https://unherd.com/2020/04/i-dont-want-life-to-go-back-to-normalSo much of pre-Covid-19 world was oriented for the gregarious and extrovert, and was tolerated by the rest of us (people who need solitude to maintain equilibrium) because the dominance of the herd seemed impossible to overcome. Take the world with which I’m most familiar: the office. Here, the following norms were unquestioningly accepted:
Open-plan hot-desking (every morning, hoik a box containing your laptop cables to any flat table in the office, and set yourself up for the day) leads naturally to synergistic interactions (“Hey! Let me, like, totally interrupt what you’re doing and tell you all about my ideas right now!”) These add value to the business.
Global teams are better, because they increase diversity, and diversity always adds value to the business.
Anyone leading a global team needs to travel incessantly, because physical presence among team-mates increases team cohesion (which is as important as diversity), and adds value to the business.
Serious decisions must be made face-to-face, even if half the face-to-face meeting is in one video-conference suite in Philadelphia, with the other half in another room in London.

... in fact, there are decent odds that bearwhale manipulators are going to dump the fuck out of these times around the halvening in order to strive to manipulate BTC HODLers into believing that either the stock to flow model is broken or that it needs to be shifted in the downwards direction.
I'm fully expecting this attempt. |

Out of merits but you deserve one for sharing that article. Very good and we can already see the gaslighting before the crisis is even over. I will say though that the first part the author gets the definition of gaslighting wrong, it's not "manipulation into doubting your own sanity" it's "manipulation into doubting your own reality" as in when people lie to your face about the facts of something you happen to know intimately. Small hair to split I guess for an otherwise good essay that more people should read. |

They are reporting on a quote from Oct 2019, where the guy also thinks Ethereum is going to POS in a 'few months'. ETH is still not there 6 months later. I wouldn't worry too much about anything in that article happening, *especially* BTC going to POS. |

Worth a read... https://seekingalpha.com/article/4337307-s-and-p-500-not-your-ordinary-recessionIn any case, we know that there is nothing really backing this money, no gold, no silver, not anything. So, the Fed is essentially diluting the U.S.'s money supply. The monetary base is approaching $3.9 trillion now (an increase of about $700 billion in only around 6 months). However, this is only the beginning given all the planned easing. Provided that the Fed will go through with most of its lending, the monetary base is likely to balloon to roughly $10 trillion in the near future.

Guys, I bought a nice domain name a few months back related to bitcoin; it's still sitting in the dust. I wanted your suggestions about what to do with it. I've got some free time these days and thought of building a little bitcoin-related thing on it; something small like that "BRRRRR" page. It can also be related to Bitcointalk. The best suggestion, that I'll be considering for development and implementation, will get straight 20 Merits from me.  Realtime quote tracker with a chart showing bitstamp price at each time the word "Coronavirus" is mentioned, coplotted with volume data for the number of mentions of #nohomo in between the time stamps. Background is a snowfall of xhomer's hats. |

 lots going on here Here's a good article about the Cantillon effect, which talks about why this new money supply overwhelmingly benefits those at the top... https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/the-cantillon-effect-why-wall-streetIn 2016, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen gave an important speech on this topic. It turns out, she said, that who the Fed deals with matters. To paraphrase her speech, the bigger and powerful get money first, and the small and weak get money last. That’s the dynamic we’re seeing in this bailout, with small businesses and the unemployed having trouble accessing funds and the big guys getting what they need when they need it. |

I like the X, bluetooth is useful for me. I also have an S that is the backup clone of the X and kept in a separate location. Always good to have compatible backups.

... there are quite a few regulars here who employ either a similar strategy, or some variation of such strategy that involves DCA and buying on dip or otherwise attempting to tailor such seemingly ongoing winning strategy to their own particulars.. which largely seems to lean towards BTC accumulation without getting too emotional or greedy about it.
Count me as someone who greatly appreciates the insight into strategy shared on this thread, from JJG as well as many others, including positive and negative trading experiences. For example the recent (last month or so) discussion about rolling old 401k's into a self directed IRA combined with a DCA applied to accumulation and some other crowd sourced wisdom has really gotten me a lot closer to my goals. As always dyor, but there are some gems tucked away among the memes, linear fits on logarithmic plots, and almost-NSFW joking around here. |

So the low end of the salary range there starts at $120,000 USD? I don't buy that. Maybe the OP may have mis-converted some numbers? 1 INR = 0.01 USD.

I wonder if this will spur wells fargo to not allow accounts to be linked to crypto exchanges. Seems the knee jerk reaction of first choice for the banks... https://cointelegraph.com/news/q3-crypto-ponzi-victims-file-class-action-lawsuit-against-wells-fargoThe lawsuit emphasizes that as Seijas touted himself as an investor working on behalf of Wells Fargo while he was an employee of the firm, “the acts and omissions described herein were committed in his capacity as an agent for Wells Fargo Advisors.”
You're looking a little pale. Have a mask to protect the rest of us.  Pre-existing condition I'm afraid. You've all already been infected. |

All this confusion and barting just seems like more opportunities to DCA in for me. I'm still in accumulation phase though. Good luck to us all.

Yeah bitebits used to give me all his merits but I guess I got a bit toothy and he switched to a younger model; and who can blame him with those amazing eyes looking up?
Haha, man like Mic. He even has a way with the men, hey  Check this out!  I’ve had enough of this planet, stop, I want to get off. Calling them Bobs & Vagene would have been less ridiculous, fucking pajeets.  #nohomo? |
