edit: how to integrate a youtube video here?
LOL It is being implemented in the forum software upgrade. Just need to be patient.Yeah, I used to hate the forum engine. Sucked balls (and still sucks TBH). That was the reason I postponed registering for so long. But I've grown to like the simplicity of it. Clean, fast, and with the help of browser zoom and Dark Reader, perfectly readable. Wish some solution existed for easy mobile phone browsing/posting... |

I need to know what animal this is:  Bull? No. Bear? Nope. Pony & giraffe crossbreed? Could be. Is it domestic? And...can it really sing? |

1 month rental apartment 1 bedroom junior size $30000
And the largest single dice bet was 7k BTC... back in 2013. I saw it live. On the dice site itself (it had a chat room too.)
Man, that's something! bought a $900K miner from HashFast Inc. back in 2013.  Damn! Nearly $1M! I visited a friend yesterday and saw the bike that I had gifted him. a nice $180k bicycle. not sure if he really knows what it means to ride germanys most expensive bike.
Awesome!
Maybe we should make a list of things we bought with BTC and how much they now cost... What's sad is that most of those things are not worth any more now than they did when we bought them. So, we effectively gave something which was (still is, and very likely will be) hugely appreciating in value, to obtain something that has kept (and most likely lost) its value. Not saying we should indefinitely HoDL. But wasting those precious sats when we can have what we want with our fiat income? Not so sure it's a wise move... tl;dr: HoDL (for now). Don't waste BTC for a cup of coffee. It's meant for BIGGER things! |

That's EPIC! In my case, I'm currently using a $2000 Trezor... At least we haven't been eating $90M pizzas (yet)! |

BTW (OT), I'm a big fan of Dark Mode, and have been using Dark Reader for sometime, in WO and in many other sites. Actually discovered it from a post here in WO. I read (here in WO too) that this may be a security threat due to leaking site data, etc. Just visited Dark Reader's official site, and noticed that it's an open-source project, and very highly respected, which put my mind at rest somewhat... What do you guys think? Would you consider Dark Reader a security threat. Any known cases? Or should we start using Tor on a Linux Live DVD for all things Bitcoin? Bitcoin's ever rising value makes us reconsider certain approaches to the way we do things... I suppose this is fairly paranoid. But I have come to believe that there will ALWAYS be something about my internet connected computers and phones that is a security threat. I have basically given up on keeping these things secure. Therefore hardware wallets and disconnected old laptops running Tails. That said... I am an IT person. The latter is not a trivial undertaking to do correctly. And i figure many here could handle it... but we are elite in that regard. Security and UX is STILL bitcoin's #1 and other #1 Achilles heel. I suppose so... I also never keep coins on hot wallets. Always on h/w wallets, with seeds backed up on non-electronic media, except a wallet on my phone in which there's strictly only LFC's game prize coins (then worth $50, currently worth more than $100). I live to see the day when that wallet warns me that it's dangerous to carry so much money on my phone!  My concern was more OPSEC-related. Problem is, if we take this to the extreme, we lose convenience and end up using Tor + Tails. Will risk using Firefox + Dark Reader for WO activities for now, it looks so much better... Hope I won't ever get the $5 wrench treatment! |

What I like about this month's big pump is that the few dumps that attempted to destroy it were quickly eaten out. This shows a strong upward momentum, which I hope will soon take us to ATH and beyond.
It's dumping again as I type this... Let's see... Will the above hold true?
In any case, I would still HoDL and wait.
And back up she goes... That's Bitcoin. Never ceases to amaze us! I am happy I sold 2 pieces
1 piece at 17900 and 1 piece at 18200
Not a bad move, provided you either buy back lower, or use the money to make an immediate and necessary purchase. In any other case, I think you will end up at a loss. Not criticizing your move, it's the psychological aspect of it too.

Never thought about it like that. Wow. Just WOW! Of course, this applies to HoDLers only. Day traders or those who sold are a different story. |

Imagine those who sold at $4k and never bought back... A few months later, we are now 430% of that value... Man, that's got to hurt.
If anything, Bitcoin has taught me the following:
1. Math & science are always right. Use them to understand what you invest on.
2. Be patient. Consider that banks give you 0.5% per year interest (soon negative).
3. When in doubt, zoom out and refer to (1).
4. The earth may seem flat when you're on it, but it's really spherical. Apply (3).
5. A dip only delays the inevitable rise. Don't be scared of it. BTFD!
6. Day trading is used to transfer coins from the impatient to the patient (2).
7. Warren Buffett was right when he said that you should make money when you sleep.
8. HoDLing is the best strategy to achieve (7).
9. A green dildo is better than a rusty pipe (or mind). #nohomo
HoDL.

Taking the 1 Bitcoin without any hesitation because i don't like having a fat ass lying in my bed every night. Yeah, these asses are FAT. Almost artificially fat. Not even a sat for those. OK, maybe a tiny fraction of a BTC. But 1 BTC? They WISH! Edit: Somehow they remind me of the Bogdanoff twins... |

LFC Bitcoin Price IndicatorTM: $98* (96% gain)I predict that a time will come, when I'll be able to use LFC's prize money to fly to the UK, spend a weekend with him in Liverpool (beers included), and fly back home. And that time may be sooner than we think. Onwards & upwards. HoDL.* Explanation.

