Observing @ $35,000
Bought a shovel full of dust at $34.801 Go, go, goooo  Joe, get it on with the Bitcoiners and slap Yellen on her forehead with a bundle of worthless dollar notes  New POTUS installed. The USA didn't collapse. Onward to $50k ASAP pls.

Brother why to look for 2nd of February?? Whats happening? The only thing I know is that my GF has her Bday the 2nd of February and i'm not going to sell any coins and certainly no big amounts for the event...
I quoted the relevant paragraph: The next major unlocking is set to happen around February 3, 2021. Meaning the time period beforehand will be void of unlockings.
This void enables the market to cool down. That’s what we’re currently witnessing the week of January 11th.
If you are scared for February 2, then brace yourself for more to come:  SourceCan you see how February compares to June? or July? February end of lock period is related to buys in July. This is NOTHING compared to the buys in Q4 this year, as you can see, that will result in endo of Q2 end of locks. Not scared in any way, but more the opposite  |

Looks like this drop may be tied to ETH related shenanigans. Just saw some ETH quarterly shorts getting rekt come across my timeline.
Looks like that to me too, but only in some recent parts of the charts. It's more sideways anyway, when i zoom it away. But many of "promising" alts are falling in price too, so i am thinking more in direction of people generally holding back their investments before the president elect is in effect. Don't get me wrong, i love art, even if 101% gay, but i don't want to be the one triggering you to post a non censored hardcore gay anime pic  |

The thing is, traditional watches are functional jewelry. Every digital watch comes off like a modern toy in comparison.
Never saw a digi watch that did fit to an elegant suit, they always look cheap somehow.
But this thing is a monster, purely for attraction (and obscurity?)
Nothing beats a classic Rolex imho, but you need big hands as well to make em look really good.
Agreed. Pocket watches are always the best, but if you need an amazing wristwatch I would recommend a Hamilton 505 Ventura or even the Pacer. Futuristic in 1961, futuristic in 2021 (holy crap, it's been 60 years) You read this article about Grayscale today? It was linked two or three pages back. (Spoiler: look out for the 2nd of Feb and the days after.) Hope you're wrong because of DCA-dipping no more possible at around $36k? EDIT: Here it is, for your convenience. Very bullish read, that is. Brother why to look for 2nd of February?? Whats happening?

Had some powder left on Gemini that I can't move yet, but can trade with. Placed orders @ $34,500 all the way down to $30,500.
Seems the Yellen announcement has some people spooked.
Imho just another pro-regulatory voice, nothing more. The title of the video is irritating, though. |

boo-hoo regarding 'hating on' Apple.
I use it as well as windows, linux, android.
Basically, I could care less, but iOS spies on you a little less than Android or so it seems.
5-6 year old iphone (like 6s) still has a bit of residual value while my more recent Android phone has none (or something so small as to not being worth selling or trading in).
I liked it for my uses. They just went a different way down the roads of development and design. Each OS has its positives and negatives, but apples policies got worse too over the years. I also had access to a one-man service company (not certified), cool nerdy guy, but chain smoking and always stressed out. Got cancer and quit the business. He was like "tell me which software you need, no matter how much, just give me ten bucks for the dvd's" |

