3  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 22, 2021, 12:30:21 AM
OK.  Just started watching this B word thing...

Maybe I will edit this as I go... but impressions.

Elon is stoned as fek.  Seriously, or he just got up from a nap?
Elon triples down on "it's too slow, it's too expensive"
Elon reiterates for the 17millionth time he owns it (as does Tesla and SpaceX)
~22 Jack is such a classic bleeding heart. And I think he is right Bitcoin is going to benefit all the unbanked etc.
~24 I dig Cathie. She might have more basic strong sense than the other two. Recognises the BTC store of value being primary still.  Seems to get off on the who "crypto" thing though.  Her views on deflation are keen.
~27 Elon is pissed he's not geting a turn now.
~27 Jack touches on remittance, and bitcoins soundness and state disconnection.  Touches on Verifiability.  He obviously hangs on on Bitcoin Twitter.
~29  Elon misunderstands the concept of "scarcity".  He is attacking LN with the Money Transmittal argument.  Sounds like he's being fed by the state.  Bitcoin can't scale.  Brings up Doge, laughing and thinks it can be useful as a payment network because of Huh   Mentions the "exchanges as a defacto layer 2 non-argument again.
~32 Moderator brings up that Elon's ideas would break decentralization.  Elon seems to think regular users do not need to run a node.  I do not believe his misunderstanding is well thought out yet.  
~34.5 Mod suggests Starlink run nodes.  
~35 Elon "invents" the idea of node as space heater.  How original.
~35.5 Elon drinks water.  He's been sounding a little dry mouthed.  he is stoned.
~36 Elon likes Doge because it is dumb and would be funny if the most entertaining outcome is the most likely one.
Elon is high.
Elon drinks more water, and wonders if he could sneak off cam for a bong hit.15
Jack falls into Elon's "fun" trap.
~38 Energy use~!  Oh boy.
~39 Elon is an self proclaimed expert on "renewable energy".
~40 Elon tacitly admits that the did not do appropriate due diligence before putting 1.5 BILLION.
~40.5 Elon says he has lots of bitcoin.
~41 Elon wants to do "more dilligence" to confirm the usage is <=50%, and Tesla will resume.  Most likely they will.
~41:40 Cathie brings up the actual intelligent 2nd order argument of energy use secondary effect
~42 Elon thinks solar powered Bitcoin cant work when the sun is down, even though it is up somewhere on Earth all the time.
~43 Elon is pro nuclear
~44 Jack also shows that he understands the second order idea of stranded energy etc unlike the wunderdoof.
~45 Elon has given his very life to the Earth working on Tesla.
~48 Tesla is trying to be the good guys
~48.5  Elon has saved us from Bitcoin using good energy and if he had not stepped in they would have just kept shoveling coal.
~49.5 Cathie shills ESG a little.  Sings Jack's hym a little on access for the unbanked and developing countries and remittances.  Mentions ES, and Tonga
~51.5 Talks about the social angle of egregious fees.
~52 she brings up the social aspect of bad government.  Props up the BTC transparency compared to the legacy systems. Compliments devs.
~53 Talks about Economic theory, Praises the DEVS in this regard. Calls them noble.
~54 Continues to praise bitcoin as noble as compared to the legacy system.
~55 BTC ethos
~56 Jack talks about supporting DEVS, and fighting the patent trolls, and open sourcing h/w design, and the DEV APIs
~58 Elon is asked about NYKNYC.  He seems to understand it. First thing I hear him say that makes sense.  He mentions that "he is a fan of decentralized finance". But like all of his other views he seems to have no nuance when it comes to custody, and key management.  And what about this stupid defacto layer two exchanges concept?
~59 Elon believes in empowering people. Golf clap.
~59.5 Elon cracks himself up with the depth of his understanding of key management.
~60 The moderator brings up multisig as a solution.
~60  Elon suggests you can just put your private key "in something that has dual access or voting access".  He obviously barely understands this topic as well.
~60.5 Mod challenges the interviewees saying the community wants to guard the users from rich people and corps.
~61 Cathie paints her company as a supporter of "democratization".  She mentions education and research given out for free to all via social media. Encourages support of the dev community.
~63 Jack wants to push for as much decentralization as possible.  Moving to non custodial solutions.  Being open source, and wants to move Twitter that direction. (Blue Sky)  Wants to support the community
~64 Elon asks if Twitter would take payments from advertisers in crypto.
~64 Jack wants to, but also want to focus on economic incentives w/o advertisers.
~65 Elon says something incomprehensible about incentives, and again scolds Jack for not yet letting advertisers pay in crypto.  He seems to have forgotten that he is against that function at his own companies.
~65.5 Jack tolerates this and answers "100%".
~66 Mod asks Elon about his companies role
~66 Elon Wants to do things that benefit people.  And "take these set of actions to make the future good"  Some crypto will make the future better.  i am thinking in terms of probabilities. Shills ETH and DOGE again.  Will have an "empowering effect". Says some anti government stuff comparing it to the biggest corporation.
~68 Cathie has some intelligent ideas about regulations around bitcoin. Talks about how explosive the growth of trade could be because of BTC.  And the idea of the hedge against inflation.  Talks about the natural migration of people to BTC, and brings up deflation again. She brings up stick buybacks and counterparty risks.
~70.5 Elon says Teslas Euro bank accounts actually have negative interest rates!  This is insane!  What could possibly help with this?
~72  Jack talks about the beauty of the BTC network, and the bad UX/UI for end users.  Wallet development is important.  Brings up Muun.  Seems to believe it is the type of UI that is great.
~73 Elon's hope for "crypto in general" is that it can improve the efficiency of the thing we call money.
~73.5 Cathie says money has powerful network effect, and revisits ESG and those aspirations. Solving the worlds problems. Says the words "blockchain" and "AI" right next to each other. Somehow the universe does not notice and destroy her.
~75  Jack wants Bitcoin to create world peace
~75 Elon laughs at that.


