Let's see where this road will take us.
I was on the verge of further selling a bit, but i have no idea how to spend the fiat, and i don't need money for finishing my house, yet.
So i just better leave this thought, for now.

As for the bull market, i try to sell high, to buy more at a later time, at about mindrust levels...

EDIT: Thanks for the merit, Bob. Will be used as destined.

do you remember on this worldwide COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and onwards?  Roll Eyes

there is a strong evidence from an research of an scientist of the University of Hamburg that the source is the Wuhan laboratory.

+++ 17:31 Hamburg researchers: there are indications that coronavirus comes from the laboratory +++

The Hamburg nanoscientist Roland Wiesendanger compiled various findings from scientific studies, articles, reports in social media and other sources in the period from January to December of last year and comes to the conclusion: The pathogen Sars-CoV-2 is not of natural origin, but comes from a laboratory in Wuhan. The physicist cites the following points as evidence for these theories:

  • To date, no so-called intermediate host has been identified that proves according to the "zoonosis theory" that the coronaviruses were transmitted from bats to humans.
  • A research group at the virological institute in the city of Wuhan has carried out genetic manipulations on coronaviruses for many years with the aim of making them more contagious, dangerous and deadly for humans.
  • There were significant safety deficiencies in the virological institute in the city of Wuhan even before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which are documented.
  • Against the background of these and other factors, Wiesendanger writes: "In summary, it can be said that there are very many indications that a laboratory accident at the 'Wuhan Institute of Virology' appears to be by far the most likely cause of the corona pandemic."

You can read more about this shortly on ntv.de.


it took a whole year to collect all points for evidence:

The point is, comparing things/events from the past to one of current time (and the future), which are not even very similar, is just wrong in most cases.
I mean: Tulips? REALLY?!

EDIT: Bitcoin is the first real counterweight for fiat money. How can somebody, even a so called "expert" even compare this to the irregularly crazy tulip mania?

Stupid questions: I've always wondered... How did the owners keep their tulips in good condition? Weren't they worried that they may dry out and die? How long can a tulip even last?

I would be very worried if I had to take care of my Bitcoins like plants. You know, water them, get them out in the sun, protect them from pests, feed them with nutrients... Hard work! Fortunately, my Trezor and/or paper seed backups don't need anything to survive, not even power. Maintenance-free forever!

Tulips are just like fiat or Ethereum. Before you run out of them, you just grow some new ones.

Well, i was thinking about that too, but the neighbors would likely kill me for having this thing running for days (they use firewood) and i just can't sleep in noisy environments. It's a nightmare on intercontinental flights. As soon as i recognize the noise cancellation of the ears at the moment i'm falling asleep, i wake up because the absence of turbine noise is raising some kind of alert. Maybe i shouldn't have tried to forcefully stay awake for quite some time, in an episode of my past life. IDK  Huh

They have some very quiet gas generators. PV is possibly a good idea too though.

The thing about a generator is that you don't need to run it 24/7. When out power was out, we were running a couple of times a day just to keep the freezer cold. The last few days have been overcast so PV would probably have been less then optimal. The passive nature of PV and not requiring fuel is definitely a bonus. I would suggest that it's worth having both and using each to its strengths.

Having thought this further, i may buy a 10-12kW mobile generator (fuel) and build a tiny, wooden shed for protection and fuel storage.
Just in case. $5-6k for something that shouldn't let me down if i power it up occasionally. I would just have to use up the fuel once a year or every other, depending on how long the fuel has good quality (relying on additives, i guess).


As a Bitcoin hodler, it's very bullish but I'm not much looking forward to trying to find a Bitcoin ATM in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

And once you found one, it will take some time to get the tens of thousands of dollar bills into your armored lambo, one handed, because of the gun you're holding...  Shocked

That's why my plans after taking profit near the peak of this cycle includes an autonomous photovoltaic power supply for the house., maybe coupled with wind energy.

What about a propane or diesel home generator? Wouldn't that be an easier/cheaper solution?

Sorry, drifting off topic a little...
The big plus of the PV cells is that you feed the unused power into the supply network, which saves and sometimes even generates some good amount of money.
It just has to be big enough to run the house on a semi-clouded day. A dry, floating room (room in a room), dug into the ground for a tank and generator that could run for days would cost much more, but this would be the minimum.

Stay warm and safe, friends.
Is this really you, Bob?  Grin

Faced with the prospect of freezing to death, you become pretty fucking cheery when the heat comes back on.

Long version:
(feel free to skip to the end)

We got power outages after heavy snowfall and/or storms (or much snow followed by rain) over here, about two times per winter. Normally they last 6-10 hours, because we're in an area where quite many households per square mile are supplied, at least for countryside measures, so these come first when the powerlines are repaired.
This winter we had a power outage lasting for two and a half day (!), because one of the two largest 380 Kilovolt lines ripped apart, which sends a shockwave between the neighboring poles to the left and right. They had to cut away and rebuild almost three quarter miles of power lines. Luckily, we live across the main street, which is the border of the two power supply zones. It were a good 10 hours without power, no hassle. We all got energy efficient houses, they keep the warmth inside a little longer, as long as you keep the doors and windows closed.

