Picking the worst messages you can find, clearly made by disturbed individuals, and trying to pass them of as being representative for all Trump supporters is just morally and intellectually wrong. You can find tweets like this on twitter from disturbed leftists as well if you look hard enough.

Just for fun, show me them.

No, I don't wade in that swamp, look yourself.

That is about as real a take as it gets, you must live in the UK.
In a democracy the majority decide, not the educated, the elite, the left or right.
Most who voted leave had held that view long before a referendum was called.
The only people who did not see the leave majority vote coming, were the entire mainstream media, the well heeled elite, the so called educated classes, and the Labour party who think they know whats good for working people without asking them.



And you can't influence and manipulate the majority, can you?

You seem to undervalue mass psychology, imho.



Anyway, bitcoin does one thing since the genesis block, and that is: surprise us.
When i go by the least popular opinion, imo the sustained continuation of a bull run, for example.
It seems that sideways and down are the more popular expectations, so bitcoin is likely up to do something else  Wink
But this is another attempt to project the past onto future events, tbh. May fail as well, and certainly will at some point  Cool


After 8 years of trying I converted a nocoiner friend yesterday and they were lucky enough to buy the dip.

possibly the birth of a new hodler?

@Bloqport
Bitcoin surges an average of 153% after every 30% pullback 🔥
https://twitter.com/bloqport/status/1348742623809384450?s=21

These +153% would bring us into $80k territory, which the tarot grandma of a WO predicted recently (didn't remember his nickname).



When zooming out, the correction looks just right. Breaking the parabola and returning to trusty, old linear projection.
Shy investors will possibly like this, too.
Confidence.
 
EDIT: and good night!


Well, the remainers tried with massive fud, but failed, so no, apparently not.

In addition, you only have to go back 10 years before the Brexit vote and find out that in fact the Liberal Democrats wanted an in out referendum as well. Nothing to do with Robert Mercer or Nigel Farage.

Populism made almost all the difference.
UK is about to wake up with quite a hangover after the brexit party.

So that shows you that the higher the education, the more wrong you are.

Or are you saying that only highly educated people should be allowed to vote? Like in the good old days when income decided who could vote?

That's not true, as a free independent nation they can now make trade deals with the rest of the world instead of just the EU.

They will start building a free trade area with just about everyone as soon as they can.
And that area will soon be bigger then the EU, mark my words.
Remember EFTA, that Austria used to be part of before joining the EEC? That was started by the British.

Armed Protests being planned in all 50 State Capitols from 16 - 20 January for government buildings and courthouses.

Armed Uprising in Washington DC planned if Trump removed under 25th amendment.

This unrest will devalue the US dollar and support the Bitcoin price.  Based on this news I am now inclined to think we are at or close to, the bottom of this dip.  

Rally from here.

Yeah, right.
You shouldn't believe everything you read.

Part of the problem here is that Parler is funded by Robert Mercer.   Robert Mercer was a founder of Cambridge Analytica and funder of Breitbart.  

I think this one individual has done more to divide America than anyone else (including Trump).  And it has been highly profitable for him.  

There has been no attempt to hold Robert Mercer accountable for his actions. This needs to change. The FBI should dig into his electronic correspondence to see if he had a role in the Capitol Riots.

https://www.reuters.com/article/parler-funding-mercer/social-media-platform-parler-gets-backing-from-mercer-family-wsj-idUSKBN27V020

Quote
Robert Leroy Mercer (born July 11, 1946)[2] is an American hedge fund manager, former principal investor in the now-defunct Cambridge Analytica,[3] computer scientist who was an early artificial intelligence researcher and developer, and former co-CEO of the hedge fund company Renaissance Technologies.[2][4][5]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mercer

Edit: he also supported the Brexit campaign.  This guy is dark.

Quote
Mercer played a key role in the campaign for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union by donating data analytics services to Nigel Farage.[6]

To no one’s surprise, he is a racist.

Quote
Mercer has said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark federal statute arising from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, was a major mistake. In 2017, David Magerman, a former Renaissance employee, alleged in a lawsuit that Mercer had said that African Americans were economically better off before the civil rights movement, that white racists no longer existed in the United States, and that the only racists remaining were black racists.


I think we can solve a lot of these problems and heal America through campaign finance reform. If we stop the firehose of money flowing from billionaires to politicians, we can eliminate much of the corruption.

