[...] It's particulrly difficult at the moment, because the arrest and imprisonment of Tommy Robinson in the UK is going to have some wide reaching political implications.
If there is anything I have learned about bitcoin is that often the price doesn't move an inch when there is major global bitcoin news (not just UK) and that there can be very large price movements without even a trace of bitcoin news to be found anywhere. My conclusion is that most bitcoin trading is done based on the bitcoin chart and nothing else. Since bitcoin is spread over the globe pretty evenly, the bitcoin price seems to average out price movements of major fiat currencies, With maybe a bit more influence to the US dollar since Europe still trades a lot using the USD/BTC charts. We dropped about 12% over the last 7 days, which I consider relatively stable. (more than 2% per day, averaged over several weeks is still quite normal for bitcoin). To me, the next days and weeks are just a guess, but I'm all in and trust that bitcoin will be useful for many years to come.

[...] paycheck to paycheck [...]
My paychecks are irregular but I have some buffer to handle that and very little fixed expenses. For the rest I'm irresponsibly far into bitcoin and can't buy any more of these cheap coins. Living paycheck to paycheck sounds very stressful. What worked for me in the past is listing all my fixed and regular expenses, converted to cost/month where needed, order them largest to smallest, and starting from the top of the list, try to get a better deal or consider cancelling the expense altogether. One that is often overlooked is food. Supermarkets have huge margins and you can often get much better deals if you order larger quantities on-line. Electricity usage too. I have natural gas heating and use about 1100 kWh/year using good LED lights, net-book computers and fridge, freezer and internet modem as the _only_ permanent loads, even the microwave has a plug-in switch since I don't like to spend 8 Watts to show the time when not in use. It's a bit of time to sort out but small savings on regular expenses keep adding up in time after that.

Finally some volume. Don't care which way, just do something.

Good topic. Without doing any TA, there is currently no wall at all at bitstamp and I never trade, I only BTFD.

boom coming soon
Depends on mood of Asia when they wake up. (do they sleep at all?)

They say sell in May and go away. I bought (quite a lot) and I am here to stay: always the sum I am not afraid to lose. We will see how this unfolds: still bullish
I panic-bought TFD at $8340 so I can sleep better this weekend. Not that it matters a year from now. I seem to get quite good at calling the bottoms. And then totally fuck up the tops :-)

Go look at btc dominance and tell me more about a limited supply.
Show me a coin other than BTC, ETH or XMR that deserves to have a value above zero. Euro's (as long as scrap metal prices stay above zero)

Hilarious. The scammer not being triggered by bitcoin/BCH makes me think this is even real, on the other hand any Nigerian would have gone for the ICO :-) Edit: The bch address lacks entropy. It looks suspiciously like someone used two hands on a qwerty keyboard to make a "random" key. A Bech32 key encoding (without capitals) should also have started with "bc1".

Isn't Bitcoin a wonderful way to learn patience and serenity?
After 4 years of bitcoin, I recently added some cold hard stock into the mix, to at least have some appearance of financial responsibility. All I can say is that it is even more boring than I feared. There is only traded going on a few hours a day and most of that doesn't overlap with my spare time, and weekends really test my patience since there is NOTHING AT ALL going on until Monday afternoon, or even Tuesday because NASDAQ computers take some Mondays off.

I would like a place with nice weather where I may eventually retire. The whole ERTH thing started to get on my nerves. Too much crap all over. I would like to have an ability to be left pretty much alone with my immediate family, yet maintain some western style comforts. Too much to ask? key word "some" The difference between (no power at all) and (a few hours of lights and internet/day) is wayyyyy bigger than the difference between (a few hours of lights and internet/day) and (all the power you can possibly use) in lifestyle terms. In a place with nice weather, power is easy: solar with decent size powerwall for 2 or 3 clouded days, done. For internet Iridium NEXT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation#Second_generation ) is nearing completion, and the future SpaceX Starlink should provide a massive amount of bandwidth if you are one of the few users in the area. The island looks like a bargain compared to a decent sail boat, but is still outside of my budget with current BTC prices :-(

Old-fashioned bikes didn't use gears and to increase efficiency, the initial solution was to increase the wheel size. While shocks and gears seem like the obvious solution today, it was not obvious to many even most initially. #LightningNetwork Source: https://twitter.com/MSNBTC/status/974328802867367936Also lacking (inflatable) tires, mudguards, and I would not even want breaks that high up. If anything, wheels are only getting smaller on recumbent bicycles.

It's like capitalism run amok...but communist...or something...
It's mostly a cultural thing. history or the (very near) future is just not a thing. Maintaining or even cleaning stuff does not happen. If it breaks, don't fix it, just keep using it. When it becomes absolutely unusable, leave it where it was last used, buy something new (or less broken) and repeat. Or simply stop doing whatever it was used for. Car breaks down? Stop going to work, problem solved. "Why is Everything in CHINA FALLING APART?": https://youtu.be/o9eXi3RL8q4

Exactly 1K BTC wall on stamp, at $8800. (yes, I made an on-topic post)
The wall didn't last long. The price on stamp is now $8906. It is on the bid side (and still there)

I lost the bid wall line, found it after zooming way out :-)

With a bit of luck you will drive to Mars tomorrow (18:30 UTC)

Figure software RAID under Ubuntu is good enough (?)
It's perfect, in fact it's even better than hardware raid because you can replace the computer with anything else, plug in the raid drives and it will just work, no need to hunt down an identical raid controller to have even a chance of accessing the data. I ended up using Raid 10,f2 which stores odd and even chucks of a single file separately. If you are reading a single large file sequentially, this makes it possible to pull the odd chuncks from one drive and the even chuncks from the other at the same time, resulting in double read bandwidth. Normal raid 10 will only reach double bandwidth with two drives when you are reading two files in parallel or many small files (like a webserver). (this is assuming your workload is reading one big file sequentially, like a file server with large files and few concurrent users. f2 doesn't help when randomly reading small parts of a file.)

Good afternoon bitcoin land.. Are you ready for under 9000 €?I was ready for that last week but it did not happen then. Funny that I don't even care that the btc I'm hodling drops just as fast as the buy opportunity. (edit: I now see the Euro sign. I was hoping for $9000)
