The  Greeks abroad can no longer withdraw funds from their cards, all funds have been frozen.
That might entice at least the greeks abroad to start using bitcoin.

The Greeks are buying bitcoins to protect themselves from a monetary crash according to Reuters.

This document is fresh from the press, it's not yet availible in english för som odd reason, but if you can read any of the other 17 langugeses that it comes in it is very interesting.
In short, one of the Swedish  high courts has asked the European court for advice on where Europe stands on taxing the exchange of bitcoin to fiat and vice versa. This in turn because a Swedish citizen appealed a decision from the Swedish tax authorties on paying tax for the exchange of bitcoins he is doing in his company.
The european advocat general Juliane Kokott suggests as a verdict that bitcoin should be regarded as a currency and not be taxed. The court usually go with the advocat generals suggestions.

good news !



This is awesome! Cheesy

Wow if that goes through, I may move to Sweden.

No need, the decision, if it stands, is valid for all of the European Union.
The Swedish tax authorities also considered it a commodtiy, that's why this guy is looking for a European decision.

Keep in mind that it is a decision about tax on the selling and buying of bitcoins. What the americans call sales tax. You still have to pay tax on the profits from speculation.
But the decision is very important for the implementation of bitcoin as a useful currency in Europe. It would be almost impossible to accept bitcoin as payment if you had to pay a sales tax on every transaction.

The European/Akhenashi jews have the highesr IQ of all ethnic groups in the world (app. 115).
The hypothesis is that they went through a evolutionary bottleneck during WW2, where only the very smartest survived.
Smart people will always get good and well paid jobs and will always be found at the top level of society, regardless of etnicity.
The jews have been cast out of their land for quite some time, and they have a religion that is theirs and only theirs. Those factors make people bond and help each other when in foreign lands.
All the above mentioned creates a ”perfect storm”and is the reason we see so many jews in high places.
Even if they are only 2% of the population in the USA, it makes an impact if almost all of the 2% makes it to the top.
Is there a conspiracy? No, I don't think so, it just looks like that.
The jews do after all live in the same society as the goyim, if the destroy the goyim's world, they also destroy their own.

All very logical and almost fully agreed. But this does not address the fact that they can only live in multicultural, that is, declining cultures. Which is why, yes, they do in fact work to undermine their host societies. Because ascending cultures do not tolerate them.

But they now have their land back and do therefore no longer need neither ascending nor multiculti cultures.

EDIT: Neither nor in last sentence.

This is not their land. This is Palestinian land!
They moved Palestinians to the biggest concentration camp ever existed - the Gaza Strip.

It was Palestinian land, now it's their's.
Before that it was also their's, before that it was somebody else's. And in the future it will again be somebody else's.
That's how it works. Deal with it.

Re. IQ. No-one knows WTF it is. The ones that do well by it/by the tests are, generally speaking, those that have something to do with the formulation of the measure ie. the problem is sociological.

Just recently read an article about childrens pictures of humans being the next/latest best measure of IQ. Next week it'll be wether you eat your bogies or not when you are 20 months old.


You judge a tree by its fruit.

My IQ was properly measured when I was a youngling at 160. I spend most of my days staring at a bush and worrying about my next visit to the toilet. The only thing IQ indicates is the ability to pass IQ tests.

"pass IQ tests"? since when can you fail a IQ test?

I don't see how all humans from all cultures could score the same unless they were all trained to process in the same way too. As IQs are rising generation by generation then it must be a cultural thing rather than a biological thing. You don't evolve more intelligence in one generation.  

Yes, the average IQ is rising, it's called the "flynn effect" after the guy who first noticed it.
It seems however that the rise is not due to more intelligent people in the population, nor a general rise in the population as a whole, bur rather that fewer dumb people are born, and thereby rising the average.

Intelligence quotient (IQ)
Definition:
Measure of a person's cognitive capacity relative to his or her peers. It is computed by dividing the person's mental age (as measured on a scale such as Stanford-Binet Scale) by his or her chronological age, and multiplying with 100.

What is cognitive capacity?

Again, google.
"Cognition is "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses."[1] It encompasses processes such as knowledge, attention, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and "computation", problem solving and decision making, comprehension and production of language. Human cognition is conscious and unconscious, concrete or abstract, as well as intuitive (like knowledge of a language) and conceptual (like a model of a language). Cognitive processes use existing knowledge and generate new knowledge."

No. At least no if you get rid of under 90 IQ individuals. Over that point (the majority) there's not such a strong correlation at all.

I said no strong correlation between high IQ and high wealth. Of course if we only consider people with way below average IQ there is a strong correlation, but not so strong correlation when comparing individuals with above average IQ.

So I think I'm feeling ready to make the move to accept bitcoin as an advertised method of payment in my jewelry business. I've been toying with the idea and suggesting it to customers for awhile now for the reaction.  In July, about 70% had heard of it, 1% had some but wouldn't use it, and around 30% who had heard of it said "not for me".  This week I noticed a much broader interest in bitcoin from my customers which turned into short conversations and several eavesdroppers approached me later to ask more about it.

My customers are largely middle and upper middle class.
I have a 17 day show starting this week and I've already printed the sign. BTCitcoin Accepted Here!

I've wanted to do the same thing. I own an electrical business but hardly anyone knows what bitcoin is where I live.

Well done to you.

I have had that sign on my online store since 2013, not one single person have yet paid with bitcoin. But I keep it there anyway for PR purpuses.

Already mentioned that a little later. To correct myself: In the important parts of Europe is public holiday today  Tongue (just joking)

Don't know about the "important" part, but you catholics do have a lot more holidays than we do, Luther did away with way too many saints. But still, what holiday is it?

No public holiday in Sweden, what holiday are you talking about?

Already mentioned that a little later. To correct myself: In the important parts of Europe is public holiday today  Tongue (just joking)

Don't know about the "important" part, but you catholics do have a lot more holidays than we do, Luther did away with way too many saints. But still, what holiday is it?

Ascension of Mary

Thanks.

Ok I've missed out on a lot of this increase. Just got back from hospital with our newborn baby boy. Shattered and on top of the world but also what makes it even better is a nice btc price!!

Now sleep.

Well, it certainly beats my stash!  Cheesy That's what I get for being a dabbler. However, I do make slightly more per year than 9 BTC. But with the way things have been looking lately, 9 BTC will surpass my yearly job income very soon. Yeah, I know, I'm languishing in near poverty.

I didn't mean to imply I'm any better off. But it's important to keep your composure around rich folks.

Most of the Bitcoin whales are Lower Upper class right now.( The nouveau riche.) No need to treat them like royalty.  Cheesy





The story is that he lost 700000 XMR worth about 20500 XBT on his Apple laptop. I am not a fan of Apple and its EULA's but this has to be a record for a click on "I agree".

Edit: I used GNU/Linux on a laptop that I bought from a surplus government auction to make this post .

I too am curios about the details. I liked Ristos posts back in the days. More info please.

He lost all his Monero, his wife divorced him, and he went completely, batshit crazy (again). He was apparently having quite a bit of financial difficulty, and was indebted to a bunch of people, so he may not even have many BTC left.

It's too bad. He seems like a pretty good guy most of the time.

Yeah, he did indeed seem like a nice guy. Didn't he own a castle in Estonia?

wtf has apple to do with it?

Probably nothing. As I recall, he had a bunch of people over and overlooked the most basic aspects of physical security. Then again, I may be misrememberating.


Not good to make fun of the misfortunes of others; however, I recall that Risto had some other drama a few years earlier, too... something about leaving his laptop in a conference room of a hotel and then the laptop went missing with thousands of bitcoins.  Isn't this a repeating theme with Risto, and if it were to happen once, then wouldn't additional security measures be taken in order to not have a similar scenario unfold a second time?

I think that is the incident to which I was referring. Though I think it was in the sauna at his place during an event with many invitees. I may be befuddled on the deets.

Actually, do you know how rumors can be evolve their own legs when they get batted around long enough, and it is like the game "telephone" where the last message is no where close to the first message.

It is certainly true that Risto has had a lot of drama including losing bitcoins, buying a castle, getting involved in monero, getting a divorce, being supposedly chased by the government.. and some kind of online gaming, too, so yeah, it is not very clear regarding the extent to which some of these stories might overlap, and he has been a bit of a drama queen, too, including some photos that he circulated on the internet of his personal circumstances, and even personal details that may or may not be completely true.

He has also had some incidents of health problems including psychiatric treatment, and I recall one time trying to suggest that he take better care of his health, because I saw a picture of him with a cigar and he looked really pale and unhealthy and lacking in athleticism - for a fairly young guy.

Anyhow, the laptop losing incident in the conference/hotel/sauna predated his getting involved in Monero, so if he really did lose a bunch of Monero, then that may have been a separate incident?

I believe that the hotel/sauna/conference loss, even though substantial, did not leave him in any kind of state of poverty, because, I think that he bought the castle after that with bitcoins... and maybe in the end, he tries to be a big baller and we know the expression that a fool and his money are soon parted... and if you are engaging in a lot of this kind of drama, then you are likely going to have trouble hanging onto wealth, unless you have someone managing your money for you, such as a trust.




Don't worry about the paleness, he's from Finland, they are all pale like snow ghosts.

I played a bit with the charts and did some pure speculation (imagined 2% of the world population using Bitcoin, ETFs approved and such).

It's always good to write down our goals. Sometimes we reach them Wink


Ok, here's mine. Long term btc har doubled in price visavi dollar every eight months. Last year btc doubled , this year it has, so far, doubled in price every four months, if it keeps doubling every four months I predict 10000USD
by new year, 20000 by may first, 40000 by September first and 80000 by next new year.

Having said that, the last time I posted a prediction was in early december 2014, and we all know what happened after that.

Both Bitcoins?

There is one Bitcoin and one Altcon.



Yep. That's the situation right now. And they are fighting for dominance

Both have certain properties and it has not to be a death struggle. Or is it? That was my question. Or perhaps I should ask if we are Homo Sapiens Sapiens, who are ready for this changes. The revolution has to be decentralized

Thats how common folks do it.
Personaly I just buy a can of paint that is somewhat in the same nuance and spray. Then again, my car is a diarrhea brown Volvo 144 from 1980.
I was thinking maybe buying a vanity plate, but that would actually cost more than the car.
But it's a great car, no freaking electronics that breaks down, and no car tax due to it being a veteran.

To be fair, the (increasingly large) logarithmic spike followed by an (increasingly long) 75% retractment is, probably the, defining long term pattern of Bitcoin.  Personally I think this log spike has quite a bit more to go.  Actually, I think it is just getting started.  But BNM has correctly identified the pattern.

Aren't you ignoring the fact that the  two previous bubbles were artificialy made by MtGox?
After Gox closed the price just went down to where it should have been, and would have been, had there never been a MtGox.

Now hold on a minute, let's flesh this out.  You believe the Willy bot produced the 2013 spikes?  What is your basis for this?

I don't know exactly how Marc did it.
But the price on Gox was alway higher than on all other exchanges, making all other follow. And when gox went away, so did the bubbles.
My guess would be that he just made the figures up, Willys part in that is unknown to me.

some people are just hilarious

I never said it is wrong only the wrong rationale Wink - I have invested 1% of my savings - which is fine regarding the risk/reward ratio.


It's "inherent technological design" is the blockchain. So the blockchain is "revolutionary technology" but it's broken? You are contradicting yourself. Unfortunately, most of these cryptocurrencies we have now are based on the blockchain concept, and have the same flaws.

By "technological design" I meant how transactions are currently processed and confirmed,
the hard limit on supply (which makes believers think the price will skyrocket) and the fact that everybody can know what I have in my wallet.

There are already several coins which solve some of this problems, e.g. Monero.

And that tells me you haven't taken economics 101.
How, prey tell, is a price determined?

Nothing is determined. You can have my morning turd...its unique and supply is limited to one.
Its price only depends on the amount of turd collectors. Same with bitcoin. As long as you find always new believers the rocket will fly.
A healthy economy needs some amount of inflation. Why should I buy something if my currency is more worth tomorrow. Yes I know this argument has a beard but enlighten me.

there is far better tech that will provide complete anonymity, and this tech can and will be added on top of bitcoin. ( third layer?? ahaha!)
right now things like Ether and Monero, bcash, they have an edge, somthing that adds utility and sets them apart.
but sooner then you realize, bitcoin will have better solutions then anyone of these altcoins... and then what are these altcoin worth? not a fucking thing....

Sure, "Bitcoin" has its name on it. This is a huge advantage and the fact that altcoins are currently traded with regard to its worth in Bitcoin as a base currency. That might fade. We'll see.

"Nothing is determined" yes it is, by supply and demand. if nobody wants to buy your turd the price is zero, as determined by the lack of demand.
And if you want to know how an economy without inflationary currency works, then study the Austrian school of economics, again, it's obvious that you know very little to nothing about economics.

Well, people are buying bitcoin, but not your turd, that proves that it is worth more than your turd. Basic economics.
It's not a Ponzi scheme because there is no Ponzi. From wikipedia " Operators of Ponzi schemes can be either individuals or corporations", bitcoin is neither.

So now it's a pyramid scheme all of a sudden, you do know that Ponzi scheme and pyramid scheme are two different things don't you?

^^this racist shit is racist shit and tells a lot about the IQ of the ibian.    Cheesy



edit: boom!

Except it was about IQ and trust, no one mentioned race except you. Or do you consider "immigrants" a race?


dude - if you do not know what "racist" means, why not shut up?

I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't know what it means. Oh I forgot, for you SJWs it means "having a different opinion than mine".

the fucker was clearly stating that inhabitants of other parts of the world have a smaller IQ. which is utter bullshit. and clearly racism.

Quote
Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity.

Quote
The ideology underlying racist practices often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different due to their social behavior and their innate capacities as well as the idea that they can be ranked as inferior or superior.

Quote
Therefore, racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to a United Nations convention on racial discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms "racial" and "ethnic" discrimination. The UN convention further concludes that superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and there is no justification for racial discrimination, anywhere, in theory or in practice.

next time you try to be a smartass, please do get the facts straight first.  Roll Eyes

It's neither racism nor bullshit, It's a well known fact that the IQ of the population of the world varies quite a bit. Even the BBC made a program about it, see for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JLH9OKMnbU

Yes of course, but that is not the issue.

The issue is that the last time I checked, there is not a country in the world that you can go to, just cross the border, and say "I'm going to live here permanently now." It doesn't, and shouldn't ever work like that.

Edit: 3 years ago I finished my PhD, I crossed a border (by plane) and I said "I'm going to live here as long as I want."

It's not quite that easy, you can cross the border in the EU, but you can only stay in another country for three months unless you get a job or study. And it could be argued that the EU is a de facto country.

No. it's not, people from lower IQ areas  that grow up and are educated in the west still have lower IQ. If the whole IQ thing was western biased, then everybody brought up in the west should perform well on the tests regardless if ethnicity, but that is not the case. And that's just a fact, not racism. But if you use that fact do discriminate someone, then I might agree that that might be racism.

If you are from one of the schengen area state, you can do whatever you want for as long as you like within the 26 schengen states without needing any extra ids or paper.
    
26 states:
    Austria
    Belgium
    Czech Republic
    Denmark
    Estonia
    Finland
    France
    Germany
    Greece
    Hungary

    Netherlands
    Norway
    Poland
    Portugal
    Slovakia
    Slovenia
    Spain
    Sweden
    Switzerland




Again, no, you can only stay for three months if you do not have a job or are studying.
There are a lot of misunderstandings about the Schengen agreement.

What is wrong with you? Yes you can stay if you work or study or have a partner there that provides for you, and some additional rules in different countries otherwise you have to leave after three months.

How precisely can pattern recognition be biased towards anyone?

Recognition is subjective, which makes it clearly vulnerable to bias.

The correlation between wealth, power and opportunity and income is much greater than that between intelligence and income.
Much greater.
Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states:
Quote
"Scientists and Engineers can never earn as much as administrators and sales people."

This theorem can now be proved mathematically:
Given:
Power = Work / Time and, Knowledge is Power
Substituting knowledge for power, we obtain: Knowledge = Work/ Time
If time = money, then: Knowledge = Work/ Money
Solving this equation for money, we obtain: Money = Work/ Knowledge
Therefore, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion: the less you know, the more you make.

No, but where a westerner sees green, someone might see some kind of blue.

Where a westerner sees "straight, left, right, straight", someone might see different paths depending on the physical orientation of the page when it gets presented to them. All reference axes are relative to an absolute point on their island (a mountain), so they don't have relative words like "left" or "right" ("up" and "down" they do).

Imagine a westerner dealing with IQ tests prepared by someone in one such population.

There is much more cultural background to perception than we are aware of.

I agree on that.
But none of that applies to the pattern recognition used in IQ tests.

The push by govt organizations for more immigrants literally everywhere in the world is pretty simple.

Existing citizens are working less (and paying less taxes), and thus having less babies. And that long term trajectory doesn't sit well with the welfare states of the world that are getting deeper and deeper into debt.

Simply put, they desperately need more tax payers coming into the system to not only replace the ones dying off, but to breed new ones. Thus opening up the borders.

Remember, the welfare state is one giant Ponzi scam, that requires ever more scam suckers coming in. When that stops, the whole thing collapses.
The problem of course being that the immigrants turned out to be a net drain on the economy[citation needed], not even counting all the social problems and increases in violent crime and rape. But they always double down on bad ideas.

https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/economic-impact-of-immigration-in-the-us
Quote
Over the long haul, they discovered, the presence of immigrants significantly benefits the economy. Areas with more historical immigration now have higher incomes, lower poverty and unemployment, and greater levels of educational attainment and urbanization.

The magnitude of the results was striking: if a county that experienced no immigration during this period had instead experienced median levels of immigration, residents today would have a 20 percent higher per capita income.

In Sweden there was i tipping point in the 80's. Before that, immigration was a net plus, after, a net minus. The reason being that the immigrants after the 80's are mostly uneducated and can't find suitable jobs.

The last 10 floor to floor Bitcoin doublings since Nov 2012.

Average doubling time: 6 months
Shortest doubling time: 1 month ($20 to $40)
Longest doubling time: 18 months ($80 to $160)

The Mt Gox bubble is clearly disruptive to trend. Since recovery, doubling times have only accelerated. This kind of hyperbolic growth is typical of a technological singularity. Think color tv, mobile phones, or the Internet.

At this scale, it's really hard to see the recent hardfork or China FUD having much of an impact at all.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2203360.0



This feels very f'-ing fancy! Smiley .. Also.. I don't know if you know this.. But your chart predicts 10500$+ în 3-4 months. Cheesy Cheesy



Let's project! If we assume an average doubling rate of 6 months, then the price floor should remain above:

$5120: Jan 2018
$10,240: July 2018
$20,480: Jan 2019
$40,960: July 2019
$81,920: Jan 2020

We may touch $10,000 in 3 or 4 months as an ATH, but it may take another couple months to form a new floor. I wouldn't be surprised if doubling rates slowed down to maybe a year+ after $10,000, though. It's mind-boggling and eye-watering to conceive it's think its even possible. But this long-term doubling trend has so far survived all kinds of FUD, hacks, and Bitcoin obituaries and only appears to be gaining resilience as adoption increases.

Well the price has doubled every four months this year, so 10 000 seems like the next logical step.
And I see no reason why the rate of increase should slow down next year, If anything, the forces behind the rise will be even stronger next year. 80 000 by the end of next year is not impossible IMHO. There might very well be an even higher increase as well.

The Swedish central bank was founded in 1668, a bit older than the CCCP I would say.
And its origin was a failed private bank (Stockholms Banco) that the state had to bail out.

"Stockholms Banco collapsed as a result of the issuing of too many notes without the necessary collateral. Palmstruch, who was considered responsible for the bank's losses, was condemned to death, but later received clemency."

They can consider whatever they want, but it isn't.

Spain has 17 "autonomous comunities" which are regions where SOME estatal (there is only ONE state: Spain) competencies have been delegated. Thus they all have their own LOCAL regional representatives... but there is only one President of the Spanish Government and one King (whose function in practice and by law is more "PR" than "ruling").

They do have a president of their region (as do have the other 16) but think about him more as the equivalent of a city major but on a regional level. Regions are not states. So this is more like if tomorrow Las Vegas tried to secede from United States.

Most of spanish people is in favor of the supression of ALL autonomies for the main reason that it represents a HUGE economic burden because of the redundancy of some functions and costs.

And then, there are some regions such as Cataluña that have been as much benefited from this system that they keep "pressing" trying to obtain more and more using the constant "menace" of "independence".

We are completely fed up by that attitude and many consider this is an extortion to the state that should have been put to an stop many years ago.


As I understand it, president Carles Puigdemont Will deklare Catalonia independent 48 hours after a confirmed yes victory. This is how nation states are born.

Illegal or not, you shouldn't beat your own people for: a) Peacefully protesting. b) Voting.


I do completely agree. AFAIK noone was beaten for that (trying to vote or peacefully protesting). Police had strict orders from Judge to seize ballot boxes, the only people that were beaten were actively hindering (not sure if that is the right english word) the police job. In fact, in most the places they were not able to comply orders because it would have mean a major confrontation and put people (and police units themselves) in higher danger. It was an extremely complex operative, probably the most complex this country has ever coped with.

I do also recognize this incident have had a very bad impact in international media. It would have been way better to have intervened way sooner and just arrest the promoters of the rebelion without exposing any law-abiding citizens to any innecesary risk.

What possible motivation could there be for removing someones freedom of expression by using law?
It is acceptable that a government may take a different view to a sub set of it's people, but it is not acceptable that a government denies those people from  expressing themselves in a peaceful way,



It is a common misunderstanding that freedom of expression is an unlimited freedom. It isn't. You can't publish clearly racist manifests, etc...

But this is not a matter of free speech. It is a matter of breaking the law.

Expressing anything (not ilegal) in a peaceful way is ok.

Who has said/or done anything against that?

That's a EU thing, in the US you can. and in Sweden you used to, but not anymore. And I think that's wrong, You are either allowed to speak your mind on any subjekt or you don't have free speech. Partial free speech is not free speech.

Besides, despite your spiking crime rate since you joined the EU, you don't even have the euro to enjoy unemployment like your neighbour Finns do

Yeah. Sweden not joining the euro was a very good decision, and the result of a referendum no less.
Actually, right now there is no unemployment at all for ethnic Swedes. The immigrants however is another matter, 20%+ unemployment, mostly due to none or wrong education and no language skills.

Btw, the crime rate did't spike until lately, with the influx of MENA immigrants. But don't blame me, I didn't vote for the parties that let them in.

Quote from: bitserve on October 11, 2017, 03:34:16 AM

(SNIP) NOONE has the right to be above the law and obstruct law enforcement in a task that has been ordered by the Judges. I don't think that is allowed anywhere in the world.
Correct, but elsewhere in the world the judicial power is actually decoupled from the executive (government). Which in Spain it actually isn't - as per la Constitucion, not by some murky deal. So the court order smells like politics, and it looks a bit awkward from abroad. Luckily, actual beatings, brutality and killings were ultimately avoided - not like in Italy (G7) or France (crazy banlieues).

"Decoupled" judges, however, wouldn't probably have ordered anyone to shut down the referendum. Rather, in a normally functional country (which Spain totally is), they would have tried to stifle the effectiveness of the vote by declaring it "void of effects" or something like that.

Quote from: judges
"Unusual poll ordered by the Catalans at their own expense. This isn't orthodox, but OK, we know the result already."
Then  
Quote from: banks
"ahem, Houston, we have a problem. We, er, need to move, at least only officially."
Then it would have become a matter of negotiation.
Quote from: Guvment
"We (Spaniards) built this hospital. How much is it worth today to you Catalans?"
And then the EU. You can fill their line yourselfif you get my gist.

Quote from: bitserve
That said... I would have put all this shitshow to an end way sooner going directly for the promoters of the rebellion.  It is sad and very unfortunate things let go up to this point.
Uh... but it would smell like Franco, stir more shit. Bad move, too. Because the promoters have ample support - not total, granted, but you can't just "punish one to educate one thousand."

Inflexible negotiation with unfavorable financial accounting, that is the soft way.

All very valid points yes. I would argue that in Spain the judicial power is decoupled from the executive goverment. It is in fact in the constitution:

Quote
The Spanish Constitution guarantees respect for the essential principles necessary for the correct functioning of the judiciary:

    Impartiality: to guarantee the assured effective judicial trusteeship to all citizens by the Constitution, judges must remain impartial in cases that they judge and must abstain from cases that they have no reason to enter into.
    Independence: courts and tribunals are independent of all authority or people in the exercise of jurisdictional power.
    Irremovability: judges and magistrates are irremovable and cannot be removed, suspended, separated or retired without cause and with guarantees established by law.
    Responsibility: judges and magistrates are personally responsible for their disciplinary infractions and crimes committed in the exercise of their office; this responsibility can only be required by the established legal disciplinary tract, without interference by the executive or legislative branches of the government or through ordinary legal proceedings.
    Legality: in the exercise of their jurisdictional functions, judges and magistrates are subject to the Constitution and to the rest of the laws just as other branches of government and citizens are.

(I have cut and pasted from wikipedia in english to avoid the hassle of explaining it myself, but it is essentially correct)

But... I won't really argue it because that's just the theory. I am sure the government do have (informal) influence over a at least some judges. I think that's not unlike anywhere else in the world, but I might be wrong on that.

Or maybe you meant that no matter if they are theoretically decoupled but the constitution forced them to declare this "referendum" illegal anyways.

On either case yep, probably the judges had no real choice there.

It's a very complex and critical situation and I just hope it gets solved some day because it has lasted for too long already. Maybe a proper referendum within the law would be the solution, but even that is not that easy because, among other things, what happens with the catalonian people that does NOT want independence even if a slight or not so slight majority decided to? Suddenly they are forced into it? Maybe allow a referendum in each catalonian city where they decide if they want to secede from catalonia and remain in Spain?

No matter how this finally ends, there will be millions of people hurt in some way. And going on forever with this "impass" is maybe even worse. Or not. I don't know, but I don't see any good outcome of all this situation in any case.

Ultimately it seems that it is economy and business who have forced (temporarily) the suspension of this madness. Losing almost 50% of the GDP of a region is no joke at all.

Anyway, coming back to topic. Is it a coincidence that Bitcoin started to rally when the menace of independence inside EU heat up and just right after they declared the process suspended price got back down?

A rally would have been expected already and after a rally always comes some correction when it hit the strongest resistance but... it seems to be perfectly timed on the event. Maybe we are living this shit as some major historical moment and it is just an completely irrelevant "disturbance" in global scale.

One of the things I really like with the bitcoin forums is the mixed nationalities of the posters. You got the north Americans talking about their stuff and Europeans about theirs, and the Asians trying, but failing because google translate sucks. And we all somehow get involved with each others stuff.
And I suppose the rest of the world is in here too.

For me, born way before the internet it's still mind boggling sometimes that perhaps someone in south America is reading a bitcoin forum in English with a link to a news piece in Swedish television about a crisis in Spain.

I think I am passed the point where I could sell my stash. The thought of not owning btc is horrible.

I think a 60-75% sell off is not too extreme. My real goal would be to be able to buy property etc with bitcoin in my area.

Although you guys can do what you want, I would really encourage you to think differently. First, selling even a half million $$ worth of bitcoin would incur a HUGE tax penalty right off the top. You took all the risk with your own money, so why would you give your tax agency 40% of all of your gains? It's free money you just gave them.

Secondly, yearly inflation is way higher than most govt's published figures. In the U.S. the actually yearly inflation rate is probably between 6-7%, with spikes in certain goods and services upwards of 9-10%/year. And inflation is rising globally and will continue to get worse and worse. And citizens' wages will continue to stay flat or even go down in the coming decades.

Bottom line, $500K fiat in 2020 will be only worth about $250K of purchasing power in 2035. So holding large amounts of fiat is ill advised. You want your purchasing power to stay flat or increase over time, not decrease. Holding bitcoin long term will beat the snot out of future inflation. Personally for me there is no "exit strategy", I will continue to buy and hold as long as Bitcoin is around, and only spend what I need to live day-to-day, month-to-month, etc.

And if you want to own a house or land, it would be smarter to only liquidate enough bitcoin for a sizable down payment, and then get a really good low fixed rate 30yr loan for the rest. Bitcoin's yearly returns would handily beat, actually crush any 3-4% yearly interest on the loan. Plus both the house/land AND your left over bitcoin would both be increasing in value relative to fiat while you were still making loan payments.

Interesting.

Totally makes sense to be honest that.

Personally I would rather not give any money to the banks even if it doesn't make economical sense. I when I reach my sell of point, the first thing I will do is pay of all debts.

"Warm greetings to the Bitcoin Gold community.

In order to ensure the safety of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Gold has implemented full replay protection, an essential feature that protects users’ coins from being spent unintentionally.

Bitcoin Gold has implemented a solution called SIGHASH_FORK_ID replay protection. It is an effective two-way replay protection mechanism that enforces a new algorithm to calculate the hash of a transaction so that all new Bitcoin transactions will be invalid on Bitcoin Gold blockchain and vice versa. This makes replaying transactions impossible.

The only question is: will it peak at $25k, $35k or above $50k  Roll Eyes

You mean after the resolution of the next forking shenanigans, right?

Right now we are getting preforking pumps, and then we will likely get post forking pumps...

gosh?  I am thinking more on the lower end of your three scenarios.. but maybe I am just not bullish enough.. ?


I need to up my game.

I used to be one of the most bullish and I can't get my head around anything over 2k. My brain doesn't compute.

25k wtf?? I'm not sure if I am drinking too much coffee or whether I'll eventually find out that near miss I had 2 years ago knocking myself out wakeboarding wasn't a near miss at all and I've been in a coma. I'm sure I'll wake from it soon and see bitcoin at $300 again where I left it.

Or is this real??

Or am I dead?

I don't know anymore.


You are looking at a commodity style market about to hit bottom in terms of available coins vs demand. That is what caused the big 2013 spike and what is about to cause the big 2017/2018 spike.

Like the Hunt brothers cornering the silver market.

Besides, think BIG or go home  Cool

The 2013 spikes were caused by a Mt Gox bot, it had nothing to do with supply and demand.

So I was thinking this morning. And I realized one way to boost the price of bitcoin is to increase overall demand in the general populace. Then it hit me:

How about offering a service where when a loved one dies you can buy a bitcoin for the ferryman across the river Styx? The bitcoin is purchased, then on the day of the funeral the key for the bitcoin is burned, thus sending it to the afterlife.

Hey, it's like being buried with your grave goods and it increases the value of remaining bitcoins.

What if Kharon doesn't accept bitcoin?

Actually most of people on this planet are broke and just worry about daily sustenance.  So even if they knew something about bitcoin, they probably would buy very little, if at all, and had get out as soon as they need the money for something else.  

So even if Mircea Popescu type of elitism is repugnant, he is right in that Bitcoin does NOT give a fook whether it sees widespread use as payment or the masses adopt it.  It's going to go up if enough elites see it as a hedge against central bank experimentalism or as a new method of exerting controls.  As I stated before, I got in in late 2012 mostly as a hyperdeflationary experiment, i.e. I want to see whether we can trigger the first recorded case of hyperdeflation in human history.  

Since bitcoin is highly deflationary by design, it is irrational to spend it when you have fiat alternatives readily available, e.g. Visa/Master/Paypal/Alipay/Debit-card/Fiat-Cash.  If any kind of S curve adoption occurs, then BTC would be hoarded to oblivion.  Gresham's law would tell you that people always want to spend the "bad money", e.g. fiat, before spending "good money" like gold or BTC.  So eventually just as in hyperinflation, people try to spend the toilet paper confetti before it becomes worthless, people would hoard BTC before it becomes even more valuable.  The end game would be the same, they lose their function as a medium of exchange, because one has zero function as storage of value, and the other because it is just too valuable to be spent.  

If one just look at BTC in fiat term, going from sub $1 to $7000+ in 7+ years is pretty hyperdeflationary.  It's even worse if one looks at it in "purchasing power parity" terms, i.e. Laszlo's pizza, 2 pizza for USD$70 million, an increase of at least 7,000,000 times.  Naturally the implication would be that if BTC undergoes hyperdeflation, any charting/wave-theory/fibonacci/TA would be meaningless.  That's like applying TA to Weimar stock market or the IBVC (Venezuela stock index), which is up like 20x in 2017 alone and 50x in 1 year.

Sometimes it helps to look at a log scale chart. Here is Bitstamp daily bitcoin log scale with a reasonable pitchfork drawn:



The pitchfork suggests we may reach roughly $8000 before a sharp correction down to about $5000 before new all time highs greater than $10,000 by year end. The sell off might occur during the fork drama and rather than the end of the world present just another buying opportunity.



Any chance we can see that chart extended to 2018?

Me too. But first see where it goes now, eventually convert a large part in fiat just before or after Nov. 15 fork?  And meanwhile, what happened to the "Gold" boys and their fork? Straight evaporated?
The BTG guys have just implemented replay protection, and Coinomi have announced that they will support BTG and conversion of BTG to BTC on their platform. As far as I know it's going ahead more or less as planned.

I like your VHS vs. Betamax example, but in our case I believe BTC (the original coin) is better than BCH for many reasons, so the analogy would be that Betamax had ended up being the dominant one, due to its quality as well as its widespread usage.

But since it didn't, I cant use that as an analogy. I can only use the user support as an analogy.

One of the key securities of Bitcoin is that it will not be successfully forked. If such an event were to occur it would mean it cannot be trusted and therefore die and become mutable. On principle alone we must go forward only with consensus to changes from the majority of users not hash power manipulation and FUD.
This will come down to what we believe in.
Lets talk about Lightning Network. Is it a patented solution that has the ability to shut down miners?


I don't know, but if it does make mining unprofitable it might actually crash bitcoin, we need the miners.

You're right, of course, I just wanted to point out the difference. In fact, being the better coin, there's even more incentive for BTC to win over BCH.

Agreed.

My take on these different fork coins is as follows: Although 2 MB blocks is not bad, BCH is dysfunctional and since it does not work properly, it's useless.

BTG really has no future, the idea of going back to using GPU:s for mining is a nice idea and full of bitcoin nostalgia. But there is already a bunch of coins that you can mine using your GPU, and BTG has no upside in relation to  those coins.

SW2X on the other hand has both big blocks and Seg Wit, and that is in my opinion better than BTC:s SW1X. However, their attempt to kidnap the bitcoin name with a hardfork with no replay protection and their poor dev team makes the majority of users dislike them. That and the fact that people because of the high BTC price likes status quo will probably make them fail.

This is the answer.

"Hi Ulf,

you are very welcome. During a fork, a separate chain is created but the original chain (Bitcoin) will not disappear. We will support Bitcoin and Bitcoin 2X after the fork.

We will also have replay protection for Bitcoin 2X built into our wallet. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind Regards,
Coinomi Support"

If this is true, and why should they lie, than having your coins in the Coinomi wallet seems like a good  choice. I will definitely consider it.

Isn't this all going to sh* when the fork is over ? The only reason people are buying is to be on the right side of the fork. 2X hasn't a hope in hell by the way. Not one investor is remotely interested in blocksize, capacity or any other monetary vehicular niceties any more.

The only thing they're worried about is that the name of their investment doesn't have anything other than a full stop after the word "Bitcoin".

Also price. Which, yeah.

I think bitcoin is becoming a store of value only, no one uses it for payment anymore. The only time we sell is when we cash out.
Those of us that have bitcoin in the future are the new nobility, the rest will use other cryptocurrencies.

I am an investor. I am interested in block size. Ergo, claim is demonstrated as false.

Ok. I'll rephrase that in a manner that even you can identify with.

"Not one investor is remotely interested in blocksize, capacity or any other monetary vehicular niceties if it means the loss of 90% of the value of their holdings". (As it does when a suffix is added to the word "Bitcoin").

In other words, the market is arbitrating between stores of value and technologically versatile investments. Bitcoin is the latter so in that respect the one with the least tampering will be considered to have the maximum store of value. It doesn't need to support a gazillion transactions per second, it only needs to be more valuable than it was last year and support 7 transactions per second.

For performance and functionality, the market looks to either Visa or alts.

So, I have talked a little bit more with Coinomi about the upcoming fork to clear things up.
Here's what I have so far.

They will support both chains after the fork.
Bitcoin will still be called bitcoin and still be on the legacy chain.
They will  implement replay protection for SW2X on their wallets.
You will be able to claim your SW2x coins.

Sounds good to me, I will keep my coins there during the fork.

Just be extra careful if you have a lot of coins. Mine are in a TREZOR and I dare not touch them. I had to change my old recovery seed to a fresh one because of the BCH hard fork, during which my coins always stayed in the TREZOR and the seeds kept offline.

I use Coinomi and it's a nice wallet, but I'm not sure I want to transfer all my stash there. I think I'll wait for a solution by the TREZOR team.

I don't have a Trezor or similar device yet, so for me it was either a core node, but I have just bought a new computer, and I can't be bothered to download the whole chain right no. Or Electrum, or Coinomi. And since I got assurances from Coinomi that my coins would stay on the legacy chain, and they would enable replay protection, I opted for Coinomi.
Had I had a Trezor I might have kept my coins there, seems pretty safe..

As soon as it is safe I will move my stash to Electrum, then claim my BTG and SW2X coins, move them to Blockchain, get a new seed for my Coinomi wallet, move the free coins back there and use them as spending money, and the original stash will stay on Electrum as a savings account.

Oh, sorry, I thought you came from somewhere else, my mistake.

I don't want to wear the full uniform unless I'm actually authorized to do so. It also looks sloppy if you only wear half or part of a uniform, I see that all the time in other countries.

I don't want to be caught impersonating an officer unless that's actually part of my job (if I become some sort of spy or secret agent or something.)

Uniforms are nice, especially the blue Navy/Marines. But I might be biased since I got one of those myself. Retired but still allowed to use it at some occasions.

This is how you get your Electrum coins.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2062488

1. Extract your private keys for your pre-fork BTC coins by following the appropriate steps in the list of providers below.

- Electrum
1) Open the menu "View" and click on "Show Addresses"
2) Then open the new tab "Addresses"
3) Right-click on the addresses that had Bitcoin before the fork, then click "Private key".
4) Click on the qrcode icon to show it.

Now that you got your private key(s) for the address(es) that contained BTC prior to the fork of August 1st:

2. Create a BCH wallet in coinomi.

3. Click on .../Sweep Wallet and paste or scan the BTC private key that you obtained in step 1.

Your forked coins should now appear in your Coinomi BCH wallet

The highlighted aspect says to me - fear of being poor. That's why they won't disrupt how Bitcoin is operating and that informs all behaviour in this space.

or..., that is why they will provide the network with better features that make it more competitive in relation to its environment.
Every biologically immutable being is doomed to disappear with respect to those who do. Homo sapiens vs Homo erectus.

we get free coins after forks. they are aidrop for holding bitcoin. we can get 10% of value from the bitcoin price.

When it forks the value of the other will go down while the new one takes a bit away from it and then when you put it back into BTC then BTC will be back where it was before and the other coin goes down.  That's just my impression
But i don't see a difference because when the fork happens, say bitcoin drops 10% because people go into the other fork then you buy back that extra from the fork but it's like a seesaw because we all go into that one bringing the other price down and then we buy the other back and then it goes up so you don't win anything really.

Economy is not a zero sum game.

The x2 chain, in a darwinist/capitalist context, is more likely to survive than the x1 chain.

The highlighted aspect says to me - fear of being poor. That's why they won't disrupt how Bitcoin is operating and that informs all behaviour in this space.

or..., that is why they will provide the network with better features that make it more competitive in relation to its environment.
Every biologically immutable being is doomed to disappear with respect to those who do. Homo sapiens vs Homo erectus.

If that's  the case, why did VHS survive and Betamax die?

Quote
Standard Betamax tapes lasted 60 minutes — not long enough to record a movie. Conversely, the 3-hour VHS tapes were perfect for recording television programmes and movies

I remember watching, and renting, movies on Betamax

So now Bitcoin is stuck with 1mb forever.

The Lies and Censorship crew have won.

Meanwhile, Lightning Network is at-least "18 months" away from being deployed.

Are you guys ready for $100+ fees?

This is the "settlement layer" you wanted. Forget Satoshi's Bitcoin, now BTC is a store of value only coin. Who cares about commerce or competing with banks or actually trying to change the world, right?

Because non of the other 1000 or so coins can do that. Only Bitcoin can save the world.

It sounds like you must Enjoy having Blockstream's  dick shoved down your throat while your paying $100+ to move your coins off an exchange.

Tell your grandma to buy Bitcoin, it's a great investment. I'm sure she will love the part where she has to calculate a priority fee to pay based on the size of her transaction.

For everything else, there's Bitcoin Cash.

What sort of idiot is in bitcoin to spend them in b/s?
It's just you.

Yeah, because the thousands of people who have disconnected themselves from the banks and from FIAT don't exist.

Legacy Bitcoin has been taken over by corporate interests that want to prevent BTC from scaling, thus removing competition and ensuring their monopolies will continue uncontested. No one is going to want to pay $20, 30, 40, 50$+ fees to make a payment or just to move coins. Thus, Legacy Bitcoin has truly become a Banking Settlement Layer - with fees comparable to a bank wire, and confirmation times comparable to a bank wire. This is Bitcoin now. Enjoy it. It's what you wanted.

