Why was Tesla the perfect next company to adopt Bitcoin?
Purely Elon Musk. I'm no Musk fart-sniffer but he definitely seems to have the requisite flexibility in his thinking. It's no mistake that he made most of his money with Paypal. How does it pave the way for Apple and others?
It doesn't. Tim Cook is an unimaginative corporate drone riding the coattails of the imagination Jobs was able to wring from his subordinates. Bitcoin won't be safe enough for someone like him until 80% adoption. His job is to not drive Apple off a cliff. |

I suspect similar attempts by people running up and stealing someone's mask in a busy location will occur at some point as well.
Ah, the people who see people without a mask so pull their own down so they can more efficiently scream at the offender, causing murder clouds of spittle to engulf the local vicinity. |

Ahh good to know that with all that drama yet you stayed true to BTC. But a lot of people actually followed through and got burned hard after they exchanged their BTC for the ever diminishing alt bag. (Not to mention being on the same side with Faketoshi for some time) Regardless, something something about bygones being bygones
I've been around long enough to know when I could be wrong. The fork meant there was no need to sell anything as if BCH won, I would have done well enough from that on its own. There are quite a few mistakes I think BCH made, largely due to hubris but I think the biggest thing is that BTC would have had to do something fatal to lose its edge and so far, the segwit kludge and high fees have not been that. |

That's some weak-ass murder attempt. How many comorbidities does his boss have? |

The only way to make peace is to bring back ChartBuddy.

The biggest obstacle is that every time I fire up the node to sign a message to prove ownership, it's stuck forever in validating blocks and then by the time I come back, the computer has crashed  |

Have you gotten over your BIG blocker afflictions and your disgruntledment towards the real deal king daddy bitcoin that has segwit and relatively (speaking) eee widddy bitty blocks?
Nope. I still say that increasing on-chain transaction capacity is the way forward. It has proven that BCH and Amaury Sachet were not able to cut it (and let's not even bother with BSV). However, I continued to honor my position of never counting BTC out so other than a little spendy-spend to realize some profits, my holdings are mostly intact. All that's really been lost is that segwit is now a permanent canker on the protocol. I'm considering writing a Medium article about it. Probably if you apologize - for burning bridges, that might be a step in the right direction.. Maybe you can do what Adam was not willing to do and admit that your claims of censorship were overblown and in the end not correct? that might help.  you will thank me, later.  They were undeniably correct and I stand by what I said completely. I don't know what bridges I am supposed to have burned, I'm just a dweeb posting on an online forum. |

19 days left in February. Will we see 50k?

Not really a better place to talk about BTC ATHs.

If wealth taxes start being egregious, it might be time to consider an exit. Lots of countries where your money will go a long way.

Why would you care anymore? That's the whole point of bitcoin.
Indeed. That's a large part of why I got into it. |

It is until it isn't. MySpace, AltaVista, so on...

I've never used telegram but there's something to be said for a forum format like this one. It's definitely getting a bit tired now though (but it has been for half a decade).

I agree. A mobile-friendly version would have been nice as well.
If Theymos doesn't watch out, some other site will swoop in and drink his milkshake. |

Just wait till Biden gets done. There will be no wheels on that cart. Then after Kamala, no chrome. |

Why is this site lagging so bad? Doesn't seem any busier than it used to be. Time for a hardware upgrade (and perhaps new forum software hint-hint)?

Forgot I had some dust on Coinbase. Sorry for triggering this.  Someone's going to have to go to the vault and get out the cold storage wallet at Coinbase. |

Elon's key.  One of the hardware wallet makers should do some cross-licensing. |

So, to alleviate which pains your more, or pains you less, the thought of missing out or the though you could get more, then the logical thing to do is hedge half: buy with half of what you have, and then buy DCA with the other half. That way, you only feel half the pain. And if the price is stable the whole time you were DCA'ing, then there is no pain at all either way.
Plus if it drops like a mofo, you have money to buy the dip. If you believe the Bitcoin will always recover sooner or later (which it always has eventually but don't expect me to underwrite that for you), it's a no-brainer. |

nd it...lol  Puts it into perspective. Maybe I should cancel the used VW I'm waiting for. I think the insurance would be prohibitive though. |

Just a sobering reminder, lest we get too over-exuberant... (I was actually hoping to get one of the Wile-e-coyote ones but they have sadly all expired). |
