I do have a few gripes about Plex needing to check the central servers even for local-to-local requests (WHY!?).
I have similar reservations. Such things always end up becoming monetized and turning to shit. |

I don't get the reference.
The Wachowski brothers decided to become the Wachowski sisters. |

The problem with that is how are you going to arrange those 24 words into a key? You CAN... using a little math, but it's not easy for most of us.
You can enter the words into a hardware wallet just like a backup. |

Here. That'll be 30k. Uh, I mean 300k.  Yeah...but which one is it? Lol I actually changed the "or to" to "of"  I spent several hours this afternoon just trying to come up with some odd combinations. Possibly it has revealed to me the entity behind the deep state. This, though is what I got when I asked for a Giger/Escher mashup.  |

Printing the BIP-39 words and draw them from a hat can't be messed with and is rather fool proof. The seed words are just concatenated and then hashed. There are plenty of other ways a seed with enough entropy and randomness could be generated. Rolling a die would be pretty hard to beat. |

I want an NFT to a native American cave wall painting. Or to Neil Armstrong's boot print on the moon. Here. That'll be 30k. Uh, I mean 300k. |

We have standards here
We do? I'm sorry. I'll get my coat... |

From hypnogram for "Bitcoin Mania". Hidden prediction revealed by AI?  I also asked it for a bored gorilla and got one for free  |

I thought Wachowski had already chosen no banana. Or was that the joke? |

I figured as much.
I remember catching the 2nd movie on my birthday at the cinema about 20 years ago.
1 was the first DVD I bought ever and is still one of my favorite movies. I had it shipped across the atlantic. For 2, my wife was out of town when it dropped so I went to a midnight showing. What a disappointment. They lost me at the never-ending rave scene. I did end up watching 3 but I think it was a computer monitor experience. I don't have zero interest in 4 but I'm not feeling any inclination to watch it. |

you are lucky they couldn't withdraw any thing, now you need to do some investigation... for sure someone knew you have bitcoins :p
if you find any thing please share with us so we could be more vigilant.
Hackers might not know in advance whether you have bitcoin for sure, and they might be confused about who you are or various kinds of participation in clubs, but if they get access to one or more of your e-mail accounts, they might be able to see some of your e-mails that could show those kinds of things... so maybe they get into one of your e-mail accounts first and do some exploring.. however, from my earlier experience with my early 2017 sim swap and hacking of various accounts, it seemed pretty clear from me that there was some kind of team behind how fast they had appeared to have been doing various things and I would even get them locked out of some accounts and they would get back in.. .. lasted for quite a while and some weird stuff that I do not even want to talk about... at least not at this time, and it has been nearly 5 years ago.. fuck.. Let's not forget that at least Ledger and this very forum amongst probably many others have been subject to attacks that have leaked email addresses. That likely provides a very fruitful pool to start from. |

You are referring to andreas antonopolis? or someone else? You are referring to a recent example? I remember the charity situation for andreas a few years ago... but I am not sure about your reference here.
The very same Why would you not want me to get caught up on the percentages? That was my whole point to get caught up on the percentages. Yes, I know that people have total discretion regarding what they do, and even if they do dumb stuff, but if we give analysis regarding different kinds of ways to think about the matter, then we are discussing and hopefully being helpful to people (and sure maybe even helpful to myself to go through the exercise).
Percentages are useful in some cases, less so in discussions like this. A house is $X, You have BTCY which is worth $Z, you are probably targeting particular values to own or buy. Percentages are not especially meaningful in these contexts. The question is "should they be happy with what they still have?" which can only be answered on a personal level.
That's ridiculously a different topic than what I was attempting to discuss... so just seems weird that you want to go there. Not really. I just recontextualized it. If you got why I said what I did about percentages, this follows on. I never look at my sells in terms of percentages, merely if I am happy with the amount of $ I am getting for my BTC and whether I am happy with the amount of BTC I have remaining (though it would always be nice to have more, of course). |

