So he claims it will be at least 6 years until we return to ATH, on no evidence whatsoever. 

I read into the blog that blogger subscribes to the 'time stretch between successive peaks' theory.

I find it ignorant of the underlying economics of the issuance halvening cycle, but it seems at least more than 'no evidence whatsoever'.

@BoB, what about this pattern and climbing btw??

As your friend, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. You won't need much, just a tiny taste.

Then put a ring on that finger of hers.

Just stay away from Thirty-fourth and Vine.

[^^^may be culturally cryptic]

Speaking of which, I am once again just due east of Carolina.

[^^^may be culturally even more cryptic]

About 5km this time. Perhaps 5x closer to Carolina portends something?

Southern Poverty Law Center turns out to be criminal, anti-white, Jewish hate group.  Who would have guessed?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-23/splc-implodes-president-and-legal-director-resign-after-co-founder-ousted-over

Quote from: the article
The way Moser tells it, the center’s chief founder, Morris Dees, who was dismissed unceremoniously last week for unspecified reasons, discovered early on that he could rake in boatloads of cash by convincing “gullible Northern liberals” that his group is doing the hard work of fighting “hate.”

But the center’s supposed mission of combating bigotry doesn’t actually matter to its top brass, Moser says. It’s just a business choice and one that has been extremely lucrative throughout the years. Moser’s article reminds readers of the time Dees actually said of the SPLC in an interview with then-Progressive magazine reporter John Egerton, “We just run our business like a business. Whether you’re selling cakes or causes, it’s all the same.” -Washington Examiner

So Google is basically finding ways to trick noobs out of their Bitcoins by getting them interested in shitcoins. Good job Google!
Google is a paid shill for the mainstream media I think. All they care is the data and business using the data. What more do you expect from them?
Google made from a mistake,so don't expect everything you find on Google was cent percent right.

Actual domain they were looking to create is Googol.
That's interesting.

After a quick search:
1 googol =1.0 × 10100
google = search for information about (someone or something) on the Internet using the search engine Google.

The 2nd one, was it really the meaning or they changed it to make a meaning for google after google become google?


And 1 googolplex =1.0 × 10googol. A factoid I learned back in 1965 or so, from the book "Answers and More Answers", which I received as a Christmas present. Evidently, I wore the 'rents down with an incessant stream of 'but whys' and 'but hows'. I guess I was an infojunkie long before the dawn of the innerwebs.

The "problem" is bitcoin is still new and regulators haven't found a way to protect investors from getting manipulated.

I could do without their 'help'.

And by 'help', I mean meddlesome restrictions barring voluntary action. Under color of law.

Its not for you though. Its for people who want to trade bitcoin like it was a stock.

Fair enough. I tender the proposition that people who want to trade bitcoin like it was a stock don't need meddlesome restrictions barring voluntary action. Especially under color of law.

What's the point of "fully scaling" if nobody uses your coin?

BCH blockchain size: 167.20 GB
BSV blockchain size: 169.49 GB
BTC blockchain size: 244.81 GB

BCH active addresses: 23,353
BSV active addresses: 8,198

Does anybody know if I am legally required to permit my landlord entry for strictly unnecessary renovations?

The correct answer is doubtless dependent upon jurisdiction.

Now another great news in the crypto world India trying that perfect performance for crypto I think this is the good news for everyone, every Indian can easily buy/sell Cryptocurrencies freedom free.

Indian Exchange Launches Lending Program for 5 Cryptocurrencies

An Indian crypto exchange has launched a program that allows its users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies held at the exchange. Initially, users can lend BTC, USDT, BNB, XRP, and ETH. The CEO of the exchange has shared details about this new offering with news.Bitcoin.com.


Hmm. Experience hath shewn that interest on crypto is typically intertwined with scam-ism. Not you private key, not you bitcoin. Repeat....

None wrong at all.

Debt is a large part of the problem with the modern economy.

Agreed...

Maybe it's time to rethink if it should even be legal to make money simply by lending it on an industrial scale.

Criminalize voluntary behavior? I don't think so.

Especially when it is fabricated out of thin air.

I think you finally arrived at what the problem is. When banks lend money (at least here in the US), the overwhelming majority of that money is zapped into existence by the mere act of writing the loan. And the bank gets to later collect not only the interest, but indeed the principal thusly created. Which, while being an advantage to the bank conferred by law, would not be immoral in and of itself. The immorality is due to the fact that the writing of a loan does not create wealth (products, services, materials, etc) at the same time that it creates money. Accordingly, more money ends up sloshing around the system chasing the same amount of tangible wealth. Which devalues all money extant previous the loan. The purchasing power of the money loaned into existence is thusly stolen from the purchasing power of the money that existed before the loan was written. This is a very real theft of purchasing power from the people at large. And is the true evil of the partial reserve banking system, as encoded into law.

Another theory is that its just a fake steampunk sort of thing. Can the great hive mind of the Wall rescue me from this predicament?

Leather, brass, obsequious mechanical design, apparently useless? I think you pegged it.

My view is that DNA tests are too dangerous and that there are too many factors to control.  Therefore you should never do them.*

I sense a market opportunity for a middleman.

You pay middleman (via Bitcoin, ofc).
You create keypair.
You send bio sample to middleman, along with public key.
Middleman sends your sample to testing facility with no identifying info.
Testing facility sequences your DNA, sends data to middleman.
Middleman encrypts your test result data, makes it publicly available.
You watch for data (rest results) associated with public key, retrieve data, decrypt, use as you see fit.

Results private, as they not traceable to you.




Funny that i thought about it yesterday as well.
However, there is weak link with your description that I outlined in bold.
When you send a sample, it HAS to be sent with identifying info (you register the sample collection kit on their website).

Yes, but it doesn't have to identify _you_. It need only identify the public key you gave middleman.

I guess I just assumed that would be understood without need of explanation.
1858  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 17, 2019, 05:18:43 PM
I think we have already talked about it or I read it in news. I can't recall properly.

Gold has roughly $7 trillion outstanding. If Bitcoin were to replace gold and its market cap soared to $7 trillion, each Bitcoin would be worth around $333,333.

After all 21 million BTC have been mined, Blumer says Bitcoin’s transaction fees will increase but additional scaling solutions, like the Lightning Network, will create cheaper options for transacting Bitcoin.

For a much earlier look at the same problem:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152944.msg1623145#msg1623145

Sure, numbers have changed. But $7T in gold -- according to sources quoted in my post -- is significantly low. By about a factor of two.

For those that say that an electric car can't run the N Ring, that's no longer correct.  The NIO EP9 has run the ring in 6:45.  https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/nio/ep9/97707/nextevs-nio-ep9-all-electric-hypercar-smashes-nurburgring-record-pictures-and-video

That's 2 seconds faster than the 911 GT2 RS

Its all about the V8 sound brother Smiley (for me though)


Understood.  I have friends who feel the same way Smiley

Easily solved with a capable car stereo and suitable synthesis for engine sounds.

I mean, if that's the hill you want to die upon.
