I thought Elon was smart. Bummer  But maybe he was smart enough to send down the price just to buy moar. However, propagating that environmental bullshit story wasn't quite a sign of cleverness in the first place, was it? EDIT: Saylor hasn't educated him enough, it seems... * OutOfMemory has no spare cash to buy the dip  |

Every time Bitcoin price fell to the low $54000 and then again pulled back, how long the uptrend will take resume?
Bulls might busy on other side, unless the bulls bought the dips won't see $60K..
There's constant uptrend, and also outflow from exchanges. Just these regular dumps to certain ranges start to smell fishy, but it can't go on forever. Some characters take advantage of some kind of manipulation, and regarding the price and periodic aspect, i think it's about accumulation. More on the conspiracy side, regularly pulling down bitcoin to make it look unprofitable could also be an explanation - could be, but that's all conspiracy theory for sure. |

BTW, Graysclale is currently corn-holing their bitcoin investors (like myself in IRA) as GBTC is at almost record discount to btc (fluctuating between -15-18%).
Someone wants off of that wagon (GBTC).
Why Wall Street ALWAYS making s-t out of everything?
That's their job. Exploiting opportunities for their own gains and shit on other's heads at the same time. |

Time for bed. I'd like to place a wake-up call for $61,000 please.
Placed. I hope it's not going off in 2024  Been pretty busy lately, building, planning, constructing, building, repairing. This week it's not too bad to NOT have time to check the BTC price too often  Alts are the new stonks now? EDIT: Can't remember to whom i talked about e-drums here lately, but i managed to get a used Alesis dm10 pro mkII in good (refurbished) condition at a bargain price. It has about 8ms latency on the heads, which is good enough for me, as it's a learning/practice kit for the family. There's a slightly longer delay on the cymbals, but i can barely feel it. Might depend on settings, too. The decision to buy this one was based on the extra 12" tom and 2nd crash cymbal, extra snare stand and an X-Hat, which is a "normal" 2-cymbals variant for open/half open/close sounds, mounted on a regular hihat stand. I would have liked a Roland for 4ms latency, but there were none available used nearby, and i don't even remember one within the last few months when i was looking for used e-kits occasionally. EDIT2: BTC, if bouncing right now at around $56.200 should be fine. |

I'm thinking about a Roland or Yamaha e-Kit lately, time to teach the kids playing the drums BUT i hate the sound of those rubber muting pads, while i prefer real drumshells/heads, though...
Or do i just have luxury problems?
When it comes to instruments, i'd say: for sure!
Books and instruments: the only goods I can't resist buying without remorse...I've got the "old" Roland TD9 set with upgrade. A billion sound kits of which I use (and like) only one, but that's all you need, rite. I remain impressed by the realistic feel of these pads (I've played on far less comfortable acoustic sets), but I'll never get used to the sound of hitting them. It's difficult to ignore, especially if you keep the volume low in your speakers or headphones, as I do. No thing like the real thing, but if like me, you have direct neighbours, there's no alternative and therefore I believe it's a perfectly acceptable compromise. A used TD-9 will cost you hardly BTC0.0125 at actual USD price, so if the kids change their mind, you'll not have to go begging in the streets to fill that hole in your holiday budget.  What do you mean by "old"? Are new editions, and how can i distinguish them from the "old" one(s)? In my area, they are a bit more, like $800. Still, for a good, responsive e-kit - not too much. By "in my area" i mean the closest one about a two hour drive away, about a dozen in a city about two more hours by car. I would want to have a look at least and try out the kit(s). But i can wait a while, i guess. I was living now for over ten years without hitting drums, with the exception of steel tongue drums and a cajon |

