Hey, thanks to them even those who couldn't attend will turn blue by the end of the month.

Thanks, guys.

Yes. I would not be bothering with TA at present. There are already people saying it's back to business as usual. Let's revisit that in 2-3 more weeks when Donald is ranting through his ventilator and people are eating their own tootsies to survive.

It will be business as usual at some point. This point certainly isn't it.

If you can manage that then you're already further ahead than 99% of people out there ever will be. It's very easy to say that when things are boring or you don't have large amounts on the line. Only the truly icy can maintain that when things are popping left, right and centre.

The truly valuable diamonds are far beyond the means of normal buyers.

What you're left with is what De Beers has hoarded out the back and is selling on the high street. And that is not a store of value. The chances are good that you will not recover the money you put into it. They'll always be worth something to someone. That is not what most people would be looking for if they have an investment mind set.

I don't understand why more people aren't assuming that the more crypto buyers there are the greater the overlap there'll be with stock markets because they're the same people.

The earliest owners may never have been near a stock market in their entire lives and still plenty of newbies here never have. The newcomers arriving and making powerful buys did not get that money from using their graphics card back in the day. They came from conventional markets.

Correct. Before I got into BTC my only form of levity was whoopee cushions and fake dog turds left on the tongues of my nearest and dearest.

Now I can tell four hour dick jokes.

In what possible universe is a desktop wallet safer?

It certainly is if it's on a machine that has never and will never see the internet again. Linux on something connected might be OK, I don't know enough about it.

If it's on a connected Windows machine, which is what most people will settle for, you'd be leaving yourself open to a million back doors that you won't know about until you coinage is gone.

I would always choose a phone wallet over a desktop Windows wallet.

He will come round your house with a paving slab and drive it into your forehead repeatedly until it comes out the back.

Then somehow BSV fans will claim that as a tech triumph because why not?

Y'all need to get your soiled buns to Ascension Island where there is no supply problem at all.

However toilet paper costs $1 per roll even when there isn't a worldwide pandemic.

Because enough 'institutional investors' own enough BTC now. The first to go will be their riskiest asset. Same goes for less professional money.

Plustoken could be a thing too of course.

It's too soon to make calls about anything so let's see what happens in the coming weeks. You can claim uncorrelated when the wider market has basically done the same thing since Bitcoin was born - go up. When it stops doing that things might become a bit more definitive.

Bitcoin is going to get boned up the arse just like everything else. It'll eventually come back just like everything else too. Until then it's going to have a few more scares in store.

The only upside until the actual upside will be turning more people off normal money and on to alternatives that aren't the playthings of the desperate.

One of life's great pleasures is going to one of those Coinstar machines and feeding in vast amounts of coins. I can't think of much that's more satisfying.

However the most striking thing about the process is the colour of your hand after sifting through all of those coins. You finish up with a thick layer of grey grime. That often makes me wonder.

This seems like a perfectly sensible move to me. However it does nothing to stop spreadage once it's out of their control.



There's nothing else in daily life that people handle on a near constant basis that has been handled by countless other unknowns. And they're heating cash, not burning it.

I feel deeply, deeply let down.

As soon as the irony stopped that mofo was dust.

Yeah. Fuck Greenaddress. I sampled it briefly and did not find it reassuring or intuitive at all. I seem to remember the desktop version of Jaxx at least having some security flaws and it looks like they haven't bothered with Segwit yet either on their latest wallet.

I've used Mycelium for years without any complaints at all. Note that is the Android version which is actively developed. Do not use it on iOS. That's abandoned.

When it's just empty lies about his own lies and magnificence it doesn't really matter. You could've had Mike the headless chicken as president and America would've ticked along adequately so far.

The present situation ain't no joke and it's pretty easy to guess how he's going to react to it as it develops. When he's giving up a thumbs up and boasting about his low numbers as he looms over a grandma puking up her own pelvis in a tent in a car park that will resonate rather powerfully.

My grandmother had a bidet in every bathroom. I didn't know what they were for many years or why they were there. Turns out she tore her sphincter to shreds getting a leg caught in a ladder and falling off it and it was a useless flap of skin from then on. I guess that made toilet time a rather messy and unpredictable business.

Cool story etc.

There are zero positive signs for the world economy and in no scenario do I see any jolliness rubbing off onto BTC. It's going to get a kicking alongside everything else. When the only thing its ever known - a smooth ascent upwards from rekt - breaks then it's time to forget comparing it to previous behaviour and expect the unexpected.

We can be sure that by the time it's played out conventional monetary policy will be more deranged than ever and BTC will look more logical than ever. It could be a rocky ride in the meantime. No doubt governments and banks will go all out to combat it so all kinds of strangeness could happen.

Minimum wage in Nigeria is somewhere around that level.

And as you say there would've been people hammering multiple accounts. I can imagine whole rooms full of them. Text spinning is a wonderful way for the family to bond together.

You think you're a genius with your 'toilet hack' for the first few wipes. Then you realise all it's doing it smearing it all over your undercarriage. Then your anus realises it has been sand papered and reminds you of it every few seconds for the next couple of weeks.

I'd go for leaves every day of the week.

I wonder how much filth is on the average banknote vs the buttons on a card payment machine. The cash could've been laying dormant for days. A card machine in a supermarket will have been fingered by people who've been fingering rancid rent boys ten minutes before. I'll be using a pencil from now on if it goes above the contactless limit.

As for the original theme of the thread, no one gives a shit. Other than hopeful Bitcoin fans of course.
