I just realized the part with the haiku. Writing one is difficult. I'll ask my consulting chemist and update my post. Cool Haiku added!

This is unsustainable. The price will be under $10k before the end of the year, and stay there until Libra takes over. Bitcoin is done. Short bitcoin.
Sarcasm? Otherwise very malicious statement.

Depends...   what if 15% at 25k locks in just enough to quit ones job and be financially comfortable for the rest of your life?   Everyone needs to look at their own situation and optimize for best life quality.     Make the plan now, and don't get wrapped up in FOMO when it hits....  
Right, and most people will end up becoming worthless sacks of rotting flesh contributing nothing for the society or the planet. Less focus on "indulging" and this "comfortable" nonsense and start thinking how you can actually use it for something substantial. What will you only do without an apartment in London or Manhattan? The banks still control your minds, despite many believing that participating in Bitcoin means otherwise. Roll Eyes

Ok, I’m going to sell 15% at $25,000. JJG, you’ll be happy to know I’ve perfected my plan now in theory.
Way too much way too early. 1% maybe at $100k. Maybe.
I think we’ll see $100,000 per BTC in 2021 (mid to end of the year). It’d just be nice to take something off the table a bit earlier. I was a millionaire (GBP) in unrealised/unbanked BTC during the last bull run & I sold nothing.

The drop to $3,000 was gut wrenching, I thought I’d ruined my life by selling nothing near the top.

I’m not going to make that mistake again this time. I know everything points to us breaking 6 figures (USD) per coin on this cycle but I want some insurance against a potential crash.

I’ll be selling 15% at or near $25,000.
That kind of thinking is very unhealthy. What exactly did you lose that you needed by not selling at the peak? Nothing. Do not let filthy capitalists contaminate your brain with the materialist propaganda that is found everywhere in the form of "marketing".

I’ve never sold moderate to large amounts of coin before (fiat wise) so I’m a bit nervous about that in the future.
I don’t want to get caught with my pants down so I admit that last week I verified my UK bank & ID with Coinbase in preparation.

If there was a De-Merit action I presume you’d all be giving it to me right now Cheesy
Great. By this time next year your data will be shared among all exchanges.  Smiley

You will end up praying that the crash from $70-$100k takes us back below $20k to buy back in. Smiley We're at $11k with next-to-zero FOMO.
LOL, I think people already FOMOed with bitcoin, around $11,000. Nearly 7 months of bull run, that is too long and bitcoin has gone very far from its start. I could be wrong but I will keep my principle to stay away from FOMO, and keep my patience to be safe and have better chances. Months ago, no one believed that bitcoin would even drop to $6,000, but it actually dropped deeper than that range. From now on, I will keep waiting (taking profits of rest of my bitcoin, and waiting for chances to buy back).
Google Trends proves that you claim is incorrect. This one is due to (small sample of) institutional investors mostly (Fidelity et. al.). Taking profits into dirty FIAT is just wrong.
1271  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 25, 2019, 07:30:32 AM
Lol, I will sell all my Bitcoin if it reaches $20,000, then wait for months to buy it back around 40% below $20,000. This way will help me to enrich my Bitcoin and I will hold them for months till the halving or later to take profits.

On the contrary, real FOMO starts at $20k.
Correct.

You don't have to sell any bitcoins. By the time we reach that level of exchange rate all important products and services will be priced in bitcoins (sats). You'll purchase them directly with sats anyway.
Depends on your preferences. Big purchases with Bitcoin would be great. Day-to-day stuff only if it requires no accounts or data.

Could it be SegWit blocks take longer to check?
Could it be that bigger blocks take longer to check?[1] I don't know. Use your brain? Luke would be very angry with you.

You are a dog-lover, aren't you? Cry

  You guessed it!  I went to at an off-leash dog park in Bucuresti last year without a dog.  I petted and talked to most of them but my favourite that day was a Rhodesian Ridgeback (first time I had ever seen one irl) he was really friendly too.   I had a difficult time trying to leave the park through the gate because I had my own little pack following me around after an hour or so and they wanted to come with me.

 I like cats too but I'm so allergic that just being in the vicinity of a cat owner causes me a lot of discomfort.  I feel it in my eyes first, then my sinuses/head, my skin will start to burn if I've been sweating and if I don't get away from it, my lungs react.  It sucks.  I took injections for two years which lessened the severity of my reaction but it's still something I prefer to avoid. 

A, ha! That's why you put me last on the hat-making list: You're allergic to me. Tongue

Ah I see, confused the IEO and ICO.
Many did, no worries. The super-majority of the tokens that were on sale were privately sold before the IEO even began.

Not ragging on this idea at all. I've actually hard Alfred Kahn speak before and he's a very interesting and amazing partner to have. Wish you guys luck!
Indeed. Alfred is great; stay tuned for license-related announcements. Smiley

Reading some discussions on Github, it seems the importance of pruned mode (and other space or time optimization methods like assumeutxo) increases as the size of the blockchain increases. That, assuming there's the goal of not driving more users to SPV or centralized bitcoin web wallets. Bitcoin Core is really not user-friendly when you add it all up, which is a shame.
Nah, pruning is a done deal. The other things that are being worked on are not related to improving pruning (but they might, down the road).

About that SSD, I'd need the capacity to at least match that of the HDD it would replace in the laptop.
The problem is your laptop HDD, i.e. the 5400 RPM that ETFbitcoin mentioned.
1279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Pruned mode syncing doesn't cache file writes? on: June 19, 2019, 03:41:52 PM
You think you are entitled to demand
I'm not demanding anything. I'm describing a problem that I (and others) encounter, the same as any other report from the userbase. What's done with that is up to whoever is capable and willing.

Even if your suggested solution works for you, it doesn't work for everyone. Besides myself, I also find it an issue when I suggest to people, especially layman, how they should use Bitcoin. I do mention Core for some of its benefits, but on the other hand it's a burden for normal users. 200GB+ of storage, or pruned mode that brings your computer down if you're on HDD.
Alright, no demanding. You need to keep in mind that pruning is not a priority like full nodes are.

You need maybe $10-worth-of-SSD
Regardless of this issue, if you could point me in the right direction I'd love to get a reliable 1TB SSD for $10 to take the place of the 1TB 2.5" HDD.
You are using pruned mode, you said that yourself. Therefore: You don't need 1 TB, you need <10-20 GB. FYI you can get a 1 TB SSD for ~$130, and I'm talking about the best-reliable SSDs (e.g. Samsung Evo). It's actually a great time to pick up one!
1280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Pruned mode syncing doesn't cache file writes? on: June 19, 2019, 01:52:32 PM
Stop using HDDs, problem solved and no dev-time gets wasted.
Yeah, people should adapt to software rather than the other way around. Great way to encourage full nodes, too.
Yes, that's exactly the best way. You think you are entitled to demand Core to implement something for you, well you are not. There is more important work that needs to be doing. What makes matters worse here, you complain about the suggestion yet you run in pruned mode. You need maybe $10-worth-of-SSD to run it in the pruned mode with your settings.
