I love poppin' them bubbles.

Just got back in to see that we briefly crossed $1000 CAD.



Onward and upward.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we've kept most of last night's gains... $732 on Bitcoin average.

We didn't quite hit $1000 CAD but it was a nice little rise and seems to have leveled out nicely.

Onward and upward.

Seems to be leveling off.

I'm going back to bed. See you at the crack of noon.

Well well well. Just woke up to answer the call of nature and what do I see?

$739 USD / $998 CAD according to Bitcoinaverage.

Great timing but now I don't want to go back to bed.

Keep going or serious retrace?

This is the third time this year we've flirted with a grand Canadian. Will it stick this time?

Indeed. But don't just hold.

Accumulate!

Top o' the mornin' Bitcoinland.

Creeping ever so slowly in the right direction... $714 at Bitcoinaverage.

Time to get moving up again?

Don't sweat it. I actually made reference to it when the price ended up at exactly $699.9. Likewise I don't mind the Salma Hayek pix and I think all non-Americans found the recent election amusing.

I was just playing with Edgar.

Cheers!

LOL I guess I had that coming. Here, I'll let you post my morning greeting.  

It seems there are lots of broken records around here... Donald and Hillary, Salma Hayek, $699.9999, big crash in January, etc., etc.

I shouldn't have centered out the troll for constantly repeating the mantra of "Chain is FIAT money for PnD BTC scam".

That said, you might want to get more up to date. I just had to check my recent posting history and it seems that in the past month I used the term "sideways" exactly twice, made only one baseball reference (the season's over for this year) and never once mentioned coffee.

I suppose some people might find my morning greeting tedious but when the subject came up before, I was surprised how many people were supportive of it so I continued.

I hope it doesn't bug you too much. To the rest of Bitcoinland, enjoy the day.

P.S. I almost forgot to mention, the price of Bitcoin seems stagnant... $705 on Bitcoinaverage at the moment.

Maybe I should mention coffee after all. 

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Looks like we're about halfway back from yesterday's little dip... $704 on Bitcoinaverage.

All that huffing and puffing about the USA election and we're right back where we were.

Indeed.

Bears seem to think everybody paid over $1000 for their coins while bulls assume everybody paid under $100.

Meanwhile, many whales paid under $1.

Overall Bitcoin has increased dramatically over its almost 8 year lifetime. There was only one calendar year in which Bitcoin decreased in price. That was 2014.

It's amazing how some people cling to 2014 as if it were the norm instead of an anomaly.

There's lots of time before Xmas.

It's been going up fairly steadily since the FUDscam ZeroHedge article caused a panic over a week ago. Before that it rose impressively for 2 weeks.

Patience is a virtue. Let's just sit back and enjoy the show.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still sidling along in the $720 range I see... $719 on Bitcoinaverage.

Seems the US election was no big deal after all.

Hopefully we'll see a rise soon.


I'm curious about the Salma Hayek images that you've posted many times. Any specially symbolism involved or do you just like her? Is it her acting? Her cleavage?

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we lost about half of the gains from last night's US "election" results... currently $728 on Bitcoinaverage.

Really, that's not much movement from an event that was supposed to be so important.

For years China has led Bitcoin in not only mining but in trading (even disregarding obvious zero-fee trade volumes).

Do you rally think they give a shit about whether Tweedle Dumber or Tweedle Dumbest won the "election" for some figurehead presidency of some foreign country?

They don't even care about what the Bilderbergers or Bohemian Grovers think, and they're international in scope..

Bricks and concrete? How about barbed wire? 

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still going sideways I see... currently $709 on Bitcoinaverage.

No weekend rally nor dip. Still digesting last week's FUD rumors and awaiting whatever will happen (if anything) with tomorrow's USA "election".

They only accept Canadian dollars where I was playing, so that's what I used to buy what beer I had to buy myself. Between complimentary beers and those bought for me by members of the audience, I don't usually spend a lot on beer when I'm gigging.

As for my gifted satoshis, they're still in my phone wallet. I only spend my bitcoins when i absolutely must. The last I spent was to buy a couple hundred dollars to take to the ballpark back in June. I was able to buy them back a couple of weeks later after the price dipped.

I'll overlook the fact that you're an obvious troll and bite the bait.

Scam? To which scam exactly do you refer? Exchanges scamming people into leaving coins in their trust instead of keeping them securely offline?

That's really not much different than banks scamming people into leaving their money deposited in accounts which yield no appreciable growth while charging fees for the "service" and then lending out said money to 3rd parties at higher interest rates.

There's really no reason to use exchanges. I haven't used a Bitcoin exchange since 2013 when MtGox imploded.  

Some of the coins I acquired since then I mined myself, some I bought directly from other miners, some came from fully anonymous BTC ATMs, some I received for services rendered, and some came from donations.

I even received enough to buy 4 beers as a tip while playing music onstage. Someone in the audience saw my Bitcoin baseball cap, sought me out during the next break and asked if I had a wallet app on my phone. It may not seem like much but the value of those satoshis has quadrupled since.
