LOL! It's a woman... Sorry ladies, I just couldn't help it. FWIW, in the UK, a second-hand car is more valuable when the owner/seller is a woman. In the ads they advertise it as "lady owner", meaning that the car has been treated well because a woman is not supposed to abuse the car as much as a man would. In many other countries though, it's the exact opposite, i.e., a woman driver/owner is an indication that the car may have been misused, roughed up and worn out due to poor handling. When I was in the UK, I bought a lady-owned second-hand car, which was in showroom condition. So, at least in the UK, lady owners seem to take care of their cars. |

It's interesting that most of the political figures mentioned in the above Twitter thread are republicans. It reminded me of a documentary I once watched, where it was mentioned that a US cable TV survey revealed that the overwhelming majority of hardcore adult channel subscriptions came from neighborhoods occupied by predominantly republican, church-going families. An interesting correlation... correlation to what? Stupidity? Free porn is plentiful on the internet - why would anyone pay for a cable subscription? I think the documentary was very old, long before ADSL/VDSL connections... At that time you could only rent tapes or watch via cable TV. |

Wiki asking for donation...
Tell them "Donate your mother if you want donate!" Edit: This was meant for the lulz! Actually I do like Wikipedia, IIRC I've even donated some money to them (a long time ago). Not sure if they have a hidden agenda and all that conspiracy theory stuff, but I do enjoy their articles. In science/technology subjects (which I'm mostly interested in) they are OK. |

Ledger App Isolation Bypass 04 August 2020 https://monokh.com/posts/ledger-app-isolation-bypassThis post will disclose a vulnerability in the Ledger hardware wallets that can lead to theft of user funds.
An attacker can exploit this method to transfer Bitcoin while the user is under the impression that a transaction of another, less valuable altcoin (e.g. Litecoin, Testnet Bitcoins, Bcash, etc.) is being executed
If you use bitcoin forks on your device, you could be affected. You should avoid using these ledger apps until fixes are available.
The issue has been disclosed to Ledger but remains unaddressed. See Disclosure Timeline.
I've always preferred my Trezor more than my Ledger; this just reinforces that belief To upgrade the firmware on the Ledger you have to delete the "Bitcoin app" first. Very scary process. I don't like clicking a button that says "Do you want to delete your bitcoins? Are you really really sure??" Somehow it remembers the pass phase so you don't have to reenter it, but still..... They are wasting everyone's time putting shitcoin support on this thing, and (as now demonstrated) increasing the attack surface. Very stupid IMHO. FWIW, deleting the "Bitcoin app" should not scare you at all. If it does, then you either haven't understood how a wallet works, or you haven't followed the appropriate steps to secure it. A seed can't be deleted. As long as you have your seed securely backed up (ideally in multiple places, physically separate from each other), then you have no reason to be scared. Trezors/Ledgers are just fancy containers. Reality check: if you feel worried and scared at the thought of your Trezor/Ledger being lost, stolen, destroyed, you're doing it wrong. |

If we're going to spend an entire August in 11xxx range... well, that's fine with me.
It's a good range!
Yes, it is. But we are greedy. We want MOAR! |

Pokémon doll still 3D printing... 13h 42m left.
Number go up.
Volume go up.
$12k (10k €) / BTC before doll ready?
How the fuck do you print a Pokémon doll? That's uncle-ly love, for reals. Yes, you can! The doll has finished printing and is super cute. Took 36 hours to print, and is personalized for my niece. It was very difficult to print, due to many overhang areas requiring heavy use of PVA material for supports (3D printing experts will understand). Love my little niece, that's true. 3D printing a Pokémon doll as a special present to my niece. Uncle duties...
Looks like the beast has awoken again!

