It would then take 10m users chipping away their entire disposable monthly income on Bitcoin.
And even then it would only account for the 24h volume or 10% of the market cap.

In reality the average person probably has less money left over and wouldn't think about putting it all in, much less regularly.

The bottom line is that unless hundreds of millions jump on simultaneously there won't be much movement in the price (based on increased use).
I'm almost fully convinced that the big players are (basically) just waiting for golden and death crosses on long-term charts and thus reinforcing the self-fulfilling prophecy of technical trading with everything else just being short-term noise until a truly big change in the landscape, such as institutional money actually flooding onto the blockchain instead of non-physically settled instruments, occurs.

My response to the latest mainstream media attack on Bitcoin, this time in @ForeignPolicy. Experts and the establishment keep missing the point. Here’s

https://medium.com/@alexgladstein/a-human-rights-activists-response-to-bitcoin-critics-d50e6760ee80

i would sell some at 45k too.

The daily menu of bread and water it´s getting boring.

Venezuela is one of the cheapest places in the world (on record) to mine bitcoin because of the really cheap electricity prices. Anybody feel like going to live there for 12-18 months & setting uo a mining farm with me?

Absolutely. You are the sort of hodler that predominates when the bottom is reached.

A drop to $2k now does not invalidate the whole premise of long term adoption.

In fact a drop of $1000 soon might at least finally turn sentiment. There are still a lot of weak hands that need to be removed.

I am not going to go so far as to say that there is no such thing as a "baby bull market" but surely we are not in such a market yet.

The evidence seems pretty strong that we are currently in a bear market... however, subsequently, if the current bottom of $3,122 is not breached, and better yet $3,700 is NOT breached then there could be some later BTC price behavior that causes us to subsequently describe this period as the beginning of a bull market (aka baby bull)... but we are very far from such a defined state, and it remains about a 52% to 48% proposition that the bottom is NOT in.

Seems too early to call 48% to 52%.  

I am sticking with 52% to 48% until I feel comfortable, otherwise.  

I am not sure, exactly, what that would take to cause me to convert, but I could think of a few scenarios... 1) going above $6k and staying there with only perhaps a few days here and there in the sub $6k price zone (like we were prior to mid-November 2018) or 2) getting into the $5k to $6k price range and largely staying there for more than 6 months.  

Either of those hypothetical examples would likely cause me to convert from my current thinking of 52% to 48% (aka bear market) to a renewed thinking of 48% to 52% (aka beer market).

Yeah, but I have never eaten bear before, so maybe that is part of the reason that I am having difficulties appreciating the current situation.  

I wonder:  In order to attempt to understand moar better, do I need to go shopping for bear meat?

Yah, the guys pushing are buyers. HODLers ain't doing shit.

Posted similar question a few pages back,but got quickly devoured by pages of memes that monopolised the short attention son of WO thread... (not whining at all, I like WO memes!)

6.2% is appealing, but remember that you are being KYC’d if you deposit. Basically you are giving up your privacy for 6.2% yearly interest.

Keep in mind that if you deposit from an address, simple chain forsensic analysis will drive the G-Guys to your BTC stash.

(I said it yesterday, every day a new shit...)

here is an article with some words in it.

So? Where is the proof?

You are poor, too? 

In spite of your being around this forum since late 2013?

How come so many poor people here?

I can believe it.  The concept of 'funding channels' is nothing but a vendor lock-in facilitator that's not conducive to how people want to handle their monetary affairs at a retail level.  It's something that only really belongs on the BACKEND of two exchanges doing some kind of arb.  Then the only network topology that can form in the real world is you opening a channel to a bank and having them route all your transactions from there since they will be far more connected than you are with more liquidity to each party.

Lambos? No Lambos man. We'll be buying private jets soon...

While solidly behind bitcoin, I cannot be at the position of "only bitcoin forever".
Here is my purely behavioristic argument:

1. Wall Street (WS) largely "missed" bitcoin as more than 84% is already issued with very small (anecdotally) institutional ownership.

