Actually it has become quite boring TBH...
I need $100k.

I'd better charge that damned phone. It's going to be a long night.
Off to watch a movie (if I can).
BTW, cutting through $61k like butter.
Edit: On a serious note: to all of us HoDLers out there. Congrats on our perseverance, patience and belief in Bitcoin. It has paid off so dearly, and we all deserve it. I have a friend who has invested something like $5,000 in altcoins (nothing in BTC, because "it's too expensive"). He has traded his stash to a volume of millions, buying/selling between all those shitcoins. I've told him so many times: "Just BUY BTC and HoDL! Listen to me man, just throw it all on BTC and forget about it." He didn't listen to me. He now has some modest gains, but nowhere near what he could now have by just HoDLing BTC. He could now have more than $100k $150k. Pity, because he's a very good guy, and smart too, but it's the smart ones that get caught it seems...
Congrats again, guys ('n' gal). Our patience paid off. And we haven't ever started yet.
Thank you, Bitcoin.

Decisively through 61K.
Where's Proudhon when you need a terrible maths and science lesson.
Crying in the closet.... I wish I had proudhon's BTC stash... Most of us are small fish compared to him. |

Hey man. Wanted to PM you, but it may interest others too. IIRC, you mentioned you're using Blockfolio (smartphone app). Do you recommend it (the Android version)? Is it stable and does it have reliable alerts? I don't want to add my actual portfolio (for security reasons), but just to easily check candlestick charts and have price alerts on the go. I currently use a Bitcoin widget, but it just shows the current price and no alerts... Also, does Blockfolio show ads, and if yes, is there an ad-free (paid) version? I hate buggy and/or ad-based apps. The OCD in me... Thx!
Blockfolio... It's OK at the current stage. I liked it better in the first major version, it was minimal but stable. With every update the bugs got more, but also the features (which i mostly don't use anyway). At least the team is working quite hard to react to bugs and push updates. Grpahics got smoother, but i don'T get much from that. Now for the alerts: They are well thought out, but you better make sure to check your power saving mode and always stay online with the app allowed to run in the background. It's pretty reliable then. Only one caveat, when for example you define an alert (say 3% price change in an hour), the timespan has to pass to raise an alert. So if BTC goes up/down 3% within 30 minutes, the app will alert you up to 30 minutes later. You could get alerted of a dip, check the price and see that it already bounced and it's over. I don't use alerts that much, so maybe i just haven't laid out alerts schemes that work good enough for me. Ads: Well, there are ads, but all crypto related at least. There is a tiny bar, that is sometimes scrolling, to display the ads on the main screen, you'll get used to it and it doesn't interfere with operation much. I don't use any trading functions, i am only tracking prices and view charts. You should try it out, i'd say. Didn't find anything like that, apart from cryptowatch's mobile version of their web page, which i use when blockfolio leaves me hanging because of bugs. EDIT: Oh, forgot about the pro version (paid) which should be ad free, afair. Who the fuck would even publish a paid app with ads anyway, i just asked myself...  I used Blockfolio and it was ok.
But then switched to DELTA. I like the numbering format better, as Blockfolio uses abreviations for some numbers and i like seeing the whole digits.
Thanks to OutOfMemory for the mini-review of Blockfolio, and to _javi_ for pointing me to Delta. I've just tried both apps, and, although both look nice and appear to do what I want, Delta wins hands down for its beautiful and fast user interface, ease of use, and clean, to-the-point information. So, I'm sticking with Delta for now, and see how it goes. The only bummer with Delta is that you need to pay $50/year if you want to have the Pro version (no ads), but the free version seems clean enough (I haven't seen any ads yet). Thanks again to _javi_, for the pointer to Delta, which I wasn't aware of.
Euro-chart (Kraken) is stuck at 50,000 € due to a 250 BTC wall that is quickly eaten away... 21 BTC left now... Aaaand... EATEN ALIVE! 50,008 € now! |

Damn. Stuck at $60k... Too much sideways action...
Come on, Bitcoin, do something!

