"Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time, and it annoys the pig." R. Heinlein, which is a paraphrase of
"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." George Bernard Shaw
Sorry, all I hear in the piece above is "oink, oink".

Maybe because it indicates that we are about to have a vast out-performance of btc over everything else despite the fact that it currently look relatively weak.
You seem to think that only bitcoin and dollar/euro exist in the world, but it ain't so and haven't been since about Jan 2017 when btc had >90% dominance.

I found that chart to be quite interesting as a potential trading strategy.
Besides, it is VERY bullish for btc, imho.

This scheme resembles the yin-yang balance and because we are now slowly approaching about 50-50, it is justified.
New balance (fluctuation) will probably be around 40-70% dominance, give or take 5%.

@Jimbo is an exception.

Most older men I knew did not last more than 10 years after retirement.
Of course, if you manage a ranch or a complex investment portfolio, it could be a different story.
Rolling Stones never retired (Keith and Mic are both 77). Not for the lack of funds, right?
Same for Paul. They do what they like-that is probably a solution.

For the regular schmucks: the question is what you are going to do-twiddle your thumbs at the beach of Turks and Caicos?
I know that most here are for straight and narrow (btc), but even just bitcoin with sidechains, ETFs, ETNs, futures, options, is getting very complex.
Still, people are always talking here about buy/sell as if it is the only thing available.
At some point-get a f-g advisor, maybe, and at least employ some legal tax-reducing strategy (yes, it would probably involve some borrowing against a part of your stash).

I have a better trade: went long filecoin on 10Xmargin using doge as a collateral.
BTFD & YOLO.

I find it funny that SEC declared Coinbase registration statement being effective on April 1 (today).
I did not realize that those bureaucrats have a sense of humor, or maybe it is their passive-aggressive ways.
Who knows.

Well, that would mean $8 tril for btc and gold $18 tril then.
Who knows, but it is quite possible, albeit I would have given btc a little bit more.
Short term, my "proprietory" spidery senses are tingling as we could be going for a breakout.

The problem with the stars is that they are currently unreachable.
Interestingly, such star purchase is described in the "Death end"-the 3rd book of the Liu Cixin trilogy.
The story auction (in the future) was 'official', but value relatively low because it was just a star.
Then, after it turned out....read the book  

re bitcoin vs dollar..there are many much weaker currencies that would probably be hit first, way before the dollar, see turkish lira, nigerian naira and argentinian peso.
Between just these three, it is 328 mil people, exactly the size of the whole US population.

I watched "Dark", but kind of get lost in the beginning of the last season (3)? Maybe I should finish it just for a sake of making ends meet.
I felt so sorry for one character there (Ullrich) that it was difficult to watch.

Whatever, dude or dudette, I am not selling you any or asking you to buy, but the overall dismissive attitude here is, frankly, bewildering to the n-th degree.
Reminds me of the attitude regarding bitcoin by the public at large several years ago.
Bitcoin developers/maintainers are making their own NFTs (on bitcoin side chain), yo.
EDIT: Correction. Although BMN (Blockstrem's mining thingie) is essentially an NFT, they choose to call it a Luxembourg investment contract (I guess because there are no NFT laws yet).

Debatable, since I don't know if there are 'real" collectors, but you can tokenize some property as in my Blockstream NFT example. That looks quite real..and on btc side chain.

I guess we will see about that.
What exactly the law say specifically about bitcoin or blockchain in general?
Almost nothing to nothing so far, which does not make bitcoin any less valuable.

What physical enforcement?
In a museum, we are relying on "experts" to tell us what is genuine, but even experts are fooled sometimes.
There are very sophisticated forgers in a physical world.

EDIT: btw, metadata IS part of the work itself, for sure, included in the NFT.

Well, I am able to enjoy Van Gogh painting in person OR as wall paper while understanding the difference.
When i look at the wall paper, i have some thoughts about the fate, the universe, etc.
When i am in front of the physical painting, I pay attention to the minutia of the artist's work and how it becomes 'alive' at the distance.
When you own something, it is different from looking at something.
For myself, I like to look more than own, but some like to collect.
If their NFT shows artist's digital signatue, is validated on a blockchain and is basically immortal (hopefully), then collector might be satisfied in feeling that his/her 'piece' is unique, there is only ONE and there always be only one.

EDIT: BTW, Blockstream is selling essentially a bitcoin mining NFT (BMN) representing 20000th/s (>= 200 S19 machines worth) of hashing power for about $275000 (£ 200000). You can redeem all mined btc from it in 3 years.
Only non-US investors qualify (that f-g Howey test is ruining everything for us). Could be a good value as you cannot get one S19 for $2750, not even close. The drawback is that you have to put down $275K in one go. You can then sell on a secondary market in smaller chunks (0.1 BMN). If you are not in US and have $275 thou 'laying around', it maybe something to look at.

You seem not to understand the idea of artistic ownership.
Maybe your painting is worth $10 or , say, $100, but Van Gogh's is worth $100 mil.
Go ahead, make those copies, then try to sell.
Unique pieces of art are valuable. NFT allows an artist to sign their creation, establishing the link between a piece and it's creator.
Most of the works are digital to begin with, they're not photos of actual paintings.
If the artist will make 10 more copies, his/her name would be tarnished and value of his/her works diminished.
A photo of Mona Lisa is not the same as Mona Lisa not any more or less than the copy of my public address is the indication of my bitcoin ownership.


Not sure what the confusion is with. There should be a description of what NFT entitles you to, like with ANY contract.
NFTs will allow for partial ownership of valuable real estate, that's for sure, after the concept goes through a couple of iterations.
I am not buying any art NFTs since I am not knowledgeable enough to know the value, but I did buy some Decentraland parcels several years ago just for funzies.
Those were the early NFTs. No big deal if it zeroes out, but I did it since "Snow crash" is one of my most favorite books and I thought that it would be fun to own some.

Bitcoin is a Veblen good.
the higher the price goes, the higher the demand goes
This is the first item i know of where regular 'schmucks' were able to partake before the typical "accredited" crowd.
We were 'allowed' in FB at the $120bil valuation.
Not here. In fact, I am looking at all this frenzy with some amusement.

It's a funny dynamic between those two.
I am sure that Spencer is right...and he would be getting daddy's funds...eventually.

Really?
I thought that "Inception" was pretty cool.

Is it ("Tenet") available on some streamer? Thanks.

Possible, but at some point all those numerical indicators would stop working as almost any other numerical indicators (NUPL, etc.).
The scenario of a local high in April, then down, then flat, then up in the Fall on the other hand is quite possible.
I have difficulty seeing us topping when we are going up a few % a day; it becomes much more possible, and even likely if we pop to 80-90K in a short time frame (like a week).
One possibility is clear: WS will push btc up when Coinbase listing date would be announced, then the day before, they would likely sell some btc and buy COIN the following day.
Some volatility is to expected there.

you probably meant ahead?

That said..US has quirks...right now, Texas , for example, opened up for anybody over 16....and there are NO slots available for taking, at least in Houston, seemingly.
What's the point? When they limited to over 65, then 50, there were always places where you could get it.
Now-zero. They should have continued the age-slicing, even going by 2 wk or so-50 to 40 to 30, then to over 16, then everybody.