So use another coin then, why are you stuck on bitcoin. The Zimbabweans use both bitcoin and dash. One for savings and one for shopping. Works fine, and no banks involved.

Inevitable. It's always K types who explore risky ventures like this, and once it's proven to be more or less safe the rabbits join in.

Yes I know, but it makes me feel sad, there are no places for us anymore. Well fewer at least, and I miss the good old days when we were all libertarians and the discussions revolved around different flavours of libertarianism, rather than us against them.

1. Extract your private keys for your pre-fork BTG coins by following the appropriate steps in the list of providers below.

- Electrum
1) Open the menu "View" and click on "Show Addresses"
2) Then open the new tab "Addresses"
3) Right-click on the addresses that had Bitcoin before the fork, then click "Private key".
4) Click on the qrcode icon to show it.

Now that you got your private key(s) for the address(es) that contained BTC prior to the fork of August 1st:

2. Create a BCG wallet in coinomi.

3. Click on .../Sweep Wallet and paste or scan the BTC private key that you obtained in step 1.

He had a legitimate concern that was addressed by subsequent posters. The part that was missing, and that should be bolded, is that you create a new wallet and move your coins over before sharing your private key(s). This way you do not risk any BTC.

You are absolutely right. But that was not the question.

If he was worried about other peoples safety, he could have worded that in a much more pleasant manner.

Remember readers, if you hold Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash in equal proportions, you can sit back and watch the whales battle it out.  If you don't have inside information, you're at a significant disadvantage when trading.
I take that as a public confession of insider trading.
I hope you are aware of the fact that insider trading is illegal in practically any jurisdiction in the world?
If you are even somewhat representative of the Bitcoin Cash crowd, I shall from here on after call the Bitcoin Cashers crooks.

Actually, insider trading is legal, but you have to report it beforehand.

I'm pretty sure Ron and Rand Paul own bitcoins. There's probably a bunch of others in the U.S. that do too.

Funny, I have heard the same thing from another guy who also test drove one.
But if I ever buy one I will have it converted to an automatic and only drive it on nice summer days. But I would go out to the garage and look at it a lot.

That's almost right.  

But it's not the miners meeting the demands of nodes -- non-mining nodes are just dumb boxes that have no influence on their own. It is the miners meeting the desires of the market.  Why?  Because the miners want to mine a coin that is valued by the market in order to earn a profit.

No, that's totally right.

You split yours already? At this price I'd just as soon ignore it until it pumps or goes away.


I don't know about you, but if it is true, I find it quite encouraging: https://cryptocurrencyinvesting.news/adam-back-bitcoin-block-size-increase-in-mid-term-is-possible/

Someone wrote an entire article based on a single tweet. Ok.

Yeah, I was going to split and sell as soon as possible, but I guess the mempool is still full or something, cause the fee was way too high.

I might wait and see, some people around here are talking about mining those coins for nostalgic reasons. And I, who have never mined, might just do it too, just to try it out. So maybe it survives, who knows.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Consolidating sideways around $6.6k I see... currently $6585USD/$8407CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Total forkcoins (excluding BCH-ABC) are at $1538USD/$1960CAD (Coinmarketcap).

After yesterday's fine recovery, consolidation is good. Hopefully we'll continue upward soon.

It's clear what the "real" Bitcoin is. A big-blocker reaction after x2 cancellation was to be expected. Luckily it didn't last long.

Go Bitcoin go.

what's all this carolina meme business? i missed that one.

CCMF = Choo Choo Mother Fucker and Carolina Country Music Festival.
Someone googled CCMF and got Carolina Country Music Festival, somehow that stuck and Carolina is now a thing.
Not my cup of tea though.

With your edit, you got me even more confused, couldn´t you leave it alone ?



I didn't know you were confused before.
I just had too much time on my hands, I almost deleted it.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Consolidating sideways around $6.6k I see... currently $6585USD/$8407CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Total forkcoins (excluding BCH-ABC) are at $1538USD/$1960CAD (Coinmarketcap).

After yesterday's fine recovery, consolidation is good. Hopefully we'll continue upward soon.

It's clear what the "real" Bitcoin is. A big-blocker reaction after x2 cancellation was to be expected. Luckily it didn't last long.

Go Bitcoin go.



What the heck is BCH-ABC?



Jeez you been living under a rock?
It's BCC, of course.  Roll Eyes

Silly me.

And BCC is?

https://www.bitcoinabc.org/

Sorry. I didn't want to use the word "Bitcoin" to describe anything to do with this altcoin.

What I meant was that when I was totaling forkcoins I only included the BCH listed at Coinmarketcap.

I don't get it, did BCH change name to ABC after the fork? Or are there two chains, BCH and ABC

I think people are selling their BTG. I was about to, but almost 50 USD fee was too much.
I'll see if I can get a better fee later.

What exchange trades BTG?

Changelly, it's attached to the Coinomi wallet.

Looks like Segwit2x futures on Yobit are going CCMF

Yeah, S2X/BTC on Yobit reach parity @1.000 with around 200 BTC volume.  Sounds totally legit.

They are pumping that Bitcore BTX thing over at that some what sketchy Bit-Z exchange, now at 4 mbtc.  Suppose to list at HitBTC soon too.  I am not bothering with it for now.  But one of old Legendary mention it on the thread before and BTX crew did a new snapshot on Nov. 2 too.  So people got some free BTX coins.

Also one of the supposedly biggest BTC hodler in China, Li Xiao Lai, is launching his own fork SBTC http://www.supersmartbitcoin.com/index.html .  "Make Bitcoin Great Again."   Roll Eyes
He got a handle on Bitcointalk from 2011~2 and posted regularly.  But I couldn't be bothered to look it up now.  He stated that he had 100K + BTC back in 2013, like that FriedCat erupter dude.  No clue how much BTC he has now.

Honestly all these forks are giving me headaches now.  I am thinking of not bothering with them until they go above 0.05 BTC each or if they go bonker like that weekend BCH pumps.  



I had no idea about that BTX thing, I found it in my list of coins in my Coinomi wallet, I'll try yo claim them tonight, thanks.

Oh didn't know Bitcore had another airdrop. I didn't even claim all my corresponding coins in the first airdrop because I considered it not worth the hassle after claiming a few. Maybe this time is more worthy?

It's hard to keep track of all the airdrops we can get for being BTC holders. Thanks for the heads up!

Can you use them for anything? Any exchanges accept them?

Can you use them for anything? Any exchanges accept them?

Now that you have asked I have gone to see what is the current BTX price... Wow! It is more than 5x what it was when I claimed some of mine. I remember I created an account on novaexchange to use the deposit address for claiming. Right now looking for the password to see if they are still there and to claim the remaining ones (if possible) or the new airdrop Smiley

Use them for anything? My plan, as with any other airdrops is to use them to exchange for more BTC. I will see how much I do have and decide if I convert now or if I let it run longer before converting (is not like it is a "fortune" anyways).

Exchanges that accept them:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcore/#markets

P.S.: It seems that it wasn't novaexchange what I used, or at least I have no BTX there. Maybe it was cryptopia.... mmmhh

Thanks

More info on this Bitcore (BTX) coin...

It looks like they just paid out 8.3 million of these to existing bitcoin holders on the 6th of November. You automatically have .5 BTX for each bitcoin you owned based on a 2 Nov snapshot. You have to import your bitcoin private keys to get your bitcore coins. You already own them even if you don't claim them right now so hold on to the private keys you were using as of 2 Nov.

Holding bitcore and registering the bitcore address on their site gives you an Airdrop each week based on the balance you hold.

If you're moving your bitcoin to claim your bitcoin gold, might as well claim the bitcore coin at the same time even if you don't plan on selling it right now.

Whoot ?
I´ll sit tight, just to be sure. That ok ?
They throw coins at me, like it´s early christmas.

Am already suffering from Fork Fatigue....  Paper wallets, too.  Lots of them.  It's a pain.

Does your paper wallets have a QR code for the private key? If so, it's really easy if you use coinomi.
Just download it to your phone, add bitcoin, choose "sweep wallet" and read the QR code, and it's in your wallet, repeat with all the other paper wallets you have. Then add the shitcoin of your choosing and do it all over again.

Of course not.
Trade doesn't mean we go back to the British rule / pillaging / apartheid days.

Surely it would be at least fruitful for the people of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabweans over here if the British prime minister made a statement about the situation in Zimbabwe and to at least state that Britain is open to have a conversation with whomever is in charge next to see if we can help.
The British government has already stated many times that foreign aid will not be cut. I don't see why a Zimbabwe without a dictator could not benefit from that.
There is life in the world outside of the EU and we should be keen to help considering the historical (mostly I agree negative) and language ties.

BUT BUT by help do you mean send in the economic hitmen with globalization? IMF Trojan loans etc? Or by help do you mean covertly funding a coup and/or economic sanctions against the population aka IRAQ/IRAN/N.KOREA/VENEZUELA/CUBA etc

Ok lets recap...

You said it is better for Zimbabwe to move away from China/East and have closer ties to USA/Europe/West
I said that history teaches us me (obviously not you) that African countries in general do not benefit from closer ties to the West.
I mentioned the usual scenario of IMF/Economic Hitmen or Dictator sponsorship/coup deta is NOT a benefit/any help to African/3rd world countries
You replied... "Communist Much"
I then replied in a similar childish manner "American Much" since you brought up the old US Cold War mindset of anyone disagreeing with US economic policy must mean Communism
You replied "No, European Much"
This made no sense to me. I wasnt sure if you were insinuating that I am European or that you are. Either way I replied that Europe and the US is the same garbage.
Now your bringing IQ into the equation.

My Conclusion?

This conversation is going nowhere and you are a tool. Maybe read a little history before making stoopid comments about politics.

Happy bitcoining

No I didn't, that was bitcionbunny.
And your comments have nothing with history to do, they are just political crap. Said by someone who has actually studied history.

First move all your coins to a new address so the old private key is no longer needed for BTC. This is a safety measure.

Then use the old private key to 'sweep' the coins into a Wallet. Coinomi on android is good for this task - can confirm for both Bitcoin gold and Bitcore.

So..We are on the same page then? What you wrote above doesn't contradict what I wrote. Sweeping to Coinomi also exposes your private key, and only sweeping empty wallets/addresses goes without saying.

Besides, if you have Coinomi you can sweep Bitcore just like you can BTC and BTG. Thats what I did. You get 50% of what's in there.

Wow, so much is happening...

So it seems Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is doing well. I guess it's that time of the year again, when I have to fire up my TREZOR and split my coins to get my BTG airdrop.

And now I read about another airdrop, Bitcore (BTX)! How come I missed that?

My plan is this:

1. Create a new recovery seed in TREZOR and move my BTC there.
2. Do the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) splitting on the old (empty of BTC) recovery seed.
3. What do I do to claim my Bitcore (BTX)?

If anyone knows the procedure for BTX, please let us know, I'm sure many of us have the same question.

Thanks!

Go back about 1-2 pp.

Thanks. I did read the pages earlier, but felt the info was a bit confusing on what to do. I read them again now, and I think all info needed is contained in the following steemit page:

https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@xwerk/bitcore-btx-guide-the-2nd-snapshot-for-btc-hodlers-free-btx-or-how-it-works

Will empty my current wallet (seed) of all coins first, and then do the BTG and BTX splitting. Will let everyone know what happened, so that anyone wanting to do the same can have some reassurance on the correct procedure to follow.

You might wanna wait until the 17/12, Smartbitcoin forks on that date and you might be able to get three coins instead of two. http://www.supersmartbitcoin.com/index.html

Wouldn't be surprised if there were ~300k bottles around though, given the rarity of some bottles and the ridiculous lumps of cash that some people have.

At least in ~10-20 years every Bitcoin will get me one of those.

What the hell is a tether even?

Tether, a virtual currency that is supposed to be tied — or tethered — to the value of a dollar.

Customers can buy Tether coins on Bitfinex and then transfer them to other virtual currency exchanges, providing a way to move dollars between countries without going through banks. Tether has also become a very popular way to buy Bitcoin. In recent weeks, a few hundred millions dollars’ worth of Tether has changed hands on a daily basis across several exchanges, according to data on CoinMarketCap.com.

Tether and Bitfinex have insisted that the two operations are separate. But leaked documents known as the Paradise Papers, which were made public this month, show that Appleby, an offshore law firm, helped Mr. Potter and Mr. Devasini, the Bitfinex operators, set up Tether in the British Virgin Islands in late 2014.

One persistent online critic, going by the screen name Bitfinex’ed, has written several very detailed essays on Medium arguing that Bitfinex appears to be creating Tether coins out of thin air and then using them to buy Bitcoin and push the price up.

Guys, have all of you sold your Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?

I'm itching to sell them now, and do the following:

1. Buy Monero,
2. Buy more BTC.

What would you recommend? Should I sell my BTG now, or wait for a pump? And if I should sell now, which one of the two options would you recommend? I know this is altcoin territory, but it feels natural to ask here as I value your wisdom and opinion, and I'm sure many of you HoDL some altcoins in addition to BTC.

So, Bitcoiners, wait or sell your Gold, and what to buy?

When I read your post I decided to take a look at one of my old addresses that I got BTG from.
I had 2,90343491 on one address, I immediately sold them for BTC and got 0,05638211 BTC
Now, 2,90343491 BTG is today worth 833,63 USD and 0,05638211 BTC is worth 458,1 USD.
So I would have been better of hodling my BTG, however, in the long run BTC is going to outperform BTG big time, so I don't really care.
And you also have to consider that the less BTC you have, the less forkcoins and airdrops you will get.

Sorry if I made you do something that didn't turn out as profitable as it could have. Was obviously not my intention. But I believe any investment in BTC will pay out big in the coming months and years, so everything's fine I think.


Guys, have all of you sold your Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?
I don't believe it's had its super pump yet. I reckon you'd make more BTC or XMR waiting for that than buying XMR now but what does anyone know?

Well, it appears that your prediction has come true. I held on to my BTG, not because I want them, but because I had to do some other things at home y'day, and could not be close to the PC to do the trade. Now I wake up and see the price of BTG surging...

No worries, I was gonna check that anyway. Besides I always sell all my forkcoins and airdrops as fast as I can. I'm not a trader, just a hodler.

This has not been a good night for me, I registered on an exchange to sell my bitcore, since that is not supported in my Coinomi wallet.
But I couldn't figure out how it worked, and ended up sending the coins back to my wallet.
Then I tried to recover an old DAT file from bitcoin core (or QT, don't remember) but I couldn't figure that out either.
Then I tried to get my private key for my old legacy address on Blockchain.info, but no luck, the old 17 word seed apparently is not the kind you can use to get your private key.

Now my head is spinning and I'm going to bed, have to work tonight so I need my beauty sleep.

I haven’t claimed my BTG yet but from what I’ve read Coinimi looks the best bet to do it safely. Input your old private keys that had bitcoin associated with them at the fork & then your Coinimi account will be credited with BTG.

Personally I’d then move them to bittrex & exchange for bitcoin (exactly what I did with my BCH - but moved from Electron Cash to bittrex instead).

I've used Coinomi to claim some of my BTG and it worked flawlessly. Didn't use a seed, as I had already transferred some BTC to it before the fork, in order to ease the claim process. Important: you need to change the BTG address derivation path in order to get to your claimed coins. The normal Coinomi BTG wallet has a different path and your coins won't show straight away. Don't panic, just Google it, I think there's an official guide for this.

I checked on Coinomi.  they only have an android wallet.   Nothing for windows PC yet.  unless i am missing something.

I am not placing any serious funds on a phone !!!!!  Phones are for play money and coffee/groceries.

Coinomi is non custodial, you keep your private keys. And they have two different exchanges  in the app, so no need to move them to an exchange. Just sweep, exchange, and then if you so wish, move them elsewhere. It takes a couple of minutes to do, nothing to get worried about.

ask anyone in the German subforum, mate.  some guys have donated $30k. it all started with a bet I won. before I knew I would win I made a statement that I would donate the 0.5 btc if I would win to poor children. and put my 0.5 btc on top of it. then people started to donate. then it went crazy the last few days.

i am also the guy who came up with the btc1k party. (which we had to call off, but all participants got their bitcoin back.)

Ok, I actually did read the German sub forum, and I believe you, but I couldn't figure out at first why it was about a bet and not a charity.

The fuck, I just got pwned. Yeah, Swedes and Swiss, there may be a minor geographical separation Tongue

Interestingly enough, the Swiss foundation myth says that a Swedish king sometimes during the iron age ordered 1/10th of the population to leave the country due to a famine.  they were ordered to go and settle somewhere else, and they wandered through Europe until the came to a valley in what today is Switzerland. They named it Schwys after their old homeland. That is now the kanton of Schwyz, and also gave name to the country of Schwitzerland.

How much, if any, truth there is to the myth nobody knows, the name of the king is not found in any Nordic myths. But it would be interesting to do a DNA comparison.

It's crappy because some of us (like me) got into the game a little late and made my purchases at 7950 and 9500. Now here I am riding the waves. lol... Why can't you steady out at 11 and ride around there? why you gotta go up and down right where I bought at LOL

Don't you worry, it'l go up again real soon.

You saying that because you don't have enough bitcoins or because you don't want to draw attention to yourself?


By the way, we all gonna be fucked if prices reach $111k, so better have enough coins.

I mean, we gonna be so fucked in the head from RICHes that we gonna have some difficulties figuring out spending, diversification, security.. and some fucking ass new standards that are out of our regular comfort zone... so gotta kind of tentatively start planning, so we not be so shocked...

Have any of you guys actually lived of grid?
It's not as fun as it sounds. When I was a kid we would often spend time in my grandparents summerhouse, with no electricity. You had to get up in the middle of the night to keep the fire going, you had to pump the water by hand, you had to heat the water on the fire, no shower, just a quick hand wash.

They later installed electricity and it was bliss, electric water pump and heating, and all that (but still no shower, they were the old generation who took a bath twice a week or so, the rest was hand wash).

I would love to live of grid, but you simply cant make enough electricity for electric heating, you would have to have a wood burner or oil burner for that. And that's not my cup of tea, except as a backup. Hopefully though, they will soon come up with some kind of high capacity battery that makes wind/solar possible as the only energy source.

Yes I have and the technology has come a long way.

A modern catalytic stove will easily keep the fire all night, nearly 24 hours as a matter of fact.  Personally I much prefer wood heat.  I currently live in town and I miss having fire in my life.

Flat plate collectors on the roof coupled with a heat exchanger on the stove for hot water, or on demand propane if you are lazy.

DC pump and some solar to run it.  It really isn't that hard.

I have like 5-6 hours of daylight right now, and overcast with rain, those collectors would collect absolutely nothing, and a wood stove, even a modern one, still need you to store huge amounts of firewood, that you would first have to chop. That's not living in comfort, that's more work than I do now on my regular job.

I actually live in a small cottage in the countryside with a wood stove as my backup for power outages and just enjoying a nice wood fire. (The heat from a nice wood fire beats everything else).

Solar just doesn't work in the north in the winter yet.
Having said that, when I reach my first cash out point, I will install solar panels and a small wind turbine to make myself self sufficient at least in the summer. I do have collectors to my water heater, but as I mentioned, they don't work in the winter.

But what if what we are seeing is in truth fiat-inflation?
There has so much money been printed and it is out there and yet the inflation is just at 15% since 2008 while the amount of money has increased by about 500%.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BASE?cid=124

Which means everything in dollar should theoretically cost about 5 times as much as it does today. Imagine 15$ for a coffee

That's not really how it works, if the supply of money is met with a growing economy that absorbs the new money you don't get inflation.

So who is considered an early adopter these days? Is it still people who bought in 2010, or is it now people who bought in 2012 or 2013? And dont give me that bull answer of we're all still early adopters.

 Textbook answer:

Early Adopters (13.5%) – This is the second fastest category of individuals who adopt an innovation. These individuals have the highest degree of opinion leadership among the other adopter categories. Early adopters are typically younger in age, have a higher social status, have more financial lucidity, advanced education, and are more socially forward than late adopters. More discrete in adoption choices than innovators. Realize judicious choice of adoption will help them maintain central communication position

~Rogers 1962 5th ed, p. 283

 literally Smiley

 


So it's not until full adoption that we can say who the early adopters were.

As I said let’s hope not. It would tie in with a rush to alts though .

Since this market is nothing but one giant scam with centralized mining, a centralized technocracy controlling coin parameters and development, and centralized collusion controlling where the price goes among a handful of corporate entites like Pantera Capital, the fact that all alts turned green means BTC dump imminent because they now want to try and sell you overpriced altcoins instead of overpriced btc.

let's see what happens when both futures markets are running for a while, but i think you could be on to something.

bitcoin and alt traders are used to commanding the market. if that's taken away from bitcoin then they have a whole world of other coins that they do have more control of. it's possible futures might make a two speed crypto market. as certain alts gets bigger they too might have futures at which point they're left to the bigger boys too.

it'll drive more regulation and much more discerning exchanges. they won't list shitcoins.

but whatever happens it's gonna take a while to figure out the effects.

it doesn't on its own of course, but it inspires people with futures positions to take some direct involvement in the bitcoin market and they have a lot more money to play with than the last generation of whales.

If it is true that only 0,01% of the population today uses bitcoin, and the price is almost 20000 USD, imagine the price when 50% of the population uses bitcoin. We are talking several hundred million dollars, maybe even in the range of a billion. One million will be reached within two years at this rate.

It's maff. And yes it sounds ludicrous. But if bitcoin becomes widespread enough, which it will if the global fiat economy collapses, which it will, then it really could happen.

Let's just not forget our principles if we end up as billionaires one day.

Yes one day we will be there for sure - but i really doubt that day is in 2 years.
We have to fix a lot of problems before that especially regarding scaling and mining centralisation.

Yeah, the human brain is not very good at understanding big numbers. $100-$10,000 seems doable but $10,000 to $1,000,000 seems impossible. That's why they created the stock split to keep people buying with astronomical stock prices.

I dont think you understand how much fiat money has to be put into btc for a 1 million valuation.

I said "One million will be reached within two years at this rate."
So two years and no slowing down. If there isn't enough money for that then it won't be at "this rate".

Ok, i understand - but just to bring it into perspective i do not believe that 50% of the worlds population will use BTC in 2 years either.

And imho BTC would not need it per se to have a valuation of 1 million per coin.
It could be used as a store of wealth or as a settlement layer of the super rich, multinational companies and nation states.

If Bitcoin ETFs get approved next year, $80k could be achieved in a week or two. Seriously.

Following BETI it should be 30-40 k next year (this is what believe too btw) Cheesy

I think people overestimate how much fiat it will take to go up another 60x. Here is a thought experiment:

What if the decimal place was moved in bitcoin to give a 1:1000 split? If collectively everyone used the term bitcoin for the unit of value we currently call a millibit or mBTC making the total eventual supply 21 billion instead of 21 million, the price currently would be ~$16.70.

How hard would it be to pump it over $20? Would it be that hard to get to $100 again for an equivalent $100,000 value or $1000 for an equivalent $1,000,000 value?

2 years might be a little soon but who knows?

Nice way of making it understandable, great.

I tried bitpie and it didn't have it listed. Pretty sure Electrum doesn't. I don't know about the 3 Chinese wallets, I was hoping someone else might have found one.

Is it on line with a stable chain yet? Wallets won't support until then. Wait a couple of weeks and try again.

"Be ready to lose all your money"

Oh no...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

They are still in the "then they fight you" phase.
So we haven't won allready.

Bullish!

Seems like nothing more than sensible advice to me. The guy's telling people they're on their own and he don't get it. And Bitcoin developers themselves warn people they could lose all their money too.

I know. This is all a gamble. Could go well if bitcoin scales to the demand, could go wrong.
I'm just chiming in on the hype.
Personally I think we're at the beginning of the mania phase. By now either my mom nor my grandma nor my brothers want to buy bitcoin. So there's room to grow. If my grandma asks me if she should invest, thats a clear no from me.
If we have a slower but constant rise over the next months, this assesment could change.

I don't think it is much a question of investing vs no investing. It could well be a yes to investing for everyone... depending on HOW MUCH.

I don't see any problem in everyone "investing" any quantity they would otherwise just SPEND/WASTE in a casino or other useless lucky game.

Same as I don't see any problem in any multimillionaire investing a few percentage of its net worth into it, even if he doesn't know what he's doing.

Normies investing their whole savings? That's a solid NO.



Luckily I'm not a normie and never invested. I just got my coins. Good old times when Bitcoin just lay about everywhere. Only problem: explain that to your tax office.

I think they get more in capital gains tax from us than they would have gotten in income tax.

As more and more people start to move their savings to BTC, fewer and fewer will buy bonds and stocks. And in the end that will crash the bond and stock markets unless they start pricing them in BTC. And that is what will really spook the banks and governments. And that's when they will really try to ban crypto currencies.

Alright, so it's clear that bitcoins future trading at CME will be rolling out in approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes from now. Things are going to get interesting, I don't know why but I'm sensing $22k-$25k within first couple of hours. CBOE is nothing like CME, CME has a much larger volume than CBOE. So we can go more wilder than before.

Are they cash settled as well? If they are I don't think it will move the market at all.

Well, it's finally here. This is is truly the beginning of the end. And I'm serious. Wall street will put this thing out of its misery once and for all. We'll see 10k before the end of the year for sure. 2018 will be a horror show back below 1k. 2019 will be the year the world tries to figure out just what the hell happened. 2020 the world moves on and bitcoin becomes a memory.

Quoting for reference.

I can actually see 10k happening, but it would be a flash crash before a cash grab back up.

So...bullish?

My next house will have an indoor range, and I already have some photos selected for future target practice.

That only leaves Jimbo Toronto's favored buying option of stuffing cash into Bitcoin ATMs, and they will probably soon be too full of cash to accept any more.

No it doesn't. Over here you can use Swish 24/7 for immediate bank transfers, no fee, and btcx.se is open  24/7 and accepts Swish. That's usually where I buy now that the buy option on Blockchain.info is disabled.

Yeah, every trade is a taxable event to US persons. Whether that is buying coffee or litecoin. It is property according to the IRS.

Even if you thought you could get away with the like kind exchange rule, you still have to report every trade individually on the exemption form.

If it were classified as a stock, you could just report net gains and losses but not so with property.

They have made compliance nearly impossible so unless someone passes a law to exempt transactions prior to a certain date, a lot of people are going to owe back taxes and penalties if not jail time.
Simple solution: Become an expat.

Not so easy or simple, unfortunately. Have you heard of the Exit Tax? Capital gains are realized for high net worth individuals upon renouncing.

You still owe cap gains if you don't renounce and just expat. Unless you plan on just hiding and never setting foot in US again nor using any international banks cooperating with FinCen rules.

Puerto Rico offers tax free cap gains for residents, but you still owe on any gains realized up to the date you become a resident.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2017/02/27/renounce-u-s-heres-how-irs-computes-exit-tax/#45c8627287d4

No, I actually haven't heard of the exit tax. It does make sense to some degree, or at least it would if taxes were legitimate in the first place. But regardless of whether or not you'd choose to pay what you "owe" before renouncing, it still doesn't sound like anyone who expects any significant profits should be staying in the US any longer than absolutely necessary for whatever individual circumstances.

Agreed. However, I'm suspecting you're not married or have many close family relations in the US? The moment I brought up renouncing to my wife, and that she would need to apply for visas to visit family, friends, etc., well... you can imagine the response. Although she's warming up to it proportionally to crypto value.

Which begs the question, how much is US citizenship worth? A US passport gets you in a lot of places without visas or trouble. Attaining citizenship in another country takes time and often a good deal of (traceable, taxable) fiat. Although being stateless is an option, it's not recommended for long. You have no rights, anywhere.




I think you can buy New Zealand citizenship and that will get you anywhere US citizenship will.  You can go buy mountain in Queenstown with all the hedge fund billionaires.

Creation of fiat is neccessary because they amount of goods, services, and people are constantly growing. If there was no new fiat, fiat would be deflationary and then nobody would spend it - only hoard it like bitcoins.

I understand. But thank you. Smiley

Not so fast. That's the keynesian version. That is the version of economics thats been in fashion since the end of WW2. It's because of that version of economics that we now have inflationary fiat money. It's supposed to make the money flow and thus increase GDP, and in the end everybody's wealth.

However, that system doesn't seem to work. It makes it impossible to save, and makes it necessary to borrow, witch in the end makes average Joe poorer, and makes the economy crash regularly.

The economic system used before WW2, and the system that cryptocurrencies belong to is called the Austrian school of economics. It basically says that money should not be inflationary, and people should be able to save for a rainy day. A dollar or whatever currency you use should still be wort the same in a 100 years time.
People will still consume, but they will save for their consumtion instead of borrowing for it. Bitcoin is a Austrian type of currency, and one with hyper deflation at that. Something never seen before, and a very interesting economic experiment

The future will probably see two parallel economics at work at the same time, where people will save in crypto, and borrow in fiat. This might either stabilize the economy or crash it. I think it will make it more stable, but only the future can tell.

Depends on where you  live. Wellington is windy and gets a lot of rain, although the city is beautiful. I spent many years working in Wellington and I prefer it over Auckland. Auckland is nice but it has gotten expensive and crowded. Wine country of Hawkes Bay is fantastic.( Napier and Hastings) Great weather, many wineries, great food, fantastic bike riding.

The south island is extremely beautiful. I will be spending some more time there next year. So many great places. I want to go to Lake Tekapo. It is one of our dark sky reserves for seeing the night sky.


 

Thanks, I might go for a visit at least, but a little worried about seismic activity.

I just realized that I forgot to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Now, Santa last evening gave me a new hard drive to replace the one in my old computer that crashed. I have since bought a new computer with Windows 10 installed, and that OS is a piece of shit, it kidnaps my computer for hours and it changes my settings and puts back things that I have removed, and you can't disable updates. And now I have learned that the CPU might spy on me. So that computer is going to be used for mining Bgold instead.

Since there seems to be some computer savvy guys on here I'm asking your advice.
I'm thinking of installing PureOS as my OS on my new hard drive. Are there any issues with that OS? like popular applications not working?

The new shit computer will get a GPU installed (also courtesy of Santa ) and will be used for mining Bgold. I have never mined before and I'm doing it mostly because I want the experience.
I know absolutely nothing about mining and will just follow the steps in the Bgold tutorial without actually knowing what I'm doing.
My question is, does it matter how the computer is connected to the router? Is it enough to use a wifi connection?
Or must I use a cable?

These M/S effers prompted me to voluntarily "upgrade" to Windows 10.  After a day or two, I uninstalled.
Then they freaking tricked me into reinstalling it via auto "updates" a few months later.
USA is a freaking spy state.
Uninstall ASAP!
BTW Windows 7 is OK until you find something better.
Stay away from BCG.

Yeah, I had Windows 7 on the old computer before the HD crashed, and it worked fine. But they tried real hard to get me to update to 10, but I resisted.
However for mining only I see no reason to uninstall, if I'm wrong I will definitely try and install Windows 7 if I can find it.

And I'm mining for fun and the experience so Bgold is as good as any other shit coin as I see it.

Perhaps, overly excited because so far this BTC "crash" has not really gone beyond a 43% correction, which was $11,160 on Bitstamp.


Surely, UP is not inevitable, but BTC seems to be quite poised for the new year, and we are still 3-4x beyond my most bullish expectations in this same time-frame.

Anyone else a BTC HODLer and accumulator in this thread, beyond me?  I would think that this thread has lots of folks in really decent BTC positions, and maybe they are remaining silent regarding their excitement - because in the past several days, we have also seen a lot of trolling and bcash shilling going on in this thread too, right?

I'm a hodler since 2013, but I'm also a north European, and we do not go around and show feelings, to us that is a private matter.
You I guess are some kind of south European/south American or some kind of derivation thereof.
And your kind are known to not being able to control and contain your feelings, much like a child.

I puzzle why you assert such?

My behavior is not inconsistent with prior behavior.   I did get a chance to catch up on the thread, and further is my estimated odds for a new pre- New Year ATH out of wack?   truly puzzled, I am.    Huh

Not inconsistent, just elevated and accelerated and hyper.


Perhaps, overly excited because so far this BTC "crash" has not really gone beyond a 43% correction, which was $11,160 on Bitstamp.


Surely, UP is not inevitable, but BTC seems to be quite poised for the new year, and we are still 3-4x beyond my most bullish expectations in this same time-frame.

Anyone else a BTC HODLer and accumulator in this thread, beyond me?  I would think that this thread has lots of folks in really decent BTC positions, and maybe they are remaining silent regarding their excitement - because in the past several days, we have also seen a lot of trolling and bcash shilling going on in this thread too, right?

I'm a hodler since 2013, but I'm also a north European, and we do not go around and show feelings, to us that is a private matter.
You I guess are some kind of south European/south American or some kind of derivation thereof.
And your kind are known to not being able to control and contain your feelings, much like a child.

Haaahahahah

What a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe you don't know how to read tone or context?  Or perhaps you just want to stir shit and engage in irrelevant attempts at psycho-analysis?

Merely because someone in this thread or otherwise shows indications of emotions or s/he types with a certain amount of flare or emphasis, upon certain words or appearance of emotion does not necessarily indicate that s/he is either writing out of emotion or has lost control of his/her emotions.

Get a fucking clue.... you presumptuous nincompoop!   Roll Eyes


Maybe my writings was a little too strong, I meant nothing bad by it, I still think the stereotypes are true though.

Anyway, have a good Christmas and new year.....   you annoying nincompoop.

Hahahahahaha,,

I hit refresh on this page, and I was mentally preparing to go into stronger attack mode, but since there seems to be a bit of humor and goodwill thrown in, here, I will refrain myself from such seeming non necessities.  

And, Cheerio to you too.  Don't drink too much egg nog, or whatever it is that you drink in your parts to warm the belly and keep off the chill.

Regarding BTC prices... Nice little $1,000 boost in the past 60 minutes - ish.  I am thinking that when we get to $19,666 this next time, I will have about 2-3% more BTC than I had the last time that we were there - but I am still a bit unclear because my record keeping does not seem to be good at projecting, exactly.  We had a 43% drop, and I know some people are able to make out better with those kinds of price drops, but my trading and portfolio preservation style seems too conservative, and I end up being happy with making a mere 2-3%-ish from such a drop...

We will see, but currently, i am merely projecting about a 2-3% increase in my BTC portfolio size by the time we reach that $19,666 price, assuming that we reach it soon.  1 to 4 weeks, perhaps?

actually, we drink hot glögg, you should try it, its really good on a cold dark winters day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glögi   that article for some reason concentrates on the Finnish version (and spelling) but it can be generalized to the rest of the Nordic countries as well.

I'd say a cable can't hurt. It really depends on the bandwidth required. Not sure GPU mining can actually manage without a solid ethernet cable. A full (non mining) bitcoin node would at least choke a bit on wifi.
For authoritative answers, you'd better wait for one of our miners to chime in.

Thank you for your input.

When I can't use Win7 any more, I guess I'll have to choose a Linux distro.


yep, planning that migration already

and my list of blocked win7 updates is as long as your arm...sad

So was mine. But unfortunately my HD crashed and I had to get a new computer fast, and all that was available was computers with Windows 10 preinstalled. I decided to give it a go and I'm regretting it already. You can't disable updates, and I have that weird felling of being spied on all the time, and every now and then the hard drive on C starts for no reason. It changes your settings with every update and it puts back things that you removed.
So I therefore decided to put a new HD in my old computer and now I'm looking for a OS to put on it, that's why I'm asking about PureOS. It seems to be very secure and user friendly, but I would like to here the opinion of someone with actual experience.

The new Windows 10 computer will be used for GPU mining only, let them spy on that if it amuses them.

Cable is always the best choice but, if you are mining to a pool and your wifi is stable probably there will be no significant difference. I was mining for some time with an antminer S3 I added an antenna over wifi and it worked well. There is very little traffic if you are pool mining and a few ms of additional latency are not that important. Running a full node would be a much different matter.

Never used PureOS. I usually prefer vanilla debian or any other widely used distribution so that any new vulnerabilities are published/patched soon enough.

Thank you, I will be pool mining and I'm going to do it for fun, not for profits. I only have one cable slot on my router and would prefer to use that for my everyday computer so I will give the wifi a try.

I can't complain.
Music also helps to keep us young. See the incredible age managed by famous conductors, often still in full activity.

As I said before, I don't trust anything from any American company in this age of Prism. If Win7 becomes unusable, I'll switch to Linux in a heartbeat. Phuque the NSA.

If it has legacy BIOS and I can install from my TheThingy DVD, I'll avoid the HP/MS DVD completely. I'll still have a legal Win7 license.

MS is stopping support for Win7 updates so I see no need to do any updates, so I'll just turn them off. After all, I'm just planning on using it as a "throwaway" system anyway... nothing important, confidential, nor sensitive.

Sorry for posting way off topic this morning, I was in panic mode. I know you guys are always on here, and I appreciate your help. Looks like I actually got my coins back now. (mind blown) I got on this morning to send a transaction, I was watching it on the blockchain, 2 hours later. A separate transaction appeared sending my remaining coins to unknown address. Which turns out, is one of my own hidden addresses. I know change can be sent back to hidden addresses, my understanding is it's always in the same Transaction ID though. This transaction shows on the blockchain with it's own ID but doesn't show in my wallet.

That's the first time I've ever seen a backdoor virus detected on this pc and I definitely did not turn defender off myself. Maybe that's just a coincidence and it was leading to draw the wrong conclusions. I dunno. I did a format and reinstall of windows 3 days ago because windows was reporting corrupt system files when trying to update. I've only installed programs I consider trustworthy since, so I'm really surprised to find a backdoor got on here. Anyway, think I'm going to take a nap when my blood pressure returns to normal.

Congratulations!!

They work very well, but on it's lowest level, it's just two long strings of characters. Find a way to securely and safely store those two numbers in addition to paper wallets. Paper wallets do not work well in a washing machine, or a fire.

EDIT: To use paper wallets at all, you eventually have to know how to get BTC out. There are two main choices with software wallets. if you IMPORT the private key, it is available in both locations. If you SWEEP the key, it conclusively moves it. A good way to start is put a tiny bit in a paper wallet, then familiarize yourself with sweeping it to a software/hardware wallet. Sweep may be more secure than import, else you can leave several software wallets around with BTC. You need to always secure the software ones. When TX fees are low, flip it around a few times. Then you won't be stressed over moving large amounts someday.

I'm familiar with sweeping, I have done that with most of my addresses to claim my clone coins. I'm just worried that the private key on that piece of paper wont work. How do I know that the private key actually work? What if my coins are stuck in that piece of paper for ever?. ( I know they are not actually in the paper wallet, I'm not that dumb).

Presumably you'd be using something like Bitaddress a long way offline. Create your wallet and store everything. Then start another Bitaddress session and feed in the private key in the wallet details bit. It'll show you the same address and then you'll know you're set for life.

One of the reasons I'm worried is because my legacy address on Blockchain holds some dust, but when I try to sweep that dust to a BTC or BTG wallet it says "no funds".  So that private key obviously doesn't work.

You should be making the paper wallets on an offline computer. Nothing prevents you from testing the private keys on a wallet like electrum, on that offline computer.

the computer where you create the keypair needs to be an ABSOLUTELY SECURE ENVIRONMENT, linux distro with verified checksum that NEVER touches the web.

But I have to go online to download the site/program that creates the wallets.

How were your funds stolen?

Windows 10, I just did a fresh install a few days ago. I haven’t installed much other then btc, Ltd, ripple wallet. Not sure how I got a virus. It turned off windows defender and I only saw it detected a virus when I turned it back on. This is after I already noticed my coins moving on the blockchain. I don’t keep wallets on on my pc but I had them on for a min earlier today to move some coins.

That's what hardware wallets are for... to NEVER let your regular computer know your private keys not even for a brief second (which people with paperwallets will have to do when they decide to claim them).

Unfortunately that advice is of not much help for your recent incident now Sad

If you claim it on a phone wallet it never touches your computer.

You're intuition is spot on.

Also, power prices in Germany (and other Euro countries) going negative? So why aren't more Bitcoin miners setting up shop there?
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/25/business/energy-environment/germany-electricity-negative-prices.html

Warmist propaganda.
Germany has one of the highest price of electricity in Europe


Because 'customers' pay a fixed rate. Typically ~ 33 US cent / kWh, taxes, transportation fees (really), regional fees (regions with weaker infrastructure pay more), ecology fees (to pay people feeding power in from solar panels) and... more stuff... Selling prices are not really influenced by purchase/production costs. Long story short, mining will pay-off only if you have your own solar park and the sun is shining. Cool

...or if you make a deal with somebody who will mine for you at a better electricity rate. 

This guy just opened a mining farm in Malmö, Sweden http://www.skd.se/2017/11/07/bitcoin-fabrik-oppnade-i-hamnen/
 And there is one in an actual mine in northern Sweden, and the old KNC miner rigs are still working. They were bought from the bankruptcy estate by a entrepreneur who knows nothing about mining but a lot about business. He lets people rent the rigs and he insulated the place and harnessed the heat and now sells it to the neighboring industries in the area. So more and more mining is going on in Europe, at least in Sweden.

