By the way jbreher, recently I had mentioned you as a guy who seemed to be having difficulties with unit bias, so hopefully you have recently gotten over gifting bitcoin in 1 coin increments.
I stopped gifting in 1 BTC increments when the $USD value of 1 BTC exceeded the IRS nontaxable gift maximums.

Not to glorify trading, but there are likely ways to learn too, as long as we do not get too greedy, and personally I could not justify more than 10% of my BTC holdings being employed in such direction, yet there are likely some guys (based on their skill set) who might be able to reasonably justify 30% or more of the size of their BTC holdings getting deployed in such trading/hedging plays.
pit pat piffy wing wong wang Nice to see an ole curmudgeon still alive and kicking.  Are you saying that you agree or no? I'm saying thinking you're superskilledtrader (that's the rhetorical 'you', not accusatorially being the JJG you) and risking 30% on any single trade is more likely than not gonna backfire. Maybe not the first time, but certainly at some point. And likely kill you in the end. OTOH, I'm still selling the rip and buying the dip. Like clockwork.

I stumbled upon this beauty: Hodlers: an apology "Still right, still poor" Alphaville wrote an apology to everyone who didn't buy Bitcoin reading the column. Great, satisfying read! Nice find. FTAV: Still right clueless. Still poor. edit: FTAV: Still right clueless laboring inaccurately yet haughtily under disproven axioms. Still poor.

It will be extremely difficult not to sell too early if this happens. I’m still expecting the peak to be in October, so if we are so high so early it will be hard to not start selling. The more and more I see how much buying is on the way, the more I think we could be looking at $500K next year. That will be hard to hold up to.
Yet another virtue of the laddered standing order strategy. It imposes its own discipline.

Funny how Global Warming Climate Change deals always involves huge sums of money for someone. Almost as if the whole notion is just a a shitcoin type of scam, almost eh? "How dare you, BitcoinBunny!"  checks many important aspects of a scamming someone: - inducing stress by fear mongering - time pressure - astroturfing (Greta movement etc) - critics are labeled as bad or crazy people ( holocaust climate change denier, right wingers) - global elite was pushing that shit from day one (politicians, Hollywood stars,..) - "give me money! - "It's your fault!" - "People will die" and much more not for nothing i see and have experienced the human growth go from 2.7 billion to 8.1 billion. So when I was 10 for every person I saw there are now 3. This issue is real. And 100% fixable with two solutions blowjobs and muffs jobs for the next five years. Zero birth rate world wide. Yet it gets zero talk zero media. And I am one of the few people that ever writes about it. I simply dont get why it has zero traction basically anywhere at all. Btw colonize mars and develop the warp drive is the other solution. "global fertility rate stands at 2.25 live births per woman". https://population.un.org/wpp/Publications/Files/WPP2024_Summary_of_Results.pdfPopulation growth has almost come to a halt. (2.0 means zero growth, everything under that means humans are vanishing) The problem you describe is a nothingburger. And even if there were growth we would figure out solutions for any problem via access to education. Education will soon be accessible and free for anyone because of the world wide digitalization (internet, AI etc). But again, there is no significant growth anymore. I will likely be dead, but until we are are 1.95 and shrinking or until we go off planet . I am correct and you are wrong. Math is very simple we are still growing not shrinking or expanding out space. If we start to shrink population or we expand our space you then become correct ☑️ . Don’t argue or gaslight its pretty simple math. Now you could say you think we have enough room and resources to support 10 billion. Well we are getting closer to 10 billion not further. If you consider the earht to be what it is a bis ass terrarium it has a balance to maintain. Ie only x amount of humans and it then fails. so far I still see us gaining on x. so do you. We don’t know what x is I sure as fuck don't I do not think you know what x is. so do you what to play what happens when do we hit x? I don’t. I am certain the world words with under 8.1 billion I watch it work from 2.7 to 8.1 billion I would prefer to back off 8.1 billion not search for the max number and then crash and burn 🔥 Malthusians. Wrong, year after year. Since... well... long before the birth of Malthus. Sorry, Phillipma. Just calling it like I see it.

... the one who got worms in his brain and because of that killed a bear and left it in Central Park NY next to an old bicycle thinking that people would think that the bear was really killed by some crazy cyclist...
Maybe the bear was the crazy cyclist trying to make his escape.  Isn't there a zoo in Central Park? It is too easy to get bogged down in the poor skills with which the bear is engaging in bicycling, without stopping to wonder in the fact that the bear is bicycling at all.

You forgot the part where he willingly tried to hire a hitman (who was an undercover agent) to kill someone.
Never entered into evidence. It was entered into evidence, the charge was dropped in 2018. OK, Entered into evidence, then dismissed WITH PREJUDICE. Wonder why a prosecutor would engage in such a tactic? Whatevs. Do you have a reasonable hypothesis on what the backstage to this show might have been? Or a sensible guess? Or a crazy, tinfoil hat one? My only take (I've not studied the issue in depth) is somewhere between sensible guess and tinfoil hat: to wit - likely entrapment.

Yeah, just imagine one millionth of all silver.
...which has been worth less than 21 BTC for a couple of weeks now.

Ross who?
Some guy serving multiple life sentences for creating a website to fill public demand. You forgot the part where he willingly tried to hire a hitman (who was an undercover agent) to kill someone. Never entered into evidence.

As someone who never sold or took profits since the purchase in 2013, what yall think of the idea to sell 1% at every 10k+?
Life is for living. Money is for experiences. Just don't go all crazy-ass and splash out in an orgy of overconsumption. Welcome back, Jbreher! Haven't seen your bear avatar in a while. How are things going? Thanks. Can't complain. Although I will - to grandkids and friends.

WB, jbreher, long time no log.
And a tip o' the hat in return, my fellow traveler.

Speaking of which, a lot of people here might not know of the accomplishments of Joe Breher. They see his Picnic Bear avatar and think of him as a grammar/spelling-obsessed grinch big-blocker.
In the world of data storage he was a hero, developer of many systems, storage engineer extraordinaire.
A gal's gotta make a living... (thanks)

I was also thinking to sell 10% maximum. Question is, would you keep that in USDT?
Haha. I rescind my encouragement rendered immediately above. If you're not going to enjoy the fruits of your hodling patience in the immediate future, why would you want to convert to stinky fiat at the beginning of this cycle's bull run?
