Just from the first 15 minutes of watching it was stated the pandemic was in favor of current miners since deliveries of new mining equipment were delayed from being received by those with huge mining farms. Therefore allowing the ones with "old" mining equipment to accumulate more bitcoin in the last month. This was mentioned by the VP of Poolin.
An interesting point of view to see it in this way.

Man that's depressing, lol.

Parece que no contaban demasiado con el pillo de turno …

Thanks man!

Wow, soon to have 5 coins in my badge!

Hope we reach the same amount of digits very soon!

Remember a couple of days ago we had $9,207, and about 5 days ago we had $9,485 (aka a fluke, or was it a "gift"?)....


so maybe rockets are in order.....?


or perhaps, just perhaps, this is all fake?  an illusion?

Pantera Capital Founder and CEO Dan Morehead has predicted there is more than a 50-50 chance Bitcoin goes up “and goes up big”, with a predicted peak of over $500,000 in August 2021.

The San Francisco-based blockchain and cryptocurrency hedge fund founder made the comments in a April 30 letter to investors examining the performance of Bitcoin (BTC) prior to the May 12 rewards halving in comparison to gold, oil, and venture capital.

Initially hesitating to make any kind of prediction, saying he was “of two minds” as to how the halving would affect the price of the cryptocurrency, the CEO acknowledged “if the new supply of bitcoin is cut in half, all else being equal, the price should rise”:

“Bitcoin has historically bottomed 459 days prior to the halving, climbed leading into it, and then exploded to the upside afterwards. The post-halving rallies have averaged 446 days – from the halving to the peak of that bull cycle. In this cycle, the market did in fact trough 514 days before the halving.”

However, Morehead then dropped a bombshell prediction:

“IF history were to repeat itself, bitcoin would peak in August 2021 – at $533,431. Obviously that’s a big IF. That price sounds ludicrous.... Just sayin’ that there’s more than a 50-50 chance bitcoin goes up – and goes up big.”

Funding the Civil War (1861–1865)

The Civil War is America’s deadliest conflict and it cost a staggering $6.6 billion (in 1860’s dollars). President Lincoln postulated that “The result of this war is a question of resources. That side will win in the end where the money holds out longest.”

Did you clear this meme with V8 ?

I think that talk of home defense has more to do with the macro circumstances, and could even relate to defending your bitcoins when they go shooting up in price, while the remainder of supply chains might have issues.  

Of course, hopefully no one knows that you have bitcoins; however, if you are the only one on the block with full cupboards and eating steaks, then some other peeps might wonder why you are living so well, or maybe want to get some of yours.

Sure, we even saw in recent times, that sometimes the police might not be responding to certain kinds of calls, so what you going to do?  You gotta at least attempt to discourage their entrance until the proper authorities might handle it, maybe it takes 12 hours or even longer, such as a few days before they show up?  basic protections could come in handy... specially in 'merica.




I remember Bob had some different purchases and those may have all been handguns,  and I am not sure if any of those were recent acquisitions or if someone like him would have been rethinking his own situation in recent times and changing the kinds of armor that he would have available.  

Of course, if any of us has a bit of space, such as a ranch, then we might have cameras that might warn us, but then gosh bunkers  or even contracting out security might be the kind of pre-citadel stage, and I suppose that I am thinking more about security through obscurity - so a bit smaller scenarios...

But if we get to certain higher levels of hookers, lambos and blow then we might have to consider BIGGER options, and maybe even contracting out some of the security, and those additional considerations .. and sometimes involving security guards can become problematic too, if they turn on you or you cannot determine if they are working with you or against you, and such largess did not work out too well for John McAfee, but then he was in another country with its own level of corruption where the whole system ended up working against him (at least from his version of events).