In 2017, a couple of friends asked me how to get into crypto. I told them "not crypto, Bitcoin!" They said it was too expensive, and bought Ripple and Lumen instead. They pumped, my friends ended up with 10x their initial investment. I told them "sell them NOW and buy Bitcoin!" They didn't listen to me. Yesterday, I was chatting with one of them, and casually mentioned that Bitcoin is pumping and we'll soon reach ATH and beyond. He was not so happy. He changed the subject...  |

(My pain and fatigue story)
i had no clue about all this. wishing you the best for your health. Thanks, man  Appreciating it! It all started after a viral infection which started out with very low fever but kept me busy about four weeks, followed by fatigue and muscle weakness. Doctors said it's a burnout (i was a workaholic, but i didn't really suffer from it), so they reccomended b-vitamins, those made me get better to some degree, but some more health problems came up at the time, because i didn't address them before ( sorry, i had to work  ) FMS seems to "make whimps out of men", as some victims are describing it, and i can totally understand that point of view, but i got used to a lot of pain from skateboarding already, and i also wasn't the type that tends to give up on himself. Additionally, i was positive about whatever life was throwing at me, most of the time at least. Taking an extra 250mg of Thiamine (five times the usual dose) resolved all this within a matter of three days.
Five? Are you sure about that? The US RDA for Thiamine is about 1.2mg/day. Right. 50mg was my daily dose (added to 4mg from my daily b-vitamin pills), an absolute minimum to be able to cope with an ordinary day. It's a lot better in summer (an FMS fact, as i also found out lately). Doing more physical work requires higher doses, if you don't want to get the pain and fatigue for days afterwards. It's tricky, because as long as you are active, you don't get really exhausted, but after you stop and start to relax, the hammer comes and hits you. Warning: Nohomo is the least funny joke in the universe. It was that unfunny the first time and to this day. Everyone sprouting it over and over thinking its hilarious. :roll:
I wasn't aware of it as much as a joke, but more like a statement. Just saw this, and your other post (too many beers...). Thanks for sharing, all the very best! We all will have to deal with health issues at some point in our lives, and it is then when we realise how important our health is. Even 1,000,000 BTC is worthless to you if you can't enjoy it. That's why we have to seize the moment and enjoy our lives whenever we can, and not postpone things for "later"... |

Posting from mobile, sorry if post doesn't look so good. With good friends, having a BBQ, drunk as hell, don't know what I'm typing... Hope auto correct works well...
Fuck COVID-19, fuck everything. Just enjoy life, we only live once, give love and enjoy. Bitcoin will take care of the rest.
Don't know where the price is. Don't care, coz I know it will be higher in the long run.
I love you all, WO has a special place in my heart, I'm pretty sure it's the beer talking, but it's what I really feel, so I love you all brothers and sister.
Take care all...........

Such wonder and awe,
The Wall Observer exerts,
To those who read it.
A magic shroom thread,
It's got everything covered,
To your heart's delight.
From the ancient Greeks,
And their beautiful sculptures,
To Nietzsche, and more...
Need a guide for drugs?
Wanna see Elvis again?
Instructions are here.
Left-wingers who swear,
Right-wingers who cannot spell,
Blame the cat for that!
It all seems so weird,
Alice In Wonderland stuff...
Down the hole we go!
These are the reasons,
My Ignore List is empty,
And always will be!

Breaking News; World’s second-biggest bank embraces bitcoin.The second-biggest bank in the world is the latest institution to embrace bitcoin.
China Construction Bank (CCB) has announced that it is working with digital securities exchange Fusang to raise up to $3 billion through a publicly-listed debt security on a blockchain.
A special purpose vehicle has been established for the purpose of issuing the “Longbond.” Retail investors will be able to purchase digital tokens on the Fusang exchange using dollars or bitcoin, with investments of as little as $100, Finextra reports. Further down they mention Bitcoin, but phrases like " a blockchain" make me feel a little wary... |

Smart move of Bob, to sell at $16250. At least in the short term.
For us small fish, it's still HoDL mode, 'til next year at least, it seems.

Today was a good day Rick is officially planning his exit/retirement tonight Please let us know the form of Rick’s retirement announcement. please do. will it be a "sod off" announcement and split immediately or will he give the traditional two weeks notice (or whatever). personally i gave a few weeks just to ensure a smooth transition to my replacement but not that management cared, they are work to rule (whatever its called). they can fire anyone for no reason and people can quit with no notice. im old school though so did the notice. I've posted about this before, about "FUCK YOU!" slides in PowerPoint presentations, etc., but I'd never really do it IRL. It's just not me. I'd rarely say FUCK YOU to anyone (in real life or online). Not necessary. I would not drop to their level. If someone deserves to receive such words, I'd let my actions do the talking. As you say, I'd give a few weeks notice, so that the department can prepare and adjust. I'd also offer to help for a while, in case they need something that only I know how to do. Even training my successor, if necessary (with pay, on my terms). I'd do a big party on my last day at work, all costs on me. The good guys will be happy for me, the haters will end up self-suffering because of their own hatred and envy. It's the universe's way of balancing things... |
