I am coming to the conclusion that in the future it may be best to be able to defend your home/property yourself. I could either buy vast acreage and build a fortress, or buy an island that is easier to protect as the only people coming will be coming by boat...which can be defended against.
you know there are these things called "aircraft" that make a lot of traditional defenses useless. You know there are these things called anti aircraft guns that shoot down aircrafts, says a former AA gunner. drones are small, cheap and hard to see. program piles of them and set em loose. point being there are always guys with bigger/better guns. always. in my youth i read some dystopian Robert Heinlein stuff that seemed just crazy with their political premises and such. now im practicality living it. edit: thanks for your service to your country btw This isn't meant to be deliberately offensive, and apologies to any veterans if it comes across that way, but I can never really understand the "thanks for your service" rhetoric, most commonly encountered in the US. Firstly, members of the armed forces there are receiving a salary, so is it really "service"? Secondly, the US's recent military endeavours have largely been in the service of, and to the benefit of, oil corporations and their shareholders, rather than to their country. I thought we'd gone beyond the naïvety of thinking that governments wage wars for the benefit of their people. That really depend on what country you are talking about. And I think the "thank you" thing is more about the obvious added risks that sometimes comes with that particular job. |

Two cashiers at my fav grocery store have just bought bitcoin, they were kind of interested before and listened when I talked about it last fall and this winter, but they felt that it was a bit to alien for them.
Now one of them got advice from her advisor to balance her stonks with some bitcoin, and she did, and now she sits down at the table when I have a cup of coffe in the cafeteria and talks bitcoin with me. The other guy just needed a push and it seem the hype lately did the trick, he also now talks bitcoin with me and asks me for advise, (what wallet to use and such).
Neither of them is you typical cashier though, the girl comes from a pretty well of family and have a pretty good stonks portfolio and the guy is a uni student who works to get money for his studies (he also collects 80s cars, he calls them old cars).

you know there are these things called "aircraft" that make a lot of traditional defenses useless. True, but then again, let's see how many PDCs 1 BTC will buy you in 2025. Hmm "40mm, armor piercing" sounds like the old Bofors 40 mm L/70. Nice to see it's still in use in space.  Bofors guns on Spectre gunship And also my old gun (not on a gunship obviously). Edited a lot. |

Update on the Binance card, today (Sunday) I got my first cashback, and I have only used it through Paypal, so evidently you get cashback from using it on Paypal, that,s really nice since that's basically what I,m gonna use it for.
Lifetime Cashback Earnings
0.00005436 BNB
≈ 0.03 EUR
Do Binance card have any staking limit? Binance visa card still not offered my country it says coming soon... I applied earlier on crypto dot com for visa card but was shocked to see high staking rates for any good benefits. In low staking cards benefits are not that good. I don't know what a "staking limit" is, but the card has no fees, except when you use it, then the fee is up to 0,9% or if you need a new card then the replacement fee is 25 EUR. You don't need to have any money in your account to get a card and it's sent to you for free, no annual fees, no top up fees, just no fees. The daily spending limits are: Virtual Card EUR 870, Physical Card EUR 8,700 The daily ATM limit is EUR 290. |

India is getting hammered by Covid-19. Situation over there is worse than the chaos what i saw in Brazil.
Absolute madness.
*nod* I'm kind of wondering what the fuck happened, could this be the result of that stupid religious holiday a month ago? If so then man, those Gods are *pissed* People not wearing masks, and the government allowing massive crowds to gather in the name of religion so they can get votes next election. All this combined with the fact that we're low on oxygen cylinders, and hospital beds are over capacity by a huge amount I have not met you... so I will try not to be an asshole right out of the gate. But I find it cognitively very challenging that you can type the bolded, and also have the words: "Be decentralized, be sovryn" in your profile. People dying from covid is certainly a difficult and challenging problem. But my limit for where I find it acceptable for a government to deny it's people to assemble is MUCH MUCH higher than yours seemingly. Millennial or younger? Religion and tradition should not be an excuse to let people die. When the politicians are saying "Death is inevitable but traditions must go on" it is very hard to agree with them. Everyone deserves freedom, but it shouldn't come at the cost of others. Younger Are you nuts? You are basically giving the government a freecard to do what ever they want with the people as long as they can say that it is "to protect others". The supreme court is a thing? This is the stupidest shit ive heard You will have to elaborate on that, and what jurisdiction? What supreme court? And why do you want whatever supreme court you mean to lock people up? Do you want them to be locked up when they get the flu as well? The numbers are getting pretty accurate now and it seams that the death toll is approximately the same as for the asian and the Hong Kong and less then the Spanish flues. |