I would tear the paper wallet in half and store it in two different banks and also cut off a third piece that is only memorized.

Then if you had a head injury you could easily lose your fortune.

I go to the library, (with my clothes on), download the "make your paper wallet" site from the library computer (so the computer can't be traced to me) onto a USB stick. Buy a refurbished poo computer from Ebay, Get naked, take a shower just to be sure, put on a balaclava thats been in the microwave to kill the microcameras that might have been put there by the Chinese who made it, get an enema, make the wallets, preferably in a dark room with loud music, print them on a virgin printer, pour petrol on the printer and computer and burn them, put the wallets in an envelope seal it with wax and my coat of arms, and put it in my box in the bank.

Did I miss anything?

But seriously, thank you all for your input, I know OPSEC is important, and I do get more and more paranoid as the price goes up.

I would just roll some dice about a hundred times (256 bits needed huh), they don't even have to be casino grade. Or shuffle a deck of cards. ... That opendime thing looks interesting too.


I found some code before to generate paper wallets, and dice2key, and nobrainer ... they take input from your keyboard and combine it with other randomness from your computer to spit out completely random private keys.

Here's a paper wallet generator with source code: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361092

And here's the dice2key one: https://github.com/swansontec/dice2key

But I seem to have found another one similar somewhere else, I have saved it locally on my drive but you may want to go look for an open source version and compile it yourself.

For paper wallet purposes, both bitaddress.org and vanitygen will work just as well. You could also go with something like Warp Wallet and a bunch of random words (or again, dice rolls.)

Thanks.

Do yourself a favour. Get a TREZOR. Seriously. I don't think you want to expose yourself to the risks of owning and maintaining a paper wallet. Write your 24-word seed on 2-3 small pieces or paper, laminate them, and store/hide them safely in 2-3 separate places. Also, use an additional 25th word/phrase (passphrase), so that even if someone finds your seed, it will be useless without the passphrase.

All done! You can sleep peacefully at night. Definitely worth the 100-something € to buy the TREZOR.

^^^ THIS

I really can't understand guys having a "fortune" in crypto and not owning some hardware wallets. You don't even need to put everything you own into it. Just buy it, play with it and, when you are confident enough, decide how much you want to manage with a hardware wallet, how much in paperwallets, how much in exchanges, in software wallets, etc....


I don't trust those electronic gizmo's. Paper and ink is after all paper and ink, and can't be tampered with. Keeping it in a safe place is the least of my worries.

Seems like if you put it in the bank, then you still need one other location, in case the bank burns down or something.  Whether your second location is your home or another bank, it is not so likely that your catastrophic failure is going to happen at both of your locations at the same time, no?

I am, seriously, going to bury a laminated copy somewhere on my land. And have smaller amounts also in my hidden home safe. (I have a visible decoy safe bought very cheap from Cina with some crap in it).

I don't know much about paper wallets. But aren't they basically bearer bonds. Are they pw protected at all? Doesn't asset forfeiture apply to bank safe deposit boxes just as well as accounts?

I don't trust banks full-stop.

Seems like a very physical approach to security.

I don't even know what that means.

First off, you people seem to have an inordinate amount of trust in banks.  'Safe deposit boxes'  Belong to the bank, just like your deposits.  Access is controlled...Not by You.

As for burying laminated paper... Maybe if you live in a desert.  Test your lamination in a bucket of water for double your minimum expected burial time, with many test subjects.  Plastic is water resistant.  For a time.  Not for all time. Better to bury stamped stainless, or even stamped plastic if you worry about metal detectors, or if heat is a zero concern (house fire, wild fire, etc.)

To clarify, they would in turn be in a airtight plastic container.

Until it doesn't.  Used to be that way everywhere.  If you are correct, Sweden is one of the few remaining western states where this is the case.  I suppose you don't have bail-in laws either then.  Canada got those in 2013.  Depositors are 3rd tier creditors.

I think the EU has bail in laws, but they do not apply to deposit boxes.

I don't trust those electronic gizmo's. Paper and ink is after all paper and ink, and can't be tampered with. Keeping it in a safe place is the least of my worries.

Fair concern. But then you must also take into account that if you are using paperwallets, you:

- Are trusting that the algo they are using to generate them is completely foolproof.

- When you go to redeem them... I supposse you will be using a completely safe, isolated computer, sign the transaction and broadcast it from a connected one.

That process is cumbersome and it seems you just come up with an equivalent security of a hardware wallet.

I am more into DIVERSIFY investments and DIVERSIFY risks. Never put all egg into the same basket....

That said, I have to recognise that most of my "eggs" are on hardware wallets (two ledgers and 1 trezor).

If you are gonna go the paperwallet route... just make sure each one is of small amount, so that when you go "redeem" it, you will notice if anything "went wrong" before redeeming the next one.

I would only claim them to use the money, and I would simply sweep them to my Coinimi wallet.

Coinomi would just be short stop on the way to the exchange.
And I already own a phone.

And to be clear, I'm not trying to hide my stash from any authorities or agencies, just keeping them out of reach of robbers, burglers and hackers.

If I were it would't be announced to the world.

Actually no, they are all controlled by local councils  or run privately.

I think you Americans use the word socialist differently then we do.
We use it in it's original meaning (No democracy, everything owned by the state, private ownership not allowed, dictatorship, and so on).
While you seem to glue that word on any high tax democracy with a welfare system..

They DO know you might have firearms or whatever inside it. It's never YOU who open your safe, and even if you allowed to do it, they KNOW that is a critical moment and are 100% ready to take action into any suspecting move you make.

I have always said that it is way better to bury whatever in the ground so that even if you tell them where it is (and you probably will) it will take a lot of time and noise to break through .5 or even 1 meter of sweet cement and tiles. Of course that is only for very long term safe storage and suppossing you have neighbours that would notice the irregular noise.

In cement would be overkill even for me, but in the ground yes.

No, just bitcoins. It's non custodial, you have the seed.

But still the phone/computer you are using it gets to know the seed from the very moment you input it.

I meant the seed to the Coinomi wallet. But yes, when you scan your private key, the wallet gets that info, but how else would you sweep a wallet. You have to convert your private key at some point.

"sweet cement"... I don't know if that is a right english term.... It is basically a mixture of cement that has much more sand so it is compact but at the same time easier to get through. A good few hours would probably be needed though with a handheld electric hammer. So it is good for a long term storage solution yet very difficult for the thieves to carry on without risking someone calling police during the process.

Yeah, I'm not going to work a jackhammer for two hours to get to my stash.

I am, seriously, going to bury a laminated copy somewhere on my land. And have smaller amounts also in my hidden home safe. (I have a visible decoy safe bought very cheap from Cina with some crap in it).

and now the internet knows all these things


Hahahahahaha...   I can see it now.


Criminal:  "Hey Arriemoller, your valuables or your life."

Arriemoller:  "Please, please, no, no, no.. don't take my life... .. o.k.  I will take you to my safe.  Here it is ... it is be called safe."

Criminal:  "Is this the "decoy safe" or the real one?"

Arriemoller:  "Of course this is the real safe.  I want you to have all my valuables and not my life."

Criminal:  "O.k.  i thought that I read somewhere...... "

Arriemoller interrupts criminal, and:  "you probably getting me mixed up with someone else, and you know peeps say all kinds of shit on the interwebs... Of course that is the real safe with real bitcoins and other cryptos available and even title to my yacht that I acquired from the appreciation of my many ETHs.  Surely, I have no other safes in any of these places nor on my yacht.. and you can take the yacht, too."

Criminal:  "O.k.  Your story seems quite plausible, and I have a high level of confidence that you are disclosing everything, and for that reason, I am even gonna leave you with your yacht and I will just take the total value of your crypto that is in this safe, which happens to be .003146BTC and 25.384 ETH, and that should be enough for me anyhow, since I am a modest kind of criminal, and I have modest material needs, too.  Thank you very much, Arriemoller, you have been amongst the most cooperative of my crypto targets, and I thank you for making this whole robbing process easier for me."

Arriemoller and Criminal do a "man hug" because no gay here, and then each goes their separate ways, which means the criminal leaves.   Cheesy Cheesy

I do NOT have ETH, but I do have a loaded pistol in a safe. Please let the robbers make me open that safe.


that makes this hypothetical even more fun.    Cheesy Cheesy

Arriemoller:  "Criminal, could you just stand right here, while I open my real safe, it is a spot that I reserve for criminals, and it just happens to be a trap, but never mind that."

Criminal:  "Oh, O.k.  I am so glad that you thought this through in advance.  You know most of my victims have no idea, and they have accidents with their bodily functions.  This is so much more pleasurable for me, to come into a situation in which each of us have assigned spots."

Arriemoller:  "No problem, I have been waiting for this moment for years and years and years, so I am glad that you finally came and allowed me to test to make sure that everything works as planned."

Criminal:  "o.k."

Criminal then stands in designated spot as requested by Arriemoller, and Arriemoller presses a "secret" button, but does not tell Criminal that he is going to push it.  Criminal then falls through a trap door and is empaled by 256 swords.

Criminal in his last living breaths:  " you tricked me Arriemoller, you fucker.  This robbery was not supposed to end like this."   

"256 swords" do you have any idea how expensive a sword is? I would just use those iron thingys you use to reinforce concrete.

You rent the box and it can't be opened without a court order.

OK... so you trust your banks and government and legal system, in a vastly socialist state.   My condolences. 

Socialist?

Sweden has always been a capitalist democratic country with due process and all that.

I will allow you to be a step above Norway, maybe above Denmark.  Not difficult, as some of the most socialist western countries.

Is your schooling, healthcare, wellfare, transport government controlled?  Do you pay taxes (all right, I know you pay among the highest in the world)  Welcome to socialism, my friend.




Actually no, they are all controlled by local councils  or run privately.

I think you Americans use the word socialist differently then we do.
We use it in it's original meaning (No democracy, everything owned by the state, private ownership not allowed, dictatorship, and so on).
While you seem to glue that word on any high tax democracy with a welfare system..

Isn't that comunism?

Yup, that's communism. Communism is a system of government. One party controlling the whole country.

Socialism is about economic policy. Think of it as the opposite of capitalism. Socialism want's equal distribution of wealth among all, capitalism welcomes free enterprise and competition.

Traditionally in the 20th century all communist countries were also socialist. But just look at China. It's a perfect example of a communist capitalist country.

Nope, that's wrong, but I'm too tired to argue, let's continue on Sunday.

I welcome the opportunity to be schooled on a system of government and economic policies I was born into by someone who wasn't. Should make for a lively debate Smiley

It's you who are trying to school me on the system I was born into. You are the ones calling a capitalist democracy a socialist country.
But now I really have to go to bed.

Yeah, well, I ain't gonna fight the IRS on what they are due. That's just a bad time right there and too much stress.

I'm a proud, patriotic American Citizen.

Fuck you.

It's less stressful, possibly overpaying on quarterly taxes, than needing to stress about the prospect of a FUCKING MASSIVE bill due on April 15th if you didn't play by the rules.

Trust me. Having to deal with a FUCKING MASSIVE payment on April 15th is much more painful than making "very healthy" payments, quarterly, to the IRS.

It drives my partner crazy - that I round up to the nearest quarter-thousand when it comes to paying taxes - but I've been on the other side of owing FUCKING MASSIVE back taxes, and that's not something I ever want to deal with again in my lifetime.




I got a letter from the taxman the other day saying I owe the state the equivalent of 10 cents, that's slightly less then the postage .

By any rational standard, an organism that is incapable of reproducing has failed natural selection and is a genetic error...  

I would invite you to look into research on homosexuality in simian populations - the non-reproducing members contribute to the group in other ways, such as helping raise the young within the tribe, and resource gathering.

things like "SJW-ism" and liberalism - cancer cells attempting to attack the functional cells.

No argument with you there. Fuck everything about SJW-ism and liberalism.



I'm not even convinced that being gay or lesbian is genetic destiny. There have been studies with identical twins, and the correlation is far from the 100% expected if it were entirely genetic. This suggests that there are environment factors at work. Even if there were genes that increase the likelihood someone will turn out homosexual, this isn't necessarily an "error." The exact same genes could also enhance a person's ability to pass on the genes to the next generation,  either through a survival advantage or making them more attractive to the opposite sex.

Are folks believing that Bitcoin.com is a legitimate entrance into information about bitcoin?

There seem to be quite a few folks who get confused by this kind of information, including supposed legitimacy in a name, such as bitcoin.com (which is really nearly a full fledged attack on bitcoin, no?)

I think one of the reason why the Core team insists on soft fork and no hard fork is for backward compatibility, so that someone can still run their strip-down 0.5.3 node.

But I presume everyone already knows that if you bury those paper wallets in the backyard, it is going to turn into dust in a few years.  Same thing as if someone bury those fiat cash (non polymer ones), you will end up with only those shiny metallic security stripe.  Some govt/bank will allow you to exchange those metallic security stripe into new notes, but don't bet on it.

So if people insist on burying their paper wallet, use something like CryptoSteel or just stamp your private keys (part of it or "encrypted") onto metal sheets or AU kilobars.  

I don't bury paper, do I come of as subpar IQ?
They are in turn put in airtight plastic containers, and also a copy on a USB stick, you know, like Jimbo does it.

I have actually decided to not buy a Tesla after I saw a video where a guy parked a Tesla at the airport and went on vacation.
When he came back the battery was dead, and the car had to be towed. Apparently a parked Tesla draws about 3 to 6% of the battery power per 24 hours.
A main switch to the battery would have fixed that, trucks/lorries have had that for ages. That's what happens when a IT nerd builds a car.

I will go for the BMW I3 with range extender.

So United Bitcoin requires you to have sent a transaction in order to be credited with fork coins.  Any address which has not sent coins is counted as “inactive”.

But of course most wallet software sending BTC simply splits the funds into two transactions - the sum being sent and a change transaction to a new address.  

Which of course means that your sending address can’t be credited with UB coins because it’s now empty and your change address can’t be credited with coins because it’s “inactive” because it has never sent a transaction.  

Which basically means Garzik keeps all the coins but gets to claim a market cap based on a Bitcoin airdrop. Garzik is so clever....

Don't worry, in Q1 both Bitcoin Atom and Bitcoin God will be available in your Coinomi wallet. And they are both giving 1:1.
I don't bother with anything less, unless they for some reason should take of.

You don't need to claim most of them, you already have them on the forked chain, just like BCH. You just need to access them.
Is it worth it?  - I've made  about 1.5% (of my total BTC) profit for both Bitcoin Diamond & SuperBitcoin.  I was quick off the mark, and that returned has probably slipped to <1% now.




Ok, how do I access them then?

Dear Bitcorn,

Hi! I know, we don't talk much anymore. I'm semi-retired, and you're big time now. But listen.

We would all be really tickled if you'd stay above $16k.

Don't want to seem ungrateful, but like jojo says, we have mouths to feed. Food for thought.



Well, yes, actually, I am o.k. if we do not necessarily stay above $16k; however, we have kind of gotten used to this newly found wealth.


I am kind of suspecting that we have decent possibilities to stay within a $14k to $18k price range, yet I get the sense that due to the ongoing level of dispute about the actual price, there could be considerable movement that will include $11k to $20k, and so in that regard, we are kind of still in a sub $20k consolidation range that remains quite large. 

Certainly, I would like to break upwards, too, or even to stay within the range, whether the more solid range is $14k to $18k or whether such more solid range is $11k to $20k.  Either way, the bitcoin price battle has not stopped, and there remains disagreement.  Bears would really love to push BTC prices down, but they are running into too much support and buying support continues to catch up and to keep up.  In the end, we are going to break above $20k, it is just a matter whether that breaking up happens within a week or if it takes a few months to accomplish.

Breaking down seems less likely than breaking up, such as 43.71497%-ish, but UP still seems the more likely with about a  56.28503% chance.. in other words, currently, up remains more likely than down.  hahahahahaha    Wink


Can you show how you got that percentage conclusion. Thank you.

Love from,

Everyone on this thread. X



Oh shit, "we" are all fucked now, because even rjclarke is playing the royal "we" card.

Just to be clear,  those numbers were pulled out of a near total contextualized assessment of BTC market dynamics accounting for historical happenings, momentum and future probabilities of a variety of events that have not yet happened, including trade volume representations, knowns, unknowns and uncertainties.

In other words, I am employing a kind of amalgoratiated "speculation" within conformity of the WO tradition.     Tongue

Makes more sense, now?  Are "we" satisfied?  Smiley

So...from your ass?

Please elaborate.

Yes, please describe "the easiest method" would save me a lot of time.

EDIT: I see you answered the question already, won't work for me I'm afraid. have a Android phone and my stash is not in a Trezor or any suck gizmo.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2702926.msg27635171#msg27635171

so that works if you have a recovery seed... I have yet to find any way to split bitcoindiamond from the core-dev bitcoin-QT wallet...  Aside from pulling down and compiling the bitcoindiamond code, has anyone found a safe way to split bitcoindiamond from a bitcoin-QT wallet/node?

thanks,
Sig

As far as I know you can't split the coins in the core wallet. But you can get the private key to your addresses by following this tutorial.

1) Click on "help" menu, then "debug window", then the "console" tab
2) Type: walletpassphrase [your wallet password] 600 (do not include the [ ] brackets, just your wallet password)
3) Write: dumpprivkey [address where you have bitcoin] (do not include the [ ] brackets, just your BTC address)
4) You will be shown your private key for this address.

Then you will have to find a wallet where you can scan/insert the private key to claim your coins.
Tell me if you find one.

EDIT: I haven't downloaded Bitpie yet to my phone, I thought it wanted a little to much information. I do however have an old phone I don't use any more where I will download it as soon as I can get to a place with free wifi. But I have no idea if you can sweep a private key in the Bitpie wallet like you can in Coinomi. I'll have to play around a bit with it when downloaded.

Once it's running, it doesn't download the blockchain, because I guess i am the only one on Earth to run this, or something.

This has just summed up exactly why the average person would never actually use bitcoin. If you try to explain the 'how to use it' and 'what does it do', it will not offer any advantages over fiat/visa and only drawbacks. The only advantages come either if you are a criminal or if you are a trader/investor/gambler. There isn't any use case for the average person except making a profit, which is why everyone is in now.

That very much depends on where you live and if you are a spender or a hodler.

How was it with a paper wallet? If I have 10 Bitcoins on a paper wallet, I have to sent them all at once to the exchange? Otherwise the rest will get lost?

There is a step between having a paper wallet and sending it to the exchange.

You have to import your private key into a hot wallet before sending it to the exchange. When you send less than 10 bitcoins to the exchange, depending upon your hot wallet software, you will either get the remaining coins in a different address or it will go back to your original address (blockchain.info).

Either way, once you import your private key to a hot wallet...it's no longer secure. You need to go through the process to put it on a paper wallet again.

unless you run something like armory where you can create a transaction and sign it on a completely secure offline computing environment, then import that sig to an online box and broadcast it

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.

Well you do as you want, but I will keep my coins in my phone until the forkathon is over and then make a bunch of paper wallets for half my stash and move the other half to another Coinomi wallet. I will then use the seed from Coinomi to extract my private keys and claim all the coins that I couldn't claim in Coinomi using Bither and Bitpie instead.
Coinomi is non custodial if that makes you feel any better.
Personally I don't see how a wallet on your computer is any safer than a wallet on your phone (maybe except for a full node on an ofline computer).
It should be noted that the phone I use for crypto is only used for that and only gets started when I need to do something with my stash. On my everyday phone I have very little crypto.

offline box - An absolutely secure, known and trusted computing environment.  This computer NEVER touches a network.  USB sticks never go from a networked computer to this computer, only the other way around.  Most people use minimalist hardware, old socket AM2 boxes or even raspberry pi for this.  Live Linux sessions are the OS of choice...be sure to check that MD5 checksum kids.

online box - Your day to day posting on WO, reading news, email and porn box.  Assumed to be riddled with keyloggers and zero days, may even have a tiny NSA agent living inside.

signing - Verifies that the transaction in question has been authorized by your private key.  Obviously your private key is not included in a transaction.  Signing is the process whereby you demonstrate to the network that the transaction has been authorized and is in fact valid.  This is a basic function of dual key encryption.  If you don't get this you should sell your bitcoin and store your wealth in a system with a safety net.

broadcast - the process whereby the network becomes aware of the signed transaction.  The transaction data is disseminated to your peer nodes which rebroadcast it.  The aggregate unverified transactions on the network are known as the mempool.  This is the data from which each miner will select their 1MB of choice, choose a nonce and hash.


anyone who keeps more than 1 or 2 BTC on a phone...I just don't know what to say without being rude...you are playing with fire

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.

Signing, as jojo69 and erre explained, is the process of adding your key to the transaction. The key is the "owner's seal of approval" for each address that is being charged (only 1 address for the simple, most common transactions).

When you add the key, it gets mixed up with the transaction by crypto magic, so that anyone can easily check the owner's seal, without being able to look at it (in other words: unable to steal it). So a signed transaction is safe to broadcast (that's not just "send"- it's "send for the world to see").

While you sign, the key is exposed. If someone gets hold of it, they can sign any transaction in your name (with ALL your coins from that key's address). So the signing process is best done offline, in a safe box, which a phone generally isn't. What's more, if the key just lives in the phone (which it must if you can sign from it!), when the phone gets compromised you risk losing every single satoshi on it.

Well, since I don't know what signing is, I never sign. When I move my coins I just scan or type the address of the recipient and hit send. Or if I am going to empty my wallet I might sweep it. What's the problem with that? If wallets aren't safe how are we ever going to be able to buy things? And as I said, my phone with my stash is only on wile I'm doing transactions. The only way to get to my coins would be to steal my phone and know my password. Or somehow get a glimpse of my seed. And neither of that is possible. Believe me, they are stored safely.
You guys are way too paranoid.

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?



offline box - An absolutely secure, known and trusted computing environment.  This computer NEVER touches a network.  USB sticks never go from a networked computer to this computer, only the other way around.  Most people use minimalist hardware, old socket AM2 boxes or even raspberry pi for this.  Live Linux sessions are the OS of choice...be sure to check that MD5 checksum kids.

online box - Your day to day posting on WO, reading news, email and porn box.  Assumed to be riddled with keyloggers and zero days, may even have a tiny NSA agent living inside.

signing - Verifies that the transaction in question has been authorized by your private key.  Obviously your private key is not included in a transaction.  Signing is the process whereby you demonstrate to the network that the transaction has been authorized and is in fact valid.  This is a basic function of dual key encryption.  If you don't get this you should sell your bitcoin and store your wealth in a system with a safety net.

broadcast - the process whereby the network becomes aware of the signed transaction.  The transaction data is disseminated to your peer nodes which rebroadcast it.  The aggregate unverified transactions on the network are known as the mempool.  This is the data from which each miner will select their 1MB of choice, choose a nonce and hash.


anyone who keeps more than 1 or 2 BTC on a phone...I just don't know what to say without being rude...you are playing with fire

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.

I tempted to explain it as clear as possible, jojo was a bit more technical but we both kindly tried to save you from complete ignorance.
You are here from 2013 and you should at least be a bit ashamed of not knowing what a signature is, I have not any tech background but these are the bases about how our hobby works.
Hope your other hobby is not rocket-science, or you could have you burned hard soon.

Model trains and coin collecting are my other hobbies, so I guess I'm safe.
Thank you for trying to explain what it is, but as I have mentioned before that doesn't help if I don't know how to do it. It would be a lot more helpful if you just said something like "it's a way of sending coins without hitting the send button live, and you do it by klicking tab so and so and type that and that and then do this and then that, done. The technical mumbo jumbo does not do it for me, sorry but thanks for trying. As I said before, we just don't speak the same language.

try
bitcoin.org
the basics of everything


asking questions on a technical board will get you technical answers




But this isn't a technical board, it's a wall speculation board.


Ok So what does the wall speculation have to do with ...."What is signing, what's an online box and what exactly does broadcast mean in this case?"....

I give up





Nothing really, it's totally of topic, but that's what makes this thread so great, all the of topicness that lights up our visits here.

Besides, the guy who originally asked the question about moving coins from a paper wallet seemed more confused about all this than me, so I don't think this little tutorial session was in any way bad for him.

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.

You are signing every time you move your coins. Sorry for have been harsh, but your unwillingness and  proudness of not knowing how txs works got me mad. That's like claiming on a train forum that how trains works it doesn't matter untill they move, I suppose.

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.

You probably are right, this is a toxic environment.

Anyway, If you are storing btc as you said you are not safe. Just do like this:
-Download bitaddress.org on a safe machine (I.e. Linux booting disk) and run it offline
-print some addresses offline. Make multiple backup and store them safe
-use this addresses as safe (cold) storage. Keep only a few btc as "hot" storage on your phone app.
-all you need to do to import all the money is scan the qr code with your app. Once the key is scanned, this address will never be again "cold" (safe).
-don't let do anybody do it for you Smiley


If you follow the above steps, you should be safe. And that's a lot better than sorry in btc land.

Thanks.

I already have a bunch of paper wallets printed, but I'm not moving any coins to them until all the forking is done. Then Ill move my coins away from the Coinomi wallet and half into my paper walllets and the other half into another Coinomi wallet. I'll then get my keys from the old Coinomi wallet and claim my forks.

Until someone can actually tell my how my coins could get stolen from my Coinomi wallet in my turned of phone (that's actually stored in a metal bag in a metal safe) without my phone getting stolen I'll regard it as safe.

When you turn on your phone, it is exposed to os vulnerabilities. And if you don't update the os you are making your phone more and more vulnerable as time pass. And you don't need the metal box if you put on a good password.

https://androidvulnerabilities.org

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

Guys, i´m afraid i´m jinxing it. Sorry.

I admit, i don´t want bitcoin to go over 20000, because every time bitcoin rises remarkably, media (TV) awakes, and i see more and more countries wanting to ban exchanges and all that. We are a threat to their FIAT-system.
What do we do then ?

The other thing is: i´m not afraid to pay taxes, but how could i possibly explain the thousands of transactions, i made ? For example, i´m constantly lending (funding) some at Finex, thats thousands of transactions. Its not the money, that worries me, it´s the process to cash out.

It really is a nightmare, coming to your door soon !

And don´t tell me we´re here for the ideology, we´re here for the dosh, which still, at least for now, reigns the world.

If you are in Europe, you don't have to worry, you only pay tax when you exit to fiat. If you are in north America you can cash out in the Canadian ATM's.
I'm in it for both the ideology and the cash. If crypto for some reason crashes totally, I'll still mine my Bgold and bide my time. That would actually give the community time to develop a more mature environment with working P to P exchanges, good scaling capability, and everything else we need to be untouchable by governments.

In Germany you have to pay taxes as soon as you sell your coins and also have profits > 600€, it doesn't matter if you get fiat, another coin or bananas for it.
So it's not only exit to fiat.

Damned ... your where first Cheesy +1 ... in germany you pay tax for all things that looks like money or has any value. we as the tax masters of the world. 80% of the books about taxes are about the german tax system.

But one exception, if you hold your cryptos more than a year, you can sold it without pay any taxes. But if you sell this earlier, you have to pay with your own income tax rate. When you earn more than 66.000 Euro a year (in a job or from other things), you have to pay 48% on every cent you earn from selling cryptos.

Did't know that. I thought you guys had the same system we do.

You mean government reserves, rather than the population, I assume - since China probably as an entire country is probably a little more...

That would be 8,500 T for the US and 2,000 T pour China and Russia, not 8T and 2T.

As you are someone seriously into metals you gave me some sound advice back in 2015 when I was about to buy silver at $16.
You said to wait as it had a couple $ to go, I managed to buy at $14.30 not quite the bottom but near enough.
I am in EU now where buying silver attracts 20% VAT so I am about to buy some gold which is not taxed.
In your opinion is this month a good time to buy also is it better to buy in many smaller units or to go for the cheaper option of one or two large units.
Many thanks.

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.

“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.

“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”

It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

Børsen tells its website that Nordea will ban 31,000 of its employees with trading bitcoin.
According to Børsen, Nordea denies its employees to trade with bitcoin. According to the Danish newspaper, Nordea has announced this by an internal announcement on Monday.

Nordea's communications have been strengthened with Bloomberg's news agency. Afroditi Kellberg of Nordea says that the ban will come into effect on 28 February. After that, Nordea employees can not trade with bitcoin or other cryptographic currencies.

In December, Nordea Group CEO Casper von Koskull expressed his views on the bitstream of bitstream. He regards his unregulatedness as absurd.

- Considering that the financial system uses billions of financial regulation, I mean that it's actually a joke that we're going to give something like Bitcoin's, the CEO said to the Bloomberg news agency at that time.

During the weekend, Norwegian E24 reports that Nordea in Norway has banned thousands of employees from trading with bitcoin.

I don't believe there are more than 31,000 people living in Norway. Maybe Santa and his elves make up a lot of the population but still.

No, Santa lives in Rovaniemi in Finland. http://www.visitrovaniemi.fi

Given the translation, I don't understand the scope. Is the company forbidding trading on the company's dime? On the company's time? Or any trading -- even private, off-hours -- on the part of employees?

I want to know that too. If someone could post the original article in full (it's behind a paywall) I will read, translate, and give a TLDR.

Just going through all the shitfork coins to see if I can increase my BTC stash.
Looks like the majority of them can't be exchanged on any exchanges due to various reasons (non functioning wallets etc).
Does anyone have a list of which coins are actively trading and can be deposited at which exchange?
Would be much appreciated.

Yes please that’d be great. I don’t have an android phone so I haven’t been able to claim my bitcoin gold still through the Coinimi wallet.

I have to suggest that it is not a good idea to use a china no-brand android phone for anything crypto related. Most of those phones have customized firmware that is not subjected to as strong scrutinity as well-known brands/models.

I hear people say that all the time, "they have viruses", "they report to a Chinese database" and so on.
But no one ever explains how that is related to crypto, and I have never heard of one single example of someone loosing their money to a Chinese database through a built in virus or software.
Yes, they might track my position, so what? I'm only using free wifi from a local store. They might keep track of my contacts and apps, good luck, I have no contacts or apps on that phone, I don't even have a phone number on that phone. I have nothing but three cryptocurrency apps.
Stop being so scared of everything.

Be careful of cheap android phones from ebay and amazon. Some of them have viruses installed on them by the manufacturers themselves, or along the supply chain.

The last thing you want your smartphone doing is sending your text messages, contacts, and location history to a server in China. But according to mobile security firm Kryptowire, a particularly nasty brand of Android software did just that, transmitting text, data, call, location, and app data to a Chinese server every 72 hours.

Researchers began to raise red flags last fall, when it was discovered the the data mining tool in question — called Adups — had been living inside hundreds of millions of devices produced by more than 40 manufacturers

There are other viruses pre-installed in some android phones besides the one in that story.

So what?

Give me an example where that is relevant to cryptocurrencies.

Do you want to store private keys, and/or enter passwords on a compromised device which may have a keylogger etc?

I would, at the very least, want to make sure I could flash this device with LineageOS or something, though this would not mitagate every single OpSec issue...

Why not just get a Trezor for about twice the cost?

Can you download Coinomi, Bither and Bitpie and then claim your forks on a Trezor?

SatoshiLabs has to first add Trezor support for the new forked coins, as they have with past forks such as BCash and BitcoinGold. But once they have done that, you should be able to claim and send your forked coins anywhere you wish.

They have rules around what Bitcoin forks they will support though:

Thanks, but I have kind of an issue with companies telling me what forks I can and can not have.

You, sir, deserve what is coming to you.  Please stop making light of security, there are noobs that read this thread, you could do real harm to others, not just yourself.

A n00b buying a phone, not installing anything but the apps necessary to claim the forks (after of course first moving his bitcoins to a new wallet), using only free wifi to do so, and then immediately moving his coins to a new wallet or an exchange will be perfectly fine.

You still control your private keys.  Anything they do is a gift.  You can move your coins to another HD Wallet and then sweep the Bitcorn Blast off the old addresses just like you could with any other wallet.  Or import the old keys into your phone etc.

Don't bother, Arries understanding of the underlying technology is spotty at best.

A couple weeks ago he was claiming that he never signed his transactions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GxFbw57dVU

No I did not, I said I didn't understand signing. I know that it somehow takes place when you do a normal transaction, and that you somehow can do it ofline as well. I just don't understand how it works. I dare you to show me and everybody else the post where I stated that I never sign my transactions. Don't be an asshole.

EDIT: Maybe dare is the wrong word, challenge might be better? English is not my first language, sorry.

I would formulate it as

refrain from opining on matters you admit you don't understand and I will not be forced to confront you on it

You are not "confronting" you are outright lying. Show me the post where I said what you claim I said, or admit that you are a lier.

Furthermore, you never answer any questions, you just move the goalposts and give a slightly related "answer".

When asked to give an example of someone who's coins had been compromised by the Chinese firmware/viruses mentioned, you never answered, but instead started talking about a totally different type of malware ie keyloggers, something never mentioned in the article and never disputed by me.
When asked to show the post where I stated I never sign transactions you instead started talking about my right to air my opinion. You are dishonest in your debating and constantly trying to weasel your way out of a question you know you can't answer by giving an "answer" not related to the question or "answering" with a question.

Well, since I don't know what signing is, I never sign. ...

just don't give security advise, that is all I'm asking

That is taken out of context, I was talking about ofline signing. And I have never done any ofline signing. You claimed that I never sign, as in"he doesn't know he is signing when he makes a transaction".

With all the people signing up daily across the exchanges, how can this bull run not continue? They had 240,000 people sign up for Binance in 1 hour last week. The demand is there.

They are not necessarily buying BTC on those exchanges.
But I think we are about to see the end of this correction pretty soon.

The peak was higher than normal so it's just natural that the correction is deeper than normal for January.
Add to that the bitconnect people selling a huge amount of money and people being just out of money after christmas.
Now payday is coming and the BCC dumping should be over soon, that ought to put us on the rise again.

The futures I don't think has an effect on the price, low volume and cash settled.

Look Arrie, I don't want to be in a pissing match here, but you have repeatedly made light of keeping BTC on smartphones and I am sorry, but that is not good practice.

Phones are, by their very nature, insecure, and making posts on a venue such as this suggesting that exposing private keys on a phone is safe borders on being irresponsible.

The original question wasn't about keeping coins, it was about claiming forks, and the only way to claim all of the forks is, to the best of my knowledge,  to use a phone, and to use a phone you have to scan your private keys. I did't say that he should store them on the device.
I do however store some of my coins on a ofline phone, and I still believe that it is safe enough. And as you might recall, that phone is stored in a Faraday cage.

Random Anecdote: I know some people that work at a huge San Fran social media company, and every time their employees go to China on business, they are prohibited from bringing their office-issued Android devices - Are issued locked-down iPhones instead for travel purposes.

Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that the Chinese put all kinds of trackers on their phones, primarily to keep tabs on their own people, but of course also spilling over to us roundeyes when we purchase a phone from them.

I just don't think those trackers have any consequences for me when I sweep my keys. That's why I asked for examples, If I'm proved wrong I would have to reexamine my position.

OK, If I overstated your position I apologize for that, and yes, I was unnecessarily dickish in the post that lit all this off, sorry.

If you are only using a phone to sweep a few bucks worth of forks out of addresses ALREADY EMPTIED of BTC (and actually I would say BCH depending on the balance) I guess the convenience may be worth the risk.

As far as examples, absence of proof is not proof of absence, phones get hacked all the time.

Apology accepted. All good.
I don't get it, how can they move a mobile phone number? Where I live the number is locked to the sim card. If you want to move your number to another phone you would have to physically move the sim card to that phone. There is no other way.

In most of the world it's possible to transfer a phone number to a different sim card. There's a few scams that use the technique, and most people aren't aware of them

Gold Coast businesswoman Cynthia Dammerer discovered she had been targeted by criminals after her mobile phone mysteriously went out of service after 9pm one night.

While she initially thought her phone network was down, she later discovered the fraudsters had also broken into her email account and tried to change her password.

I called Telstra and they said I had moved my number over to Vodafone and I’d have to go into a store to sort it out,” she said. “I had no idea.”

Ms Dammerer said scammers had moved her phone number to an untraceable Vodafone prepaid account so it could be used to verify bank account transactions, and potentially create new accounts.

“They did it all online,” she said. “They didn’t even have to go into a shop.



Ok I checked here and you can move your phone number to another phone company, but they will send you a new sim card with the number. So no magic online stuff. Would that not be a good way to get rid of the scamming in the rest of the world.

So.. fuck them !

(I don't live their anymore, but you know, your born country will be always in your heart).

I disagree, at least in Scandinavia there is no war against crypto. Exchanges must follow KYC and all that, and you must pay capital gains tax, but thats normal for all asset trading.
Moving in and out of crypto is also easy, a lot easier than in the US. SEPA, or in Sweden, Swish, is a lot easier and cheaper than the wire transfer used in the US.
Small scale mining isn't even taxed in Sweden, it's considered a hobby with no taxable income.

The number is being rerouted to a new sim, I don't see how this protects you. Most countries have signed up to mobile number porting, and the switch will be done on a back-end database.

They will physically send you a new sim with your old number. So even if someone else somehow get hold of your digital bank ID and manages to move you to another phone company that company will send the new sim with your old number to you physically trough the royal Swedish mail, (or one of their private competitors).

The effect is similar, but it's different.

What they do is make a new SIM while forcing a fake operator transfer on you. I don't know how, that's why I faked the details.

Meh, I'm skeptical, how would they get my number on that new sim? The operators don't move numbers online/air over here.

Woman caught?  Probably get a paycheck.  What is the lesson from this?  Society considers only white males as adult humans responsible for their actions, considers women large children not liable for their actions, and blacks as wild animals that are just going to murder or rape everything they see.  Since society and the legal system agree, sounds like it's time to get all of those classifications signed into law.

Meanwhile in Sweden. https://youtu.be/jfzrsbcvMbg?t=47

Hey Roachiepoachie

Quote
Australia's biggest gold refiner, The Perth Mint, is developing its own blockchain-backed gold products as it looks to respond to the threat posed by the rise of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
While Perth Mint chief executive Richard Hayes dismissed the trading frenzy in bitcoin as a bubble that would invariably burst, he told The Australian the underlying blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies presented an opportunity for the mint to develop new gold products offering greater security and traceability.
Mr Hayes said the rise of bitcoin had contributed to the flow of money out of precious metals over the past year, exacerbating a broader collapse in demand for bullion coins that had hurt the mint's bottom line.

I recall that there are some folks researching into ways that they can either use the heat or generate some additional electricity from the mining heat by-product.

I have had some discussions with power station engineers.  The crux of it is that low grade heat (anything that is not hot enough to boil water) is considered a waste product and dumped to the atmosphere.  And these are fancy, high efficiency co-gen plants. 

 So it seems pretty unlikely that they will be able to generate electricity if not producing over 100 C (which I assume not).

My information is about 8 years old so it is possibly out of date.  

The new owner of the old KNC Miner rigs are selling the excess heat to neighboring industries.

If chicks follow the money they will all come to us crypto-nerds, disregarding grandpas and their cheap metals.

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.

No shill quotes please..

And even if you were not quoting that sociopath's rag..so what?  How is this good news?  Some local court ruling that bitcoin has value. Surprise..

I wonder what great significance this piece of news might have. Is there any need for a Korean court to rule bitcoin has economic value and can be confiscated, so the proceeds go to finance state budget?

The Feds confiscated and sold Ulbricht's Silk Road coin and happily auctioned them without all that fuss.

I don't get it, the guy posts a bullish news article at a time when there is very little good news surrounding bitcoin (mostly just FUD) and you shit all over him? Who gives a shit if it's on that website? I doubt roger himself wrote the article (hint: he didn't). What's the guy shilling, Korean news? Lol.

How many governments have officially come out and said that bitcoin is recognized as having actual, real world value - not banning crypto currencies, or saying crypto is only used by criminals, etc. - especially in one of the biggest crypto markets in the world?

Did you guys lackadaisically brush off when Japan made BTC a legal currency? Or when Overstock.com said they were going to accept BTC, were you guys like, "whoopdi fuckin' doo, we all know it's got value, congrats company for figuring out what we already know"? No, we were all happy it was being adopted by a well known company where we could buy real things with our bitcoin.

Totally agree with you. 1 sMerit sent

Is this going to be a good alternative to Tether?

https://cointelegraph.com/news/uks-royal-mint-launches-gold-backed-cryptocurrency
snipped
In the short term we need a safe haven from Crypto, having a gold backed currency would be better than a fiat backed currency.
Any backed currency requires a trusted party and having a permissioned block chain is irrelevant as you need to trust 100% the people who are storing the backing.

I think a gold backed currency from the UK Royal Mint is going to be more trust worthy than Tether.
I'm not suggesting this is as a replacement for Bitcoin or other Crypto currencys, but it is a mechanism for holding stable value loosely pegged to fiat.

Please, less of the 'we'.
I'm just against any of it, on principle.

