Meanwhile, $BTC sneaks it's way upwards near $52k again on Bitstamp...
A matter of time. Maybe next 24 hours are critical.

/me feels so bullish, it almost hurts (in a good way) #nohomo

4y almost exactly.


Yes, but there are some unexpected costs this month. Once they are covered (and recovered) i can buy corn again.


There's that too, i just don't want to draw money from my BTC holdings. I just would need to buy back later at a higher price.
It's OK for me to just park money in BTC, for mid-term later use, but i already did that with the house extension and maxed out the amount.
So my BTC stash reached #hodl figures again and i will only add to it. Remember the original long term goal: 1 BTC per family member.
This month i can't add anything to it, maybe next month, depending on how things go, but the month after the next, i can add a wee portion of mBTC most certainly.

I guess now you can call me a BTC maxi  

Sometimes that's a down-before-up....

Dear Lord, give me my daily FUD before the storm 
Who in the world like bankers would actually fear something that is "just a scam"?

We are winning.

Forgot to tell this story yesterday:

I was driving on the motorway, in the destination direction i saw a car sign showing "BOSSES" in red letters on it. It must have been from some eastern european country, could not make it out because it was driving in the other direction.
On the way back home i was passed by a Volvo, driving quite some mph faster than me (in my wife's 60HP "supercar"), and the car sign was showing ...wait for it...
"BITCOINS" in black letters, white background. I also couldn't identify the exact country, because some bastard from bulgaria almost crashed into the back of my wife's car a second later, only to follow me with less than 9 feet distance at 75mph (next lane was free).

In short: Seems like King Daddy has touched down in eastern europe, too.

$52k in play today.
rocket base is fueling up, according to the orderbooks.

Defects and therapy bills set me back about -$600 this month, so i can probably resume buying at the end of october.
The fucking lawnmower was repaired for free (warranty), at least  

have a nice day.

EDIT: -$600, not only $600. In addition to my other monthly expenses.

Not really comparable, imo.
I'm only broke in terms of fiat. Costs are higher than the number on my bank account.
Still hodling BTC, not touching a damn Sat.
Shit happens, will recover soon.

It's Sunday, btw.

have a good night and stay healthy!


Actually i'm working to build a business, together with my wife. Living on insurance is fine, but it doesn't replace a meaningful life.
Could take a year or two.
I'll never have a mortgage, ever 

I'm broke.
A brake of my car got defective, also the lawnmower, gotta pay therapy bills (fully refunded, but later in october).
I will still continue with lump-sum spending next month, though.

Are we witnessing "investors" front running Sept. 7th or is this the onset of the real bull thing?

This virus is a different beast. Vaccines are still poorly researched, medication also, it's only vaxx or symptomatic treatment at the time.
We can only successfully combat this virus when the world's people are acting as one. A global shutdown would end this within weeks, but as twisted as we got, there is no real chance to succeed.
I'm also waiting for vaccines that can be inhaled, which creates antibodies in the tissues of nose,throat and lungs. This would stop most of the severe covid cases and also the spreading by vaccinated people, thus decreasing the chance of mutation and "slippage" (viruses adjusting to outplay vaccines).
Q4/2021 at earliest, most probably around the time the "delta wave" is expected to peak. (no conspiracy theories, please)

Get well soon and stay with us, Bob and Rick!
You don't build a f*n ranch with a racetrack just to reach the end of the rope...

Certain asthma sprays effectively help fighting covid19, especially when administered at an early stage.
I'd try to get some of this stuff, ASAP.


EDIT: In the hospital they will give you oxygen, which is only addressing the symptom of low blood oxygen. The root cause for the symptom is the inflamed lung tissue, which has to be fought in the first place. If it's too much, only a combination of antibodies and ventilation, which needs anesthesia, what in turn puts a lot of stress on your system. The point is: Do something that effectively helps fighting it and do it EARLY.

A friend of my wife got Alpha, fever and short breath returned two times, then it was over. No post-symptoms, but she said it felt like someone was sitting on her chest.


