All this talk of the search for happiness, reminds me of the Buddhist concept of grasping being the source of unhappiness.
Happiness, if found, will always be temporary. You can buy the new car and you'll be happy for a while, until you then want the new boat, which itself will make you happy for a while, until you want the helicopter, then the airplane, ad infinitum. The search for permanent happiness will always be endless. Instead, Buddhism (well, some of its schools) would suggest that contentedness, rather than happiness, should be the goal.
Be content with what you have. Which doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to improve your situation and that of others, but that you should be content with whatever outcome arrives.
The whole "happiness" industry has just become so "Americanised" (or maybe "Californianised") to have simply become an industry of easily digested and poorly written books and websites. It's saddening, when there is potentially so much more to be learned here.
Ignoring the mention of God, I quite liked a passage in Obama's newly released "A Promised Land":
"The truth is, I've never been a big believer in destiny. I worry that it encourages resignation in the down-and-out and complacency among the powerful. I suspect that God's plan, whatever it is, works on a scale too large to admit our mortal tribulations; that in a single lifetime, accidents and happenstance determine more than we care to admit; and that the best we can do is to try to align ourselves with what we feel is right and construct some meaning out of our confusion, and with grace and nerve play at each moment the hand that we're dealt."
Gave up my last sMerit before reading this, so +1 WOsMerit Satisfaction, from my point of view, is self-made. Once you're generally satisfied with your life, and this is where we should not have to complain too much, for example compared to an average north korean or somali citizen, you are able to find happiness quite often and easily. Accepting that things that happen are good, things you have are enough (and so on) instad of following and thus building your ego's frustration and discontent, is basically a way to more happiness. Avoiding comparison is the key. I can look at my bitcoin "stash", have three choices: 1. Most WOs have way more corn than me 2. I have *insert low number here* coins, but most people i know have none and probably never will. 3. Hey, i own bitcoins! fucking brilliant! Very cheap. Think of it as an entry ticket to the party. A good encouragement for other groups to hold parties. Nice!
Even then, it's fucking cheap for a sex party, isn't it? I used to pay about 2 times that much  #nohomo |

Anti LGBT politician escaping a drug, 25 men gang bang party through window/roof hatch when police arrives What will his wife a Constitutional Court judge say when he gets home? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN77Pr5h0ec coming soon: Divorced, sued, f*cked. Maybe not in this particular order btw.: have you read about the "fine" €25 for each "partycipant" and €75 for the host (for not following covid orders) Equality, right? But remember: Some are more equal than others

Think about what you really want and what makes you truly happy . To not die; to not age; to experience continuous growth (not in the pituitary gland/gigantism way...) Don't do things to make others happy Each to their own, but that sounds FU. Guess he meant "Don't do things only to make others happy". Which is just a little better, on a second thought. |

Where’s Bossian?
That guy owes me 0.05BTC when we cross the ATH.
Let us know when its time to tag him. Is it wrong that I feel bad for Mindrust today? A couple of people asked when we should tag him  I’m saying let’s give it a week. I don’t expect him to pay, would be very surprised. I feel a bit bad for mindrust too. We can’t all be winners though! Some of us went through the worst, but selling was a quick thought at best, never a valid option. Some of us broke down. That should remind us to hold on to what it's worth it - to me, to you, to us. Also a brilliant lesson in life, don't you think so? I think it was a relieving action to sell for mindrust. Bossian... I can*t remember the bet, but hey, whom can you trust on the interweb? You often can't even trust close people in RL. I hope he will pay, which should complete his lesson. |

Fucking-Fugging et al.
"Fugger" is a family name in Austria, btw.
But it could get worse: The maiden's name of the grandmother of a person from Austria i know in RL was "Silly". She had a brother that burned to serve for the british navy, who finally made it and guess what, returned years later because he couldn't move up career-wise. He was then working in a coal mine for a few years before he committed suicide.
Nomen est omen?

I think that people are being more careful after dips (corrections) like this, especially those who are newer to bitcoin/crypto.
Let the volume become lower and the FUD clear up. Then the general midterm price-direction should be obvious, at probabilities higher than now.

EDIT: The above statement is meant to apply to the earlier phases of a possible ATH-breaking bullrun. There is more to it, of course, but i'm half asleep and tried to keep this post as short as possible.