On top of that, i loved *pple for the quality of their products and stable operating systems.
This changed 2015-ish a lot, after which i decided to move back to windoze again. didn't regret it, apart from some delicate pieces of VST(i) plugins, of which no windows ports were available. The fact that ableton live runs on both system made the decision easier as well (originally came from cubase on x86).
I never loved Apple because of the walled garden attitude, long before they became a fashion brand. The stability of the OS is greatly helped by their all in-house hardware. Windoze, while being far from perfect, works whatever you throw at it. And they really care for backwards compatibility. This I really like. Apple's approach to backwards compatibility is "Well dear, you're still using THAT? It's from 2020, you penniless bum!" BTW, which VST(i)s have you found hard to replace? I felt a similar pain when they bought out CamelAudio and gardenwalled Alchemy, which used to be my favorite softsynth. I started out with the white polycarbonat macbook, 2007/8 or so. I needed something portable, light, long running and without bottom vents. Only apple delivered. The rest is history. Until macOS became real shitty, the binding to the appstore became really annoying and more and more VSTi where brought out in 64bit and DAW software too, while some old 32bit plugins became impossible to run. So i found jBridge and continued using windows 10. Apart from that i had a workstation i7 with universal audio dsp cards, running windows7 pro (and later 10), while the macbook was my roadwarrior scratchpad. Later it became a macbook pro (because antiglare display) which partly died and then a newer one. When they brought out that ledstrip macbooks, i knew it was the right decision to ditch apple, which was also confirmed by various issues with them. It was a good experience, but they fucked up. Additionally, Acer brought out a series of laptops with no bottom vents, very macbook-air alike. So i went down the windows route on mobile computing again. Didn't regret it either (yet). Never even thought about an iPhone, ever. But i had a first gen ipod touch for testing apps from a befriended mobile game developer. To address your question: I don't remember which osx VST(i) i was missing on windows, though. And yes, *pple forces the customers to upgrade. Windows does too, but not as aggressively and we all know about ios major version updates running intentionally slower on older devices. At this stage i had already turned my back to them. Today they're more like a fashion label. Like Beats (which they bought, afair) headphones. They are fancy, but low quality and uncomparable to most AKG or Beyerdynamic DT models. Before you read it elsewhere. Fasten your seatbelts guys. On January 18 Grayscale added 16,244 BTC to their Bitcoin fund!  More than 600,000,000 inflows on a single day. Highest BTC inflow ever. Highest USD inflow ever. More info here, on my GBTC Observer thread. Any info on others besides GrayScale piling into BTC? I mean what if they decide to 'slack off' and slow down purchases now due to the 'caution' of a pullback and wait for the pullback to buy again? Is there enough PayPal and other Traditional Investors now in play, to at 'least' keep the price sideways? Or are we looking at the usual 'Bitcoin you merciless bitch' ..plain old 50% pullback...brief or otherwise? Thanks, just wondering if the current BTC price is a 1 trick pony with GrayScale hype/FOMO mostly. Brad Edit: You 'hang around' WO Bitcointalk Thread enough and info will eventually fall from the sky...anyway...link to some of my questions in article below. https://medium.com/coinmonks/grayscale-trust-and-the-effect-on-crypto-prices-3bbd49d6fcb7They seem to be some brilliant bastards. Everyone is winning. Them, their premium customers, the retailers (at least), the bitcoin market and the hodlers. It's like an inside game. Why would they stop it as long as it's working? |

So...whenever Bitcoin goes from a long, multi-year bear market to start of a new bull run, the MSM pounces to immediately say Bitcoin "is in a bubble".
Every. Single. Time.
Any long time OG Bitcoiners notice the pattern?
I guess the only two binary states that Bitcoin can be in is either "dead" or "bubble". Nothing in between.
and complain about 'volatility'. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Bubble. |

WRT personal technology, the masses' rationality makes zero sense. Spending $1000 on a laptop, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather. Masses: What a huge waste of your money! Spending $1000 on a smartphone, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather. Masses: This is the way! Great use of your money!  Laptops are not shown around on the streets and in bars as status symbols. This, apple went from a tech company to a fashion brand a while ago On top of that, i loved *pple for the quality of their products and stable operating systems. This changed 2015-ish a lot, after which i decided to move back to windoze again. didn't regret it, apart from some delicate pieces of VST(i) plugins, of which no windows ports were available.

Well, according to some bigger image it's a pyramid game, or even outright scam. Today one of my brothers in law (not the nocoiner that regretted not to buy at $400, a different one) phoned me up and started with the words "i got $70 worth of TRX...". Short version of my answer: "Buy bitcoin and hodl." |

Got a really bad feeling about tomorrow.
Gut is telling me we're going to see a massive pump above $50k within 72 hours.
Hope I'm wrong.

nice, but what time is it? Can you make calls, play games, or check Bitcoin prices with it? I'm not 100% in favor for this watch but still I do love traditional watches more over sports watches or apple watches or whatever ... The thing is, traditional watches are functional jewelry.

This is bullish, thanks for this find! nice, but what time is it? This is bullshit, thanks for this find! nice, but what time is it? Can you make calls, play games, or check Bitcoin prices with it? No, but you have to take it off to be able to undress. This watch is BIG, like a Faberge Egg for wrists. Other fuckinrich people spend a million on wealth. To each his own... |

Reasoned piece in NYM: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/2021/01/why-is-bitcoin-making-new-all-time-highs.html?__twitter_impression=trueKey quotes: The entrepreneurs working to make cryptocurrency easier to acquire, hold, and transact with have been working diligently to improve this financial plumbing in anticipation of a full-scale monetization event. Today, it seems that this moment may be upon us.
The first time, your interest may be piqued, but you are wary of buying into something that looks like a bubble. The second time, you realize that what you mistook for a bubble was in fact a cyclical process in a longer-term trend.
Personally, I think the story is far from done and that this revolutionary digital asset still has a long way to run.
Good stuff. Don’t sell cheap Can't wait to read the MSM headlines 20 years from now:
"Bitcoin still in a 30 year bubble that's about to burst""Bitcoin plunges 20% to just under $3,000,000 within minutes, now in a bear market""Peter Schiff says Bitcoin going to zero, buy gold""Ethereum 4.0 today over $2.000! New ATH!" |

