There's something pure and original about ABBA. They remind me of my carefree days of youth, when we never locked our homes and knew everyone in the neighbourhood. I agree, but I guess it's the same for every generation, we all have our carefree youth memories. Another fun fact, it was the Swedish version of "Waterloo" that became popular in Sweden and was played on the radio all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V1PovdHM8k Edited for clarity.

Fun fact, ABBA got famous by winning the Eurovision song contest in 1974 in Brighton, I watched it with some friends at a friends place in Rosengård (now a no go zone) and then biked home in the middle of the night, I was 14 and it was totally safe. The song is called Waterloo, enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp1_OKawHYw

You are missing the point, we don't care if the tire is flat or not, we don't discuss tires at all in this thread. Doing so just makes people irritated. If you want to discuss tires, for whatever reason, do so in other threads and leave this thread tire free. Is that so hard to understand?
If you do that when it's directly relevant to the discussion at hand, that's called being in denial. It's not a healthy way to approach the world in general but certainly not finance. No, we try to not have that kind of discussions, it's not denial, it's just keeping this thread free from shitcoin talk. If you must talk about them there are literally dozens of other threads, keep this one clean.

[Lots of stuff, as usual]
All very nice stuff. Completely fails to address the arguments I made (which are not for altcoins or big blocks or anything like that, merely that if you restrict capacity, the thing complained about is merely an expected outcome), of course so I'm not going to bother addressing most of it. The idea that "We had the discussion about the tire being flat yesterday and I didn't do anything about it" in any way stops the tire from being flat today and still needing to be fixed is asinine. However, if you continue to refuse to countenance discussion of factors which might be influencing price or adoption, I heartily recommend this link I will, myself, continue to listen to many voices including those with whom I am not in agreement. Echo chambers are such a bore. You are missing the point, we don't care if the tire is flat or not, we don't discuss tires at all in this thread. Doing so just makes people irritated. If you want to discuss tires, for whatever reason, do so in other threads and leave this thread tire free. Is that so hard to understand?

There is no need to shill something that is implemented, working and fully accepted.
Yes. It was just annoying that it was being touted when it was clear it was not a solution and, indeed, has proven not to be. The subtext, of course, is that LN also has issues (not least requiring on-chain capacity) that also make it not a solution and people need to pull their heads out of the sand about why Bitcoin is losing market share. Oh fuck of will you. All your merits have been revoked.

I'll give you this, at least nobody is shilling Segwit as the answer anymore. There is no need to shill something that is implemented, working and fully accepted.

Camping in Brugelette?
Who camps in 6 degrees? Talking of, we had sun, rain, storm, a blizzard and now some calm all in one day, fracking April.

Slow today. Here's a fun fact, the Swedish word for "gong" is "gonggong".

Remember when everything would close by 6 pm on Saturdays and not open again until Monday morning. One of the towns I lived in also closed up all the shops at noon on Wednesdays (I never knew why). Cashing a paycheck was difficult because the banks closed at 3 pm on Thursdays.
When I was a kid, all stores in Sweden except gas stations and kiosks closed at 6 pm on weekdays and 1 pm on Saturdays, Sundays everything was closed, except the aforementioned exceptions. The law that regulated opening hours was scrapped in 1972 and today things are (if the owner so wishes) open 24/7. It did take a while after -72 before stores started expanding their opening hours though, and it was common for basically everything to be closed on Sundays and during Easter in the 70s. I remember Sundays when the whole society was of work at the same time, there was some kind of tranquility to that, although as a young man I didn't really appreciate that. I think that still is the case in Germany. and it was the best time trust me... I guess not only in Sweden but in many other places too this was the common routine... 6pm and everything is closed except for some restaurants or petrol stations. So by default in evening you will be home and now you will have no choice but to spend rest of the evening with your family and loved ones. That was pre-internet, now even if you are at home and sitting in the same place but every one disconnected from each other and glued to their cellphones no idea of surrounding whos sitting and what they talking about. Actually, I would spend that time with my friends, we would sit in somebodys room or basement and listen to records or watch a movie or just talk. Or if the weather permitted, we would just hang out ouside. Not unlike "that 70s show" actually, one of the reasons I liked that show so much is that it reminded me a lot of my youth.

And pubs usually closed at midnight and night clubs a 1 am. When I was 15 I got a moped for my birthday, and I remember riding through Malmö at around one o clock at night on it, and it was empty. No people on the streets, no cars, with the odd exception. Not even the ring road, the motorway around Malmö was very busy. Today it's very different, both the inner and the new-ish outer ring roads are quite busy, and night clubs close at 5 am, people on the streets at night, especially in the summer and shops open 24/7.
Edit: The ring road was fairly newly opened when I did this nighttime excursion, but still.

ftfy There's a place for shitcoin talk. The Wall Observer is where the adults meet. Krypto Kindergarten is over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=224.0 Remember when everything would close by 6 pm on Saturdays and not open again until Monday morning.

As we can see, the wall of bitcoin wanting to be converted to USD is ever growing and further proving that no new ATH can come. Soon the wall of sell orders will wash over and through the "wall" of buy orders. It is mathematically certain that we will see $10k again this year. I know nobody really doubts this.
Will you ever get tired mate? Where's r0ach btw? (wasn't there a rule where you can mention him twice a year?) He disappeared in the beginning of the pandemic and haven't been heard of since.