In that regard i can recommend the comedy movie " Bad Fucking" (kinda hard to find via google, but why oh why?  ) It's in german. ...wait, some austrian accent, you can compare it with what scottish is like to english. German speakers (and listeners), enjoy  Thanks for the hint, looks promising with some familiar faces from "Vorstadtweiber" there, ordered the DVD. Seems like classic black Austrian humor. Looking forward to it. I'd also recommend the trilogy "Sex, Drugs and Rock'n Roll" by Michael Glawogger (RIP). Titles in order: "Nacktschnecken" "Contact High" "Hotel Rock'n Roll" Spolier Alert: Plenty of styrian accent. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born and grew up in the region of styria. Just like the movie ‘Er ist wieder da’?
This is a German movie, which i have to watch yet. who of you guys have at least one burn out experience?
From workaholic to chronic sickness. Burning out was just a "explicit warning" not to ignore my health problems any further. Well, and years of devotional deliverance of all my working power for people i actually hated, to help some people i liked. |

So you are the one who jinxed it. * OutOfMemory looks down in shame I won't do it again, i promise EDIT: Just looking at corn going down again  May i have to call $1000 for it to go up again? hmmmm |

I'm not into conspiracy theories.. but the mnuchin crap right now looks more than just a coincidence. Why do every correction need a justification?? The corn was way overbought. Some traders wanted the profits and they unchained the sell off. Just in case the Mnuchin crap is real... Why dont they apply the same rules to CASH?? Like showing the remaining bills in your cash wallet when you purchase something at retail stores. And asking for detailed info on the seller. I should know who is the new owner of my paper note.  As some other WO wrote a couple of posts earlier, the rally was losing steam. Perfect time for traders to liquidate. Some reggae vibes in there. I like it. |

[...] EDIT: So i asked my wife to BTFD and she did Good girl  Did she? Really? Lucky guy you are! Now you're tempting me... I've got some spare fiat from a bonus I got recently. About $10k. Should I? Damn! I'd throw in half of that, and maybe the rest later on, if another dip occurs. No advice! EDIT: I forgot to mention (maybe i did, months or years ago in WO) we have an agreement. IF she ever loses money through an investment i suggested, i'll refund it. Not happened a single time to date |

Theory: Let's sum it up: End of month coming Black Friday China FUD about banning miners (difficulty drop) Trump/Mnuchin rumors (added) 1+1+1+1=4 TLDR: BTFD! Breathe in, breathe out.
Bidnez as usual. Honey badger's got to sleep too, ya know... He isn't some sort of superpower like Vegeta or sth...
As Jay would say: "don't you know nuttin'?" (your lil selfie)

Good morning. ... is it really good? Could be better, according to BTC price charts
Ex wife update:
The non follower has discovered the recent rise in BTC. Called me to see how she can sell her bitcoin. #LooseHands
So why did you tell her?  So $18.6k broke. Well, you lucky buyers, BTFD! My fiat is locked, but my corn too What is this? A dump for ants? Bigger ants, tho... I'm liking this correction. It was the same last time we were revisiting the previous ATH (around 1150$) in early 2017. Upon hitting 1150 we had a decent correction to 700ish. A month later we were back at 1100$. Five more months and we were hitting 3K and we all know how the rest of 2017 went. The longer you fuel the rocket the higher she goes Yeah, i remember my debut buying at $2,4k. Panic sold the most @ around $2.2k two days later and re-bought again at $2.8k in the same week |

great idea, seriously funny .... (removed analysis of possible china fud) ..... Not a bad thing at all. Miner dominance(s) should change to the better. If it's even true. EDIT: One of my eyes is already closed. #hodlsleep #thenmoon |

Nice to see Trump wait for Thanksgiving Day to bury the news of the pardon he granted to Michael Flynn
I can't wait to see him try and pardon himself. Even if it works, that only applies to federal crimes. He is in a heap of shit for state crimes. His immunity runs out on Jan 21, 2021 at noon. Pass the popcorn please... I don't know what you guys want! He truly made america great again, by losing the elections and getting removed. So in the end, he achieved what he stupidly promised, didn't he? EDIT: Support around $18.6k got thinner, but i would be surprised if it breaks. Nothing to see here |
