Good morning Bitcoinland. Still bouncing along testing support at $10k... currently $10158USD/$13297CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Sorry I missed Haiku Sunday and the chance to participate in the little covid conspiracy-theory fest but we spent the day out breathing fresh air and hiking out to see waterfalls. Go Bitcoin go. Should have sold as 12k.
And now I should have sold at 10k and also this has passed :-/
Maybe I put in a sellorder at 10k and hope it gets fulfilled if we spike about 10k for a short period again.
Yes. Sell all your Bitcoin. There aren't enough coins for all the people more worthy of being hodlers. Get more fiat currency to buy invest in heavily advertised consumer products. |

I'm sorry if being gender-specific offends some whiny little SJWs but accuracy is more important.
Singular they has been in use since the 16th century, its not an invention of these past decades, id consider it a part of English https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/200700According to the source you cited (OED) it has only been used for specific individuals more recently. In the 21st century, other th– pronouns (and the possessive adjective their) are sometimes used to refer to a named individual, so as to avoid revealing or making an assumption about that person's gender; cf. sense A. 2c, and quots. 2008 at their adj. 2b, 2009 at them pron. 4b, 2009 at themself pron. 2b. Language is ever-changing, not always for the better. This is a case of obscuring gender, of replacing clarity with vagueness. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. I see we tested $10k again with a triple bottom... currently $10300USD/$13455CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Hopefully that's the end of 4 digits. Go Bitcoin go. (And yes "they" is grammatically correct for referring to the singular, or so I've heard.) No, it is not correct—outside the fantasies of the Newspeak Dictionary, Tenth Edition (or is it the Eleventh now?). I don’t want to feed more off-topic drama, much less engage in a “pronouns” flamewar at this particular moment. This is just one of those issues where bad information stands, unless somebody contradicts it. I will do so, for the promotion of singular “they” is a part of the linguistic degeneration that has rendered most of the Internet not only illiterate, but illegible; and it is politically motivated, however much you may disclaim “political correctness”. I don’t want to come off as lecturing you about language usage. I just ask you to please not lecture others on it—especially not to declare peremptorily correct a contentious usage that is widely abhorred. I was actually suspecting this sway character could be a she. (or not) Perhaps. What of it? I have engaged in similar speculations about others, but never corrected the pronouns applied to people who choose to keep this one binary bit of identifying information private. On a forum that respects privacy and anonymity, I suggest that it is generally appropriate to avoid prying, unless you are friendly enough with a person to ask in private. Simply pick whatever pronoun seems best to fit the available evidence, and stick to it unless contrary evidence arises. (I have corrected others who decided to refer to me as a hipster default “she”.)
back in the day, as in way back in the day, when i learned english (in two different english speaking countries) Back in the day—when people spoke English, in contradistinction to the bastardized postmodern cant used by degenerate anthropoids with pickled brains. i thought i learned that when a singular person of unknown sex was referred to "he" could refer to either sex. Yes. Edit/P.S.: “Back in the day”, women customarily signed their letters with a parenthesized title so that others would know whether to apply “Mrs.” or “Miss”. E.g., “Sincerely, Alice Smith (Mrs.)”. Just sayin’... Thank you for this breath of fresh air. My mother was a high school English teacher and my father was a journalist/writer so I appreciate good grammar, composition, and spelling. Sure I may resort to colloquialism and cliches (and dangling participles is something I'm guilty of! Sentence fragments too.) but when bad grammar crosses the line and becomes illogical, I see red. I'm sorry, but something as illogical as using a plural pronoun in for a singular person is totally unacceptable. It not only is inaccurate but if the sex of the person in question is known, it is somewhat deceitful to hide it. There's a reason for pronoun gender. It more accurately describes the person it represents. Whenever possible a specific person should be referred to as "he" or "she". If it's a non-specific person, one should use "he or she" "he/she", "(s)he" or simply "he" if one is too lazy to spell the longer versions. One could even use "it" in certain cases (oh boo hoo hoo that's so dehumanizing!) . "They" is totally unacceptable. I'm sorry if being gender-specific offends some whiny little SJWs but accuracy is more important. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Seems like we double bottomed in the $99xx range... currently $10460USD/$13697CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Time to head back up. Go Bitcoin go. I ONLY visit the WO thread on bitcointalk.org. I always have a tab open on WO thread. If they delete WO thread, they delete bitcointalk.org for me. WO members are the real bitcoiners. No fake shit and bullshit like on reddit and twitter. I don't read this WO thread to post for some merit, otherwise I could have been Legendary a long time ago. Been on this site since 2011, only registered in 2013. Who gives a fuck about merit when you have bitcoin.
If nobody gives a fuck about merit they would have had no problems with disabling merit on this thread  If you're not getting any merits from this thread, then you don't really have a problem, right? Unless you give a ... You can ignore merit and just mind your own business. Nobody would have a problem with that. I was replying to a person who said nobody gave a shit about merit, clearly i do Maybe we should consider getting rid of the merit system altogether. It's just a silly little popularity contest. Almost as bad as having a "like" button. Are people that starved for attention? It's like posting selfies or Tiktok videos. Look at me. Look at me. Good thing that other whiny thread is locked. Delete Wall Observer? Ridiculous. Gappie said it best. Wall observer is where real bitcoiners hang out. Stray outside this thread and most of what you see is a quagmire of foolish "technical" analysis, shitcoinery, and attempts to lower Bitcoin to the level of a mere investment. Bitcoin is about decentralization, freedom from banks and governments, anti-inflation, and pseudonymity. Sure, there are many mere speculators in the Wall Observer, but this is where the people who really care about Bitcoin hang out. Most of the OG early adopters who hang out here have already attained a level of financial independence. This is why they laugh at bearishness and shitcoinery. If you don't like it, there are lots of other threads. |

