FFS, Mr Grammar Nazi, google the meaning of antivaxxer. Your statement is something like: "the grass is not green because it is". IQ below 10.  Grin

So ... the protected need protection from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to take the protection that doesn't protect the protected?

This from the people who used to call me stupid?

Vaccines DO protect you. They protect you from serious symptoms and death.  Cool

Who could have thought so many woers/bitcoiners are in fact antivaxxers? Guys you do sound like you're from the 19th century. Science gave us BTC and so it gave us vaccines. No need to be afraid of science. Most of the poor antivaxxer guys have been brainwashed by the youtube videos and questionable news sites. Lots of people are going to die because of this.  Sad

Wow "antivaxxers"? How were you in Bitcoin early if you are such a speak, obediently parotting the newspeak of the state media?

No-one here is an anti-vaxxer (sic, as the retarded spelling is all yours) I hope. "We" are specifically against these vaccines because they are 1. Against a non-dangerous desease (comparable to a seasonal influenza outbreak) and 2. Insufficiently tested and rushed.

You likely agree with this, or were you taking the yearly flu shot before? (unless you are weak of course).

Furthermore, vaccinating the population during an active outbreak (which you advocate were in n'est-ce pas?) is a deadsin as any immunologist knows this stimulates virus to mutate and actually become dangerous. They all know this. If you don't believe me go read a random contingency plan for pandemics that predate Covid-19 (I can confirm the Brittish one explicitly states to not vaccinate during an active outbreak for this reason).

If we follow this logic everything the government says is lie? So like they're lying 100% of the time? Omg man you're heading somewhere into the full retard revolution/anarchy direction like that. Pro vaccine ≠ pro government. I have my own opinion, I certainly don't listen and abide the media or government 100% of the time.

This disease IS dangerous. If it's not dangerous for you think about people who are at risk. Remember the footage from Italy March 2020? All those army trucks loaded with coffins? Paid actors right?  Angry 

Insufficiently tested and rushed? Common misconception - mRNA has been around for DECADES! It's not a bleeding edge tech. Before you comment you could just read some articles on how mRNA and other Covid19 vaccines work. You can even find the source code of the vaccine (yes it's open source) and make sure it's harmless.

And finally, quote: "No-one here is an anti-vaxxer (sic, as the retarded spelling is all yours) I hope. "We" are specifically against these vaccines".

Yes there are side effects. Every vaccine has them. Thrombosys, myocarditis etc all are extremely rare. Like really really rare 3 people out of 1 million. Vaccines are like that - somebody's child (or parent) will die a painful death. But billions will be protected from the virus. It's the price we have to pay...    Cool

Sup frens.

Just tested negative for COVID-19, so I'm out of the woods, and Rick and I both have a robust natural immunity now.

Was about what we expected, although I have not ever experienced an illness coming on "so hard and sudden" like COVID-19 did. Started feeling bad in the late morning, and by late afternoon it felt like I was figuratively smeared by a freight train. Started a slow steady recovery by day 4, and by day 10 I was feeling 95%. Day 13 today, and I'm practically at 100% again.

Heading out to the ranch this week to start checking out progress. Fun times ahead.

Have a great weekend, and don't forget to sun your taints!

Hey Bawb welcome back man!  Cool

But you should have $1000-$2000 on your phone  if you have a lot of $$ and they find zip on your phone it looks shady . They may go $5 wrench to unlock your phone and you do not have a dime on it.

My father-in-law owned a bar he went home with 3 bank rolls.

He would use 1 for the nervous thief
He would use 2 for the calm thief
and he had the third ready for the really smart thief

He never needed the 2nd or 3rd bank roll.

I understand the principle, but I personally don't have anything on my phone except pictures and emails, perhaps my online bank accounts (which still need a password), but no bitcoin or other crypto. That's not so strange I think.

I mean, if you get mugged and you have maybe $200 in cash on you, they will take your money and they may take the phone (which they will just sell anyway) but they're not going to bother finding out what is on that phone.

Exactly. The best thing is to not even signal that you own any bitcoin:

1. Don't store bitcoin in a wallet on your phone.

2. Don't have bitcoin screen savers on your phone/laptop/desktop.

3. Don't wear bitcoin related t-shirts, socks, ball caps, etc.

4. Don't have bitcoin coffee mugs, posters, framed art, etc. strewn about your house.

5. Don't incessantly talk about bitcoin with strangers.

6. And for gods sake, do NOT run about with a license plate that says BITCOIN, BTCLOVE, CRYPTOZ, etc.

They won't want or try to steal what they don't think you own.

... aaaand if you did one of the foolish things above it's not too late: 1. stop doing it 2. there's always a good old boating accident   Wink

^ I actually catch myself more often thinking what china actually wants to achieve, lately.
Seems they are blindly trying to fix (economic) holes, not aware of the medium- and long-term consequences.
Short: "How to fail".

EDIT:
See, see... Bitcoin knocking at the € 41.000 door again.