No more plastic drum machines ;-)
Yeah, all well and good, but now I gotta find a human to play em... because I sure as hell can't... find a songwriter too while you at it ... you sure as hell can't do that either What the fuck? Seriously. joking ... obviously, from a paranoid libertarian reality, not the Right wing call it performance art comedy? Whatever, QAnon. might be fun to throw around labels on the intertubes or even sing about them, but you don't know me from shit people who dish it out have to got to be prepared to have it served up too Or next thing you know the lefty hippies will want hate speech laws for electronic digits to protect their feelings That's right, I don't know you. And quite frankly, I'm happy I don't. Why so much hate though? Why don't you take your political and conspiratorial thoughts in a more suitable thread? Let's focus on bitcoin in this thread. Surely we don't focus on bitcoin in this thread. |

Yahoo dominated by a lot and the rest had very low $ value.
Then, as the internet hype began, they started to re-price even the lowly one's, which was a complete surprise to me. They began trading at multiple billions.
Of course, later google came in and conquered it all.
Great analysis, man. +2 Merit and +2 WO Merit. The fact that Yahoo dominated by a lot, and later google conquered it all doesn't reassure me, though. What does it imply in terms of crypto? "Yahoo equals Bitcoin" dominates by a lot and in a few years "Google equals Dogecoin" conquers it all? What's your idea gents? The users of yahoo had no money in the game, the users of bitcoin all have money in the game, they had nothing to loose by changing from yahoo to google, bitcoin users have a lot to loose. That's even more true for institutional investors. I don't think you can compare the two scenarios. |

is this canadian or australian, singaporan, or hong kong? Around here, we use gallons, but then liters, not litres. In TX, it is (in USD) $2.68/gal=$0.71/liter I know that it is pretty cheap comparing with EU. I think he was more so posting it because of the 69.69  That was the target those doge lovers were trying to hit for their ATH on doge day. Well it seems they should reschedule it for may 8th instead when their fearless leader will be making an appearance on a show televised live later on today in around 28-29 hours from now. WT actual F is going on with crypto?  BTC and the number two (Vitalik's science experiment ) dumps while this coin hits it's ath at the same time. Here is a thread for you to show your frustration as I am in right now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5336007.0How can it be "televised live later on today" and televised "in around 28-29 hours from now" And I would guess Canadian because of the french spelling of "litres"Aussies spell litre the same way as well Didn't know that, thanks. |

Picture a mouse and an elephant.
Picture how much a particular person contributed to bitcoin success (via promoting mining, teaching people how to do it with detailed know how, reviews, etc, etc.).
Then picture someone whose contributions are mostly endless diatribes about minutia.
Now, let me propose that @philipma1957 is the elephant (for those in the know in the broader community) and @JJG is the mouse.
Then, picture a mouse telling an elephant that it s mad or less mad at it because of some blah blah (whatever).
The funny thing is, irl elephants are afraid of the mice.
They shouldn't be.
Finito la comedia
I like that. But the really funny thing is elephants simply don’t give a fuck about mice. I am simply getting old and cranky and annoyed too easily. I Don’t know if it is being 64 and finally have positioned myself in a good way when it comes to coiins. I don’t know if it is that i helped setup hundreds of people to make money mining. Trading is and will never be my thing. But I came to this thread last year because I thought the time was ripe for the bull to start running. So I turned out to be correct. So to all I will post here and I will post what I please. deal with it. but i do not say buy shit coins. go back and read what I post. actually for me is the fact that someday if lucky I will be in a nice nursing home like my parents..were at before they passed...a fine place...but....even if you are on the ball..you can't play with finances and such...you'd have a living estate you are in a nursing home by the by....you could I suppose look at grandkids stuff. not the same can't have cash in a nursing home that is a vulnerable adult issue...you have a dorm sized room...can't fill it up with junk...so be it a school teacher or a banker...once in the nursing home it is simply giving young staff a bad time and a ribbing and/or sweet-talking your way into another tapioca pudding cup... since then...nice as it was for my parents (by the by...go to small towns where people actually see their folks and extended family once a week or more is the way to go..drive far away from any city above like 30,000 to enroll in such is my plan in the future) ....anyway....since then my 'don't give a flying fig' on stuff has gone up about 20x ....dumb as above my sound...the alternative to not making it into a nursing home is worse! So I'm brave as f*ck now on many things.....perspective... it's a bitch. So the next 20 years or so are gonna be played a bit 'more' fast and loose!  brad My plan is to be rich enough to have a private nurse, if needed I'll convert my home to accommodate what ever is necessary for my care. But in our family, on both sides. not one single person has ever had to go to a nursing home, they were all fit and lived to a high age until they got sick and died pretty quick at hospital. |

Nice shiny new Gretsch 5 piece added to studio. Thank you bitcoin.  I have no idea what a "Gretsch 5 piece" is (thought it was the drumset first but that has nine pieces so whatever it is, congrats!) but if it makes you happy, I'm happy for you. It's so nice seeing and hearing about people being able to do what ever they want instead of having to wait for the next paycheck, or taking a loan or just not do it because no money. |
