This dip is too small to be recognized as a 'crash'. At the local bottom of 55850$ it is only 18.8% below the last ATH. The bulls are still aiming at 100K and they are stealing with a huge discount from the weak hands (again  ). Happy Black Friday to all that have fiat to buy the dip! There is no question that 100K can be reached in a few weeks when the whales decide to do it. Although the path looks longer starting with 56K compared to 69K, all those hundreds of thousands bitcoins sold now, won't block the way to 100K. I wasn't optimistic about PlanB predicitons, but now with this volume and oversold RSI's, the chance of getting 100K before 2022 has increased significantly. For bitcoin, upside momentum continues to slow on the daily price chart, suggesting continued profit-taking among buyers. And the relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is not yet oversold, which provides scope for further downside in BTC over the short-term. The 100-day moving average, currently around $53,000, could attract buyers similar to late September, which preceded a price recovery. For now, intraday charts appear deeply oversold. This means buyers could defend immediate support around $56,000, albeit briefly given strong overhead resistance on the charts. CD Please be careful posting full identical sentences from i.e. Coindesk as if they were your own statements, it's called plagiarism and highly frowned upon around here: For bitcoin, upside momentum continues to slow on the daily price chart, suggesting continued profit-taking among buyers.

Thanks for that glimpse into our short-term future (speaking as citizen of your similar-sized, cheesy neighbour country), I guess things will go down a very similar path in the next days and weeks here (I guess we're between 10-15 days lagging behind). Though we have a public vote about a bunch of anti-Corona measures on 18th 28th and the government won't act until 19th 29th to not endanger that vote. I found the herd-immunity by vaccinated percentage thing very amazing and actually very clever in an evil way, as it allows basically the gubbermint to adjust the numbers continously higher (arguing with new and more contagious variants) while keeping pointing fingers at the unvaccinated as culprits that the pandemic didn't end yet. We use to joke about 102.5% vaccinated needed in 2022 to end the pandemic. They just shift the numbers higher and higher and have an easy scapegoat to blame why it didn't work and they will never get into the position to answer for their measures (just shift the percentage needed for herd-immunity 5 points higher and you're good, the higher you go the more unlikely it will ever be reached). Current situation here is, they do literally and figuratively everything to force motivate unvaccinated people to vaccinate while the vulnerable elderly population wanting the booster very hard is denied access to it. I read this as "we are still growing the initial user base for the product", otherwise it just doesn't make sense. Hospitals here are meanwhile well filled with vaccinated people severely sick on Covid, last 2 weeks death rate from/with Covid have gone about 50/50 vaccinated/unvaccinated. I still believe one of the key factors of not getting severely ill or worse from it is the initial viral load you get, I therefor found that hint for Algovir very helpful and ordered a few bottles of it. Thanks for that information. I myself will start to consider the vaccination once they.. ..offer to test you for antibodies and possibly for genetic disposition and then make a recommendation to vaccinate or not ..offer to test you for antibodies after vaccination, to give you an idea on how much protection you have got and how much more you can risk now (or if you're one of the poor souls where the vaccination just didn't provoke any meaningful reaction) ..offer to test you for antibodies before they ask you to boost again ..fully disclose the agreements with the producers and all their data, if this is a problem of global dimension, there is no space for intransparency here. ..force all the self-declared pandemic and vaccination experts to full financial disclosure regarding payments/stocks etc. of involved parties, it would irritate me if not most of the loudest pro-vaxxers hold some stocks or have some lucrative consulting mandates for big pharma, at least this has been proven for the swine flu where Pfizer basically bought the whole WHO's vote. ..prove vaccination is not to be repeated in very short terms (i.e. years instead of months) EDIT: To fix 2 dates I got wrong by 10 days in first paragraph |

/bin/sh: 1: mrkd: not found
make: *** [doc/Makefile:107: doc/lightning-cli.1] Error 127
Edit: It looks like sudo pip3 install mrkd solved the problem. I am not sure why I didn't need it before. mrkd is used to generate the documentation (manpages) from markdown files and before this release, the generated files were part of the source code. now you need to generate them yourself with mrkd Is is possible to just not generate docs using a compile flag? Seen that before but not sure if it's supported here. I usually only install pips into virtualenv's; not sure if this would work here if I activate the environment before running make. I wondered the same, especially after I noticed that the mrkd I get from pip3 install mrkd in Devuan/Debian 9 doesn't work with the installed Python 3.5.3. After some fruitless digging through the Makefile and configure (for something like --no-docs) I gave up and just did: sudo echo -e '#!/bin/sh\ntouch $2\nexit 0' > /usr/local/bin/mrkd
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mrkd
make && sudo make install-program
This whole mrkd thing is a unnecessary annoyance IMO. |