Elon is not important to bitcoin.  Jack probably is. Cathie seems like a competent business woman.  Sorry for the many many typos... not gonna fix em. Wink


This bword thing was a joke. What does b stand for? Bull shitting?
Come on that only managed to pump up the price for what 6 hours then it fell flat after elon said he doesn't dump he pumps.
That was so very laaameeeee.
He says he holds bitcoin so what?
He only wanted to show off to the world by sitting next to dorsey. To show he is "one of us"?Feeble attempt elon. The damage has been done months ago.
Waste of an hour of precious life we have left in this world.

My view on the race for silverstone that is racing for you on any track. Nascar is the same. You wonder why there are crashes on all race tracks?
For this simply reason.
All drivers want to win.
What do you think hamilton should of done?
Let him drive aggressively the way he has in all other races and let him blow by him AGAIN?!
Nahhh wayyy!
He did what was expected from him and it won him the race.
Plain and simple.
If hamilton let verstappen over take him to avoid touching wheels he would be viewed as a pussy driver and get grilled by mercedes.
Might as well even give up on the rest season and just hand this verstappen the trophy himself.

Turning a race track into a vaccine center shows they have alot more concerns then showcasing like many other places are opening up.
Singapore cancelled the race for this season the second time in a row.
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 18, 2021, 03:58:54 PM
MicroStrategy reputed Bitcoin investment company purchase another $10 Million in Bitcoin at a normal cost of $43,633 per BTC.

Let's see how market will respond on this news, hope to see some green tomorrow....

Not after this news dude.
https://www.reuters.com/article/crypto-currency-china/update-1-china-bans-financial-payment-institutions-from-cryptocurrency-business-idUSL2N2N510T
It already drove it down further under $43k to $42,600
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: April 01, 2021, 07:51:13 PM

That's nice! But I think that odds for such bet may be much lower in next races. Maybe I'm a bit early to write him off, but I think Mazepin don't deserve F1 seat.
BTW, it was confirmed why Alonso had to retire. Sandwich wrapper stuck in his brake duct. Well, it's just ridiculous Cheesy.

What is a "Sandwich wrapper"? Is something related to the car or to the food? Does it have a double meaning?

Just saw we have 3 weeks of a break already, man I already missing the past year with 2 races every 3 weeks for a month. This feels boring now.

To have to wait 3 weeks for a race is shooting themselves in the foot.
People will lose interest with other things.
Why do they need to be so stupid to change the schedule in this way??
They think they are a bullet proof sport? No one is.
Covid strikes all of them down eventually.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Comparison of buying a cup of coffee with crypto on: April 01, 2021, 07:42:38 PM
meh, i'd never use crypto just to buy coffee..bigger things to do!
Maybe to buy a Car, Bitcoin has a big fee compared to other coins.
to buy coffee, doge is more suitable because the fee is cheap and transaction speed is guaranteed. Grin
Complete B.S .

