i also have lived with no bank account for a few years (finical irresponsibility on my part 100%). and it does suck indeed. so much you have no access to, and things like having to race to the bank on which the check was drawn before it closes (hourly bank hours designed so working stiffs have a hard time accessing it unless taking time out of the work day specifically for that, hard to do depending on the jobsite and if someone can cover you) to turn into cash on as you have to go to that bank that it was drawn on.. and if you didnt make it in time while they were open... raman noodles? i wish. i might not even have gas to get home to eat that..

i could go on and on to argue that a bank account is practically 100% needed to operate in this world (my part anyway). and of course its a GREAT tool to keep people in debt. it sure held me down pretty well, but thats on me.

interestingly enough, it was bitcoin that taught me about sound money, central banks etc. of course i have bank accounts now and all the stuff associated with it. no real choice here. but i also have bitcoin now. gamechanger.

i suppose in some ways you need to be poor and unbanked to understand and i have been. being poor, on a scale of 1-10,  is maybe a 3. educational, but not fun. prefer not to be there again.

well if it were an actor/actress endorsing it thats almost a huge red flag. after all an actors and actresses job depends on lying convincingly enough to believe their performance.

brains has very little to do with that.

so in general celebrity status (sports, film, TV) means zip to me.

now, if respected institutions of higher learning start pushing it, as in USING it there. that i will pay attention to.

same here. jbreher, congrats on whatever coins, whatever you have.. btc, bch, bsv, bshit, whaever. and especially whatever profit. if an informed person takes risks, a person deserves the reward.. and also the rekkt, if thats the outcome.

jbreher is informed enough about the various pros/cons of what he holds that he can make it (most likely). unfortunately not all have enough understanding to make an informed choice.

TLDR; jbeher is no dummy and his system works for him. of course what works for him could very well REKKT others. so DYOR

i gotcha

except that must suck when you think its full of ammo and its got more or less useless silver instead. unless youre defending against werewolves and such?

or the rounds are delivery vehicles for Au. hmmm. new way to transport silver... via ballistic trajectory to the destination. well near it anyway.

and thats if we had any corn. which we dont, of course.

freakin boats *sigh*

shoulda bought a plane.

bob sorry im of no help in this, just wanted to comment ive dropped my Z1 (3 drive raid 5) arrays and switched to either Z2 (5+ drives any 2 can fail) for important stuff or straight up mirrors for less important. i love mirrors cuz you can read the remaining drive on most anything.

best of luck, im lurking as i hope to learn something here too.

btw talking about zfs files system on my nas. for desktops i always mirror.

i was busy last night and it took me a bit to find the paper wallet i had some split out bsv on. so i didnt dump it till this morning. was good enough for me though. i dont need the exact top, anywhere in the ballpark is fine by me.

CSW testing his algos?

SUPPERTIME!

daytrading

FINALLY. an explanation of TA that i can understand.

but, but how to you keep track of what lies youre telling here? print a post then keep it filed away?

oh wait

i accidentally plugged my trezor into a 220 volt outlet. the resulting sparks destroyed the trezor and burned the paper i had my seed written on.

bummer

and some, both. anyone that has been in the crypto space for a while has probably lost some due to errors, exchanges, pools, scams. the ways to lose btc are vast.

yup. most of us WOs are the unluckiest people on earth.

i have several bitcoin tshirts i used to wear in public. got some thumbs up and "nice tshirt" comments from people ranging from a door greeter at costco to my one of my MDs. but that was years ago, and i rarely wear them in public now.

sucks really. we are supposed to be supporting btc any way we can, not be afraid of mentioning it.

i like that he has a segwit donation address in his profile. great way to show his faith in bsv.

hey at one point or another i have misplaced all of those. well, except the testicles, those are kept by my wife. but she does let me use them on occasion.

i think hes at the 25 earned merits now (just threw him some)
