Nice to see some voices of reason today in this world of total madness. The founder of Greenpeace, the legendary environmental fighter Patrick Moore speaks out and calls the hypothesis about human caused environmental changes the "biggest bluff in history". https://www.breitbart.com/radio/2019/03/07/greenpeace-founder-global-warming-hoax-pushed-corrupt-scientists-hooked-government-grants/And TitaniaMcGrath is publishing a book. For you who don't know who that is, it's a 40 year old man with a twitter account that makes fun of the leftist snowflakes by pretending to be the most leftist political correct snowflake ever with tweets like: "it is hugely problematic to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by eating vagina cakes. If I was a fat woman with a penis I’d be feeling pretty annoyed right now." And "You’ll notice there’s not a single obese player in the England football team. This kind of discrimination is precisely why the fat acceptance movement is so essential." And "If you only have sex with people you find attractive, you might want to ask yourself why you’re such a superficial bigot." https://twitter.com/TitaniaMcGrath?lang=sv |

20 years of price changes in the United States...
Notice how government subsidized industries are the most expensive? 😮
College tuition in Belgium Tuition fees at public universities and colleges in the French Community of Belgium are set by the regional government. For the academic year 2015/2016, tuition fees ranged from 374 to 836.96 EUR per year for EU students depending on their income and whether they are eligible for a grant/scholarship. There are other reasons. Don’t blame it on government subsidies I'm in Europe and University has gone to shit here. The Bachelor/Master system is a complete downgrade and utter disgrace from what we had before in a country undisclosed. University is now school round two instead of being an institution that fosters research and critical thinking (in non-research students - which make up the majority of the student body). I was appalled at how cookie cutter Mathematics and Physics programs are and surprised at the resulting quality of graduates (before I realized the problem). Also, thanks to university "being" (appearing) free, people who can't normally afford it are taking up bullshit recreational courses that don't produce any value in the Economy. I don't have anything against those and am interested in some of the topics myself. But when people get fooled into believing that they can study anything and get a job there's a problem. And when it's "free" they are ridden of any incentive to think about the implications of their actions. I totally agree with you, especially regarding the The Bachelor/Master system. But I also think that the government more or less pushing everybody in to university studies is to blame, it's become more like high school than university, with some exceptions.,When I studied in the late 80s early 90s it was still a bit special to study at a university, today it seems more or less mandatory. The last point is also quite interesting. It really does seem as if a degree was mandatory. But in reality, any self-driven and somewhat disciplined person would be able to learn much more by just not going to university and focusing on their profession of choice. University takes up too much time on mundane repetitive nonsense that doesn't teach you anything of value and takes time away from building a portfolio of work, while simultaneously driving most students into just blatantly copying assignments without learning anything. When I was teaching I had to give classes and correct assignments, and 70% of them were identical (including spelling and grammatical errors). As a job it was nice, because I'd have one pile of assignments where I marked the first one and then only copied off the final points, without any notes. That resulted in an hourly wage of over 60 Euros. But when thinking about the implications for society that's just sad. Which doesn't mean that University (even in it's current state) has no place at all, as anyone who needs someone or something to kick their asses to be productive can still benefit from them. But in most cases they just exacerbate the underlying problem that starts in elementary school. Namely turning curious and motivated kids into retarded unmotivated copy/paste drones. Seems like being a teacher at American universities isn't very lucrative (this guy is also my favorite you tuber). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7lGCPX_8nc |

There isn't enough bitcoin for all of today's millionaires to own an entire bitcoin each. We won't call them millionaires anymore though, they will be known as "wholecoiners". This may be the last chance for the average person to acquire a full bitcoin and that title. https://twitter.com/alecziupsnys/status/1102908165719506947?s=21Nice! And "multicoiners" if double digits.  Ahh, even more paraphernalia. |

A 'wholecoiner' has been coined as a term. I see a coming plethora of paraphernalia on Zazzle |