You can buy a tesla now for those same coins. Cheesy
9  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: allert scam primedice and stake.com is same support and same team on: May 20, 2018, 11:35:11 PM
They are sites by the same owner I thought. Huh
10  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Zuckerberg paid us a share of FB advertising revenue? on: May 15, 2018, 08:42:49 PM
No. I would not do it.

They got enough personal information from the public.
Isn't that enough already or they want more of their users blood to get free advertisement towards their new world order?
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela is about to launch a free cryptocurrency course for every citizen! on: May 15, 2018, 08:39:15 PM
Seems to me to be a lot like what facebook is doing getting into the cryptocurrency space with wanting to create their own project on the blockchain.
Having an advantage to any other project because they will have a predetermined user base to distribute their marketing and promotion about it.
They would not need to charge any of their 2.19 billion users to use their own alt coin. Embarrassed
And they will reap the rewards later on just like Venezuela's government will by giving these courses for free(what if they charged $1 per person would it matter? Roll Eyes ) in promoting Nicolas Maduro's petro coin.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 15, 2018, 08:03:56 PM


Is this the real life or just merely fantasy? Undecided
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 15, 2018, 05:00:12 AM
Crossing indicators on the 1 hour. I think we will be testing 9k sooner rather than later.

$9k seems such a low target, and seems to sadden me muchie.



Watching the price for the past 10 minutes and it has been dropping $2 every time I wipe away a tear. Cry
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Comparison of buying a cup of coffee with crypto on: May 12, 2018, 01:40:13 PM
It is true of what you say that bitcoin has wk
The longest time and the most expensive cost, and to buy goods I prefer to use ethereum.
But ethereum was not created to make payments.
It was made for the purpose of a creating smart contracts and some place to hold them.
It just holds value because people are using it and its value increases.
Atleast this is how I see it. A place holder in a sense.
Once casper is initiated who knows what will happen to the price at this point.
Going all out staking might make it plummet or pump it.
Only time will tell as with all crypto. Smiley
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Comparison of buying a cup of coffee with crypto on: May 11, 2018, 04:44:18 PM


This is for experimental purposes and do not prefer using one over the other.
But it does show bitcoin to cost the most and take the longest amount of time to complete a transaction.
These statistics were tallied durin the month of February this year when the blockchain was overly congested and transaction fees were at its all time high.

Do not know what the numbers of the other two they compared them too are at now after lightening network has been implemented. Causing transaction costs to be 2000x less for bitcoin. Smiley
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: All in ETH now? on: May 07, 2018, 04:29:51 AM
Go with eth.
It has been offically declared to not be a security.
https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/05/06/big-day-eth-secs-chairman-already-stated-ethereum-not-security
This would of been a problem if it was declared as one.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 06, 2018, 05:43:23 PM
Doesn't anyone else think Elon Musk's twitter was hacked during that spat of them saying "Change your passwords!" due to their own breach of the database of all their 450 million user accounts?
https://cryptopotato.com/elon-musk-will-bring-humans-to-mars-and-cryptocurrencies-to-the-moon/

Why would a ceo of a billion dollar company use "u" in his tweets?
18  Bitcoin / Press / Re: (2018-05-06]Venezuela’s President Launches Crypto Funded Youth Bank, Encourages on: May 05, 2018, 09:25:23 PM
Now if the US moves against it, Venezuela can say they are stealing from kids... Nice. This is just an ICO scam on a geopoliticial stage.
Sort of like their Petro coin they launched and now are trying to get India to buy those in an attempt to sanction that country from being able to buy oil from them? Undecided
This is not what crypto was intended for. Countries should not have coins or run ICOs to fund their own coffers.
19  Economy / Exchanges / Re: 2017 Bitcoin Debit Card Reviews on: May 05, 2018, 12:23:38 AM
Just heard about hold.co
A new debit card that has a lending platform allowing you to gain interest on your crypto you deposit on the card.
The funds on the card are accessible to withdraw from any ATM.

Anybody else hear about this one?
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is no doubt that bitcioin will be replaced by another cryptocurrency on: May 04, 2018, 02:47:57 AM
Innovation always replaces their predecessor.
Whom that will be is what we all must wait and see. Wink
