Thanks for the links. And the website. Never expected to see this, so directly. It's such a fucked up world we live in... |

I have always dreamed of being in a gang. For too long my chicken legs, concave chest, fevered panting and micropenis have been the subject of persecution. Now the boot is on the other foot and it's time to round on someone else.
Kill, lash out, stomp, maim, disfigure.
GET HIM.
I'll be hiding round the corner if you need me.
Well...you could always sign up to work for these guys, I hear they pay well and are swamped with work right now: https://www.demandprotest.comWow, just WOW! |

[...] we are well out of the long bear market now. The effects of the halving won’t be seen for months yet. The next big bull run is going to melt our faces off, definitely $100,000+ by 2022.
Are you ready?
Are your bags full?
The train won’t wait for long!
Wondering how many new people learning about Bitcoin feel the train has already left the station, even at current >$9K prices. Broker IBKR for example recently dropped the requirement of a minimum first deposit of $10K because they were losing too much retail business. Joe Average does not have a lump sum of $10k to invest, let alone in something still considered very speculative as Bitcoin. Not being able to buy an entire bitcoin at once could discourage many from putting in any fiat at all. Think that after the next price cycle Bitcoin won’t be denominated in bitcoins anymore, as gold is generally not in kilos. It shouldn't discourage them, but it does. We tend to see Bitcoin as a train leaving, or a rocket launching to the moon, and we need to rush to get in. It's all nice and good, with CCMF memes and Carolinas when it pumps, and the dreaded Vegetas when we revisit the price that shell not be seen again. I see Bitcoin as a train, but a train that's infinitely long. One can get in any time he/she wants. There's always a wagon passing by you. Some of us have managed to take the front wagons, and will reach our destination much earlier. Other will join later, but they will still get there. Just later. I have a few friends and relatives who have followed my advice and got into the crypto space, buying some fraction of BTC. Most of them sold it soon after, and bought some altcoin(s) which are "much cheaper than BTC". That's the mistake newbies make, thinking they have to have one whole BTC. When we talk about BTC price in terms of satoshis, those people would wish they had kept the 0.1 BTC (= 10,000,000 sat) they once had... |

Only just noticed your Merit Source application via a post by JSRAW in the WO thread (too busy with RL stuff lately). Merited and fully supported, of course. Hope it'll soon be approved.
No need to merit me, save it for some other post that's really worth something.

I read this name mindrust a lot, can someone remind me who that was ??
JJG perhaps??
There once was a coiner, whose name was mindrust, He posted in WO, and gained our trust. But little did he know, He would suffer a blow, When he did the unthinkable, and sold all his stash! Even r0ach would agree that this move was quite baffling, It's Bitcoin 101, you just don't sell pre-Halving. But his mind was all rusted, It was Masterluc he trusted, So he blindly followed his all-bearish rumbling! He blames COVID-19 for his panic reaction, "Armageddon is coming, I just had to take action." Now his Bitcoins are sold, He is turning to gold, In a desperate attempt to get some satisfaction. Many WO'ers advised him to buy back some corn, But he just couldn't live with the thought of being wrong. Now he hears of Bitcoin, And gets a pain in his groin, Because deep down he knows, that his chance is now gone! I know that those limericks are shitty as hell, And I know that Jimbo's shit, as everyone's, smell. I just hope that they serve, To help us all keep our nerve, And never ever give in to the pressure to sell! And if all of the above hasn't made you, mindrust, Reconsider, and quickly get some corn in your stash, It won't be r0aches or ants, At the seat of your pants, But the boot of a HoDLer kicking your stubborn fat ass! |