2. WS knows how to do "promotions".

3. Would it be easier for WS to promote a new token/coin/entity that is not almost fully subscribed yet vs the one that is already owned? I think that the answer is "probably, yes"

4. WS don't like chasing, but they do like sweet early deals.

Conclusion: BTC will be pushed first and will dramatically appreciate, but then the momentum might switch to "shitcoins".
Which ones's?
IMHO, the one's that are under-issued: XRP (since Ripple can make sweet deals at 40C now with appreciation later), watch out for Ripple issuing billions of coins from their 66 bil "stash", maybe ZEC as only 6mil out of 21 mil were mined so far. Don't want to mention newcomers, but watch out for large tranches of coins being allocated to WS hedge funds and institutions from some new and upcoming chains.

Personally, I don't think that ethereum would show large appreciation due to much competition in the area (POS) where it wants to compete.

One can, hopefully, design a strategy where potential profits in "shitcoins" would be transferred to bitcoin in due course.
I don't intend to sell any bitcoin (and certainly not for shitcoins), hopefully, until retirement or some unforeseen urgency, but some cash allocation along the lines that were mentioned above could be interesting. We shall see.

Titanium training remains as a firm morning ritual.

Does little to salve the pain of existential angst, however.

It's kinda fucked up in a way. Retire. Read more philosophy. See how partner is suffering. See how self needs are not being met. Try to reconcile all that selfish shit in my mind about what is more important: Our overall life together benefits vs my personal relationship needs not being met.

Therapy: It does nothing. No need to adjust meds, in my own mind, and therapist agrees.

Bah.

Life is meaningless.

EDIT: And NO. There is no need to worry about me. Not suicidal at all, if anyone was concerned about my state of mind. I have way too much to live for, and still so much I want to accomplish with what time I have left in this plane of existence.

EDIT2: And yeah, glad I have that fuckwit JJG on ignore. A pathetic example of an utterly impotent peacock.

Beaten and bloody since last time but stronger than ever.

I thought it was agreed that we wouldn't do the party on US soil, for our various international friends who have problems stepping onto US soil ?

Canada in the summer is nice (British Columbia ?), although I think somewhere in Europe might be an alternative (Spain ? The Netherlands ? Belgium ? Someplace that has no trouble with English)

Mexico or anywhere South America are out of contention for security reasons.

Haha, you do realize you can block that didn't you?

Check it through a proxy if you don't believe me.

That's about the time I got my titanium yoyo for 4 btc. I still have it. It's a daily reminder to HODL.

Who invented the shat next 24 hours are critical?

You braindead, idiot scammers in this thread have NEVER once explained how the price of Bitcoin can go to $500k or even $50k while cost of production is $3-6k.  Nobody would ever buy a coin for $500k when they can simply mine one for $3-6k instead.  And mining CAN'T expand by an order of magnitude to drag cost of production up or it would use more power than the entire United States.  The crypto pump and dump scam seriously is butting up against the limits of the natural world now but that sure doesn't stop you scammers from posting complete bullshit 24 hours a day.

I want to be clear here.

I used to listen to a good bit of Alex Jones, way back in the day when the only way I could get it was on the shortwave in between the Armageddon preachers.  I have been something of a student of conspiracy since my early adulthood.  Paying close attention during Iran/Contra and the secret wars in Central America will do that to you.

Also, I have always liked to mix up my information inputs.  In a media environment where nearly all content is propaganda of one stripe or another, digesting a diversity of inputs is a good way to train one's mind to recognize bias.

I will also say, Jones' account of his infiltration of the Bohemian Grove event in 2000 remains very entertaining radio indeed.

All that said, there came a time, right around the turn of the century, when he reported on historic events with which I was personally intimately involved, and I listened to him get it, completely, wrong.

I won't elaborate with specifics, but he characterized an occasion of social unrest as a government organized psyops effort that I knew was in fact a very organic grassroots upwelling.  It has been impossible for me to take much of anything he says seriously since.

Attention! In my country (central europe) there was a higher radioactive exposure after the radioactive rain on the saturday.
Apparently Russia had the accident again. Amount of radioactivity in my country was doubled but it's still not very high. But if you want to prevent or lower the risk, here are some foods that protects you from the radioactivity.
[...]

In Slovenia (central Europe)
you could find on this national site
https://www.radioaktivnost.si/rvo_public/RVO/Map

There was a spike after the radioactive rain. There is no more high exposure but the rain already felt down on the ground. So i wouldn't eat any mushrooms right now  

Page count slow rising.

When page parity?


