Really? REALLY???

US Senate Bill S.1241 to Criminalize Concealed Ownership of Bitcoin

https://btcmanager.com/us-senate-bill-s-1241-criminalize-concealed-ownership-bitcoin/
I don't know what to make of it, but it doesn't seem irrelevant.
Anyone share their thoughts?

I have a room filled with miners that is actually quite hot. Pretty sure you could run a sauna on miners in the summer months.
Or a grow room with (cold) LED lights in the winter!

I sleep in it sometimes too because I like lingering inside the noise. They actually help me fall asleep and stop me from waking up randomly.

You win the Bitcoiner of the month award.
Hehe, a fairly uniform noise without bursts or similar transients actually helps several people in getting and staying asleep, including children with troubled sleep patterns. I used to prepare custom soundscape CDs for my nephews when they were wakeful toddlers.

Being more than half spam because I can not find a single transaction with a really low rate? Excuse my ignorance
It's not more than half spam.
It's less than half wit.

Maybe ask mom and dad to put on that funny colorful video on YouTube.
This forum is for the grown-ups, you see.

Now to bed, good boy!
Shall we risk another no-pampers night? My little man will manage eh?
Or will it turn into a stinky mess like last Sunday?

Don't bother replying. I won't be able to read your post, unfortunately.

We're running into outlandishly OT territory. I hope the mod doesn't mind that much, but I have to remind my good friends of serious issues.

To me she looks like she´s got a kick into her face, fat lip and all. No, she´s cool, but this is a beauty contest, no ?
And Salma Hayek has to big boobs.
Sorry, girls !

Salma Hayek runs in the MILF/GILF category. She's 51. Still quite shapely, don't mean no offense, ma'am, I mean I could make time for you one of these weekends but... sorry, Salma!

Not to sound bearish, but looking at the charts it's clear that the pump started in earnest on 11/24 @ ~$8200.

So we could end up revisiting that level at some point. Which would still be healthy and wouldn't end this upward trajectory.

Also, the conspirator in me says that the pumpers planned to dump ahead of The Big Bang Theory episode. I guess they don't want 3M new Average Joes to jump in to bitcoin. Got to keep them far away.
Got my buy orders ready to roll. Jimbooooo, you woke up yet?   Grin

3) Have Emily Ratajkowski as your wife. Put up with her body and her shit for the rest of your life with no option for divorce, ever.


Pretty girl no doubt, but beauty never lasts forever. And even if it did, the average male mammal needs change at least once in a while. Ever felt abnormal desire for a woman, even if she's objectively less attractive than your wife/gf? I know I did. Uh, I mean, I do.

So if I had to choose a millionaire's dream, the only choice that would make sense for me in that slot would be

3) be able to pick a woman of the month (or in moderation: of the semester) from a panel of candidates guaranteed to contain at least one or two you consider quite attractive - even if not incredibly so as Emily or Miss Prettybutt (thanks, Lightfoot).

Now you're just being greedy!
Some greed is good, confirmed sources tell me.

I'm liking this correction a lot. Small enough until now not to be a source of worry, but significant enough to paint a thin layer of reality over our breathtaking bull run. It does look more legit now, doesn't it?

So I was just referred to Bitclub by someone I trade bitcoin with in meat space, says he was introduced to it through his father who is some kind of business person who knows the owners personally. I have no reason to doubt he believes what he told me, but even so, anyone know anything about it? Safe(ish) to invest in?
The way I see it, cloud mining is a flawed business model (for the subscribers, not for the sellers).
If mining is indeed profitable, why should they sell a slice of their profit for a fair price?
Either the price is unfair, or it is just a scam.

Of course, they might be selling shares of the mining profit for fiat money immediately needed for maintenance, or for acquiring new gear and so on, but it's a very long shot. I'd imagine they should have their cash flow under check if they're so successful. And I've never heard of current mining gear being sold on credit. On the contrary, it is usually paid before delivery - often much too long before delivery.

TL;DR I reckon you'd be better off investing your subscription fee directly in bitcoin.

Just got an email from Xapo:

Quote
Hi xxx,

As we informed you in previous communications, we are approaching the December 14th deadline in which you’ll need to convert your Bitcoin Cash (BCH) balance that was generated during the August 1st fork to BTC.

Our Terms of Use clearly state that the only digital currency supported by Xapo is Bitcoin (BTC). If you want to store, transfer and/or use any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, you cannot do so through the Xapo Services. If, as a consequence of a “fork” (as such term is commonly known in the bitcoin industry), Bitcoin holders are granted with equivalent or proportional amount of the new digital currency or values that are not Bitcoin, Xapo shall not have any obligation, whatsoever, in connection to such new digital currency or value.
(SNIP)

Rekt.
They lost my custom for their BCH/S2X support. Are they turning their cloak now that they see failure?

Juvenile karma warriors babble new age mumbo-jumbo-jimbo while improperly addressing their very aware seniors.

Boys will be boys until they aren't. I feel mild about that anyway.

Corn approaching next power of ten - five figures helps with the mildness.

Various harmonious body parts quoted for posterity also help.

Here's for posterity.

This time I was much calmer. The day my Bitcoin stash was first worth over $1mCAD, I spent $1.2k on a new ultra-light powerful bass amp (bought with fiat) and had a few beverages.
Terribly OT, I know, but which ultra-light amp was that? I'm still looking for one that delivers, and I get little joy (power-wise) from my GK.

I tender an additional item for your consideration. While many people have 'JOBs', others have careers. Meaningful work can be part of what makes life worth living. I'm just saying that there may be additional considerations more important than simply hitting the 'fuck you money' threshold.

(SNIP)
Sure, of course, there are other factors, too, but sooner or later, you are going to hit a kind of threshold that it does not make any sense to keep working.
Well, it depends. Imagine working to build schools for the unschooled in unlucky parts of our planet. Or developing drugs that can save lives. Or assessing wannabe porn stars. It's not only about the money.

I know we shouldn't really talk about alts but what do you guys think about Monero? Wondering if i should snag some....
My opinion, based on general life considerations rather than actual financial analysis or pump'n'dump mechanics understanding: Monero has value and its price keeps climbing because it has real use cases. The anonimity it provides can't be matched by Bitcoin as it is now.

However, I think this gap will shrink and possibly shut off completely with L2 and L3 solutions. There are already 2 or 3 technology advances that promise to offer as much anonymity as any other coin. If (when?) that happens, I expect Monero to tank. That would be a medium term move - medium in crypto terms: I'm thinking months, not years. There should be ample time to get out of it gradually as it bleeds value back into Bitcoin.

I am no oracle. This is just my personal, biased opinion.

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

46000+ unconfirmed tx's... and only 20BTC in fees. Average of 3 cents per TX.... Sounds totally legit.
I wish someone with time and a few extra satoshis on their hands would bother to spend a couple of weekends spamming the BCH network, just for the demonstrative lulz.

Strange pattern this weekend: lots of shilling by newbies or outright new accounts, but without the serious pump&dump action we are accustomed to.  Someone out of sync possibly?

On a related note, censoring jbreher's posts was less than wise IMO. He's still an apostate living out of the Grace of Bitcoin, but some of the points he makes contain enough thought to deserve discussion (and civilized flaming, including the occasional f'off).

God that Jim Cramer is such a 2-faced weasel. I hate that guy. Such a punchable face.

He can't help it. A media person, you know. That's what they do for a living. The show must go on.