Gold is an excellent store of value. I read somewhere that a cow in ancient Rome, medieval Europe and today cost the same in gold.
A gold pegged crypto listed on the exchanges would be perfect for parking money while chasing pumps in the alts market.

That's bullshit.

jojo gave you a good enough and logical answer that is pretty much a well known fact that includes that there is a lot of gold that is maniplated and difficult to get possession of millions of dollars of it, take the government of germany for example trying to get possession of gold held in the usa. 

You, Arriemoller, are engaged in trivial bullshit and distracting talk and attempting to give assignments to get caught in the weeds with bullshit about a supposed better status(that you assume) if an asset is backed rather than not backed. 

There is no fucking decent backing of any asset that is not manipulated, including gold.  Bitcoin happens to be a paradigm changing phenomenon because it is the first ever asset class that is backed by decentralized and trustless proof of work.  Sure, in the end, the bitcoin project might fail, but currently we have an asset that looks like it has real decent promise, and if any of the less than 1% of the world who currently HODL some bitcoin recognize the paradigm shifting contribution of bitcoin, they are likely to profit from such recognition by HODLing.  Sure there are going to be other folks who profit from HODLing bitcoin as well, even if they do not recognize the enormity of its paradigm shifting contribution as a new asset class.

So good luck with your attempt to find some asset class that is backed by something (such as gold) and is not manipulated to shit in a much more centralized way than bitcoin, which is currently king of decentralized proof of work backing value in practice.

Universal Sickness Care - and it ain't exactly FREE.  Big Pharma do not want you healthy.  Dental is not covered, along with a lot else.  And good luck getting to see a doctor or specialist without a massive wait.  That's why people here go elsewhere if they can afford it.  Be your own Bank.  Be your own Doctor.  NOBODY else has your best interests at heart.
Dental isnt covered unfortunately but if you take care of your teeth you will be good.  Needing serious medical coverage is a much more random and expensive event than dental.

I saw a doctor yesterday.  Walked right into one of the many "walk-in clinics" scattered everywhere and within 10 minutes I was seeing one, for free.

The specialist I saw twice in 2017 wont fucking leave me alone, keeps calling me for follow ups.

Dont believe any of the BS they feed you south of the border.  There is a reason the rest of the developed world has universal healthcare: it works.  It isnt perfect but for the vast majority of people its the best solution.  If a Canadian desires they can obtain private healthcare, one can even go to the US and 80-90% of it is covered by insurance.

Private healthcare will always be more expensive then public. Simple economics, If you have a serious illness your demand for healthcare is indefinite, and the supply is pretty much fixed, so the price will basically be what you can afford to pay. That is, as much as they can possibly get you to pay.

The pitch to new investors (where price appreciation to 25k is going to come from)

It's not too late to tell your parents to buy physical silver instead.



Ouch...

That happened in my old hometown (Malmö) the other day. She was groped by an immigrant in a nightclub called Babel and slapped the guy. Later when she was going home the guy waited for her outside and smashed a bottle in her face, bystanders intervened but the guy got away before the police arrived.
That's one of the reasons I moved to another town.


Malmö must be one big shitfest.

Sweden was just simply incredible naive with all that muslim immigrant stuff.

You are absolutely right, used to be a nice  town  though.

Think that way, you glorious holy christs came to their countrys, destroyed everything, killed their parents, grandparents, children, left nothing behind, no infrastructure, no stone on an other. You holy people thought you can get their oil and land just by bringing "democracy". But nothing on this planet is for free.

I don’t hold with the level of racism in this thread either.

A ban of Roach would be a good start.  His noodlings on physical silver don’t bring sufficient value to justify his other bullshit.  I don’t give a flip if he has has been here since day 1.

Who has mod powers on this thread now ?

Yes some of his racist crap offended me too and I'm not no bleeding heart liberal. But I believe in free speech,. quite passionately . Best way to counter is with some salient argument or just simply ignore. Besides he does make some interesting observations at times.

Free speech is fine, I'm strongly in favour with some limits - but the internet is full of forums for racists to vent their shite. It's not relevant to this thread, and should get modded (and yes I get the irony that this discussion isn't either).


If it's limited it's not free, you can't have it both ways.

Yes, but what planet will be named Trantor?

In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker’s Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper(and can be purchased with bitcoin); and second, it has the words "DON'T PANIC" inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

Yes, but what planet will be named Trantor?

*sigh* no. IQ tests are simply pattern recognition. There is nothing cultural about it. That tired old excuse is... tiresome.

And they do commit more crime. About four or five times as much per capita. Again, easy enough to look up for anyone who actually cares.

Socio-economic status is a far more reliable predictor of IQ test performance.  Low SES children consistently underperform

I have been experimenting with JJG (and jbreher)s chained order strategy on the BTC/ETH pair.

Perhaps I am being dense...but I am just not getting it.

It goes down, I am buying ETH every 0.001, ok fine, then it goes back up and I am selling ETH at the exact same prices...it looks like a total wash to me.

Did I miss something in the explanation?

I haven't tried it myself, but I thought you were supposed to sell higher than you bought.
If you buy at 30, 25, 20 and 15 on the way down I guess you are supposed to sell the 15 buy when it hits 20 on the way up and the 25 at 30 and so on.

That article is massively out of whack. Bill Gates appears twice, the sample is way too small and the hypothesis seems forced.
The average income has much more to do with who you surround yourself with than with your IQ.

And I doubt that most homeless people have such low IQs. But if that actually were the case (globally) then we'd have a strong indicator how to prevent homelessness (education).

Oh yea, and blacks are also racist. How you deal with that?

Any paper I can read about that? (the red part).
Education doesn't up your IQ more than very marginally. We need genetic engineering for that.
The Chinese are working on that right now.

...how I hated quoting that entire thing. Would also rather remain on-topic.

No paper to support my brain fart. But let's just say that rich people would agree. "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn.

I do believe education can improve your IQ. It's an arbitrary scale anyway and if extended exposure to complex subjects forces you to concentrate more you will also score higher on IQ tests. You can definitely train for that shit.
And the assumption that homeless people are less endowed mentally is about as shallow as judging someone by the color of their skin. And I refuse to believe Logan Paul has above average IQ.


[/quote]

Paul logan I have no opinion about.
You can train for an IQ test, but it has been tested and shown to only increase your performance marginally.
Saying that you get rich just by hanging with rich people, really needs some support other than a quote.

If you have done them before you will know it is just about rotating the objects. If you haven’t, then it will take you longer to test the hypothesis.  So practice and knowing how the test designers think will definitely make you faster because you can take shortcuts. Faster = higher IQ score.

I recently purchased a Pelikan Alexandria. It's my first Pelikan. I've got about 20 Parker fountain pens along with some Mont Blanc pens and some Cross fountain pens. Anyway, the Alexandria is also my first bottled ink pen. Heretofore, I've used ink cartridges in my pens. The Alexandria has not impressed me so far. Even though I purchased a fine replacement nib from Pelikan for it, it puts entirely too much ink on the paper even though I use a light touch when writing. In addition, I have to shake it to get the ink flow started every time I use it. In addition, I can't seem to get the pen to draw any ink into the chamber. I've been filling it myself with an eye dropper by removing the nib.

Don't spoil the fun by trying to use them.

So, I thought I would be on topic for once.
Here’s my speculation.

I predicted/guessed that we would end last year on about 10 000 USD. (And this year on 80 000).
We did end on about 20 000 USD, so was I wrong?
Well, yes, objectively, but if you factor out the enormous FOMO in the end that made us go superexponential and just continue the more relaxed exponential growth you would have ended up on about 10 000 USD.

If we had gone down to the 6000 territory in January from 10 000 instead of 20 000, the dip would have seemed as a totally normal December dip.

So in my view the enormous spike and the enormous dip that followed was an anomaly that should simply be ignored.
If we look at it as a dip from 10 000 instead, the recovery we are seeing now is quite normal and we will see 20 000 in a couple of months, followed by 40 000 three to four months after that and 80 000 by years end. Unless of course there is another end of year FOMO, in which case we might go to 120 000 or more followed by another super dip in January.

This year I will try to sell in December and by back in January.

Why would anybody give a rat's ass about regulation when decentralized exchanges are on the horizon? For the very first time in history regulators won't be able to dictate their rule upon citizens.
Decentralized exchanges need fiat on/offramps too, so they can be choked or leashed by regulation. That's the one issue that still makes me give a ratt's ass.
But wouldn't that be peer to peer also? Ie a private person sending money to another private person through Paypal or SEPA or Swish or whatever. Impossible for any bank or government to connect with a selling or buying of crypto.

This introspect navel watching is only confusing. Look at the longer term trends instead. It always goes up in December and always dips in January/Februari and then goes up until summer when it goes down a little and some sideways action, and then it goes up again in the fall/winter and spikes in December.
And so far it just follows this pattern, no reason to panic.

It's also quite sad that financial literacy isn't being taught in schools, not even electively. And it could be easily taught in playful ways that anybody could pick up on too.

Agreed. But along with basic financial literacy coursework, the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" should be required reading.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if people have some unconscious desire to be poor and mediocre. I just cannot fathom how somebody could wish to be more than they are without trying to work towards that goal with even the tiniest increments.

People think their careers will save them, that they will never end and their wages will always be increasing to take care of their current and future debts.

Until their career doesn't.

My personal favorite book on this subject is "The richest man in Babylon" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Richest_Man_in_Babylon_(book)

Family is what matters. I am the most important part of my family, and everyone is almost as important. Those brats fathered by someone else? Not family. The cheating whore who lied to me and tricked me into spending money and effort raising some bastard spawn? Negative fucking family. She deserves to suffer, and the other kids deserve their real father.

If you don't take care of yourself first (nobody else will) then you will not be of much use to the others for long.  Self first IS the long view.  Take responsibility for your own actions.  Set an example.
Would merit, but ran out. So QFT instead.

To turn his back on those children for something that was not the fault of those children, means he is a piece of shit.  

No, it's the woman who put her children in that position that is a piece of shit.

Thought experiment. On his way up the dusty trail to retrieve his silver stash, roach encounters ibian asleep. Afraid he might try to steal his silver on the way back down, roach considers poisoning ibian's whisky. And according to the logic of self-interest, he does. Later, ibian shoots roach and robs him. Then he drinks some whisky and dies.

Had roach and ibian cared more about the welfare of others and less about themselves, they would still be alive today.

A honest upstanding right winger would not even think of killing his fellow man. That's what leftists do. As they did in the Soviet Union, and still do in Cuba, Venezuela, China and north Korea.

To answer the earlier question, the biological father is a deadbeat in another country and irrelevant. The ex-wife takes reasonable care of the kids when they are in her custody and that’s all that really matters.  I don’t care for her other lifestyle choices but again irrelevant.  

My buddy now has a new wife. And she has taken on the stepchildren as her own as well. Even though none of them are hers.  So all of you making a fuss about the kids not being biologically yours, do you think the stepmom should kick these kids out of the house ?  Yeah I thought not.  
You didn't answer the question. However much of a scumbag the biological father is doesn't matter in this argument, which is about setting a dangerous precedent that poses a serious threat to society.

Your buddy also has no relevance to this argument. Whatever choices he freely makes is entirely up to him. Using his choices as a justification for legally forcing somebody to pay for children that are not his is ridiculous.

Cmon dude. Taking care of children is a serious threat to society? On a forum where most of us have earned more than the US average annual wage in the past week?  You are better than this.


Maybe worry about the alt-right muppets who go shoot up a school every second week. 
It's lefties who go on shooting rampages. You are officially not even worth reading anymore.

The latest school shooter was a white supremacist. Like yourself. Own it.


Actually he wasn't, that turned out to be fake news by the leftist media. Besides, he's hispanic.

What does the term “Women and children first [into the lifeboats]” mean to you? Because that’s what a real man does.

The problem with the alt-right is they have no chivalry and no honour. Roaches indeed.

I agree with the woman and children first. Save your offspring and their caretaker in order to live on through them

I don't know anything about the alt-right, but ordinary right sure does have honour and chivalry.

I have been doing some chart reading to see if my hunch was right.
And I have spotted some patterns.
I will not post any charts because I have no photoshop on my new computer yet.

There is always a dip in September-ish, this dip is always followed by a big rise that ends in late January/end of year.
There is always a big dip in December that lasts till mid/end of February when a slow rise starts.
And there seems to be mostly sideways or slow upwards action during spring/early summer followed by a slight bubble that ends with the aforementioned September dip.
This macro pattern can be spotted in the charts of the last three years.

my conclusion based on this pattern is that we are now out of the woods and will see a steady rise the coming months.

It's weird how he got derailed and started preaching the gospel of Bcash. He's otherwise a smart guy who did a lot of good defending privacy in general and digital/internet privacy in particular in the European parliament.

lol, you came here - went to the pages of wo posts and this triggered you to defend him? he said, when it comes to kids: "No. I come first. Then my kids - (...).
based on only this i stated that i doubt he has kids. because if he had kids, he most probably wouldn't write such egoistic, selfish, self-serving crab. that is not ad hominem. it is an assumption, based on what he wrote. then I stated that if he really had kids - and still believes he is more important than his kids - then I would feel sorry for them. how is it ad hominem to feel bad for kids who have a selfish, egoistic dad, that he himself proclaimed to be?
to become a parent is the most overwhelming thing that can happen to you. it is fulfilling your biological/genetic reason to be on this planet. it usually completely blows away selfishness in any possible way. life has a meaning when you have kids.
if your meaning in life is "no. I come first" then I feel ultimately sorry for you (not ad hominem) and i would conclude that you are a complete ugly stinking fucking arsehole with a character that should not aim for reproduction (maximum ad hominem  Cheesy)

I seriously doubt you have kids. and if so, I feel really sorry for them.

That's the ad hominem.

I think you are misunderstanding him, If the parent for some reason goes under the kid will too, that's why it's important to put the parent first. The same reason why you are ordered to put your own oxygen mask on first, and then put your kids mask on. Parent first IS putting your childs wellbeing first.

You do realize who this is? Other than 'CEO of Bitcoin Cash' - a title obviously created just to tweak idiots. Some semblance of his past accomplishments maybe?

 Well, it seems like he created a Wikipedia page for himself which could be considered an accomplishment.

 

 ...but it's rather self-serving.

  One thing I would like to know is if people have stopped calling him dick since he changed his name.  Based on the first few seconds of that video, his Wiki page and his BCash CEO letter,  ten bucks that says they did not.

How do you know I don't have any RPGs?

You are welcome to bring your pig tank around and test that theory.

And RPG:s are used against armoured ground vehicles.
If you try yo shoot a helicopter the flame from the back of the weapon will recoil and kill you.
Anyone in the area behind the weapon will also be killed , thats why the loader (or the shooter, depends on the RPG, my experience is with the Swedish ones) always have to check behind the weapon and give a clear signal to the shooter before firing.

The 2nd amendment rights are too popular. Especially in the rural states. There is absolutely no way that you will be able to get 2/3 of congress to first push it forward and then 3/4th of the states to ratify it. (There is an alternate route of getting 2/3 of the states to push it forward and then get 3/4 of the states to ratify it. I don't see that happening either.)
The only amendment that was ever repealed was Prohibition.

A question, is there any legal way to change the actual constitution? (not the amendments).

A well regulated milita does not require full auto weapons.
Who the fuck is arguing for full auto weapons in the civilian population ?! No sane person I know. That's who.
The Gun Owners Of America for starters.  Or are there no sane people in the GOA?
https://gunowners.org/goa-on-bump-stocks.htm
Unless you are going to tell me that an AR15 with a bump stock is not the equivalent of an auto?  Stephen Paddock was doing 9 rounds per second with a perfectly legal weapon.  That’s a full auto as far I am concerned.  He had to keep rotating rifles due to heat sink but the point remains.

Not familiar with The GOA.

I disagree with their stance on bump-stocks, and their article entirely. To your point, I would admit they do seem to have a few loose screws.

But a militia is a military unit, and they would be up against regular military units with full auto or burst settings. It would be a disadvantage for the militia not to have the same. Full auto is sometimes used in combat situations to suppress the enemy.

Agreed. No civilian gun owner I know wants or cares about full auto. In fact it is a liability.

Another thing, if that mentally unstable kid had gone into the Parkland school with a handgun instead of an AR-15, the outcome would have been exactly the same. The rifle did him no favors. He would have been shooting from the exact same near point-blank distances, and with a hand gun would have killed just as many former classmates if not more.

But of course, the AR-15 rifle now gets all the blame and calls for ban. I guess if he had gone in with a samurai sword instead they would be wanting to ban those? Or how about a knife?

Or what if he had just mowed down his former classmates with a truck out in the school parking lot? I guess we should ban trucks now?

Whatever we do, let's DON'T address teenage mental health as the real culprit. No no.

Death toll at the Florida school shooting was 17.  

There is no equivalent to school shootings in any other civilised country that bans guns, including countries where trucks are legal. This is an entirely and uniquely American problem.

I only know of one school lockdown in my home city. It happened when a large snake crawled out of the HVAC system.

Edit:  Torque I would say 59 dead and 500+ wounded is pretty effective.  That’s almost 9/11 level shit and it only took one angry old guy to do it.

I don't know what you mean by " civilised country that bans guns", but for instance Finland have had at least three school shootings.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_school_shooting

Thought experiment. Two tribes, the northern herders and the southern herders. The northern herders, the collectivists, agree to live according to the common good, such that no man would starve in time of plenty. The southern herders, the individualists, agree to live according to individual rights. A man may go hungry in the south, but all community action is voluntary on principle. Is there any sensible way in which one tribe can be called more moral than the other? Is there some metamorality by which we can make sense of this?

Isn't that more fairness than moral. There is two "types" of fairness with fancy names that I don't remember right now.

Examples:
Mother asks children A and B to mow the lawn. A can't be bothered, he plays video games instead, B mows the lawn. At tea time only child B gets a piece of the pudding, A gets mad and says "that's not fair" mother replies that B mowed the lawn so it's only fair that he gets pudding and A do not.

Mother asks children A and B to mow the lawn. A can't be bothered, he plays video games instead, B mows the lawn. At tea time both children get's an equal piece of the pudding, B gets mad and says "that's not fair, I mowed the lawn", mother replies that it's unfair not to give both her children the same amount of pudding.

Both are valid examples of fairness, the right tend to lean towards the first example and the left towards the second.

The problem is adjudicating between different tribal moralities. Cooperation evolved like morality evolved, to solve in-group problems. There doesn't seem to be anything analogous in dealing with out-group problems. America is torn between northern herders and southern herders. What do?

That's the problem that the nation states solved in the 1800s
The nation became the new tribe to witch all belonged.
Now that the left is disassembling the nation states tribalism returns. Woman against men, different ethnicities against each other, different religions against each other, and so on.

As a hard left socialist, Child B is not getting any cake.

As a hard left socialist you would take the cake, set up a state agency who's job it is to split the cake fairly, give one piece of the cake to that agency, give some to the party, waste some in the process and then give back a tiny amount to the children after they have applied for a piece at said agency.

I see the Republicans are trying to start a trade war with Europe.  I guess the right doesn’t believe in free trade anymore.  Free trade has always been more of a socialist thing.

They might shoot themselves in the foot there. Some Swedish companies with plants in the US that uses steel think that the steel price in the US will go up if the higher import duties for steel are imposed. In that case they are considering closing  the plants because they will no longer be profitable.

But our prime minister is on his way over with a trade delegation to explain basic economics to him.

Well, if the rules are clear beforehand, and A knows that he won't get money for medicines even if that means dieing, then he has to die for not mowning the lawn (it is HIS decision). There can be some exceptions as if he is disabled and therefore can't do it or is incapable of understanding the rules due to some mental issues. Acting otherwise would be completely unfair.

Whatever way you lean, as I said it's just to exemplify, not to discuss the actions of the participants in the example.

Yes and yes.  An amendment can delete part of the Constitution in an additive way. For example, a Constitutional amendment could be added that repeals the federal Senate and all clauses of the Constitution in relation to the Senate. From that day forward, the Senate would be deleted.

Technically you are adding another layer, but new layers can change old layers.  The most extreme example would be a Constitutional amendment that repeals the Constitution itself, at which point the whole thing disappears in a puff of smoke.

But wouldn't those amendments be unconstitutional and be repealed by the supreme court?

But what if we change the parameters a bit. Let us say that child A is actually the child of the mother and child B is just a stepchild. Child A always gets to play video games and enjoy cake and child B has to work to get some gruel once in a while. Is that fair? There is such a thing as the idle rich. The only thing they have going for them is a birthright. The historical figure Marie Antoinette comes to mind. Cheesy

Due to there is a big drop in Bitcoin within this period. So  I think the main reason for this crisis is that the capitalists ( who have a huge amount of Bitcoin) has sold a large proportion of their money, in order to decrease the value of BTC and the other currencies.
And their goal is to buy  again Bitcoin and some currencies ( like, Ripple, Ethereum..)  also they want to improve their profit rate in a long term .

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still bouncing along in the $9k range I see... currently $9200USD/$11783CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.

How long did the withdrawal symptoms last, and how bad were they?

I was pretty angry and irritable for a solid 6-8 weeks before I started chilling out.

I guess I'm lucky. I quit a 2-pack-a-day habit 33 years ago almost by accident.

I caught such a nasty cold/flu/pneumonia I was in bed for 3 days barely getting up to re-hydrate myself and go to the can.

When my fever broke and my mind cleared, I realized I hadn't had a smoke in 3 days. I didn't need to quit. I just needed to not start smoking again.

Quitting is not an action. Smoking is. All you need to do to quit is to not do anything. To smoke you need to acquire tobacco and fire, light the cigarette and inhale. Unless you're actively smoking, you've already quit. Just don't start again.

I suffered no withdrawal symptoms. Maybe I had them when I was in my feverish delirium and wasn't aware of them.

I also didn't suck out like a whiny little crybaby and totally avoid tobacco smoke. I continued to mix a little tobacco in the occasional hash doob. I chose to sit in the smoking sections of smoking-segregated restaurants and in the smoking cars of trains.

I found that non-smoking sections were full of anti-smoking fussbudgets and I find secondhand stress far more offensive than secondhand smoke. The smoking sections generally have a higher caliber of people. I also found that people take their annoying brats to the non-smoking areas.

Quitting is easy. Just don't smoke.

That's, exactly how I quit too, And I too find the people in the smoking section when it existed to be more interesting, however, for a long time I couldn't stand the smell of cigarette smoke. I was ok with pipe and cigar smoke though.
Today I enjoy the occasional fine cigar without any problems or craving for more tobacco products.

I think you'd have to get citizenship then. Foreigners aren't allowed to do as they please with weapons.


You don't need to be a citizen, just have residence, ie a drivers licence.

Don't have to be a citizen, but have to be either a permanent resident (green card), have a hunting license valid in the residing state or be a foreign law enforcement rep of a friendly gov plus some unclear rules on visa waiver (maybe OK if you are from EU, Japan or Australia). Sweden qualifies with the waiver.

What actually happened was, I went in to the gun store and asked what was needed to buy a gun, the guy said I needed to be a Colorado resident, I asked how to prove that and he then said that a Colorado drivers license would qualify as proof.
I then said, "great I have that, I'll take the Browning Hi Power with adjustable sight please", and he said "that will be 500 dollars and you need to fill out this form". I filled out the form where I promised that I was not a criminal and not mentally ill, and my race, and some other stuff. and some weeks later I came back and collected the gun (it had to be ordered).

 Sad

So. I was going to sell some of my stash this summer to pay of all my loans and then retire and live of my passive income that I have from my disability pension, some insurances that pays out monthly and some other stuff. That would give me a nice middle class life with no worries. And as a nice topping on the cake I would get to see the face of my employer when I tell him I quit. I'm one of only two guys who knows how to do that special job right now and he would be in a state of slight panic. He is also a real asshole, which is why that would have given me much rejoice.

But to my great disappointment he went belly up a month ago, so I have been without a job for a month now, and have to sell right now instead of in the summer. Bad timing but nothing I can do about it.
I just sold one fourth of my stash and when the money hits my bank account tomorrow I will immediately pay of all debts and bills. and then I will take a tour of nostalgia to places in my life, an actual tour through the city that is.
I will stop and reminisce on the places I have lived and the places I have worked and other significant places from my life, and then I will just go somewhere and have a cup of coffee and enjoy total freedom from work and debt.
I am now officially retired at 57 and it feels great.

If things always went exactly as planned life would get boring quite quickly, wouldn't it? Enjoy your retirement and don't sit around yelling at clouds too much. Retirement should only be from "forced" things, such as hustling to pay the bills in my opinion.

I agree, and thank you.

Normally, it would be a bit scary to sell 1/4 of the stash too early.

But at 57, it's a different story. Good luck, you did the right thing!

Thanks!

If you want to complain about London, complain about Brexit.  Now there’s a fuck up of mass proportions.  All the work is going to Dublin and Frankfurt.

I didn't think London was a part of Britain? Thought they had their own little exclave down there? Tongue



You seriously didn't think the capital of England was part of Britain?

I think he means culturally.

There's London, then there are the Brexit supporters.

Or maybe he means  City of London, I have seen some conspiracy sites claim that it's not a part of Britain (it is). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

Good morning everyone.

Jumping well above $7.8k and bull rushing past $8k...we have entered another Fibonacci area where resistance is meeting support.  Market sentiment is still on the rise and is the highest it has been all year.


Market sentiment is now bullish.

Still, its better to be careful, in case we have some massive bulltrap.

Lets see in the next 24 hours.

Don't afford more than you can afford to looose.

ahaha! back! waiting for your next disappearance Smiley so what was your record in fooling ?

Surely there are other forums where you can shout at each other about Russia?
What's your point?

probably referring to some rather long winded tldr previous post about Russians or some such thing.... idk ...tldr

no his point is simple, take some Vaseline, and enjoy your russian ass rape! that's it... total submission... to make a few temporary bucks, until the russians take everything you owned... btw still using telegram for crypto pumps? I always taught that it was fully backdoored by the russians, I still believe so, it's just a ruse...

and that the internationalists, russians collaborators are great people, they take great care of the planet or anything they touch.

they can't do wrong. this what I find the most pathetic with the westerners who have been mind conquered by russia. Putin can do no wrong, of course all opposition is silenced. and those low iq fell for it and worst are too stupid to realize it. And too weak to admit they have been played like muppets.

anyway, russians models are like most altcoins... they look promising young... and then... hehehe.



btw the pro putin should thread careful... if they are soo low iq to fall in the putin/soviet/globalists trap... better hodl... the rest... hehehe.

ps i hope this little meme make the post more readeable to the employees of putin... (at least most ukrainian hate you, most belarussian, most sunnis, most isrealis) I am sure you will enjoy later the generous fruits of this hate...
That's all women. All women hit the wall. Most of them hard.
Have you been to Asia?
Yes? Came back from another visit to thailand just yesterday. Been to the flips too. What about it?

 Pics or it didn't' happen!


I second that... don't forget to use pics meta data scrappers... opsec:).


That's all women. All women hit the wall. Most of them hard.

I see, speaking about people maturing before dying is more interesting than the suffering of entire people under the boots of putin...

marx is right for most muppets, too dumb to realize what the rope just sold is for...

 Sad

and worst this tendency by the western ruling class to over plan... resulting in planning paralysis... what the fuck ask gary cohn !!! ACTION, mitigation on the fly. VISA BAN /ON !

Man i had to log in just to put you on ignore. The idiot gauge is just pegging with you

maybe it's you who is wrong, who knows... will see... what is your gig? what is your problem?

I thought it would be obvious, but I can repeat it for you: Surely there are other forums where you can shout at each other about Russia?

I only shout about Russia if I'm paid for it and Russia pays better anyway.

And I think they have a better system of promotion. where dumb drunk sex addicts are kicked out for their weakness, and where those motivated, even if they didn't have the best papers can raise quickly...

btw what is the best university in russia? I mean they send people to space... they can't be that worst than MIT Smiley. But I guess in MIT if you disagree with CO2 GW bullshit you are a terrorist, an ignorant, a subhuman that must be purged from the ranks. you find disgusting two men kissing before your eyes? again OUT !!!!  Ohh you are a girl, you don't like to share your toilets with  this bear? of course, you are a terrorist out !!!! ooohhh a criminal, you believe in God? ooouuuuttttttt !!!!

then don't bitch if certain companies don't give a fuck about your diversity shit quota bs. the best available only. who the fuck care if they are pink have 4 legs and look like arachnid?

Have you been to Asia?
Yes? Came back from another visit to thailand just yesterday. Been to the flips too. What about it?
There just is no continuous aging process when it comes to Asian women (at least the good looking ones). They eventually flip to "old" mode once they turn I don't know, 80 or something.

most western girls fry themselves rotating behind the trash of night clubs being drunk like retard soviet sailors before they are 14 and have seen more dicks by 18 than those russian sailors have seen ports. Of course with all their debauchery they believe that by 30 they will be able to compete with the best men, who are almost dying after 4 or 5 generations doing what they love... and then, they still want to have families while keeping their high paying jobs? I mean what the fuck, you give it all for the company, then don't whine, no one forced you. And no favors because you fucking have children or what not 24/7 if necessary. go to hell with your socialism.

Russian men are the weakest,  most addicted men on earth. The hole country is a joke.

When a female friend of mine who is half Swede and half Thai celebrated here 30 birthday here mom and dad was there too. The birthday girl looked 30, her dad who is Swedish, also looked his age, but her mom looked like 25, I was amazed. And I have later noticed that some Asians seem to age very slowly up until quite a high age, at witch time they seem to age very rapidly and catches up with us Europeans.

Hey! Trusov Ilya Igorevych! Scammer! Knock it off!

I just received a reset password email from the forum. 'Odd', thought I, 'I did not request to change my password'.

It came from 146.185.201.117. 'Hmmm. I've not used that outgoing IP in the past.'



Who is this Trusov character?

https://www.google.com/search?q=Trusov+Ilya+Igorevych

An unsavory character indeed. Bitcoin Scammer. Hit #2:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1394054.0

Changed my pw for good measure. No, not through the link in the email.

What a maroon.

I got that email too a week ago or so, didn't fall for it of course, but I did believe that it came from bitcointalk since the sender was , well, bitcointalk. Since I didn't ask for a reset it was obviously a scam anyway.

I am pretty sure you can game the tax systems by “earning” all your income while offshore or in a tax free jurisdiction  and not staying in any particular Western country for more than 179 days [does not work for US citizens]

So fly to Dubai to cash out your BTC and then go skiing for a couple of months, rinse repeat. 
The problem that I have is specifically with owning property in that kind of situation. I don't want to go from hotel to hotel or Airbnb to Airbnb for the travel part. But if I could just own two houses and have each of them set up as a fully functional base then I would be perfectly happy to just fly over from one to the other every 6 months. Just haven't found anything specific regarding this edge case yet.

I think in Thailand you have to be a citizen to buy...you can lease, which is what most foreigners do. Actually most marry a local and the wife buys the property.
The citizen part was what I was worried about. Seems to be that case everywhere. I know that foreigners can buy property in Japan, but it seems like that is only for commercial purposes (such as renting out). Suppose using family could work though (in case there are no decent countries that allow non-citizens to own property for private use).

Sweden doesn't care about your citizenship, anyone can own property, even people without citizenship. You would have to pay real estate tax, but that tax had a cap of 914 USD last year. And in many cases you pay less, it's adjusted for inflation yearly. And everybody speaks english.

Yup, 6 months here 6 there is pretty ideal. I've been doing perpetual summer for the better part of 20 years and its worked out very well.
Depending on the country, ownership of land or house can get tricky, especially in SE Asia it has a particular set of headaches. I prefer to rent/lease long term in Asia which also gives me the option to pick up and go much easier if needed and own in the countries which I have citizenship.    

Just looked out the window.
I envy your lifestyle.

Haha I see that your neck of the woods is ankle deep in shit.  Disgusting, really.  I was depressed by the 12C and fog here, but now I'm laughing a little.  thanks  Cheesy

It’s a desolate, godless moonscape, totally uninhabitable. If we had dancing girls they’d be eaten by street-wolves.

Come to Thailand. It won´t be worse than this. If you avoid the girls, you´re home free !
And for half the money !
And you can drive around on a Moped, the whole year. That´s what i´m doing.
I´m blessed. No Joke !

Guys, i really can´t see, why you should end your life in such negative places, pack your things, even your family, and move !









I have three cats, so I'm stuck here. Moving pets around the world is too complicated.

I can´t see, why moving three cats, once it´s done, could hinder me.



If you move a cat or dog into Sweden it has to be quarantined for 120 days followed by two months of isolation in the home. There are some bad deceases, among them rabies, that we don't have in Sweden, hence the strict regulations.
And I'm sure other countries have similar laws, that makes it near impossible to move between countries with pets.

Sweden doesn't care about your citizenship, anyone can own property, even people without citizenship. You would have to pay real estate tax, but that tax had a cap of 914 USD last year. And in many cases you pay less, it's adjusted for inflation yearly. And everybody speaks english.
It's also Sweden.

Also being overrun by muslim immigrants that are increasingly incompatible with civilized societies, but the Swedes are so cucked, they're bending over and taking it, while saying "Thank you. Can I have another ?"

I can't believe what's happening over there in Europe.

It's terrifying to me.

How's tax day coming along fellow Americans?

Much poorer Undecided Filed and paid online. Already had both the FY17 and Q1FY18 payments sucked out of my accounts by the IRS this morning.

Sadface.

One more year of "painful" tax returns with all the BTC selling I've done for retirement purposes this year, but have no concerns with meeting those obligations - especially with making a small estimated payment for Q1FY18.

Pay your estimated quarterly tax, folks. It saves you a lot of butthurt when you file at the end of the year.

You shouldn't believe everything you read Bob.

And if you complain about migrants on facebook or twitter, you go to jail. At least in germany and england, same pattern everywhere, just a matter of degrees.

Slight exaggeration. If true, the 51.9% of UK population who voted for Brexit primarily due to immigration concerns would be in jail.  You can complain about migrants, it's racism which is illegal and rightly so.

In other news....it's a sea of green in cryptoland  Grin

The problem is the word 'racism' has been changing definitions at least colloquially.

Where it used to mean the belief that one race is superior to another, it now includes people making racial stereotypes.

Plus why on earth should racism be illegal?  A belief should not be illegal.  Acts should be.

OK, let's try and make this a little bit clearer. Racism is not illegal in Europe, saying racist stuff is not illegal in Europe, but spreading racist stuff to a wider audience is. So it's not the idea that's outlawed, it's the spreading of the idea. Is this wrong? Hell yes, all ideas must be allowed to be spread if you want to call yourself a democratic country.

Arrie that’s just bullshit.  Off the top of my head, there are all sorts of limits on the free spread of ideas:

*employee confidentiality agreements

*official secrets acts

*intellectual property law

*export controls on dual use software

*prohibited pornographic material

*conspiracy to commit terrorist acts

*prohitions on making bomb threats

*prohibtions on making death threats to public officials

You cannot say that you don’t live in a democratic society just becaus you have one or more of the above limitations on free speech. Inciting racial hatred is just another category of speech subject to limitations.  


With the possible exception of pornography your examples are not examples of what is traditionally seen as infringements of free speech.

Furthermore, the law is very vague and is used to try to stop political opponents from airing their opinion.

Said by Justice Neil Gorsuch in Sessions v. Dimaya.
"Vague laws invite arbitrary power. Before the (American) Revolu­tion, the crime of treason in English law was so capa­ ciously construed that the mere expression of disfavored opinions could invite transportation or death."
The same applies to anti racism laws in Europe today. (Well, not death or transportation (yet))

Global warming? Global warming!

Did you know that spiders don't breathe? They don't have lungs. Instead oxygen simply seeps into holes in their bodies. And as we all know, the atmosphere was denser in older times - denser atmosphere, more co2, more oxygen, bigger bugs. Also dinosaurs. There were dragonflies so big they could have eaten humans, if we had existed back then.

co2 is not a pollutant. On the contrary, it is plant food. Plants take in co2 from the atmosphere and excrete o2, oxygen, the thing we need to live. You may have heard of it. It is the very foundation of the entire food chain.

More co2 means more plants means more oxygen means more animals means more life. It is a Good Thing. In addition, warmer weather is better than colder weather. More people freeze to death than die from heat. So go on, burn some oil. Do your part to improve the world.

Only in small insects, the bigger ones must use a pumping motion to vent the air.

From swedish wikipedia (I know you can read this).

"Hos större insekter ventileras de yttre delarna av trakésystemet med hjälp av pumpande rörelser med kroppen, men i de inre delarna transporteras syrgasen också hos dem med diffusion."

The Australians make it illegal not to vote. You get fined if you don’t show.  

They also vote on the weekend and employers are fined if they don’t allow employees a break to go vote.

Needless to say voter turnout is always above 90%.

I’m buying the road in front of your house and the back alley. You have to pay me $100k per year in a license fee to leave your driveway.   If you can’t afford it, I will buy your house from you for $1.  If you step onto my road without paying my license fee, I will shoot you for trespassing on my land.

Since my land is parallel to your road, I'll build a better road and put you out of business.

If I got it right you can move your funds between crypto and fiat within the app, which makes theter unnecessary.
I'm not a trader, but there is one sure thing in bitcoin land, and that is that bitcoin goes up in December and down in January. So I'm going to move my play stash to SEK on the coming December top and move it back to BTC on the January dip, just to try it out.

Thanks for answering. C'on people don't be shy and express your feelings about it.

10 years is too soon.  $1 million in 12 years - after 3 halvenings.  

We have the the network effect which leads to s-curve adoption AND a perfect inelastic supply, which in itself gives a very rapid price rise when demand increases.
These two factors together leads to a never before seen price increase.

based on s curve and wave adoptions mathematically the next wave is

2013 $100
2014 $1000
2017 $10000
2018 $100000
2021 $1000000
2022 $10000000

I imagine anywhere from now and onwards BTC could simply be replaced or saturated with other markets

resulting in a cap somehwere

The relevance is, if someone wants to use crypto they are not forced to use bitcoin, and altcoins absorb market cap that bitcoin could have had, lowering bitcoin's price in the long run and also removing arguments about scarcity because crypto is anything but scarce now.

That's like saying that the price of a Rolex will tank if there are too many other watch brands on the market.
The price of a Rolex has nothing to do with the price or volume of a Timex.

Rolex watches bitcoins are collectors items (not utility) and timex watches shitcoins are used for telling time nothing really. Rolex bitcoin and timex shitcoins are not in any competition or similarity at all. The total market cap of all rolex watches bitcoin is less than $1B a figure I don't know and money supply is not a limiting factor. Rolex bitcoin and timex shitcoins are not competing to be the entire money supply. This analogy makes no total sense.

Exactly.  Just because 98% of the worlds scientific community agrees on it doesn’t make it true.  Science is just made up numbers. They even admit to having imaginary numbers, which just proves they are making it up.  It’s time to fight back. We can start with that Galileo guy. 

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.

I first came in contact with bitcoin in 2011 on a blog called "Cornucopia". He totally dismissed the whole idea, and I foolishly trusted him. The next time I heard of bitcoin was in 2013 on the same blog, and then I kind of went "wait a minute, I thought that thing died back in 2011". So now I started to actually look into it and form my own opinion, after about a week of intense studies on the Internet I came to the conclusion that this is going to be  big, so I downloaded the qt wallet and did my first buy, it was followed by many more in 2013 and 2014. Since 2104 I have basically been hodling except for some minor buys. Buying and selling has been easy from the start using BTCX.se They aren't cheap but I'm willing to pay for a smooth and hassle free transaction.

And I ask again, what's the deal with the hats?

EDIT: I did sell some in February to pay of debts and retire.

gonna make some t-shirts as well .... little personal BTC related gear and not the already usual shit with BTC logo that everybody got....

this kind of +points of my personal crypto sphere are good to fight my personal bitterness of the current DIP's and keeping my mind on the end goal

mass useage of BTC and green everywhere Grin

The only way that you could actually do all of this stuff that you proclaim is to have a micgoosen marketing team, so maybe you should discontinue acting as if you are merely one person and what you do and say are from just one person (implying a real person).   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes    Tongue Tongue
haha LoL nice you say that cause i'm ALL alone
and took 15minutes so not so much of time .... i would like a micg team Roll Eyes
but got all the possible minds and back up in THE WO Wink

WHAT of a team would XhomerX be working with Smiley

I was making my new tentative conclusion about you... not XhomerX.

Currently in my thinking, XhomerX has very decent odds of being a real and regular kind of peep, and I recall that about less than a year ago, he became more creative with his memes, and recently moved on to hats. 

Surely, anyone in these here forums might not be a real peep, so I cannot say anything with certainty... but my tentative conclusion about you has become.. micpeep is not the one real peep that s/he/it portrays himself/herself/itself to be.   Cheesy Cheesy   Tongue

If you think that... it's because you don't have any idea how bad micgoosen's OPSEC is. Even worse than jbreher. Seriously.

That's what the team of micpeep wants you to think... Good luck with those kinds of presumptions regarding micpeep being an actual real peep, in any kind of close approximation of what s/he/it presents.   Roll Eyes
F*** like 10 pages further..... the night team probably was a sleep ......

Just bought a little, first time in many years. I feel like when I was new to this and did my first buy.

