Looks like this short-term pump may have legs.

You should not be setting your ladder steps at round numbers,

Pish. I used to place my orders 'just off' from round numbers. Yes, they executed earlier. No, I found no evidence to suggest they executed more often than round number orders would have. Even if there were some minimal incremental benefit, that is outweighed by the PITA factor. At least for me.

I had to look up PITA, just to make sure that I understood the context of your apparent manufactured exasperation.

More simply put.  We can just agree to disagree on this angle.... even though I had thought that you had previously agreed on this technique..

Yeah, I did. But my experience taught me that -- at least in my case -- I saw perhaps zero benefit, and certainly more headache.

Reminds me of when I 1st heard Deep Purple's  "Smoke on the Water" and thought the refrain was "Slooooow running Hoooooorses!....."

...on fire in the sky.

Obviously, a hymn from the book of revelations.

I wonder what's that "mobile" they are referring to as in:
"To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time..."

calling @JimboToronto...

It was "the rolling truck stones thing just outside". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stones_Mobile_Studio

The song is literally a telling of their experience at Montreaux Jazz Festival, where they were due to play. But "some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground"

Big volume on GDAX, and the price just keeps climbing. $11560 and rising. People dumping buckets in to sell - several dozen at a time, and they're just getting gobbled up.

edit: $11650. Was not a typo five minutes ago.

But the market cap of bitcoin will not rise X because X value is put into it.  It will rise Z when X value is put in.

Price goes up when buyers buy more than sellers sell. It has *nothing* to do with "incoming" money. Market cap is meaningless.

 Huh At the risk of uttering a tautology, exactly as much bitcoin is bought as the amount that is sold.

What I've heard, and it made sense, is that wearing a mask helps 80% to keep the virus in (not infecting other people), but only like 20% to keep it out (not infecting oneself).

That may be true. A mask can restrict how far you might be spewing.

But a respirator is not the same thing as a mask.

Due to my assiduous rotation plan, I have enough N95 respirators to hold for the foreseeable future. I'll happily wear one in public.

Still think the governor is overstepping his authority to demand all must be masked.

Got my new hat for the occasion of crossing $11,000 and staying up there in the past 48 hours. Which is always a nice sight upon it's self. Wink
Thanks goes to xhomerx10 on it and it took him no time at all since were still holding stronger above $11k.


Hi rdbase,
 How about now?

avatar-sized

Now just waiting to say ShAzAm! while wearing this snazzy hat so we can cross the ATH soon. Grin

Nice work.

Slippery slope there. If you are going to use as your principle 'things trying to be money', there is an argument to factor in USD, Euro, etc.
131  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 01, 2020, 03:00:05 AM
It is going to be difficult to HODL if the price hits $100,000 or close to that range during the bull phase this time. How many of you will sell nothing & be happy to sit through another long crypto winter? Surely everybody is going to take life changing money out this time?

End of 17 I saw as a blowoff top. I'd felt them pop since $32. Pretty much knew what was in store. So I sold, in order to buy My Personal Lambo[tm].

... A single-digit percentage.

$100K will not faze me.

It seems  that Dooglus hasn't been active in the forum since 14 July. Let's see how many new top 100 days we had when he comes back.

Dooglus took over when dree (the thread originator) stopped updating. Perhaps it is time for someone else to step up?

Imagine some random lurker who doesn’t normally hang out here and landing on this page and reading that.
They’d be like “good lord, these bitcoiners are a nasty bunch!”
Lol

Probably, the newbies are going to blame LFC for all of it, when they really should be blaming jbreher.

 Huh

Not me. Prolly a bit o' Mandy's nasty ol' bike.

Today 10 years ago:

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."

The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale.  That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server.  The design supports letting users just be users.  The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be.  Those few nodes will be big server farms.  The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.

Besides, 10 minutes is too long to verify that payment is good.  It needs to be as fast as swiping a credit card is today.

See the snack machine thread, I outline how a payment processor could verify payments well enough, actually really well (much lower fraud rate than credit cards), in something like 10 seconds or less.  If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

kodak making drugs and such now. wtf and didnt they sell rights to their name on some shitcoin a while back? kodakcoin or some crap?

Not quite. IIRC, they created their own crypto to be used in licensing of stock images.

@jbreher:
7-day stats comparison, really?

Yeah, I get it. But no more ridiculous that V8's meme.
'In crisis' implies short term. Handy table on CMC lists 7-day as longest. Seemed to roughly match V8's short-term thinking.

You're better than that,

Aww, thanks.

but you'd have to admit that BTS (Bitshitcoins) don't cut it in the long term.

If you are speaking of BCH and/or BSV, I need admit no such thing.

Quote
We'll we have to see in a couple of years, there's no sufficient data available yet,

Agreed

Though demonstrably, if you would have traded out of BTC into either BCH or BSV one week ago, you'd be up. _That_ data is in, and conclusive. ::gigglesnorts::

What can we trust? Why is the 'information ecology' so damaged, and what would it take to make it healthy?


Finally got around to watching this. Found it pretty compelling. Enough so to mentally commit to watching part 2, which will be another two hours or so.

I had previously been unaware of Schmachtenberger. Deep thinker.

Hard to keep your composure when you have princess M'agabe running at you with a defective rocket launcher and a AK-47 ....

I'm still scratching my head as to why the fact that the guy in back has the design of a hand on his shirt seemed the one thing in this image remarkable enough to somebody for them to highlight it.