Bean counters at Boeing got away with a $2.5B slap on the wrist for the 737 MAC debacle. Cost of doing business.
And I'd be willing to bet the scumbag that made that decision got a golden parachute and that is why this keeps happening. those running things never have to pay the piper, all the rest of us do. The current and former employees, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigations, said that after the first crash, they were stunned to discover MCAS relied on a single sensor.
“That’s nuts,” said an engineer who helped design MCAS.
“I’m shocked,” said a safety analyst who scrutinized it.
“To me, it seems like somebody didn’t understand what they were doing,” said an engineer who assessed the system’s sensors. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/01/business/boeing-737-max-crash.htmlYou can bypass the paywall with ublock origin addon. There were more than one instance/people at various design and implementation stages that would have become aware of that. Seems like management or whoever suppressed critical thinking on relying on a single sensor for MCAS. Also, in extreme test routines the problem would have already appeared in the simulator. Boeing looking like amateurs now. |

Who coined the "pump for ants" phrase? Was it Bob?
This is so cool.
Yes, i think so. I didn't find the original post, but afair he posted a message in colored caps (purple or blue), big font size over two lines: WHAT IS THIS?
A PUMP FOR ANTS?
several months ago. I can remember it quite clear because it was a "visual" kind of post. |

buying 0.007 BTC ($250) seems a bit strange...
I'm a gay dude sent here from Planet Anus, to make everyone on Planet Earth homosexual, ushering in the Age of Aquarius. How DARE YOU talk to me about strange. If I had your corn I wouldn't mind being a degerate, filthy, COVID-infected gay (can I be Bi?), rusty pipe included. Yes, I admit it, I'm a BTC whore, I'd do anything for corn. rusty pipe for corn? i had to read it twice, man. looks like an offer. Bitcoin sleepy is usually good.
You can't wake it up if it isn't sleeping  |

So, today, I did some degenerate sat stacking. Feelin' pretty decent. Looks like I'm gonna get filled @ $35,000 soon, at this rate. Orders placed all the way down to $33k. 01/16/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $35,500.00 USD 0.00704225 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
01/16/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $36,000.00 USD 0.00694444 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
01/16/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $36,500.00 USD 0.00684931 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
01/15/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $35,500.00 USD 0.00704225 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
01/15/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $36,000.00 USD 0.00694444 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
01/15/2021 XX:XX:XX BTCUSD Buy Limit $36,500.00 USD 0.00684931 BTC $250.00 USD Filled
Lots of deja vu doing this stuff. Don't like hitting targets more than 3x Bob, it's good that you're stacking sats, actually I should be doing the same, it's just that I can't be bothered with the whole process of wiring the fiat and waiting for it to arrive at the exchange, etc., etc. I wonder though. With so many coins you have (in the big hundreds or more, I'm sure), what's the point of buying $250 worth of BTC? Is this just for fun/entertainment purposes? Because, even when Bitcoin goes 10x (and it will), your $250 (or $1250) will become $2500 ($12,500). Just peanuts compared to the coins you have.Not trying to criticize you or anything, just to get your point of view. Why not buy $100,000 (or more) worth of BTC straight away right now? I believe you must have that kind of fiat. That would be a move that would fit your stash and wealth level. $250 is just dust for you, isn't it? On the other hand, "every little helps", and maybe we should all be doing that, no matter how large or small the amount. In fact, your post is seriously tempting me to wire a few $$$$ to buy more corn... Sorry for getting a little personal, just being curious... You're underestimating Bawb... or not following closely enough. He's been DCAing for quite a time already and don't let these tiny $250 buys confuse you. For example $250 x10 is $2500 and according to your calculations above if (when) BTC goes 10x $2500 will be $25000 which is not quite peanuts anymore. I wasn't counting but I guess Bawb bought much more than $250 x10 this time. Yes, I see your point, but it's all relative. When his $250 x10 = $2500 becomes $25,000, his stash could be worth several hundred million dollars. What's $25,000 compared to that? In any case, I do believe we should convert any spare fiat we have to BTC, however small it may be. It's just that, when one has hundreds or thousands of BTC, buying 0.007 BTC ($250) seems a bit strange... My two cents on this: What is the purpose of "play money" when you don't play with it? EDIT: That DCA game even has some potential for a bitcointalk game as well: Bawb may give out a lil price in BTC to the winner who is guessing the future date when his strategy buys him at least one whole Bitcoin. But i doubt he would, because of OpSec? Anyway, the idea is nice, i think. |