This is going down more, but at this price no one can mine with profit, so with all rigs turned of supply stops, and provided that demand continues to rise slowly like it has done in the past, the price will slowly recover, just like it did the last time this happened. And it will end with a positive spiral that will peak at an insane price and then turn in to a negative spiral and once again crash the price. And then we repeat.

Going by that comparison, another year until we get above 4000 again, with a bit more downside first.



Yeah, something like that, maybe a little more. That's what I'm counting on at the moment. I see this as a repeat of the 2014-2017 cycle.

Maybe that plague was small pocks and the survivors had that gene mutation.
Just a thought.
The Chinese have a program for identifying the genes that gives you high IQ, I bet you that there already are babies in china with altered IQ genes.
But this will also open up for cosmetic gene surgery. The most sold beauty product in black Africa and the Indian subcontinent is skin bleaching creams, I bet that we will see babies on these continents with genetically altered skin tone really soon, and that's just the beginning.

The average height for males used to be around160 cm, if you look at the new teenagers the average is now 10cm taller than that. Lots of cancer though which makes it looks like it's just black market HGH given by the parents.

I wonder what China will look like when I get old. Lots of white tall highly intelligent HIV free chicks?

Would like to know what the price is if you connect from USA, anyone?

US$49.99

With VAT and shipping included? Fuck, everyone is always stealing us in the exchange rate Sad

They don't have VAT, hence the lower price (I guess).

The bottom is not in.

This isn’t about price, it’s about time.  We haven’t had enough time to digest the last bull market. 

We will hit absolute bottom between here and mid-2019.  I can’t give you a price target because it’s not about price. 

I agree totally.

I would also like to point out that bitcoin has never experienced a recession, so we have no idea how that will affect the price. And a recession is coming before or during 2020 according to all expertise.

Bitcoin was created as a reaction to the latest recession, but have always worked in a continuous uptrend.
A recession might make bitcoin a place to run to when stocks and shares go down, in that case price will go up. Or bitcoin might be what you sell to make ends meet when your stock and shares are down, in which case the price will go down.

we simply do not know how bitcoin works in a recession, it might not reach any new ATH until the recession is over.

I agree we don't know how it will work exactly, but my hunch is a recession will drag it down since it is seen as an "extremely high risk" investment. This is the category of investment most likely to tank first in a stock market crash. For the longest time there was no correlation between BTC and stock market movement but that began to change last year when Wall Street started moving in.

Bitcoin only has the potential to be a safe haven investment compared to the dollar if in response to a new crash the feds begin a new game of QE that makes the last one look like Little League. Otherwise the dollar is the go-to investment during a recession.

I like my new hat by the way, fits pretty comfortably.

I too think it will tank, but I also think it will recover faster than the stock market. What worries me is that we might get a very long crypto winter.
If we do get another spike before the coming recession I will sell most of my stash, and buy back in the recession low, which might come to be an epic low.

How are you going to know that the next BTC spike is temporary?  All spikes are temporary or they are not spikes.
How you going to know if BTC prices are going to correlate with the stock market?  I never said I knew that.
How you going to know when to buy back your BTC, if you do sell "most of your stash?"  I will have to make a educated guess.

By the way, if your stash is less than 1 BTC, then maybe it does not matter too much, even though you should still take incremental measures rather than betting on what seems to be a pretty weak theory, at least from what I have read from you so far. Nice try, I'm not telling you how big my stash is, and I don't know what "theory" you are referring to, The world economy goes in bust/boom cycles, that's a fact, if that's what you are referring to.

Part of the seeming craziness of your plan is that you are planning to bet BIG on further BTC down, even though BTC is currently in about a 80% correction area, but you seem to be expecting a decent amount of more down... yet the better gamble would seem to cautious about how much moar down is likely to happen when there has already been about 80% down.
Bitcoin also goes in cycles, of course there will be a down after the next boom.

I can imagine any number of scenarios where a hostile lawyer being able to enter one's historical receipts for beer might be unwelcome.
I don't see it. And not only because the transaction details on the bank account only show the lump sum paid for groceries with no details regarding individual items.

Divorce, car accident, health insurance, professional malfeasance...the list goes on.  And if you don't think your shopping list ends up in a database I think you are delusional.

I think a little of each is the best approach. If you go totally under the radar that in it self will arise suspicion, pay the things that doesn't matter with plastic and the things you want to keep under the radar with cash or crypto.

In other Christmas traditions, Mrs V8s' Aga went out sometime in the night. Certain dogs were complaining of the chill by 5am. It restarted easily enough for once, but is useless for anything till tomorrow really.
We do have a spare gas cooker in the back kitchen, but she uses all that for the Christmas meals on wheels for the villages, while I attend to our own lunch in her kitchen and entertain anyone staying plus the drivers who ferry the meals around.
Right, so lots of early morning rallying around later, heaters have been borrowed and showers had in friends' bathrooms.
Can see our own lunch not being ready till 5 or so, which is fine. All very Spanish hours.
Every year we promise ourselves to sort the plumbing, heating and cooking arrangements out in this house, but it would be a huge upheaval and a total waste of filthy fiat moneys, which would be far better spent on certain proper, sound, valuable, store of wealth type things.

Peasant that I am, I had to google Aga.

Now there is another thing I want damn you.

And you can if you want to, they are still made. Aga (short for Aktiebolaget GasAccumulator)is the name of the company that invented them, they used to be huge in Europe. Just google Aga cooker.

It sounds like the oil fired AGAs would be a bit environmentally unfriendly.  They are burning heater oil 24/7. That stuff must be GHG intensive.  

I guess they are outdated now, but when they where invented in 1929 they saved huge amounts of coal compared to what was on the market then.

Hmm not sure about that. They run 24/7 so must have some automatic fuelling system. Don’t know how you would do that reliably with coke.  That said I have never owned one so have no real idea.

According to what I read they were so efficient that  they ran 24 h on one "tank" of coke, that was the selling point. But I never used one myself, my grandparents had a gas stove, and we always had a electric stove, so, no personal experience.

EDIT: according to wikipedia they ran on "slow burning coal" whatever that is.

I think some people are just waiting to see what the market is going to do before buying.  They will eventually decide it is not going down any more and then jump in and another rally will begin.  Or someone will dump and they will jump in and then keep the price at about the level it is at now.  I think the fact that we have seen a few dumps already without affecting the price too drastically is really bullish and shows there is some great support

Traditionally bitcoin dumps in Q1.
So personally I'm expecting that last v shaped super dump to come in January or February, and then we will finally be done with this shitshow. A couple of slow but accelerating years are coming.

There's a fucking war on.
These fuckers should all rally round designing and producing the only things that matter: chips free from govt control, miners that go jolly fast and obliterate only the tip of muh environment, software that is not as bloated, shonky and illegible as JJG's 'Memoirs and Musings: My Bookywook (volumes 1 thru 34)(part I)' and then and only after that, vehicles that are useful for the coming world with no roads and no electricity, a wealth of fallout, guns, bandits and finally, vast open spaces free at last from the the poor, the stupid, the hungry.

Well, at least the poor, the stupid and the hungry seems to be disappearing, it's of course the same people.
They are hungry because they are poor and they are poor because they are stupid. Stupid people won't get well paid jobs, if they get any at all.
I read somewhere that the increasing average IQ in the world, the Flynn effect, is not because we are all getting a little smarter for every generation, nor is it because we are getting more of the really smart people. It's actually because we are getting fewer and fewer dumb people in the world for every generation.
To put it bluntly, the losers aren't finding any mates, and thus do not procreate, thereby not spreading their stupid genes to a new generation.

A guy in Turkey published in Facebook that he had 400 BTC. IIRC, he was kidnapped, tortured, and his 400 BTC stolen.

I have sometimes researched the IRL identities of a few people here. Just for the sake of it. I guess all the clearly identifiable ones already know they are somewhat exposed. And I don't remember anything about it.

But how do you know it's the same person. If I wanted to hide my real persona, I would just use somebody else's user name and avatar and send you on a wild goose chase.

Watching the silver price slowly fall back to $6 over the next decade will be even worse.

From a TA point of view, $10 looks like a very strong support and potential bounce. But, r0ach is always talking about costs of production and oil as the main factor. Oil price is gonna dump really hard over the next couple of decades. As much as electrical cars increase their market share the more affected will be the demand of oil. Main demand right now is coming from cars all over the world. Another interesting side effect is that long distance flights will become even cheaper.

I'm sorry.

Where do you think all this electricity is going to come from?

While there will certainly be plenty of volatility in the energy sector, even "dumps", broadly speaking oil will never, ever, be cheaper in real terms.

Even serious industry paid annalists acknowledge that we are past peak EROI, and there is simply no replacement for the energy density of fossil fuels.

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities.

If you trust gay frogs guy over NASA, then I can’t help you.  

Since when is scientific truth decided by majority vote?
The day IPCC get one of their endless predictions right I will consider contemplating their hypothesis.

here let me just update that for you since conveniently for your argument left out the last two years of the chart data ... always happens that way huh?

 Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

... and straight in there with the usual bodged data and smear tactics tricks.

"Man-made climate change" was never about the science, they were just some useful idiots for the socialists to push their shabby agenda of control and shared mediocrity.

Any chance of useful debate or reasoning is gone now ... perhaps that is just how the socialists like it?



weak sauce

This is why I advocate inter-disciplinary training. Cherry picking one data point and crafting it to a narrative is old hat. However if you stand back and take a look at the whole picture it is much more obvious...to some. Be that as it may..I have the feeling Marcus that you are half into your cup and just looking for a punching bag. So be it.

Peace

p.s. the chart was of a model that was projected in 2006 I believe with actual data well within the 2 sigma delta. these models have been refined and are even more highly accurate today but i could not be arsed to find the latest. the more concerning threat is not climate change anyway its rising co2 levels.

That I do agree on.
We will soon be on co2 levels that affects our cognitive abilities. It is rising quickly and we will soon all be breathing air equivalent to that in a closed room with no ventilation full of students at the end of a double class.
And that will make us all stupider.

Btw... There's something fishy here. Can anyone explain the dynamics of what it is being shown in the video? I mean... how can something with such small mass as the stick being thrown make the girl go to the ground? Is it all fake?

I tried to see if it was just a coincidence that she misstepped at the same time, but I don't see it either.

OTOH, the poor way to (NOT) cushion the fall looks VERY real to me.

It's a shovel, not a stick. Getting hit in the head with a shovel will do that to you.

I have a new first world problem.  The place where I am staying this week has extraordinarily low friction toilet roll holders.   This results in the entire roll of toilet paper spontaneously despooling and puddling on the ground.

Have never dealt with an issue of this magnitude before, I am at a loss how best to proceed. 





Long Reach Tissue Grip

Answer to personal hygiene when reaching is difficult. Ergonomic shape helps those with limited dexterity. Soft flexible head grips toilet paper, tissue or pre-moistened wipes securely. Contains a unique release button for fast sanitary disposal.

I was an SSD fan ...
You can thank me later Wink

? ? ?

What was your involvement? NVRAM or controller development? Civil or military?

I realize SSDs date back to the late 1980s. I'm fascinated by the early history.

I always saw storage as the main performance bottleneck in any computer system. I figured when cheap low-power-consumption high-capacity dependable solid state storage was achieved, we'd see a whole new world of portable devices.

It's not surprising that the first netbooks and then smartphones and tablets followed closely behind the development of MLC and TLC flash and controllers with improved wear leveling and garbage collection algorithms. Sure, improved battery and radio technologies helped but the mobile revolution was spurred by SSDs.

Inb4 jbreher fully dox himself: He is a fucking good mass storage engineer/developer. Would love he tells us more details if he feels like. He may have a wrong view of what is the true Bitcoin but the guy really knows his shit and has more high stakes pro level technical background that most of us here. Respect.

Could you please expand on your statement.  I don't understand how systematic mass digital surveillance and a stupid social studies assignment are the same thing.

I don't understand how the fact that your phone can be tracked is a thing at all, everybody knows that.
That the phone company sells your location isn't any stranger than them putting the location of your land line phone in the phone book.
If you don't want to be tracked, turn of your phone or use a prepaid sim card.

Belgian paper..... btc for her life 9 milion € worth ( except they asked monero)

Those papers..... n00bs

Wait, guys you're trying to say you're still reading "paper" newspapers? The last time I read one was like ~10 years ago. Always wondered who's buying those traditional newspapers now.    Grin

Reading real newspapers is becoming a thing for the elite, due to its high price and the fact that the masses don't do it anymore.

Being a relatively newer BTC fan, I though I'd visit a few random pages of the past in this HUUUUGE thread and see the reactions of people from past rallies and selloffs, so here are some quotes, enjoy! Wink


BTC Rallies up to 145$ during the April 2013
What the heck is going on. This is unreal!!! At this rate we will be 200+ in a few days.

Freakin' thing is going parabolic.  Again.

Guys listen...


WTF!!!

Its up $10 in like 2 minutes???

How the fuck am i supposed to sleep. This is the biggest rally ever. Period.


It falls to 83$ on May 3rd
So long as there are entities with 10k+ btc it seems risky to me to be holding btc for any significant length of time during the start of a downtrend.

Agreed ... thats why I prefer to take a small loss and walk away than to sit with a position that was intended to be short term and did not pan out

(This is golden!!)
So now almost everyone is a bear? Investor cycle says we are going up then.  Tongue


And on May 6th it indeed went up at 123$, but on May 8th it fell a bit at 112$ and...
Shorting BTC is starting to be available on different platforms. When that spreads, we will see more downward pressure.

I am shorting it... and I know it will fall. Its just making all of you a fool

There is no BTC reality. Currency value equals to amount of gold it holds. BTC has nothing to back itself. No Equity. Pure liquid capital investement. When the anonymous japanese runs away with all your money.... people will cry here


On November we had a huge rally without a correction; On November 9th BTC was at 359$.
(Some articles praised BTC as a great investment)
Why not pour some petrol on the fire:

http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2013/11/08/secondmarkets-bitcoin-investment-trust-puts-bitcoin-in-iras/

"Interest in the Bitcoin Investment Trust is coming from technology entrepreneurs, family offices and people on Wall Street. Some family offices are beginning to put a portion of their gold allocation into bitcoin Silbert said. "


On November 19th BTC hits a peak of 750$. People were mixed back then.
China unfazed. Rally resumes.
ive dumped. Gettin off this train before it derails!
Bears want this rally to be like April. What they forget is that if this is like that rally, we are headed for well over $1k.
Ok, I bought back in.

BTC crash in 3.....2......1....
Cause that's just my luck


And the next day it crashed to 482$!
Is this the final blow to bitcoin?
Have we officially gone now from correction to full blown bubble collapse?
Right now people are clinging for dear life onto the crazy november trendline. I guess when that breaks.. we go to the october trendline? That would be around $300.


However these were 1 to 2 days sell-offs, not a year long bear market like today. People use to be optimistic when the sell-off lasts a few hours or a week.
Even though I've selected some posts that show a sentiment opposite to the price's direction following a few days later, many others were showing an optimism after every dip.

Where did all those old timers go? Tera is the only one I have seen here recently, and even she is gone now.

I get (and like) everything about bitcoin with one point that is not clear to me: is credit possible in btc-based financial system?
If yes, then how? If no, it could be a limitation, albeit most people might think that this is a feature.

I enjoy short term zero % credit (as i pay my bills in full every credit card cycle).
I fully understand that it is a gimmick and most people don't do that and accumulate debt, although my personal interest payment is -1.5% (1.5% reward and NO interest).
How bitcoin can/will fight this?

I would be happy to lend my btc (on a monthly basis) to a reliable party (if there is such a thing in btc world) and get back 2-3% interest on a yearly basis, but only if interest is in btc and not fiat.
IMHO, btc lending needs to be established and sooner rather than later.


Yes you can have credit. Credit just means that someone else is paying for you.
They simply pay your bills with their own money/bitcoins and then you pay them back at the end of the month or whenever the bill is due. It's just another word for loan.

However, a real loan, over several years, would be impossible to pay back if you get paid  in fiat and would have to convert to bitcoin every payment because of bitcoins rapid deflation. But that's another question.

LOL   right?

When the guy next door to me moved in (the dude with the 69 Camaro drag car I have posted before) the first words he said to me were "hi, were your loud new neighbors".  Well, my band is in the front room, half stack, 400W of bass, drummer is a hitter, PA...we get along swimmingly.

I have always preferred to have noisy neighbours so that they don't complain if/when I want to be really noisy too. Would hate to have a "full silence lover maniac" as neighbour... especially one that wouldn't understand that the problem is theirs and should better isolate their home or buy some fucking earplugs if they are so maniac about it.
I would end up punching you in the face. Probably repeatedly. And worse if eventually getting out of prison for it was on the table.

I have this theory that humans fundamentally do not like other humans. We simply need one another to survive.

You remind me of Egill Skallagrímsson, he was an old Norse dickhead who managed to get under a lot of peoples skin and yet somehow got rich. When he got old and weak he asked his foster daughter if she would ask her husband to take him to the allthing (on Iceland), when asked why he said he wanted to spread his treasure on the ground and watch as people fought and killed each other over it (he was a bit bored, just sitting at home doing nothing). She said no, so he took his treasure chests and threw them in a swamp instead, just so no one could have them. https://youtu.be/4OwsgRcqIx0?t=1044

I don’t know that you could port Bitcoin onto Grin. So it is a threat.  

But their monetary policy is fuxxed.  Big mistake having an endless emissions.  Same trap Monero fell into.  

So that significantly reduces the threat.

Currently set to 50 per 60 seconds (it was going to be 60/m, but I think they finalised at 50/m).  That is not designed to change.  So it's infinite.

Well, if it's infinite it won't be worth anything. That's Economics 101.

That would be my understanding too, which has killed a lot interest that I initially had for it. However, how many other coins are like this? and how many of those have gone from low value to a high value.

Monero? But isn't their supply cut down to only 0.3 every block at some point?

Even with open ended supply it still seems that a lot of money can be made in the medium-term even if long-term it is destined for disaster.

50 every minute forever seems like a awful lot though.


Indeed, it will be the Zimbabwean dollar of crypto.

Now waiting for the money to arrive at CB. Then with no hesitation I will hit the button for a direct buy, I love to do that!  Grin I know that this sum is ridiculously small for many in this forum, but I am happy to increase my modest low 2 digit stash with 2BTC in a month. At these prices I could buy with my fucking salary in the shittiest country in the world only 2BTC in a year! My decision has always been to ignore the market pumps and dumps (I am not that good to predict esp. the dumps) and wait 2-3 years for my first sale. I hope to be able to buy a villa at the beach with part of my stash by then. I still have a firm belief that we will make it to 30K-40K range by then. We shall see.

Congratulations, no sum is too small, I don't think anyone looks down on a true hodler, regardless of the sum.

No that is untrue, an emission is a necessity for a currency that's goal is use and low volatility for a plethora of reasons while a cap is good for a SOV which Btc is.

Endless emission means no value, this is, literally, economics 101. No value means that it is useless. Those guys might be good coders but they know absolutely nothing about economics.
But don't take my word for it, just wait until their wishes meets reality.

Launches Binance Jersey

Crypto Exchange Binance Enters European Markets

According to the release, Binance is launching a new trading platform, dubbed Binance Jersey, designed for fiat-to-crypto trading of the euro (EUR) and British pound (GBP) with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) within Europe and the United Kingdom.

https://www.binance.je

https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-exchange-binance-enters-european-markets-launches-binance-jersey

Hmmm, won't be long before they start forcing KYC as well. Time to stop being lasy and get some cold storage going and get excess funds off of there. I hate fighting with the printer, only use it once a year or so and those cartridges drive me batty. Smiley

Did you account for air drag, or did you only consider gravitational acceleration?

I took an average pebble out my garden. It weighs 10 grams and has a mean diameter of about 20 mm. If we assume it were perfectly spherical with a drag coefficient of 0.47, travelling through air with standard density of 1.225 kg/m^3, and plug the figures into the formula for terminal velocity we get: sqrt((2*0.01*9.81)/(1.225*(3.14*0.01^2)*0.47)) = 33 m/s or 119 km/h. If we pipe that into E = 1/2*m*v^2 for energy, we get ~5.5 J or ~4 ft-lb.

Or in other words, I need Bitcoin to do something exciting.

Perfectly spherical bullets are way different to regular bullets that end up tumbling as soon as they lose the rotational speed with a way higher air drag.

Much of the penetration of a regular gunshot is thanks to its rotational speed. That's why pipeguns are not that effective, even at very short distance, unless properly directed against unprotected vital points (neck, eyes, temple, etc).

To the mooooooon!!! weeeeeeeeee Tongue

WO is a surprise box. I share this hobby, sports shooting, it seems that they understand a lot about ballistics. Wink

Well, if it's infinite it won't be worth anything. That's Economics 101.

No it's not, that is a common misconception, deflationary emission can create security as well as lower volatility. There is no reason a currency should not restore lost or destroyed coins except to create a system that creates rarity of those coins and that is a SOV type system which has not been proven to be secure as of yet.

Standard economic models do not apply to crypto as they do not take the cost of the security of the currency into account.

Yes they do, they apply to everything that can be bought and sold.

I was chilling in the grin discord just to check it out, supposedly people are buying and selling to themselves to rig the price.  If you are actually interested I would hold off on purchasing any until the market settles.

In a year or two I think that if GRIN is still alive I'll buy a shitton of it. Then will ride this other moon train in 4 years.

Why would it become more valuable after a couple of years? What would change then?
as I see it it would just keep loosing value forever, since there is a infinite supply and enormous production speed.

Long story... got interested in Black Coin way back and mined it for a while.  Did not sell on the big pump..  Of course I have no BC now  Roll Eyes.
Born in Ecuador,  studied and worked in the USA.  Been back to EC since 2002.
Proud owner of BTC along with shit coins.   Did not sell on the big pump!  
Hodler at heart or fool?  Time will tell.

tyvm. so great you went back. not a fool, wait for the really big pump after next.
is there a bitcoin scene there? how good is the internet there?

Small BTC community but I do not participate; I live in the mountains away form civilization.
Internet is very good in the main cities in Ecuador.
I have very good internet in my hidden crater via antennas that I installed.

Living out retirement in a state friendly to the herb, sounds like a horticulturalists "Happily Ever After".

Do not see the political/legal landscape changing in Texas for at least another decade, otherwise I would invest in the real-estate/infrastructure here.

2% of actual increase on top of the 10K, what country, planet are you from..... we have to pay for having a bank account, and probably the time will come we have to pay, to may save money on a/that bank account Roll Eyes

Banks are shit but still 2% is rather common.

I got 3% and it's not under heavy conditions and it's rather risk-free. But if you consider inflation it's only a 1/1.5% net gain.

So BTC wins anyway.
I get exactly 0%. And inflation is well over your 2%. What planet...

You can do it, but it is still ilegal. They would need to prove it is you who is doing it though. One bill every so often and probably nothing will happen, but if a lot of "stamped" bills are coming from you and it gets detected you would be into serious problems. Or maybe not... as even if the law exists it has never got to trial even once (at least in Spain).

Don't know where you live, but checked for the Euro notes, and it is definitely not illegal.
Hell some banks/store even use a special pen to write on it to check the note is not counterfeited.

According to the European Commission's Recommendation dated 22 March 2010,[32] "Member states must not prohibit or punish the complete destruction of small quantities of Euro coins or notes when this happens in private.

To me since destroying is the next step of defacing, I think this implies you can't get punished for doing it.

The most surprising here are India and Indonesia. I thought compared to how popular is internet in India and how popular are Gold and cash there, Bitcoin is way behind. I guess just news dont come out.

Being a third world country, citizens of India barely meet ends. Using such technological advancements and having disposable income to gamble on Bitcoin is something I would not expect tbh.

The third world doesn't exist anymore. Almost all countries in the world is now doiing ok, including India.

You all know that I have been dismissive of grin, however in the wee ours of the morning after I wake up but before I get out of bed I usually do some of my best thinking and contemplation.

And this morning I was contemplating grin and its constant and never ending supply versus its price.
And I came to the conclusion that it might actually work, but there are some big ifs.

If grin takes of  and gets a big user base we might see a scenario where more grins are actually lost/destroyed then are being made,and if so the price will be stable and even go up.

Is this going to happen? Well the world economy is not a zero sum game, and the world economy is growing rapidly so there is room for a expanding currency, that’s why the US dollar is not in hyperinflation.
All new dollars printed are absorbed by the expanding economy. This of course only works if the currency is widely accepted on a global scale.

As I understand it grin is anonymous and untraceable, this might not go down well with regulators, and they might ban it from exchanges and on/of ramps.
If so, then it won’t be a popular global currency, but rather a fringe currency traded on a few shady exchanges with a small user base, and subsequently die from inflation.

If on the other hand it is not banned, and if it grows so big that the demand is equal to or outgrows 60 grins a minute, it might be the actual world cyber currency of the future for payments. (rather than bitcoins roll as digital gold/storage)

The road there will however be long and hard, and in the near future the supply will vastly outgrow the demand, and as a consequence the price will for the years to come be very low.

And some easy to use wallets need to be developed soon, and app wallets must integrate grin, and major exchanges must add grin.

A lot of ifs, but success is not against the laws of economics.
When Coinomi or Abra integrates grin I might buy some.

Why don't you mine some? It's fun to learn and all you need is a GPU card or two plus the rest of PC (CPU, memory, SSD, motherboard, powersupply).
I am not sure that price would be very low as VCs are mining it (invested at least $100mil).
Mining is much less risky than buying outright.

Sorry, plucking my favorite parts of your post...

I also think that bitcoin being a store of value and grin being spendable (inflationary, but less and less in %% going forward) could be a good combo like checking (grin) and savings/investment (bitcoin) accounts.

I have no equipment and I'm not that interested in computer stuff. I'm one of those guys that resisted computers for a very long time, I bought my first computer in 1999 and if the unemployment office hadn't sent me on a computer course it would have taken at least another 4-5 years before I had bought a computer.
I was gonna try and mine BTG, but the computer I was gonna use for that crashed and I have no other spare computer. And, as I said, I have no interest. I got interested in bitcoin for political and economical/s reasons. It sounded like sound money and as a nice side effect it would make you rich.

It wouldn't be such a bad thing with dirt cheap gold if you think about it, things that now have to be replaced periodically because they oxidize/corrode can last forever if they are made of gold.

On the other hand, there is no money in mining dirt cheap gold, so they would just mine themselves out of business.

Aren't the Annunaki the aliens that brought life to this planet oh so many eons ago? Seems they might be able to do something more intelligent with all that solar energy than diffuse it back out into space.

They were the original gods of the peoples of Mesopotamia, but were later dethroned. From Wikipedia " In the late Akkadian Atra-Hasis epic, the Igigi are the sixth generation of the gods who are forced to perform labor for the Anunnaki.[50][51] After forty days, the Igigi rebel and the god Enki, one of the Anunnaki, creates humans to replace them."
But there is of course also a new age story, and yes, in that we are created by and mate with the Annunaki in order to work for them and from there on they spin a lot of amusing stories.

Literally this guy would be facing a death sentence or homelessness at best if it weren't for the existence of bitcoin. And he is just the beginning. Never has there been more need or a stronger case for cryptocurrency and yet the price is falling... It makes zero sense.

I mean these are the kids of things that inform my investment decision making. This is how I approach and think about investing. And I'm patient and trust my reasoning and so far it has worked out well enough for me. But in this climate, the price SHOULD NOT be falling.

There is an asset out there that people are on the cusp of being forced into adopting whether they like it or not, and the price of that asset is falling. How long can that continue?

The panic cycle ignores all fundamentals, it seems. Human psychology never changes.

Also, going from 250 USD four years ago to 3600 USD today is not falling.

Yes, but a train ticket there and back is almost $200. Which means I would have to exchange at least $20000 or so, depending on fees (unknown at this time) to make it worthwhile.

I see, I had no idea train tickets were that expensive in DK.

I see there is a atm in CPH, can't you just go there?
Yes, but a train ticket there and back is almost $200. Which means I would have to exchange at least $20000 or so, depending on fees (unknown at this time) to make it worthwhile.

I see, I had no idea train tickets were that expensive in DK.
Dude fucking everything is expensive. A burger is like $10. In Thailand I can get a meal for $3.

It's all down to taxes. If we abolished the welfare state and had a 20% tax with all the hidden shit included the purchasing power per worked hour would be four times as high. Socialism simply does not work and we are all going to suffer for it sooner than most people think.

I agree, but in this case I suspect it's due to lack of competition. I can take a bus from Malmö to Stockholm for 249 SEK (about 30 USD) and there are dirt cheap train tickets too. But there are at least three different train companies trafficking that stretch and a shitload of bus companies, and I am pretty sure the taxes are not lower in Sweden.

Edit: MÖ- STHLM is  about 610 Km

Roughly around 10 000 000 USD in December.

Well, I will be almost 70 when that happens, but I will be glad to see it come true, if I'm still alive.
The prediction is based on the price increase after the two last halvings extrapolated on to two more halvings.

Sorry, I mean three more halvings.

1 million USD after next three halvings is a *conservative* target IMO.

The US is the biggest endorser of Bitcoin.


I just had a strange thought.

I don't know If I will able to express myself like I would in my native language but I'll try my best.

Does anybody find it weird that technologies like mp3, napster, torrent, bitcoin are almost always invented in the US where you get thrown in Jail if you don't pay your taxes or use pirated software, in other words, where the law is too strict?

Now I know what you'll counter me with this: "USA is the most developed country yo noob what did you expect?"

Just stay a while and listen.

I am not talking about that.

It is like they do it on purpose.

It is like they didn't shut down the torrent network willingly. I know they jailed the TPB owner and shut down their website many times but I don't believe they really wanted it. Cuz: "Last remaining Pirate Bay founder freed from jail"

They do it on purpose so people with minimum wages can enjoy movies and books other stuff where only the rich can enjoy "legally".

You become an illegal when you pirate a software but only if you get caught and unless you are too dumb, you'll never get caught.

They are trying to suppress the anger which is raising among the people by giving them these sedatives. If the anger raises to a certain point, it'll become a riot. >> See France.

This is one of the reasons why they invented Bitcoin.

To give people a chance to enjoy the stuff that only the rich enjoy. (like lambos)

I mean there are tons of other reasons but I am sure this is one of them.

The FIAT rich people, naturally, always want to get richer. And in this system, there are thousands of them and they all want to live without working. When there are too many of those freeloaders, the system gets clogged down. And we are already there. In other words, the system has failed.

These rich people need to get poorer. You'll either have to kill them one by one (which'll take lots of effort) or you need to find a way to affect all of them with one trick. What trick would that be? By introducing a new monetary system!

...to make those old kings poorer some other people need to get richer and who do you think these new elite are? Crypto adopters.

The beauty of this,

If guys like Warren Buffet don't join this game, He'll lose shitloads of potential gains because if he doesn't some other rich dude will. And If he decides to join, then he just speeds up the process! of the desctruction of his FIAT investments!

I see what you mean, but I honestly think it's just a coincidence, Many of the things you mention are built by enthusiasts and purposely made to be hard to stop and ban. And that's why they are still around, it's impossible to find and take to court everyone who has ever downloaded a copyrighted movie or book via the torrent network.

From the mouths of children another wake up call. Who is listening?

TED talks w/ Greta Thunberg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2QxFM9y0tY


will play a pivotal roll in the coming changes that are necessary to transition off this destructive oil based economy and into a sustainable environmentally friendly one.

she is a child and speak like a child...
Do we mess up nature...sure we do.
However, ask whether people of Sweden (or anywhere else) will give up their meat and their warm winter flats, etc etc in a noble goal of reducing emissions (with a big maybe), and you would hear a resounding NO.

Realistically, i see only two possibilities:
1. We will continue with population growth, pollution, environmental destruction until we would be too stupid to even comprehend the consequences (CO2 levels twice above normal reduce your intellect by 20%).
Why we would continue? because our lifespan is too short to comprehend the change that occurs over relatively long time periods (more than 30-50 years) and act on this in a democratic society with no dominating opinion.
Once we self-destruct en masse, Earth will return to semi-balance within 100 thou years, maximum a million, only to become unlivable (due to expanding Sun) in about 1 billion years.
BTW, I can see the effects of current civilization first hand. Most current students have significantly decreased levels of comprehension, critical thinking, analysis, etc. Maybe not true for Stanford, but certainly true in some run of the mill schools. The process of "idiocratization" is well on its way.
Can worldwide tech civilization sprung again after the survivors become smarter again following the crisis? Unlikely, since we already consumed vast %% of coal and oil.
This probably explains the Fermi paradox: there is nobody out there because it is impossible (or close to impossible) to solve this problem of civilization vs environmental destruction/pollution. This is proposed to be a Great Filter which presumably prevents civilization to continue over cosmically long time periods.

2. We would become non-biological, which would render Co2 levels moot. In such case, we would probably consume the biosphere or utilize their carbon for something else. Horrible?
Maybe, but it is my less favorable scenario.

Let me inform you about the latest on the Greta Thunberg affair.
The whole thing was set up by the  PR-expert Ingmar Rentzhog in  order to raise money for his company  ”We Don’t Have Time”. It's Kind of like an ICO scam but with Greta as the token. Her mother is the famous opera singer Malena Ernman, who just by coincidence released the book ”scener ur hjärtat” (scenes from the heart) about climate angst and Gretas way too a school strike for the climate, at the hight of Gretas media attention.

The whole story, (in Swedish, use Google translate) https://samnytt.se/svd-uppmarksammar-affarerna-bakom-greta-thunberg-tva-manader-efter-att-de-avslojats/

I lived in China for about six months.  In Shanghai, in the French concession.  I was working for a company in the Jing'an district.  This gave me the opportunity to experience first hand what it is like to live in a country with little to no environmental regulations.  It has been awhile since I have been there so things may have changed a bit since but I have my doubts.

  • I went out to the bars on Bund one night and came home piss drunk.  Hopped in the shower and was thirsty and drunk so took a big mouthful of water.  I nearly vomited and was instantly sober.  Shanghai tap water is disgusting - no one drinks it except the very poor.  It tastes like liquid metal with god knows what mixed in
  • I was driving home in a taxi one winter evening and looked out the window at the beautiful snow fall.  Then I realised it was still well above freezing.  The falling "snow" was just fly ash from the local coal fired power station
  • A friend of mine landed at the airport.  I went to collect her.  On the taxi ride into the city she commented on the moon which was high in the sky.  I told her 'no' that's the sun and its just smog that make it look dim.  We then had an argument about whether it was the sun or the moon.  I was right and she was wrong.

Here is a picture of what Shanghai looks like on a typical day



Here is a photo of Beijing, which tends to be worse than Shanghai



A pic from Shijiazhuang which is further inland





You guys might think that environmental regulations are killing the USA and UK, but I suggest the opposite.  A lack of environmental regulations are killing China and places in Asia.  All the rich Chinese establish anchor homes in the West, in part just so they can get away from the pollution.  

Think twice before you advocate for getting rid of environmental protections.  You might think that the EPA is communist, but it is truly awful living somewhere without proper environmental controls.  I was offered a pay rise if I would stay for another six months after my contract was up, but I got the fuck out of China and have never been back.  Once I got off the plane in the West and walked into the airport parking lot, all I could smell was this wall of fresh air and flowers.  That memory is absolutely seared into my brain after six months of living in smog.  




Some more information just so you don't think I am making it up:

Quote
Can I drink the tap water in China?

No, the tap water in China is not safe to drink. Unlike most western countries where there is easy access to safe tap water, in most places in China the tap water, although it looks clear, is not safe for drinking unless it has been boiled. Even in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, water from the tap is not well filtered, sterilized, or purified, and may carry hazardous contaminants like sediments, rusts, bacteria, virus, chlorines, or other heavy metals. Sicknesses like diarrhea caused by drinking unclean water may spoil your trip.

China's air pollution crisis shows no sign of ending as nation fails to lower coal use  10 January 2017

For the last month, severe air pollution has choked Beijing and coal is estimated to cause about 40 per cent of the smog in the nation's capital. Other cities in the north, such as Shijiazhuang, have recorded air quality of 1000 PM2.5. PM2.5 are fine particles less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter that can lodge in the lungs and get into the bloodstream. The World Health Organisation says anything over 25 PM2.5 as a health hazard

Look at you, using all facts and shit, lets not have that crap get in the way of a good party line.

Yes, but it is also a fact that they work very hards to reduce harmful emissions, and with good effect, and some side effects.
"China's official action plan to address its pollution problems was launched in 2013, and since then, the nation's drastic air pollution controls have had a correspondingly drastic effect, slashing concentrations of harmful PM 2.5 particle matter in eastern China by almost 40 percent."

No, that's environment. It's different. Words mean things and it is a different word. It's right there, see how that works?

No Ibian, the idiom is "nature versus nurture"

"The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology. So what exactly is it all about?

Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are—from our physical appearance to our personality characteristics.
Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding culture."

I see we disagree heavily,  my main goal is to give people a baseline like an UBI.  We are missing out on a lot of potential by people stuck in poverty that go through extreme stress and are never able to achieve anything great.  I believe everyone should at least have their basics met: education, healthcare, housing, food.

You are rich right? Go do that with your money and shut the fuck up about how the rest of us use ours.

There is only so much one person can do.  Don't you realize crime and violence happens mostly because of poverty.  I'm a bad person for wanting to make the world a better place?

Nope, crime and violence happens mostly because of genetics, with a little nurture on top.
Also environment. High levels of inequality with no way to personally advance also contributes. Quite a lot.

That would be the nurture on top.
No, that's environment. It's different. Words mean things and it is a different word. It's right there, see how that works?

No Ibian, the idiom is "nature versus nurture"

"The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest philosophical issues within psychology. So what exactly is it all about?

Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence who we are—from our physical appearance to our personality characteristics.
Nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are, including our early childhood experiences, how we were raised, our social relationships, and our surrounding culture."

Words mean things and It's right there, see how that works?

https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-nature-versus-nurture-2795392
Physical reality trumps idioms. Behavior is, mostly, genetics plus environment. Nurture, what we call raising kids, is part of the environment. Another part is just how Venezuelaed is the economy?

You really don't know what in idiom is, do you.

And also, it's"Nurture refers to all the environmental variable" not the other way around as you claim in "Nurture, what we call raising kids, is part of the environment."
Nurture is literally whatever you do with your kids. You, yourself, are only a small part of the environment. Your idiom is wrong.

I think sticking to the definition agreed upon by the profession when talking about a subject is preferable to making up your own definitions. It helps a lot if everybody speaks the same language.

And an idiom can't be wrong, you still don't get what an idiom is do you.

Next year you might consider having Welsh sausage instead.



That "Welsh" sausage confuses me. Around the QR code it says "opskrifter fuld af smag" that's danish (or possibly norwegian) and means "recipes full of taste" and underneath is the symbol for the Swedish farmers asociation "Lantmännen" and under that is the Welsh flag. I'm confused.

The next 24 hours are critical as always. If we keep the momentum, a breakout above 4K  is possible. This will comfirm that we are in a bull market. Longs are pretty high and shorts are low. The support down to $3K is double than the previous 2 weeks - in BFX went from 6K to 11.2K BTC. We didn't have a rise this week, so a breakout is more probable than a long squeeze.  We shall see.

Give it a rest, we are going sideways till Q4, get used to it.

Talking about pills, one of the pills I take is Enalapril Comp for my blood pressure, it contains a small dose of hydroklortiazid witch is a diuretic, so the doc recommended I take it in the morning, so I wont have get up and pee so much in the night. However, yesterday morning I forgot to take it, so when I remembered in the evening I was like, "eh, I haven't really noticed any increased peeing during the day so it's probably not that bad, Ill just take it now".
Bad decision, I woke up and had to pee nine times last night, not doing that again.
On the other hand, since I started taking them (in the morning) I have noticed that I'm peeing less at night now, I feel like 40 again.

Actually age is degradation in the cells.

When you are younger they regenerate fine.

The challenge is to halt or reverse this degradation.

I believe there are current successful studies, stimulating the repair function back into order.




That's the whole "senescent cells" approach. Basically tries to kill senescent cells (cells that stop dividing) which accumulate with age. Human trials are starting this year by the way.

I know a bit about this approach, called senolytics. One problem is that aging is not considered a disease, so companies have to pursue some aging effects indirectly.
However, senolytics do not significantly increase the lifespan (so far), but they do affect the 'healthspan'. In animal trials, older mice became more healthy, but the average life duration was not affected. There were similar preliminary results (first part) in a first pre-clinical human trial.

A typical senolytic cocktail includes desatinib and quercetin.
Medical grade desatinib is expensive and is an anti-cancer drug needing prescription, so, personally, I decided not to bother with sourcing it for a simple reason that we would probably have something better (less toxic) in 5-10 years.
Quercetin, on the other hand, is readily available, is a naturally occurring molecule (present in apple's peels and in blueberries), so i did try it for a month, which is what one clinical trial did.
No discernible effects one way or another, apart from feeling slightly better (a bit more "robust"), but, of course, I did not do a proper study, so it could be purely psychological.
I would probably pause for a month and do it again. Three weeks on D+Q was the duration of the first human trial, so i also used a similar time frame (without D).

yeah...watch out if they will find something positive...immediately the price would go from 5c to $100-1k a pill.
It would be worth it, right?
I remember how during the first swine flu the cost of a weekly dose of tamiflu went from $10-20 to $300 or higher on the internet (local pharmacies were out for months).
It was worth it as well, just as $20 per btc tx was in December of 2017. People went crazy trying to get in the block immediately.

