Well I just spent an hour of my life trying to install Minecraft for a child.
After endless loops of “unknown error”, “ there was an error processing your credit card transaction please try again” and “there are no devices associated with your Microsoft account”, despite the fact that the device that I was on being clearly associated with the account in the account settings, I have given up. Much harder to use than bitcoin
Child was disappointed. Fuck you Microsoft.
Yup, Fuck M$! Days wasted on dependencies for Civ 6. M$ has tied every dependency to haveing telemetry type updates mandatory for C++ libraries. I eventually installed Linux in a VM just for the game and even the Opengl version is a bitch to setup.
GF needs to get a job and buy the dip.
Told my gf yesterday she is done shopping. BTC is too low. She was ok with that.
Good girl!  My gf of 10 years (we are early 30’s - got together young) is currently in the phase of telling me that I ruined ‘our lives by not selling when it was $19,000’.
Tell her you intend to ruin your lives by not selling at $250k either. This would drive her batshit crazy! I have decided to write about what have been my errors during the past bull run and subsequent downtrend till now.
First and foremost, when the time comes take some fucking profits. It doesn't need to be huge and it certainly would vary depending the individual circumstances but take some. It will make you feel better during the bear trend. It may be as low as 5%, 10%.... maybe a bigger amount if you plan to "gamble" on rebuying later in the downtrend.
How do you know when the time has come? Well, hitting a perfect top is just a matter of luck but, hitting somewhere NEAR the top is much more easy:
- You start receiving calls from nocoiners that are now suddenly interested in investing. They usually ask you for advice on what coins are a good buy... because Bitcoin is already too expensive you know....
- Exchanges can't cope with the demand. The trading engines not only lag extremely, but the verification queue for new users are weeks or even months long. Some even stop accepting new users.
- You start to feel that the rise has reached completely ridiculous levels and it should implode.... But since you already thought that a few thousands ago... why would it not keep pumping much more? Yeah, you feel like you are going to be richer than your wildest dreams!
- You start to feel not only as if you did a great investment but as if you had just hit some fucking and totally undeserved big lotto prize.
- You feel that the price has come so much higher than you would have expected (in that short timeframe) that, even when the necessary "correction" comes, the bottom will still be so high that you won't care about not having sold ANY... Because, you know, this time (tm) Bitcoin is so well known and popular that price would not decimate, maybe not even halve (and of course that $10K you never expected to be broken so soon nor so easily will act as an ultimate support in the worst case, yeah!).
I could add more signals of when the top has been reached or is very near, but I guess that's more than enough to get the idea.
This is getting long, so I think I will better be writing this as a series of posts... Some ideas I have in mind about more mistakes I did and how to improve on them are:
- Realizing you are in a clear downtrend and what to do during it.
- Hedging with alts during the bullrun, near the top, and on the downtrend. Hedging with stablecoins (ie USDT).
- Managing exchanges and FIAT ramps for profit (diversify risk and get them all ready well in advance)...
- Lending
I am writing this as advice for my future self, but hope it gets useful to someone else. Will continue.

I don't see "normal" lab meat not becoming mainstream, but I wonder if people would remain put off from human meat if the biggest deterrent (killing humans) is removed.
It seems gross to me on a more emotional/impulsive level, but rationally speaking I don't see anything speaking against it.
Isn't cows eating cows theorized as the vector for mad cow disease? Feeding them the brains of infected cows passes the disease. BTW these fucking hats don't work but whatever.  |

I decided that I would sell all my Monero coins and buy Ethereum, it seems to me that it is much more promising and will be able to show much more growth than Monero does. Which coin do you think is stronger? Something I stopped believing in Monero, too many competitors.
You are a moron, that ship is sinking to never come back. But you are only in it for the profits so Bye bye. |

 F*** i'm sick AF, sitting home and my two main poker bro's are playing HU, normal i'm there, hope to be better next week....  (offcourse cause we play for BTC the stacks are in different calculations ....) its not 20 and 5 bucks.... f*** they really just started whitout me  have to rail and watch @home i like the avatars haha LoL have to start my earnings next week i guess Shit I said I wouldn't look at the price till I got home but no I had to take a peek. Dammit. So is that btc on the table? If so you guys play some high stakes. And you said it's a home game so you are all in the same room just using that software? that's pretty cool, I like to look my opponents in the eye so I have never played online. Got smashed with a 3 outter for a butt ton and had to take some time off, Omaha PLO can get to some pretty high stakes! I'll be playing for the next 8 hours or so and then head home for the weekend. A few guys were talking about 3 card poker at the table and I may look into it, all I know about it is from the movie Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels (one of my favorites). They really capture what happens when you get smashed for everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56jekYL2h7k |

