Some of you guys are getting quite morbid with your visuals, this time around.

 

Definitely worth requoting for anyone who might have missed this lil gem.

Might need one for Bob too, soon.  

 

 

Many of us had "spidey senses" ^{tm - credit to strawbs} that this moment was going to come  (and likely going to continue to come... because bitcoin is not likely to stop here, even if we may well witness a decent number of additional corrections that will fake out some fence sitters, no coiners and delusional shitcoiners). 

Of course, even if bitcoin is designed to pump forever, even the stock to flow model will taper off along the way.  

We have already witnessed a tapering off of each exponential wave in terms of the percentage increase at each 4-year fractal.

So, yeah, as the BTC market becomes more saturated, it won't be able to even come close to pumping as much in terms of percentage as it did in the previous 4 year fractal, but we are still at less than 1% of world adoption..  AmiNOTrite?.... so there seems to be room for a few more BTC exponential pumpenings.. in the coming years.. especially looking at the next few years and even meaningful 12-years ish or more.  No?

Why so pessimistic, cAPSLOCK?  Especially in the near term?  And who gives any shits if BTC is not sufficiently pumpening in 50 years because the BTC market is potentially becoming more saturated?  

Do you really care about stock to flow model being broken (or less accurate) in 50 years or whatever?  Who fucking cares?  

Many of us will either be dead by then or too busy banging hookers, whipping donuts in Lambos and snorting blow to even notice, right?

Surely, members are going to vary in their thinking about the idea of having "friends" on the interwebs, and sure there likely develops some familiarity with the trustworthiness or even the creative, inspiring or informative nature of some posters with the passage of time.

For example, I might see some posters who make mediocre posts that might come close to inspiring me to want to send an smerit, but the posts do not quite reach a level that causes me to act in sending such contemplated smerit, but at the same time, the members' names (name recognition) may end up in my head, and so I may end up sending an smerit to their posts at some later date(s) because I start to believe that such type of members are genuinely trying to contribute to the forum, to help members or to just bring up meaningful issues that help themselves, but perhaps just having some difficulties in expressing himself/herself very well.

On the other hand, sometimes, I see a lot of mediocre posts from members, and I conclude that those kinds of members are NOT even trying to substantially contribute to the forum or even to raise questions that might even come close to being meaningful for other members (except for degenerate ones, perhaps).. and I might even tentatively conclude that such members are merely cluttering various threads with nonsense - so my negative impression of those kinds of members might cause me to expect a decently higher level of contribution from those kinds of members before I feel inspired to send any smerit(s).

So, familiarity can work in either direction, but if members are actually attempting to make meaningful and substantial contributions to the forum or even legitimately seeking information for themselves (that might be interesting to other members), I see no reason that such members should not learn, with the passage of time to hone contribution skills and to inspire other members to recognize their contribution attempts by sending such "trying to contribute" members with smerits.

I realize that you have been BTC trading a tight range for a decently long time, aesma.  

Hopefully, you have created a laddering system that does not cause you to try to be too greedy by selling too much BTC too soon and hoping for the BTC price to go down in order to feel comfortable with the amount of BTC that you had sold when the BTC price seems to NOT really be correcting and at the price that you sold it.

In times like this, it tends to be better to have a somewhat conservative selling amount because the amount of fiat that can end up getting stacked (because the BTC price keeps going up without any meaningful correction) can start to really pile up in such a way that you need to strive to create a system that is ultimately comfortable with letting go of your sales and having had piled decently large fiat reserves, even if the BTC price never comes back down to your various sales prices.


It's like honey badger sent you a slappo in the face message:  "Fuck lines!!!!!!"


 


FTFY

You better go to the doctor.

 

That could be a fair theory, Febo - even though I would hesitate in playing around with shitcoins with any meaningful amount of my money.. besides gambling allocated funds. 


Sure, history could repeat itself.. but even that rhyme might not be with a sufficient amount of precision in order to avoid getting screwed... so protect thy selfie by only using gambling funds when dealing with various shitcoins.... even if you believe that you have "insider" information that may or may not play out.

