The coming flu season will be the breaking point. Normal flu is less lethal during spring and summer so finger crossed how Covid behaves for the months ahead. You don't want to have people hanging on ventilators at the ICU's again.

Vaccine will be ready at the start of 2021 ore later during spring, it's also possible before 2021. All of them are in the 3th fase of testing.

I hope it will be a done deal in summer 2021 so i can enjoy major sports events like Euro football championship with mass gatherings drinking a glas of beer watching the games and of course seeing woman in tight orange football outfits again lol.

The top 3 is still worrisome, i expect India to overtake U.S.A sooner ore later. Do not underestimate Covid-19 the danger is still there, stay save.

That makes two annoyed OG HODLERs.

Getting mighty sick of the mandatory mask mandates, despite everything dropping and starting to get under control.

It's all political theatre.

*breathe in and out Bob. Don't get angry. Go hit another bowl of Gods' herb*

Fair enough... I suppose 90% is better than 100%.  I can see that angle - even though personally, I remain worried about the necessity of those kinds of plays, too...  

Accordingly, you will hardly see me compromising in that kind of seemingly timing of the market mindset direction - even though I do appreciate that there could be personal circumstances that might justify a bit of a different approach... even though that selling 90% approach continues to feel like a kind of gambling mindset, rather than an investing mindset.

By the way, I feel that I do compromise in regard to my suggestion that peeps need to determine how much to put into bitcoin, and I suggest starting out with a consideration of 1% to 10% of quasi-liquid assets, and suggesting that a minimum of 1% is a potentially prudent approach... even though 1% also seems a bit whimpy to me, but I have a kind of understanding that sometimes people may need to get accommodated to an investment such as BTC and also to get used to it.... so surely, I am not opposed to considering ways to individually tailor approaches while also even going outside of the suggested range based on personal circumstances....

At the same time, I am just considering mindsets of selling 90% as a road that is a bit too far - and I have difficulties with relating to those kinds of gambling mindsets - unless there is an actual excuse that is based on short life expectations or some exogenous demands, rather than attempts that seem to be merely timing the market... Might be just me, unless there would be some particular circumstances that might be pointed out that would allow me to appreciate that such an approach would not be a kind of gambling.

I am thinking about a formula that aim to NOT sell more than 10% for every range - such as every 100% (or maybe less selling and a greater range?)

But it would go something like this:

Let's say that you started buying BTC at or near the top of the last bubble, but you stuck with it and you kept dollar cost averaging in.  Accordingly, you have a average cost per BTC that is around $8k per BTC, and so you are a bit concerned about what to do.

You decide that you will sell no more than 10% of your stash for every time that the BTC price doubles (if it does)

Therefore, you have authorized yourself to sell 10% of your stash at any point of your own choosing at each point within the below prices ranges:


1) $10k to $20k (10% of total stash)

2) $20k to $40k (10% of total stash)

3) $40k to $80k (10% of total stash)

4) $80k to $160k (10% of total stash)

5) $160k to $320k (10% of total stash)

6) $320k to $640k (10% of total stash)

7) $640k to $1.2m (10% of total stash)

Etc. etc. etc

Indeed, very well deserved.... In a very short period of writing more as before—-> merit followed like crazy :-)

The dude a little more off...... normal going home from holiday on Thursday, was in a paradise hotel @ravello, but went home on Sunday.... Women’s and troubles..... She wasn’t ready for a bitcoiner and perhaps she was the first one to complain that I bought to much things as for myself as for her etc.... learned a lot last six months...

On the other side that was a thing that made her looking good, she wasn’t there for the wrong stuff, on the other side maybe I’m happy as well it ended, but damn why on holiday (wasn’t with a fight or anything)

First actions, installed that tinder crap for the first time in my life and it’s working as it seems  

thatiswowindeed!  139 quintillion calculations per second, but only 7 transactions made in that that same time. this is the polar opposite of efficiency. it shows how much of the power of this network goes into security and protection of those 7 transactions.

we are trained for efficiency. no matter what we do, we try to do it more efficiently next time. bitcoin is different. it gives up efficiency completely to ensure maximum security. that is counter-intuitive and makes it hard to understand and is one of the reasons for the existence of shitcoinery: "my blockchain is faster.."

the bitcoin algorithm is a monster. secured by 139 quintillion calculations per 7 transactions.

if you want to build a tank the equivalent thickness of the steel used would need to be 500yards. moves slow but no weapon existing could penetrate it, not even in theory.

