........ these assholes will not stop there.
Next thing they will be telling you how many times you can boil a kettle, or how many steaks you are allowed per year...
They get to decide how fast you can drive soon. All new EU cars are getting fitted with speed-limiters from this summer onwards. Their new cars won't let you exceed the speed limit after that. What's the point of a lambo with a speed limiter in it? https://qbeeurope.com/news-and-events/blog-articles/mandatory-speed-limiters-on-the-way/The European Commission has provisionally mandated that all new vehicles sold in Europe will be fitted with a speed limiter from July 2022.
Speed limiting works by incorporating Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology, which uses either a video or GPS system to detect speed signs and alert drivers if they are going too fast. If the driver doesn’t slow their speed the vehicle will intervene and do it for them. The system doesn’t affect the car’s braking system, though after a series of alerts if the driver doesn’t apply the brakes, the vehicle reduces power to the engine. The car will then naturally slow down to the new speed limit. I am afraid that the trend is clear... welcome to the Brave New World |

........ these assholes will not stop there.
Next thing they will be telling you how many times you can boil a kettle, or how many steaks you are allowed per year... they will probably tax farts if they could.
All to be enforced by a social credit score.
Get ready to eat bugs...
Unless these control maniacs are stopped, they will never ever ever ever stop.
If "hope" is what you got as a solution..... then you, me, all of us are rekt.

Huh, how about that.... it is interesting that they included specifics like .... " Ships at the Taipei Port [in New Taipei] exploded, facilities and vessels all destroyed" read one ticker that ran just after 0700 local time accompanying footage of a worker in full COVID gear disinfecting a workplace at the Presidential Office, according to SCMP. There were other latest news ticker alerts that read "Banqiao Railway Station suspected under arson attack by enemy spies with explosives" " Where did they pull those specifics from ? |

 Wars suck. All of them. They are pretty much always failures by default. Even especially the "freedom" wars of the US and allies, least after WW2. Even WW2 sucked... Wars suck.. SLUT Yeah, but some feels better than others. Not really |

I hear that if you want to get a large loan without actually putting up collateral, the mob has some pretty decent rates?

Cool. I've been thinking about this recently and long-term CGT means it's probably not a good idea to cash everything out in one go. This would only be a good thing if they let you still hodl your bitcoin keys. If not, then no, not a good thing. Pretty sure that you would indeed have to custody your crypto with them.... or at very least sign it off to a contract. ..... and, that leads to the other main thing to be wary of.... and that is the liquidation risk, you would not want super thin LTV with a loan like this... and you would want/need a a lenient window to post collateral. |

Remember....
Freedom of speech = good
Wars = bad
You know, like decent people always have thought.....
Nothing has changed.............................. right ?

Doesn't surprise me Netflix share price is collapsing. Fucking shite "entertainment" on there for the last few years.  Hey, our carefully selected, lovingly crafted Netflix made shows seem to be well loved. Let's just turn the spigot and let sewage flow. I signed up again, so I could watch Ozarks... Pretty quickly ran out o'shit to watch though.. |

Did something happen to ChartBuddy? It looks MUCH better to my eyes, or my eyesight got better... Y-axis stuff work again (similar issue). MYAGA |

Milo is one of the companies I didn't mention the other day, that are keenly interested in the tokenisation of real estate..... makes their life , easier. Plus just imagine the liquidity , globally that can be released by the tokenisation and fractionalisation of real estate which is by definition, one of the most illiquid assets going. Happy and interesting times incoming. |

Currently busy wrangling with the Twitter/freedom of speech thingy.... Aside from the prince, the top shareholders/good guys, at vanguard, morgan stanley and blackrock, are busy "defending" twitter from a "evol billionaire"... lol, and it is nothing to do with the price offered... or the "interests" of shareholders... so I wonder what it could be? maybe they are defending free speech, mega lol. |

<snipped>then he will no doubt be the first to say " I was down half a billion dollars , and now I am up 2 billion dollars" and you are not going to say to him... "bro you ain't in profit until you sell bro"
Of course, I will (if getting $$ is the ultimate aim). It only really matters if you want to use that btc as a collateral, then, yes, mark-to-market, etc, etc. Besides, maybe it was not the fitst buy. M. Saylor bought some at 17K, some at 32K, some at 60K, some at 40K (average about 30-31K, I think). OT: Netflix loses subs, craters in extended time. Watch FB doing the same tomorrow. exactly, prices go up and down, and that is ok, and expected, and inevitable, it is baked into the cake... natural & necessary. The thing is, no one can predict the future. That's why there's the saying "the best time to buy Bitcoin is now." The guy bought 18,600 BTC and then the price dropped 35%. It could have just as easily gone the other way. Endlessly postponing buying BTC in the hope that "the price gets lower," you may end up never buying at all.
In 2-3 years' time, the guy who bought 18,600 BTC could be sitting at a few billion dollars' worth of BTC. It could be the smartest investment he's ever made, even if he's "currently losing"...
I totally agree... However, today he is not "currently losing", he is just currently losing. ( as much as a guy with that much BTC can be considered "losing" lol) [...] The highlighted (and slightly FTFY -- strikethrough mine) part is what I believe most of us are trying to say... Owning BTC is a winning strategy almost by definition. Short-term fiat-equivalent value fluctuations are a known Bitcoin characteristic, which I'm sure the owner of the 18,600 BTC is well aware of. You can remove the quotes from "currently losing" if you wish, but I wouldn't consider that guy a loser. I see your point though. If he were to sell today, he would be losing. And I will raise you and say that if he sells even when the price reaches $100k he will still be losing -- not fiat, but a future value that could be orders of magnitude higher.  https://twitter.com/gregschoen/status/70261648811761665?lang=enThe guy, if it is an individual, or chick, or corp etc, is definitely not a loser imo, not saying that, just y'know, their BTC has less fiat price today, than when they bought it (which is a common predicament for many hodlers for certain periods of time, such is the game) Agreed. Future price may be orders of magnitude higher.... it may not, but it most likely is going to be. "owning BTC is a winning strategy" fuckin' aye it is... 100% , zero argument from me.. I am pretty much a permabull longterm for BTC, in case anyone forgot or didn't know, or it was not clear... but then , it is not religion, and it is ok to discuss what it is, isn't, could be, wont be , etc It is ok, for someone to point out that someone is currently down on their investment, such is the nature of the beast, especially this beast, volatility is its middle name.... and one of the reasons we love it, embrace that shit. ps, for all we know the buyer was one of the sellers in the $67K+ region  |