Greed, my friend, is what is driving the shitcoin (and NFT) market.
I don't care. Institutions and companies are investing massively in Bitcoin, the more announcements they make within the next weeks, the more shitcoin volume will be pulled over to king daddy. Big money will come from deep pockets this time, retail will jump in right before the blow-off top, but i think the next bearcycle bottom will be higher than it used to be. S-curve onset time, imo.

It's 1 volt per octave, correct. Owning a SH101, Minimoog, Jupiter 8 (used for massive Drum'n Bass saw wave bass sounds) and probably some other models from the golden age of analog synthesis is like having legendary status regarding synths (did i say this before already?).
I had a MS20 (Korg) which was also awesome for raw bass sounds, but also bleeps and fx, sported a patch area, but i guess you also know the synth and probably own one. Korg used a different standard (oct/Hz afair) coming from their system100 modulars. I actually owned two of them (EDIT: MS20, not System 100), because i had to sell the first one because i needed the money, bought a second one later, just to sell it years after for the same reason.
We were a small community of music producers (basement class), coming from hiphop DJ and Alternative Rock bands background. Everybody owned some kind of equipment, so we threw it all together in the basement of one of our members' parents. Got in touch with macOS back then, sporting (emagic's) logic as sequencer.
This was when i played around with some legendary analog gear, before we all went digital with samplers and DAW.
Afaik MIDI was mainly useful for saving and restoring data, and man, as i remember these times, i know i did a lot of midi dumps using the younger digital synths (korg 707, roland d50, the midified, less famous Jupiters) until we could afford an Akai sampler with a 3.5" floppy drive...

I have to respect some OpSec as well, but i can tell so much, that we knew a well known geek personally, who was able to repair all the synths, guitars and electronics.
He bought one of my MS20 for getting replacement parts, while he already owned four (!) of them. He never sold a piece or instrument. Never. Visiting his house was like traveling back in synthesis time.

When i gave up making music, two decades later, with an intermittent decade of workaholism in between, i sold my 5 row modular (Doepfer) and put most of the money into Bitcoin and remaining taxes. I used to send CV via my RME audio interface's outputs before i got an eight channel cv/midi interface. It was awesome, making me able to record, edit and play back all the CV using 44,1Hz rate and 8 bit resolution from the DAW.

Pitch correction like autotune or like an analog pitch quantizer in "full" mode?

EDIT: Bitcoin, do something.

You could define a middle note (c4 or a4) and use pitchbend-like control messages for gliding pitch control.
Much like CV, but in MIDI form. I used that on some occasions with oct/volt equipment and cv-midi interfaces.
Props for the Moog story, by the way. Legend  

While Shinoda's solo album was disappointing. But Chester (RIP), as complicated and emotionally fucked up as a person he might have been, was needed by Shinoda to be able to create the success of LP.

have a nice day 

FYI, baby boy:
Anthraxx/Public Enemy (if not already RunDMC, a couple of years earlier) tied the boots for Nurock bands like LP and LB.
Music is a cultural mini-multiverse in itself.

Still, 900 BTC each day added to total amount of corn. So, if not at least 900 per day are purchased, additionally to the coins in "rotation", price has no reason to go up.
Just my 2c

Aside of that, i feel a lot of peeps "diversify", meaning put some percentage of their stash into hopium shitcoins to achieve moar profit, either $ or BTC.
I read of some "investors" completely out in stablecoins, waiting for sub $40k bitcoin prices.
NFT grabs a lot of attention and money, but i feel like this bubble is about to pop soon. It's quite sad that peeps invest so much fiat money or bitcoin into shit, but what else would you expect people do with all the Brrrrrrr they get?

EDIT: of course, i expect all the money which is not "lost" within shitcoin lotteries to come back into BTC and central bank controlled stablecoins (look at china), though central banks will try everything to get rid of Bitcoin, which we - of course - know is impossible.

Don't go suicidal, will you?

Only idiots would see themselves as brilliant.
At least he was brilliant enough to see that self-substraction would be best.