Now, three years ago, we had power outage number two (of the winter). No more than six hours BUT when the energy supply company switched the line on and off repeatedly, our heating system died (geothermal heat pump) and the support guy needed two days to get to us. A brilliant guy, he already pre-ordered the needed parts, or else we eould have to wait another 2 weekdays for the repair. Temperatures were just around freezing. Temperature went down a good 9 degrees inside, so we slept in sleeping bags with our clothes on.

So far so good, last summer the heating fucked off because a lightning hit near our house and killed the electronics through the outside temperature sensor. SARS-CoV-2 made the service companies half as quick and the brilliant guy already left for a better job. Now it took seven days (over the weekend) for the tech to show up, with nothing but his toolbox  Roll Eyes He needed almost two hours to know what to do and which parts to order. A VERY talkative dude, with little skill. He knew a shitload about cars, as i was forced to find out. It was friday again, so he showed up four days later with the parts and repaired the system SLOW AF.
I never seen a tech working this slow before. I swear you could watch him thinking!
If we suffer a defect in winter, we're fucked. We would have to move out for a while or freeze to death.

That's why my plans after taking profit near the peak of this cycle includes an autonomous photovoltaic power supply for the house., maybe coupled with wind energy.

If anything I'm the screw up in the family so wouldn't be worried about getting fiat back. My sister makes more money than me, however she works in Paris and wants a flat not too far, so that's around 10000€ for 1 square meter of living space...

My parents were both public servants so yeah, pretty socialists !

I wouldn't give a single sat to anyone who doesn't deserve it, especially family members. I'd say "get on your bike and work for it."

No free lunch for anyone.

Well, i would. Not because they want, but only if i wanted.
That's why i have an even share of my hodlstack for everyone in my family. The part that my wife owns she paid for herself.

Better get those vampires off you neck, brothers!

                                   

Omit the 0, sum up the other digits, bring em back together and it equals 50.

I'm not really sure if "taking profits" in fiat can really be considered correct phraseology any longer.
I don't think you guys are getting just how far gone the current fiat banking systems are. It's like saying taking profits in Zimbabwe dollars, or taking profits in Venezuelan bolivars, argentine pesos ... at some point it's nonsensical to talk about taking profits if you're buying a higher risk devaluing asset


It depends what you're buying. fiat or an investment (which your home is not) then probably not but if you're materially improving your life (even in trivial or ephemeral ways) then I think it's fair.

How is a home not an investment?

Is rent free where you are?

Your home is only an investment if you plan to one day sell it (for more than you bought it); if you don't ever plan to leave, then it's not really an investment.

Depends on how you look at it.
It's an investment that "returns" a major part of your everyday life, in terms of recreation, privacy and space to express yourself (and moar).

next move up is setting up to be quite explosive again.

the bull flag upward pennant beneath 50k looks strong and if it's right about the exchanges getting cleaned out of corn .... well the only resolution to lack of corn is higher prices

Some interpret this as rising wedge (bearish).
I don't agree, however. It also doesn't fit the sentiment at all.

Those who try to scare us with going to 0 talk either don't understand how exchanges work, or are hoping to make others sell, so they buy cheaper. I am not scared of any low price and that I will be at a loss temporarily (happened many times already). On the contrary, I am happy with the fact that I can buy more Bitcoins with my monthly income. The question is not how low we may go, but how high we will go! For the ignorants just two numbers - 200 price at the end of 2014 (does it matter now?!?) and stable 6K at the end of 2017 (excluding the peak 10-20K). So we are on this schedule: 4k at the end of 2018 and stable 30-40K  at the end of 2021 (with possible peak above 100K). But let's say we have more crooks like Wu, Ver and Wright to hammer the price, and SEC is still refusing to allow ETF. Then what about in 7-8 years. With almost all 21mil Bitcoins mined, and several millions lost each year, and millions of new buyers... The explosion can't be delayed much longer for sure. So, no need of FUD or nervous trading, just hodl and you won't be dissapointed by the result!

In reality, last BTC mined should be around 2140 by current prognosis, so 7-8 years won't work.
Difficulty problems?  Cheesy

Also, several millions of bitcoin lost each year...
How?  Roll Eyes

We'll be "almost" way before 2140. Someone even predicted before 2078 due to constantly being faster than 10 minutes mined per block (halvings are about 3 years 10 months instead of a full 4 years).

However, even assuming 10 minute blocks, we'd have "almost" all bitcoins mined by about 2040, with 20.95m BTC or more than 99% already.

Thanks for the info. My sources may be a bit outdated, it seems...  Roll Eyes

EDIT:

As for the poll, i "already have taken profits". Yesterday, to be precise. Just a little, for funding the extension of my house. There will be subsequent takings in the near future, and as it seems about half of what i bought before winter will remain in the hodlstack.
