I heard RPC (rusty pipe coin) performs the best. Find a guy named BabLawBlaw here in this thread he might send you some...  Grin

dont forget potential forks like rusty nails coin, rusty rebar coin and such. collect them all!

Additionally, you can all stake them in the $BACCT (Bleeding Asshole Crypto Chain Token) for even more yield...

WO Thread now..




-You called top..
-You sold!!
-Nah.. you sold first!!

Why? I'm not aware of anyone here on WO who has actually sold recently. Perhaps that savetherainsforest guy if it actually happened. Because if you don't have BTC you can't sell BTC...  Grin

Nah, but i bought the local top again Smiley
I sold a bit near the bottom of the last dip (of my "movable" tiny stack) to pay work and material for the house extension.
Turned out i only needed about two thirds of the fiat, so i threw in the rest again today (edit: merely two hours ago) at a few bucks below $51.5k  Roll Eyes
Well, at least all the filthy fiat was used for SOLID things now.  Grin

EDIT: And minutes after i wrote this, corn goes up above $51.6k *rocketgif*

bid order book is paper thin, feels like one entity just buying it up

Yeah, but it was also one entity yesterday who dumped it down to 47k ... so ... hope for the best...

and today was constantly selling into bulls. Just shows how early we are where one whale can swing the market around like that

On-chain data revealed that (most) miners are generally holding their BTC since dec/2020,tho.
f2pool won't go on like that for long, imho. (or they are just too deep into futures, but maybe simply just too dumb).

This is just becoming too annoying.

Annoying indeed, and going the way of a more articulated gembitz. In his partial defense, he wasn't always like that. Possible explanations: (a) he got his account stolen (or sold it),  (b) he became a sour nocoiner due to boat accident, mindrusting, thoughtless spending or other reasons, (c) he is overdoing some pleasant poison, in powder or liquid form.

Thanks for pointing that out, eddie.
I mostly got annoyed by the shitcoin talk, amongst other things.

My birthday today, I'm now 60, got celebrated by the family earlier.
I didn't really care that much when I turned 50, but 60 does make me feel a bit old.
O well,nothing I can do about it, back to the internet and my model rocket rabbithole.

WO is not really the place to be discussing this, but for those abstaining from eating meat (vegetarians, vegans, etc.) for ethical reasons (i.e., being against cruelty to animals), please understand that our very existence and way of life in this world is based on violence and causes violence by natural necessity. To really stop causing violence, one must commit suicide. It is of no coincidence that in certain languages, the word "life" is exactly the same as the word "violence". It's a cause and effect thing. We cannot escape it. This is part of the tragedy of our existence.

Having said the above, I fully understand OOM's stance on this. I once watched a YouTube video (now banned) of slaughtering a cow in a slaughterhouse in former East-Germany, and I literally threw up. I would probably feel and do the same as OOM, if I was forced to slaughter an animal with my own hands before eating it. This is just our brains trying to deal with an act that seems so incompatible with our ethical values. Is this what we do to animals? Yes, it is! And many more, unspeakable acts of violence, that we do to animals and fellow humans, to sustain our existence and way of life. Violence that society/civilization carefully shields us from. It's kind of like unplugging yourself from The Matrix and seeing reality in its truly raw form.

Thanks!

As someone once said, veganism is a mental disorder. I did not say it, just quoting someone else. (shots fired!)

Plenty of my own family members are either vegans or vegetarians, or were, or tried it. I let them be.

Those who got hypnotized out of it are exempted, it's not your fault.


Define "mental disorder". But i can understand that view, too. Let's agree on "mentality"?
That's what left when the subjective part "disorder" is taken out of the equation.

As for hypnosis: It triggered something that quietly simmered inside me for decades, but i learned to ignore it.
That's what hypnosis does. It's awesome.

$45k.. We reached the bottom guys... Time to fill up bags!!!

Hope that's true but we still have chance to see 38k for the dip.

yeah, sure. some people are m..dr..t still waiting for 2k Smiley

The Future contracts will expire tonight, it can make BTC price very volatile. Upside ; 48K   Downside : 42K

Me too... This $49-50k grinding is boring AF... Maybe it's better to stop following the price so closely, and just wait for it to pick up when it will.

Wow that’s very interesting never thought of this way. But how do they track liquid and illiquid supply?


