Anyone with a large enough holding can manipulate the market.

Market prices depend largely on exchanges which can be manipulated with mere hundreds of bitcoins.

The big players transact OTC in thousands or tens of thousands of coins.

They're more than happy to lose smaller amounts on exchanges in order to accumulate or liquidate much more OTC in order to realize great profits, usually Bitcoin profits.

The time to sell is when you absolutely must.

The amount to sell is the absolute minimum.

I guess it depends on when you were born.

I was born in the 1940s so I still kinda think of the 1950s as being "modern".

You know: transistors replacing vacuum tubes, jets replacing propeller airliners, rock&roll replacing swing, computer punchcards, beatniks, etc... ultra modern.

I still think of Eminem as being recent even though many here weren't even born when he was recording.

My grandmother was born in a time of horses and buggies, kerosene lamps and telegraphs. By the time she died at the age of 97 she'd seen the coming of electric lights, cars, radios, airplanes, income taxes, 2 world wars, the great depression, the atom bomb, television, men on the moon and computers in people's homes.

I remember horses on the streets of Toronto, washboards, iceboxes, shellac records, and vacuum tube radios and coal furnaces, but I was quick to jump into computers, the internet, peer-to-peer filesharing, decentralization and of course Bitcoin.

You can relate to the past without being stuck in it.

It's still Sunday here.
There's still time for a haiku
On a Sunday night.

Dog days of summer
And Bitcoin's going sideways.
It's just typical.

Really no big thing...
Just standard summer doldrums.
Thank gawd for AC.

An autumn bull run
Should lead us to the halving
And a bigger rise.

I believe Texas is in the USA.

My wife insists it's occupied Mexican territory though.   

31.67K? At what exchange? I thought we used Bitstamp as a reference around here.

It hit $31818 at Stamp on July 12.

Ho hum.

Confirmed by math and science?

Perhaps would-be influencers will continue to use Twitter (or X or whatever you want to call it now) to try to manipulate the Twittards but I don't think the people who really make the market move care much about that crap. They won't base their decisions on some silly "social media" nonsense.

They'll continue to accumulate bitcoins by carefully manipulating the market with exchange trades while doing their real business OTC.

Have you tried cannabis to augment or replace the opioids? If you administer it rectally it bypasses the liver and you don't get high. I take massive doses daily to ease my COPD. I use refined weed oil with equal parts THC and CBD buffered with cacao butter. That would probably work well for pain relief but maybe more THC would be better.

Of course you can always add more moderate doses orally or by inhalation if you want to get blasted. Sometimes dissociative analgesia helps.

Get well soon.

I also prefer tomato sauce over ketchup. No added sugar, no vinegar.

Also Heinz ketchup is the worst. I know people who worked for Heinz and heard horror stories about rotten moldy tomatoes by the truckload being dumped into the ketchup. Enough sugar and vinegar hide the rot.

My biggest complaint about your recipe is the use of Vidalia onions. Vidalias are wimpy flavorless onions better suited to salads or slicing to put on burgers or sandwiches. For cooking you want a strong yellow onion like a Bradford, preferably longer and narrower rather than shorter and rounder... something that will really bring tears to your eyes. Much more flavor.

I agree that Roma tomatoes are the best for cooking (and most other purposes).

The same reason as for all internet trolls: attention seeking.

You almost caught my attention. Then I noticed it was just another piece of twatter crap,

Get a life. Post something original.

I don't care if they're fake. It still pisses me off.

Unless "they" identify as a wymyn. 

We've been above $30K for a month now.

It's starting to look like we may actually be above $31k to stay.

Regardless, we got a new AYH today.

Go Bitcoin go.

I also saw the original in the theater when it first came out. I thought it was childish.

I appreciate good realistic science fiction but it reminded me more of a fairy tale, all action and drama but not much science.

I find it fitting that Disney has taken over the franchise. What's next? LGBT Han Solo and Princess Leia of color?

I realize I'm in the minority and millions worldwide think it rocks, To each their own. There's no accounting for taste.

You think Groundhog Day movie is boring?

Not as boring as any Star Wars movie.

Nay. I find merit whores amusing.

If anything, figure out a way to ban any linking to Twitter. That's what's really annoying.

Fucking merit sluts.
And even more annoying,
It was from Twatter.

Some think re-posting
Crap from social media
Is merit worthy.

Instead of posting
Anything original,
They just cut and paste.
