Good AM Bitcoinland.

It seems $7k is offering much more resistance than the supposedly strong $6k. After breezing through $7k all the way past $7.5k it hit a wall and has corrected all the way back down under $6.9k... currently $6923USD/$9292CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

This correction is not only welcome but overdue. No one wants to see the price gallop away and explode. Let's keep a sustainable level of growth. It seems I was posting the same thing for much of 2017. It was when it ran rampant in December of that year that it led to the bubble and burst. It's so much better to have a sustained series of strong rises intermingled with sharp corrections.

Still, it was nice to see the price briefly hit 5 digits in CAD, especially for those who bought coins when the price was in double digits. Some day in the not too distant future when the price hits 6 digits, people who bought in triple digits will feel the same way.

Go Bitcoin go.

All these CCMFs (both trains and fiddles) and no Vegeta?

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we soared all the way up close to $7k before a nice little retrace/consolidation to around $6.8k... currently $6806USD/$9130CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

How long before the CAD price hits 5 figures again?

Go Bitcoin go.


Yes. Getting in early and making serious money is fun.

You don't have to worry about the silly little ups and downs when the bottoms are 50 times what you got in for and the tops are measured tens of thousands of percents.

You can sit back relaxed and simply live happily ever after.

Thank you Bitcoin.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're continuing to soar... currently $6406USD/$8608CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

I thought $6k would present a little more resistance but it's starting to look like a done deal.

Go Bitcoin go.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

The battle for $6k continues... currently $6027USD/$8135CAD (Bitcoinaverage). This could take a while.

We'll all feel a lot better when we hit $7k.

Go Bitcoin go.

Nice to see $6k again.

I think I'll go around the corner for a margarita. The band should be starting soon.

How long before the inevitable correction/profit-taking?

I figure the battle for $6k ain't over yet but it's been a long time coming and I feel like celebrating.

At this rate we should be double the bottom soon.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland

Nice to see Bitcoin moving toward $6k... currently $5895USD/$7942CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Go Bitcoin go.


FTFY 

I find back-and-forth games like hockey, soccer, and basketball to be rather boring. I prefer more cerebral sports like baseball and gridiron "foot"ball. I like a bit more strategy than "shoot or pass".

That said, I did enjoy yesterday's FIFA football game. We were sitting in a tourista restaurant in Playa del Carmen eating enchiladas when Liverpool scored their 3rd and 4th goals. Needless to say the whole place went nuts. The look on the Barcelona goalkeeper's face was priceless.

It seems the whole world was rooting for Liverpool. Even I found it exciting.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

Sideways at $5.7k I see... currently $5737USD/$7715CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Dental work proceeding on schedule. Had 2 sessions of prefitting  already and will have 1st test set of teeth installed on Thursday. Final  set installed sometime next week after adjustments, then further adjustments and fine tuning to follow. Total procedure should take about 3 weeks then I'll be set for life.

Ran up to the jungle for 3 nights last week just in time for the electrical service change-over to 240v and a chance to supervise installation of new circuitry  Also got the chance to bring down enough kitchen equipment to turn our $20/night hotel room into a nice cosy studio apartment for Laura and me. Nothing like healthy, cheap home-cooked food in a great environment, half a block from the beach and half a block from the live music bar where I have a VIP discount card.

Life is good. Thank you Bitcoin.

Go Bitcoin go.

A ridiculously early good morning Bitcoinland. Sorry but 7:00AM is past my usual bedtime. Gawd I hate farmers' hours. Sitting at the airport waiting for my plane.

We seem to be continuing sideways... currently $5209USD/$7015CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Hopefully by the time I fly back up with my new teeth and lovely young girlfriend Bitcoin will be up over $6k. I'll have to buy some dollars when I get back. Taking down bucks I bought when Bitcoin was over $5.5k. This barely over $5k crap is bullshit.

Go Bitcoin go.

Everything is natural. If something exists it's natural.

Is it any more natural for a bee to make a honeycomb or a beaver to build a dam than for a human to make a nuclear reactor?

Good morning Bitcoinland. My last day in Toronto for a month.

Prices are pretty steady going sideways for now... currently $5274USD/$7106CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Luckily I bought greenbacks for my dentist before the price dipped a few days ago. Got almost $5.6kUSD per coin with 3% total exchange cost.

Hopefully prices will be up by the time I get back in June and have to buy some more fiat to pay down my credit card and meet June's expenses.

Go Bitcoin go.

Is Haiku Sunday still a thing?

Good day Bitcoinland,
Off to sunny Mexico
To get my new teeth.

My lovely girlfriend
Will be waiting for me there.
Oh thank you Bitcoin.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Back in Toronto after a week in Mexico City.

I see we're continuing upward... currently $5568USD/$7466CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Good thing because I have to start selling some Bitcoin starting today so I can start converting to USD to take down to Playa del Carmen on Monday to get my final teeth. Can't change more than $2kUSD at a time without showing ID so I'll be doing this all week. Gawd I hate snooping by nosy governments and other corporations.

My lovely Mexican GF is convalescing at her mother's place in Mex City after successful medical procedures and will fly down to meet me in Playa. Hopefully she'll be waiting for me at Cancun airport.

Go Bitcoin go.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

I see we've recovered a bit since the dip down under $5k... currently $5086USD/$6809CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

The battle for $5k rages on.

Bad new for the superstitious... I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to Mexico City.  

This wasn't planned. My lovely Mexican GF is having a medical emergency and is flying up to MC from Cancun this afternoon to see the far superior doctors in MC. I want to be waiting for her at the airport when she arrives to take care of her.

Hopefully we'll get her fixed within a week and I can fly back up for a week or so before flying back down to Cancun on April 29 for my final dental work.

If she had a passport I'd be bringing her with me. While we're in the big city maybe we can get her one.

Good news for the superstitious... I'll be flying back up in early June for the rainy season and will be in Canada until probably November after the hurricane season.

Who? Angela Merkel? 

What a babe.

Great little machine, years ahead of its time.

If Commodore hadn't bankrupted itself with an ill-advised foray into gaming consoles, the Apple Mackintosh would have withered on the vine.

The Amiga had it beat for graphics and sound and the PC ruled the business world.

What a loss.

Bingo!

Been saying it for years.

Hear hear.

Hell. I've even still got a USB FDD (floppy disk drive).

You want a magnet-proof wallet?



Oops. I'm showing my age again.