In more "you can't make this shit up" news... https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/italian-institute-health-drastically-reduces-its-official-covid-death-toll-numberItalian newspaper Il Tempo reports that the Institute has revised downward the number of people who have died from COVID rather than with COVID from 130,000 to under 4,000.
“Yes, you read that right. Turns out 97.1% of deaths hitherto attributed to Covid were not due directly to Covid,” writes Toby Young.
Of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone.
“All the other Italians who lost their lives had from between one and five pre-existing diseases. Of those aged over 67 who died, 7% had more than three co-morbidities, and 18% at least two,” writes Young.
“According to the Institute, 65.8% of Italians who died after being infected with Covid were ill with arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), 23.5% had dementia, 29.3% had diabetes, and 24.8% atrial fibrillation. Add to that, 17.4% had lung problems, 16.3% had had cancer in the last five years and 15.7% suffered from previous heart failures.”
The Institute’s new definition of a COVID death means that COVID has killed fewer people in Italy than (whisper it) the average bout of seasonal flu.
Actually you can make that shit up, thats why its called fake news. How about providing a actual link from the Italian Institute of Health. I can't find a thing on this and everything I find states deaths are increasing. I wondered the same and it speaks for the quality of zerohedge AND iltempo that it isn't there, though in all fairness the MSM does this all the time the same no matter pro or contra. In iltempo the link is in the comments: https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/sars-cov-2-decessi-italiaCan't really understand enough Italian to confirm or refute the zerohedge report, maybe somebody with better Italian can check it and report back what it really says there. |

Is communicating with the dead the reason they chose the name Meta (means dead in Hebrew) Mark Zuckerberg being from a Jewish family would obviously know this.
Meta is an anagram of meat. Users will be Zuck's meat-puppets. I always have to think of metastasis: Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site.. |

Some fun fact I stumbled across recently regarding purchasing power of the USD: In 1924 when Ford first produced the Model T in assembly lines and therefor cut production costs noteably, a brand new Model T could be had for $240-$265. So today 1BTC would buy you ~250 Model T's from 1924... Of course these had no digital clock, nor an integrated smartphone and the "autopilot" feature had to be hired on a monthly base (and had to be properly fed and hydrated from time to time), but nowadays this is probably more like the monthly leasing rate for some Asian or Eastern Europe low-budget tin can. |

I was thinking about Zuckerbergs new metaverse, wouldn't that make it possible for them to/users to collect/upload enough information to create a autonomous personality that can live on after the person dies.
That way you can still "communicate" with your dead friends and loved ones.
That would be pretty cool.
You describe quite accurately one of the episodes of Black Mirror ('Be right back'). You might want to check that episode to re-evaluate if that will be really a cool thing to have, for me it would be a very scary thought. Also the final conclusion of The Good Place comes to mind, that the thing lacking in heaven is being able to die once and forever. |

I agree, I did the same some months ago and I also use a combined squid+privoxy+tor installation to route a whole bunch of domains strictly over tor for our whole network.
Care to share some details about squid+privoxy setup? Sure, here is the (very) condensed gist of it, if you have questions hit me by pm anytime. Why not run everything through Tor? Like those little wifi routers that you can use some sort of firmware and everything goes through Tor? Or does your config work specifically only on those sites in the anon_hosts.conf file and everything else is "normal" ? Yes, that's the purpose, it only routes requests for the domains listed in anon_hosts.conf through tor, all others go direct from squid to clear internet. All internal hosts here use the squid proxy by default (only few exceptions get direct web access), though not all sites that users need to use can be reached/used over tor. Also for some we don't need the anonymity, for others speed and latency can be a reason not to use them via tor. Best example is google which we can't block completely yet as we've done for the whole dark empire of Zuckerberg (though that's done via DNS blackholing). |