It's long overdue. We should be at around $60k by now right under the previous ATH. Price manipulation at it's finest....  Cool

El Salvador another achievement as half a million population is already using the official wallet Chivo which have $30 of bitcoin as signup bonus
 
Source:  Half a million users using Chivo wallet

It has just adopted it as legal tender and this is growth so many are going to adapt to the same.
Official government wallet, that is a disaster in the making. Bitcoin has no official wallet

The people of El Salvador are protesting against Bitcoin bill

Someone just sent $2,000,000,000 USD using #bitcoin  and paid a transaction fee of 0.00001713 $btc, or about $0.80.

That's a transaction fee of ~0.0000000389%

-No trusted 3rd party was requried.
-No Person/Government/Company can stop nor reverse this transaction.

Eighty Cents.

Love him or hate him, Jbear is a very interesting individual. He and I had several long discussions on music and vintage musical gear. He owns some gear used by Joe Walsh, Elton John, Rick Derringer, Billy Joel. and Michael Jackson.

I won't go into details because he told me this privately.

Yeah I chatted a couple times in this realm as well... I wrote him privately after breaking down and buying a piece of Behringer gear and falling in love with it (Wing) to my great surprise.

The only piece of gear I own with anything like a pedigree is a used mic I paid 100$ for that was supposedly tried out on a J-Lo track and rejected. lol.

As I said I hope he's OK and just got tired of being picked on for BSV...

Maybe he's still among us posting from a different/new account?  Cool

I've got brand new shoes
Wearing them to break them in
Can not feel my feet



Nice one, but please don't put socks with this kind of moccasins  Wink

Only a barbarian would wear loafers without socks, or with white socks.

Haha you've got a point there... but it also depends on a country... your socks are more suitable for Sweden, while galianoo (he's from Italy isn't he?) like most southerners would wear these with no socks...  Cool  Here's a nice article on with/sans socks: https://www.ties.com/blog/how-to-wear-loafers

Dear diary,

today two coiners revealed themselves among my friends/ex co-workers. The friend was my former boss, the co-worker his secretary.
The boss proudly told me, he's in "crypto" now, a fantastic thing. He was showing me his trading app and portfolio (what a noob, held only shitcoins), and said his secretary is his crypto-consultant. The secretaries base currency was ETH, he is into Defi as well. I wondered why the fuck he didn't invest in NFT already, but trying to sell a shitcoin that goes to zero is about as non fungible as a JPG of a rock, i heard myself thinking.
I said: Bitcoin? They said: Nah, man. No big gains here anymore. We sell a coin when it's over 150% profit and look for the next (shitcoin) to invest in.
So i asked about the taxes, and they said: Nobody cares. I wish they would know what they think "centralized" and KYC in terms of exchanges really means, but they seemed so obsessed about their "crypto gains", i didn't want to interfere in that moment.

The portfolio of the boss was down about 50% from its recent top. I didn't see or hear anything detailed about the secretary's portfolio, neither do i know how long he already was in "crypto" before.

So it's this time of the year again. I'm beginning to doubt my beliefs about S-curve adoption and should start thinking about liquidation target prices for a part of my stash. The next bear market is coming, and a big retail FOMO move to this cycle's top should lead it. It felt like 2017 all over again, but this time i will take some dollars to buy the 2023 bottom again.

-------

True story. Omitted many details in favor of OpSec.

You are asserting that the top for this bitcoin cycle is already in?

I guess what he was trying to say is that there is going to be a down move after the new highs. There was an assumption by some WOers that there won't be another cycle with an exponential top followed by a bear market in the years to come but rather a slow and steady continuous growth instead.

[edited out]

So, it's not different this time... such a pity... anyways we can always try to sell at the top and buy back during the 2022-2023 bottom which is also a good thing. Just a reminder: don't sell all (or substantial part of your stash) and/or become a nocoiner/lowcoiner. In other words: don't mindrust it!   Cool

Huh serveria?

Mindrust's situation was not selling too much too soon in terms  "on the way up" but instead selling during a pretty decently sized crash and having relatively high conviction that the crash was going lower.. so in that regard, he ended up both selling without really any profits (but not really at a loss) but thinking that he was preserving his loss and was going to be able to buy back lower.. to the extent BTC was not going to zero along the way... hahahahaha (which of course, it did not).


I know, I know, I had to admit this terminology blunder above already  Grin  World peace, man!  Cool

To pull a canonical mindrust you need to sell the bottom. Selling near the top doesn't really count.

I guess you're right. Should use terms like cashing out or liquidating instead... mindrusting is more specific...  Roll Eyes

Yeah... software raid seems to be the best right now. Some systems like old refurbished servers from HP and Dell, don't really allow you to not use the built-in hardware RAID, but you can always just configure it as JBOD or something and let the software handle the raid.

Then there's unraid and freenas / truenas.

Software JBOD is the absolute worst method for data integrity.

It literally increases your chances of catastrophic data loss exponentially.

raid 6 is safest.

As was noted previously Jbear is a expert on the subject, I miss him.

Yeah.  I hope he is OK.  Maybe he just got tired of us picking on him for for his big-blockness.

I miss gentlemand. There's another one not posted for ages.

Yeah, miss him too #nohomo. He used to have a very special sense of humor  Grin