That's a bit of a stark contrast, AlcoHoDL, all contained within one post.  Wow, right before my previous post! Are we telepathically connected? Believe me, I thought about the contrast issue. Haiku/Uncle duties conflicting... LOL. Her daddy is a coiner. Thanks to me. Although he holds much more alts than BTC. I've warned him, but he has fallen into the "BTC too expensive" trap. I hope the incoming bull run will find him HoDLing some good amount of corn. You may not have received the truly - or would the correct word be "literally?" "internal" memo: You, me and JSRAW are likely just the same peeps. Pray for your brother (or is it brother in law?) that he someday (before it is too late) see the light. But to each their own and at their own pace. Many folks want to outsmart the situation, and perhaps he will find a profitable way without losing too much along the way, perhaps. Not everyone was made to be a bitcoiner at this particular time in the bitcon's life. I will tell him again this weekend when we'll have our weekly BBQ. He insists "he now understands how this game works" and aims at certain altcoins to maximize profits, with the ultimate goal of using said profits to buy BTC. Let's hope he's right lucky enough to end up in profits in the first place... He may get lucky though, as the upcoming BTC mega-pump will likely drag most major altcoins with it, at least in the short term. In the 2017 pump, his $4,000 investment (in alts) increased to $50,000. But he never sold anything, and he's now below his initial investment. Let's hope he is wiser this time. For his sake. |

 At the risk of uttering a tautology, exactly as much bitcoin is bought as the amount that is sold. Touche! When I say "seller" or "buyer", I mean the trader who executes (completes) the trade. It's a critically stable system. It's a maker/taker balance, and sensitive to initial conditions. An inverted pendulum kind of thing. It's beautiful. |

Rise and shine.
Bitcoin is pumping again, and I feel great!
Weather is super. Going out in nature, walk a bit, jog a bit, breath some fresh air and enjoy the feeling of having earned good money while sleeping.
Life's good, enjoy it, guys 'n' gal!

Pointless post... My day went great. A big purchase I was responsible for at work went perfect. All happy. So I'm chilling, now listening to Khalid, Disclosure - Know Your Worth and lovin' it! And Bitcoin is pumping, what more could one ask for?  |

If you thought holding was hard over the past few years, just wait until the #Bitcoin price is ascending relentlessly, instigating you to sell down your stack. *Develop a strategy now and do not deviate* Strong-handedness is more critical in bull markets than bear markets. https://twitter.com/breedlove22/status/1288682370090950657?s=213 day RSI above 85 -> sell a bit. Buy back lower. Repeat. Easy. I see your point, but the stress and trouble of being glued to the computer screen for hours on end, waiting to catch the right moment to buy/sell is just too much for me. Not to mention that, in some cases, you may not be able to "buy back lower" and end up mindrusting it all... I'd rather HoDL. See, HoDLing is stress-free -- it earns you money while you sleep (nice quote, Mr. Buffett). Sure, short-term profits are modest, if any, but long-term gains are not too bad (only about 500% for me). I can live with that.  |

At the risk of starting a heated debate...
Digital is the clear winner, there's no question about it. Digital is a wild force that conquers everything in its path. Computing, audio, photography, video, communications, now cash... You name it.
Analog still has its place in areas where digital has not yet entered. The universe and its quantities are fundamentally analog, so there will always be a bridge between analog and digital (microphones and speakers will stay analog for a very long time).
Analog has sentimental value (that "good old times" kind of feeling).
Analog is romantic (for the ladies -- sorry to our female WOs, but it's true, speaking from experience).
But digital is The King. Those who disagree are entering Flat Earth territory.

Re. BCH / BSV:
Endless repetitions of already discussed topics don't really help.
Before the airplane, scientists of the time used to say "if it's heavier than air it won't fly" -- but it did, and went to the moon.
So....?? You’re saying birds are lighter than air? 🤪 Not me... I guess they excluded living creatures... Maybe they thought God makes them fly...  |

Now we have BCH / BSV supporters saying "if it can't do more transactions / second it can't fly" -- but it just might! And go to the moon too!
Words are easy, especially combined with an inflated ego, arrogance, a closed mind, and a tendency to generalize over-simplified concepts. Let's discuss this in 3-5 years from now, and I hope both sides have the wisdom and humility to accept defeat and congratulate the winning side.
My bet is on BTC. And if it turns out that BTC does not survive, I bet its successor will NOT be BCH, and it will NOT be BSV. BCH / BSV are already dead. Their creators made sure of that.
