Sweet. Merited.

Well, a little green and a nice volume spike...

Over .020 again briefly - hope things are looking up.

I hope it does leave then, but the last peak-to-peak was four years. 

Either way, I think I am already booked in for first class. See you there?

I'll be the guy smiling, drinking vintage champagne and reading glossy magazines featuring private islands for sale.

Ha!  Merited.

Which means this bear market will match the last, which in my heart of hearts I always expected.  I did cash out enough in December to have no regrets, I reasoned that I knew I'd regret it if I didn't and we were in 2013 all over again.  

I wish we weren't watching history repeat itself again, mind you.  Barring a real Bitcoin ETF or some macro event /crisis that points wealth en masse towards crypto, I do think we have a long grind to endure, but hope springs eternal.  

Given 2014/15, there is a historical precedent.  I just hope if we are going that low, it's faster this time - grinding down and only hitting bottom in early 2019 would be tough.

Sooner, please.

0-60 on gravel in 2.2 seconds...  perfect for the rural shopping run.

Fair enough it was (I guess) hopium induced short term nonsense.   I guess I am looking for something that I know in my gut is not anywhere near here yet.  

Thanks for responding.  Will set my MA / EMA to a longer frame.

On the Bitcoinwisdom daily chart, it looks like a bullish MA crossover is in place - can anyone with any expertise confirm. 

I am far from an expert, and it feels too early to be optimistic, but I will take any optimistic gloss anyone with the right tint on their spectacles can see.

There should be, like: everything has a 'conspiracy (theory) of it'.

Make it rule 36?

It cannot be rule 35 - as that is already in use as the update to rule 34, which is that 'if there isn't yet, there will be'.

So, of course you'd need a rule 37 (see rule 35).

I never delved around the dark nutcase (or more enlightened?) fringe recesses of the web enough, life is too short.  However, after a few years on here, I have come to realise it's pretty pointless to assume anything will be universally accepted as a fact.  And often the rebuttal involves a conspiracy theory to prove it.

Challenger is a new one for me, but I am not surprised to see it exists.

Taking my g/f to Blenheim Palace this afternoon, it's not far from where I live and it's huge and beautiful - especially on a summer's day.

I just found out it's closed next weekend and I hear it is because Trump is visiting, seems he's avoiding London (as well as protests and any lighter than air objects in the sky) and being entertained there.
 
It's home of the Dukes of Marlborough, where Churchill was born and covered in enough opulent decoration to impress the likes of the current POTUS.   No doubt he will pick up some home decor ideas. 

I do hope it's not too late for the balloon to follow him up there, it'd be a shame if he missed it.

On Tuesday and Wednesday both our national teams are one game away from a World Cup final.  It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a player to become a hero for all time.  We still worship our 1966 team from more than half a century ago, everyone knows the commentary,. the team, the goalscorers, the goalkeeper from a young age.

I wish you victory against the French and if we beat the Croats, see you in the final, Mic - where history will be made. 

I am sure you and your country are just as excited as we are.  Good luck!

The Mannekin Pis picture is hilarious... 

Am very fond of Belgium - I always go on a vintage hunt there every year, it's fantastic.  I was at the market at Tongeren a few weeks back, came back with a car full of great stuff.

Well done mate - you just knocked Brazil out of the World Cup!!!!

Now please beat France?

Then, (I hope) we will see you in the final....

We have Sweden tomorrow, then Croatia or a very politically interesting and delicious draw against Russia!?  And we're there, too.  

But Belgium are the ones to beat now.  Belgium are on fire.

Quiet here while the Yanks do celebration and hangover stuff.  By the time they're back everyone else will be back in World Cup action...

The 2-day break has been weird after the endless daily drama. Can't wait until tomorrow afternoon (European time).

Nice pic...  And sideways is not problem if it is as majestic as that.  Hardly flaccid looking....

EDIT: I wish the price looked as though it will hold up as firmly.  Looks like BTC's steps up are not as likely to continue with such ease.   Post-Independence day droop coming?

Spotted on a billboard on the west side of the pond:

Well it is now you have let the cat out of the bag!

That reflects what people betting think - and most people just think Brazil must be better, mostly due to past form.

However, past form proves nothing and I think Belgium can beat Brazil.  If the odds stay like this, I will probably bet against Brazil (better value for money).

Either way - it should be a hell of a game - and (emotionally) I would like Belgium to win.  Teams that think they deserve to win have fallen fast in this amazing World Cup.  If Brazil go into this game assuming they will succeed, they will lose.  Belgium on the other hand will know they are up against it and will not give up, as proved by the Japan game.

I had a dream like that once.  Sometimes I wish I hadn't woken up.

That said, we do know how to put a bit of a tennis competition on.  And how to serve a G&T.  We also invented football.  We look like we even might even be starting to remember how to play it. 

So, mustn't grumble, eh.