About French cuisine, I haven't tried much, I have the (probably wrong) impression that the portions are really small and it's all about style, looks, and accompanying wine, than it is about the actual food. Reading your comment, I will certainly give it a thorough test (taste?) drive the next time we go out dining.
When I was talking about French cuisine, I was talking about Classic French Cuisine, not that disgusting aberration called Nouvelle Cuisine. ___ Your impression is bang on for Nouvelle Cuisine. It's basically a scam perpetrated by restaurants to rip off their patrons. They start with the cheapest ingredients, calling them locally-grown and seasonal, reduce or completely omit more expensive ingredients like butter, cream, foie gras, veal, etc., and then reduce preparation time to save labor costs and kitchen overhead. They don't take any care in presentation, Instead of carefully arranging foods according to shape and color, everything is piled up in a heap in the middle of the plate, leaving large areas of empty plate exposed. They may try to make up for it by quickly slapping on an inexpensive decoration or two, like a kiwi slice or a couple of un-chopped (more laziness) chives. Portions are indeed ridiculously small. Even if they were properly arranged aesthetically, they might not fill the plate. Gotta make sure you have lots of room for overpriced desserts and those aforementioned overpriced wines. It's all about maximizing profit. ___ The Classic French Cuisine I'm talking about is the cuisine of Marie-Antoine Careme and Auguste Escoffier, a time-honored tradition developed over the centuries with the emphasis on creating the finest dishes, despite higher ingredient and preparation costs. It was the food of royalty and wealthy industrialists. Quality was the number one consideration. Rich stocks were simmered from roasted veal knuckle bones with carefully selected vegetables and carefully matched herbs. Roux was cooked carefully to just the right color for the best flavor. Marinades were blended with care. Meticulous hand preparation was used to bone, stuff, glaze, and trim meats for presentation. Foods were carefully laid out with careful consideration given not only to appearance but also to aroma and temperature. Sauces were not hidden underneath the meats to try to make the small portions look bigger, but served on top of them to preserve warmth and also to distill the essential oils of the garnishes directly to the diners' noses. Garnishes were used primarily as aroma enhancers, not decorations. The foods themselves were used as decoration. Portions were large enough that dinners often took hours to eat. Needless to say this was not conducive to maximizing restaurant profits. They needed fast food, whip it up fast, get 'em in and out the door fast. Thus Nouvelle Cuisine was born. ___ 5 of the 9 great cuisines I listed had their roots in Classic French Cuisine. Nouvelle Cuisine made its debut on the maiden flight of the Concorde. How fitting. Small portions, fast preparation, short meal time. Basically it's airline food. ___ Think about the difference between traditional English and French cooking: The English boil all the flavor and nutrition out of food, throw away the flavorful, nutritious water and serve the washed out food. The French boil all the flavor and nutrition out of the food, throw away the washed out food, and add the flavorful, nutritious water to more fresh flavorful, nutritious food and serve it. Which will be more flavorful and nutritious? Wow, Jimbo, thanks so much for the information. You certainly know your stuff when it comes to culinary matters! Now I absolutely have to try a Classic French dish... |

^^^ I like your optimism! We're all on that train, but I'd like to think that we may need a more powerful vehicle to reach our destination. Like this, perhaps: [Wernher Von Braun pictured next to the F-1 engines of the Saturn V rocket.]  |

I consider Italian cuisine as the best tasting food in the world.
Second best (for me) is Middle Eastern cuisine.
On the other side of the scale, the absolute worst has got to be English cuisine. Italian food is OK and certainly much better than English, German or most American, but I wouldn't rank it near the top. IMHO, it can't hold a candle to French (the best food in the world), Hungarian, Thai, Mexican, Greek, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, or even some regional North American cuisines like Cajun or Quebecois. To each their own, I suppose. Seeing your list of cuisines, I've got to agree on Greek, Middle Eastern and Mexican being top choices. It also depends on your mood (hot 'n' spicy vs. more mild tastes). I only tried the goulash dish when I spent a day in Prague a couple of years ago, which was delicious. I also like some (just a few) of the Chinese dishes. About French cuisine, I haven't tried much, I have the (probably wrong) impression that the portions are really small and it's all about style, looks, and accompanying wine, than it is about the actual food. Reading your comment, I will certainly give it a thorough test (taste?) drive the next time we go out dining. To each their own, that's true, especially when it comes to food... |

A while back I had Cannelloni for the first time in my life, I saw it in the ready foods section and thought I would try it out.
Big disappointment, it tasted exactly like lasagna, I could just as well have bought that.
I think I have figured Italian food out, they only have one dish but they serve it a little bit differently and give it a new name.
Ground meat with tomato sauce between pasta sheets and some cheese sprinkled on top = lasagna
Ground meat with tomato sauce between rolled up pasta sheets and some cheese sprinkled on top = cannelloni
Ground meat with tomato sauce in a heap of shredded pasta sheets with some cheese sprinkled on top = spaghetti
Ground meat with tomato sauce on a flat piece of almost pasta and some cheese sprinkled on top = Pizza
and so on.
I'm not trying any more versions of Italian food ever again.
Don't do that, Arrie, or you'll be missing out on some of the best tasting dishes you can eat... I consider Italian cuisine as the best tasting food in the world. Second best (for me) is Middle Eastern cuisine. On the other side of the scale, the absolute worst has got to be English cuisine. I remember, when I was in the UK for studies, how I was horrified to be served grilled pork steak covered in some sweet jam, I think it was pineapple jam or something like that. The mixing of super sweet foods with normally salty stuff, like meat, is utterly disgusting to me. I had to endure it for 11 years... |

