I missed the last dip with my last fiat money, because i was too optimistic for the price to get lower even more.
You win, JJG  Smiley

I refuse to win.   Tongue Tongue Tongue  I prefer to argue with you, even if you scream "uncle" (and maybe even proclaim that I am a genius) 10,003 times.

Frequently, what I am suggesting is that it seems to be much MOAR better to always prepare for both BTC price directions in such a way that you don't hardly give any shits about which way the BTC price goes in the short term as long as overall the BTC price has a bit of a tendency towards UPPITY in the longer term.

So, yeah, set some BTC buy orders in order that you can buy some lil fiends, if the BTC price dips down.

 Otherwise, just buy some lil fiends from time to time at whatever price she happens to be.

You, Oom, are likely already engaging in such a practice to largely prepare for both Up and down.  Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong with playing around a little bit here and there and see if you can time some purchases on dippities rather than on uppities... and if you are NOT playing around with too much moneys, then it should NOT matter too much whether you add a little to your stash at $5,901, $6,457 or at some other price in that broad range.  

Of course, it feels better on the margins to pick those lil bit lower prices, but in the grand scheme of things, NOT too much mental power or emotion should be expended upon these kinds of price differences except perhaps merely just a bit of attempting to learn from your experiences in regards to how to tweak here and there in such ways that causes uie to be NOT feeling too much emotion about these various ongoing  BTC accumulation/stackening efforts.

It was more like a joke, but i'll write that explicitly next to it from now on, uncle J (JOKING).
And yes, hunting dips is not necessary, but it delivers a good feeling if you hit some. In the end, in my case it results like buying at any price, because sometimes i hit, sometimes i miss. That little bit of extra energy (mostly time) going into "trying to be smart" (and watching the price more often) doesn't bother me that much.
All is well.

Here is the daily increase in the number of cases for the top 8 countries with respect to total number of confirmed infections.  The China graph looks contrived IMHO.
I wanted to point out that those counties seem to have peaked - we're going to beat this thing.  Stay safe.





What i know from my national results is: Whenever the curve flattened it was either

a) weekend (less labs opened)

b) less tests carried out

I generally see a lack of tests within the last three days here.
Less tests, less positives. Always relate to the number of tests (plus lab processing time 1-2 days, in general).

Well.
Being quarantined sucks.
But do you know what sucks the most?
Fascism.

First example: Orban getting full powers to "fight Coronavirus".
Who is going to strip him from those powers if/when crisis is solved?


Quote
The nationalist government in Hungary passed a law Monday granting sweeping emergency powers that Prime Minister Viktor Orban says are necessary to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Those powers include sidelining parliament and giving Orban the power to rule by decree indefinitely. The law would punish those who spread false information about the pandemic with up to five years in prison.

"Changing our lives is now unavoidable," Orban told lawmakers last week. "Everyone has to leave their comfort zone. This law gives the government the power and means to defend Hungary."

During Monday's vote, he said: "When this emergency ends, we will give back all powers, without exception."

But critics insist that Orban is using the pandemic to grab power. "An indefinite and uncontrolled state of emergency cannot guarantee that the basic principles of democracy will be observed," Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejcinovic Buric wrote to Orban on March 24.



https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/03/30/823778208/new-law-gives-sweeping-powers-to-hungarys-orban-alarming-rights-advocates?t=1585593271940


Second, subtler example: we are slowly sliding toward China.
Mass control smuggled as a required Health Prevention Feature.

Quote
"We could extend the tracking through apps that have been talked about a lot in the last few weeks, and we could ask for them in these mass situations." Purpose? Understand the risk of a person who must attend the event, in order to evaluate what to do. For example, on the ticket purchased, the words ?The organization reserves the right to deny entry to those who have had risky behavior regarding the virus or dangerous symptoms?.

FUCK YOU!



Orban is a chapter of its own, a bad example for the european union, and not the first time. This is even what drives the member countries apart, away from anything united.

It's always the same. Responsible people follow the rules, as a self explanatory community sense, but the few of us that are simple minded don't care. Because of these few, and their actions, everybody gets punished. The road to mass surveillance was paved with very small steps, like forbidding unregistered prepaid cards in the EU, one of the last changes to make global tracking possible, as well as intelligence exchange (which spy at each other AND claim to be partnering).
Just pervert. Orwell would turn nuts nowadays.

