I did not see the first game..did De Bruyne already recover from his skull fracture?
Obviously, Hazard can do a decent passing job to Lukaku, but Kevin is a special player.

are you referring to me? I am not THAT loud.

F-k Elon and his small-overpriced Tesla.
Who is a bigger hypocrite than him?
Talking about electricity usage by miners when his car gobbles electricity made mostly from oil/coal.
This guy should piss off.

I kind of got tired of this mini-bear (so far).
What is Mr. Market waiting for? G-7?

yes, there is such thing as magnetic nanoparticles and there is (or rather was since it was not used much since) a method of transfection (introduction of DNA into cells) by USING a magnet and such nanoparticles. In practicality, 100 microliters (0.1 ml) of injection, EVEN if it were those particles (they are not!) could not make anyone magnetized due to the dilution effect (by a factor of 1:50000, counting only blood volume and nothing else).

TL;DR: magnetic nanoparticles are for the use of magnets in cell transfection, nothing else. Using them for mRNA vaccines makes no sense as nobody is being asked to go through a gigantic magnet afterwards, are they?

I am sorry, but he is full of s-t, you can tell him that your friend who has PhD in Biology with 20+ year experience in genetics told you so.
However, if his arm is sweaty, a magnet very well might stick, but it is a property of water (high surface tension) and not any "magnetizing".
Superstition squared.

Agree, this is the gist of the story. And yes, residency program would bring people, although I am not sure how many countries you can visit with a passport from El Salvador (at least right now). Only those second citizenship programs that allow for widely accepted non-visa travel are successful.

I wonder if any European countries would do that at some point. Of course, you can only make a decision based on a current info, but they can always pull a rug from under you by changing some rules or laws. Puerto Rico did that recently (increasing the yearly cost by 50%) and USVI did it beforehand.

Overall, though, if (or rather when) bitcoin would be successful on a large scale, countries would compete for bringing bitcoin wealth to their area, I have little doubt about that.

M. Saylor move...wow, but they are SENIOR notes and HIGH YIELD (aka "junk") at 6.125% interest.
6.125% interest on 500mil is 30.625 mil yearly interest. MSTR has only 81 mil EBITDA.
Basically, it is an "all in" kind of move.
Senior bondholders are in a pole position to get everything the company holds in a hypothetical case of a company going bankrupt...for example by not being able to service it's debts.

Next earnings report will be not good:
"The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company said in a filing Monday that it’s taking a roughly $284.5 million charge during its next earnings report due to losses related to fluctuations in the price of the digital asset. That amounts to more than the company’s cumulative earnings since 2011."

Hopefully, WS would treat it as one-off.
This is potentially dangerous for the long term company survival, UNLESS he has some ace up his sleeve, and maybe he has, at least i hope so.

it does not...for that we need to see countries like Denmark, Netherlands or even better, Switzerland, doing the same.

If only our local idiots could comprehend that the very fact that China is against bitcoin should be an indication for them to support bitcoin instead of harping some bs about it.
China is obviously trying to replace dollar with yuan. Bitcoin is in a way as a potential alternative, so they gang up on it first. US and rest of the West and east should support bitcoin and resist yuan.
Bitcoin and dollar do not really compete (not yet).

My general policy is not to buy a declining market, but if there will be a large scale capitulation event, then maybe it will be worth a shot to have a bigger buy.
I won't care to name the number at which I would be enticed to proceed, maybe will go with a gut feeling if I have time...being swamped at work right now.

BTW..the current poll likely to have a typo as 7-19(!) mo is preceding 9-12 mo. In any case...it is what it is.

I invest in bitcoin mostly for ideological reasons, but have to say that since Dec 2017 (last ATH), bitcoin underperformed FAANG and almost all of those stocks with the exception of FB outperformed btc by a factor of about 2X. MSFT also outperformed during this time period.
It has NOT been 2X a year since Dec 2017, no sireee.

This might hurt our/your feelings, but it is what it is..and some people in bitcoin are starting to get on my nerves, especially Max Keiser...what a douche.

It's a good news, but, come one, will they listen to such straight reason? I doubt it.
They are already perfectly fine with a cacophony of bitcoin classifications by each of the multiple agencies involved.

that uppity dweeb bot surly provides WO downity, does it not? ...it's lil selfie, perhaps?

It feels like a bear market. Maybe (hopefully) a local one.

Not predicting anything, but a continuation of this would be similar to $6.5K 'flat' that fooled everybody in 2018.
It ended with almost vertical decline from $6.K to $3.1K where we had capitulation. "Math and science" $ for $ comparison would stipulate $17-20K bottom if this scenario plays out. Probability: imho, 30-50%. The rest (50-70%): we would just scrape some bottom (hopefully, above 30K) and slowly (at first ) turn around and proceed to some ATH.

Why do I have the same feeling (of 2018 deja vu):
a. We have a few very large, but very iffy holders (starting with Musk, maybe PTJ, even Novo).
b. We have another large holder (M. Saylor), who bought one large tranche too high and did not buy it using cash. Instead, he borrowed money. Ideologically, he is a hodler, but we don't know if he had any debt covenants. Hopefully, none. His average is about 24K. I believe that he would hold even if we get there and below, but who knows.
c. Wall street absolutely loves when someone takes a known leveraged position and they are able to hammer such entity with a down move, trying to force a liquidation sale.

EDIT: Of course, S2F and the fact that we never went below prior ATH in a bear market gives credence to an argument that it is not likely. We shall see.

35 is a "magic" number.
Before 35 whatever you eat "magically' disappears and you don't really gain weight.
After 35 you need to watch out, otherwise you might gain 1lb/year and the weight creeps up in a difficult to notice fashion (because is is so slow), yet in 10 years it might be 10lb extra.

Once you gain that 4-5 kilos (10 lb), it is quite difficult to shake it off as when you try, your body "thinks" that you are starving and starts to switch into more "economical" mode and the weight stays. Dieting typically does not work long term as people relapse.

1. it depends. I don't think someone posting bitcoin doodle next to the broken heart image could be construed as such.
2. he only cares about himself and his lofty ideas. bitcoin is a play thing.

however, the person who throws s-t against the wind might end up smelling not too good.

not statistically proven: chart buddy postings (when occurring at high frequency) seem to inhibit the number of other posts on WO.
I guess people get the info and are satisfied.

OT: AMC...he he he
Heard on the street: "it's not your dad's market".