A good old weekend pump could be on the table  Hope so, else all the nice growth from the last month went down the drain. Nice growth from last month? The nice growth happened in July not August. August was sideways. September has seen prices dip. |

Almost every trader is the worst trader in the world.
The rest are just lucky.
Don't trade, just HoDL.
never trade. you are competing with smarter guys, with deeper pockets, with way more experience and knowledge, them being interconnected but you aren't, they don't play fair, they know everything, you know nothing try to win a match of tennis against a top 20 professional. or a game of chess vs a grandmaster. it would be fun, but would you put meaningful cash on yourself winning? And that's not even counting the house vigorish a.k.a. trading fees and money transfer expenses. Gambling (trading) is a sucker's game. |

I am not sure if we can breath easily until we get above $13,880, no?
$13,880 is the 2019 high, and could provide a bit of a challenge.
Yeah, you're probably right about that. I was just being general about being well over $13k before thinking the battle for $12k is done. |
|

|

Bouncy bouncy. The battle or $12k rages on.
The battle for $9k took 3 months. The battle for $12k is now about a month old.
Once we see $13.5k I think we can breathe easy.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still bouncing generally sideways but with a slight upward trend... currently $11876USD/$15473 (Bitcoinaverage). Still not sure which side of $12k to choose in the poll. It's a toss-up. The battle is far from over. Vitalik's just jealous.  |

Good morn Bitcoinland. One one six two six dollars Bitcoinaverage). Sideways (slightly up) OK but somewhat boring- I need more coffee. Go go Bitcoin go. Go Bitcoin go Bitcoin go. Go go Bitcoin go. 1. Make some of your biggest dreams come true. 2. Otherwise continue to live your life "normal"* *maybe to new living standards, though. I'd get some land, a stable and some horses, a small skatepark and independent energy source(s) for my home, maybe a foreign place for holiday and run/hide purposes. No supercar(s), no castles, no seasteads, no bling, no hos, no blow. Wait... a garden of weeden, maybe. yeah, i guess I think one thing that sinks lottery winners is that it the total cost of ownership of any item far exceeds the mere purchase price. Big houses cost a lot of money over time for upkeep/maintenance, as do Lambos. Rich people budget for this, flash rich people buy big houses for their family members then start getting hit up for repairs, maintenance, etc. Or they buy a "business" that needs a lot of capital that you shovel in because.... well you bought it. Something to think about. All true. They are not used to manage money and many are easy prey for unscrupulous financial advisors, personal bankers, etc. Also, many decide to be excessively generous with other family members etc... or, as you say, decide to start/buy business without having the slightlest idea of how to manage one and, what is even worse, employing family members thus creating a totally unprofitable sink hole that they are afraid to stop on time. That way, and even without ever going into a lambos, hookers and coke spending spree, maybe even before substantially changing their life they find themselves bankrupt (sometimes without being aware of it until years after the fact). Preserving/increasing wealth is a job in itself that requires some skills and dedication, otherwise easy comes easy goes. That being said, I don't think the average OG Hodler would easily fall into above mistakes... It's hard to get rich And not get caught up in it. You must still think poor. Ignore your new wealth And spend like you always did When you were dirt poor. Scrimp on ev'rything Keep your spending just as low As in poverty. It's never easy And in time you'll find that you'll Be spending faster. Hopefully by then You'll have saved enough money And built good habits. You can start living Happily ever after. Don't be n-word rich. Hookers, Lambos, blow Are obviously just traps That keep suckers poor. |

Not that I can remember the last time an actual wall was mentioned
Probably had something to do with Donald Trump. |

I was wondering the other day where our Belgium WO friend went. He used to post many pictures of food and drink at quality restaurants. Can't seem to find any of his posts in the history of this thread.
Mic? Changed his name to Dude. Still eatin', still postin'. |

Anyone observing the er... price?  Yep. currently $11501USD/$15166CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Edit: Just to nitpick, I should point out that this thread is about observing bid/ask walls not the price.  |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Bouncy bouncy, end up sideways... currently $11501USD/$15166CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Moar coffee please. everyone here knows we all lie about owning corn. we just like to act like big shots who made it big.
Some brag it up. Some brag it down. Just misclicked on Speculation: guys there is a whole bunch of other people out there!
Scary, isn't it? Let's build a wall. |

Anyway, he will be just another anecdote in the meteoric rise of bitcoin along side Mindrust.
A little thought for all the conspiracy theorists around here: Maybe Mindrust didn't sell his entire stash at the bottom. Maybe he just said that. Maybe he really doubled his stash and kept it quiet. Maybe it was his boating accident and his new smaller stash is all he wants to show. Maybe...    |
