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?

Been out all day, had new brake pads fitted on my car. Haven’t checked the price all day until just now, niiiiiiice!
Wonder if the ATH is getting broken today?
it looks like it would only take some minutes now. Feels like it has run out of steam a bit ... just taking a breather or done for today? That post aged well ... LOL About as well as this one. Thanks for another game, my rather bearish guess: $1795 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giphy.com%2Fmedia%2F4k184nfxSphcs%2Fgiphy.gif&t=663&c=vhZYnnFgKHzMqQ)

What are the odds on whether Tuesdays game will get postponed? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

10k USD definitely raises flags at banks in the USA. so i actually try to keep withdrawals to exactly 10k or more. i dont want to be accused of trying to slide under that.. forget what the term is (laddering? but that doesnt sound right) but its a red flag thing for sure.
and my bank never blinked an eye at my amounts for years. i did get a call from my banks due diligence dept in the last few months asking what i used coinbase for and if i sent anything from coinbase out of the country (investment and no were the answers).
I thought you had to goto your bank when they closed your account? Damn my memory I wonder who that was now.

I think the C8 is very cheap for a mid engine car and I know their is plenty of room to build a twin turbo setup in the back of them almost as if they designed it to be done that way.. Put standalone engine management on it and I can also fix that easily and forever.. Convert it to a manual steering rack, tilton pedal box, coil over non-electronic suspension, throw away the abs and any traction control..
Could make a pretty nice cart.. Maybe in 10 years I can buy one, lol..
Crossing my fingers they release a manual trans option for it, or someone designs a good swap.. Yeah the paddle box is probably faster, don’t care..
I almost picked this one up in 99 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.cargurus.com%2Fimages%2Fsite%2F2008%2F04%2F07%2F10%2F48%2F1999_chevrolet_corvette_2_dr_std_convertible-pic-60305-640x480.jpeg&t=663&c=8ZiF4BBTP1aq5Q) But the salesman wouldn't take a few grand off for cash on the barrel (damn thing was 54k or so) so I ended up with an older jag and I am so happy that salesman wouldn't budge! Not sure what I was thinking at the time. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I've always wanted this but 180k without a engine/tranny is too high for a toy. even if i did have that to throw away.https://www.shelby.com/Vehicles/GT40-Shelby-Edition

I am into slightly older cars with non-electronic manual drivetrains and relatively simple electronics.. And even slightly older cars with almost no electronics at all..
They break, sure, but I can fix them forever... Changing spark plugs? Well yeah I run cold copper plugs for performance reasons and check them often anyway..
60s and 70s cars can be restored.. In my opinion these newer vehicles with their miles of wire and 10 computers will not be able to be restored like we do “classic” cars of this age..
I’m just not into the new car tech really.. People brag to me about their dash touchscreens that control everything from their heat to steering feel, and it only makes me recoil in fear of ever having to fix it..
I’m liking the C8 Vette though.. I hear ya, and that C8 is a looker!

This is a problem: I was working on checking the belts on my car the other day and getting up and down in the driveway was a bit more annoying than normal. Yes I should build a garage with a lift, but the thought of a trouble free GT3 did cross my mind.
:-)
I don't think they have created a trouble free car ever. Its not on the agenda, but they do have that built in obsolescence pretty well nailed down.I guess I'm just old as I don't find any of the newer cars appealing apart from them being new. I did think of getting a new Shelby Cobra though. https://www.shelby.com/en-us/Vehicles

I was looking at late 60's early 70's Firebirds the other day and was surprised at how far the market has slumped. I wish I had the room to grab one but I have enough in storage and had my Vanden Plas stolen from storage in the past. Investing in vehicles for wealth storage is a very rich mans game. I think us huddled masses need to stick to hardware wallets. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Consider me to be a case point for "Buying car of my dreams" with a couple of BTC at 2.5k. Yes, it was and is super worth it, but price went up since then :-) Problem with 60's muscle cars is they appealed seriously to Boomers as kids (who could not afford them) and Boomers as adults (who finally had the money/time for them). Now that Boomers are dropping dead a lot, they come up for sale and the Gen X'ers & Millenials really don't have much of a connection to them. Plus they are a maintenance pain in the ass: Replace spark plugs every 10k miles? Adjust carburator floats? Oi. Times change. I hear ya, Lots of kids selling their dads car when they dropped dead to buy a ricer. Lol I used to have a 71 bird back in the day and have always wanted to get a 69 and it looks like right now is a great time to buy but I just don't enjoy turning wrenches as much as I used to and that was half the fun back then anyway. A few buddies around the car with some beers swapping out the engine in an afternoon was a good time in my book.