Classic  Grin
Indiana Jones.
The black dressed dude has a problem: bringing a sword to a gunfight!

No, seriosly, with a gun you're in a bad position over a quick moving opponent. If you run from gunfire, do it like a rabbit, changing direction every second or two, never run in a straight line. Most gunmen are trained well for motionless targets. Like the tuareg swordman in the referenced movie scene.
Every hit with a knife, a stab, a stroke etc. will wound your opponent, most time badly. It hurts and if a main blood vessel is hit, you're likely done. Good bye.
Karate tricks against a man armed with a knife are hollywood dreams, nothing more. Active defense will get you injured. The best defense against a knife is running away AFAP. You can't lose a fight you don't engage in. That said, one should only fight when he has no other option than to kill. This is also thought in the army.

But this isn't Sword Observer, so let's end this topic here, i'm sure there is already a ton to read about on the interweb.

Better: I have a garden, mainly raised beds, and my wife is the gardener. I wish she was as dirty in bed as after gardening, but you can't have it all, you know  Cheesy
3306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 30, 2020, 05:55:20 AM
... i'm with jimbo, don't mess with Gordons and Schweppes, maybe a slice of lemon or lime.

... or cheese and pickled onion on a cracker.

Schweppes (props for correct spelling, btw.) cures a lot of blemishes when it comes to gin.
When you take the Gordons-on-the-rocks test and pass it with ease, compare this to a fine gin, you'll notice the difference.


I stand corrected on the spelling of Schweppes (I should have checked it) but I'll disagree with your assessment of Gordon's.

Gordon's (correct spelling!) is a fine gin but it isn't intended to be drunk straight, on-the-rocks, or lightly seasoned with vermouth and olive. It's at its best mixed with a tonic with enough balls to stand up to its robust flavor. Of course you want a more delicate gin for a martini or on-the-rocks.


I value your opinion, though i disagree still on the Gordon's being called a "fine" gin. But it's not much of an issue, really.
It makes little sense to argue about personal taste and preference.
Sure, it's certainly good if a gin comes strong, especially in a long drink or cocktail, to add definition.



It's like tequila. You don't use Patron or Don Julio to make a margarita. You drink them straight with a wedge of lime and some salt. For a Margarita you want something with more agave bite, like Cuervo Especial Gold.


Gotta try this/them. I think i never had any of these.

I just saw that between my two buys from yesterday, with roughly eight hours apart, the transaction code of the bitcoin broker i used was only incremented by 3.
So in 8 hours there were only three other buys! Price wise, i think we might go down for more. Seems almost everybody just watches or lost interest in BTC, from this perspective. I try to tage advantage, accumulation wise, i'm not bearish mid-term at all.

Of course, you are not to the level of Searing in your pessimistic expressions, yet I am still having some trouble how you could conclude either that there is a lack of interest in the buying of bitcoin or that the price is going down from here based on your scanty evidence.  You have a broker, and the broker's bitcoin transaction count is low?  Do you know the history of this bitcoin broker transaction count, and is the transaction count reflective of anything meaningful?

I was looking for similar low timeframes between buys and found the intermediate transaction count (per hour) was way higher than now.
There's only one point that has influenced the count for sure, it's the mandatory KYC registration since beginning of 2020.
This was likely to push down the count, but so low?
However, as it's a national broker, it clearly speaks for lack of buys in my country.
You can only transfer fiat from/to a national banking account OR use exclusive national ATMs. With the latter one needs an id (drivers license) to scan for using the service.

I am not going to argue if the BTC price is going to go down or up from here, and surely there is likely to be some dragging effects on bitcoin in terms of macro considerations of the stock market and the virus situation is not exactly getting better, so in that regard, we might get some additional downward pressures on BTC, but it's price direction is far from guaranteed, even if the stock market and the overall printer go brrrrrr phenomena might not be in the best of condition, either.

Agree. I am not really pessimistic, but optimistic for lower price possibilities or forming of a temporary bottom.
The ultimate breakout of pessimism, imho, was the mindrust accident that happened lately.

EDIT: Hit "save" three times until the "new post" warning disappeared. Now THAT's a transaction frequency i wanna see at the brokerzzz Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

EDIT2:
Trying to keep it short on the Covid19 topic:
Almost everybody seems to care more about the sick economy lately, instead of questioning it. Really pathetic, imho.
How can one think he is "free" when he (and everbody else) is dependent on inflationary economy, better descibred as wage slavery for most of the participants?

