Nice! Looks like fun too.  NB this is much smaller than the original video. |

fuck you buddy back to 19k+
It's working phil! $20,169 |

Edit: Damn it, Buddy. The oracle price is just over $20k where I sit ($20,063). Went as low as about $20,275 before it started to fall back... Now $19,977 here. Sigh, edit, edit.
There's no despair without hope. Yet by definition, despair is the absence of hope! Despair can't exist without hope and at the same time it can only exist without hope. Thank god there's alcohol. Despair is often filled with false hopes. Denial. Self-delusion. “Hopium”.
Not to pick on you, Homer—no offense to you personally—but I am as disappointed in some of the WO regulars as I am shocked that I violated my own advice to newbies never to mess with margin.
Despair?
When I finally got out of debt, I showed this thread with all my pathetic trainwreck-posts to the market pro who advised me to cover in February at $35k. Heater wasn’t the first to advise me to save much more than I eventually did. He saw all the recent posts that look worried, and told me not to waste any more of my time with the weak hands here. Ouch.
Now, I have Jay talking to me as if I am unworried because I lack sufficient “stake” in Bitcoin. WTF? It’s called diamond hands. I have diamond hands when I keep my life savings in Bitcoin. I have diamond hands when I have money I cannot afford to lose in Bitcoin. The only time when I crumple like tissue paper is when I get into debt, and suffer repeated liquidations. Easy solution: Don’t do that!
Now, we may have regained $20k—or this may be like when we so recently bounced around between $28k and $32k for awhile. (Or before that, between $38k and $42k.) I DGAF. This is all short-term thinking. And by the way, the only reason why we need to suffer these dips-for-ants is the fickleness of short-term thinkers.
When Bitcoin is up, WO is full of memes about rockets and trains. When Bitcoin is—sad, weeping softly to itself like now, WO despairs.
If you despair, then please mindrust your coins right now so that the market can get started slowly absorbing them.
I wear no hat. I have no “laser eyes” pic (my natural, inborn laser-eyes are good enough, thank you very much). And as long as I am not at risk of liquidation, I honestly do not care if Bitcoin takes its time crashing for awhile before recovery. I don’t plan to sell, so why should I be upset?
(Observing $20,041 as I write this.) No offense taken. I've always thought of despair as hopelessness so in my mind, one couldn't have false hopes and despair... maybe I'm wrong but regardless, I don't despair nor do I drink; I was just riffin' on the definition. HI-TEC99 got it and reciprocated accordingly - good one by the way! I can't imagine most of us (oh god... Sorry for the royal we JJG!) in here enjoy watching bitcoin fall in value wrt various fiat currencies. Rockets and trains just aren't appropriate at a time like that anyway so e're not going to cheer about rockets hurtling back to earth or trains stopping at another station to board more passengers but I don't think WO despairs. Perhaps this should be the next poll question? |

While picking up Sats on these dips, here's a little impression of the recent night skies. (180 seconds exposure at 14mm)  good night  Nice! It looks as though you also picked up a Sat in the image. Thin straight line going off the top left of the image. |

CB only gives the spread at the last book retrieval. I've considered adding some more info in there too but haven't had the time recently to really think about options. About CB, I only yesterday saw the avatar when reading the WO on a cumputer I wasn't logged in to (I have it on ignore), and I litterally LOLed, well done! I also loled when I saw it. In case it changes:  |

