No, the air itself would have to be over 378K for that to happen. You would have to enter that room in a special heat resistant suit.
As to curing quickly, not sure how that would affect the taste.
210 degree celsius is just a few above 100K from THC vaporization temperature, so it would affect potency as well. I'd say 18 deg. celsius with constant air blowing, around 50% humidity, no UV light. About two weeks. Quality, taste, crispiness of buds. I never touched any drugs, btw. *cough* *cough* I may or have not undergone some abject failures at experimentation with creating crude concentrates, utilizing Everclear as a solvent agent... but I digress... The recipe I was following called for decarbing plant at 165 F (previously, incorrectly specified 165C) for 30 minutes. YMMV it seems. Anyway, can't wait for things to go legal so I can spend the rest of my life on this planet earning a green thumb, and live happily ever after. As for my hmming and hawwing about any moves shaving off from my stash to settle Rick's neurosis bleeding into my life, I'm still trying to stick firm with my gut of not touching my stash until 2022 for a small sale to fund our ranch & farm business. Thank you folks, for beating some reason back into me, even via PMs, while venting my lameass first-world problems of wanting to do something @ $10k. Rick just needs to learn to chill the fuck out, and I need to work on having a firmer pimp-hand. Edit: Even thanks to JJG, who I have on ignore, but read and considered his points. Glad to hear you found a little peace of mind. Where you're at, I guess a few thousands can't make that big of a difference. However, getting stressed over having missed out or acted too quickly etc. can really prick the hardest testicles, including titanium-trained balls. +WOsMerit (out of the boring ones ATM) |

 Mic, resisting of quoting the houseTROLL, but yes I did found him, still bouncing .... must be the missed out on BTC-syndrome He did put a lot of work in it. I call it patience - but as someone faintly suggested, the expression could be stub-born-tard-ityy (Prince mockup performed by stage dressed Bawb).(EDITED: Lyrics) |

Maybe in the end, we are on similar grounds when the vast majority of our BTC holdings is in the background in HODL status rather than playing around with it?
Yes. I don't even consider myself a trader, since it is a side activity - small stake and a small income - and I get out of trading for longish stretches of time. |

Stay away from Thailand.
They will try to get your money by giving you a choice between death, life in Thai prison (a fate worse than death) or all of your bitcoin.
The lucky get out while they can.
Yep. Especially if you poke them by engaging in arguably illegal conduct. Go figure? Elwar laid his seasted OUTSIDE the territorial waters. What the Thai govt did was a unilateral move not explicitly granted by the specifics of international law. oooooooo
am being slow here
is that why they came after Elwar
not because sovereignty issues
but because they heard you were an OG coiner
Hahahahahaha What a convenient spin.  I don't think V8 is way off. The truth probably lies in the middle. If it came down to an arrest, I'm sure Elwar's stash could have helped with milder sentencing or even getting away with it entirely, depending on the complexity of the situation or the degree of corruption of the relevant Thai officials. Oh I am starting to see. Individuals like Elwar should be able to just state his territory anywhere he likes, even if he does not have an armed forces to back him up... and nation states should just roll over and allow that?
-snip-
O.k. So individuals are equal to states. Hm?
Well, Raven in Snow Crash was. The matter is, he had a nice toy to ease the opponent's compliance to international law. What would have happened if Elwar had a few nuclear missiles auto-activated by hostile fire? It's just like the constitutional right to own a firearm, only taken into the international arena. As erre pointed out, China's building not seasteds but outirght war stations in the sea, and no one says a word. I don't support or even condone the insane arms race we're witnessing, but what international law eventually boils down to is who's got the biggest dick. China is making military bases on artificial islands in international waters, and this seems to be fine (or at least debatable) for international law.
Sorry for the OT rant. Well, partially OT since it contains the word bitcoin (you just read it didn't you?). It's that these things really trigger me. |

Yep. Especially if you poke them by engaging in arguably illegal conduct. Go figure? Thailand decided unilaterally it was "illegal" to threat their sovereignty and that elwar and his wife should die for death penalty. They physically removed the "threat" posed in international waters using war boats and even arrested people who helped in the construction. This potentially deathly aggression was decided without the aid of any international institution. China is making military bases on artificial islands in international waters, and this seems to be fine (or at least debatable) for international law. Freedom is not something due to us from the states, even first-word democracies. Freedom was a conquer, and it still is. States don't want anyone to be free from their influences, they would prefer to be in control. Seastanding is something about freedom, and so it is bitcoin. Your words resonate with me. You made me think of Raven - that character in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash that has independent nation status only because he goes around toting a nuclear weapon. |

