ETC is likely to have undergone a 51% attack.

I'm accepting donations to Barry Silbert via my usual address.

assholes can try the same on btc?
maybe, but much less likely.

Today we learn that V8 is between 25 and 45 years old.  

Always figured he's a baby boomer...

baby boomers are between 54/55 and 72/73 years old now.

wtf is this haiku thing? you guys are just posting a bunch of three liners without saying anything!

we all got infected with the "haiku fever"...it will pass.

I give it 50:50, although we keep having good weekends and bad Mondays.

Am I allowed to say out loud that I think the Haiku form is shit and pointless? Though full marks for creativity.

They do not speak to me in any way whatsoever. I presume if one is steeped in Bushido it moves one to tears.

Most people here have limericks in their DNA, most of which have 'Nantucket' in there somewhere.

'Tis just a green Sunday game, man.

Allow me a potentially controversial statement:
The cryptoqueen
Bringing balance to the group
We need more females

4 / 7 / 5 is not a thing, brother  Wink

Well the original Japanese form has 7/5/7 moras, not syllables. A long syllable counts as 2 moras, so it could be argued, in principle, that 'queen' is 2... but then 'need' would be 2, too. No way to save that, sorry  Grin

sorry, the site screwed it up, does not know that queen is ONE syllable, apparently.
how many in queeen? maybe two, since it is not a real word, like quee-en?

The program indicates 4 syllables for cryptoqueen (my guess would be cryp-to-que-en) plus 1 for "the"=5, see here:
http://www.haikusyllablecounter.com/
i agree that it is surprising.

EDIT: apparently, the program is faulty as queen is considered one syllable. bad coding.

"The mic's cryptoqueen" would have fixed it, but i am leaving it as is.

Pffff can it be that difficult for me
Gonna try again

you can check the syllable count here:
http://www.haikusyllablecounter.com/

should be 5 7 5

haiku:

Bitcoin on Trezor
Long days passing forever
Joy is coming soon

Dammit send last one
Otherwise it was going to here

Cause thats a real case

Only nano s and blues for my story Roll Eyes

Thanks!
BTW, replacing Trezor with either Ledger OR nano does not break the haiku...it must mean something, lol.

Some of us are investors who mined/bought because we see the value of the technology and support its potential.


Unfortunately, that 'mined' portion is going away as we speak.
This is true for people with more than 6c/kwh electricity price, which is probably the vast majority of geographic locations, at least in OECD countries.

It's EOL, unless BTC moves back above 6K or more.

Being %100 in BTC is just crazy. I know it will pay but... it is crazy  Grin

Being 100% in btc is the same as being 100% AMZN in your stock portfolio.
I believe that btc is THE ONE, but am I 100% sure that it would be the case?
No, as I don't have a time machine.

I employed the following strategy: btc as a core position. Once accumulated, traded only small portions.
Every other crypto asset: research, then buy one time a reasonable amount, without going overboard, don't buy again.
I feel free to trade (sell) the peripheral assets and some were good enough for a chunk of profit last winter, some of which I squandered by recycling back into crypto.

20%-30% of not happening I will have to deal with that...

I am going to do the most risky bet of my life (which is not much to say as I am extremely conservative) based on that perception. Wish me luck Smiley

I will probably be ok even if I am wrong or things doesn't happen as I do expect as the most probable outcome.

Careful.   We may go much lower in the interim.  Do not put yourself in a position where you are overinvested and feel you have to cut your losses.  Only invest what you are prepared to hold firmly until well after next halvening.  

If you want to be conservative, wait until we break the long term bear line.  2014 suggests we will break it around this price level in October 2019.  

I was clearly overinvested  in Q4 2017. I can hodl it all right now.

I am just going to morgtage again, for second time in my life, for another property that I feel it is clearly well under market price. My regular income cannot cover it, but I do have enough FIAT savings to pay it for almost 10 years even with no income and without having to sell my Bitcoins.

I guess the worst that it could happen is that I would need to sell the property (probably for more than I am buying it)

As I said I am extremely conservative, but it is more risky bet I have ever made in my life. Wouldn't like to have to sell my Bitcoins at a "bad price". But I can perfectly hodl for 5+ years no matter what.

It's just that I thought I would never buy anything on debt/mortgage again (already paid my main home).... but sometimes you don't have any choice if you don't want to miss the train.

If Bitcoin pumps sometime in the next 5 years I will have made the best decision in my life. If it doesn't, I will probably have to sell the property. Hopefully not losing any money, but it will be a failure for me.

Sorry to go into granular details, but if your income cannot support that second (presumably larger) property, how do you know that they will give you a loan?
Based on what? Your savings? Last time I refi, they were real bastards about everything.



Good question. I will ask my father to endorse (is that the right word when a person gets responsible if I don't pay?) me. He (and the bank) knows I have another fully paid property (which is slightly more expensive btw), I ALSO have enough fiat savings to cover more than half of the price of the second one (not counting Bitcoin). Plus the appraisal of the property will probably show way higher value than buying value.

I assume that's enough to approve the loan. I am in a WAY better position than last (first) time, which I already finished paying after 20 years.


I know you recently, but you seem responsible  Cool, but do not involve your father in this financial operation, banks are like the devil.

My father is rich very wealthy. I am not. I don't need to (financially) worry about him. I only need to worry about the outrageous (people don't get rich by being dumb) conditions he will put on me. I have had a first call with him, after the initial no, he called me back to tell me he is going to consider it because he realises it is a clear "trade". Wish me luck Smiley

I wish you to become wealthier than your father (in time).
You would need to make a boundary, though: it is your trade, not his, even if he is peripherally involved.
Old chaps sometimes have a tendency to take over, even unconsciously so.

I keep a large part of my portfolio in most safe investments (or those that I think are safe), which allows me to go crazy on risk on some other parts, albeit risky stock bets seem to mostly not work in the last couple of years.

I am curious: can a pool operator (not of this pool, obviously) divert hash power (overtly) and do whatever he/she pleases without anyone noticing?
I found some references that bitcoin.com and antpool did just that.