They use figures like when BTC on a certain address were last moved. Less than a month ago (higly liquid), less than a year ago (liquid). I don't know the correct timespans, thought i read it somewhere. I was watching these figures since a couple of months, quite interesting. Illiquid supply is the sum of all BTC on the network that were mined and not moved, or bought on an exchange and never moved or moved only once (or longer times ago), to an address from which not a single Satoshi was sent to another address yet or more than n years ago. I don't remember the value of n.

Short: Bitcoins that are moved frequently are considered highly liquid, Bitcoins that are moved from time to time are considered liquid.

I think it's an actor from the first star wars trilogy, the movie (episode 6?) with the brown little bears Ewoks on Endor, the wood planet (IIRC), playing one of the rebels taking over the federational post that is somehow important to destroy the new death star. Photoshopped onto some male "model" showing off really ugly clothes, probably destined  for some kind of perverted fetish.

A while ago Craig threatened to "bankrupt" and "destroy the lives" of developers. Today, some of Bitcoin Core's longest and most talented developers are getting sued by him. He's trying to drive them away, bully them, and ultimately tie them up in nonsense litigation.

Quote
If you hold Bitcoin, you need to seriously start campaigning to get BSV delisted everywhere. And fight back *hard* against this rubbish. If he scares away our best developers, and distracts them with legal rubbish, he's hurting Bitcoin's technical progress.

Quote
We need to make noise, and make sure the people contributing to Bitcoin Core don't get bullied by this man. It won't ever end, the next thing will be patent trolling, or some other kind of legal bullying. Enough is enough. BSV *has* to be removed from every exchange.

CSW truly is rat poison squared.

I wonder how it is not possible to see where it's heading. I am so proud I never touched, not even by mistake, that BSV shit.
Such a small man he is.

If I've ever "touched" anything CSW-related, that would be BCH (a.k.a. bcash LOL) and BTG (Bitcoin Gold), which were given to me for free due to the forks, as with all Bitcoin HoDLers back then. I dumped them all near their peak, and this got me nearly 10 extra BTC to add to my stash.

I would never ever get my hands on those shittiest-of-shitcoins.

I sold my BCH straight away after the fork, so i didn't get any BSV, it was under a whole BTC back then.
Narcissism should be treated as it is, a sickness. Narcs like CSW don't have insight into their own sickness.
He might get a good therapist in jail, hopefully. Pun intended.

Calling him dangerously insane because he argues for synthetic beef isn't a great starter. Producing beef is incredibly wasteful, not to mention you have to butcher an animal.

I'm a proud carnivore, yet I would gladly switch to synthetic meat when it is similar in taste and cost. There's simply no reason not to.

After what I have read on the subject so far, it seams that synthetic meat lacks a lot of the nutrients that natural meat has.

Cows and what not, eat natural food and get all the nutrients in that food, synthetic food is just cells grown in a dish (or similar) with only the basics for cell survival.

I wish it would be as good as real meat, it would help stop the maltreatment of animals that takes place in many countries.
Until then I will just have to try to chose meat from good farms.

Ok, i start straight away and hope i don't lose track.
I'm a Vegetarian. Don't judge it yet. Why?

I (thought) i always liked meat. I had pretty much of it, in it's more ugly and more delicious forms.
But then, my wife made a hypnosis cert. When she was learning it, we did some practice sessions, which you need to get the certification.
One of these sessions ran under the topic "I'd like to be more proud of my values, to act more faithfully towards them".

Spoiler:
Turned out that the first animal i killed as consciously, as a kid, a toad, raised an unknown level of shame and guilt in me.
I remembered that months after the actual hypnosis session but i knew it was related.

After the session i couldn't eat meat any more. I could well taste and chew it, but i couldn't swallow it. I had to spit out.
I also saw pictures of the living animals in my mind when i tried to. Fine. In the end i didn't care. I am also forgetful, as most of WO might know, so i always tend to forget that i am a Veggie, bite into a sausage, but then i realize  Cheesy
So i had plenty of occasions to discover the dynamics behind my new unwanted "lifestyle". But i also forget about many problems i have, and this one was just in line with others i encounter over time. This way my mind brought up that event from my childhood, when i killed that fat toad, by putting it in a jar and throwing stones at it, so it bleeded to death by the cuts. I didn't think about the outcome, but when the obvious happened, it struck me. There was a second kid, he was amused. I wasn't.
This event made me really take care to not ever hurt or kill an animal.
Decades later, i thought it is an idea to raise chicken and slaughter them. Said and done. But i the meat tasted horrible, while everyone else said it was tasting really good. So as long as the animal is hidden by the product (in form of ready cut meat and meat products), i had no problem eating and enjoying meat.
I also don't care if everybody else enjoys meat. I don't see the "lambie killer" (sorry Lambie Slayer) in a person that likes to eat meat or slaughters animals.
When i go fishing, one of my kids has to kill the fish, but i still prepare (and sometimes) cook the filets without a bad feeling. As a side effect, i learned to honor animals as the source of one of our most important foods.