I was very, very, very close to sending an smerit for this cute lil pic because I likie the bullish idea, but I have a wee bit of a perhaps personal problem with data (and a drawing) that is based on where bitcoin had been in early 2019.. that is nearly a year and a half ago.. in terms of recently.. ....

In other words, up-to-date (or at least somewhere in the ballpark of current times) creativity and visuals are much more appreciated by this lil selfie, in "trying times" like these.  


Ok.. nutildah.. you sucked me in... based on responsive and up-to-date content rather than personality...

 


Call me "old fashion" (or a nit-picking fuddy duddy).

but

For some strange reason, I feel better with a chart or pic (meme that has chart data contained therein) that has been created in the past few weeks as compared to one that was created nearly a year and a half ago.

Of course, there are some pics/memes that are somewhat timeless - especially if they do not use BTC price charts as their foundations.

Well.. that's another angle to ponder.  

I actually suspect that richie is not richie, and whether that would be attributed to his having had left this thread (and forum) or his other seemingly lost into shitcoinery and BIG BLOCKER nonsense remains a bit of a mystery.. especially since anytime that he has chimed back in this thread, in recent times, seems to show that he is likely still lost and he seems incapable of actually really engaging with (and acknowledging) the errors of his BIG BLOCKER, whiny and other nonsensical ways.


Oh my!!!!!!!

That is elderly.  

You must be richie.  

Well, Doug, you don't really seem to understand bitcoin, so you will likely NOT be missed when you go away from these here parts... that is if you do go away.

Your lack of understanding of bitcoin seems to contribute to your convoluting and confusing of ideas, including identifying the difference between value and props.

Surely, if you have been losing value and getting screwed in traditional markets, there may be some way that you could personally figure out a way to hedge some value (even if starting small with DCAing) into bitcoin, without getting all excited about whether bitcoin is a bubble or the other nonsensical attributes that you attribute to the bitcoin phenomenon. 

Otherwise, if you fail and refuse to end up hedging some value in bitcoin, then you will likely just continue to get screwed by and be a loser within traditional financial systems, where the true "fuckery" seems to be ongoingly screwing lots of folks (except the very rich, and even the rich are likely getting screwed too by the ongoing lack of objectivity and ongoing undermining of the very system that had caused them their status quo richie-ness)

I am not sure if I can speak for doomad, exactly, but it seems to me that both of us believe that the actual charges of the case (which thereby focus the court on which issues it is going to attempt to resolve) remains how we should be considering these matters.

In other words, you just don't make up new shit that the court is supposedly resolving, even if the topic comes up tangentially in the case and proclaim that is "what the case is all about."

In other words, you are a dimwitted twat, franky1.    


The amazing franky1 has defied all logic and previous geometrical theories by magnificently creating a circle of one!!!!!!!!!    

Is it topping out, Globb0?

Sometimes momentum comes, and then the momentum ends up being irrational with traders continuing to suspect that the top is in.. enter another short and continue to get rekkt as the top does not materialize until later down the road and after several shorts have been rekkt.

Surely, I have no crystal ball, but I suspect that there could be plenty of shorters that had been expecting down before up when we were stuck at $9,100-ish, just 7 days ago.

The small incremental stairways have been up and up and up in the past 7 days, and sure it could end at any time, but still seems a great time to rekk some more shorts along a further path upwards.. punish the fucks waiting for down, naysaying bitcoin, fence sitting, but surely it is not punishing too many of the shitcoin pumpeners, yet.

I would think that we are within a more solid BTC pumpening if we were able to witness more shitcoins getting punished along the way, yet I have no fucking clue.. regarding what is short-term sustainable, either... so currently, for example, if you look at bitcoin versus shitcoin performance over the past 6 months, you will find the two bcashes performing relatively badly, but ethereum outperforming bitcoin.

Sure, some of the money entering the shitcoin space can continue to be fuel for bitcoin, even though it remains so difficult to specify exactly how it might be playing out.. except for maybe some seemingly obvious examples from time to time - but otherwise currently valid BTC price prediction models such as stock to flow, 4 year fractal and s-curve exponential adoption based on metcalfe and networking principles do not really seem to give any shits about whether shitcoins might be pumpening or not in the short term.

