I bet it magically breaks ATH the day before the Coinbase listing. On Coinbase at least.

Here's my post warning people about "Don't invest more than you can afford to lose" when the price was $325.

Bitcoin as stable as it has been for the past month is not very indicative of the top of a bubble.

We're building a floor.

I was thinking the same thing. Even if we disagreed I hope he's ok.

I watched it not realising that I'd seen the first one and that this was an expansion of it. Other than Superman coming back I didn't remember the last one. Then I had to go down the rabbit hole to figure out what that other movie was that I'd seen where they brought Superman back. But it kept telling me Justice League...which I'd just seen but I could swear it was years ago.

I remember reading a conspiracy about how things we remember from the past are no longer part of this timeline. I tried to look up that conspiracy but I can no longer find it. Did I remember something that was scrubbed? One of them was that nowhere in Forrest Gump does he say "life is like a box of chocolates". But we all remember that.

Edit: The Mandela effect

Bulls wins.

Welcome to the club.

The only advice I can give is...every project I have invested in since I retired would have done so much better if I'd just kept it in bitcoin.

lol, I just got banned from r/communism for posting:

I love you guys!

This is the best subreddit ever.

I am selling all of my fNFTs on the ETH blockchain as wrapped fNFTs (wfNFT) which I have then put on Binance as Binance wrapped ETH fNFTs (BwfNFT).

Minimum bid: 1 BwfBSV

I used to get about $20 when selling blood in college for food.


Well, plasma...actually about $25 the first time, then it goes down because they can't get as much plasma from you on following days...

I'm pretty sure the star registry ensures that if humans ever travel to that solar system that my family has full ownership of any light coming from that sun and everyone will need to pay us for access.

Along the lines of the NFTs, my dad registered a star for the family about 20 years ago. Guess how many billions of dollars that's worth now.

NFTs are pretty much the same thing. There are several private star registries. Sure, you can't own your favorite star in one registry so you can just go to the next registry and register it. Or you can create your own registry and own all of them. Same thing with NFTs. Someone can buy Elon Musk's first tweet on X blockchain and nobody on that blockchain can own that tweet. But they can go onto Y blockchain and buy that tweet. It's all a matter of consensus and wether or not people will all deem one blockchain as the place where the true NFTs reside. Otherwise will be many different ones and it will all become useless.

Most things in society are about consensus. That article a few pages back about yuppy elite business majors not understanding Bitcoin doesn't make sense to me. My thought about accountants and business majors all downplaying Bitcoin is the fact that they don't understand consensus. They are trying to dictate consensus. Even if they all think it's just Beanie Babies and there's no real value to it, would not the smart accountant see the Beanie Baby craze early on and understand that humans being what they are will start buying these things at a fast pace and try to profit from the window of opportunity that exists? My accountant poo pooed my support of Bitcoin back in 2010 as "a virtual currency backed by nothing? no thank you".

I learned during the dotcom boom about the difference between something that is superior vs something that people want. I was doing modeling and simulations of communications protocols. I was to compare these two protocols to determine which was the better routing protocol. I spent weeks constructing the models and simulating different scenarios and running the protocols through their paces. I determined that one was far superior. That was my first foray into investing, I put about $1000 into the company that had come up with the superior protocol figuring that once people realise how far superior it is in distributing data that the company would take off and I'd make a bit of money.

The reality is that the inferior protocol was adopted for whatever reason and I watched as my $1000 investment crashed to a few dollars that I pulled out about 2 years later.

So these accountants think that they know everything about money and believe that the dollar is far superior to Bitcoin so they believe that there is no way that the dollar would lose to Bitcoin. But the smart accountants should realise that it is the consensus of people and the choice of what people will use as their currency that matters. If they were truly intelligent they would take into account the large distrust people have of the government that is growing by the day, they'd see how the dollar is becoming shit, even if their religion tells them it is for the greater good, they'd see that this is a technology that people are very interested in and are starting to trust more than their government currency. If an accountant cannot see these externalities and just compares dollar to bitcoin, then they aren't that smart are they?

As far as NFTs, ICOs, etc. while the underlying premise may be wrong or flawed, if there is consensus behind something then it will certainly gain in value. I remember telling my brother to stay away from Ethereum when it was under $2. I still don't recommend ETH but I would have never guessed that it would have come this far back then.

For any shitcoin with a centralized team that makes bank in an ICO to create the protocol, if you truly support it and love the idea, just copy it and release it anonymously without the upfront costs.

Though, I do support LBRY and use them as an alternative to Youtube. They jumped through all of the hoops in the US and still got hit. It's like here in Panama where the government and police will try to get bribes from you. But all that means is that you're willing to give bribes so they'll just keep coming back.

If I was them I'd dissolve the original company and open a new company to move on with everything.

Not that I would do anything like that with...say...a cruise ship company...

On an unrelated note, for every new venture that you pursue, create a new company for it, and try to separate assets in different companies (in different nations) as much as possible.

Also along those lines, some wise advice I was given: Don't live in the nation of your citizenship, and don't keep your money in the nation where you live or your nation of citizenship.

Ya, I won't need to do any interviews until the book comes out. Still working on it.

We get requests for interviews all the time and the ones that aren't MSM I turn over to the CEO of Ocean Builders so he can talk about the cool tech of the SeaPods and not need to bring up politics. We're just building houseboats, no need to bring up politics.

One interesting tidbit, while I was on the run giving interviews, one of the reporters questions wanted me to comment on Trump. Their obsession over Trump was so intense that they wanted to somehow figure out a way to bash Trump in a story about some dude fleeing the Thai navy. I just responded focusing on the fact that Trump was a real estate investor and how our floating home project would have been great for the Thai economy. They definitely didn't use that answer in their article.

A reporter from The Economist wanted to interview me about the Thailand thing. This headline re-assures me that I made the right decision to turn them down.

At this point any reporter in the MSM wanting to cover the story is looking to attack us. No reporter's going to write a feel good story about how we got away and started over somewhere else.

What if it looks like she's waving one leg back and forth in front of her?

No need to think that way.


Many people don't think "I had fiat in my bank account" and regret that decision.

Or, "I bought a car 5 years ago instead of bitcoin", or "I put money into my 401k instead of buying bitcoin".

Make Bitcoin your primary currency and you won't regret spending it. It's all you have to spend.

Well, it looks like the blockchain is now being used for evil.


New York launches nation's first 'vaccine passports.'

As I began reading the article I was trying to figure out how to get my name into this system, then I saw the blockchain part. I'm sure each hospital will need to sign a message with their private keys to get the data onto the blockchain.

Oh well, I'll just have to go the Panama way on getting a freedom pass.

I bought this for 12 bitcoins back in 2015.



Then again, every paycheck was converted to bitcoins so I was 99.99% bitcoin. It's all I had to spend.

Some people kept fiat currency in their bank accounts instead of converting it to bitcoin.

Classy, certainly worth 10 BTC.

The french adds a certain....je ne sais quoi.
