Meanwhile: back over $44k and getting ready for an attack on $45k I suppose... ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

I think that many of us were assuming that the Bitfinex "hackers" were never going to be found - and especially, if found, not expecting many of the coins to get recovered.., and geez a husband and wife team of hackers.. huh? true or not.. let's consider the matter..
Not quite. If I got it right they were hired to launder the money.

So.. in other new Wells Fargo published this and the bitcoin community cheers in bullish adoration. I will tell you why they are wrong. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FFLFHqZ_WUAQjNFn.jpg&t=663&c=IzB8NXTioCqh9w) Don't get me wrong... I do think this is a bullish chart. But I believe the prediction is overly conservative. For internet adoption to happen the citizens of earth needed a lot of expensive things. A computer, and a connection to the internet, and the time to use it. Eventually the cell phone worked it's way into the mix, and even the lowly Raspberry Pi was created to bring internet capable computing to the least rich on the planet. These facts were the resistance behind this adoption curve. The building out of worldwide wireless networks is undoubtedly one of the most important achievements of mankind. Now for bitcoin. What will the users need? Nothing more than the things they got in the first adoption curve. A computer, a cell phone, and a network connection to the worldwide network. See the difference? Perhaps subtle... but very large. The implication of this chart is Bitcoin will likely follow a similar curve. I think not. (can anyone guess how cAPS thinks the curve might be different ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ) Besides, the inventions from the beginning of the 20th century (telephone, radio, cars) took considerably longer time to reach adoption than later inventions (mobile phones, internet etc). The speed of technological adoption is rising with time. Mobile phones got pretty widespread in around 10 years or something. Which means that...

Why the fuck are they even staying in New York with 100k bitcoin, LOL, dumb doesn't even begin to explain it.. I doubt they were the masterminds behind this scheme.
That can happen if you consider yourself to be smarter than other people. But yes, they're not the guys behind the hack I believe. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

What is going to happen when the money starts to pour into bitcoin from people all over the world realizing that all the pillars of society are crumbling including the financial realm.
Gofundme is teaching the masses about financial sovereignty and trusted third parties BIG TIME right now.
The Bitcoin ecosystem in on the brink of it's biggest stress test so far.
Is it ready?
No, of course it's not ready! Whatever happens will only add to the decade of well-established history of buckling under pressure. That's why I'm patiently accumulating the only store of value guaranteed to be worth at least something into the future -- USD in my safe, federally insured, low yield savings account and stocks. The bitcoin experiment has only proved that there is no other way to financial security one can count on into the future. Muahahahahaha ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I guess now it's pretty obvious Proud Honey is a bitcoin bull and a HODLer trolling us to death with his pseudo-bearish posts. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Gentlemen welcome to the second leg of our glorious recovery bullrun to $100k and above. Hopefully this dildo will reach $50k and the next leg/dildo will take us straight to the ATH levels. Enjoy, you have deserved it! ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

100k incoming
Not sure we'll see it in 2022, TBH. Who knows... I agree, mid-70s would be amazing but I can’t see higher than that this year. Will be $120000 by November no ifs no buts And no butts, bottoms I mean... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Bitcoin: Finally you can take it with you.
Actually, as Satoshi said, you donate it to everyone else (hodlers). Great point Jimbo! Losing your life or your coins makes those coins lost/unspendable thus cutting the supply and increasing the price eventually. I'd like to thank that British guy with a HDD full of coins thrown in the junk... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Impossible. There is no way we're going to repeat 2018. Not sure if you were in BTC back then but just to remind you the price went down around 70%. I'm not operating with exact numbers but just approximately 70% down from $40k is $12k. Don't think any mining could be profitable or long-term sustainable at that price. What could happen for the price to hit $12k today/this year: 1. USA/Russia/EU ban Bitcoin 2. Saylor/Grayscale, billionaires sell their stashes 3. Serious flaw found in BTC (quantum attack?) causing complete meltdown 4. World War 3 starts. So as you see I lied to you saying that it's impossible. A combination of these factors can lead to going really low, perhaps sub $10k. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? It's up to you to decide. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Re: COVID It’s clear that Sweden was probably the country that reacted most sensibly of all to the pandemic, with measures that were largely proportionate to the size of the threat.
Well. What you are not saying is that there has not been a day without restrictions in Sweden since March 2020. During a few periods of this time they have even had harder restrictions than their neighbours Norway and Denmark. If they had not had these restrictions, more people would have died. What is your obsession with Sweden anyway? Could it be you don't want us to remember the military trucks driving out scores of dead from Bergamo, or the stacks of missing bodies found in trucks in New York? Instead of Sweden, why don't we instead talk about Peru, where 0.6 % of the population died from alpha/delta, or Bulgaria or Hungary, where close to 0.5 % of the population died from alpha/delta. All points to alpha/delta having a mortality of around 1 % if not for lockdowns and other measures. You end by concluding that the higher mortality in the US than in Sweden, was caused by the "disastrous effect of lockdowns on public health". This is where you prove your insanity, or, to give you the benefit of the doubt, your belief that you are only talking to retarded Americans: Around 150 countries around the world have had lockdowns, and most of these countries have experienced far fewer deaths than Sweden. After the alpha wave, which is where Sweden's course of action diverged most from its neighbours, the deaths per capita in Sweden were 5-10 times higher than its neighbours Denmark, Norway and Finland, which all implemented hard lockdowns in spring 2020. At this point Sweden was in the top-10 of countries with most deaths per capita in the world. Since they aligned their restrictions to similar levels as their neighbours, at points even harsher, and with the rollout of vaccines, Sweden has steadily improved. Some Swedes kept saying that the neighbouring countries would catch up to the death totals over time. Well they were wrong, because here we are, with an Omikron strain that does not kill anybody that have had their 3 or 4 shots. Thanks for this quality post. Wanted to reply to Arrie but you saved me at least 30 minutes of my life. 100% correct and based on facts only. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