I mindrusted the crash, right about the time when BTC hit its local bottom around $17,600. I capitulated.
What I mean is that I mindrusted some scraps of precious altcoins that I had lovingly preserved to help regenerate my BTC in better market conditions. 
(STFU. I will slap anyone who dares to speak ill of my dearly departed altcoins, who nobly sacrificed themselves on the battlefield in the ranking order set by Gresham’s Law.)
I panicked, because BTC was in freefall—and if it kept falling so fast, my liquidation losses could go suddenly from ~99% to ~99.9%.
So... I guess I panic-sold. Sold assets low—dumped into a crash with what were, in themselves, horrifically foolish trades. To save BTC.
mindrust panicked to save his worthless fiat shitcoins. I panicked to save Bitcoin. And I jest at myself. The “selling into the crash” part was bad luck executing a plan I had decided earlier, after calculating a dozen ways to find the least-lossy, least-risky, least grossly undesirable means to free my remaining bitcoins. But I am making a point.
The good news: For the first time in over five months, I am debt-free! And the sad remainder of my BTC is freed from the margin account. For the first time in over five months, I am at zero risk of liquidation.
Now, I can go back to my old self. 
I DGAF about more crashing.
If BTC goes to $10k, then I will ride it to $10k. If it goes to $1, then I will ride it to $1. If it goes to zero, then I will ride it to zero.
Yes, I have very little BTC left. But it is a large proportion of my dollhouse-sized remaining finances. For he who has little, a pauper’s scraps are precious as a king’s fortune. My little itty-bitty bitcoins mean the world to me.
And I am back to my old self! Let blood drench the streets! I will laugh and sneer at the weak hands and the panic-sellers. Hahahah. LOL.
Let the market burn, as I frolic in the sunshine!
I am gravely worried about Bitcoin, because I care about Bitcoin. This is an attack. But that is an idealistic worry—cause for worse pessimism over the state of the world—not a fear for my personal finances. For my personal finances, my only Bitcoin-related concern—my grievous concern is that I do not have enough BTC.
1 BTC = 1 BTC.
Congratulations. There's still time to stack. https://www.jeopardy.com/be-on-j |

On the bright side of the economy.... that guy at the office who will never stop talking about crypto...has stopped talking about crypto... Does such a creature actually exist? I haven't encountered one. |

Are you kidding? The egg nog is made from mung-bean protein isolate, canola oil and guar gum because we can't afford chicken eggs anymore. |

Imagine buying in Dec 2017 at $19,326 just to see it at $21,326 after 5 years of HODL.  Anyone who purchased bitcoin at the peak in 2017 already sold it at a loss and then bought the first 2021 peak @ $64k, sold that at a loss in the summer and then bought the $68k peak in Nov of 2021 and are likely contemplating the sale of that at a loss as I type. |

If we would follow the logic of Warren Buffett this is the perfect time to buy as his quote goes: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy only when others are fearful" Well, he also said, “In terms of cryptocurrencies, generally, I can say with almost certainty that they will come to a bad ending.” “If I could buy a five-year put on every one of the cryptocurrencies, I’d be glad to do it but I would never short a dime’s worth.” On Bitcoin specifically: "It’s not a currency. I mean it does not meet the test of a currency. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not around in 10 or 20 years." Also on Bitcoin specifically: "Stay away from it. Well, it’s a mirage, basically. . . . The idea that it has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke in my view."
and the pièce de résistance when specifically asked about Bitcoin: "Well, it’s probably rat poison squared." It would seem as though the Oracle of Omaha doesn't want you anywhere near Bitcoin regardless of what he said about greed and fear. Pick and choose his advice at your peril. |

* death_wish strokes Bitcoin’s hair gently, gently, whilst speaking in soothing tones. Don’t worry, Bitcoin. We still love you. We will always love you. Please don’t be so sad. I want my bitcoins back. To have and to hold. Forever.Can you just stfu now? Spammed the whole thread with your stupid posts about you getting fucked for using leverages and not going the safe route with just holding BTC when you don't know shit about Trading? I am done with you and your shit. So irritating. No this is good! It's much better for people to learn from the misfortune of others than to experience it themselves. If newbies see the pain and anguish we're going through as a result of death_wish's margin trading debacle, it might prevent us from having to live through it again. We'll all come out of this for the better. |

I think I see what happened now. Christina Aguilera has appropriated OUR green dildo, subverted its meaning and fucked us with it, leaving us utterly defenseless against this onslaught of red.  |

Rightio, thats all for me for the night.
Last week, someone I know, killed themselves.... leaving behind a wife, and children, and friends.
They were in hospital with covid last year, bad case, on life support in critical care for a month + etc......... and they didn't really recover from it..... physically or mentally, and had got to such a state where he didn't want to be around anyone or go outdoors etc....
Another member, of the same family (but other side) just dropped dead only the week before of a heart attack.
If you know people, who are struggling... give them a call, go and see them, hang out with them, reach out to them.
"The Nighthawk, on KJCM, 98.3, and good night America... wherever you are."
Sorry for your loss. That's a lot to take in a short time. Thanks for sharing the music with us - it's powerful medicine. |