Now CSW will sue the blockchain
I just hope it's one step closer now to him being fucked in the ass by the courts; he's been a stain for far too long. Were any of these coins that he was claiming were his? I checked the first 5 addresses: all in Craig's list submitted to court! I expanded on the matter here. Perfect, just perfect! Thanks nutildah! |

1. I consider all those little fuckers and all the other altcoiners to be scammers. The altcoin experiment failed, and bitcoin can absorb any of their 'features' if necessary. They now exist purely to take people's bitcoin away by subterfuge. It's a finite resource; once it's gone it's very hard to get any more back. 2. I find these repetitive, variation on a theme memes to be like pornography. I need new and different all the time, otherwise I can't raise a smile. i especially like ver in that cardboard tank. lol  |

A personal slave girl letting me do the things I want to do to her is still very expensive, much more expensive than 1 BTC (currently)... And I believe I've got the BTC side of things covered... I'm taking the girl.

PSA - Hang around here long enough, and you see the patterns...  ...and they're all over Twitter and YouTube as well. Their ultimate goal is to win you over with their personality or tech knowledge, then eventually get you to follow them down the dark path of selling all your BTC near the bottom (with some crazy bearish BTC prediction), or dumping all your BTC for some fly-by-night shitcoin scam that they suddenly start promoting out of no where. They likely get kickbacks from someone to do this. Don't fall for it. Be very skeptical of these "crypto experts". Those who can fall for this trap do not belong to this thread. |

Is this all the bears & manipulators have got?
We’ll be at $15,000+ by the end of the year.
Take my last one... Exactly. Not feeling the slightest bit of fear or anxiety. Bring it on, bears. And see you next year. |

however as much as i believe bitcoin is the future of money/wealth/store of value/whatever you want to call it i do live in the present. and i do realize that my "plan," while it has worked in the past, may need drastic revision at any point.
never stop learning.
Fair enough. If all of a sudden, some very large and unanticipated expense rolled into your door.. you might have to say fuck. And, you might have liquidate a decently large portion of your bitcoin's even though it was either last or towards the end of you liquidation list. Nice for us to have those kinds of options, even though they do not necessarily resolve all issues that might end up coming in our direction.. including some major issues that could undermine our bitcoin stash, too.. I am in a similar situation to the one you describe and probably the solution is to sell BTC, this is the true magic of Bitcoin, the alarm light of the Fiat reserves has gone on, according to my plan, I cannot face the unforeseen and continue decapitalizing me, BTC will save my ass like other times. No need to comment on the reason for this decision, we have enough shit in this 2020 As soon as I can recover financially, I will start buying again Nothing changes, the same VB1, Bull, StrongHat, but practically with 0 BTC Man, sorry to hear that VB... Well, at least it was need, and not fear, that made you sell. After all, there are much more important things in life than even Bitcoin... In the end, it's just a tool, a means to realise our wants and needs. And if there's a great need for something very important, you use your fiat/BTC/whatever you have... Just keep accumulating. I strongly believe that in a few years' time, having even one (1) BTC will be enough to set you up for life. |

Holding bitcoin is always pretty stressful.
[...]
Not really. Not for me anyway. In fact, I've never slept better in my entire life since I became a HoDLer. For a stress-free Bitcoin experience, you need 3 things: 1. Some capital to start you off, which you consider "already lost" the moment you exchange it for BTC. 2. Patience. 3. Believing in the idea/algorithm. It's like a religion really, except that it is backed by science, and paradise is guaranteed to come in this lifetime. |

Stick it up his ass...  Not so quick. It ain't over yet. Yeah, the more times you roll the dice, the more chances your "prediction" ends up being correct. We saw how Masterluc's "predictions" worked out in Mindrust's case, as a fellow WO recently commented. Fcuk him. |