Not a problem if you get it on a prescription where I live (max price for meds is  240ish USD per 12 month period, some, like insulin, are no cost.

And you were saying??? Technically, the pump started within the 24 hours period and the breakout of 3.6 (3.7 BFX) opens the doors for 4k. At the moment of writing this post we were below 3.6 (3.7 BFX).

Going from 3600 to 4000 is still sideways. Besides it's just temporary.

micG is all about positive and wishfull thinking, all the F***ing way down and all the happy way UP

I get all bummed out, introverted, pensive, reserved, quiet, and generally lack a certain "spring in my step" when we're down and plumbing the depths in Bitcoinlandia.

Rick has noticed and commented on it recently. I think it's bumming the dude out - as well - to see me so bummed, and it's just a viciously cruel circle that's formed.

Again, this is going to veer off into mega-asshole-post territory, and I sincerely apologize for it, but would like to be honest with you guys about my feelings regarding the corn.

I know it's absolutely shameful of me to have recognized and admit that "All I want out of life right now, is to sell just $1M more USD of Bitcorn, above $10k USD, and I'll be perfectly happy for at least the next 10 years."

Then in the next breath, I instantly think about how lucky and blessed I have been, HODLing steady, and believing in this silly corn thing, long-term. Fully recognizing the bounty and privileges the corn has provided me already, and I'm all like "I'm such a dick. Surely I must be taunting the fates some how wishing for more, when I've been bestowed a bounty well beyond any childhood dreams and aspirations I've had."

My finance and legal contacts all respond with "Brother, these are good problems to be having. You should try to find time to enjoy life more, and not be so stressed out."

If only it were that easy.

Totally veering off into meta territory, I'm having genuine issues with the human condition, philosophy, and society-as-a-whole, lately. A lot of personal/business crap IRL has been weighing heavily on me as well, to add to the shit-sandwich.

Anyway, HODL on, HODLers.

Come on Bob, stiff upper lip.
Ceep calm and hodl.

I don't really care for sports, but, did Malmö win?

Sparta were the men. They were a warrior culture.

Nope. Honestly I expected a better answer from you.

Their men were the best warriors because of their matriarch society. End of story.

According to the course i took on antiquity at the university of Lund, the Spartan society was very much a patriarchal society, the women were a lot freer then in other Greek city states, but they certainly did not run the place.

Edit: And, yes, they did get their hair cut short and were dressed up as men on their wedding night, whether they were raped or not is a matter of definition I suppose.

I just read that 63% of all Europeans comes, on a straight male line, from only four men that lived in the bronze age. Now that's being successful.

Checked my source now, and the correct numbers are 64% of all European men comes , on a straight male line, from only 3 men living in the bronze age Nature Communication (Batini et al. 2015). That's even more awesome.

Just to clarify, in the Scandinavian languishes "lund" means grove, often a sacred grove where, in the old religion, you would sacrifice to the gods.

But since we are speculating on things & physics is my hobby, I would have to go with the multiverse theory.
All universe's are tangled and intertwined between them in a constant state of superposition.
Very simply put, 'our' universe big bang, originated from another universe black hole collapse!?
The real question is how did it all that start.

I am with you on that. The singularity doesn’t seem particularly stable so what was before.  I would like to think it just another big cycle.  Eventually space time will start to shrink, the universes will contract again into a single point and then re-explode.

If we are in a cycle then the answers to our far distant past lie in our far distant future

Edit:  hey it’s actually a thing.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model   I guess it’s a pretty obvious thing to think

What is really interesting is that various mystic religions hit on the same model long before science.  One example being the Egyptiian, later Gnostic and Hermetic, concept of Ouboros.  Also seen in the Norse Jormungand. 

There is something very interesting going on at the intersection of cosmology and psychedelics.

Jojo, Jormungandr also known as the midgard serpent ( miðgarðsormr) is the giant snake or sea serpent that encompasses midgård, where humans live. I think you mean ragnarök, the end of the world as we know it and the beginning of the next world.

I think I know what I mean Arrie.  I very much see Jormungand as parallel to Ouboros; a serpent eating it's own tail in a cyclic continuum of existence.

My understanding is that there are two versions of Ragnarok present in the Norse mythos, one cyclical and one not, I see the cyclic Ragnarok as the point of tail eating if you will.

But we are quibbling, the interesting thing is that ancient mystics had developed a cosmological model very much in keeping with modern theory.

I believe that the universe does reveal itself to consciousness that asks.

Ok, sorry.

Personally I think those are just coincidences, human brains looking for patterns type of thing.

Just saw this, trying to catch up with mail, private messages and this thread, is a Sisyphus work.

Thank's a lot!
I like them both, but I'll go with the one your wife made you make, it's really cool, with a medieval kind of look.
The other one is cool too with a techno kind of look, I just think the angel is a bit too tilted, it makes it a bit hard to recognize. I will save them both, but for today it's the birthday hat.
And I would never think that you would mean any disrespect.
Again, thanks for the cool hats.

apologies! just added the sig ad for posts of the Bitcoin Big-Mac-Index which is a project I'm working on and to reach a balanced cost history there.

If I post comments and other stuff here I won't add the sig ad manually to my posts.

Don't want to be an asshole, more so when it doesn't really bothers me... but please take in mind that it could be considered some sort of rule evasion.

No problem, I go back into the resource pool, lots of demand for this old looser. Wink

they let you go?? F*** how is that possible ....
hope you get something new and exciting right away

Yeah no worries, just my move to higher up in group comes without me  Cool  hahahaha    fs

This is a success really (ignoring the management opinion), I created and organised a team who has gone on to become great leaders and organisers in their own right.

they will continue on to be very successful. I am offered to "wrestle back control"  from them.   :/

That is in opposition to all the agile development principles I uphold and the beautiful thing we have forged together. I shall not do so! I expect them to want to grow more if anything, right?

I shall gracefully stand down and move on to work with a new group of individuals on some city or gubbermint project and what will be will be. no worries.

First I want to than all of you who congratulated me on my birthday, I really don't have the stamina nor the time to go back and check each one of you right now, so I thank you all this way.

I would also like to thank everybody who wished I would get better.
I am much better now, a harsh dose of cortisone broke the relapse it seems, I'm not back to normal, but a lot better then two days ago.

I would also like to return the birthday hat, I'm sorry Homer, but it seems like it gave me bad luck.

My plan is to keep accumulating till the next top and then sell all in increments starting at 100 000 and ending at 300 000 or when I think the top is in, Put that money in a high interest savings account and then buy back after 13-15 months, when the new bottom has formed.

College tuition in Belgium

Quote
Tuition fees at public universities and colleges in the French Community of Belgium are set by the regional government. For the academic year 2015/2016, tuition fees ranged from 374 to 836.96 EUR per year for EU students depending on their income and whether they are eligible for a grant/scholarship.

There are other reasons.  Don’t blame it on government subsidies
I'm in Europe and University has gone to shit here. The Bachelor/Master system is a complete downgrade and utter disgrace from what we had before in a country undisclosed. University is now school round two instead of being an institution that fosters research and critical thinking (in non-research students - which make up the majority of the student body). I was appalled at how cookie cutter Mathematics and Physics programs are and surprised at the resulting quality of graduates (before I realized the problem).

Also, thanks to university "being" (appearing) free, people who can't normally afford it are taking up bullshit recreational courses that don't produce any value in the Economy. I don't have anything against those and am interested in some of the topics myself. But when people get fooled into believing that they can study anything and get a job there's a problem. And when it's "free" they are ridden of any incentive to think about the implications of their actions.

I totally agree with you, especially regarding the The Bachelor/Master system.
But I also think that the government more or less pushing everybody in to university studies is to blame, it's become more like high school than university, with some exceptions.,When I studied in the late 80s early 90s it was still a bit special to study at a university, today it seems more or less mandatory.

I don't have anything against those and am interested in some of the topics myself. But when people get fooled into believing that they can study anything and get a job there's a problem. And when it's "free" they are ridden of any incentive to think about the implications of their actions.

I totally agree with you, especially regarding the The Bachelor/Master system.
But I also think that the government more or less pushing everybody in to university studies is to blame, it's become more like high school than university, with some exceptions.,When I studied in the late 80s early 90s it was still a bit special to study at a university, today it seems more or less mandatory.

The last point is also quite interesting. It really does seem as if a degree was mandatory.

But in reality, any self-driven and somewhat disciplined person would be able to learn much more by just not going to university and focusing on their profession of choice. University takes up too much time on mundane repetitive nonsense that doesn't teach you anything of value and takes time away from building a portfolio of work, while simultaneously driving most students into just blatantly copying assignments without learning anything.


When I was teaching I had to give classes and correct assignments, and 70% of them were identical (including spelling and grammatical errors).

As a job it was nice, because I'd have one pile of assignments where I marked the first one and then only copied off the final points, without any notes. That resulted in an hourly wage of over 60 Euros.

But when thinking about the implications for society that's just sad.


Which doesn't mean that University (even in it's current state) has no place at all, as anyone who needs someone or something to kick their asses to be productive can still benefit from them. But in most cases they just exacerbate the underlying problem that starts in elementary school. Namely turning curious and motivated kids into retarded unmotivated copy/paste drones.

Seems like being a teacher at American universities isn't very lucrative (this guy is also my favorite you tuber). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7lGCPX_8nc

Nice to see some voices of reason today in this world of total madness.

The founder of Greenpeace,  the legendary environmental fighter Patrick Moore speaks out and calls the hypothesis about human caused environmental changes the "biggest bluff in history". https://www.breitbart.com/radio/2019/03/07/greenpeace-founder-global-warming-hoax-pushed-corrupt-scientists-hooked-government-grants/

And TitaniaMcGrath is publishing a book.
For you who don't know who  that is, it's a 40 year old man with a twitter account that makes fun of the leftist snowflakes by pretending to be the most leftist political correct snowflake ever with tweets like:

"it is hugely problematic to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by  eating vagina cakes.
If I was a fat woman with a penis I’d be feeling pretty annoyed right now."

And "You’ll notice there’s not a single obese player in the England football team.
This kind of discrimination is precisely why the fat acceptance movement is so essential."

And "If you only have sex with people you find attractive, you might want to ask yourself why you’re such a superficial bigot."

LOL how?

How could you deny the environmental pollution causing by the industrial smokes, cars etc?
How could you deny the fact that we are destroying the environmental ecosystem by cutting the forests?
How could you deny that we are killing animals and imbalancing the entire food chain?
How could you deny the climate change?
How could you deny the increased sea level?

Do you know what will happen if the last bee dies?
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjID1ugr1fo

First of all, we are talking about the thing that was previously called global warming. They have changed the name now, mainly because the warming has the audacity to not appear.

Secondly, polluting emissions are just a fraction of what they were in the developed world when I was born.

Thirdy, We have actually had a reforestation, not the opposite https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/tree-cover-increase-world-deforestation-farming-rainforests-forests-a8486096.html
https://news.mongabay.com/2018/08/earth-has-more-trees-now-than-35-years-ago/

Fourthly, I have never denied that we are killing animals, I eat meat on a daily basis. "Imbalancing the entire foodchain" is just too vague too mean anything.

Fifthly, I'm not denying climate change, I'm denying that it is caused by humans. And that the hypothesis behind it is not proven. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2171973/Tree-ring-study-proves-climate-WARMER-Roman-Medieval-times-modern-industrial-age.html#ixzz20MYka5fG
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120709092606.htm

Sixthly, The sea levels increase by approximately 2-3 mm yearly, and have been doing so for several hundred years, no significant increase is taking place.

I do not know what will happen if the last bee dies, but I do know that the collapsing beehives seem to be under control in Europe, It seems like it was caused by a invading Asian mite and pesticides, mainly nicotinoids, they are now banned or about to be banned.
However, this is a temporary dip, the population is recovering as we speak, and most importantly, what has that got to do with climate change?

To get back to our past talk about my excitement for VR.

I have been planning to create a game (VR or non-VR depending on timeline) that incentivizes people to break the auto-pilot lifestyle without them even noticing, should I ever be in the position to do so. You never asked and just assumed my position though, so we got into an argument back then.

I went from being a poor person that everybody claimed would amount to nothing to a degree in Math and self-made fortune. Mostly thanks to a game with proper incentive structures. And I want to recreate the experience for future generations, if I can. Not everybody wants to sacrifice their lives for "the greater good". Especially when the world seems to be set against you. But with the right incentives people might just end up doing so while enjoying themselves.
Education through entertainment is an excellent thing and sometimes comes in surprising forms.

I watched 300, same as anyone else. From there I read Gates of Fire, which is even better. Currently reading On Sparta, and learning things I had never heard about before. Important shit like their council of elders that kept the balance in society, and one of the main reasons they didn't collapse from within like everyone else did. This is stuff we can use to better our own culture, and it all started with an action flick.

80s and 90s cartoons often had the characters summarize the lesson of the episode, same with tv shows.

Couple excellent mangas as well, such as Vinland Saga and Vagabond that are accurate enough to give an idea of how people lived in those times and places and might inspire further reading. Also the occasional anime like Psycho Pass.

What was the game?

No surprises here


Surprise for me. I'd have imagined I'd be more "libertarian", as I lean heavily into laissez faire, including the bad consequences of poor choices.

Useless quiz is far too statist to get proper picture
Yeah, the questions also aren't sufficiently well-defined for my taste.

Some years back I went to the doctor to get my insomnia checked out. Ended up at some ADHD specialist.

The questionnaire was so ambiguous that I could've crossed anything without distorting the truth depending on how I'd choose to interpret the questions. Needless to say, I could choose the outcome so I went ahead and got a Ritalin prescription just to be sure.

Surprisingly, it knocked me out. First time in my life I went to bed and just fell asleep.

Not taking it anymore because I don't like having to watch my diet to negate the side-effects, and while it makes me more productive and focused it makes me think more linearly and thus tampers with creativity.

Tl;dr questionnaires are shitty ways to collect data. But unfortunately the best we have for now. Probably going to change in a decade or so though.

That is my experience with Ritalin as well, I never had any sleeping problems tho, rather the opposite, I sleep too much and is usually on a 25 hour cycle.
But I tried microdosing it instead (1/4 to 1/2 of a 5 mg pill in the morning) and that gave me a good balance between focus and creativity without messing with sleep and hunger.
I'm not taking it right now because of interactions with other drugs, but I will try another round when I'm of that drug.

That sucks, have you tried melatonin pills, they seem to work well with some individuals.
I always read for an hour or two when I go to bed, and sleep just comes to me during that time. When I close the book, I fall a sleep.

We have been producing electricity for ONLY about 100 years. Oil and coal are the driving force behind it. We have plenty of coal allegedly, but you forget what I have been talking about recently. People today have fucking small amygdalas. We WANT to die as a group. People are gonna obstruct the use of profitable power with ethics and other bullshit while people are dying. Solar and wind is simply not enough for our current lifestyle.

Wind and water works, but it's by far not the only ways to produce electricity. 96% of Norways production comes from hydro, and 64 TWh of swedens as well, and 63 TWh from nuclear.
Each country has there own mix if one stops you still have the rest, and you can trade with neighboring countries.

EDIT: Sorry its TWh for Sweden, or about 40% each

But how?

Apparently, world had experienced a huge solar flare in around 660 BC (https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a26817934/solar-storm-greenland/), the size of "an electrical grid would be down for months if not years" and that was with earth magnetic field intact. The last event that was previously recorded was a famous Carrington event in 1856 (with no electrical grid present yet).

The movement of poles have an intermediate stage where magnetosphere becomes chaotic. See:
https://www.livescience.com/18426-earth-magnetic-poles-flip.html

Well, I guess that a combination of a largish flare and chaotic magnetosphere would be an ELE (extinction level event).
Hopefully, before that we would travel to the stars.

I'm well aware of the solar flares, it's the changing of the magnetic poles i don't see as any reason for alarm. I read a paper (can't find it now) that had looked into earlier changes and come to the conclusion that it did't really affect life on earth. And I don't see how it can possibly affect the production of electricity, they are not related.

Yes, but in a historical context the problems with religions didn't start until the monotheistic religions became popular. Before that there were no religious wars, a shitload of wars for other reasons, but religion wasn't one of them.

Crusades are the campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering the Holy Land from Muslim rule

According to the Muslims, they were protecting the Holy Land from the Christians.

How about that?

Then I think we should return the favor and "protect" their holy land with a couple of nuclear bombs over Mecca and Medina and then finish it of with a total annihilation of Saudi Arabia and all muslim holy places. And from there go on to totally inihilate islam.

The greeks were at constant war. The japanese spent centuries slaughtering their own kind. The vikings liked to rape and pillage (Hi!).

There is no doubt about that, but implying that Islam is a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own seems far from accurate (and I'm being nice).
Can you explain, with facts and numbers and cause and effect where this comes from?

You guys are quite the funny bunch, thanks for the entertainment Kiss

It comes from the koran. To much text for this thread, so here's a link http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/koran.html.

It's actually way more complex than just cherry-picking some translated verses and stripping them out of their very specific context to make them match whatever reality you want them to depict...

Well actually you Ibian is the one who should explain with facts and numbers and cause and effect why you would be right in saying that some people deserve to be massacred and emphasizing the massacre of their children too...
I know you don't need it (and probably don't deserve it either) but I somehow pity you, go figure.

Immigration without integration always leads to war. You won't accept this. No matter, your turn.

You are clearly not answering my question and shifting the discussion towards something else... My question was very clear, you are saying that some people deserve to be murdered along with their children and you seem to think that you are right in saying/thinking that, I asked you to explain to me (as you said) with facts and numbers and cause and effect why, and here I am still waiting...

No it's not, it's actually that simple

We have plenty of coal allegedly

Supposedly 100 years of coal in the US, but I don't know many people with coal powered cars.  So yea, shouldn't be a problem powering buildings in the US with a combination of coal and nuclear, but there's no substitute for oil to power the cars.  The future I imagine for the west is an oil shock and a large societal shift to where western countries are going to be riding around on little motorcycles that consume small amounts of gas like they do in Asian countries.  Then some electric cars here and there, with the big gas guzzlers only being used to transport food or other materials.

As for this ArrieMoller and Trollgoossens guy, Europe has just about no fossil fuels, so you guys are cucked unless you beg Putin to not let you die.
Can always charge batteries with electricity generated from nuclear power while transitioning to solar and fusion. The transition also won't be nearly as bad as you make it out to be if it's a necessity. Necessity implies disproportional profits, which from your perspective the Jews would be so happy to provide that they'll make it work. If they don't they'd be stuck with little to nothing and a lot of mostly useless money.

I instead to be 100% energy self sufficient (car & house) within the next 24 months.  Currently have a Powerwall2 on order so I can capture my solar for night time use instead of dumping it into the grid. It’s 13.5kwh so not enough to take me off the grid altogether but I’m getting close.  

Electric car is next. Big oil and the Saudis can go fuck themselves.  Looking at the Taycan, Model 3 Performance but there are some other interesting ones in the pipeline.  Like this electric Peugeot concept.

https://i.ibb.co/nM9q9jb/44-B453-B0-BBB0-4-B72-BACE-726-D75-FC29-A6.jpg



No need to muck about with nuclear, the future is already here.

Dammit HM i like you very much.... but don’t go electric on cars let us humans keep cars and Bikes on oil engines, i like them so much

Hope this doesn’t make me a bad person Roll Eyes
No it doesn't.

But let me propose that we restrain oil cars to specifically designed race tracks in the future and keep streets that are meant for transport and travel automated and electric. That way we can have the best of both worlds while minimizing the down sides: pollution and accidents.

But you are also taking away the free will of the driver. I will never drive a car that I am not in total control of if I wish to be.

Now countries as Thailand, Sri Lanka, just Asian probably .... and F*** it was extreme terrible hereon the philippines....
But what i wanna say i think one of my main expenses on this holiday are when we finish our meal in the evening i go out and buy loads of meat on local shops and Bread.... and we ride like an hour or longer on very low speed with the scooter stopping @ all the dogs all the way t’ill our hotel and give them something to eat......

We are not really helping humans here (i always tip them good for their services) but man to see the scared and helpless dogs eat what we give, yeah you know it puts me in SUPER condition to get into my HODLsleep



Gave you my last merit for that, I too have a soft spot for animals, I have 8 stray cats that live in my garage.  I have made a hole in the wall for them to get in and put some cat beds inside for them to rest on and I feed them daily.
I buy the cheap cat food at Hornbach, both soft and hard.

You're not alone in your thinking. But I welcome the change. Time to read a book, watch a movie, play a game, etc. Anything but be a zombie staring at the dotted lines.

I have been driving both cars and trucks for a living for almost twenty years, so I know how important it is to be in control of the vehicle, there are many tricky situations that I would never trust the car/truck with. Having said that, I don't mind letting the car drive when my control is not needed, but I do want that to bee my choice.

And as for entertainment I  used to listen to audio books when I was driving, it was really nice, almost like being back in school when the teacher would read for the class from some children's book.

You have described a clock.

Maybe it's useful as a tool for producing some kind of machine or programming or whatever, but without some kind of context to explain what you are trying to do beyond the obvious, the result is still 4.
No, I have not described a clock. Clocks don't perform operations.

Context has been given, but you're cherry picking what you want to use to pretend that your reasoning abilities somehow make you superior. They don't. Your reasoning is heavily flawed, much more so than HM's appeal to emotion. He's trying to learn. Toxic and you don't. You're literally equivalent to him (Toxic) and only accepting what you already believe, while running away from arguments you clearly aren't equipped to hold.

Whole point of the finite fields was to demonstrate that objectivity as you seem to understand it is nonsense. No more than a result of evolution simplifying the non-objective reality for the sake of energy conservation.

Quote
Call math a language if you want, doesn't change anything. If it is a language that describes reality then it is reality you are dealing with. And with that I'm done with this topic.
English describes reality. Extremely poorly.




And again, you've completely ignored the fact that all of Math starts from assumptions. Assumptions which are de facto subjective. You can be "done" and pout all you want, but to use your words, that won't change reality. And if you want to go the "reason" and "objectivity" route, then my experience in Mathematics certainly gives me more authority to speak on this topic than you will ever achieve given my head-start. And the fact remains, Mathematics is a subjective language. Literally a language that is subject to the capacity of human thought. Which is self-evidently limited in scope.

You can't even begin to make an argument with similar rigour to that of a Mathematical proof in English. As such, you have sufficiently demonstrated your complete (current) lack of capacity for understanding the nature of it.

You clearly don't have your emotions in control either, otherwise you would've conceded that your reasoning is insufficient rather than becoming defensive. And here we go full circle to emotion/reasoning being a spectrum that is optimized with equal parts of both. Each to keep the other in check.

Wow, I think I just witnessed Ibian's amygdala shrink.

There is a ongoing debate around the house as to its function. A microscope, a telescope and or a sextant have all been postulated and tbh I have never seen anything like it. While not precision made, it is quite sturdy and appears to be made out of some sort of brass. Looking through the optic sight there is not much magnification so I doubt its a telescope. Same for being a microscope, and it lacks the typical features of a sextant so I am at a loss. Another theory is that its just a fake steampunk sort of thing.

The book Twyla Tharp indicates dancing.
The device looks like a portable magnifying device.
No compass or measuring on device. No compass. So not a scientific device.

I assume this would be used to view dancing when stuck in a skybox...
Or for a choreographer....
Maybe correcting eyesight only... so pre glasses



My guess....

 I believe it's art.  Critical 2018 was an art festival similar to the burning man festival.  The theme for 2018 was "A trip to the moon".

"Vintage look" but 2018 year? Yup.

 It's a knock-off of an opera glass (monocular) from a bygone era.  Not useless but there are better options now though not so cool.  They were produced by King optical in the late 1800s.  I think this would pair nicely with V8s leather cloak.

So to conclude.
It's replica of a theater/travel monocular made by the King Optical Co in the late 1800s.
It was made for a "burning man" like festival in 2018 that had the theme  "A trip to the moon".

In case you didn't know how serious of a problem it is allowing women to vote:

This is hilarious. And also proves that democracy is at least as retarded as the majority vote. Not that democracy exists anywhere in the world right now.

I would argue that Switzerland has true democracy.

Just thinking ... my GF got a Nice LTC-bag jut what should she do.... HODL

Or go BTC? But when ?  Difficult   Undecided

Best ideas? Any help for drunk people?

Since I converted my play money to LTC some weeks ago I have noticed that LTC follows BTC closely, but, when BTC and LTC goes up, LTC seems to go up almost twice as much, percentage wise, as BTC.
But when they go down they seem to go down the about same  percentage.
So, my advice is to hold on to your LTC until about a month or so before the halving, and then sell for BTC.
That is my plan anyway.
The halving is in about four months.

My heart genuinely goes out to them.


I don't pray, because I don't have a god or other deity to pray to, but I will take a solitary evening stroll and ask who ever might be listening to keep them safe, but science says it will make no difference. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt either.

On a more serious note, I would like to say a few words of warning about the Elwar affair.
A bit late I know, I should have posted this earlier, but here it goes anyway.

As a man with some military experience I would like to point out that the enemy is always listening.
Every time someone here posts a guess as to where they might be or where they might go or the best way to get there, or any other speculation, you should always assume that the enemy is reading what you are typing.
You are tipping of the enemy on places to look and routes to search, things that they might not otherwise have thought of.
I therefore suggest that we keep total radio silence on anything Elwar related until he himself breaks that silence.

All are same but defines different forms of surya.
Surya =sun

Surya dev : human form of sun or just sun ( usually Hindus pay respect to sun every day in the morning ) ignorant younger generation like me see this as a silly thing. Why pay respect to nature, huh...

Surya graha: Graha =planet (it's related to horoscope) devotee wears sun necklace and some wear sun tattoos on body and we call those people Suryavanshi.

Surya narayan bhagwan : this is big form of sun in human, consider very holy who worship sun. Guess you are looking for this figure.

Watch out bro!! If you are diving in. Hinduism is very complex and very diverse Even Hindus scratch their head when we look at Hinduism which is "sanatana dharma" in real.

Edit: will send pictures to you later or you can Google it. I am using phone right now.


Thank you very much.

I'm currently reading a book by a Swedish archaeologist who is comparing bronze age Swedish religion with vedic and other indo european religions. He's especially looking into old Nordic sites with remnants of burnt stones and other sites that would suggest fire offerings and comparing them to Vedic/Hindu fire altars. He's working from the theory that the religions were pretty close at that time, ca 1500 bc. One of the most famous bronze age artifacts from that time is the sun wagon from Denmark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trundholm_sun_chariot
It is obviously the old nordic equivalent of suraya, so I am kind of looking for something similar in Vedic/Hindu tradition.

Why ?

I have no desire to proselytize or convert anyone to any sort of faith. In fact, genuinely discussing matters of faith is not something I am generally open or comfortable with.

Having said that, seeing this sort of talk of militant atheism being somehow morally superior to any faith, is a fallacy, and troubling to me - owing to a certain lack of metacognition.

A lot of original users came to Bitcoin due to like of no government control, that's something libertarians and right leaning people like.

Now with the left going full socialism and wanting to give away money from those who work to those who "are unable or UNWILLING TO WORK" in their new green deal and wanting huge tax rates I think most bitcoiners in the US are probably Trump supporters.

Let’s assume you are President and King and have total control over the laws of the land. What happens to those unable or unwilling to work?

The unwilling can fuck right off.
+1 smerit

I don't understand how this could even be up for debate.
When has society ever decided that being a lazy piece of shit is an acceptable behavior and is to be rewarded with a living income?

Talk about a way to breed even more losers into society and bring it down moreso in total.

Low end jobs would have no workers, the taxes on those who work would be raised to cover them, it  would be a monumental source of damage to the economy and society.

Guys - indulge me in working through this.  

Let’s focus on the unwilling.  Someone who point blank refuses to work.  I am guessing that these people do not receive any form of social welfare.  

Do these people starve in your world? Or maybe they are compelled to work?

They do not get any welfare, how they get by is their own business, live on mom, beg, (but that is a kind of job), borrow, what ever.

That's right, they starve.

Compelled to work? Because you know what's good for them? Who anointed you all Mr/Ms High-And-Mighty?

You do you. They do themselves. I do me. See how easy that all is?

Ok so forced labor camps are out.  That’s good, I didn’t like the idea of them.

I believe that the community has a number of people who are able bodied and mentally ill, or just plain stubborn.  

I want to work on the edge cases, because the edge cases are where the rubber hits the road.

You don't "work on the edge cases", you change the goalposts, first we agree that people who are not capable of working should be helped, then you include the very same category in your cohort of unwilling (people who are able bodied and mentally ill).
And btw children that are endangered would be cared for by social services. We are talking about adults here. Another example of you moving the goalposts.

Ok so the right wing utopia does have social services ?

I want to know what happens to the kids because that is where the right wing approach always breaks down, and we end up with something that looks like what we currently have.

Are you deliberately making yourself look stupid?

No we went through a necessary process in order to establish that refuseniks starve in the streets.  

This is important context because it establishes the risk that children of refuseniks could also starve in the streets.

Having lived in China, I have seen a 4 year old child sleeping in a garbage bag in the snow outside my office. I want to know if the right wingers aspire to the same result in Western countries.   Or alternatively whether that is unacceptable and the talk about refuseniks starving in the streets is just bluster.

You do know that China is a communist dictatorship don't you. That's your paradise, not ours.

Well it doesn’t look like anyone wants to advocate for children starving in the streets.  If you follow that through to its logical conclusion you end up with a system not dissimilar to the current system.

On that basis I think that left and right are actually quite close in their approach although the rhetoric differs.  

I guess Jbear and Arie and I can agree on stuff.

If you think having a function of some kind for taking care of children makes a socialist and a free society the same you are delusional.

Oh FFS, I was kidding!

 Apologies, brother. Did not read the sarcasm.

 I am a bit troubled with the world today, owing to the unfortunate events in Sri Lanka.

Yeah, me too actually, I wish the muslims would just stop killing innocent people.
If they keep this up it will end very badly for them.

Wait, how are we so sure this is rightly directed towards the Muslim community?
Although I'm not part of a religion, I find it somewhat offensive to see people blindly pointing fingers.

I'd wager that Muslims didn't even have a hand in this.  What could be achieved by a small group of 'terrorists' hurting the public like this? Do they think they'd somehow gain power or control from it, No, not even a small chance!
Now ask the same question: What could be achieved by the 'government' or 'TPTB' sending fear into the public?
Very simple, fear=submission
Ii believe its all power and control tactics used by the state or a globalists agenda.
Seems way to coincidental the past few weeks of religious connected events. NZ, Notre-Dame, and now Sri Lanka.
Comon' Nobody slips on banannas.  
But, but the news said it was the muzlums.  

Dude I'm going to have to tell you about this group of terrorist, it's going to blow your mind and it's a lot more plausible.
They're called ISIS, they're a bunch of fucks and are eating war on anyone that's not like them.
BS, ISIS is a outfit trained and funded by USA and Israel. They are being used as the publics' bogeyman to garner justification for endless war. ISIS, Al-qaeda and the Taliban are all the same puppets.  Further, these factions were created to fight each other and destabilize areas/governments.
Hopefully you were just joking, is that leftists humour?

Seriously some times this fucking rag tag group is just too fucking out there. Like I said in my earlier post I am more libertarian and I am pro Trump, I'll agree the US sucks at thinking through what happens after proxy wars but in no way do I think that ISIS is a continuously backed group  by the US and Israel. I think you fell down a rabbit hole and need to hop out.

First research how many Muslims ISIS killed in comparison to any other religion, and then talk about "Muslims"

So what? Muslims killing muslims are still muslims.

Thank you very much.

I'm currently reading a book by a Swedish archaeologist who is comparing bronze age Swedish religion with vedic and other indo european religions. He's especially looking into old Nordic sites with remnants of burnt stones and other sites that would suggest fire offerings and comparing them to Vedic/Hindu fire altars. He's working from the theory that the religions were pretty close at that time, ca 1500 bc. One of the most famous bronze age artifacts from that time is the sun wagon from Denmark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trundholm_sun_chariot
It is obviously the old nordic equivalent of suraya, so I am kind of looking for something similar in Vedic/Hindu tradition.

Your welcome bhai.

this one looks interesting, please drop that archaeologist's name. will look into his-her work as well.  and sun was considered very sacred almost in every ancient religion so not very surprising if there are some major or small similarities between different ancient religions.



I think there is consensus among scholars nowadays that the indeuropean religions have a common origin in the religion of the jamna/yamna culture that populated euroasia some 3500-2500 years ago.

The authors name is Anders Kaliff, the books name is "Källan på botten av tidens brunn" (The spring at the bottom of the well of time, with the under title "indoeuropean roots to proto Norse religion"). I don,t think it's available in English, but some of his other books and papers are. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Anders-Kaliff/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3AAnders+Kaliff

It's the rhetoric.  

I am quite certain that if you started erecting spars 15 miles out in the gulf of Mexico and posting on FB about your libertarianism and self sovereignty the reaction of the USCG would be swift and unequivocal.

Global enclosure is nearly complete.  I really think that, short of an orbital Lagrange platform, the aircraft carrier is the only way.

I think an old supertanker or massive container ship would be a better option..  and a lot easier to obtain... 

Granted, there would be more upfront work involved to make it usable.. but with those huge wide open holds, you could basically build in whatever infrastructure you want..  Kinda like buying an old warehouse and turning it into high-end flats...

I don’t tend to worry about what he does in the short term as long as he gets home at the end of the night.  The halveninng is just a signpost by the side of the road to let us know badger is heading in the right direction.  

Have you ever tried politics?

So I was thinking of trading some shitcoins for bitcoin. And I checked out shapeshift, now they require an "account" with "basic info"

FUCK!

Is there a better option where I don't have to put down my wang size in order to swap coins?

Try Changely, i used them not too long ago, no account needed. However, they are in the coinomi app where I store my play money, I have never accessed them outside of coinomi.

I don't know what inspired me to find this post... Think I was reading through rpietla's competing WO thread and saw a comment by SaddamBitcoin (don't know what happened to that guy, maybe he struck it rich with XMR and fucked off)...

Anyway, its to lighten the mood a bit (if it needs lightening), and I don't know where else to post it, but I want to archive it somewhere else than its original moderated thread, and where I'll remember where it is.

Sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2014 I made a bet with SaddamBitcoin that the price of XMR would drop below 0.01 BTC before the end of the year. He was of the utmost firm opinion that it would not. The loser had to send pictures of themselves peeing on their own head.

Its time for SaddamBitcoin to live up to his part of the bet and pee on his own head.

XMR dropped below .01 on Dec 17th. I can't find the comments that were part of the bet -- most likely they were deleted by one of your mods.

But he owes me a picture of himself peeing on his own head. Or else I'm going to start my own thread with it.

It's true, I lost the bet fair and square. Regardless, my faith in Monero remains strong so I must uphold my end of the bargain.

I will deliver a photo of the deed to Nutildah by midnight Dec 31st 2014.

Sure enough, he upheld his end of the bargain. I think. He did PM me somewhere between 2 and 4 pictures  -- but -- I was so dumbfounded that he actually sent them that I never actually bothered to look at them. (I'm not really into that sort of thing from a fetish standpoint or a sadist standpoint, if you could even call it that.)

Being the dick that I was (am), I posted links to them somewhere. Later I got a PM from somebody who offered me 5 XMR to remove the post with the links. I felt kind of guilty about the whole affair so I just deleted the post without taking the 5 XMR. Apparently they were real pictures of him actually peeing on his head!

So that's my story, hope you liked it. I laughed hard when I saw it for the first time in 4 and a half years. If it made you smile, mission accomplished.

Good night WOs.

Wtf did I just read?

You're welcome, I just hope it looks as cool as it sounds. And that the things that actually matters in daily use actually is there and works. Like a cleaning function for the headlights that actually cleans them, and enough cup holders, and the possibility to install a light ramp, and a good heating system.

And the mayor of your biggest city is a muslim.

So what? AFAIK, Sadiq Khan has been doing a superb job for a while now. You can never completely eliminate all the crimes when your population is close to ten million. Roll Eyes
So you have literally surrendered to Islam. Quite aside from the rape rings that have been going on for DECADES. That sort of thing doesn't happen for that long with cops who are afraid to be called racists without some very high level people involved. Your supposed leaders are traitors and the people are idiots.

Your point ain't making much sense to me. Mayors are elected to make the overall infrastructure better, which includes the improvement of the system of transport, housing, policing, etc. If a Muslim mayor is able to handle all this in a good manner, why the hell should anything else (including religion) even matter?

You can never trust a muslim, the koran gives them the right to lie and manipulate any and all infidels in order to promote islam.

Good morning, WO,s ready for another assault in 11K, we will try again.

I expect the real deal to happen tomorrow after the banks open.
Will it be FOMO or it will be a dump/cash out? Will we go under 10k or to 14k?

Any "realistic" bet?

Why would a dump/crash not show until Monday? A sell is immediate, getting the cash out might take a day or two, but the sale has already been done. A buy on the other hand cant be made until the cash reaches the exchange.
So a dump would have shown already, but a pump will not show until Monday or Tuesday.

“Computer says no” bullshit.

You CAN'T have multiple people depositing  into your account with no official paperwork associated. Heck, you CAN'T even regularly deposit substantial amounts of cash into your account by YOURSELF without proper explanation. It is the way it is.

doesn't mean it's not bullshit

Definitely bullshit.

Like in Sweden where it's impossible to deposit cash into half the banks.

Quote
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/innovation/sweden-s-push-to-get-rid-of-cash-has-some-saying-not-so-fast-1.3711076

About half of Sweden’s 1,400 bank branches no longer accept cash deposits.

“It’s more or less impossible, because the banks refuse to take cash,” she said.

WTF

Can a swede put his own cash money into his own bank? Computer says no.

True, but they are loosing a lot of clients to the banks that still handle cash.
I changed to Forex Bank several years ago. They are both a bank and a forex, they handle not only Swedish cash but all major currencies, they are also open seven days a week. The one I use open 07:00 and closes 18:00 on weekdays, somewhat earlier during the weekend. And there is an other one in town that is open 07:00 to 20:00 seven days a week.
That's better than any bank I have ever used before. All services including internet banking and bank/Visa card cost 2 USD a month. Until last April it was free of charge, and I get 0,35% interest.
They do ask questions when I deposit cash, but they all do that, it's the new EU anti money laundering rules, there is no bank that doesn't do that. But they do it in a nice and friendly manner.
Also no problem withdrawing your money, no questions asked, and you can deposit them back, no questions asked if you go to the same office and bring the receipt from the withdrawal.

If you study the charts and the confirmed data you can clearly see that this marks the end of the short-term, irrational up-trend. We've resumed bitcoin's downtrend. Like I said earlier, $15k is likely unobtainable (on any time-scale). Bitcoin will never set ATHs again. Soon it'll be clear enough to everyone in the market. 2017 was bitcoin's last big move. The downtrend will hold. By 2020 $10k bitcoins will be a dream. 2021, $1k. By the end of that decade bitcoin will be a hilarious memory.

I have in the past wondered what I would do if I had to take a drug test, and I have come to the conclusion that I would give them two choices, either I pee in the cup (just to prove I'm not on drugs) and then i quit, or they trust me and I stay on.

Had a look into proudhon’s posting history. He’s a butt hurt early adopter who sold everything way, way, way too early. He could have been incredibly wealthy but sold everything for pittance.

Evidence -



I believe roach has a similar story too (selling way early when it was $600) but Since I don't  care enough to read his posts I am not going to dig it.



I don't think Proudhon is as poor as he wants us to think.

Those are beautiful but I already had my eye on another  Wink Agreed about Patek Phillippe, I am aiming for a smaller case.
Oooooh! What are you looking at?

For classic wristwatches nothing will beat a 1950's Hamilton Ventura or Pacer for incredible style. The Van Horn is very nice and traditional, and these are smaller than the new watches so they fit better on my wrist.

I am looking at the Nomos Glashütte Tangente. Not quite in the same price range as the ones you have mentioned but a reliable everyday dress watch (which is what I’m looking for - more of a starter piece). At least that’s what the research I have done suggests Smiley

I like watches too, but I have a hard time finding anything nice in the higher price ranges.
As a matter of fact, the coolest looking watches I have found have all been in the 15 USD range at Aliexpress and the likes, and i have also bought plenty of those and I where them every now and then.
The exception is the Bell & Ross watches. I like this one https://www.thewatchsource.co.uk/Bell-and-Ross/BR03-92+Heritage+Ceramic.html and this one https://www.jomashop.com/bell-and-ross-mens-watch-br0392-ceram-mil.html

My every day watch however, is a 25 dollar Casio digital with illuminated dial. I've used it for work for over twenty years, I have run over it with a lorry and smashed it against an uncountable amount of things uncountable times, and it still works perfectly, and it is low weight and comfortable to wear. I still wear it as my every day watch.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you about my coolest watch. It's a Pulsar P4 Classic (gold filled), it shows the time in red digits when you flick your wrist or press a button. The "flick your wrist function" is a small tube with a small amount of mercury that flattens out momentarily when you flick the wrist and creates contact between the contact points at the ends of the tube, thus closing the circuit for a short time. https://www.pinterest.se/pin/287386019942888290/

At first I too disliked that distorted chart, it's trying to make the matrix fit your narrative.
But after giving it some thought, wasn't 2016 just one long wait to see if bitcoin was dead or not?
When, in 2017, it was clear that bitcoin was very much alive things took of.
This time around we don't need the 2016 wait, no one thinks bitcoin is dead any more and we can go straight to the next bull run. If so the compressed chart would actually make some sense.