Care to share some details about squid+privoxy setup? Sure, here is the (very) condensed gist of it, if you have questions hit me by pm anytime. - Install squid, privoxy and tor package
- Add/uncomment the following lines in privoxy config to make it use tor (I prefer 0.0.0.0 so other internal hosts can use privoxy directly, but 127.0.0.1:8081 will do too):
listen-address 0.0.0.0:8081
enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding 0
forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
- For torrc I recommed the following lines to make sure DNS queries are routed through tor, though it should work already with privoxy with default config:
RunAsDaemon 1
# this allows you to use your tor node as DNS resolver in your local network
# you can even use that resolver in your squid config, so squid will resolve sites over tor, even if you access them via clear internet
DNSPort 0.0.0.0:53
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
AutomapHostsSuffixes .exit,.onion
# makes sure you are not used as exit relay, if that is not your intention
ExitRelay 0
- In squid.conf you need to define a cache_peer (assuming you have a working squid.conf with acls for your local network etc.)
acl anon_hosts dstdomain "/etc/squid/anon_hosts.conf"
cache_peer localhost parent 8081 0 no-query no-digest
cache_peer_access localhost allow anon_hosts
always_direct deny anon_hosts
- Create the text file /etc/squid/anon_hosts.conf with one host/domain per line, i.e.
.wikipedia.org
.duckduckgo.com
.walletexplorer.com
.blockchain.com
etc.
Now you just point your browser for all requests to squid as proxy (i.e. 10.1.2.3:8080 or :3128 if you keep the default of squid) and you can even browse now .onion sites without having tor installed additionally to all listed domains going over tor. One caveat: If you are using this to route one of those websites over tor that includes/loads scripts and shit from several dozen other domains, make sure to hunt these all down too with i.e. no-script and add them to the anon_hosts.conf file too, otherwise you will leak your ip-address with those requests going over clear internet not tor. Also there are a lot of precompiled tracker/ad/spyware domain lists that can be used. I haven't yet found that an extensive list slows down squid in a noticeable way. As said, this is far from a complete setup (only squid alone has gazillions of configuration options), but these are the hard-to-figure-out parts, feel free to ask if stuck. My personal goal is just to annoy the crap out of the websites trying to make money from my UPI (user profile information) for perfect better online anonymity you need even more effort. HTH |

Rereading this, I see again that they react to pressure. When psycodad gives them until the end of the month, I understand that otherwise he would have created a trust flag or something, then they pay him.
Loyce's bot summoned me, so here I am  Yes Poker Player is absolutely right, and the flag would have only been the beginning, I made that very clear to one of the mods. There are way more effective ways to hurt them really hard on top of creating flags. The thing with the loss that didn't occur is that they were simply lucky in my case. I tried to withdraw a sizeable amount of Doge to sell for Bitcoin. At the time I requested the wd, price was at ~600 Sats, when I finally could withdraw it was still about in this range. If it had dropped by say 100 or even 200 Sats within this time I would have made a pretty big loss (USD and BTC-wise). But even with about the same price I could have easily lost on a missed opportunity (whatever, a car, a house that got sold otherwise in the meantime). When I invested into bitvest I tried everything first with small amounts and did rely on their promise to be able to withdraw any amount within 18 hours backed on lightlord's excellent trust and reputation. But it was part of the agreement that I proposed that if I get my money on my last ultimatum that I won't follow-up on it in anyway, neither flags nor other measures I have had prepared and I uphold that agreement from my side. There is indeed a bit of a dilemma in this, but I decided to keep my word as I still feel very lucky having got my investments back. Actually I first only planned to divest a small amount from bitvest to secure some of my gains and the reason for that were previous credible reports from people in the bitvest thread that they can't withdraw for days and do not get any answers no matter how they try contact bitvest, which kind of started to unsettle me considering the amounts I had invested there. Once I found I couldn't even divest a small part of my investment I got worried and decided to pull out everything ASAP. Mods told me that this is an ongoing problem since longer but I should just trust that I get my money at some point. So this is obviously has been going on longer than two months. |

