If it manages to hold above 7k this time, this will be the second higher low. All three bottoms are nice and evenly spaced out too. Confidence that the bottom is in could be all that we need in order to make new all time highs in short order.

Uh, realdoll.com has been around for over a decade. Not my cup of tea, and there's plenty of copies now.

Don't forget the repair kit.

I'd hate to be the guy providing on site support for this.

BobLawblaw's dream job?

I just want AI and robotics to improve to the point where I can replace my wife with one (or several) robotic women.

What if they get too smart and make an evil plan to make you their slave instead of pleasing you? Cheesy

So best case scenario is pleasure robot. Worst case scenario is back where he started. Sounds like a good deal.

It is technically possible that we could be bailed out by geometric progression in self improving AI. Not saying likely or anything. But technically possible.
Let's keep the sci-fi to sci-fi forums. We like to focus on reality.
Yea right. Good luck with pretending like AI is fiction. You said there was no other option. I provided an entirely scientifically plausible one.

“The EU is in an existential crisis. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.”
"The strength of the dollar is already precipitating a flight from emerging-market currencies. We may be heading for another major financial crisis." -George SOROS

Fill your bags boys. This is the moment we all have been waiting for. It is coming. Paper monetary system is on life support since early 2000's. QE's kept him alive for nearly another 20 years and It has come to an end.

The next 24 months are extremely critical.
2020 is the estimated year some of us came up with for the So Obvious The Muggles Can't Pretend to Ignore It event. Something that has been brewing for decades will happen, and Trump, the far right extremist president who stole the election, will be blamed.

The next few years are indeed extremely critical. We will either change the turning of the wheel of history, or repeat the cycle.

It doesn't matter. Bitcoin will demolish and reshape every existing order and power structure.
Yes, but at what cost? A WWII style war with a clear and legitimate enemy would be far preferable to a soviet-style meltdown on a large scale. Even if only under the heading that "less people would die".

Does that not feel a bit uncomfortable Ibian, the concept of "A clear and legitimate" ennemy? Between 1933 and 1939 many leaders of the so called democracies admired Hitler, Musso and even the Japanese... . When it comes to war, ther is no such concept. Look at all the wars that haven been ever since 1945, it only has become more and more fog, mist and smoke ennemies. I follow Infofront but for the opposite reasons : Bitcoin is challenging the warmongers.  
Compared to what? There are no other options. It's direct confrontational war, or an economic meltdown where even more people die. That's it, death or death. Nothing grows forever.

Get some physical gold too.
I bought and held GLD for a while and it was the most fucking boring investment ever. I need something a bit more exciting/interesting if we're talking about investments.

You know what else is boring too? A house's foundation. That has to be the least interesting and exciting part of any house. That doesn't mean I would ever want to find out my house was lacking one.

Be wary of those sneaky bear counter-attacks.

And we just got some confirmation yesterday that the market does in fact see us as a safe haven asset. (A lot of people just assume this, I have never felt comfortable just assuming it)

Joking aside they are in a very shitty situation, they basically don't have a government!

Are you sure that isn't the opposite of a problem?
411  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 29, 2018, 04:38:29 PM
Italy panic over, normal selling will resume shortly.

If this is true though, it will show us something very interesting. I have been trying to figure out lately whether the market is viewing bitcoin as another tech stock or a flight to liquidity style asset. It would appear that it's both. It seems that bitcoin likes either extreme and dislikes a status quo future.

...going flat for expended period of time is not healthy...

That's not true. Nothing wrong with flat (or even declining) hashrate as long as decentralization of miners improves or at least stays constant.

Meh. A more decentralized high hash rate is more resistant to centralization pressures than an equally decentralized lower hash rate.

True but a major BTC miner going offline/bankrupt and its equipment being resold through the courts would cause a hashrate drop but potentially increase decentralization  Grin

Hm yea I suppose that scenario is both true and consistent with what you said in your previous post.

