Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're continuing to soar... currently $6406USD/$8608CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

I thought $6k would present a little more resistance but it's starting to look like a done deal.

Go Bitcoin go.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

The battle for $6k continues... currently $6027USD/$8135CAD (Bitcoinaverage). This could take a while.

We'll all feel a lot better when we hit $7k.

Go Bitcoin go.
2403  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 09, 2019, 01:07:45 AM
Nice to see $6k again.

I think I'll go around the corner for a margarita. The band should be starting soon.

How long before the inevitable correction/profit-taking?

I figure the battle for $6k ain't over yet but it's been a long time coming and I feel like celebrating.

At this rate we should be double the bottom soon.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland

Nice to see Bitcoin moving toward $6k... currently $5895USD/$7942CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Go Bitcoin go.

In light of @LFC's astonishing honey-badgeresque comeback from 3-0 down against a Barcelona team with the world's best player, I hereby declare Liverpool the official back-and-forth sportsball team of Bitcoin carnivores. Anyone who disagrees is a plant-eating nocoiner. #AllezAllezAllez

FTFY  Wink

I find back-and-forth games like hockey, soccer, and basketball to be rather boring. I prefer more cerebral sports like baseball and gridiron "foot"ball. I like a bit more strategy than "shoot or pass".

That said, I did enjoy yesterday's FIFA football game. We were sitting in a tourista restaurant in Playa del Carmen eating enchiladas when Liverpool scored their 3rd and 4th goals. Needless to say the whole place went nuts. The look on the Barcelona goalkeeper's face was priceless.

It seems the whole world was rooting for Liverpool. Even I found it exciting.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

Sideways at $5.7k I see... currently $5737USD/$7715CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Dental work proceeding on schedule. Had 2 sessions of prefitting  already and will have 1st test set of teeth installed on Thursday. Final  set installed sometime next week after adjustments, then further adjustments and fine tuning to follow. Total procedure should take about 3 weeks then I'll be set for life.

Ran up to the jungle for 3 nights last week just in time for the electrical service change-over to 240v and a chance to supervise installation of new circuitry  Also got the chance to bring down enough kitchen equipment to turn our $20/night hotel room into a nice cosy studio apartment for Laura and me. Nothing like healthy, cheap home-cooked food in a great environment, half a block from the beach and half a block from the live music bar where I have a VIP discount card.

Life is good. Thank you Bitcoin.

Go Bitcoin go.

A ridiculously early good morning Bitcoinland. Sorry but 7:00AM is past my usual bedtime. Gawd I hate farmers' hours. Sitting at the airport waiting for my plane.

We seem to be continuing sideways... currently $5209USD/$7015CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Hopefully by the time I fly back up with my new teeth and lovely young girlfriend Bitcoin will be up over $6k. I'll have to buy some dollars when I get back. Taking down bucks I bought when Bitcoin was over $5.5k. This barely over $5k crap is bullshit.

Go Bitcoin go.

Alien technology is not by definition artificial. Nor is that created by chimps for that matter, so WO thread is also natural.

Everything is natural. If something exists it's natural.

Is it any more natural for a bee to make a honeycomb or a beaver to build a dam than for a human to make a nuclear reactor?

Good morning Bitcoinland. My last day in Toronto for a month.

Prices are pretty steady going sideways for now... currently $5274USD/$7106CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Luckily I bought greenbacks for my dentist before the price dipped a few days ago. Got almost $5.6kUSD per coin with 3% total exchange cost.

Hopefully prices will be up by the time I get back in June and have to buy some more fiat to pay down my credit card and meet June's expenses.

Go Bitcoin go.

Is Haiku Sunday still a thing?

Good day Bitcoinland,
Off to sunny Mexico
To get my new teeth.

My lovely girlfriend
Will be waiting for me there.
Oh thank you Bitcoin.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Back in Toronto after a week in Mexico City.

I see we're continuing upward... currently $5568USD/$7466CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Good thing because I have to start selling some Bitcoin starting today so I can start converting to USD to take down to Playa del Carmen on Monday to get my final teeth. Can't change more than $2kUSD at a time without showing ID so I'll be doing this all week. Gawd I hate snooping by nosy governments and other corporations.

My lovely Mexican GF is convalescing at her mother's place in Mex City after successful medical procedures and will fly down to meet me in Playa. Hopefully she'll be waiting for me at Cancun airport.

