Good morning Bitcoinland.

Barting up and down and most of the way back up again... currently $11885USD/$15906CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Obviously the battle for $12k is far from over. Let's hope it doesn't take as long as $9k did.

Go Bitcoin go.


If you couldn't see that I was being sarcastic, you've obviously got your blinders on even tighter than usual. I was mocking some clown who claimed he worked so hard on his immune system he shouldn't wear a mask.

No I don't work hard. I haven't driven a car since 1966 (except once in an emergency). When I originally got my license, it was a  snap. Passed the test with ease on my first try.

Driving is no big thing. I compare it with operating a vacuum cleaner. If I have to do it myself, no problem, but I'd rather have someone else do it.

Happy $12k.

First of all, any international travel is foolish until Covid-19 is brought under control. I'll assume you're talking about how it was pre-covid. No one knows what it will be like post-covid. Things have changed.

Personally, I'd feel safer driving through Mexico than driving through the USA, although if you stayed on the interstates, that might not be too bad.

Don't believe all the MSM bullshit about Mexico being a dangerous place to travel. The cartels don't bother foreigners unless they stick their noses in cartel business or flash wealth around, especially in areas dependent on tourism, which includes most of Mexico. They understand that their wealth depends on a healthy economy. This is the reason they have been providing massive food relief to the poor during the pandemic and have been enforcing face mask wearing while the government has been doing nothing. If you're caught in Playa del Carmen without a mask, you've gotta deal with the cartels, who can't be bought off for a few pesos like the local cops.

The ones to fear while traveling on the highways away from tourist areas are the Federales who might relieve you of anything they find, but they are less of a threat due to efforts by AMLO to replace them with the much less corrupt military.

Obviously in any place you don't know, you should stay on the beaten path, avoid bad neighborhoods and avoid flashing wealth or acting rich and arrogant, especially after dark.

As for borders, I'd worry more about entering the USA. Never had a problem at either Mexican or Canadian borders. Then again I've never driven. I do know that importing automobiles into Mexico is a hassle. Don't know about simply driving in and out as a tourist. Might be easier and cheaper to simply fly and rent a car if you really think you need to drive. It depends on what you plan to do there. Public transportation is cheap.

Good morn Bitcoinland.
Eleven grand six hundred
(Bitcoinaverage).

No face mask seat belt
Discussions this morning please...
Only Bitcointalk.

Sideways is boring.
Time to start moving upward
Over twelve thousand.

So go Bitcoin go.
Fly all the way to the moon.
Make us hodlers rich.

Or at least richer.
With health, friends and family
We're already rich.

OMG What will the insurance companies do?

Damn those nanny-state drivers' licenses.

Am I being forced to be responsible for other people's safety?

If people don't want to share the road with unlicensed drivers, they should stay home.  

I work hard at being a safe driver. I resent the deep state questioning my ability to drive safely.

It's sad to see people allowing their lives to be turned into political issues.

Couldn't have said it better.

No sense trying to reason with anti-mask crybabies. They've been so brainwashed with political propaganda they think everyone's out to steal their freedom. I'm surprised they haven't targeted drivers' licenses as abuses of the nanny state.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still basically sideways but with a slight upward drift... currently $11761USD/$14742CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Maybe $12k over the weekend?


I could have also mentioned life jackets in speedboats (I don't need one, I'm a good swimmer!), safety harnesses, or any other life-saving devices.

I was comparing safety devices that crybabies won't use because they don't want to be told what to do by some "nanny state". No one's telling me what to do. Boo hoo hoo.

I suppose it was not a true comparison though... sea belts protect the wearer, while face masks protect everyone.


Seat belts are leashes. This is how wild and free animals are tethered in the highway circus.  

My heartfelt sympathy and wishes for a speedy recovery. Be thankful she had enough sense to wear a seat belt.


No effing kidding. First time I had my life saved by a seat belt (concrete median of freeway after black ice skid) it felt like someone had hit me across the chest with a baseball bat. That was before airbags. I imagined what a dashboard to the face would have felt like.

The last time a seat belt saved my life was in a head-on collision (truck-on-truck) at highway speed. Took them 2 hours to pry me out of the wreckage with the jaws of life. Luckily, for the second hour I had an oxygen tube to suck on. I could barely breathe.

The seven ribs broken by the seat belt definitely saved my life. They also taught me how to ignore pain. What doesn't kill you most definitely makes you stronger, also makes you appreciate life and not be a pessimist loser.

When I see people refusing to wear face masks during a pandemic it reminds me of the retards who refuse to wear a seat belt. You know the type... when they see a cop they'll pull the belt down and stick it under their leg, refusing to click it shut. Nobody's telling them to wear a seat belt. They'll rationalize why they shouldn't wear one... it'll trap you in the vehicle, it'll destroy your immune system, you're more likely to be magically thrown free, breathing your breath back in will asphyxiate you, etc., etc.

Seat belts save lives. So do masks.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Going basically sideways... currently $11628USD/$15550CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.


That Ledger Nano is a lead weight compared to a paper wallet.

I also have donated to Wikipedia but not recently since they won't accept anonymous contributions.

If you click on "Other Ways to Give", they accept Bitcoin but steer you to Bitpay instead of simply posting an address to make donations to.

Bitpay wants you to identify yourself. Screw that.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still creeping slowly upward... currently $11866USD/$15760CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Slow and steady wins the race.

Go Bitcoin go.

I have no intention to sell according to price.

I plan to keep buying when I can and sell as little as possible when I must. The current price has nothing to do with it. In the long run, the price will keep rising despite short-term ups and downs.

Selling a significant amount at $20k would be as foolish as selling for $33 in 2013 or $1.2k in 2017.

I see we're saying exactly the same thing.

Some conspiracy theories are bullshit, but that doesn't mean they all are.

i.e. Use your brain.

With all the conspiracy theorist propaganda out there, it's easy for the weak-minded to be brainwashed.

That said, don't be a conspiracy denier either. Of course the examples you listed are laughable but that doesn't mean that what Edward Snowden pointed out is also bullshit.

Plandemic and chemtrail mind control may be imaginary but covid and PRISM are very real.

Be neither conspiracy theorist nor conspiracy denier... i.e. use your brain.

Doh. Of course covid has crippled international travel. What was I thinking?

Then again, by the time this bull run peaks (near the end of 2021?), hopefully we'll have covid under control. There are tourism-dependent countries all around the world anxiously waiting for a chance to open up again.

As for the Rothschilds and Rockefellers destroying Bitcoin, let them try. They're already trying.

Make a bad media campaign?  Already happening. Ban Bitcoin? Tried that too. It doesn't work.

I'm also almost all in Bitcoin and I'm not worried. I buy and sell my coins face-to-face with real people, no companies, no machines.

The only way they can shut it down is by shutting down the internet and they depend on it too much themselves.

Don't worry.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Starting to creep back up after the big correction... currently $11430USD/$15345CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Onward and upward, but not too fast.

Go Bitcoin go.


Then why sell half your coins? If you don't trust fiat, stocks, gold or real estate, why not keep your profits in Bitcoin?

I don't know why traveling is impossible for you but if that's what you want to do most, that's what you should be doing.

I hope you don't feel tied down by some silly little career/job.

Didn't we have basically the same poll not long ago?

I voted the same as last time... 1-10%, only because I know I'll have to sell some just to pay the bills.

Otherwise, it's zero of course.

Edit:

I just realized that it would actually be <1% but there was no option for that.