It's over 11k! 

wesentlich differenzierter und weniger scary. "Privatwirtschaftliche Kryptowährungen" lehnt Olaf Scholz also ab. So gesehen müsste er fast alle shitcoins ablehnen. einen ausgesprochenen Libra Gegner als Finanzminister ist imho nicht das schlimmste.  

EU-Kommission will Kryptowährungen nicht verbieten

Trotz massiver Bedenken einiger Euro-Länder will die EU-Kommission private Kryptowährungen wie Facebooks Libra nicht von vornherein verbieten. Seine Behörde wolle in der Frage „verhältnismäßig“ vorgehen, sagte Vize-Kommissionspräsident Valdis Dombrovskis heute beim Treffen der EU-Finanzminister in Berlin.

„Kryptowährungen bieten viele Chancen. Und wir wollen Innovation durch Regulierung möglich machen und nicht verhindern.“ Die EU müsse offen für diese Innovation sein.
Strikte Regulierung bis hin zu Verbot gefordert

Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Spanien und die Niederlande hatten vor dem Wochenende eine harte Regulierung und notfalls auch Verbote gefordert. Der deutsche Finanzminister Olaf Scholz bekräftigte heute erneut, die Minister seien „fest davon überzeugt, dass privatwirtschaftliche Kryptowährungen keinen Sinn“ ergeben und „notfalls auch verboten werden“ müssten. Die Ausgabe von Währungen sei in der Euro-Zone Sache der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB).

Bei digitalen Währungen sind eine Reihe von Anbietern am Start. Eines der bekanntesten Projekte ist die Kryptowährung Libra des US-Onlinekonzerns Facebook. Er verspricht den Nutzern, das Einkaufen und Geldüberweisen im Internet mittels Libra so einfach wie das Versenden einer Textnachricht zu machen.

EU Commission does not want to ban cryptocurrencies

Despite massive concerns from some euro countries, the EU Commission does not want to ban private crypto currencies like Facebook's Libra from the outset. Vice-Commission President Valdis Dombrovskis said today at the meeting of EU finance ministers in Berlin that his authority wants to proceed “proportionately”.

“Cryptocurrencies offer many opportunities. And we want to make innovation possible through regulation, not prevent it. ”The EU must be open to this innovation.
Strict regulation up to and including prohibition required

Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands had called for tough regulation and, if necessary, bans before the weekend. The German finance minister Olaf Scholz reiterated today that the ministers are “firmly convinced that private-sector cryptocurrencies do not make sense” and “should be banned if necessary”. The issuing of currencies in the euro zone is a matter for the European Central Bank (ECB).

A number of providers are at the start for digital currencies. One of the best-known projects is the Libra cryptocurrency of the US online group Facebook. It promises users to make shopping and transferring money online using Libra as easy as sending a text message.

Looks like half the planet is burning

But what happens if you lose 1 or the order of them?

 Naw, he's doing it right; you gotta make sure the rusty pipe is not an easy fit.

Fully inspired, I got creative:



We care.

It is SAD to ignore Proudhonk in my humble, confirmed, opinion.

For what's worth, I confirm cAPSLOCK's findings. Because science and hard data.

Fake news. The true news is bitcoin is crashing.

No worries; I meant that I was inspired and not antagonized.

I paused to reflect on the public flamewars that I have seen in Bitcoinland, and realized that many people simply must be unable to accept that their pet ideas were rejected.

OutOfMemory, something you said set off half the draft of a post that would require revving a V8 to the redline to zoom past.  I’ll need to complete it later today—or maybe tomorrow, if I am to “stfu”.
