I was actually thinking about, and mentioned to Elwar, about sending him my resume, to work on that ship and keep it running no matter what it takes, cause that’s what I do..
I can understand complex systems and scramble at the drop of a hat to keep it going, such as keeping that ship from sinking or floating dead in the water.. I make shit happen..
But I guess not..

I am not very good in the digital realm when it comes to software and cryptocurrency stuff, but I am a beast in the physical realm..

Hmm, why not sending him your resume, no matter what.
If he needs someone with your skills, who is not just a name on a payroll, but a bitcointalk collegue, he would happily contact you, i think.

EDIT: What i (try to) teach my kids is that if they ever have to decide to take an opportunity, they should absolutely take it if they only remotely think they might bite their asses later for not having taken it. (is that even half correct english?)

starting the corrected parabola to $100k+ finally in Q4/2022.




Uhmm, yeah so $100k++
Is that OK now?  Grin

(There's actually a lot in a +. in fact infinity minus 100.000 in this case)
2743  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 20, 2020, 09:14:21 PM
Well, Well, Well this has been a good run, I wonder what is going to be this runs top, I am still feeling a top around 40k.

This is complete speculation, fully pulled out of my ass.

I hope you don't mean that $40k will be a blowoff top and we'll return to bear market?  Grin

I could live with a local top, weakhand billionaires dropping it to $30k in Q1/2022 and starting the corrected parabola to $100k+ finally in Q4/2022.

I don’t have a lot of coins so I really need $100k+ for it to matter in a life changing way..

I’m pretty comfy being poor though.. Have been poor all my life..
I am very self sufficient so I can do, enjoy, and have a lot while spending very little..
I don’t need as much $$ because I don’t need to hire everyone else to do things for me.. I can do most everything on my own..

My dream is to have a long vacation in a sailboat around the world..
I don’t need a massive expensive boat and can do all the maintenance work myself.. So like $50k for a boat buy/maintenance budget and basically money for food/expenses to last atleast a few years..
If god is kind he will smite me down in a hurricane before I run out of food money so I never have to go back to the rat race..

Frequently poor people (relatively speaking) will have systems that they are able to live on less, but even if you have figured out some of these system, like you seem to suggest, you don't want to end up overextending yourself because you go on some kind of an extravagance that you cannot afford... so as I recall, you are not exactly very old, so if you do not rush things, and you already know about bitcoin, just keep accumulating bitcoin and let the matter play out for another cycle or two before you go on some kind of premature spending spree.  No need to attempt to rush a possible transition from poor to rich by prematurely spending the value that could actually transition you out of poor boy status.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  You might thank me later.   Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue

I'd even suggest eddie to try for hiring on a small boat as a sailor/seaman, if possible. this way he can set sails and additionally make money to invest into moar corn.
Then go for an own boat after the next bullrun (2025/26).

These are the latest covid headlines.

I just wanna add my concern to other people here, i can stop if people are not pleased by it.

nope.
thanks for sharing, i just gave my 2 cents, you know.


There is a possibility that this virus is also in germany. Maybe this also explains the higher infection rate. But it's only a guess. We won't know for sure. But one think is clear. It will arrive other countries even with the air travel ban.

So far it hasn't been sequenced in germany. Read Drosten's titter. He's THE expert, always rational, highly competent.
2748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 20, 2020, 07:49:22 PM
Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Czechia, France, Ireland, Austria and Germany suspending flights and train arrivals from England.

Countries responding fast. Kuwait, Isreal, Bulgaria, Sweden, Romania, Luxembourg also banning flights from the UK.

Border closed for UK travelers entering Belgium for 24 hours while deciding what to do.

Mutated virus also discovered in The Netherlands, South-Africa, Italy and Denmark.

Stay save.



Completely over-exaggerated.
It would be easy to test for sars.cov2 at (a safe) check-in. On destination airports: No test? Quarantine for 10 days.
Banning flights is way more expensive.
When you vote for idiots, these are the results.

Elon Musk tweet discussion  Grin



How such a progressive, futuristic person such as Elon Musk could *not yet* be onboard with Bitcoin treasuries full tilt is completely beyond me.

I could say the same for such companies as Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.