With $13,000 as the new psychological barrier to the bull run, anything below it now is bear territory, and bulls will need to stay on their toes. However, if a deeper correction follows here, it could be considered extremely healthy for the first ever crypto asset.

What is it with you n00bs and your obsession with corrections.
Every time bitcoin goes down a dollar you all start screaming about "healthy corrections".
Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the ride.

You sold the dip?  Roll Eyes

Noobs. Sigh.

my average sell price was 13057.   I was  expecting a sell off, the alt coins were dumping and i figured this was keeping bitcoin price artificailly high as they are mostly paired to bitcoin.  Decided to sell most of my stash.

Could be a wrong choice but, I will look at it again next week just think this needs time to cool off a little.  

If you buy back right now you might be forgiven, otherwise you will never be a hat bearer.

I don’t look at the $ price or ‘charts’. But the sentiment is not different at all.

Yes it is, last time we had two years of dispare and "bitcoin is dead"  There has been nothing of that at all this time around. Everybody was agreeing that bitcoin was just in a dump and would recover again, no one thought it was dead. There was no real fear and capitulation this time.
Spellcheck tells me "dispare" is wrong, but wont give me an alternative, so live with it.

Just saw the anti bitcoin Trump tweets. I’m surprised the price didn’t dump due to weak hands, I guess it just shows us that the market has matured so much. A couple of years ago that tweet would have made the price crash 30% or something.

Keep HODLING gentlemen!

Nobody is expecting Trump to say he is a fan of Bitcoin and is going to buy some  Grin The fact he is tweeting about it with a negative tone is actually a good advertise. Not many people like Trump in USA and especially abroad. And even his fans are aware of his economic ignorance. On the other hand, what the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said, comparing Bitcoin with gold as a store of value, has a much bigger  significance. In short: he is an expert, while Trump is a n00b. Everyone knows it  Grin

Weekly shot of MTX?

Dont know what MTX is, but no.
My knee has an inflammation and is swollen, so the doctor punctured it and sucked out all the yellow/brownish goo from it (there is a syringe full of it beside the leg, he's on the second one when I took the picture) and then he injected cortisone. I have to do this every couple of years or so. So far it has worked every time.

No sterile field.
No obvious cleansing/disinfecting agent.
No personal protection equipment for the provider.( used to keep provider safe but also to keep infective agents from being transferred to patient.)

I am not saying this is malpractice.  Dr’s are so risk adverse in the US that all of the above would be mandated.  If they were not used and an infection ensued would easily be considered malpractice. (In the US). Medicine practiced this way is significantly less expensive than if this same procedure would be done in the US.

The white paper cloth under the knee and all the equipment is sterile, the doc washed his hands and then soaked them in alcohol before the procedure, the knee and surrounding areas was washed with alcohol before the procedure.
I worked at a hospital in my youth and i must say that this is standard procedure both then and now.

I wasn’t trying to demean the care you received.  Yours is a perfectly acceptable method.

In the US alcohol prep is not considered an effective agent at creating a sterile field.  Accessing a joint space like your knee is held to a higher standard of reduced microbial transfer compared to say a blood draw or iv start.  An infection in a joint space is much more difficult to treat.

I actually wish treatment was more like you received since it would greatly reduce the cost of health care in the US.  The patients just look at a medical outcome that is not perfect as a lottery ticket in the US.

No worries, i didn't take it that way, just clarifying what was going on in the picture.
Infection in a joint is indeed a pain (pun intended) to treat. Come to think of it, I think it was treated with both klorhexidin and alcohol.

Any of y'all ever get the uncanny feeling like the world -- the entirety of it -- has been created and scripted for the sole purpose to gauge how you yourself will react to it?

When I was a kid, very young - yep.  I had a phase where I was convinced people (and things) only existed when I could see them. That is, that when someone left the the room, they disappeared.  It was all show, put on for me.

I think most people feel that at some point, mostly as kids. I had the feeling everything was a play, like a TV series and everybody around me was just acting. Like that movie, "Truman show" or something like that I think it was called.

"With the introduction of the bill, residents of the country can exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency without the transaction being subjected to VAT. "

Ok, who wants to move to Tbilissi ?





Alright if you speak Russian or Georgian because English is not common, and writing looks like this


Russian doesn't get much love though, and millennials do not speak it generally. The Georgians are friendly and welcoming. The food is good, and they have wine. Well, something that resembles wine anyway.

BTW @Ibian, relax. It's not like Syria yet.

It's not been subjected to VAT in the EU for a couple of years now. So if that's all you are after, you might as well move to the EU.

This document is fresh from the press, it's not yet availible in english för som odd reason, but if you can read any of the other 17 langugeses that it comes in it is very interesting.
In short, one of the Swedish  high courts has asked the European court for advice on where Europe stands on taxing the exchange of bitcoin to fiat and vice versa. This in turn because a Swedish citizen appealed a decision from the Swedish tax authorties on paying tax for the exchange of bitcoins he is doing in his company.
The european advocat general Juliane Kokott suggests as a verdict that bitcoin should be regarded as a currency and not be taxed. The court usually go with the advocat generals suggestions.

They will start a 2-year project to test an e-currency, named "E-krona", which may become the future standard in sweden.

The Riksbank has no plans to stop issuing cash, and just about every store accepts them.
It is how ever true that they are planning an experiment with a E-krona, but that is done in order to take back the issuing of digital money from the banks, and also provide citizens that dislike banks with a state owned alternative.
Citizens will be able to open free bank accounts provided by the Riksbank.
At least that whats being planned.

PS. Riksbank=Swedish central bank.

Really? It was better?

That is an uncommon occurrence that a sequel is better.

I think the only one I can remember is Aliens just because Bill Paxton was brutally funny. Cheesy




There are a few not many but still there are a few

Best sequels??

Terminator judgement day .....?

Gonna think this one through when I have a clear mind ( but T2 was a clear call)

I'm surprised that they never made a sequel on "Deliverance".
And I have also noticed that kids today uses references from the movie without even knowing they're from the movie. They talk about banjo music and hog squealing but no idea where it's from.

I've never watched it, I was not quite old enough at the time. I remember having to bug my mother for weeks to go see Jaws and boy was that a mistake. Smiley

But I never admitted that to her! Cheesy

It's a good movie still, it has aged well.
Just watch it this evening, I'm sure you can stream it from somewhere.

Stamp chart is used for the bitmex price. (one of them) I saw a few times a huge manipulation on the bitstamp because it's easier to crash or pump the market and liquidate longs or shorts on the leverage exchange.

Are you seriously proposing that we reopen negotiation on the Vegas accords of 2015?

Do you have any idea what a can of worms that would be?

I really don't know what are you talking about and why do you have such a problem with my chart.

We have an understanding in this thread, that we only use Bitstamp prices.

Climate alarmist Michael Mann outed as a fraud.
Short version below.

"Mann sued Ball for libel in 2011. Principia Scientific now reports that the court in British Columbia has dismissed Mann’s lawsuit with prejudice, and assessed costs against him."

"Some years ago, Dr. Tim Ball wrote that climate scientist Michael Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.” At issue was Mann’s famous “hockey stick” graph that purported to show a sudden and unprecedented 20th century warming trend. The hockey stick featured prominently in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report (2001), but has since been shown to be wrong."

"What happened was that Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense. He argued that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it. Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case."

"The logical inference is that the R2 regression analysis and other materials, if produced, would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part."

It would be a nice irony if the outcome of Brexit was a break up of Great Britain with Scotland achieving independence and Northern Ireland joining Ireland while England and Wales stay in the EU.  

But when you play with matches, sometimes shit catches on fire, yo.

The true irony would be Scotland leaving the UK "because independence" and then joining the EU.

That's what they would want. The majority voted to remain.

All the talk of Churchill, 'winning' and 'taking back control' has been English. The English have saddo delusions of prior glory. Scotland wants to be small and prosperous. They've consistently aligned themselves more with Scandinavia.

Scotland has always been more intrinsically European. They actually like French people for starters.

No what I'm saying is when the UK is sovereign and can control it's borders only one party is the one forced to have borders that being Ireland and it's not by their choice possibly but by the EU.

There is no need for a border wall between EU and non EU countries. Denmark joined EU long before Sweden and we had tonally open borders back then, and Norway is not a member of the EU and we have totally open borders between Norway and Sweden.

They're part of the European Single Market today so it's not a problem. The UK aims to leave the single market.

It's been like that since 1952 regardless of the different countries various and changing affiliations and memberships, and long before any single market.
The point is that it is neither unheard of nor hard to keep an open border. All you need is a will to do so.

I agree, but unfortunately impossible to upgrade due to the fixed fully automated canon.
Putting in a new and bigger canon would need a totally new vehicle, whereas a tank with a turret can just fit a new turret.
Thus it slowly became obsolete as the Russians started putting new and upgraded tanks with better armour and bigger canons in service.

Sorry I don’t understand.   Can you explain it a different way?

If there is a border there needs to be guards on both sides of the border? Both on Northern Irish side and Irish side?  





What I am saying is once the UK is NOT a part of the EU they are again able without any other countries input allowed to do there borders. They may not WANT a physical border with Ireland and Ireland MAY NOT want a physical border with Norther Ireland. This would normally mean the two countries agree and there is no Physical border needed.

The possibility is the EU says NO, Ireland we want you to have a physical border with them since they are not an EU member.

Ireland and the UK(Post Brexit) both have a physical border they don't want due to an rules from a group of other nations.

Ireland could only blame themselves for having a physical border if they are the ones putting it up.

Ok.  Let’s suppose in this new world England has a tax on cigarettes of £5 per packet and the EU has a tax of €1 per packet.

Do you really think that the UK would allow anyone to load up a lorry full of cigarettes in Dublin and drive it to Belfast and then on a ferry to Scotland?  Do you really believe that ?

Keep in mind that cigarette smuggling is said to be a major source of terrorist financing.

There are a lot of things that are differently taxed in Sweden and Norway, And the Norwegians do smuggle a lot of things to Norway from Sweden, but that is counteracted with spot checks and cameras. Open borders with no wall doesn't mean you are aloud to freely move goods, just people.

Again, irrelevant.   The Common Market started in 1958. 

Some members of this forum act we are still living in the 1950s, but the rest of the world has moved on.
So what, Sweden and Norway joined at different times, yet always had an open border. When the common market started is irrelevant, what is relevant is that you can have one country in the common market and one outside and still have an open border as demonstrated by the Nordic countries.

Never used snow socks.
I always use winter tyres (M+S) during winter months and on snow. Put on chains on serious ice on the road or steep climbs.


I use studded tires in the winter, I only use the socks if I get stuck. But just in case, I do have chains in the trunk too.

The UK wants to leave the EU as it feels special, and wants to become some kind of Ayn Randian utopia where anything goes.

Communism/ socialism has definitely gained popularity among the younger crowd.  Doesn't take a math genius to look at where all the new productivity gains are going to, heres a hint: its not going to hourly workers on the bottom the totem pole.  Wealth disparity is similar to what it was in the gilded age.

Wealth disparity is not the worst thing...historical forces that typically remove the disparity are much more disagreeable.
I am reading a book that systematically looked at what reduces inequality..and turns out only major wars and deadly pandemics (plaque in medieval Europe) were able to temporarily reduce inequality.

All societies "naturally'" trend toward increasing inequality in relatively peaceful conditions (over centuries).


It's called pareto distribution.

It does not give an answer to what is right and what is wrong and/or what is preferable and what it not.
It simply described what happened and when.
To your first statement: No, the disparity does not steadily increase. It increased for a few centuries, correct, then decreased between 1930-1940 (following WWI/WWII combo, separated by just 20 years) until 1975-1980, then steadily increased again until now.
To your second statement: yes, there not many instances where the poor move several strata in one generation.

Unless there's an online free / pdf / bootleg version of it somewhere, then you can let me know.

But let's not forget, its just one book from one author - and it is socio-economics, something that is very hard to predict, even when using past data as example.

Think of what happened during the black plague. I remember reading some charts about the economic impact it had on the wealthy vs poor, if I find it I'll stick it here.

I found it to be dirty unmodern and crowded.
And the IRA bombed our hotel, luckily we had just left or I probably would have died.
I have not been back since.
But I did enjoy the Tower and the colt 45 air gun that I bought.

I was in London yesterday for the first time this year to check the Stanley Kubrick exhibition before it closes.

Much of this summer has been spent on islands with populations of 10-1000 people so I found it more than a little disorientating. I sat on a bench for 10 minutes and watched more people go past than I've seen in an entire year.



Well, at least nobody bombed your bench.

We will never go below $9000 ever again, ever. No golden retrace coming, when bitcoin did a golden retrace in past bull market, it didn't take 80+ days to do it, it happened with a week or so.

That is bold prediction since we are nto taht far away from it.  I totaly agree with you that we cant go that much lower as we are now, but less then 10% drop is totally posible. There is maybe even more then 50% chance that it wil happen.

We will definitely go below $9,000 again. And soon.

Oh, get a hat will you.

I pointed out years ago that at ten minute intervals, interplanetary mining is a non-starter.

Wouldn't be a problem within our lifetimes. Like that article implies, there will be a Mars Coin, maybe a Jupiter Coin, and a SolarSystemCoin. If we manage to invent faster than light communication, then 10 minute blocks would be fine and everyone would still be using bitcoin in this galaxy.

If the falling wedge pattern stays here for the next week, the breakout can bring a new momentum in the crypto markets. Wedge trading is my favorite type of trading but the volatility of the Bitcoin price makes me emotional. The bad sides of the emotional trades will take a huge percentage of my crypto balance but the only way to trade the daily charts is to consider these disadvantages. Just my 2 Satoshis.

Seriously though, I bought the dip for the third time this year and accumulated more. I expect more dipping w 9k rekkt and I will continue to accumulate all the way down in the event we make it to 7k, 6k, and even 5k if that somehow happens.

This is Bitcoin so we know its all possible. Whatever happens in the next 90 days will Im sure be the last great chance for cheap coins for several years so wipe your tears, refrain from attacking people that were or are short term bearish and instead focus your efforts on backing up the truck and filling those bags boyz.

(depressed Fatty cunt tard alter ego eating away the Big Blocker Blues pic)

Just make sure there's any dip to dip in or you'll run out of chicken when the real dip comes.



Ahhh Fatty lecturing on the discipline of dip buying but cant help but making a food eating metaphor I see Wink

Thanks for the concern. I bought with everything I owned the real dip in 2014 and 15 and still hold the vast majority of those coins, buying dips now is a petty sideshow to kill time at this point, Im over 95 percent net worth in King Bitcoin. Big blockers never tricked me out of my riches and into shitcoins Cheesy

Why are you calling me fatty, asswipe?

I haven't talked to you before. Nor have I been talking about alts lately.

The only one bitching about big blocks anymore is JJG and he's on ignore.



Are you retarded(I mean beyond the typical big block shitcoin delusions)? You talked to me right here in this quote above. Thought you had thicker skin fatty.

Ill call a dim-witted cunt like you whatever I want whenever I want as often as I want so you can eat a few twinkies to feel better if need be Cheesy You still bitch about big blocks, no sense in lying about it. JJG has never been a big blocker.

wut? of course I talked to you above...do you understand the concept of "before"?

No, JJG is not a big blocker, but he brings up the subject all the time. How can this be so hard for you to understand?

There's another Rambo movie? He must be like, what, 80 now, he's a Vietnam vet ffs.

Fun fact: Rambo is actually the name of an apple, the author thought it sounded cool and named his character after it.
The apple originated in Ramberget in Sweden and was brought to New Sweden, now Delaware, by Peter Gunnarsson in 1639. He started growing apples over there and named one of the apples Rambo after Ramberget.
The original trees died in a particular hard winter in the 1700s, but has since been reintroduced from the USA to Sweden.

7200-7450 is major support zone (vwap, fib, cme gap, htf support).

If this breaks we are officially rekt.


Edit:

Btw. Personally I believe 7k's is the bottom and thus long now.

On htf we can also see a hidden bullish divergence forming.

I suspect we'll see a spike below, just to freak us out.

Western politicians need to get off their ass and stop fighting about coal before the Chinese build the global network and dominate the global energy industry.

It is shameful that China is already the global leader in clean energy.

Just call that raw meat "steak tartare" and you become a stuckup, white-wine-drinking card-carrying member of the liberal elite.


Can you just liquefy it?

Well yes, at very high pressures.

The current (type IV, the type V tanks are experimental) tanks hold it at 700bar, that is 10,000psi...  ...
I started wondering what it would take to liquefy and store elemental hydrogen
according to the wikipedia liquid hydrogen page,
"To exist as a liquid, H2 must be cooled below hydrogen's critical point of 33 K."
So you can't store and ship liquid hydrogen on an industrial scale.
I read somewhere that current research and development aims to store hydrogen by infusing it into other materials, I don't remember what exactly, but maybe a polymer or something.

In other news,

I think you might be misinformed, there are hydrogen gas stations in Norway and other places in Europe for hydrogen cars. One of them exploded due to a an incorrectly mounted plug in a high-pressure storage tank and they are, as far as I know, closed for the moment. But they are out there.  Toyota planned to sell around runt 20 Mirai hydrogen cars in Norway this year, but the plans are on hold for the moment.

If I have a religion, it is my belief in the immutability of the laws of thermodynamics.  I believe they apply beyond the material plane.

There is no free lunch.  All equations will balance.  Joy has no meaning without sorrow.

Any attempt to circumvent pain will be ultimately futile.  Attempting to borrow happiness from the future is ill advised.

So you are saying that one should hit oneself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when one stops?

This is literally something almost every civilicised human does.
So i guess he meant that knowing (even remembering) that it hurts brings joy by becoming aware how good it feels NOT to hit yourself in the head.
Right?

I disagree. Of course you can feel joy without first feeling pain.
The receptors/signaling substances that make you feel good are not depending on the receptors/substances for negative feelings to work. (if you see what I mean, I simplify)
It's two different things.
I very seldom feel bad, and when i do it's all natural feelings, like when I think of my first cat that died 15 years ago, those memories still bring a tear to my eyes. But I feel quite joyful a lot of times. Most of the times however is a just a normal state of  wellbeing or inbetween or whatever you want to call it.

EDIT: no, civilized citizens do not gather in groups and hit each other in the head, nor do they do it in the privacy of their own home, at least not in my country, if they do in your's please post video.

That's what bitcoin does folks - what you're not expecting.

New ATH around 2023, 2024, just at long term log charts have been predicting. Time between peaks increasing as marketcap increases.


Super bearish but... intriguing. If that would be the case I could buy new loads of ammo.


Nobody except some true HODLers are expecting 50-100-200 or 300K a coin as well so going that high will be very unexpected for the world as well....

As most of the NO-coiners or people not knowing BTC are exactly expecting low prices or failure...

So sky high prices will be the unexpected Cheesy

Now go and troll some rookie-newbie threads or something, in here people like you has no voice

It seems like it. Kinda weird.

It's pretty bad form to do something like that in any other part of society.

It's the kinda thing journalists and academics get booted for.

The WO thread has 500k posts. It's a little internet marvel.

Rewriting its history should be a big deal.

And that's what you're doing if you hijack the first post without making it clear that adamstgbit is its creator.


Edit:

No one cares about your opinion Fatman

Indeed I’m letting it go, no use in an endless dumb discussion

I just know we all like infofront !

Jesus Christ! What are you? 5 years old?

Anyone who wants to know, adam gave up his account, forum admins concluded that this thread was difficult to administer and closed down the thread.  after complaints from forum members, theymos agreed to reopen the thread with a new thread owner that was voted upon by forum member (largely already active WO participants to my recollection).. accordingly, infofront has carried out a very laudable nearly non-interventionist approach that seems to carry out the spirit of the thread in a way that might have even been playing out better than the original version.  Go Figure!!

Yep, just to add to that, the reason the first post was changed wasn't a FU to Adam, but was simply a pragmatic decision because there was no other way to easily change the thread moderation. If anyone has a problem with that, then download the source code for SMF and code a workaround...

A small sentence in the first post saying that adamstgbit was the original thread starter is all that it takes to rectify the problem. Not doing so suggests that there is something horribly wrong with either infofront or bitcointalk.org as a whole.

Edit:

Or just fuck off from here because nobody sane would give a fuck about Adam? Seems much simpler than your proposal.

The russians have nuclear subs that are designed to stay submerged during a nuclear war, resurface after 6 months and kill what remains.

 Good point.  Also, there's that petition at Change.org for him.  My suggestion was really to prevent Arriemoller from wearing out his F, C, K, T, A, O, U and sometimes Y keys prematurely.  I'm 99.9% sure he's got German engineered Cherry MX mechanical keyswitches anyway.  They can take a pounding.


If you guys think I'm giving him too much attention just let me know and I'll stop.

But until then, fuck you Fatty!


 No, this is fine.  What we wont tolerate is feelings of melancholia and nostalgia.

Hmm, Infofront (I think) deleted some of my "Fuck you Fatty" posts, wonder why?


Actually, I didn't touch them. It could've been Dabs or someone else.

Ok, thanks for the info. DABS! Why did you do it?

Then who did? And why? It was so beautiful, WHY, why, *sob*.

One needs a good deal of darmklachten to put up with this verlakkerij.

Haha if someone knows what  V8 is meaning in here, would be impressive ......... Be quiet Hairy.

verlakkerij = fuckery iirc

darmklachten = Huh - unsure but its probably another word worth learning.

darmklachten sounds like (darmwinde) gut farts in german Smiley

in german: "pupsen" (softer) / "forzen" (more rude)

EDIT: "r0ach ist ein kleiner Furz" means "r0ach is very less important"
Verlakkerij looks Dutch.
Google Translate detects darmklachten as Dutch for intestinal complaints.  Roach's fuckery gives you indigestion?  But Google translates the German "darm lachten" as "guts laughed", so maybe darmklachten really means belly laugh?
Google Tran says Furz is German and it means fart.  Roach is a little fart.  
And I think to fart is furzen, not forzen.

sorry, i did misunderstood it a bit.  Grin

"darmklachten" is in german "Darmbeschwerden". a real man has this all the time and the result is he "muß forzen" all the time.

EDIT: but "verlakkerij" google translate it to "paint shop" which is in german "Lackiererei" in which cars will get a new color for example. I'm not getting the connection to "intestinal complaints"  Huh  because of the bad air within a paint shop? i don't know.

EDIT2: maybe it is a inside joke of some WO gang members at their last gang meeting.  Grin

Verlakkerij has been explained here once before, apparently it has to do with dutch con artists putting lacquer on coins to make them look golden and then selling them. and that's how the term Verlakkerij originated, it means to fool or con someone if I remember correctly.

bedrog:  bedrog plegen bedriegerij, begoocheling, fopperij, misleiding, verlakkerij boerenbedrog, gezichtsbedrog, huwelijksbedrog, kiezersbedrog, koopmansbedrog

To his defense Indian subcontinent has more than 30 + official languages ( Main languages : Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Dari,Pashto, Sinhala,Gorkhali etc)  and not counting thousands of other dialects.

 I did investigate asian languages for the pronunciation of Vodka as well and half are pronounced Vodka (except where there is no vee sound and then it is replaced by a bee or a you sound).  The other half are using a word that sounds like arak... except for Armenian -oghi- which is just out there on its own - whichever Armenian coined that word must have had a very bad experience with Vodka.  In all honesty, I was just trying to be funny but I got a little carried away with my research.




The Swedish word for vodka is actually "brännvin" litteraly "burnt wine", burnt being an older word for distilled.
Vodka have kind of crept in and taken over the last 30 years.

One of the most popular "vodkas" in sweden is "absolut rent brännvin" meaning "absolutely clean vodka" usually just called "renat" meaning cleaned.
In the 80s a export version was made and exported as "Absolut vodka", in Sweden sold in parallel with the old brand. As time went by the name on the original bottles was changed to "Renat brännvin" With the word vodka under.
So vodka is slowly replacing the old word.

Original bottle http://img.xooimage.com/files40/d/0/d/rent3-1b58483.jpg older version http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H152OaaJl1Q/URTni1HiMaI/AAAAA

Current bottle https://tommyhansson.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/images-

Export version  https://www.drinko.se/absolut-vodka.html

Different bottles from different periods next to each other. It's been sold under that name for 150 years now.

Afaik from installing and managing other message boards, there should be privileged views of the same modlog where higher level users can see who did what. So either an admin is reading this and reveals the mod, the mod itself does it or some user having private contact to admin/mods finds out and sends pm to Ariemoller.
But i regards this of less importance than adding a comment field to the modlog, where a short note about the reason for deletion can be written by the mod/admin that deleted a thread/message/user.

Yes; I agree. I care more about the why then who.
If I broke any rules, just tell me so and what rule and I will stop breaking the rule. If not, then stop deleting my posts.
My curiosity as to who is mostly due to me being under the assumption that only Infofront and his minions could delete in this thread.

How much lacking of common sense can you show with your ongoing emotional expressions of sensitivities?

Getting deleted is NOT as BIG of a deal as you are making it out to be, and there are actual forum rules about contributing substance, which your "fuck you" related posts or whatever other mere attention whoring don't achieve in any common sensical understanding of the contribution concept.  

Furthermore, ongoing complaining about forum rules and moderation as they are being applied to you is a kind of breach of the rules in itself.  Have you ever heard about that concept?  

I mean I understand a little complaining here and there about forum rules or whatever and maybe even wanting to assert that theymos is a dweeb or something like that (I am actually not asserting that) , but you are coming off as maniacally obsessed with largely trivialities (I.e your wishing for your largely stupid-ass repetitive non-substantive "fuck you" related posts to NOT be deleted) and discretionary administrative determinations.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes     Tongue

Good news YangGang. Our outspokenly pro Bitcoin/Crypto future President Andrew Yang has regained 3rd place again in Democratic Nomination betting markets.

He was briefly overtaken by Hillary Clinton and put into fourth as she stirred up speculation that she will run again. However Yang has conquered her and Biden and Warren are next on the hit list.

https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nomination

Trumps prospects look dimmer by the day as his own homies Foxnews have released a poll saying 51 percent of Americans back Impeaching and removing him from office. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-record-support-for-trump-impeachment

Whoever is the Dem nominee will likely be the 46th pres imo and imo that man is Andrew Yang. We can expect the debates to get unprecedented ratings as people realize how vulnerable Trump is. As America turns its gaze towards Yang he will surge in popularity as he exposes the other candidates as too old, too out of touch, or too much of a corporate whore.

It's pretty simple really.
Anyone who knows economics 101 can predict the long term price of bitcoin. If demand is bigger than supply the price will go up, and it is and has been ever since it was invented.
Short term however, it is impossible to predict, You can surf Elliot waves and walk Fibonacci lines and walk around with your head in Ichimoku clouds all day.
Sometimes you will be right, but most of the times you won't.

The EU parliament already accepted the proposed deal, just as the Brit parliament did today. Now they just play over another delay. Which Barnier and Stuka Juncker and Verafstoot said they would not allow. (According to Boris the wolf). What will happen is : nothing. Brexit will only happen when the whole Brussels am Berlin shithouse goes down in flames. Caused by troubles in their PIGS low wage tourist resorts. Meanwhile, we wil continue to be trampled around in Brexshit.

Well, if they won't allow a delay, then 31 it is.

OR, they are holding and reeducating muslim terrorists and potential terrorists to safeguard the people.
Unlike the western democracies who cuddle them and let them in to their countries so they can commit terrorist acts against us.

So you don't believe someone has the right to live the life they were born into in the country they were born into? It's not as if they're sudden frothing converts and out of the average 1 million people of any type only a tiny and pathetic handful will be terrorists.

Religion is a choice, if your religion is a potential hazard to the public then I'm ok with that religion being controlled or even banned.
You can't tell in advance who of that 1 million tiny and pathetic handful will be terrorists.

I feel that about all hazardous religions by the way, not just muslims.

I'm also well aware that China is a communist dictatorship and I'm not in favor of that.
But sometimes the reporting is a little to one sided for my taste.
Organ harvesting I do believe is a real thing in Chinese prisons and camps, I have heard a lot about that lately actually, and that I'm of course opposed, but I'm not for freedom of religion.

That is just one of those pc things that was imported from the USA, we didn't have freedom of religion until the 50s in Sweden and it wasn't until the 70s that catolics where allowed to open convents and that worked just fine, And I know it was not that different in the UK.

Freedom from religion I'm all for however.

EDIT: pk to pc.

The Uighurs weren't born terrorists. They were born nomads. Most of them are harmless people living in nearby countries, where their ethnicity is just one ingredient in a fairly tolerant, diverse mix. Those who were "trapped" in China got the stick. It's easy to understand that some might have gotten a bit vocal.

Djingis Khan and his hordes weren't born terrorists. They were born nomads.
And of course the muslim neighboring countries don't have problems with the muslim Uighurs, they are already converted.
It's the Chinese that's targeted for conversion to Islam by force that's facing the problem now.

China wants to cleanse the whole Xinjiang region from ethnic minorities and replacing them with Han Chinese by committing barbaric atrocities.

I don't see France ore England rounding up muslims just to prevent terror attacks.

You should read the entire article to get a beter view of the situation.

I have read the article, it was in a Swedish paper not that long ago, and i have seen versions of it in other places since.
Of course they aren't trying to replace all Uighur with Han in the Sinkiang region (yes, that's how I spell it, I'm that old, I also say Rhodesia, Burma and Ceylon, Königsberg Danzig and Stettin, Calcutta, Peking and you get the picture, that's how conservative I am). They are just trying to scare the shit out of them with some questionable methods.

As I am not a programmer nor expert in crypto, I have arrived at HODLing some 1% (of my net), the minimum that JJG suggests above.  1% is probably close to what I understand BTC to be.  Risks and rewards are both high.  1% is the right amount for me in that if BTC price craters, it changes very little for me.  If it climbs to a nice ATH, well great!  

If you're only willing to put 1% of your money in something, it's definitely not an 'investment'.  A high risk, pump and dump scam maybe, but only willing to risk 1% is not an investment.  To me the word investment implies you actually have confidence in what you're purchasing, and 1% is not confidence.  That would be gambling, not investing (from the relative viewpoint of the individual).  

Actually, according to my economics 101 class the only investment a private person can make is purchase of real estate, everything else is consumption.

You rent/lease real estate from the government.

Try not paying your "rent" some time and see if you own it.

Taxes?

I pay no tax to the state for my real estate, and even if I did it wouldn't mean it's not mine. It's not like they can take it from me for unpaid taxes unless there are no other way for the crown bailiff to get the money owed, and that is not in any way special to unpaid taxes, it's like that for any unpaid dept that anyone, private or public is asking the crown bailiff to collect.

Just looked that up, quite a long read. And yes, the UK does not charge an annual tax for property (land) like Austria (for example) does.

We limeys do pay Council Tax which is banded based on property value, however.

As do we swedes, max 780 USD per annum and some properties are exempt, like some agriculture land for example.

Sorry to hear that.
I had to put my 15 year old standard poodle down last week.
Most unpleasant.

Commiserations to both of you. What was it Arrie, a car accident?
15 is pretty good machasm for a big dog. so sorry.

So sorry to hear about your dog machasm.

A big thanks to all of you for the condolences, it's truly heartwarming.

To make a short story long.

16 years ago a small and hungry, but tame and human socialized cat appeared on my doorstep and wanted food.
I let him in and fed him, I would then let him sleep at my place when he was not out playing. This turned in to a ritual where he would go out in the morning when I woke up, and in the evening I would whistle and he would come home and eat/sleep.
One morning a female cat sat outside waiting for him, it turned out he had a girlfriend. The girlfriend was a bit afraid of humans, you could only get within about three meters before she started to retreat. I let her live in my garage. They were a true couple, something I have never seen in cats before. Every morning she would wait for him and they would go of and spend the day together, and part in the evening when he jumped in through my window.
One day, after about a year or so, the little male didn't come when I whistled, I don't know what happened to him but there are a lot of dangers for reckless cats in the country side, and he was a very reckless cat.

The female however stayed on and I would feed her in the garage daily. One cold winter day when I opened my window, she jumped up on the window sill, for some reason she had decided that I wasn't dangerous and decided to trust me, I let her in the warm house.
After about an hour or so she was again sitting on the window sill, meowing, asking to be let out. I let her out.
This too became a routine after a while, and after a couple of weeks I heard her meowe outside the window, and when I opened she introduced me to four black and white kittens, They had children.
She lived in my garage with her kittens during winter and spring, it was two females and two males, One cold day in February one of the males got run over by a car (I live just some 8-10 meters from a country road with 70km /h speed limit).

End of spring/early summer I persuaded a young woman who had and still have a horse in my neighbors stable to take two of the kittens, she took the two females.
By now she was used to be in my house, (the cat, not the woman) and one day I let the door stay open for a while, and she came walking in with the remaining kitten. After that moment they both lived in my house.
The remaining kitten was shy and a bit unused to humans, but as time went by he got used to me.
The female cat would go out in the morning and come back in the evening, just like her boyfriend before her.

She was a funny cat and liked to show of when I was outside with her. She would all of a sudden start climbing high trees and make long jumps and other stuff, sometimes she would give me dead mice, neatly placed in a row next to each other, she was a darling.
Unfortunately, after about a year, she too was run over.
Now only the kitten, who was now a cat teenager, remained.
I decided to keep him indoors, and he seemed just fine with that, he was lazy, overweight, a bit afraid of things and never showed any will to go outside.
The overweight started already when he was breastfeeding, long after the other kittens stopped feeding, he would remain sucking, and that was a pattern he kept up all his life.

14 years later I'm sitting upstairs by my computer reading the WO thread and I hear him making strange noises at the bottom of the stairs. I go and look and he is on his back kicking wildly, after a short while he calms down and lays still, breathing heavy. I pick him up and carry him in to my bed where he comes to and after a while hops down and carries on like nothing happened.
Some time before that he had started loosing weight, he would still eat, but he wasn't as eager as before.

I thought at first that he might have slipped and fallen down the stairs and hit his head, but two months later, when he was sleeping in my bedroom I'm awakened by the same noise, and there he is, having a seizure on the floor, it was short and he seemed alright afterwards. I thought that maybe it was just some residual damage from the slip in the stairs.
But as time went by, he would get a seizure about every month and the last month he started getting them every week, and then the last days daily, and that's when I realized that he probably had a brain tumor or something like that.
So I made arrangements, I loaded my Ruger 22 LR revolver, prepared a plastic box with a blanket and had my hearing protection near by.
By now, yesterday,  he had two seizures a day and I was sitting by the computer waiting for the next one (he was sleeping in my bed). Somewhere around two o clock in the night I hear the by now familiar sounds, I go in to the bedroom and holds him lightly while he kicks in the air, and when he stops kicking and starts going in to the unconscious faze that he has after the kicking and before waking up, I quickly put him in the box, carried him outside, put the gun to his head and fired twice.
He kicked wildly for a short while and then it was all over.
I took him in and cleaned him up a bit and let the other two cats sniff him and understand that he was gone.
Today I have put him in a new plastic box witch will be his coffin.

We never really bonded, that cat and I, he was more like a room mate, but nevertheless we liked each others company, and he liked to jump up onto my bed and be rubbed on the belly when it was time to go to sleep, when I turned out the lights he would go and sleep in a cat basket or by the very end of my bed.

And that is the story about the cat named Ponken (little boy). He had a good life.

By the way, aliens abducted me today and stole happiness! An unusual incident happened tonight, during sleep I was used as a cash cow, a tube was inserted into the back of my head and it was taken out through my forehead, then the energy went in this direction for 10 seconds, the process was accompanied by telepathic conversations directly to the brain, the tone is not good, but and not an evil, purely consumer one. At this time, it was impossible to move or wake up, as soon as the process was completed I immediately managed to wake up, touched my head, there were no signs. It did not look like a dream, there were no differences from reality, especially since he was conscious with attempts to wake up. I fell asleep with overwhelming happiness, and woke up as after a booze, usually I wake up with an even higher degree of happiness;) Smiley Many years ago I read stories about abductions by aliens, everything was exactly like in these stories, because at once such an idea appeared

Told you guys were in the great long-term downtrend. There is no substantial up from here. Yeah, sure, it'll wobble around, but we are definitely witnessing the "slow" death of bitcoin. There is not going to be another all time high. No more sustained above $10k prices anymore. That's in the past. I know it sucks for a lot of you to hear this, but it's just done. Play the market if you want, play a long term low leverage short if you really want to make money, but bitcoin has run it's course. 2 years from now bitcoin will not be above $10k, that's guaranteed.

Proudhon! My favorite alpacka. The best counter indicator on this thread, it's up from here on. Thank you and get yourself a hat.

You can't argue taste, but it looks like an APC.
I wonder if APCs could be had, used.
I checked out model 3: it is certainly not worth the asking price ($42K) because the cabin is so small.
Model S is nice, but about twice the price of a midsize beemer.

I like APCs, yes they can be bought. Every now and then you see them for sale here in Sweden, mostly old KPs.

The halving is in 6 months Bossian, you’re either trolling or totally retarded if you think $4,000 is likely with a block reward halving imminent. That’s a 50% drop from here. It just isn’t going to happen.

Look at the price movements leading up to & following the previous block reward halvings.
You clearly have no idea what you’re doing or you’re trolling & I can’t figure out which.
 
Halving either won't have an impact, or it will but certainly not before 2 or 3 years. If only it was that simple, everyone would be making money with the halving coming soon. That's extremely simplistic to think this way.
I didn't say 4k for sure, but below 5k most probably next year.

It's exactly that simple, it's purely a question of supply and demand, economics 101.

Bitcoin explosion is in the air.

The volumes at Bakkt are broken almost daily. If we assume that the volume on a coin market cap is 90% fake and Bakkt represents true volumes, then Bakkt is now more than 1 percent of the total volume on market cap. Here Bakkt comes to the point that they need so many bitcoins that there will be a shortage on the market. It is only a quarter to two in the afternoon and the trade in America has yet to start and Bakkt is already at 10 million volume. Today or tomorrow, Bakkt will cover the 25 million bitcoins. That is equal to 1 / 8000th part. Enough to make the market explode. I expect the bitcoin to be at $ 25,000 within a month. Then another 50,000.
Now maybe. the moment to buy in

A friend just send me this true what’s app from one or other Belgian link, I don’t know (can’t provide) the true source, but what you thinking about this??

#hopium.....

That's presuming that, when they get their actual bitcoins, they all hodl. But most likely the majority sell their coins immediately, and so the coins enter circulation again.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Last day in the jungle for now.

The price has been bouncing nicely... currently $7330USD/$9740CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Hopefully we'll be back up over $9k and maybe even see 5 digits by year's end. I'll probably have to sell some coin before I come back down in early January.

One of the men that attacked the terrorist was a convicted murdered.  He slit the throat of a mentally disabled girl and left her body to rot in a forest.  He was out on day release. Family of the victim was not informed he was out of prison.  Not your traditional definition of hero.

In 2015 and 2016 the BTC price roughly doubled, I was counting on that to happen in 2019 and 2020 as well.
But then the early summer spike happened, and I said to myself, well maybe this time is different, there's no MtGox crash to keep us down and what not. But then we went back to normal, and it seems like we are gonna close the year with a doubling, roughly.
The moral of the story is, don't get fooled by the anomalies, stay with the long time trend.

The anomaly lasts for several years in this case. It means we should have been at $1750 in january 2018, 875 in 2017, 437 in 2016...

What are you talking about? We started the year on roughly 3000 USD and it looks like we are gonna end on 6000-7000 USD. I'm talking about 2019 and 2020 compared to 2015 and 2016, no other years.

I’ll explain.

The original tweet is bordering on white supremacist (in a mild sense). It implies that white males are a downtrodden race, which is a common claim of white supremacists.  They claim they are being downtrodden by the system to make excuses for their own inadequacies.  

I’m not intending on arguing the detail with you, simply explaining the context.  

Ok, I didn't know someone still saw things that antiquated way.
I mean, the fact is that white middle aged straight men are the most picked on category in the west.

Based on your comments i wonder if you sympathize with the attacker who killed 2 persons for no reason? You are against others who tried to prevent further killing? Killing innocent people and you're saying keep calm nothing to see here? Is this normal for you? Do you justify this behaviour from the attacker and blame people who try to prevent killing?

Interesting, you have no questions or surprise about the half kilo bag of coke the alleged hero is dumping, just a passive aggressive attack, about why I'm not keeping on point with the dumb down propaganda MSM narrative, pumped out to the Sheeple.