Oh no.
It's dipping...
Are we poor?

Its like trying to stop a tsunami of honey badgers
thats an image i wont be able to erase from my mind now lol pretty accurate discretion actually. and $60k USD? shiny! had several sells pop off, time to reset some ladders. I have currently set up only one sell order. It will sell some Bitcoin leftover dust I have in Kraken. This will give me back the entire fiat I spent buying Bitcoin from 2015 until now. The order is coming too close to being executed, and I'm considering canceling it to be honest... |

Finally hit $60k USD/BTC! Woo!!  Sheeeeeit! There's good shit, and then there's bad shit. This is good shit! |

Is there anything better than waking up in the morning, going to the toilet to take a good shit, switch on the smartphone and watch that green candle grow to break an old ATH in real time?!  EDIT: Short version: Good morning. ATH!!! Hey man. Wanted to PM you, but it may interest others too. IIRC, you mentioned you're using Blockfolio (smartphone app). Do you recommend it (the Android version)? Is it stable and does it have reliable alerts?

An Elon-style weekend pump would be great now.
ATH today?
Would be nice, but I think we'll have to wait until the stimulus checks clear. Math & science man, math & science! <3 So science says when the stimulus checks hit, we go 2x I think we need to wait for the Llama Oracle to speak. We'll know very soon. |

Regarding mindrust and the comments WOers occasionally make about him (including haikus & other poems, and bat-slappings too), I don't think they are meant as insulting or derogatory. Personally, I don't have anything against him. I've even merited him, and he has merited me here in WO. I think most of the references to him and his "mindrust action", are merely to warn others who may be inclined to do the same. They serve as a warning and a lesson to all of us to keep our cool and not flinch at times of big corrections. Because big corrections can happen, and will happen. If anything, mindrust is, perhaps without even knowing it, actively helping and protecting others from making the same mistake.
If he ever came back here in WO, I'd greet him warmly, and welcome his comments on his "mindrust action" and his current thinking about Bitcoin and the way forward. It would make an interesting discussion. Nothing at all against him on my side.

The double letters have to do with the pronunciation of the Vowel in front of them, if the wovel is short the consonant afterwords is (usually) doubled. Yes, they are smaller units of measure. A kanna for example is 2,617 liters according to the rules of 1665. 1 kanna was divide in to (for fluids) 1/48 tunna (barrel) = 2 stop = 8 kvarter = 32 jungfrur (virgins) (also called ort). The unit was also used in Germany https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanne_(Einheit) And skäppa is also a measure (German Scheffel, English bushel) known from the bible "candle under a bushel" Here's some more swedish units for you to meditate over. 1 Foder = 2 Pipa (pipe) = 4 Oxhuvud (oxenhead) = 6 Fat or åm (barrel) = 12 Halvfat (halfbarrel) = 24 Ankare (anchor) = 48 Halvankare (halfanchor) = 360 Kanna = 942,12 liter The word kanna is by the way still used today but now it just means pitcher. Thanks for that. Much appreciated! It's amazing how each country/culture/civilization has created different units based on their special needs and objects of reference. Which leads us to a more pressing question: How many tunnland of land does Bob own?  Well, since a tunnland and acre is about the same he has about the same amount in tunnland. Yeah, I Googled it. Tunnland is known as a "Barrel of Land". Apparently, the name tunnland originates from the area of fields one could seed with a barrel of grain seeds. What an ingenious way to measure land! |

hectares
Added it, thanks! But a hectare is a metric unit ... its 10,000 sq.m (100m x 100m) Yes, but it's non-SI. And the name is just off... Edit: Actually yes, you're right, strictly speaking, hectare should not be on my "acres..." list. I've never really used it, or ever heard it being used, so I immediately binned it with the other weird imperial units. But it is indeed a metric (albeit non-SI) unit. Still, meters/metres and grams (and also liters/litres), together with their powers and multipliers are sufficient and clear IMHO. The imperial units are probably still used due to tradition and will likely die off in the future. |