Trading disclosure for peeps who are interested.
My short is very happy now! Unfortunately, I haven't managed to make it even with the long after yesterday's minidump. And I've been too timid in general. I should have made it much larger than the long - even double! With a tight stop on only half of it (evening it out with the long in case of a ramp up, but keeping it nicely plump if/while she kept going down). Well, hindsight is 20/20. I would have been even happier now, and I could have closed both positions with a net profit.
As it is now I'm still in the game, but it will take one more bounce up to make me whole - or some more risk on the short - which at this relatively low price, I'm unwilling to take.
What do you mean by "make me whole"? Are you valuing your situation in fiat? If you made some profits from BTC's price going down and you have accumulated some more BTC from BTC's price going down, then relatively speaking, you are better off from BTC's price going down than guys like me who are merely engaging in longs only. I'm valuing my situation in btc only. The matter is I've got an open long that is hurting. The short being as much as the short, my actual margin situation is stationary: I can't actually gain anything unless I cash some short (which I have, but not that much) AND the corn goes back up at least a little. The situation would have been better if I'd inflated the short in the ballpark of 2x the long - or at least to a larger size than the long. In that case, I would sit on larger profits and could cash out 1/2 of the short position and get even - or even more and be net positive, so closing both legs would leave me in the green. I was too wimpy to do that, because of my discomfort with shorting the corn. Thus, my whole networth has gone down about the 70% or more as much as BTC's price drop to the amount of my number of BTC's Same here! Same for all hodlers, actually. All my trading only happens with a small fraction of my btc holdings - the "play stash" or play money - and I only refer to that small fraction whenever I report the whereabouts of my trades. I do buy physical once in a while - when I can or feel like it, and without a steady ladder or DCA approach. I reserve most of my cool head thinking for my trading, and treat physical btc purchases as impulse buys (well, I do wait for dips of course ) consider what ignored JJG has to say
hahahahaha I kind of like this moniker... In my thinking, the only way to improve it would be to add a few more adjectives such as "[the nosey pain-in-the-ass no homo] ignored JJG".  Don't get too nosy, or someone could call Batman upon YOU.  |

Just reading on Twitter that one of the largest child porn rings in the world spanning 11 countries has been taken down. Access was via bitcoin on the darkweb. Maybe a reason for the slight dump? Edit - Found a more informative link - https://twitter.com/coindesk/status/1184490895439093761?s=21Edit 2 - Fucking hell, that’s bad. 32 kids were rescued, they were being abused by creeps using this site operated by a South Korean guy. Good they shut the shithole down, but no, I think this fact doesn't explain the dumplet. |

@Bawb Not my business, man, but... consider what ignored JJG has to say: Cash it out a little at a time, like in 2-4 chunks - especially if you don't actually need all the money at once. New Plan: Dumping 50 BTC next time we cross $10k USD. Rick approved. He's nervous as well.
Fuck this action.
this is exactly what whales try to force the dump money to do even now at the 8k mark. don't be the victim be the actor. refuse to be the victim always because it's not good for mentality health to get in this secondary position. EDIT: sorry, mixed up decline and refuse (not my mothertongue)  Exactly!!!!! Plans to cash out BTC should be more strategic and incremental and account for likely BTC rises in the next 2 to 6 years rather than based on fears and emotional concerns about downside potential that is NOT as likely as the FUD spreaders are making it out to be. But whatever guys are going to do what they are going to do, and since Bob has previously presented some of his actual numbers, rather than percentages, I would imagine that 50BTC is around 1/8 or more of Bob's BTC stash... so seems to me to be a bit emotionally based to be cashing out so large of a percentage of his stash based on little blips up in BTC's price and seemingly over concernedness about BTC possible downside, which is likely more of a shortterm thing and NOT as likely as mainstream media FUD would like us to believe. |

@JSRAW Congrats man! Surprised to find out you actually weren't a hero member already - almost as it was with Hairy, who actually only became a hero when he was already nearly a legend in deed.

Closed a part of the short at a tiny profit. Looking to reshort the same quantity a little higher if possibile. I don't like that lonely long weeping softly. Especially if soft whinging should turn into acrid tears later on.