This would explain why Google has been blocking TOR searches with endless capchas. I thought it was just profitz. I've stopped using Google as a search engine on the consumer side. My default now has been duckduckgo for awhile, maybe the past 5 years or so. Try it. Set all your browsers on all your devices to use the duck and just delete or remove google. You won't miss it. I agree, I did the same some months ago and I also use a combined squid+privoxy+tor installation to route a whole bunch of domains strictly over tor for our whole network. For the user the experience is at first a bit confusing, mostly because duckduckgo doesn't personalize results. So often users feel at first that the result quality is worse than google. People got used to the fact that google knows pretty much what they are searching for before they enter the first character into the searchbox, so they either lost or never developed skills to properly search in a text index. I.e. they enter "I want to make an applepie" instead of "recipe apple pie". Oh and yes, if LEO has a warrant for you, google will happily send them your search history of up to 20yrs back! They can identify you over dozens of devices because they are basically sitting in almost every single web page with google-analytics, google-fonts and whatnot. Ever wondered why you are not allowed to download these friggin fonts for example? I am currently reading (or trying to, it is written in a quite sophisticated and academic-sounding english) Shoshana Zuboff's 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for the Future at the New Frontier of Power' - it gives you a good idea on what google's business model is and how it works. She argues for example that if you are not a customer, you are the product is wrong, in case of google you are just a resource to harvest to them. Soshana also appears a few times in The Social Dilemma which I highly recommend if you are unclear about the real purpose and goals of facebook and co. But then again, if you have nothing to hide and are prepared to explain every single search you did in the last 20yrs, google is fine and on top of that not evil. On the other hand if the search engine has nothing to hide is not evil, it let's you access it via tor.. (which DDG does) |

Interesting read: Vaccines currently are the primary mitigation strategy to combat COVID-19 around the world. For instance, the narrative related to the ongoing surge of new cases in the United States (US) is argued to be driven by areas with low vaccination rates [1]. A similar narrative also has been observed in countries, such as Germany and the United Kingdom [2]. At the same time, Israel that was hailed for its swift and high rates of vaccination has also seen a substantial resurgence in COVID-19 cases [3]. We investigate the relationship between the percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases across 68 countries and across 2947 counties in the US. |

Translated from german, OT: EU is working on the “master key” for social networks
At the meeting of interior and justice ministers in Luxembourg, which ended on Friday, the start of an EU regulation against secure encryption in social networks was quietly and secretly set. Commissioner Ylva Johansson had such a regulation
(Interior department) already announced in spring.
It was discussed how WhatsApp and Co. should be obliged to compromise their end-to-end encryption (E2E) with master keys and to transfer chats in plain text to the prosecutors. According to Johansson, this is necessary to track child abuse online. The subject was not mentioned in the press release after the ministerial meeting.
Few things get me angry, but this one is exceptionally hard to swallow. I don't use facefook and whatsCrap, tho. EDIT: How about "democracy abuse", this would probably get most of these fuckers into jail. Yeah, right. As if criminals and pedos use WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to communicate. Even many "normal" people have stopped using this crap. Haven't they heard of Signal, PGP and Tor? There's always going to be a way to securely communicate. They cannot unwrite cryptography. Just like they cannot undo Bitcoin. Fucking morons. Yeah, the agenda is kinda clear: Spying on average joe... 1984 seems to be late for 40 years  Last year i got news that they want to ban messaging services that refuse to obey to the master-key dictate, speaking of Signal. Banning Tor and projects like GPG and other frontends using encrypt/decrypt would probably lead to a full blown cyberwar. Why not? It's clear who is the evil here. In the 90s we had a saying: Welcome to 1984
as with all goverment projects, its a bit late and slightly overbudget As I come to understand now, the "a bit late" and "slightly overbudget" parts were an understatement. Then again, they seem to try to outperform the original blueprint in Orwells book in all areas and that understandably takes some time and money. On a serious note: I predict there will be more otherwise pretty controversial rulings silently approved and introduced, carefully avoiding any public discussion as in Rahms famous "never let a good crisis go to waste".. |

How much of your stash would you sell if Satoshi's coins moved to an exchange? That's a pretty far-fetched premise. Does anybody really think Satoshi or anyone with access to those coins would actually move them to "an exchange"? I guess the real purpose of the poll is to gauge the number of panic sellers versus hodlers. I feel it's the wrong question anyway, it should be "How many of your FIAT would you transfer to an exchange to buy the incoming dip Satoshis coins for cheap?" Whatever coins he could throw at the market, I am pretty sure they would be absorbed in a short time (depnending on how much), so it would IMO only be a short setback. Then again, I agree, it's highly hypothetical in the first place. |
