I’ve sold several thousand coins here over the last 10 years (and 10x as many outside the forum). I think that may classify me as a coin maker. I’m also still pretty active around here (thanks stake.com). You can find the coins that are still in stock and available for purchase at https://nastyfans.org/mint - tell em Og sent you. 

You just now realizing this? There are people in paid positions on this forum and in DT who have been spreading lies about me and my activity for years. They group up with other trolls and base their personal feelings of worth on whether or not they can inject themselves into discussions and feel important. They don’t care if everything they say is nonsense. Shit, read the stuff Vod said about me over the years. The lack of following up on threats from the administration has turned this forum into a joke in my eyes. The untrustworthy behavior started at the top…

“We must have a physical Bitcoin on our mantle. Otherwise, what kind of family are we?”

Hilarious. Makes me warm and fuzzy to hear stuff like this and I can definitely relate also. I probably paid double the BTC amount for my coins then what they’d sell for today and I don’t regret a thing. I guess if you know you know. 

Pretty awesome. This is going to probably be the first real mainstream showing of our beloved collectibles. I imagine there might be a couple coin collectors out there that see it and decide they must have it. Glad you didn’t sell. Hope you laughed at the offer. I was a fan of the show once upon a time and hope I find myself viewing this episode at some point.

Yes, finally someone is using Bitcoin for it’s transparency! I’ve had to wait 10 years to see the mainstream market mature to catch up with where most Bitcoiners were in 2011. I suspect the hangover from the coming fomo is going to humble them, but if they can stick with it and maintain their values, I think their future is bright.

I wouldn’t say anyone is expecting to see them play. If I thought all the starters were going to play on both teams then I’d be at Staples Center for it (is it still called that?). I do hope we’ll get some glimpses of the players in action so we can see who was working during the off-season.

One thing I do know… This is the last weekend with no nba basketball for a while. Get those chores done you’ve been putting off while you can! 

I know I've grown accustomed to partying pretty hard the first week of November as a result of the Halloween crypto boom.  It always makes that time of year a little extra exciting.  Looking forward to more of the same. 

If the fractal pattern (stock to flow ratio) holds true, this is the last chance to get in before the pump.  I can't imagine the big money pouring in now would allow the stock to flow model breakdown, as that's their bread and butter if they're to convince the world a million dollar BTC in 2025 is a possibility.  That's where the hedge funds are eyeing making their money from Bitcoin, so I expect them to defend that model with a mountain of cash.  A mountain of cash I will be diving into like Scrooge McDuck. 

It’s because it’s not the candle we deserve, but the one we need right now.

Everything continues to go right as scheduled. This is going to be one hell of a month to kick off the quarter we wait four years for. Moment of silence for the leveraged shorts, as they sure need to buy new ones now.

He said that last year… I guess he’s continued to get bigger and stronger, so maybe that’s possible. Personally I think him and Dwight Howard on the court at the same time makes a defensive monster down low. I’m really anxious to see how they fit Carmelo into the game plan. I’m also curious how LeBron is going to handle Carmelo when he misses a few bad shots in a row.

I’ve started telling people to make sure they have a little BTC just in case this end of year runup comes to fruition. You aren’t going to want to be a nocoiner come Halloween and miss out on the fun. I think the ticket is worth the cost of admission. Even for weak hands and short term market players, I think the time is now and hope this isn’t the world’s largest bull trap.

I don’t think he’s gone to the dark side. I think that many of us early Bitcoiners had a vision for Bitcoin that was suddenly railroaded by unnecessary man-implemented limits that turned Bitcoin from something that could free the world from financial oppression, into a get rich quick scheme to assimilate into the existing system. If satoshi were still alive, I think he would be more aligned with Gavin’s desire for Bitcoin’s future than Blockstream’s.

You’re probably right. Maybe Kevin Love will step up after his Olympic catastrophe in the offseason. The one thing that would derail that prediction is if John Wall decides he wants to stay in Houston (he should because of his contract and the Texas state taxes) or if they’re unable to find a taker. I don’t see him accepting a buyout so it’s possible he stays and carries the Rockets to a decent record. We’ll see.

I think I’ve been typing about NFTs too much. My phone is getting a little auto-correct happy on the Ethereum references. Between that and always changing my ‘wouldn’t’ to ‘would’ I think my phone is out to sabotage me. Indeed I meant ETF, as it seems like Coinbase tipped off the market with their now deleted tweet.

Any predictions on what team will come in last place? I think Houston might be a good selection as they deal with the James Harden fallout and now trying to find a new home for John Wall… The Cavaliers seem stuck in the LeBron James hangover still. Kevin Love won’t let them buy him out and I don’t think his heart is in it anymore. That team is a mess and probably will be for another 2-3 years.

I really like BullsOnTheBlock for their airdrops, DAO, altcoin, & staking. It seems like they’re doing a lot behind the scenes to give their tokens use cases.

I also like BitBones for the work they’re doing in the metaverse as well as their rewards to token owners through airdrops.

I think both of those projects have a bright future, and the floor on both happened to rise by 300% yesterday.

I read the article when it came out. I think Gavin Andresen is a really intelligent person and his thoughts would be wise to be taken into account. His value to the Bitcoin project in it’s early days can’t be overstated and I think his vision makes a lot of sense. Without some massive changes to how Bitcoin works, this may be the best case scenario.

Always remember that there are thousands of horrible failure stories for every one of these success stories. Do people get rich gambling? Sure. Whether that be with stocks or slot machines, it happens. The odds are that the reverse happens a lot more often. A x200 return is impressive though and respect to anyone who can achieve it. I’d recommend sticking to gambling for entertainment though. Stories like this cost people their homes when they try to replicate it.

The make or break moment is nearly upon us. If the next 40 days doesn’t produce the beginnings of a major bubble, it will start to discourage those of us who have been watching the stock to flow ratio for a couple cycles now.

Luckily it seems there’s news of an approved ETH incoming that seems to be legitimate…

I would agree the Lakers have a ton of talent and should dominate on paper. They still have to learn to play together though. It’s pretty rare for a new team to win the chip right off the bat. Look at the Heatles. With only 4 days to go until their first preseason game, I’m sure they’re putting the work in to get their play styles on the same page.

Asking this question makes me very happy that I have a home that is 100% gas free and if Tesla ever gets their act together and builds my cybertruck there will be 0 gas usage in my life (even grid energy is nuclear here). The idea that someone could make a decision to keep me from driving a vehicle or heating my home makes me extremely happy to have a solar powered and battery backed up residence.