Don't forget that you need to get the bitstream from the devs with time to roi as well.
sure, we get ours after all the farms that pay for private bitstreams and regulars guys in secret bitstream clubs are done. then after that, the pions like me will get the public bitstreams, just in time for reletive scraps.. IOW, same old same old but now with fpgas.  |

last bull run gpus were almost impossible to get. and thats with nvidia and amd shoveling them out the door as fast as they could. if this happens again.. well there are a lot less fpgas to be had than there were gpus. having a few fpgas and knowing their limitations, strengths and needs will make a big difference. try building a good fpga or fpga boosted gpu based system without knowing what they need or how they function.. have fun. sure guides for noobs will come out but too late for many.
Ya but what about the fact that most coin dev's are doing what they can to keep asic and fpga's off their chain fpga's will never be a decentralized miner until one come's out that don't cost $4000-$5000 especially right now once they start flooding the chain profits are going to be shit and it'll take 10 years to ROI fpgas will come down in price, i mean an midrange acorn is what $300? ..cheap to get your fpga feet wet. and as for the race against devs changing algos.. well algos need a lot of testing, you dont just whip something up and risk the future of a coin on some new algo thats possibly faulty or can be gamed. in a race between fpga coders vs devs coming up with algo after algo? ill bet on the fpga coders. if my bet is wrong.. oh well. Don't forget that you need to get the bitstream from the devs with time to roi as well. |

For many people, anonymity is a big downside. There are lots of people who like the idea of public transactions because of the “got nothing to hide” mentality and they feel public transaction information would prevent people from getting ahead that aren’t abiding by the rules as stringently. XMR needs to come up with decent sales pitch.
Everyone can reveal their transactions. They can hide nothing if they want. But they also dont need to be afraid to get dirty coins. That is big problem of transparent ledger coins. You and exchanges and everyone else have to make extra effort to be sure what kind of Bitcoins he got. With Monero you have zero worries since each Monero is totally same as all the rest. @cool4y, This is called fungability. It is the most important aspect of a privacy coin. |

Is there a thread on this, on the surface it seems a sane thing to do as it will rupture any fractional reserve schemes. And I would think it would disrupt derivative markets as well as a large percentage would probally not return those coins once they are safely in their control. AFA Doxing yourself well thats what mixers and new addresses are for, Or am I missing something? This video is unavailable. |

I am more pessimistic than I would like.
However, I always try to edit out my own wishful optimism and focus on an unbiased objective view.
I always did the same thing in stock trading forums etc.. The odd thing is, my actual trading is more optimistic, and I tend to hold back in hope and compromise a little, rather than fully carry out the hard realistic trades. When I look back at my own posts I usually wish I had followed my own advice more closely.
Its kind of like I am second-guessing myself, or splitting my personality. Seems to generate profit in practice, over the long term. Hopefully I'm still sane.
I wonder if any other posters recognize that method in themselves ?
I am the same, I tend to give a more objective recommendation when I do but add risk to the optimistic and supportive side when I make a move. Which usually is a detriment to myself but does make me feel better about myself as I put Ideology above greed and I believe you are doing the same. |

^ Dash was never a 'no.1 coin' in anything, being somewhat of trying to be a privacy coin or otherwise. They're good at 'marketing' tho...  But I'm not really sure how they're good at it today. They seem to have faltered. Not true, they originated the masternode, which is the pinnacle in gimmicky greed. Apparently Duffield understood the largest target market for cryptocurrencies long before anyone else. He may be slimy as fuck, but he understands the psychology of greed. +1 MS sM |

This is not even remotely unexpected. Its more than correct and obvious. Im sure that they already start watching this coins from very beggining. And now some sites just are publishing info about it.. Its expected though. Not only watching, but using. |

and if anyone can figure out how to post the damn clock instead of just a frozen screeny, I'll merit you.
Enjoy no need to merit. Just refresh the page and it should update. Consider it a gift for the celebration. I've followed/read most of the thread. Glad everyone gets to see some justice done.  Nice, this needs to be in the OP. |
