My calculations show that the correction from 58 400 to 43 000 is 26.3%. This doesn't even qualify for a significant 30%+ correction!

I switched to faster internet plan in Dec 2017 because I felt rich, haha.

It's different to previous run ups.

My birthday today, I'm now 60, got celebrated by the family earlier.
I didn't really care that much when I turned 50, but 60 does make me feel a bit old.
O well,nothing I can do about it, back to the internet and my model rocket rabbithole.

It was a TDI Sportwagen. Still is, I guess . They delayed delivery three times so I cancelled. Then I saw they'd actually got it fairly close so I called to give them another chance but apparently they're not competent enough to swing that so it's showing as purchased by someone else now. Ah well, there are other cars. Cashing out for nothing stings though.

I'm hoping someone local bought it so at least they'd be screwed out of the delivery charge for getting it from Nevada.

So much for Lambos. Carvana totally fucked up my car purchase and it was only a used VW. Bonus in Bitcoin tripling between when I withdrew the funds for purchase and when it almost happened.

Forgot to mention, met these two dudes at a club last night. Pretty cool guys. Said they were brothers visiting from out of town.

“It’s very understandable that a lot of users will feel upset they were able to buy what they thought an order was there for Bitcoin at very low prices. But unfortunately, the underlying Bitcoins were never in the possession of the exchange, so there’s never really anything there to be bought or sold, unfortunately.”, said PDAX CEO Nichel Gaba in a press conference earlier today.

Calling him dangerously insane because he argues for synthetic beef isn't a great starter. Producing beef is incredibly wasteful, not to mention you have to butcher an animal.

I guess one could argue that it's dangerous because it's unnatural - but then look around you, your entire world is unnatural. Microplastics in your tap water, VOCs from your home's building materials, what's a little a synthetic meat in the mix?

Laser Eyes should be forbidden now. don't play with things you are not able to handle.

Some people get really uncomfortable hearing views which don't agree with their own. It's the curse of this age.

"“It’s a virtual forest fire,” said Glen Goodman, a U.K.-based trade. “The wood was bone-dry and waiting for a spark. Elon Musk was that spark.”

“Crypto futures traders were borrowing so much money to buy Bitcoin contracts, they caused borrowing rates to skyrocket,” Goodman added. “By Saturday 20th Feb, they were paying 144% per annum. Clearly that situation couldn’t continue. In those conditions, prices have to fall to shake out the over-optimistic borrowers and return borrowing rates to normal levels.”

Bitcoin has been getting traction from mainstream investors, in part because of the perception that it’s a store of value similar to gold. Bullish investors claim the cryptocurrency can act as a hedge against rising inflation.

But skeptics warn that bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is one of the biggest market bubbles in history. Analysts at JPMorgan last week said bitcoin was an “economic side show” and that crypto assets rank as the “poorest hedge” against significant declines in stocks."

R.I.P.
The video left me speechless.