So I have been thinking, I have some play money on a phone I don't use, some 400 USD worth of bitcoin.
I'm thinking about converting them to litecoins and hope for a halving spike.
I gotta do something, this sideways is just too boring, I need at least some of the kicks you get when the price goes up.
 Not condoning it but if he thinks it’ll pump so he can increase his bitcoin stash then why not. JJG, you do know that I have you on ignore don't you? I only see your posts if someone else quotes them. Yeah I was thinking about it as an experiment just to see if I at the end of the experiment will have more or less bitcoin than before. Sometimes I think JJG is a bot or some kind of AI. I hope he is a human, and I hope he comes to the 100k party so I can punch him in the face. |

I get horrified and scared any time I see you guys talking about $100K or even $30K as if it was a SURE thing. What kind of capitulation is this?
After seeing the light I stopped capitulating. I will never capitulate again, unless of course, I'm wrong. |

Next bull run ends between 100k - 300k....  Yes. totally agree, and the new bottom will be 30 000 ish. My plan is to keep accumulating till the next top and then sell all in increments starting at 100 000 and ending at 300 000 or when I think the top is in, Put that money in a high interest savings account and then buy back after 13-15 months, when the new bottom has formed. Then rinse and repeat. |

Variants of Satoshi's logos, which were presented on Reddit. Which one do you like better?  Since the Latin S is already taken by the US Dollar, I would suggest the runic equivalent ᛋ (Sowilo, sun) with one of those thingis crossing it. Something like this ᛋ . Doesn't look good here, I know, but maybe someone with actual computer skills could make it more presentable. |

Hello again guys. First I want to than all of you who congratulated me on my birthday, I really don't have the stamina nor the time to go back and check each one of you right now, so I thank you all this way. I would also like to thank everybody who wished I would get better. I am much better now, a harsh dose of cortisone broke the relapse it seems, I'm not back to normal, but a lot better then two days ago. I would also like to return the birthday hat, I'm sorry Homer, but it seems like it gave me bad luck.  < image of birthday hat that I don't know how to put here. Bad luck? Are you sure? The hat works in mysterious wsys; it may have been a blessing in disguise. Oh, I'm sure. |

If this isn't a bull trap on the minute scale MAs we're probably going back to 4xxx for a bit at least. The next 21 hours are critical etc.
Edit: Happy birthday Arrie.
Thank you. |

Fuck today I found out I managed myself out of a job. Bummer. Still the team I established and organised will go on to great things. Some tough irony in how much I have fought to keep that together. No problem, I go back into the resource pool, lots of demand for this old looser.  lol they let you go?? F*** how is that possible .... hope you get something new and exciting right away Yeah no worries, just my move to higher up in group comes without me  hahahaha fs This is a success really (ignoring the management opinion), I created and organised a team who has gone on to become great leaders and organisers in their own right. they will continue on to be very successful. I am offered to "wrestle back control" from them. :/ That is in opposition to all the agile development principles I uphold and the beautiful thing we have forged together. I shall not do so! I expect them to want to grow more if anything, right? I shall gracefully stand down and move on to work with a new group of individuals on some city or gubbermint project and what will be will be. no worries. Thanks for the supporting comments. Takes a big man. Or a big woman. Good on ya. Thank you I was going to write something supportive, but I'm too sick to write and think, but the meds are nice. Go Globb0 maybe? |

Sig ad files above the sig? I hope this ain't the future... Sort of bad form, old chap? Nothing personal, just I love it that sig ads are not visible in here. apologies! just added the sig ad for posts of the Bitcoin Big-Mac-Index which is a project I'm working on and to reach a balanced cost history there. If I post comments and other stuff here I won't add the sig ad manually to my posts. Don't want to be an asshole, more so when it doesn't really bothers me... but please take in mind that it could be considered some sort of rule evasion. Sigs are not visible in this thread for a reason (probably in exchange of our generous and more relaxed special posting rules, such as multiposting). Maybe you should ask theymos for permission/clarification? P.S.: In a completely unrelated topic: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARRI! Thank you very much. |