Go Bitcoin go.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

I see we've recovered a bit since the dip down under $5k... currently $5086USD/$6809CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

The battle for $5k rages on.

Bad new for the superstitious... I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to Mexico City.  

This wasn't planned. My lovely Mexican GF is having a medical emergency and is flying up to MC from Cancun this afternoon to see the far superior doctors in MC. I want to be waiting for her at the airport when she arrives to take care of her.

Hopefully we'll get her fixed within a week and I can fly back up for a week or so before flying back down to Cancun on April 29 for my final dental work.

If she had a passport I'd be bringing her with me. While we're in the big city maybe we can get her one.

Good news for the superstitious... I'll be flying back up in early June for the rainy season and will be in Canada until probably November after the hurricane season.

My first computer (games console) was a Commadore Amiga, 500 Plus.


Great little machine, years ahead of its time.

If Commodore hadn't bankrupted itself with an ill-advised foray into gaming consoles, the Apple Mackintosh would have withered on the vine.

The Amiga had it beat for graphics and sound and the PC ruled the business world.

What a loss.
2414  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 12, 2019, 04:14:26 PM
Probably better off just writing it down on a piece of paper...

Bingo!

Been saying it for years.

The only thing i believe from the media is the sport section atleast they can't manipulate the sport results.

Hear hear.

The mighty Floppy disk
The only mobile storage available back then.
Who had one/some?

Hell. I've even still got a USB FDD (floppy disk drive).
2417  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 12, 2019, 03:29:53 PM


My new Wallet !!!  Wink

It may be that many who read WO, have never seen it.

Floppy disk > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk
Better keep that thing well away from any magnets

You want a magnet-proof wallet?



Oops. I'm showing my age again.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Missed yesterday due to being crazy busy but I see we've recovered somewhat after the dip following the zany little bart a couple of days ago... currently $5099USD/$6795CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

The battle for $5k rages on.

Go Bitcoin go.

i will never own an alexa/google/amazon voice activated device, unless there is an actual physical switch to cut the mics out of circuit.

i didnt really understand fully the ramification till the other day when i was going over with my wife  how to recover my btc stack in case of my death. i was going to tell her the passphrase to my trezor (it would be written down also, this was just for discussion). but when i was going to tell the the passphrase i stopped. because while i dont own an alexa/google/amazon device, i do have a smartphone and smart watch, which have mics of course.

so here i am in my own house, wondering if anything i say might go out to servers that humans can access (humans review random snips of voice data).

wtf, my own home, which i have spent considerable time and money hardening both physical and electronic networks, is useless if the closed source algo that trigger sending data for no fully understood by the end user.

btw many modern tvs have mics and web cams built in now. and IoT stuff like security cameras, some of which have mics so you can use then for intercoms, are notoriously bad at security and most will never get updates.

so much the attach surfaces are pretty big.

now i dont assume my phone and watch and compromised, but with the amount of money i have in btc it would be foolish to at least consider these scenarios,

like any smartphone or laptop with a built in mic is powered off and put in another room when setting up wallet seed words. paranoia? sure but it is based on failings of the current tech used.

The only sure way is to unplug everything and remove the batteries.

Good AM Bitcoinland.

Still plowing along pretty much sideways but with a slight upward drift... currently $5266USD/$7020CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Go Bitcoin go. Let's see a new AYH (all year high).

2420  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 09, 2019, 03:40:51 PM
Good morning Bitcoinland.

It appears that we're pretty much where we were yesterday... currently $5227USD/$6950CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Isn't it just about time for another leg up?

I can't agree enough. What kind of sickness is it for people like roach, stolfi, jbreher, etc to come here and spout their non-stop garbage
I wouldn't bundle jbreher with stolfi. And The Roach is just on another plane of existence.

I agree. While all 3 may come across as trolls, they differ greatly.

Both Joe and Jorge have real working credentials.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebreher

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Stolfi

Jorge painted himself into a corner years ago with Bitcoin and stubbornly refuses to admit he was wrong.

Joe truly believes in Bitcoin but is simply a hard-core big blocker.

Roach, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any credentials. He gives the impression of being a frustrated, bigoted little man who probably lives in Mom's basement and soothes his feelings of inadequacy by consuming too many carbs.

There's no comparison.