#random. Saw on Reddit in some thread somewhere.

Thought it was relevant, given the absolute state of Bitcorn right now.



Oh no! MarkJ what happened to that beautiful paint job bro?

Raising chickens is more trouble than it's worth IMO.

Oh hell yes. But it's more complicated than a simple cost benefit analysis where eggs are the revenue.
416  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 28, 2018, 02:18:41 AM
Its not a conspiracy. Its not a master entity somehow doing perfectly timed dumps and orders to 'hold it down' as if such a thing would even work. Its not the godfather. Its not god. Its not aliens. Its just normal trading. Ok.
What kind of person does it make me if I would be equally surprised/unsurprised to learn that either of these two explanations was the case? Am I a conspiracy theorist or a nocoiner? Cheesy


But wait, there's more:


Oh my god. This could be almost as good as the trump election. Please Kek make this happen. I will sacrifice a chicken to you great one.
The tweet he was replying to was talking about the powerful controlling the media not Jews don't get off your rocker, it seems everyone is jumping to this conclusion.

Back to prove high 7300s no instant dip, kind of excited.

Yea well I wouldn't have agreed to sacrifice one of my chickens if I actually thought this was going to happen. I love my chickens.

At this price, I'm wondering if anything is priced in. Further up the coinmarketcap list we see EOS. They have no working product yet, and a market cap 4X that of Monero, all based on a hope and a prayer.

It seems like there's still froth in the market, but in all the wrong places.

These other projects have bigger bullshit. That has never been Monero.


I mean Darkcoin lies spouting for example. Its not our way. We want people to naturally arrive at monero, maybe its a little naive?

Anyway so be it, we are here and we are honourable.


If the shit eventually goes down we might be glad of this virtue.



To be honest the next big BTC land grab is underway IMO.  May our "virtue" protect us via hashpower.

Chain attacks.

Chains with low enough hashpower (or centralized enough hashpower) which can be 51% attacked will be shorted and attacked.  BIG money to be made here...  and it is already happening.  Even with all the extra RingCTs verge has it fell! Wink

In the end this may be one of the crypto universe's most difficult times.  We could see some big names get hit...  and Joe "CNBC" Schmoe is not going to know what is safe once he realizes it's happening.

I checked bitcoin gold after the doublespend. No noticeable effect on the price what so ever... What is this world that I live in?

I'm pretty sure he's well aware of that and what he is saying is, is the "Buy on the news" already priced in? Which normally could the be case (would have been [the case]in the past) except the word is not out to such a larger audience (now) and that most new (reddit) speculators don't even understand why fungability is a good thing now days let alone what BP is going to bring to the table.


^ Me when I finally made it to the end of that sentence. ^


But I had a bit of a think about it more and I got to thinking that there is just too much information in this space for people to sort through and absorb. So much fud and so much garbage, so much noise to signal. I mean who here knows what the hell is going on in other projects besides their babies? It seems pretty likely that it is not at all priced in.

Yeah, my sentence structure is directly correlated to my pain level these days. Smiley

I went in the quoted to ftfy and my head started to hurt! It needs more "ises"! That sentence is a perfect example of why I no longer function in a professional setting, I know what I was trying to say but it was painful to express it. Living in Pain is a humbling experience. And you will note many places where I state i can no longer code (that would be why).

Give me an hour out in the yard working on the bike and my next post will look like that. Tongue

Actually by the end of this post trying to fix the last abortion of a post I'm starting to curtail back! Need m0ar meds! Cheesy

Sorry if I touched a nerve. I wasn't trying to make fun. I just thought it was a funny image to imagine that it was reading it out loud instead of in my head. I know for a fact that my grammar is not always on point. I probably made some sort of mistake in this message.

This article made my day. Check it out guys; written in 2014, and till now, the price predictions have remained extremely accurate:

That was fun. Thanks for the share. Can't wait to meet up with you other "earlies" in the citadel.