Peaceful non-gun culture country. With a population of old people and cowards. No problems here.

Non gun culture here too. That doesn't help when someone's breaking into your home.
Sure it does. You know your home. They don't. Bring a knife.


Call me Paranoid but some people Pretend to be Buyers or something just to get a look at your house for example and the chances of repeling an attack are severely decreased.
And if there are multiple attackers then even worse...
Got a gun ? No problem... Cheesy

even if it is an ugly, filthy HI Point...

Bombs. I prefer bombs.
The tiny ones, with a lot of screaming afterwards.

Cool

Do not be afraid, i am here because i am bored boring..

ftfy

I'd merit this so much, if i could...

Back to the vodka thing: My favourite V is black cow vodka. It's made from milk/whey and tastes super-round, very unlike the harsh grain-based varieties.
Has it's price, but it's well worth it, imo.

As of gin, it's sapphire and hendricks. Both on rocks or tonic'ed.

The key for me here in Panama is not if I will run out of food, but that the many poor people nearby will run out of food. Then they will go searching. They already rioted in one town and cleared out a local grocery store. My friend was told at his building for everyone to park their cars in the parking garage at his building because thieves are breaking into cars.

Fortunately I was preparing for Thai hitmen to come so I am prepared. I may have to change my sleep schedule though.

That's not quite healthy, especially if you're over 30 already.
Can't you get out or take shelter? Would be hard to believe you didn't prep for this. Real bitcoiners are the most foresighted types of guys (sorry, don't know no #hodling women). Poor countries in crisis times are likely to be a mess.

Speaking of mess... The most authentic opinion on killing somebody ever mentioned to me was: "No matter how your life was like before the killing, it's nothing but a mess afterwards.". I hung around at parks with ex-cons in my youth. Most still were assholes but this one got over it.
Take care.

Today, most vodka is made from fermented grains such as sorghum, corn, rice, rye or wheat, though you can also use potatoes, fruits or even just sugar.

As for juniper,

I'm willing to sacrifice mine if it feeds someone.

As a bonus there's loads of food already lurking in it already. The recipient can expect some week old smoked salmon, oodles of raw liver and a pan fried tumour from a retired police horse as an extra special treat.

Hmm, i wonder which wine would fit in this case...

A decent claret...?

Hard choice. Smoked salmon would go with Rosè or dry white, heavy oak'ed merlot with the liver and for the tumor i'd probably prefer some warm sake.

I would like to just add this...    

I was not proselytising yesterday when I mentioned St. Peters Square and I hope you all understand that. It was a incredibly poignant moment visually that I felt the need to share in these trying times. Freedom of religion is as important to me as financial freedom.
Thank you for all the support however.. it means a lot to me.
 

several holy sites are down now.. mecca is closed, st petersberg closed. and more that ive heard but not verified.

how long since either has been closed is sobering.. thousand+ years theyve been open afaik. no matter what.

Maybe an unexpected silver lining will be that religious types will realise that their religion doesn't need to be centrally managed. Much like their currency.

Forget it. Religion seems to be a placeholder for a healthy mind. Don't expect sane decisions there  Roll Eyes

Hi all

Just checking in to let you all know i am safely tucked up at home.  Focusing on growing a vegetable garden and ready to just ride it out.  I can’t go to a barber so may just end up a hippie with a ponytail.

Have been baking my own bread for years (thanks Panasonic) and it also makes pizza dough. Since a few years I'm ordering beard flour in 25kg bags. (I put 1/2 in smaller bags in the freezer). I keep graded cheese in the freezer too. Together with canned/frozen vegetables I did shopping every 3rd week and can now stretch that to two months without much effort. Supermarket is fine here but I try to minimize the number of visits anyway.

I'm pasteurizing 3-4 liters of milk from the neighbor farm each evening, and my wife also makes bread rolls using the (preppered) spelt meal i was buying about a month ago.
A good friend of mine parked a lot of fish (zander aka pikeperch and trout) in my freezer last year. He owed me some stuff so he gave it all to me. Mid April the fishing season starts again (trout). I'm set. I dont have a gun, unfortunately, but i started working on a really nice hickory baton.