If BTC plunges another $3-4K, what does XMR do? Say fuck it, and go on a tear? or get dragged or pushed down? It's been a bit like a balloon on a long string in a wind storm, lately.
We may have to wait for the next big institutional grab of btc liberties before we see reversal. I doubt we will have long to wait for that to happen.

I am bored of this $12x&$13x prices. Time to move on.
6 weeks passed and still waiting. So boring. We moved on, just in the wrong direction. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And that car will be a house in a few years.
Get a Maybach and it could be. Minor question: For those using systems like Kraken, are you keeping your coin there, or just putting some pennies in every month for the auto withdrawls? A concern is starting to grow in my mind: That exchanges will start considering bitcoins transferred from/to private wallets to be "suspect" by default. Kind of like how email evolved: It used to be following standards, but these days Google mail will only trust mail from other large centralized mail systems (MS Mail, Yahoo, and Google) with everything else being treated as "spam" by default. I was looking at late 60's early 70's Firebirds the other day and was surprised at how far the market has slumped. I wish I had the room to grab one but I have enough in storage and had my Vanden Plas stolen from storage in the past. Investing in vehicles for wealth storage is a very rich mans game.

Hmmmm could be on to something... slightly he’s going to the BTC side, eventually he will be saying BTC is better than gold and all the rest ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I’ve already written somewhere that it rarely or not at all happens that small people have an advantage over big predators in something - and now some even have a 10-year advantage in their favor. I agree with PS to some extent, and I'm sure that his son is also glad that his dad softened his attitude towards BTC a bit ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) https://twitter.com/apompliano/status/1303010909208666112?s=21Although I think Anthony Pompliano made the best comment on his statements ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) And then he shoots himself in the foot with this reply when given that out. Replying to @APompliano Not really. He's only 18. He does not have much money to blow on #Bitcoin , which is actually a very good thing. My concern is for older people who will lose a lot more, and who don't have enough years left to make back what the loss. https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1303011588841013249

That was a short dip, way shorter than I expected in any case.
Considering to buy a car soon as an investment, to keep on the side for the next years. The way things are looking now, it might be possible that I'll be buying it completely with BTC profits.
I have been hodling for 3 years and never-ever cashed. The idea of being able to buy a car with crypto hodlings makes my head spin.
Mind you, we're talking about 1/25th of a Lambo's price, so don't expect jumbo jet prices, but hey, I think it's spectacular anyway.
And that car will be a house in a few years.

Yeah fuck coinbase seems a reasonable stance. I expect to get an earful regarding KYC etc regardless of exchange, though.
Paxos was painless and easy, just an ID IIRC. EDIT: just checked and it was a shot of me holding my id with a utility bill and date and time and I was verified in a few minutes.

OT: In what fucking universe does it make sense that the NASDAQ is up (not down) +25% from its start of the year, during the worst economic crash since the Great Depression?
Seriously??
The NASDAQ didn't just beat some inflation number for the year. UP 25 fucking percent, folks. And it's up +50% from Nov 2019.
Incredible. Average Joe zombies are asleep or flat out ignoring reality.
I call it the PPP effect, Presidential Print and Pump. Socialized stock market, quite ironic isn't it?

IMHO, they shouldn't have changed their village's name. It was their original name, it carried historical meaning, it had existed for 800 years, the locals didn't have any issues with it, other than stupid, ignorant, immature foreigners causing trouble and not respecting the region's history and tradition. What's wrong with Fucking? Those who are offended can go to Hell instead. Salient points, they should have changed their sign to "Fuck Off".
