@mikeinspace
The road to 100K will be long & arduous for #Bitcoin  as each 10K rise is someone’s psychological top creating sell pressure and retracement. It’s easy to say you’ll hang on white knuckled all the way up but when will you lick the fiat boot... 20K? 30K? 50K?

HODL brother, HODL!

That assertion from @mikeinspace is nearly pure bullshit.

It's like arguing that every $100 step from $200, to $300, to $500 etc was going to be painstaking while the BTC price was in the double digits in late 2012, and we know how that played out.

Also

It's like arguing that every $1,000 step from $2,000, to $3,000, to $5,000 etc was going to be painstaking while the BTC price was in the triple digits in late 2016, and we know how that is playing out.

In other words, even if we might experience some BTC price stagnation points and maybe even BTC price percentage increases that are NOT as outrageously extreme as they had been in previous cycles, there is no reason (beyond pure naysaying) to believe that the BTC UPpity price dynamics are NOT much different than they had been in those earlier cycles.. even if the waves are quite likely to play out in somewhat different ways (and we have seen that too, in each cycle, the waves do NOT play out exactly the same, even though the generally go in the same UPpity direction if we zoom out a wee bit).

He's correct about this. Most care about what they can buy and are not in this for the altruistic goals of economic freedom.

A good portion of those in this thread only care about how much they can cash out for.

Another day, another bart, meh... I voted for August as well. We stayed at $9200 for too long, let's hope we will see some action in the right direction in July.

$9300 seems to be the resistance for the last few months.
Weird number.

jbreher likes to pump them up too, I wonder why that is?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes  He might want to chime his picnic bear ass into the mix, as well.    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

He tends to support centralization and trusted third partys for some unknown reason.
Makes me wonder sometimes why he supports bitcoin?

Examples would be helpful in buttressing your claim.

You support Coinbase and BSV, do I really need to add anything more than that?

Yes, you do. Coinbase as opposed to what? Binance? BitFinex?

BSV as opposed to what? BTC? From a fundamental analysis they are exactly as centralized as each other.
So I have tried a few times to download the Coinbase app needed to sign up for the Coinbase debit card. Each time I get "This is not supported in your country".

I use a VPN to set my IP in the US so is it not supported in the US? Or is it somehow detecting that I'm really in Panama?

Also, I finally got around to filing my extortion papers for the IRS.

Getting married helped keep me from needing to pay any taxes.

Land of the free...where you have to file your taxes even if you haven't stepped foot in the country all year.

In other news; I read in a local rag recently that Belichick is writing off a quarterback this year because he anticipates an opportunity to trade for Garoppolo before the 2021 season. 

Interesting thought as the Pats are not known for paying the big bucks so it would depend on the size of the contract.

Firstly, it's interesting that the US, per head of population (one node per million) actually has less than many European countries.  Germany is 3 per million, Finland is 12 per million - even little Iceland has two nodes - one per 150,000 people.

Concentration in areas or cities is more interesting.  In the USA California on its own has more nodes than most countries (56) - more than the whole of China or Russia - which is perhaps not surprising.

Lets not forget that you can have a node anywhere that servers are rented, I had one in one of the Slavs (forgot which one) because it filled in a gap.

Looks like we have six members interested in a fantasy football league, we're 60-75% there.

Here're the members who expressed interest so far:

@figmentofmyass
@nutildah
@bbc.reporter
@South Park
@tyKiwanuka
@DireWolfM14


I'm calling out some of the members who were active in the Essential NFL thread throughout last season.  Maybe we can entice two or four of them to join as well.

@Hueristic
@wheelz1200
@DaveF
@Gyfts
@rdbase
@ralle14
@morvillz7z



Shit I didn't even know about this thread!

I'm in but only if it is a NON PPR format.

I've played in a few leagues and PPR ruins it for me, I feel it takes alot of the fun of finding new talent completely out of the equation.


Looking forward to my Pats getting their Asses reamed this year! Grin Grin Grin


Thanks for the ping @DireWolfM14, not sure how i missed the discussion but you can count me in.

I think we can get 10, but if we need 1-2, i remember ChiBitCTy had a fantasy league going on, maybe some of those guys might be interested?

I was in that league (it started as the Monero league) but they went full PPR last year so I didn't play.


Just an FYI guys after playing in a few leagues I've learned that you should make a rule that this is an invite only league so a few straggler accounts that collud cannot just join. Its a shame but there are lowlifes that will ruin a good league for a few pennys.


BTW, My absolute most Hated QB is Cam Newton. I literally could not have picked a qb I would want less on the Pats!
He has no clue what the word team means.
3631  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 12, 2020, 03:27:04 PM
Top to bottom it's usually about 80 - 85%.

So:
$150K top - $22.5K - $30K
$200K top - $30K - $40K

Nor top nor bottom matter that much. After last ATH in Dec 2017, Bitcoin was less then 3 months over $10000 and a bit more then half year under $6000. For almost 2 years was $6-10k.   So in 3 years time we will most likely complain about $50-100k Bitcoin price. What the hell is wrong that it dont move up?

Derivatives.

But they can only hold it back for so long.

he bi yearly forks were a net negative in my humble opinion.  I was glad the consensus was to stop them after the final try at RandomX.  And that we felt the need to call the hard forks "network upgrades" was sort of proof that we knew we were doing something that is anti-decentralization for the tradeoff of defeating ASICS.  As much as I loved taking out bitmain on that first algorithm tweak, it was a bit of a defeat to keep doing that.

We basically switched to the term scheduled network upgrade, because people associated the term hard-fork with a chain split that would create a new coin (and thus holders would be eligible for some kind of dividend). There used to be tons of questions on Reddit whether users would be getting some kind of dividend / new coin.

I only argued for the term "scheduled Update" for years (way before monero reddit) but its nice to see it finally adopted no matter what term they used.
