Space elevator: the noob Newtonian dabbler in me has a question.
Won't a sufficiently high/massive elevator slow down this mudball's rotation? As in, longer days? Conservation of angular momentum and all that. Please make me feel safe again. Thanks.
If it was that heavy, what do you propose to anchor it to? A large tent peg?  |

my brother wanted to sell me his 'used' tesla a 1.5 years ago? 2 years...I just remember it was 7.5 BTC...I probably would have done this IF he would have kept the BTC...I'd be sad ..but at least the brother would have some BTC. But 'missed that bullet' sheesh...7.5 BTC for such...I would be 'sad' now...very, very sad.... so HODL.  Was paying my kids .1btc to rake the yard years ago. They are happy now. I remember signature campaigns that paid 0.1 BTC per week....remember PayCoin? Before GAW went completely rotten? I THINK I got 0.33 BTC for running their chain for a week or so ..so they could setup POS with my 2013 KNC Jupiter Miner I had to 'dust off' after a couple years..the last hurrah...everyone mined for PayCoin...I mined it on some exchange for BTC direct.. Wow....hell I used to send you like 1.5 BTC to fix various lots of KNC equipment ....hope you kept it Brad lol GAW "went" That's the one scam that never suckered me in with their pretty pictures of nonexistent mining devices. That was that Josh Garza fucker yeah? He ended up going to jail didn't he? He got sentenced to less than 2 years so he's probably out on his 3 years of supervised access now. Too bad all the scammers dont get caught. |

Thats not a FIAT, it's an ABARTH. (at least the logo)
Ugh. Right you are. Search lied to me and I picked it cause it was the most photogenic.  since abarth was bought by fiat in 1971, you were not really wrong. dirty fiat is dirty fiat. I see what you did there.  |

I'm with the other guy who thinks we should be grounded in reality for now. Space elevators are fun and all, but we could still cover a lot of surface area on the planet, maybe even in the oceans, for plenty of solar panels / arrays to power the world (or a bitcoin miner.) I found this before: https://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/127 So it's not updated, but you can line up a whole bunch of solar panels near the equator and not much is needed to power the world (not including bitcoin miners) ... That article also discusses wind power and hydroelectric power. Edit: here is another one just for bitcoin. https://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/5697 Well I have been in similar discussion with friends who still didn’t accept Bitcoin yet. So one time we discussed that it’s a fact tha a SME (coronal mass ejection) is a serious threat to humanity. And if it happens it will be a complete blackout for days, months or may be years. In such a mass disaster what will happen to Bitcoin?? when this whole Bitcoin echo system needs so much energy and constant internet connection how Bitcoin will survive? Whereas paper money or gold can still be valued and used in such scenarios like nothing happened. Well lets see, assuming mass CME lasting 24hrs to cover all of earth, power grid is fried, nuclear power plants shutting down some blowing up cause their redundant safety mechanisms are fried, some nuclear weapons/ships/submarines/planes might go boom, satellites supposed to have some protection but chances are won't hold up to such massive CME so GPS and SAT communications are done, planes falling out of the sky, mass hysteria, supply chains disrupted shortages of food widespread, armies are reduced to few guys running around with guns, ATMs are used for target practice etc, etc, etc... and you think i'll accept your monopoly coupons or shiny metal for this chicken that i'm trying to sell because i need more ammo? If such major disaster happens BTC would be the last of your worries. On a bright side surviving society's priority would be restoring the internet, once that's back up BTC would be the first one to come back online before any bank or ATM will start working. It doesn't even matter if you would accept the monopoly money for your chicken because there isn't enough of it around anymore. Most people currently use electronically transmitted digits that represent monopoly money and have little if any paper money on hand. |

You're mistaken. That's not supposed to be me. It's no secret who is buying the dip to keep the rest of us safu!! |

Price going down yo!
You have the most succinct TA of anyone here. |

Just produce stuff off-planet and send it in. Launch trash towards the sun.
Ironically, it takes a lot of energy to drop stuff into the sun. Ah, just leave it on earth and it will eventually be gobbled up and vapourized. No need for drastic measures now. |

You probably are something that didn't agree with you. it might go just to $46K < > $47K and then to $52K again. And just do a ping pong for a few days and then sideways. Or the most obvious, correction to $30K < > $39K.  I meant to type the word 'ate' and when I realized my error I tried to edit the post but deleted it instead. At that point, I decided it wasnt worth pursuing anymore. I thought it happened quickly but you were quicker. Long story short - that quote conveys a meaning I never intended. Sorry. |

Elwar, say it aint so? ... sold out bulls have made the worst trolls. ... hoping he hasn't go full fiat ... never go full fiat/retarded  ... fiat is a mental illness, a brain cage to enslave you to the beastly system No man, I found this great new token that's going to be the next Bitcoin but shinier. It will have longer addresses and there will be MORE coins. Only 90% pre-mine with trillions of coins remaining. This is going to be HUGE! Merdecoin...it's the future! I want in!!  |

I watch videos and read websites about Bitcoin and they mention the 21 million limit to make it sound very scarce. But since there are 100 million Satoshi in a Bitcoin it doesn't seem scarce to me.
I mean if it was 2.1 million Bitcoin and 1000 million Satoshi or 210 million Bitcoin and 10 million Satoshi it changes the scarcity push.
There are 2,100,000,000,000,000 Satoshi, so if 100 Satoshi (or in tradition money standards 100 pennies), that would mean 21,000,000,000,000.00 Bitcoin. 21 Trillion Bitcoin doesn't sound so scarce now does it...
Not sure if you are complaining or compliment. The best feature that bitcoin has is its decentralization and limited supply. Not at all and I will sell you as many as I can for a buck a piece. Deal?
But right now 2,100,000,000,000,000 Satosh = $48,000 which means you are asking too much. Maybe after a few decades OP will gladly accept it :-D I wont complain if he wants to pay me a buck a sat now. |

Feels as if we are ready to test new highs. I’m calling new ATH within 2 weeks, who’s with me? Beers are exhausted, we’re within touching distance of $50,000. The correction to $43,300 is already greatly recovered, weak hands are shaken & it’s time to restart the pump engine.
You must pace yourself young Padawan. I still have several beers in the fridge. |

I like the "Bitcoin is rat poison" quote. Also from Warren I believe How you view that depends on if you are a rat or not, I guess. ROFL!!! Never looked at it that way  I'm pretty sure rat poison has been keeping my dad from having a stroke for several years now. Funny thing is Warren's Berkshire Hathaway owns 33 million shares of Bristol Myers Squibb which is the maker of Coumadin (a blood thinner) which is the brand name for its version of warfarin which is rat poison yet he doesn't want any bitcoin because it is - in his words - rat poison squared. With BMY making up a little over 0.75% of their holdings, I guess Berkshire Hathaway doesn't have any room in its portfolio for the more profitable version of rat poison. He's almost correct but the "squared" part is an underestimation, if BMY=rat poison then bitcoin would be (rat poison) n where n ≫ 2. BMY has only risen from about $20 in 2009 to about $62 today. |

A "racket" is a dishonest or deceptive, moneymaking scheme and that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard the name Rakuten. Yeah I know it's a Japanese word but I think it wasn't well though out for a global marketplace and even if they are accepting bitcoin, I'm taking a pass. It reminds me of Sam&Ella's Chicken Palace and likewise, if they begin accepting bitcoin, I'm not going there. |