Would be nice.

I need a bit more of a cushion before I will be waving behind 4 digits with any degree of confidence, even though I would surely like to see 4 digits in our rear view mirror forever and ever.

Break above the June 2019 price of $13,880-ish, and then I will start to feel more confidence regarding such adioses coming out of my keyboard.    



Jimbo, you have an alt?   

I saw a temporary price of $10,340 in the past 30 minutes, which would be the highest price that we have seen since May 31.. of $10,429 - and that May 31 price was merely a blip...

So, surely looking for both pushing up above $10,500, hopefully being able to stay above that price or at least stay in 5 digits for a while, and maybe even better if we never see 4 digits again, but maybe I am saying too much? wouldn't be the first time.   

Jojo must be richie.   


marcus must be richie.   

get to fucking sleep!!!!!!!       aka:  HODL sleep



I agree.  

(Kettle black)

Hahahahaha

You need a batman slap or some suitable alternative....   currently.. "training in progress"

Feel part of an elite club.

 

Not saying that newbies cannot become elite club members, with the passage of time.

The best time to become an elite club member was a bit more than 7 years ago...

The second best time to become an elite club member was any time between a bit more than 7 years ago and today.

The third best time to take steps to become an elite club member is today.


Personally, I cannot beat that.

My first post in the thread was easy to find (on page 4560 of this thread) - just go to my first post, ever on Feb 17, 2014).  I hardly posted outside of this thread for my first couple of years as a forum member.  I deviated more later down the road.

Whenever you spend and replace your BTC, you have the various fees and potential tax implications.  You also have to possibly have to suck up or make up the extra 10% that you were planning to give him.

I am not arguing that it might not be worth it, to incur various burdens or costs in order to spread the good bitcoin word or to give breaks to newbies entering into the BTC space, but sometimes, it may not be worth the whole burden and costs when the potential BTC newbie is not receptive to the idea, and likely going to fuck something up...

Sure, it does not hurt to make these kinds of efforts with various people and even to repeat the efforts from time to time, even while recognizing that we, longer term HODLers, are likely bearing some burden to undeserving folks, and only marginal likelihood of actually inspiring a BTC newbie to enter into the space without fucking too much stuff up.

I mention BTC to random peeps from time to time, and I am also willing to help or to teach, up to a certain point.  They need to be interested, too... and sure, I understand that some newbies do come into BTC from time to time based on these kinds of familial introductions.


Oh gawd....    Call me a party poop....

I know that you are just joking.. but still.. oh gawd.. oh gawd ... oh gawd...  

I am NOT complaining about UP, but the vast majority of us should realize that if someone here keeps proclaiming up, sooner or later s/he is going to be shown to be correct (is that a guru?)... same is true with the opposite...    


Why would you do that?

You are just repeating out of context nonsense, franky1.  Not even worth responding to you because you are not really saying anything or pointing out any new facts or developments that we have not already covered in one way or another.. that pretty much substantiates my statement about you being "full of shit."

If you could, at least, unfill yourself from the out of context ramblings for a bit, we might find something to work with.. otherwise, we may as well stay in a kind of truce status, no?



Irrelevant baloney.  

We do not have a case that is deciding the issues that you present.

We have a case that is likely attempting to decide how much, if anything that CSW owes Ira (Dave's estate).


Usually a better starting point is to figure out what is being charged in the case, and therefore, at least you are sticking to issues that are in front of the judge and/or the potential jury to decide, rather than just making shit up and saying that the case is about some other issue that is not even central to the case (which you repeatedly are doing.  Your repetition in terms of making the case about some other nonsense issue does not cause the case to become about those nonsense issues that you are ascribing to the case).


Well, if you believe that you are at a Black Jack table, but it ends up being 5 card draw, then you are not likely going to come to the right conclusions, even if you employ all of the best practices and the correct Black Jack techniques.


Well, I am making the same accusation of you.  So this is likely where the truce part kicks in.  I believe that you believe that you are in some kind of other game - which is detached from the reality of the real game.


We can agree to disagree regarding which one of us is sitting at the proper table (or game).
