@JJG but there is always some exceptional case in sports where the vegan player stays on top. I am aware of only one such player, Indian Cricketer Virat Kohli

I am far from convinced about the health benefits of veganism.. including the necessity to somehow get all essential fats in a vegan diet through plants or some bullshit, when those essential fats are frequently already present and largely already bio-available (without having to take a bunch of bullshit supplements) in various kinds of meats

google "avocado fats" : 21-29g fat in a ~150g vegetable. That's a lot and those are 'good fats' of a variety that increases HDL.

That said, I have nothing against meat. Overall, for older people it is perhaps beneficial to slowly transition to less red meat.

Not a vegetarian, but that about piece about libido it utter bs.
Bonobos f-k all the time, they are mostly vegetarians; we are very close to bonobos (judging by our "activities" and genetics).
Therefore, I proclaim (in the absence of any real evidence to the contrary) that vegeterianism does not affect the libido.
Perhaps, it even increases it, lol.

Also close to chimps (chimps and bonobos being subspecies of the same recent ancestor). You know the difference between bonobos and chimps? When they meet, the chimps fucking murder the soy-apes.

For the technically minded, bonobos are very hard r-types. Chimps are K's. It's rabbits vs wolves. Quantity vs quality.

Check on your knowledge of K-type and r-type, perhaps?

Mice (and other rodents) are r-types (lots of progeny, few survive).
Apes (all of them) are K-types with few progeny (together with elephants, whales, parrots and eagles).

A very good point:

Bitcoin is a universal unit of measurement

Just like 1 meter always = 100 cm, 1 bitcoin always = 100,000,000 sats

Using the dollar to value things (incl. BTC) makes little sense as its supply always changes

Imagine trying to measure smth if a meter constantly changed in length

In fact it would be like the meter constantly lost value. It would be like the surface area of your house kept increasing year after year, day after day! Tongue

Well, when I priced a house 1.5 years ago, it was significantly less btc than today, so is btc as a unit shrinking?
That whole argument is bs UNTIL we will start transacting for goods in btc.
As long as fiat is the main transactional venue, we might have to postpone purchasing large items with btc.

TL;DR how could it be a universal unit of measurement when it produces different measurements of the same item.
It is not bitcoin that changes, it is the house???

P.S. Mahmudov brothers are infamous for these gobbledygook exclamations while presumably shorting btc.

If you wanna say "Hi" to CSW, he's here :

Well, I don't know who else would pay that much for an empty wallet... Seems like a bit of a dumb plan, though. Archived in case the post is deleted.

If you had lots of dodgy bitcoins.

A wallet that mined 300 bitcoins in the old days could be a viable "source" when explaining them at cash out


right?



proving the legitimacy of my coins...



I understand the reasoning, but we shouldn't have to, otherwise btc usefulness would be diminished.

In other news, what is WO take on giving btc to your own children? Worth it or idiotic since they don't know how to hold it safely?

Interesting stat: Belgium has a very high divorce rate (70%).

Nothing wrong with divorce.

True, but it won't add years to your life (in most cases) and would not make you richer (on paper) as well.
Guys would be limited in children visitation rights (and, yes, in more than 90% cases children stay with mom).
It's all theoretical, as I never divorced.

The odds of a marriage in the US today lasting for ten years is about 3%.

More like 50% or even 60-70%:

Ok I stand corrected.  Hard Brexit date now 12 April.

It might extend all the way to 2020, or not.
Read somewhere that UK loses 1 bil pounds a day on this.
In case of brexit, UK would probably try to become an offshore capital of the world with a focus on EU.
I see a bunch of French and maybe German money relocating there.

As part of 226 slides presented to the SEC on our ETF filing,....

Causing a surge in p--n watching originating from the demonstration room. /s

In other news:
1. Fiat market celebrated yield curve inversion (and NEGATIVE rate on 10 year German bonds) by crashing a bit less than 2% on the Dow.
2. Blockfi weaseled out (as expected). Not going to bother even to ask them any questions. Irrelevant.

Scienceguy9489 predicts btc move to 28K.
https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/03/21/crypto-bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-litecoin/

Interesting charts. It seems that ltc had almost exactly the same chart as BTC, wiggle for wiggle, until it started surging up a few weeks ago.
We are still in a flat more or less.

cheers to those who bought the z9

hope yall never ROI when the z11 comes out

rinse and repeat

I earned my money back on my Z9-Mini within three weeks.
Bought it with LTC and mined on Mining Pool Hub, auto-exchanging back to LTC.  LTC now isn't worth as much in fiat as it was then ($160/LTC) but I did earn back my initial investment, coin-for-coin.  Of course being lucky with a first batch helped.  Anyone ordering a short time later was S.O.L.  Not saying the manufacturer is greatawesomewonderful (I think their marketing practices are borderline criminal), rather highlighting alternative thinking in regards to return on capital.  Mining returns need not always be measured in USDollars.

hmmm I measure mine in USD.  I have....36 Z9 and they have been paid for awhile now. 

Check your "math" again.
No way and no how Z9 (not mini) first batch paid for itself.

Is the Z11 already sold out or has it just not started selling yet? At $1242 it's sub 100 day payback, though that's gonna change very quickly once these ship. Also it looks like zcash will fork in Oct? https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/the-final-nu2-blossom-network-upgrade-goals/32449

90% of equihash mining rewards is zcash, if it forks this asic is worthless. There's only 5 months of mining time till the fork.

There will not be 100 day payback or even 300 day payback.
These machines would be unprofitable, unless ZEC goes up 400%, in which case you could just buy ZEC outright.

It seems like most people don't give much f... about ETFs anymore.
In February, the SEC asked the public to send comment letters... apparently it only received 7, six of which were against the VanEck SolidX ETF.

Here are the 7 letters they received :

https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2019-004/srcboebzx2019004.htm

1. Nobody cares about ETF.
2. Nobody cares about their idiotic never ending procedure.
3. Nobody cares about discussing a subject with morons (aka most of letter writing nincompoops). One even went as far as white paper discussion (in a letter to SEC, lol).
