Unless it was an exchange/API glitch, someone just scored a whale's breakfast of coins with zero slippage. Well played.

Over 7k coin dump to go down a buck and a half and immediately bounce back up?

Hidden orders are BS. Phony as shit.

Hilarious though. Was that the megadump the bears where saying would crash us under $200?

LOL

Only one microSD chip? I hope you mean per off-site location.

As for Tarmi's linen, at least it can be used to wipe your ass, unlike the hologram and microchip infested plastic abomination we call "banknotes" here in Canada.

Paper money and paper wallets are really misnomers. They're both made of plastic these days.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Glad to see that last night's DDoS attack was short-lived.

Still going sideways I see. It doesn't seem to want to stay over $250 or under $240.

Yawn.

Now that Chartbuddy has achieved 700 activity points and is eligible for Legendary status, I nominate it for immediate promotion.

Thank you Richy_T.

There's a world of difference between policemen/politicians and judges. Judges are bosses while cops and politicians are just servants.

It's an almost cyclic hierarchy. Small local gangs may intimidate members of the general public but are easily trumped by larger international organizations like the Crips or Hell's Angels, who are in turn trumped by the police.

The police in turn are trumped by lawyers who are trumped by judges (right up to the Supreme Court).

The judges (at least here in Canada) are appointed by politicians who ultimately must answer to the general public on election day.

What makes it a hierarchy and not just a circle jerk is the fact that despite being appointed by politicians, judges can overrule them and declare their legislation void. This is why I consider them to be bosses while the cops, lawyers and politicians are just servants.

Yes, you can avoid paying taxes if your accountants and lawyers can convince a judge that you shouldn't have to pay, despite what the politicians and cops have to say.

To me this is basic and essential to any democracy.

JMHO

I find people who inherit wealth to be boring.

Self-made rich people are almost always intelligent, entertaining, hospitable and fun.

It's their spoiled offspring with their sense of entitlement who are boring and annoying.

Smart man.

My biggest mistake was to only buy hundreds rather than thousands of coins when I had the chance.

Now I have to be content to just buy a few coins now and then as my budget allows. My last purchase of >10BTC in a single day was in mid-January and I had to reallocate funds from other areas to accomplish that. I'm not poor but I'm not rich either.

With John Dunsworth and Patrick Roach playing the parts of Carl Mark Force IV and Shaun Bridges.

And of course Mike Smith as Mark Karpeles.

I should have known better than to expect an intelligent conversation with a worthless troll.

Sigh.

Every time I buy on the dips, I'm averaging my price up, even when I bought at $175 mid-January.

No, I'm not an early adopter (any more than we're all early adopters). I paid double digits for most of my coins, triple digits for some. Never have I paid single digits or pennies.

De facto same thing. The government is merely a bunch of servants of the Canadian populace, not their bosses. The courts can tell the government to F off any time they wish, and frequently do. Nobody likes insubordinate servants.

As for the monarchy, it has been close to being abolished for decades. Most Canadians see it as a quaint relic from the past. Impotent, not important. No big deal.

You mean just as every time the American Federal Reserve Bank creates money out of nothing to finance the military-industrial complex, that wealth is taken out of the pockets if everyone who saves in US dollars?

At least the Bank of Canada is owned by the Canadian public, not a privileged elite like the owners of the Fed, and the recipients of the funding are engaged in building and maintaining infrastructure designed to educate and provide medical and other essential services to people, rather than killing and imprisoning them.

The Star is Toronto's highest circulation daily newspaper, with a slightly left-of-center political viewpoint.

It is very mainstream and basically middle class. It contrasts to the lowbrow extreme right-wing blue-collar Sun, the right-wing white-collar Post and the centrist white-collar/academic Globe and Mail.

I almost forgot to mention the voice of the extreme left-wing, Now which unlike the others is a weekly.

Perhaps we could petition Theymos to reinstate it.

Perhaps we could have a referendum, one vote per activity point.

Indeed

One more for The List.  ^

Give it a rest Jean.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still going sideways I see.

Still a trollfest I see as well.

Ho freakin' hum. Extra coffee please.

Actually, I saw more black people with African accents than south or east Asians.

Toronto is very multicultural, a city of immigrants. Traditional white anglophone natives have been the minority for years.

We're more of a mosaic than a melting pot.