Methinks that powerful people have kept them dissuaded for years now.

the epicness of that twitter conversation is hard to grasp. them billionaires are coming.

consider, every bitcoiner is still an early bird in the history of BTC.
Normal people don't grasp this, they finally will when it's too late, as always.
Remembering you of my brother in law, hwo said he should have got in when btc was $400, but now it's no more worth it. When i offered him to pay him with bitcoin (@ $9k) he refused, throwing that narrative out again and adding that BTC will never ever go over $10k again. He will say such things at $50k, at $100k and probably at $1m as well.
Elon can make this decision within days or weeks. What a great sunrise  Cool

This guy happily and smilingly said it months ago -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELP2EFVOOYc

People still believe this is a natural virus lol... And of course blame the protesters... Fucking idiots! You love to be locked like an animal for years right? Its all just a huge hoax to sell Bills vaccine and make his vision come true. Genocide by vaccination... He said it in 2010 "500.000.000 humans on this planet are enough".

I still believe Covid-19 is a Chinese lab made virus, released to weaken/wreck the U.S economy so they can push their agenda to take over to be number 1.

maybe the truth is in between? they tweaked SARS-CoV to get a more contagious SARS-CoV-2?

maybe it was an accident to release it?

so WHO has still no access to Wuhan. WTF is China for an country?

Nah. Why should they "tweak" a virus? (which is technically hard to achieve, with absolutely not calculable results, delivering an astronomically bad risk-reward ratio).
Sars-Cov2 was found in blood samples from march 2019 in italy, the wuhan outbreak was octobre 2019 (iirc). Does not compute.
Afaik some US scientists team was allowed for research in wuhan (heard it on the radio while driving, may have been a WHO team as well).

We welcome beliefs that seem to fit our mindset, be careful which information you trust, it probably tells more about yourself than anything else. You can use this for introspection, on the other hand.

A fast spreading strain of Covid-19 has emerged in England, this mutation is 70% more transmissible.

London and South East in tier 4 lockdown.

Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Czechia, France, Ireland, Austria and Germany suspending flights and train arrivals from England.

This is not looking good, fingers crossed if it does not effect vaccine effectioness.

 The natives are too restless!  There are too many damn protests in London!
 
 Release the new strain.

According to the Universitie's of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, Imperial College London, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cardiff University and MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, this new strain is real. Undecided

Fck those protesters they should be locked up until this is over.

Quote
Conclusion: We report a rapidly growing lineage in the UK associated with an unexpectedly large number of genetic changes including in the receptor-binding domain and associated with the furin cleavage site. Given (i) the experimentally-predicted and plausible phenotypic consequences of some of these mutations, (ii) their unknown effects when present in combination, and (iii) the high growth rate of B.1.1.7 in the UK, this novel lineage requires urgent laboratory characterisation and enhanced genomic surveillance worldwide.

https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisation-of-an-emergent-sars-cov-2-lineage-in-the-uk-defined-by-a-novel-set-of-spike-mutations/563

Not the best news. The idea that mutation happens in chronically infected individuals has to be proven first, but apart of that, vaccines should continue to work, but certain medication may not or less effective.
Interesting that patients were given plasma. In our national hospitals they are all symptom treated, so immune system has to fight the infection all by itself. That's why 5-10% of hospitalized patients end up on an ICU.
Combine that with a rapidly spreading virus.  Undecided

So it seems it's mass vaccination as our only vital choice at the time. Safe vaccines will be out by fall 2021, until then we have to use the heavy marketed new-age vaccines, most of them don't block transmission, only weaken covid19 severity by initiating an immune reaction, which makes the virus genome "known" to the immune system.
Tradeoff detected.

If god is kind he will smite me down in a hurricane before I run out of food money so I never have to go back to the rat race..

I also don't have the many bitcoins to substantially change my life @$100k, but i don't care. Here's why:
See, i don't even want to get filthy rich with my few bitcoins, it's enough for me if a fraction of it buy me a new van.
The main part of my "stash" is being fully invested into the next great project: The future of my kids.
Each of them gets an equal share in the future. Not in the form of fiat, the will get a paper wallet.
If only one of the four will probably get filthy rich by the help of these coins, i will be more than just satisfied.
Most richies only buy things. Things can't make you happy. If you know you have bought a few coins at the low price your kids will never have a chance to see again, and that you were giving your fiat to compensate this for them, my friend, i can tell you it already makes me happy today, at only a tad below $24k!
Life is more about what you are able to give, not what you may or may not get, imo.

Guess what makes you more happy...

Look at Bawb (and Rick).

Use your corn to give, not to take. The only way to make you happy.