If you have access to debt instruments you should attempt to use those to the extent reasonable....
Debt is risk and obligation. How much that is acceptable will depend on your personal viewpoint. However, many people do not treat it this way and then get all surprised when things go wrong. This doesn't apply if you're a large corporation, of course. In that case the government just bails you out. By the way, I did a quickie approximation in my spreadsheet to find that payments for such Lambo would be around $11,500 per month to pay off such $600k-ish loan in 5 years and the payoff amount would reach around $692k after the interest is calculated into the payoff amount.
Debt also accumulates. So that's 100k on top of your original payment. Now, you may be expecting Bitcoin to appreciate to more than offset that in the intervening years but so also goes the thought processes of the gambler who is just needs to borrow 200 to put on an accumulator and pay of what he owes so that "Jimmy the hammer" won't remove his kneecaps. Debt is also fungible. If you have a large quantity of Bitcoin and borrow to buy something frivolous, consider whether you would have borrowed that money to buy Bitcoin. No? Well, you may as well have. I will at this point state explicitly that I am not anybody's mother and they can handle their finanaces how they please. I am just giving my angle on the matter. |

Getting back to the enjoying the value now, I can appreciate that there can be quite a bit of value in that, but in bitcoin we have seen a lot of examples of guys cashing out way too much bitcoin too soon because they believe that the bull run is over, and we sometimes will see that at previous ATHs where the price passes through and never comes back down, but we see it at other sticking points and it could take a year or two years or even longer to recognize that the BTC price is highly unlikely to come back down to those levels... saw that in the $400s in early 2016, saw that in the $2-3ks in mid-2017...and some people still waiting for sub $10ks from 2020.. and that ship seems to have sailed.. just like $55k could end up being one of these price points as well.. hard to know at this point because we surely have been visiting and passing through $55k quite a bit since February.
Well, he does still have a substantial quantity left by current standards and he hasn't gone full fiat like a certain person occasionally known by 'AA' did so he's still good. I wouldn't get too caught up in the percentages as 25% of X is only 12.5% of 2X and so on. The question is "should they be happy with what they still have?" which can only be answered on a personal level. Bear in mind also that they may have placed themselves in a better position to continue to accumulate bitcoin which, while slightly weaker overall, may be well worth it for the improvement of quality of life. |

Wait, I missed that bit... 400k @2.75%? So they're paying interest? So they sold off a bunch of bitcoin and are still in debt? WTF indeed. |

Peercoin! Now ranked #820  Down roughly 99.8% against BTC since 2013 I think I have some if anyone wants some. Spent a few days mining on one of those multipool sites. |

I thought that my point had more to do with how much he was cashing out all at once.. which was 25%, and my whole speal was an attempt to show another way to justify how much to cash out, and my conclusion would have ended up with cashing out less than 1/4 what he did... ..
Yes, perhaps it is a mite much. But he still has 75% left (technically now 100%  ) and for the most part has significantly permanently upgraded his life (ignoring what was presumably ~1BTC or more on that bit of nonsense which is the flash car). It surely is magnificent to hold and watch the number go up but at the end of the day, there has to be some point to it. Though, personally, I'd much rather be using Bitcoin to make the purchases than "cashing out". |

I sold 2 old RX-580's for $500 apiece a couple months ago just because its retarded.
RX580 is currently my best card. It's in my VR rig which I have taken to playing Cyberpunk on as my main gaming PC just wasn't up to it (the 580 is a bit borderline TBH). |

Cerner's financials say that their Total Debt to Equity ratio (FY) (%) = 29.81.
Which means that out of that $28.3B equity valuation, they have $8.3B in total debt outstanding. If you believe the valuation estimate, that's still nearly a third of the company that is all debt! And over the past 4 years, their accumulating debt had been growing at a much faster rates than their profits. Which means they were on track to eventually going belly up.
It's possible Oracle wants key technologies or even employees. I agree that there's way too much money sloshing around though. |