Which takes me to the point, after writing 15-20 minutes on it, that animals and their meat should be treated and eaten respectful. I even would recommend everybody to slaughter an animal to finally eat its meat, before judging over vegetarians. I never judged them.
Sure, we know there's many of them that are veggies to put themselves unconsciously above ordinary meat-eating people (lambie killers and all), but it is exactly the motivation that is to be judged, not the lifestyle as such.

EDIT: Producing and eating "artificial meat" would be just the same as tofu. Even vegetarians should have not much of a problem to eat it. What bugs me the most about it is that it's not a 100% substitute (nutritional aspects, mainly) and it's also fucking disrespectful to nature (which isn't exactly unusual in most of our cultures).

That sounds like a bunch of bullshit, OOM..

I am not suggesting that you are not saying the truth, but get the fuck over the psychological aspects of being bothered by eating meat and killing animals.

I am not even suggesting that vegetarians might not have good intentions in terms of having sympathies for animals, but if you are actually considering your health, you would probably be much healthier if you make sure to include decent amounts of meat in your diet on a daily basis would be good.. include eggs if you like.

So yeah, if you have memory issues, you better start fucking eating some meat because b12 deficiencies are a real thing and difficult to reverse from my understanding.

Anyhow, sorry to come out so harsh, but I think people should not be mixing up their good feelings towards animals blah blah blah as compared with what is actually healthy for themselves to make sure that they have some of it (talking about meat and meat fat) in their diets.

I still love you, OOM, even though you have fucked up ideas in regard to diets.. #nohomo

Well, that is just uhm... your opinion, man  Wink
I value the fact that you wrote "sounds like a bunch of BS" instead of "is a bunch of ...", which i can comprehend IF you didn't misread my post.

To emphasize the key points: I loved eating meat, also for its nutritional value. I also take a supporting amount (60% RDA) of B12, along with other B-vitamins daily, as i work out almost daily to compete back and neck pain from many years of sitting in front of a screen at work. I always consume a lot of dairy, at the moment i'm even chewing on a chunk of cheese (#nohomo). I have chicken, and eggs are also a foundation of my food plan.

It's clearly a psychological thing, triggered by intentional hypnosis, as a side effect though. It never was a point that i didn't WANT to eat meat. The deeper source of this transformation of mindset is the fact that i honestly hate to hurt or mistreat animals. The goal was not to live against my "true values", which ALSO reflected in my new veggie being. I don't even promote veggie lifestyle, but personally, i don't suffer in any way from it. It's just that eating meat got somewhat unimportant, and if i happen to eat some hidden meat, say a crumb of ham on a pizza, i won't become a drama queen about that  Smiley

Hypnosis is so powerful in that regard, i clearly underestimated it as well before i tried.
You should probably try it too, without intentional aspects, just for the experience of that mind-centering feeling of "floating" (or "flowing"? or both... hard to describe).
It leaves you somewhat "anchored" or "grounded" (for lack of better terms) for some weeks after, which is a fucking awesome experience by itself.

So no worries, everyone in the family loves the meat and i don't care. No offensive feelings in any way there.
As i said, for one time in a life, kill and prepare the animals you eat yourself, if you have the ability to do so (i have a farming neighborhood).
It will change your way of looking at meat, although it will not make you a veggie, probably, and even if, you wouldn't feel too bad about it.

Please, eat meat, drink blood etc. but maybe, sometimes, imagine that it would come from (formerly) living beings, which look into your eyes before you kill and dissect them, take care of their remainings and wash off their blood of your skin.

love out to you as well
#nohomo

Maybe I don't really understand how things work very well, because it seems to me that financial advisors are partially motivated by assets that have some kind of financial vehicle rather than buying the asset directly

Fine, but financial vehicles can break.
Like if a bicycle breaks, the wheel itself (as the invention) can't be "broken".
Bitcoin is "the wheel" of cryptocurrencies.