Getting close to thinking of taking a little profit in the form of 100 acres of prime forested property with 1500 feet of lake frontage, ten minutes from a major hospital and about an hour and a half from downtown Toronto. Under 23 bitcoins at current prices.



Thank you Bitcoin.

Do it!
Peace and serenity now is more important than pie in the sky, especially when we are not there (in the future).

Now is actually months away. This is just the land. I'd still have to build a house,

Personally I wouldn't trust any builder that's not approaching retirement age. Brick layer training used to take 7 years. Now it's three months. I've seen too many people suffering from new build badly build houses to trust anyone young.

We cannot print them, still  Grin ?
Around here they build houses using OSP wood.
When I first saw it, I was horrified, but, apparently, they are OK for at least 50 years (if no grade 4-5 hurricanes).
Will not stand for hundreds, most likely.

How old are the builders building them? Experienced 50/60 year olds, or 16 year old dickheads? How do you know how old the builders were when you view it? The salesman's never going to admit it was built by dickheads.

Living in such a house, i can't stress enough that experience of the builders defines quality, as suggested by you.
What you want is a type3 or type4 OSP inside (as vapor barrier) and high dense, breathable, soft fiberboard outside, to support diffusion. mount a windshield foil over that (to keep moisture from outside off the fiberboard) and apply a ventilated facework upon it. This is how you keep the walls healthy for ages.

At the end of 2017 pump and we had $1k to $2k daily green candles, while in the last few days we had $1k to $1.5k (roughly) green daily candles.

By the end of 2021 we should have $10k-$20k daily green candles.



this.



 Cool


Yes. I can not even imagine right now how excited i will feel, observing these candles.
Especially if $1k-$2k daily pumps keep me totally satisfied, for now.
2755  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 19, 2020, 06:06:00 PM
Rofl, insane day !

But remember:

Quote
What goes up...

...might not stop.

HB, lightfoot!

EDIT: GOING AGAIN!
Really crazy. Even more than 2017 right before the dump.

That is way the fuck NOT true OOM.  We are not even close to late 2017 levels of bitcoin rise.   We may be somewhere in the territory of early 2017 or even May and June 2017 kinds of rises...  Perhaps?

You should know better than that OOM, especially for being active in this thread for a couple of years... (even though your date of registration shows less than 1 year).

Brrrr... please hold it, pal.
First, i did apologize a few posts later (exact memory is my main problem). You might have read it after you commented my answer to Wekkel Wexlike (EDITED: see? memory).
Second, i just looked up Bitstamp on cryptowatch. At the end of 2017 pump and we had $1k to $2k daily green candles, while in the last few days we had $1k to $1.5k (roughly) green daily candles. That's the kind of rise i was talking about, not the steepness of the parabola. I know the difference, i just didn't express it in a clear way.
But i remembered, or thought to remember, were around $1k daily rises at the end of 2017 before the bears took over. (EDIT: At the time of the original post) I know, in terms of parabola, we're nowhere near the end of 2017, but the $1k+ (EDIT: daily) rises reminded me a lot of that time.

EDIT: Sorry for editing this thing to near death.

Observing new ATH with relatively low volume.

Also, observing not many large sell walls before $25k

Also... running out of champagne.
#2020BitcoinProblems

*Edit Also, observing JJG in full keyboard warrior mode.

These sell walls are adjusted by bots faster than you can say "bot".

This isn't even close to JJG's full keyboard warrior mode  Cheesy

So what you are saying is it could go either way?

I'm bullish, but yes.

EDIT:
Still, a triangle. Volume low. If nobody takes this opportunity, a little dip is absolutely within valid options.

If only Notlambchop could see us now
Online two days ago. I remember he was quite active in the past. He didn't possibly mindrust out, did he?

EDIT: So we had two $23k tests so far, and it seems to be tested again, but with much shorter delay, while we were above $23k on Stamp for about the same duration in both tests.

Also, the drop was mere and with low volume. Time to kick some bearish balls.
2759  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 18, 2020, 10:51:26 PM
$23k one more test, c'mon.

Institutions must believe all the fud..
They are just now finally getting in?

Much of the fud has come from institutions warning people away from BTC for years..

I'd say they did (believe all the fud). If they still do, they still wouldn't be in.
How did you experience your first years of bitcoin fud?
2760  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 18, 2020, 09:59:32 PM
There must be some stubborn shorters out there...
But as long as the green candles get longer than the red ones, it's fine.