Conversing with you will be difficult because you're so dumb and boring and I'd rather watch paint dry, but hey I have time on my hand. Your jingoistic simplistic master race rhetoric is so last century, one could feel sorry for you.

Elon seems kinda dumb to me about the truck. The reason why the design is so edgy, is that the tough steel plates can't be bent or somehow formed in any way.
Like hardened cars for diplomats, he could have hidden the edgy enforcement beneath a curvy layer of common sheet metal.
This would have made the thing look really good, like in your renderings.

I disagree, the reason I and so many others love the truck is because of the edgy shape. If he changes that into a normal truck like shape then the reason to buy his truck disappears, then you can just buy any truck on the market, they all look the same, ugly.

I saw many tatoo photos here. WARNING! Be very carefull if you want a tattoo! Once your blood comes through your tattoo skin it becomes alive! So your symbol tatto is very important. Some of the symbols can have a good impact on you but most of popular tatoos don't! It's very important who creates your tatoo! In ancient times only highly respected priests created tatoos. Today every biker who listens to agressive satanic music can tatoo you. When your tatto becomes alive with your blood circulating through it's a newborn child and it has less impact. When it becomes older it gets stronger with more impact on your life.

But of course.

The monthly update:



Gentlemen, I think all of you will agree that after this overheated summer we had an interesting October. A so called Death Cross gave us some little excitement. This is how we know our old friend, the honey badger. Speaking of temperatures, it is already much too cold for October. What should one do in the house when everything is tidy and the laundry has been washed?

For my part, I thought last year a new job would be a good thing at least for the winter time (my old workplace was chilly and I knew the new one has a working furnace) and a way to accumulate more BTC. The goal was to accumulate a certain amount within a year. Unfortunately, I did not manage to accumulate the whole lot, the current bull started early. Well, I was still able to purchase 60% of the planned Satoshis and can confirm the heating in the new office works. Wink

And what's the moral of the story? Well, even if the weather is bad and the little bulls come out early, you can make the best out of this situation and enjoy the little things.

Have a nice November, Gentlemen! Smiley

The shape isn't edgy enough. I and so many others are waiting for a rhombicosidodecahedron. Anything less than that is just ugly sameness.

Apparently EMF exposure has increased 1 kvintiljon (nonillion in English? a one with 30 zeros) times since 1918.
That can't be good.
Edit: I think that should be 10 with 30 zeros, anyho a lot, as we commoners say.

Actually I deliberately chose a house far from any radiation sources when I moved to where I live now, I also always turn of my wifi when I don't need it, and I'm not getting any 5G phone, just to be on the safe side. Not that I have experienced any health effects from EMF, except from a mobile radar in the military once and that was my own fault, I by mistake got too close.
But then again, if prolonged low expouser causes cancer you won't know until it's too late, so better safe then sorry.

really? The idiot's whole argument is, i'm right and to prove me wrong you have to show me 50yrs of testing on humans. And then he'll state that it skips a generation so he'll want 100yrs of test cases. It's like Faketoshi claiming that private keys supposed to arrive by carrier in January, come jan31 he'll just come up with another reason to keep the fairy tale alive

"The idiot" said " Like I said, you keep trying to change the conversation and AVOID the subject of power lines because there actually has been research done there and the results show a correlation with cancer.  If EMF from powerlines can cause it, so can 5G."

And that is correct.

I don't get it, are you guys picking on the heroes who stopped the terrorist and if so, why?
What's nazi about wrestling down a muslim running around stabbing people?

One of the men that attacked the terrorist was a convicted murdered.  He slit the throat of a mentally disabled girl and left her body to rot in a forest.  He was out on day release. Family of the victim was not informed he was out of prison.  Not your traditional definition of hero.  

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/11/30/one-men-who-stopped-london-bridge-terrorist-is-convicted-murderer/


How does that make him a nazi, again?

If you are a hero or a villain is sometimes just a matter of time and place. Some of the guys in our prisons today would have been in the first row when plundering and pillaging Europe a thousand years ago, and they would have come home to Scandinavia as heroes with elevated status in their society.

Keep calm nothing to see here. All hero's carry carry half kilo bags of coke before they save the empire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8GWnwQAtn0&feature=youtu.be  
Based on your comments i wonder if you sympathize with the attacker who killed 2 persons for no reason? You are against others who tried to prevent further killing? Killing innocent people and you're saying keep calm nothing to see here? Is this normal for you? Do you justify this behaviour from the attacker and blame people who try to prevent killing?

Interesting, you have no questions or surprise about the half kilo bag of coke the alleged hero is dumping, just a passive aggressive attack, about why I'm not keeping on point with the dumb down propaganda MSM narrative, pumped out to the Sheeple.

Conversing with you will be difficult because you're so dumb and boring and I'd rather watch paint dry, but hey I have time on my hand. Your jingoistic simplistic master race rhetoric is so last century, one could feel sorry for you.
  

MERIT, you are an asshole, leave this thread or I will cut you.

WARNING! Guys before you kill yourselfs i just want you to know that we are all one! It's even proven with science. Our bodies are made from the atoms and atoms are made from the small particles made of moving energy. There is no border between your body and the rest of our space. Our world is an illusion and we can see only 1% of all things that exist. Human eyes are not the perfect tool to see. Even animals can see much more but still a very low procent. We are here in this world to reincarnate millions of times through the different roles, lifes, bodies to get experience and develop or consciousness. We can take only our experience with us through many reincarnations. That's why some people have different talents from their past lifes. It's stored in our so called junk DNA. Our universe is an experiment what would happen if...We are all one but the creator separated himself in small particles to experience himself or herself because the creator is everything that exists.

Firstly, we are not killing ourselves, we are killing each other.
Secondly, it's rather me killing him, or to be more exact cutting him, I never mentioned killing.
Thirdly, but out, this is none of your business.
Fourthly, stop with the new age nonsense, you sound like an idiot.

Anyone here knows someone who died and came back?  The reason why majority of you don't know much about this is because it's almost all censored. It's keept in secret because if you don't know this you can play a better role in this reincarnation. Many books were burnt. Even today the internet is controled with too much desinformation. The flat earth is a good example of fake information to misslead the truth seekers and to put them all into one basket as some idiots and conspiracy theorists.

Well, wasps can bite and bees can sting, can't they? Enough reason to not welcome them to my garden I think. To be honest I have never been sting by a bee but.... I hate when one disturbs my peace of mind while I am sunbathing because I think/fear it could sting me. I don't even like flies nor mosquitoes even if those won't bite me.


Wasps are dangerous and need to die by fire, but bees don't want to sting you as it is their last defense and then they die from using the stinger. Don't bother them and you can walk right through them. I had one queen Bee sting me when i was young but I sat on it! Damn that hurt. Cheesy


If where you live supports bats then put up some bat houses and that will take care of the mosquito's. And making sure there is no standing water on your property keeps the mosquitoes and flys away as well.

Wasps more dangerous than bees? Why? I mean, I don't really know. To me both are just annoying when it comes to me trying to relax. No big deal though... But if I can have then away of my close proximity I am happier.

Avoiding standing water on my property is not possible as I have a big pool just side to the house... It doesn't seem to particularly attract mosquitoes (probably because I have it chlorinated and perfectly clean all year round). Also mosquitoes don't bite me (or if they do, which probably do, I don't get an itch nor notice anything).

I will consider the bats houses thing (will google about it) as I don't mind bats... But I don't think my GF will approve that. It already took me a lot of effort reasoning about the convenience of putting some geckos (which she strongly and irrationally fears/hates) "housing" on the outside. Maybe my dislike of wasps/bees is also irrational. Go figure. It's my garden though. Smiley

Wasp, bees, bio warfare.

Wasps are more aggressive (many wasps are predators, while bees are vegetarian). Wasp stings are generally more painful than bee stings.

However, bee stings are more likely to cause serious anaphylaxis and death in allergic individuals.

Geckos are moderately useful for keeping mosquitoes in check. Bats are better, but they prefer to feast on small flies (fruit flies etc), usually more numerous than mosquitoes. They are also a good indicator of clean air, since they can't survive in heavily polluted areas.

The best bio-weapon for mosquitoes are ladybirds (ladybugs) from what I've heard and read. They are relentless predators of anything that moves. They are already effective at the larval stage. Preferred food: aphids, but they do eat mosquitoes too.

The ideal solution would be some aquatic predator that could clear mosquitoes while they're aquatic larvae, but I don't know about any widely adopted specific solution. Frogs anyone?

The solution is called fish, mosquito larvae is a common fish food for fish tank fish.

Digitizing existing fiat funds will be a smart decision to get a more stable financial system in the world that is not specifically tied to the dollar, as is the case in big business. Bitcoin is seen as a custodian of value, why not banks to develop their own coins.

Of course, it seems that in the short to medium term we are going to witness all kinds of playing around when it comes to various entities getting in the money printing business, and of course, BIG banks that are tied to a variety of national currencies have already been in the process of printing money and digitizing money for years and years and years, so I am not sure if there is anything new going on in terms of the bank money printing business.

Bitcoin has surely drawn some attention to the money printing "problem," so I doubt that digitizing is really the hinge about what is going on and what are the dynamics and incentives that bitcoin brings to the whole world financial system that has gone down a road of ongoing money printing problemas.

In the end, whether BIG banks digitize or not, they are likely NOT going to be able to control ongoing evolution of public sentiment that is likely to progress because of systems like bitcoin, so yeah, it could take decades to work out the various battles, yet so long as bitcoin does not screw up, seems like the vast majority of value is going to continue to gravitate into bitcoin, even if there are various kinds of smoke and mirror attempts from various status quo financial institutions that might attempt to suggest that bitcoin brings digitization of money when in reality bitcoin is really bringing responsibility in terms of money.. and in terms of really having a rules system that is enforced by nodes that will likely continue to incentivize responsibility within bitcoin, and central systems do not really have anything that incentivizes them to compete with bitcoin because ultimately centralized systems devolve into money printing - and bitcoin is, so far, the best incentive structure that is enforced by massive computer decentralized proof of work that reframes the whole monetization away from printing more coins.

Don't engage the account farmers please.

So hey guys, I had a bit of interest re my art submission, a couple PMs asking if they were available for sale.  Well, I have given it a little thought and talked with the guy that actually owns the plasma setup.

At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is really worth burning a batch.  I'm certainly not wanting to annoy anyone or break any rules turning this into a for sale thread, just get a feel for if it might be worth my time to move further.  If there is interest I will be starting a dedicated thread.

I wouldn't really be making anything on the deal if it were to happen, but I would want to slip a bit to my buddy.  He is an independent maker/artist type and the plasmaCAM is an expensive bit of kit.

The desk ornament/bookend thing from the art thread would ship for $20 equivalent BTC.

Also, there is a new prototype, smaller, that another blacksmith buddy can value add into belt buckles;

     

Those would ship for $40 equivalent.  

At these rates domestic US orders would be slightly subsidizing international shipping and I would be hoping to break even.
  I would love to buy the bookend version. The belt buckle seems a bit big.

loggers tasked with cutting down trees for the issue carved the Amazon rainforest into a beautiful message. They carved swathes of forest down into Greta Thunberg's face and the words "How Dare You." The epic answer to Thunberg's critics is visible from space.

Well, looks like the Brit gits are about to commit economic suicide. Thank heavens there is bitcoin so the people can exchange their worthless "pound" for something that will have value.

I'm going to enjoy watching this unfold.
Only in the short term. In the longterm EU Is gonna perform a lot worse. It's a sinking ship and leaving can bring some turbulance. But once you save yourself and you reach the shore of an island you can start a better life.

Now you are making sense, gave you a merit for that.

I strongly believe that England will come out of this as the winner.
They can now start to build an alternative free trade area witch will be muck bigger than the EU, Just like they once created EFTA.

We have Brusselse wafels, Luikse wafels and in Holland they have stroopwafels

Actually more interesting.... why call it French fries when it’s a Belgian thing???

Huh Huh

Americans confuse European things often. e.g. Brussel sprouts originate in the Mediterranean not Brussels. Americans thinking that Deutsch (German) is the same as Dutch because the words are similar (in fact the origin of the word Dutch comes from some confused people calling it Deutsch). Etcetera.

Well, since it's called brussel sprouts in Sweden as well, it can't be an american thing, so I took a minute of my life to actually look it up.
From Wikipedia.
"Etymology
Although native to the Mediterranean region with other cabbage species, Brussels sprouts first appeared in northern Europe during the fifth century, later being cultivated in the 13th century near Brussels, from which they derived their name.[1][2]"

Caught "The Rise of Skywalker" last night with Rick. It was like watching two and a half hours of shit being smeared all over my eyes.

I get more excited watching The Mandalorian E7 tonight at home than The Rise of Skywalker in the cinema.

Truth. The story 'arc' with some tightening up on some stuff to make it a 2-hour movie would, IMHO, have done a lot better than the last 2 star wars movies

just saying. Not sure it was worth the $69 a year price I paid, I can find NOTHING of any real note on the site to watch besides the Mandrian...thus a loss of $$$.

Have the exact same problem with CBS Access and Star TreK: Discovery as well. Sh*t. Well at least with Picard that will be 2 shows I can watch on the CBS Access

site. It is like commercial T.V. is not even trying anymore to make quality products, only if you subscribe can you see anything good now it seems.

Mandalorian season 1 contains 8 episodes to watch, last one will be aired 27 Dec. Season 2 next year, al lot of countries still waiting for Disney+.

It was not needed to sub for 12 months if you only want to follow The Mandalorian, cancel Disney+ sub after episode 8 and resub when season 2 starts. I could've taken the advantage trying Disney+ for 1 week and watch season 1 in one go on a sunday evening for just 1 cent. -lol-

There are so many streaming services these days, each one which there own originals just like the newest Star Trek: Picard on CBS. (release date is January 23) Subscribe when the season starts and unsub when it ends, so you can replace service A to B. This is what i always do.

On the side note, The Mandalorian is already so succesfull that Disney considering the possibility of a Mandalorian movie. It would be something if it gets more populair than the original Star Wars movies. Smiley



Or you could do what I do, watch for free. Most movies and series can be found here: https://nyafilmer.to/the-witcher/

And what nyafilmer.to doesn't have this one will: https://gostream.site/fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them/
And what you can't find at those to places can hopefully be found here: https://ww.123movies.al/movie/predator-world-2017/

Yes, there will be annoying stuff popping up before you can start the movie, but I can live with one second or so extra clicking if it's free.

You're welcome.

I read your post as being exceedingly cautious, Majormax, and you already likely recognize that I continue to believe that there is a bit more underlying buying pressures than the amount that you seem to be willing to accept present.  Furthermore, supply is a pretty damned underlying force, whether you want to categorize it as "secondary" or not...  supply is a kind of hard pressure that inevitably ends up biting the bears in the ass.. especially any of them who under estimate its power, after they are manipulating down for much longer and much lower than can be contained and ends up resulting in a lot of irrational and uncontainable upwards FOMO buying... which is likely going to be another history that repeats itself... surely not guaranteed in any kind of way, but a seeming likely outcome... time and degree to be determined.   Wink

You are quite right. I think it wise to be cautious.

I wouldn't categorise supply as a 'force', but demand acts more like the pressure. If you had to say which was more active and which more passive, how would you label them ?

Supply is more a variable which is acted upon by demand, and I suppose that is my point in saying that the effect of halving is not a given. Only when demand is absolutely assured and permanent does supply become the active variable.

Well, supply will be cut in half, and unless you also believe that demand will be cut in half at the exact same time, price will rise. It's really that simple.

Nope, sorry, I can't see it that way. If it were so, the chart would show a step change in price at the point of halving. Demand is to a large extent already discounting (anticipating) future events, because it is so tied up with speculation. The flows and changes are complex. That's the reason you often see an opposite reaction ( to that expected) when an anticipated price sensitive event happens.

edit : Merry Christmas !!

Well, that's econ 101, no matter how you see it. No one ever said that the price would go up the second the halving occurs, that's not how the economy works, there will be other factors in work as well, but they have no long term effect.

...Cutting production (per block) in half, while cost of production (per block) remains the same, could make mining unprofitable, unless the price rises.

..but it doesn't actually affect the price per se. Mining becomes unprofitable, hashrate falls, difficulty falls. The price drives this action, this action doesn't drive the price. Aggregate demand is always key to price changes, and it dances mainly to other tunes.

Not directly (that's the reason I rephrased my statement earlier). But I believe it does, indirectly. Maybe some miners will be forced to shut down their mining equipment, others could mine at a loss and HoDL their coins, all sorts of complex things can happen, that will be triggered by the halving event. History has shown that each halving has been followed by a huge price rise (even after you iron out the volatility). It may not happen instantly, but history shows that it will happen. Of course, we only had 2 halvings, so there's not much data to work on. Time will tell. And soon.

A currency is generally backed by a police force and an army, so it doesn't match the definition for a commodity.

And it's approaching its production cost indeed.

Erm, you have to actually leave the EU first, conclude some actual trade deals and then you just might have a clue as to whether an entire nation has committed suicide or not.

If it were anyone other than a bunch of one catchphrase fuckwits in charge the chances might be better but anyone with any actual sense wants nothing to do with it.

One of them was talking up Northern Ireland's prospects after they backtracked on everything they claimed and it turns out there might be a border in the sea after all. They were saying NI will do great because it'll have frictionless trade with the EU.

That sounds like a fucking great deal. Maybe the rest of the UK would do jolly well with something like that too?

I'll take the well researched findings of a respected entity over the ill informed opinions of a man who lives in a bus stop, thank you.

No, you don't understand, I didn't ask for directions to a manual, I asked how to do it.
If you ask me how to change tires, I guess you would be pretty irritated if I gave you a lesson on how to google "change tires" instead of just answering your question
If someone doesn't want to answer my question, then just don't answer.

not using any adblock for quite some time, so not sure about that.

I can't even imagine myself browsing for more than a minute without having ublock on. (not saying adblock, adblock bought by google. Name of the game is ublock now)

Everytime I reinstall my OS, it is the first thing I install after chrome.

Content providers fucking ruined everything.

Ads are the reason I quit watching TV 15 years ago. I don't want the same shit on my internet.

True, it makes life very easy. it might sound weird but that's why i am not using it anymore. could be flawed observation or it just me but it helps me to stop spending too much time on youtube.

It's my birthday.

The halvening can't be priced in. If the halvening is priced in, is the next halvening priced in too? How about the next 25 halvenings? It's impossible to price in halvenings. The halvening is like a change in physics.

Got the artwork for my pin/cufflinks/etc based on XhomerX's design of my crest today.

I wanted it 15 mm high, but the smallest they could do was 19mm.
Some changes need to be done, the trigger must be attached to the crossbow and the scale is not perfect, and the frame should be protruding, not recessed.



Here's the final artwork



And below is another artist's rendering of the whole thing including helmet etc.



Here's the finished product, not happy with the trigger, will have to talk to the guys about that on monday.
Sorry about the bad photo, it's almost impossible to get a good photo with my mobile.

Does it mean "justice requires weapons"?  If so, it should be "armas".

It has been checked with a professor in latin at the university of Lund.
So I'm pretty sure it's correct.

EDIT: Yes it means "justice requires arms".

 I don't think arma is a first declension noun.  I'm pretty sure it would follow the same declension (2nd) as bellum in the plural form (one of the only declensions I remember well from high school Latin)
The accusative pl. would be 'bella'.  I'm pretty sure the motto is fine the way it is.  I mean if I was a betting man...  Wink


You're right, xhomerx10 and Arriemoller. I stand corrected.

It is actually a plural-only noun, neuter gender, second declension.

I joined the forum in April 2019 and had not seen this thread before, today I have entered the thread of (halving) micgoossens and it has taken me to Wall Observer, I have immersed myself in previous messages and I have observed that more than a typical thread of a discussion forum, looks like a group of friends talking about Bitcoin, I like it.

My native language is Spanish, although I understand some English.

I started with BTC in 2019 with a very small monthly purchase, but it is the one I can allocate, for now, it is a long-term investment, I wanted to participate in the halving contest, but according to the rules, it is not my reach

The meaning of the username is accurate, I have a full node working 24/7 since I registered.

Although my forecast for half in the contest, I estimate that the price will be between 9000 and 10000, I have seen very high prices and very low prices on the list, with 10,000 good.

Good luck to everyone in the contest.

bad cold sucks but is really no big deal
bad flu can kill you

Caught the flu twice in December. Developed into a nasty dry cough towards the end of fighting off the second flu. Never felt worse in my life before. Doctor diagnosed me with "Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome" and the lung x-rays results showed signs of mild bronchitis.

Dude put me on Z-Pak for 5 days (antibiotic), Albuterol inhaler, and QVAR inhaler corticosteroid to reduce inflamation. Platelet counts are higher than normal, likely due to fighting off the infections, but seeing a hematologist some-time this week to get the official rundown - Currently taking baby asprin every morning to thin my blood out a bit in the meantime.

Getting old fucking sucks.

May I suggest high doses of vitamin D, 2500-5000 IE daily, with a starter boost higher than that.
I read some new research several years ago that linked vitamin D to the function of the immune system.
Basically what it said was that when the immune system identifies an enemy it picks up a vitamin D and attacks.
If it cant find a vitamin D the attack is called of. In the summer we get enough vitamin D trough the sun, but in the winter we usually get a lack of vitamin D. That's why we get sick in the winter (on both hemispheres).

I usually get a flu shot in fall and start taking vitamin D at about the same time, and I have not gotten any cold or flu since I started doing that. This year however I never got around to getting the shot nor started taking my vitamins, I was out and just forgot to restock. And now I have a cold. I did however start taking my vitamin D a week ago (high starter dose) when I felt the first symtoms, and I'm almost free from my cold now. I highly recommend it.
This is what I use, I'm sure you can find something similar over there. https://www.vitaminvaruhuset.se/elexir-d3-vitamin-2500-ie-180-kapslar

Hope you get better soon.

He's sowing war. It will be a bitter harvest. Who's going to reap the whirlwind? Not the lucky 0.1%.

It's Iran that's been "sowing war",every since the Iran deal the boost that the deal gave to their economy has been used to build up the revolutionary guard and wage proxy wars all over the middle east. They have attacked Saudi oil fields, tankers in the Hormuz strait, waged war in Jemen, built up Iran loyal forces all over the place that commits terror attacks on anybody that the mullas deem to be an enemy.
The sanctions on Iran was a first warning, the Iranians ignored the message. Taking out the brain behind all the proxy wars was the next warning. I think they got it this time.
You shouldn't let their rhetoric fool you, That's how losers save face in the middle east.
Remember when that Iranian won the Nobel peace prize? They threatened them with death and torture. (I don't remember the exact wording).

i wasn't so angry as after reading this in a fair while (i mean years).

Airplane engine destroyed by a missle is still a mechanical failure. In the videoclip you see the engine already on fire we all want to see the moment before it.

Iran refuses releasing the black box to Boeing wich is actually an obligation.

This detail is vapor, steem. Media driven hysteria.
No state returns blackboxes to the manufacturer. So why should Iran?

EDIT: Usually the manufacturer of the flight recorder is invited for the investigations, led by the state where the accident was happening.
So many informations on this, almost nothing confirmed or official. Only "may", "could", "might"... As usual

So, It's only  ""may", "could", "might"... As usual" and yet you draw the conclusion that it's a conspiracy.
How about stop acting like a hysterical woman and start acting on facts like a man.

Iran has now confirmed that they shot down the plane by accident, is it still a conspiracy?

Nowadays, yes. While collecting merits. But there are members that got legendary for mostly just being around a lot, pre-merit era. Although I believe the merits are serving their purpose for more quality posts, the most wordy are not almost contributing the most.

Believe lurking should be rewarded as well. Would like to be able to hand out more merits to quality posts, while not being an active poster myself.

I agree, I think that now and then there should be a airdrop of sendable merits that doesnt affect the merit count of the one getting the airdrop, just those who receive the Smerits.

Indeed it is, but on the upside, when you have the money it stays yours, no inheritance tax, no tax on gifts, no tax on wealth and no property tax (but a yearly council fee of max 8349 SEK (about 835 USD)).

Reporter: So, when it would be ready, then (implying that he, like, downloaded a pdf file and expecting a "curing" app any minute, lol)?
Exec: it usually takes 10 years, but with some "acceleration" with the help of the government, it could be done in 4 years.

Based on H5N1 (which is really bad) it should take about 6 months tops.

Coronavirus has spread to Finland.

Hopefully it won't survive saunas/alcohol.

Bad news there. Viruses are tough as shit. Only UV-C radiation is quite effective at killing germs, bacteria and viruses (and all animals and humans, with enough watts per square centimeter of exposed skin, over exposure time).

I read that alcohol kills it, and temperatures above 57 degrees C.

- China’s death toll rises to 304 with more than 14,550 confirmed cases.

So how is that tracking with that spreadsheet that was being passed around last week? I seem to recall we should be in thousands of deaths by Feb 2nd.

Just thinking.

Posting spreadsheets everyday might be annoying to some people here. A quick summary is better, to much things happening.

Do not trust China's official numbers or statements, casualties are higher than they say.

Daily is fine with me, this thing moves too quickly for a weekly report.
What concerns me most however is the number of non Asian deaths, since it affect Asians and non Asians differently.
As far as I know, all deaths so far has been Asian.
I would also like to know if recovered cases are virus free or just symptom free, can't find any good info on that.

Clinical Characteristics of 138 Hospitalized Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China
7 February 2020

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2761044

Quote
Key Points
Question  What are the clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)–infected pneumonia (NCIP) in Wuhan, China?

Findings  In this single-center case series involving 138 patients with NCIP, 26% of patients required admission to the intensive care unit and 4.3% died. Presumed human-to-human hospital-associated transmission of 2019-nCoV was suspected in 41% of patients.

Meaning  In this case series in Wuhan, China, NCIP was frequently associated with presumed hospital-related transmission, 26% of patients required intensive care unit treatment, and mortality was 4.3%.

Please note re above I understand that the Chinese case definition requires a patient to have developed pneumonia to fall within the scope of the study, therefore the mortality rate is skewed high.  I don't know the rate at which pneumonia develops.  However, mortality rate is skewed down as further patients in intensive care will likely die. 

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study
30 January 2020

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30211-7/fulltext



What is more interesting to me is the mortality/fatality rates among non Asians.
Since Asians have five times the number of receptors in their lungs for this virus then others, it would make sense that they have a lot more sick and dead then the rest of the world, that would also explain why they are taking such draconic measures to contain the virus, while the west is a lot more laid back.

It would make me an asshole if i intended to hurt someone, though, but that's never my intention.


Just to be clear.

Texting lacks communication of emotions, in contrast to speaking. That's one of the main causes for fuzz on the interweb.
One just can't be sure to "read" his communication partner's intentions. The error rate is around 80%.

That's just saying that you and you alone decides when you are an asshole.
You can say anything, write anything, and do anything.
As long as you claim that you did not intend to hurt anyone, it's ok. Other peoples feelings are irrelevant.

Eh, no. those aerosol droplets are snot, the same snot you always exhale, aka sneeze out, when you have a cold or the flu or whatever.

Unusual activities before the epidemic
The U.S. government will investigate the stock market manipulations took place before the Wuhan epidemic including (but not limited to):

“Exists” from Stock Exchanges in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.
short-selling
People with knowledge of the viral attack sold a large number of stocks to American, European and Saudis investors. Many people who sold their stocks include Jiang Zhicheng (the grandson of Jiang Zeming, the former president of China), Meng Haijin (the daughter of Meng Jianzhu), and Gao Yanyan, etc.
Li Ka-shing, a pro-CCP tycoon in Hong Kong, unloaded a significant portion of his stock holding after Nov 12, a move he did not take during the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests.
Many Chinese business tycoons have been shorting stocks and selling stock holdings to foreigners while keeping their mouths shut since Nov 12, 2019.


I don't know about the veracity of Miles Guo's theories but we do know that Li Ka-Shing has been heavily involved in bitcoin in the past. If he was exiting Chinese stocks as Miles says then it is possible he was entering bitcoin/gold flight capital assets. There was a good pump in bitcoin mid-late Oct. .... hmmm was that another Li Ka-shing and co. pump?.

Really, hes last name is Ka-shing?

Here's my thoughts on the origin of the virus.
I think it accidentally got out from the lab in Wuhan, where they were trying to make a vaccin against corona viruses.
The reason for the vaccin development is the fact that it hits Asians much harder than non Asians and therefor would make a good bio weapon to use against china.
And because of  low Chinese safety awareness they are now shooting themselves in the foot.

In total to this day 1527 recorded deaths, and from this number 1523 in China. We have one victim in the following countries : Japan, Hong Kong, France, and  Philippines. After China, the country with the most infected people is Japan (338) (but I think it's because of a cruiser anchored in one of their seaports).

All statistics can be seen at this link : https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

I want to touch on supply chain disruption.  That lunar new year holiday is a real thing.  It is well known in the West that China basically shuts down for two weeks this time of year, so enterprises will have planned ahead and stocked up on critical parts ahead of time, therefore we will be somewhat insulated from supply chain shocks until (the end of the holiday + the proverbial slow boat shipping time).  It is expensive to actually shutter and restart production lines so manufacturers will first slow production to husband rare parts while allowing employees to take elective time off and performing maintenance tasks on parts of their line.

However, over the next month or so, the boats will fail to arrive and the parts will run out.


something something

profit?

I was gonna order some new clasps for my online shop from China, answer? no can do.
So they cant sell and /or ship and therefore have to close down the factory for the time being, and I cant sell in my online shop because I cant get any deliveries and the ships get less to ship. Where in this chain of events do you see any profit?

And also, zweiundvierzig doesn't rhyme with blue.

USA looks like a bargain compared to  the others. The only dealbreaker is, you get taxed twice if your income is outside of the US. I don't know if there are other countries doing this.

Let my clarify a bit. Income tax in Sweden is payed to the local council/county and it varies from place to place but usually hovers around 30%. However, if you make more than 50930 USD equivalent per year you also pay 20% state tax on the amount above 50930. where they get the 57,20% from I don't know.

Believe it or not, but china airways still have two flights a day to Stockholm.
It's a pure miracle that the virus haven't spread here yet.
And the Swedish CDC says that "it's not very likely that the virus will spread in Sweden". Yeah right.

Too far behind to even try to catch up, but I have a little something for you that might explain the rapid spread in Iran. Apparently it's a thing in Iran to lick sacred places and the government aren't shutting them down.

Just for fun I ordered two solar powered lights , you know, the kind you put next to the door, whatever they are called in English, from Wish on the 18th of February.
Last time i ordered from wish was in October and it took two to three months to get the stuff delivered.
Now it seems like it's gonna take 15 days.
It's in Halmstad today, so most likely in my mailbox by tomorrow.

Just texted with a friend, the groceries in Seattle got wiped out yesterday.  Silly normals, why pay for food when you can just split the skulls of your neighbors and feast on the tasty goo inside?

There's some very weird stocking up going on in Malmö, all the canned meatballs in brown sauce and all the canned chili con carne is gone, but the canned ravioli is untouched. And basically everything else is also in normal stock.
I asked when it will be back in stock and they said tomorrow, there is no shortage, deliveries come as usual.
And if you go to Trelleborg instead there is no stocking going on at all.

Why are people stocking up on food anyway? this is not that kind of event. A solar storm or EMP that knocks out all electronics would be that kind of event.

It's not like the government would leave you to starve to death if you are quarantined, either the military would organize handing out of food or they would organize some kind of mobile groceries van or something like that.
It would make sense to have food for a couple of days before everything gets organized, but that's all.

I mean if we can get food and water to people and areas that are totally snowed in in the winter, I think we can handle this.

Most of the time going to the hospital is worse for you than staying home and taking care of yourself.

wait till youre a boomer with a 15 page med list, 14 specialist MDs, a list of conditions and operations, some so cutting edge that they have been published.

without regular labs and MD visits.. well thats life support for some of us.

@Ibian, youre welcome.  well no, thats a lie.




No way I would burden myself, my insurance company, and by proxy, every other person's premiums, or society in general if I had those kind of problems. I'll just have to let life (or death) run it's course when I get that far gone. You know, take it like a man, instead of living on life support.

I found something very disturbing, we might all be fucked anyway.
It seems that 45 percent of people infected gets pulmonary fibrosis, average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.20024539v2.full.pdf

Gaohong Sheng et al. [22] have shown that viral infection could increase the risk of pulmonary fibrosis. Xie et al. [23] found that 45% of patients showed signs of pulmonary fibrosis within one month after being infected with SARS-CoV. Hui et al. [24] revealed that 36% and 30% of patients infected with SARS-CoV developed pulmonary fibrosis 3 and 6 months after infection. These studies consistently suggest that pulmonary fibrosis will become one of the serious complications in patients with 2019-nCoV infection. How to prevent and reduce the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with 2019-nCoV infection are urgent problems for medical workers in the treatment of 2019-nCoV.

What is Pulmonary fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath.

What is the life expectancy of a person with pulmonary fibrosis?

There is currently no cure for pulmonary fibrosis but treatments and therapies are improving all the time. The average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years but if it’s caught early, treatment can help slow down the progression of the disease.

Italy is no different than all the other countries in that they are not testing everyone they know who was in  contact with the virus.

There is only one difference: in Italy there is an high percentage of elderly people:  Italian has the second life expectancy in the world.
So we are vulnerable to elderly-affecting disease.
Regarding car crashes (taken as example of what can bring you to an ICU) is not sitting with an elderly in the hospital that bothers me: it that there is the concrete possibility that every ICU is already taken by them leaving none for me!


Let me tell you a secret about hospitals (having worked in one), they do triage. If you have a bad accident you will pass the elderly flu patients in the line when you get to the hospital, just as young patients are treated before old patients if there is a shortage of treatment available.

I've been using them for years.

Seriously, TP sucks.
Wipe off your ass perfectly clean (so you think) with TP, and then use a baby wipe.
You're welcome.

Basically it beats the shower and the hassle.
Especially if your ass is hairy.

Anyway, back to COV.



Here's a hint, have high levels of fiber in your diet and most often you don't need to wipe at all. Metamucil is a big help here.

Metamucil, when I was fresh out of military service and got a job at the local hospital we used to give the older patients in the orthopedic department where I worked Metamucil. The thought of taking it now is just too close to those memories. I don't want to feel that old yet, although I'm sure it would give my poo a nice firm texture.

Don't interact with anybody!

And I am saying this as someone who sees more than 100 different people everyday. If that shit spreads here I am done.

You saying this because the alternative is better?!?!

I was just trying to adapt to the mexican food requirement. Of course it is better if they just invite their friend to some things they already have in house or cook themselves, but I guess that's just going too far into paranoia (at this stage).

Just trying to raise awareness.

This shit is serious. I didn't care about it much tbh till yesterday. Now the more I read about it makes me even more sicker than selling the bottom.

You really don't take setbacks very well do you. Well, let me calm you down a bit, I just read that 50% of the people that tested positive on that cruise ship outside Japan had no symptoms at all. So there is a 50/50 chance that you won't even notice if you get infected.

Looks like everyone is starting to take this shit seriously. Except maybe UK... I donno if it is because they are doing good or ignoring the problem.

As I understand it, UK and Sweden are taking a different approach.
The plan is to slowly reach herd immunity while protecting the risk groups until herd immunity is reached.
That's why Sweden hasn't closed any schools or anything else for that matter, everything runs as usual here, people aren't even using masks. The advise is to keep distance, stay at home, wash your hands often, and use hand sanitizers.
The press is having a field day and social media is full of outraged people, I would not be surprised if the government buckles under the pressure and changes strategy.

Edit: there is also a ban of more than 500 people gatherings.

The US is the place to worry about most.

I thought the issue was with Europe now? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I believed what Trump says which is foolish.

It's all about preserving the effectiveness of the health system by drawing out the infection rate rather than drowning it mainly. But the concept of 'herd immunity' that they're all talking about might turn out to be total rubbish and we'll all melt.

Nothing was done in the earliest stages at all and now they've given up attempting to test and only testing hospital arrivals. A lot of people are calling it a gamble and it does sound like it. I will not be taking any chances.

I do think explicitly isolating oldies is very sensible and I don't get why that hasn't been done elsewhere but it should've been done sooner.

Anyway, anyone who has the option to take control of their own exposure should've been doing it the moment this all became a problem. No one should be waiting to be told.

As for America, look who's in charge. Look at the health system they'll need to shake up and unify. A lot of Americans won't seek treatment until it's too late because they've spent their whole lives avoiding doctors because of the expense or lack of sick pay even if they remove those barriers and it looks like they will.

And then we might end up with a two tier world where Asia went for containment and the West let everyone become zombies so Asia won't let anyone in until there's a vaccine. This will be written about for centuries to come.

Aand, then he just explained all that.
Still catching up, as you can see.

or.....it's just another flu-like virus but the opportunity arose for governments and central banks to use it as a scape-goat to hide the popping of the financial markets bubble, hence blanket news coverage to the exclusion of all other reporting. People are already recovering and reporting that it wasn't too bad actually, they just felt a little bit off-colour for a few days. Sure, some very old and sick people might die, just as they always do.

How many absurd government-sponsored narratives and their 'coincidental' timings are people going to fall for? Never mind, just stay in doors, shut up and be fearful. While central banks pile on more debt to tax-payers through new forms of QE now being sold to us as market liquidity injections.

Or maybe this thing is actually hitting Asians harder than Europeans and that's why they are panicking more.
Don't forget that paper that concluded that Asians have more receptors for the virus in their lungs than Europeans.

I was actually raised in a bunker from the mid 80s onwards because my parents worried Judas Priest would make me commit suicide.

You're telling me it's safe to come out now?

Haven't you been paying attention?? Of course its not safe!

Mum says get your arse back in the damn bunker before she has to break out the paddle.

So the bus stop was just a big lie? I'm hurt and I feel betrayed.

Coronavirus appears to be more fatal in men than women.

Seventy percent of coronavirus deaths in Italy have been men.
Data from China shows about 64 percent of deaths in tens of thousands of cases were male, compared to 36 percent female.
Fifty-four percent of fatalities were men in South Korea.

Would not surprise me of those numbers are actually the number of smokers.

Nah, men have more receptors in the lungs for the virus to attach to, just as Asians have more than Europeans, hence the higher mortality rate.

Corona rearranged is racoon and that is, as we all know, the city where Umbrella corporation builds its zombievirus in Resident Evil.
A proof of that is that coronavirus is an anagram for carnivorous, and the virus will eat us all, except for Gentlemand who is in self isolation in his bus stop.

What's the situation like in Sweden now btw? The number of the infected jumped up to ~1.5k people rapidly and then stopped. Do you have any idea why?  Cool

I think it's just lack of testing, right now all hospitals in the most affected areas are triaging hard outside the hospital entrances, you really have to be sick to be admitted at all, regardless of illness. And only those admitted to hospital are tested right now. A sharp rise in infected people needing hospital care is expected in the coming days.
The military is setting up MASH units to help the civilian health care.

Emm... these guys are not wearing any masks?  Shocked

And the text under the photo tells you that it's a stock photo from the exercise Aurora 17.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_17

Aurora 17 was a military exercise that took place in Sweden during a three-week period, from 11 through 29 September 2017.[1] Its main focus was the defence of Gotland.[2] It was Sweden’s biggest military exercise in 23 years and involved troops from the United States and some other NATO countries.[2]

the thing mutates

and there is suggestion that the second round kills you deader than shit

I read that corona viruses are stable and not prone to mutate, unlike the flu.
I don't believe "the second will kill you" rumors, haven't read that in any reputable paper.

If you do drop dead from a second infection the vaccine trials are going to get very interesting.
everyone that has been vaccinated will drop dead when they are exposed to the virus. That's gonna make people keep their distance.

110 out of 8,961 is about 1.23%.
Wrong formula. It's death/(death+cured). Which still doesn't look bad, in their case.

Would you just stop it with your home made non sense bullshit formula already.

"Vo’ Euganeo a place in the history of medicine is the decision made by the Governor of the Veneto region (which includes Padua, Venice, and Verona) to test all 3,341 inhabitants of the town twice: the first time before closing it off from the rest of Italy and a second time two weeks later.
In this respect, Vo’ Euganeo is similar to the Diamond Princess, the ship quarantined in the port of Yokohama, even in population size (3,711). In both cases, we can observe an entire population exposed to the virus over time, with comprehensive testing.

This is different from all the other cases, where only a fraction of the population is tested and that fraction is likely to be the one showing some symptoms of the disease.

The first piece of good news coming out from both these ‘experiments’ is that more than 50 percent of the documented COVID-19 cases are asymptomatic cases, similar to what researchers found in the Diamond Princess case. 
Once we adjust for this percentage, we have the second piece of good news: in both these samples, the case mortality rate (CMR)—the fraction of cases that die after contracting a disease—is “only” 1 percent (1 percent in Vo’ and 1.1 percent in the Diamond Princess after adjusting for the age distribution)."

... another bottleneck exposed in modern society by the virus, just-in-time funeral services.

I bet Silicon Valley can come up with a funeral home share app for that, with surge pricing to cater for unexpected demand too.

Out of curiosity, how would a non just in time funeral home work? Would they have bodies on stock in case deliverys run out?
