Wow, did not know about this 0.75BTC tournament. It might tip the scales so I might be joining this weekend.


Yep, it's hard to commit all weekends to online poker now that isolation is over. We all miss sports, bars and ordinary life things.
If it was a bit shorter (1-2 hours) I might be more eager to join, but then it would not be a real game of poker anymore.

Let the attack commence!







Hourly chart cup handle pattern? or not?

I am going to start battling you, AlcoHoDL,

In March coinmarketcap showed 1.7 bil increase of the market cap and now 2.5 bil. It is unusual. This may lead to a new ATH sooner than expected. I think everyone knows it but just in case I'll remind that the jumps of tether's cap in certain days do not mean necessarily someone bought such huge sums instantly or fake tethers were 'printed'. In an official response to questions about these jumps, coinmarketcap explained that tether's data has some lags. There is one article that mentions the problems with the various blockchain tether uses: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-climbs-as-tether-gets-500m-injection-in-5-minutes
("..However, archived versions of the page show similar readings over the past few days, suggesting CoinMarketCap's data did not capture the full supply previously. USDT runs on several different blockchain networks, including Omni, ethereum, Tron and Liquid....)

Regarding mindrust. I'll try to summarize his in my view very controversial explanations (if not contradictory with the sound mind). He sold at $4Kish, because:

1. He was shocked in the middle of the night and the fear made him sell.
2. He was overinvested, which in his case meant $40K in bitcoins and $80K fiat reserves.   Many of us are 100% in Bitcoin regarding fiat savings, including myself. In his case mindrust had the luxury to defend his positons by buying more at lower prices. Or just wait for the recovery, which is only a matter of when, not if.
3. He felt betrayed because holders decided to sell and abandon ship. In reality not many holders sold everything. Rather many sold small portions of their stash at the same time in preparation for the next weeks without income.
4. He bought one whole bitcoin just before the crash and having 10 bitcoins turned into a heavy dissapointment. I also bought a greater amount than usual just before the crash. So what?
5. Tether is scam and when it dies, Bitcoin will die too. I can remember 2017 when tether almost died and logically people bought bitcoins with it, so the price increased 3x.
6. Bitcoin is too volatile, while the fiat and other assets are more stable. Yeah, sure. Crude oil, ahem. Fiat printers brrrr causing international financial crisis and inflations, ahem.
7. Covid-19 is so scary, so no point in keeping his bitcoins. Seriously? I can understand this only if someone is sick of some nasty illness requiring a lot of money for the treatment. Although, many of us would prefer another way of finding the money for that.
8. It is better to trade shitcoins because they are more volatile than Bitcoin?!?!?!?. For his bad luck shitcoins are doing really bad. As always.
9. It is better to trade USD vs EUR, since there was a lot of volatility recently. For his bad luck the exchange rate is almost frozen in the last weeks.

I think the only reason for mindrust sell was No. 1. The next reasons he made up as excuses not to buy again at $4500, as he claimed.  I'm really sorry for him because these two decisions obviously made him unhappy. And it is all about hope and happiness, which Bitcoin brings to the true holders. He may not realize it but he is becoming slowly into the next r0ach.

I puked that night, the dude didn’t. My girl left her phone in the bar, the dude took it to his room & gave it her back the next day. The dude is very trustworthy.

Throwback .... where I did got f***up with some fellow WO’s 

True, warm bodies have been kept distanced, away from each other, etc and the numbers are going down. More in countries that did this well, less in countries that did not do this well. "Herd" immunity works when the herd is being careful.

Now we get to see what happens when you re-add bodies to the pool.

I have a feeling I know which way this is going to go, when you tamp down a fire to coals and then pour gasoline on the coals you get a predictable response. But hey, maybe "this time it will be different"....

Let's check back in 2 months. Place your bets folks, just remember that chip you're betting with is your life.

皆さん、こんにちは。2021年末までに$ 2,759を超える可能性がある暗号通貨について聞きました。これは可能だと思いますか？ご回答ありがとうございます。暗号通貨の名前を忘れてしまいました。ハーモニーです（最初）

Indication of miners being greedy cunts as they’re only getting paid 6.25BTC per block mined as opposed to 12.5BTC so they’re only accepting the highest transaction fees to squeeze more money out of people.
It’s forcing people to pay higher fees to get a moderately quick confirmation.

Lots of people are dumb & don’t check what current fees are so I bet there’s loads of people sending corn with low fees who will wait an eternity to get a confirmation.

It's a win, no worries

First 2 bets are hit!

Waiting for the last 2 matches

Gave up visiting that website years ago when they started to talk about ‘blockchain’ instead. Still a scam it seems, what editor allows burying Bitcoin in a ‘top50’ list while Bitcoin is the very reason the site launched.

On the hourly, the dip is recovered a nice bowl shape, I am wondering if a handle will form now