Almost 25K pages WoW

This is the 6th fresco crowdfunded by the crypto community with a #Bitcoin QR code 🎨, located in Paris (Ivry sur Seine), on the roof of the old gold fundry of the Bank of France.

Could you find what's the link to Bitcoin in the painting (besides the location and the QR)?

Yep.  Especially if you poke them by engaging in arguably illegal conduct.  Go figure?

Individual freedom is a threat to every authoritative system. In Austria, early this year, 24 members of the self called "state league" were arrested, because they didn't obey to the government. Many preppers amongst them, almost all with rightist political orientation. Groups like this were forbidden by law in the process of crushing it.
I don't think freedom is possible easily on earth, at least it could become a nightmare without proper ethical rules, which in turn would not allow individuals to be really "free". There were some important psychological-ethical discussion that all came to the conclusion that freedom is impossible to achieve in societies, primarily because social relationships are based on dependencies. Also, love, for example, wouldn't be possible without (inter)dependency.

Like a cabbage. I'll steal this!  

Oral route is a wild thing. It takes a little more to get thresholds effects, but once that line is passed, you're in for a looooong ride. There are a few people who actually enjoy that, but at least in the sample population of my stoner friends, it's a definite minority. Worse than psychs IME.


Yes! A few drops in a latte or something require little or no cooking and can give a humanly bearable stone for only a few hours.

On the other hand, Baudelaire used to gulp down like 3 grams of the good stuff and then off to the theater. They didn't have Marvel back then, but I suspect it all looked like Spiderman 14: The Vortex to them. 72 hours straight could easily break a lesser spirit.

The classic edible experience;

T+0:00 subject ingests recommended dose

T+0:30 no effects felt

T+1:00 still nothing, did I get ripped off?

T+1:30 this shit is bunk, WTF, subject eats remaining product

T+14:00 still curled in fetal position behind freezer in the garage... DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!

However, if the system can't be changed or protected from evil, speculative forces, what would possible solutions for hodlers and adopters look like?

^As I said, even if you're Warren Buffet you probably couldn't find "several cargo trucks" of silver for sale.  You're going to see a lot of people who thought they were rich swimming naked in the future with absolutely nothing to their name.

SWIM (the stepdad of a friend of mine) dropped out on those regularly. He offered me/us to join, for a 6-8 hour deep experience of timelessness.
He also said, that they have to be dried thoroughly to transform the poisonous ingredients into their psychoactive metabolites, besides that there are a couple of active substances in them already. He said something about the red skin, which i unfortunately can't remember. Either it has to be left out or eaten separately, but the shrooms have to dry on a net (from above and below) as a whole.

I can't imagine that there is no youtube video on the correct preparation for safe digestion. As safe as a full fledged LSD-ish turn can be.
So don't forget the set and settings stuff before.

If in doubt, smaller doses might be safe enough as a start. The dude i referred to above was a grown out original hippie in his 50s back then (late 90s) and took these bastards as a whole, which he didn't reccommend to starters.

Stay safe.

OT: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/04/study-single-anonymous-market-manipulator-pushed-bitcoin-to-20000.html

Funny that this hit piece was designed to discourage people from buying Bitcoin. But instead (whether true or not) it's actually a positive.

If this happened with supposedly just one manipulator, just imagine what would happen next time with "multiple" deep pocket manipulators? Perhaps hundreds? Lol

#getinb4moon

The chart is a perfect example of you people, seeing as how in the Bitcoin developer channels, there's virtually nobody who believes Bitcoin is too big to fail and when some big price implosion happens, you even see people question if sha256d was broken or something.  So everyone knows it's all built on a shaky ground of bullshit that can implode or be blackswaned to nothing at any second.  

Yes, sha256d is supposedly 'secure' today, but it won't be sometime tomorrow, and if it's required to have a 24/7 on-call Best Buy tech support team to constantly micromanage this nonsense and constantly alter even the bedrock foundations of which it's built on, it's obviously a Keynesian bullshit scam, unlike physical metals.  Metals do not require Best Buy Geek Squad to constantly tamper with them in an attempt to prevent them from imploding.

If that 4% thing is right and you have enough coins. You can get 4% from freebitcoin

So you could withdraw the 4% eternally without degrading the principle at all

Oh and without the 20x longs
