Hey, Torque, I agree with a lot of the things that you say, and your various macro-level observations
Thanks but even you should realize that you have both a tendency to go overboard with your conspiracy angle and your seemingly want to concede way more powers to status quo institutions than those fucktwats deserve and even taking matters way more personally than they should be taken.
No not really no What you say, good ole buddy, can't we just get along?
Sure You mean dumber than your massive wall-of-text word vomit ideas? Doubt it.  |

Huh?
These kinds of market behaviors happen all the time, and you especially should be expecting attempts to keep the BTC price within a range in bitcoin as compared with other markets because bitcoin is still pretty damned immature, as a market, and there is a lot of ability to get away with attempting to control the price, but in the end, who the fuck is going to win? The manipulators?
They can only manipulate so long.
No shit Captain Obvious, I know it won't go on forever. So does everyone else here.  And thanks for finally admitting that Bitcoin market manipulation is a real thing. I remember when you spent the first few years on this thread denying its very existence, and lambasting anyone who said otherwise. |

Is this some kind of algorithmic trading?
Bizarro.
...at least coinbase didn't glitch, apparently
Comical manipulation  |

So just about everyone now can see where things are going, and are simply raging about it.
But do you have the ability to capitalize on it? To increase your wealth and well-being into the future, where the future outlook will be grim for most?

That actually is the dumbest thing I have seen at least this year. Jesus take the damn wheel... And we wonder why when archeologists found the Mayan temples, they also found almost no trace of their historical records. |

WTF, Tesla stock. W.T.F.
Terrifying for the poor pleb investors.
I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those big shots...in Godfather's scratchy voice and caressing my 2 day stubble. That said, at least it is not officially bankrupt yet. A company that has operated in the red for its whole existence *is* bankrupt. Tesla is not a company though, it's an R&D division funded by taxpayers. Therefore it will never go "bankrupt". |

"But I paid into that my whole life!"
Ya, you also took more than you paid in your whole life as well. Time to pay back.
Exactly. That's the really infuriating part. Young boomer money was not locked in a box and left to get dusty, it was spent on all the social programs they have used their entire life. Especially and most expensively, care for the elderly when they get old. The welfare state is a huge scam. Time to end it.I even tell this to my parents. They don't like hearing it, but they also can not argue against it. This is a simple numbers game, you old decrepit farts. But...bbut...does not matter what party you vote for in the U.S., none of them are going to end welfare, SS, or funding pensions. They'll just keep printing moar fiat to pay into it. The Republicans won't end it. The Democrats for shit won't end it. The only party that has a snowball's chance in hell to end it, the Libertarian party, no one will vote into office. |

Jimbo is a boomer. He complains about being lumped in with those "other" boomers of a slightly different age, yet says not a word about the taxes they have imposed on all of us. Boomers are inherently narcissistic. Look elsewhere for answers.
Lawl. Which taxes exactly did boomers "impose on all of us"? The most evil of taxes, income tax, is centuries old in Britain. Even in the USA, the 16th Amendment is over a century old. The free government spending of the New Deal started long before the boomers were born. Boomers are victims just like everyone else since. As for boomers being narcissistic, look who's talking. Boomers aren't the ones referred to as "snowflakes". Boomers were about change: civil rights, the sexual revolution, the peace movement, the counterculture, rebelling against the military industrial complex, etc. Look elsewhere for scapegoats. Not to mention, the vast majority of Boomers I have met in my lifetime said that they voted against the raising of taxes (through parties or reps) at every step in their lives. But with such a corrupt political system, they were going to go up regardless. |

Pay off most things like mortgage and be a free man... let the rest mature further
Nothing free about having to pay taxes. New poll suggestion. Do you say yes or no to the taxman? Is it better to be a slave or a prisoner? I keep my capital gains under the level required to have a tax rate of 0%. It used to be $35k which was fine living in Thailand. Now I am married so that is now just over $70k. Plenty of income for me per year. It's fairly cheap living here in Panama. Speaking of, we are considering eventually moving to somewhere in the US. Does anyone know of which state has the lowest/almost zero property taxes? Hawaii, but then you have to deal with the volcano situation. I'd look at southern states like Alabama, Louisiana, or Tennessee. Maybe Utah as well, they are fairly pro-Libertarian. |

The U.S. stock market so divorced from underlying fundamentals it's not even funny anymore.  I guess the difference between the two lines is "inflation"? Looks scary. "Asset price inflation". Aka "Minsky Melt-up". "This surge in asset prices will benefit a small minority of wealthy Americans and actively harm the vast majority via costs of living surging versus significant unemployment, flat wages, and eventually goods and services inflation." |

That's some strong ass hopium. I'll throw this out there too, from AnonyMint:  Don't you just love all these guys that rage quit BTC for some shitcoin fork(ABC, BCH, BSV), but still deeply care about Bitcoin's future price development? |

I have a gut feeling that we might visit 9100 soon.  That's entirely possible, the whole market just feels lifeless. No real volume of players in this market rn, in fact haven't been since last year. They sold in May and went away. I don't forsee any action until later in the year. |

 Government over-reach again. Or perhaps under-reach, depends how they go about it. Can't wait to see how this is going to go over in Japan or France, lol   |

OT - Police story time:"There's a case from Georgia from a few years ago - and down in the same area where Arbaury (sp) was "hunted like an animal" - of a white man killed in a mistaken no-knock raid, just like Breonna Taylor in Louisville. Cops kicked in his door in the middle of the night and the man had the nerve to dare to defend his home, got shot multiple times. And nobody in the media here or nationally gave a damn about it. The man's name was David Hooks in Dublin, GA, if you want to look it up. A meth addict had stolen a car from Hook's home and got caught in it by police in possession of drugs. The addict claimed the drugs were in the car when he stole it, and that was the reasoning the police took to raid Hooks' home. After they raided the house and killed him, they found exactly ZERO drugs anywhere on the property."And this event never made it to the front page of *any* MSM website at the time. Why?

It's not like they need to stage a cop killing a black guy for any sort of false flag. That stuff happens so often you may as well stage a false flag of a liquor store getting robbed.
The key is to prepare the hype. Just like Corona virus...take something that is common, hype it up to make it seem like something huge, make sure people are scared...more government.
Yep, just like you said, police situations like this one happen nearly every week somewhere in America, or somewhere in the world. The difference is that the MSM has the power to *choose* whether or not to keep media coverage of those events repressed/invisible, or bubble them up to the surface (front page) at just the right moment. They also have the power to then hype it into the stratosphere. Would the MSM highlighting this police situation have worked as well if done last year, or the year before that, or the year before that? Would it have made the same impact on the public? Nope. Because everyone had a job then, unemployment was at an all time low, people were being told the world economies were recovering, and the stock market was flying to new ATHs. The powers that be know not to piss on that parade while positive sentiment is ripping higher and higher. Best to wait until after the crash to fan the flames of racism, social injustice and inequality, which are always there under the surface, waiting to come roaring out again. The people are constantly being played like a fiddle, and it seems to work every single time. We've seen FUD work to crash the Bitcoin market, and to increase the ongoing bear market. Why then people can't see the same forces at work in the larger world, I can't understand. To paraphrase Satoshi, "If people can't see it for themselves, I don't have time to explain it to them". |