@VB I know how you feel. I'm a cat lover too. I've kept company with dozens of domesticated and semi-feral cats. Lately, I switched to a females only policy for domesticated cats with house access. I'm still a widower. The latest cat I had was the most specialest of them all. I'd got hold of her by sheer chance. I got her as a young adult because her previous human (an old lady) didn't feel she could manage anymore. I want it to happen like that again: I'm waiting for the purrfect pussy to jump on my lap (metaphorically), rather than reaching out to find my next feline princess.
We know from the start that in the "normal" scheme of things, our friend will go before us. So we've got a choice. Is avoidance of the eventual pain worth giving up a good chunk of life with a feline companion?

Actually, now I manage to act with cool detachment. A little experience helps, of course, but this system has many soft levers, knobs and faders. The positions, as well as the P&L, evolve slowly over time, more so the more the positions are balanced. That's why I have time to think, calculate, project and act rationally rather than on emotion.
I almost hesitate to wade in here. But you’re an old comrade. You speak of ‘cool detachment’. And when the Korn is being sedate, that’s fine. But all experience hath shewn that a strategy build on sedateness will be a losing strategy when everything goes skyward. Which it does. I don't feel sedate. I feel in control - at least for the level of control a minnow can have over the river he's swimming it. Besides, a strategy built on emotive reaction is doomed IMO. And when everything goes skyward, I'll need very little trading anyway. Well maybe a little long just to feel like I'm getting a little more out of the pump. In general, I'm more cautious in a downtrend. A great warrior poet once said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.
A great warrior poet indeed! I've got my share of punches. Still getting a few slaps time and again, but I guess it's you either learn to dodge or get out of the ring. |

Am I the only one who thinks that the US ain't going to vote for Yang only because he looks so Chinese-ish?
Giant swaths of the population want to vote for someone who isn't white. Yang is the only one in the top 5 contenders according to betting odds who fits this description. IMO racism/hate against Asians in America today is almost nonexistent. Tons of people have a problem with Whites, Hispanics, Blacks, Gays, Trans, Virgin Roach's, Bankers, and Arabs, but everyone seems to be cool with Asians. This is based on the hard science of my anecdotal life experience and borderline incontrovertible.  When will we be able to trade satoshis for some sMerits? I think it's already happening (not here probably). Duly merited for you |

Those tart Rieslings are among the few white wines worth drinking IMO. Nice find Next wine scored better points on somekind of calculator my GF looks at some times.... but the one I posted was South African with a nice Dutch word on it...... Was the better scoring wine still white? I know it's just a matter of personal taste, but I can't stand most "elegant" white wines. I'll take a Vinho Verde or a Sauvignon Blanc over Gewürztraminer or even Chablis any day! |

That's the spirit, d_eddie!!!! I was not trying to bust your balls over anything, especially in terms of some of the Opsec issues or even the potential "trade secret" problems that could come from too many "trading disclosures;" I know. I don't think I'm busting my opsec, and I have no issue with would-be copycats. Firstly, I doubt there are any copycats in this context, and secondly my trading is labor-intensive enough to discourage the average lazy ass. yet frequently talking about trading strategies after they have been deployed should be less of a risk of the copy cat problem.. and sure if you want to refer to some kind of practice that you do in kind of an obscure way, that might be understandable too if you are trying to retain it as a kind of possible personal "trade secret" advantage that you believe that you might have. No issue about the possible edge I could gain through my perfect, infallible personal trade secrets either. One issue I have is that I try not to "jinx it", so to say. IOW, if a whale sniffing our waters figures my thinking is sound in a given context, and reckons many traders might be aligned with my entry points or moves, they could try and force a few stops just because they can. This is a good reason to be vague enough for the casual hunter not to sniff pray, while entertaining a meaningful conversation with like-minded gentlemen (or scoundrels, or different minded, for that matter). By the way, you are quite unlikely to get me attempting to even employ your various strategies, Your numerous and extensive posts made this point quite clear even though I frequently sigh some relief (when I read them) that I am NOT attempting to employ them (even if there may be considerable market move times that you could well likely be stacking decently more sats than me).
Actually, now I manage to act with cool detachment. A little experience helps, of course, but this system has many soft levers, knobs and faders. The positions, as well as the P&L, evolve slowly over time, more so the more the positions are balanced. That's why I have time to think, calculate, project and act rationally rather than on emotion. The quiet satisfaction of bringing home 1% of my play stash, then 2%, then losing 1% and making up for it in the following 2 weeks doesn't compare to the adrenaline rush of a newfound lambo, of course, but it's good enough for me. And when maybe a couple months later I can stash away 10% or even 30%, I'm glad I found a viable "system" (of sorts) that works for me. |