Hmmm... lots of colleagues around here, it seems. There are a few more I know for sure, but they're keeping silence in this discussion. I will put drums on any song you like. Wanna hear a sample? Here... i was setting up a bunch of mics on this low end "too many toms" kit I have in the studio right now and wanted to hear a balance of the kit and also make sure all the toms were making it in OK which is why it's so masturbatory. https://www.sndup.net/53qmWhat a show off! Want a bit of criticism? All right, OK, I'll STFU.  Well, the timing isn't perfect *runs* LOL - He didn't play to a click track or metronome, that's why. I was always bad at playing to click tracks, but the groove is pretty cool and shows quite some ambitions. Trapping in a room with windows is useless. Better even out the reverb times with Helmholtz resonator panels, gives a natural, not too dead room sound. Ultimately, you build a floating room in the dimensions you want the low frequency resonances/standing waves to be wiped out. You'd need some more Bitcoins for that, though Do you have good experience with Helmholtz resonators? I wanted to have a taste, and I built a "bottle" (box, not panel), but I found the resonant freq can get amplified, especially in the case of a narrow-band Helmholtz box - that is, the ones without any absorption inside. According to my sources, a thin layer of absorption (rockwool etc) inside the box will "smear" the freq response of the device, which is usually desired. Not willing to invest too much in treatment with an uncertain bang-for-buck factor, or possibly even detrimental, I dropped the Helmholtz project. But if you have a good experience to report, or can point me to reliable sources, I'm totally willing to reconsider. As it is now, I'm fine with my extensive rockwool paneling, but a little more low and low-mid absorption, shorter RF times etc., can never hurt ;-) I know helmholtz resonator panels only in theory and by listening to before/after room samples. Successfully using them means precise measurement of the room, to know where which frequency ranges have to be trapped. Good room were sounding like crystal clear, but more alive than the usual damped-to-death counterparts. I heard rooms with reverb times of 0.3 to 0.5 secs. Awesome. Getting rid of reflections from the mixing desks and outboard racks is maybe as difficult as controlling reverb time over frequency bands. Best listening/recording environment is open space (in the desert for example. |

Doge taking BTC down with it and ETH only mildly affected. Not a good look, when a shitcoin can bring down the gold standard in the space.
Ok, a little education time. Shitcoin indexes are tied to Bitcoin, and thus shitcoin bot trading will move up and down with BTC price. If whales want to dump shitcoins and really move those markets, they will also dump some BTC at the same time. When btc dumps, shitcoins dump more. And that's exactly what they did. Who didn't see the big Doge dump coming on Elon's big night on SNL? I knew that's what the whales were gunning for over a week ago. So no, the doge shitcoin did not "bring down Bitcoin". Btc was dumped on purpose. Yep. Looking at the hourly, from May 5th onwards you can see a clear uptrend channel, where btc price is oscillating up and down. Supports your thesis, imho. We hit $59k already. We can't always only go up, short term. |

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.
Basically, he is kind of joking around. DOGE is THE prototype of a useless coin or "anti-bitcoin". According to his "fate loves irony" statement, he propagated DOGE because he was sure that it will pump some day. It became a self fulfilling prophecy, also because of his tweets. On the other hand, following twitter for at least a whole Bitcoin halvening cycle, you may be aware that some - probably many - other people also wrote tweets like "DOGE!", "DOGE TO THA MOON!", and so on, which didn't get any attention. Honestly, who DIDN'T think that DOGE will pump after Musk's related weets. I wonder if he took advantage or if he just did it for the lulz. This is the first time I have seen someone say another coin is the anti-bitcoin.  What makes it so unappealing to the bitcoin maximalists and not some other coin such as ethereum? Anyways the last tweet from elon really rallied the musketeers right before the big show tonight. Think this will be the movement to mass media, whether that be good or bad for bitcoin, that crypto was waiting for. I am not sure if I have succumb to the FUD but I think most who have suffered in the past year from what has been going on in the world (and still is!) needed a break of this kind even if it is just a joke! Sorry, by "anti-bitcoin" i wasn't meaning "bitcoin killer" (lol). Anti-bitcoin in terms of anti-active development, anti-scarcity and anti-useful (and more), so kind of the opposite of Bitcoin in the cryptoverse It's just a joke, but twitter peeps took it too serious. Good for Doge, anyway. But honey badger doesn't care |

“The largest diamond ever cut in Russia, a 100.94 carat stone called the Alrosa Spectacle, will be auctioned in Geneva on May 12. The diamond could fetch between 12 and 18 million Swiss francs ($19.96 million).”That will be 337.30 Bitcoin only... who’s up for it?  https://twitter.com/pdchina/status/1391106229578178563?s=21 How much for the NFT, dude? |

No more plastic drum machines ;-)
Yeah, all well and good, but now I gotta find a human to play em... because I sure as hell can't... find a songwriter too while you at it ... you sure as hell can't do that either What the fuck? Seriously. Just somebody on the internet confusing pop music with art? Seriously EDITHey, my avatar's eyes fit my merit count  |

Nice shiny new Gretsch 5 piece added to studio. Thank you bitcoin.  And i see you have a decent taste for good cymbal sounds as well To be honest, you can't go wrong with any Zildjian, ever. imho I'm thinking about a Roland or Yamaha e-Kit lately, time to teach the kids playing the drums BUT i hate the sound of those rubber muting pads, while i prefer real drumshells/heads, though... Or do i just have luxury problems? When it comes to instruments, i'd say: for sure!Nice shiny new Gretsch 5 piece added to studio. Thank you bitcoin.

