How do you guys deal with excessive drinking? I mean, I'm functional, but would still like to cut down.
I had to just stop it all together, and sought the support of AA for a few years. If you feel that you may have developed a physical dependency, (like having to drink everyday to avoid the shakes,) I would seek medical advice before attempting to stop or cut down. I have Ibian ignored, but I find "cold turkey" works best, provided you aren't a completely alcohol-dependent degenerate, in which case, I understand there may be some possibly life-threatening withdrawal symptoms to deal with (eg: delirium tremens complications). Emotionally, it helps to treat alcohol with disdain and hatred for a little while. "Fuck this alcohol. Why am I drinking so much and letting it rule my life. I'm the boss of me. I'll show it !!!" sorta thing, and mind-trick yourself into having the fortitude to maintain restraint for a while. I just had a single Greyhound to unwind a bit. Had another three beers with Rick earlier in the week after he had a rough day at the office. 4 drinks total in one week is progress I can live with, compared to a six-pack-of-beer a day prior trend. If you can go for a week without a drink you're not addicted. If you can't then you're addicted. . |

AFAIK black boxes protect the electronics from fire by putting them in a big wax block. You could probably do the same with your nano.
<<redacted>> Thinking about it he never should have told me that should he  And you never should have told us either. OpSec is a touchy thing. Hard to envision all the possible leakage vectors. Might wanna go back and delete that. There's no need for that. All he needs to do is ask everyone he's told to tell the next person they tell it to not to tell anyone else. |

Are there rules on how much paper cash you can take with you from Canada to Mexico?
Same as anywhere else, $10kUSD, which is a huge amount down there because things are so cheap. For larger amounts like my dental surgery or buying land, I load up my credit cards so that they owe me. Of course if you use credit cards you lose anonymity. If anonymity is important, you can get someone else to accompany you and carry a similar amount. I've never been searched or challenged coming into Mexico anyway. If you come in a plane full of tourists, they're just happy to see you and your tourist dollars. I suspected they don't give a shit. Although I heard that for entering the USA it's the opposite, with money sniffing detectors searching for suitcases of cash. |

don't you DUMP the price................  Don't worry Mic, those coins will never see an exchange. I love dealing with individuals/family businesses. The guy operates an ATM in a restaurant owned by a Bitcoin enthusiast and usually deals in amounts of a few hundred bucks or less. He was more than happy to take a smaller fee to do that much at once. Gotta love small businesses. I'm flying down on an airline started by some dude in Montreal, and back on a family-owned Mexican airline. The Mexican one actually still serves complimentary booze. Cheap too. The whole trip cost me about $500CAD/$380USD. Since I own my own tax-free place down there, I don't have to pay for accommodations except for a night at a cheap ($15/night) family-owned hotel coming and going. What I save on booze while I'm there and by turning down the heat while I'm away more than pays for the trip. It's like I'm being paid to relax in Mexico. Life is good.

Oh my please no. I prefer +20c. It's fucking freezing here. That must be why you're back. Sailing season over? Yep. I mean the boat has engine heat much like a car, it actually gets quite comfy even now. But it's just not fun to sail when it's cold all the time, and overnight stays are right out except with shore power for heating, in which case why bother. Also it keeps breaking, don't get an old boat. What happens if the bottom bit needs fixing? How much does a fix in a dry dock cost? Is it cheaper to just buy a "new" old boat than pay for the dry dock? |

Love reading the hubris in the old posts. Where are they now? Buried under their own excrement. Remember kwukduck who sold at $10? Don't you guys know the bitcoin ponzi scheme is collapsing right now??
I sold my coins for 10 dollars before it was too late!
no but seriously... i think 50 is on the high end, im guessing next difficulty will only push it to about silver 35-40 USD
The saddest and funniest thing about bitcoin is... That there are still people who think it's ever going to hit 10 again xD
Under $10 is pretty much guaranteed within like a year time.
And no, there will be no recovery, bitcoin is outdated and shown to be ineffective technology.

@kylapoiss, this thread is always really quiet during periods of low volatility. Hopefully BAKKT starts a new bull run. We need something to get us out of this mind numbing, sideways action.
It was worse a few years ago. Nothing but automated chart buddy posts plus a few real posts a day. The opposite happened when we hit the ATH. If you blinked you missed five pages of posts. Wall observer history will repeat itself when we hit the next ATH. Yep.... exactamente!!!! 2015 was a pretty long period of flat and a pretty long period of non-enthusiasm with regard to bitcoin.. and of course, a certain decent percentage of the actual post were from members pumping some alt coin or another. That first pump back up to $500 got everyone posting again. The next pump back up to $10000 should have the same effect. |

We will likely have total insanity in the bitcoin markets this weekend. Technically, we could continue sideways for quite a while, but the odds of that are constantly decreasing.
Some alts are already rallying. Bullish. After Bitcoin hit the bottom in early 2015 some of the alts were the first thing to rally. |

You are wise to choose a hat instead of underpants.  + no hat (or a magic altcoin hat) =

You were so busy posting here that you missed the dump. The price crashed to $6399, but there's been a pump to the moon of $6410 since then. |

When more hats
... I need avatars though. Some guys are in campaigns, some avatars I can't find in a larger size... like Capslock's or Yefi's... You could bodge it and use blurred enlarged avatar images like this one.  |

Oh great now we are going back down. Reaaally should have thought twice before dropping acid. Also I really should not be anywhere near bitmex right now. You guys need to keep reminding me not to sell, ok?
Did you know what everything we use as energy is really just a product of our sun? All the energy we store up and change from one form to another, blowing pinwheels that produce our electricity. Even the power that is spent mining bitcoins, which are just an idea bound by math (which is just another idea), comes from the sun. The energy of the sun, stored as ideas, traded as value. Om. All you know and love, The fundamental building blocks you are made of, are popping in and out of existence all the time. Can you imagine that? Sometimes you exist, sometimes you don't. In fact, the entire universe just popped into existence. It should have popped out again, but for some reason we don't know yet, there was an imbalance between matter and antimatter. Matter and antimatter should have canceled each other out. But here we are, living in a world that is expanding faster and faster. What happens when the expansion starts slowing down? Or stops? You are the universe observing itself and asking these questions. OK I am freaking out. Gunna go clean the bathroom. When you guys drop acid do your fingertips get cold too? What was before the universe popped into existence? Where did the matter and dark matter come from? Can there be life made of dark matter, where matter is the "mysterious" one? I doubt things are really over with us expanding into oblivion, where protons, neutrons and electrons never meet again, there might be just a new start, maybe in a totally different way. I also doubt that water only is the single source of life like mainstream science suggests, there might be endless possibilities. One thing is for sure, universe is full of life. Brain goes on fire thinking of that subject, guess it's too much to cope with. The whole body seems to get a bit colder when dropping acid, that might be just due to overall rise in sensitivity. Good to know there are some other psychonauts around here  A while back, there was the idea being thrown around of a WO Vegas party to celebrate $100K. Instead, we could all just meet up wearing our avatar hats and drop acid. What could go wrong? What should yefi do, meet up with us wearing his avatar underpants? |

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.
I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Sounds like someone is insecure and overcompensating. Careful, he's military. He could rip both your arms off and leave no trace of violence. |