Looks nice! I am not a drum kinduva guy. Does your studio have any sound treatment? Ethan Winer knows his stuff. Looks like Les Paul-ish things on your wall, I love them. http://realtraps.com/art_basics.htmTrapping in a room with windows is useless. Better even out the reverb times with Helmholtz resonator panels, gives a natural, not too dead room sound. Ultimately, you build a floating room in the dimensions you want the low frequency resonances/standing waves to be wiped out. You'd need some more Bitcoins for that, though In my later years, I find I love tiny Class A guitar amps. Forget that Marshal double-stack... If you get it on the cusp, you can go from clean to HEADBANGER with just a small change with your picking hand. I'm still learning.
Joe Walsh's solo on Rocky Mountain way was with a Fender Champ (5 Watts), cranked up to 11, and close-miced into the board.
I have a great hand-wired 18-watt Marshall clone. It makes me wish I was a better guitar player.
Mesa Boogie, all the way for me  But i'm an alternative rock guy, when it comes to guitars, mostly. |

is this canadian or australian, singaporan, or hong kong?
Around here, we use gallons, but then liters, not litres.
In TX, it is (in USD) $2.68/gal=$0.71/liter
I know that it is pretty cheap comparing with EU.
This is basically EU price level with 50% discount... |

You bragging eh?
We will only get 17° on Sunday, and 5° at night.
And it's still raining by the way.
Yeah, we have April weather in May, I was hoping global warming would make it go the other way.
Nope. We only got the downsides from GW, local thunderstorms, stronger winds and dryness. BUT science says we are after the end of a warming cycle of the sun and global warming will likely be slowing down at least over the next 5 years. Means more evenly distributed rain, but less windy? hmmm - not that much better anyway... BTC recovering, time for $58k - $60k again... #NFA |

Really? Snow in The Netherlands in May?  Looking at the weatherforcast it shows on Sunday that the temprature pumping to 24°C (75°F). Same here, a couple 100's km closer to the equator, rain in the valleys, snow on the mountains (above 1200m), followed by 25° on Sunday. I'm used to this in April, but May?  |

What a shitty time to sell. Cobra on Proudhon's track, New-gen twitter altcoiners build houses of cards, even whole blocks of houses of cards with their money. Outcome unknown. I should have sold in the last hour over $58k, forgot to set sell order(s) The "damage" is small, though. It's raining outside, too. meh |

I mean what the hell is 1INCH.
1INCH is having very bad karma in one's love life #nh Don't get too annoyed by the altcoin rally, the alt season is just topping, it will be over soon. It's not that bloomers would have put their money into BTC if the alts wouldn't exist. I think it's mainly Robinhood, eToro and the likes that got noobs to invest in alts instead of stonks. NFT's are also a sign of topping madness. Guess which coin will survive, in the end... I have a good feeling about an imminent brakeout. Hoping to be able to quote myself shortly.
Think i wrote something two days ago, that we should reach $58k about today. If we break $58k and stabilize, i also wouldn't rule out a pump to somewhere between $60 to $65k. #NFA EDIT: I see $58k already got broken for a short while today. |

What will happen to btc price once they (exchanges) run out? Someone calculated that projected time for that is 122 days or so (it could happen quicker in a case of large buys).
maybe this...check out etc on coinbase pro...$30-50 higher (30-40%) than others, lol.
if i was not busy right now, I would arb it to smithereens.
They probably have to buy expensive coins from miners. Or even coin auctions, let that sink in... |

You know how when random relatives contact you and ask about bitcoin that it's about time to start considering selling?
I got asked my a distant cousin "what do you think about dodge?".
Yup the FOMO indicator is the best indicator. Combined with a parabolic growth means GTFO! The "Day of the dead DOGE" seems to be near, yes. I also expect Bitcoin to be back at $58k within a few days, according to my TA lines and shit. We'll see. Gotta cash out a bit for floor tiles, doors and the electrician, soon. |