The Democrats control all three arms of government for two years and they have the means to overturn much of the US campaign finance laws.  This will fix at least some of the sickness at the source.  Unfortunately I have my doubts that they can do it with such a narrow majority, they only need one dissenter. 


He sounds like a good guy fighting for the freedom of countries and individuals, only a leftie could see that as a bad thing.

now, having said that, I thought we all agreed to keep politics out of this thread.
1607  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 12, 2021, 05:46:09 AM

Wow!

I wasn't aware of Parler until the recent events. I'm not a social media fan, don't do Facebook, don't do Twitter, don't do Instagram. Don't do anything of this sort.

70 TB? This is a ton of data!

Reading the above quote just shows the intellectual and moral level of some of those American "patriots". I think many of them should probably be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. The wiring in their brains seems seriously wrong. And the sad part for them is that Trump probably doesn't give a fuck about them...


Edit:



And another... Thanks Hairy.

That's some really scary shit, how six filthy rich people can control 90% of the online communication.

People on the extreme left are too stupid to realise that they are actively advocating that everyone just becomes a consumer in the end. There will not be a Twitter for the average user if this goes on, with the reason: "well words on the internet can be too dangerous". You will literally only have blue tick Twitter users and Grey tick YouTubers with comments switched off.

Consider that 20-25 years ago people started to go on the internet as it had alternative voices to media corporations - tv - newspapers etc. The internet is slowly turning into the thing that people got bored with. Perhaps people who grew up with the internet already there don't realise that?

I reckon with communication being that easily controlled by these cowards (cowards, because they all seem to act in tandem with big bans - deplatforming) I don't see how marginalising Bitcoin is impossible.

People are also blind to the 2 other main reasons why Big Tech and Wall Street want to shut Parler down:

1) Big Tech social media and MSM competitor (hundreds of millions would migrate from Twitter, FB, etc.)

2) Parler CEO has vowed that his company would never collect and sell user data to govt, alphabet soups, or Wall Street

The powers that be won't be having it.



Quote
Security researchers claim that the scrapped posts are linked to accounts that posted them, and some of the video and image data have geolocation information. That is said also to include data from Parler’s “Verified Citizens,” users of the network who verified their identity by uploading photographs of government-issued IDs, such as a driver’s license.

The data might prove valuable to law enforcement since many who participated in the riots deleted their posts and videos afterward. The data scrape includes deleted posts, meaning that Parler stored user data after users deleted it.

A sample quote:

Drinking blood from skulls sounds unhealthy, could be full of blood borne diseases.
They should at least process the blood before drinking it, and make sure the skull is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Also, it's not being "extreme left" to prevent people from organizing a coup and lynchings, it's called civilization.

This whole thing is heading towards War of Terror 2.0 domestic edition.

There will be Patriot Act 2.0 and then 3.0 and there will be bitcoin sections in them, no doubt.

They already started to block some rioters PayPal and Venmo accounts.

Will they go after bitcoin next? We'll see.

They can't destroy bitcoin, but they can choke the retail usage by over-regulating it. "Accredited investors" will be fine, of course.

The US likes to go from one extreme to the other, it seems. Maybe a bit more moderation could have prevented that ? Deleting Trump's racist tweets starting 10 years ago for example, or at least putting the disclaimers they now put ?

If you think free speech is an extreme, you do not belong in a western country.

With that type of logic book burning can be justified indeed.
I see it as a slippery slope like I said. Others see it as a good thing for the greater good.

As pointed out that greater good is slowly controlled only by billionaires.


Book burning by whom ? We're talking about private companies here. And usually on bitcoin forums people don't have problems with billionaires, but I guess there are exceptions.

And you think it's ok for a few private companies to control what we can and can not say?

When People got sick of twitter and started to migrate to Parler, Twitters owner called Amazons owner and asked him to shut down Parlers servers to kill the competition. A blatant abuse of power, and probably against US antitrust and other laws.

Don't you think there is a margin between total censorship and "anything goes" ?

I don't know about the bunny, but I think that anything legal should be ok to post.

If the uptrend is driven by a shortage of coins on the exchanges it should resume shortly.
If everybody, including the institutional investors, have stopped buying, then we will continue down.
My money, literally, is on the shortage of coins continuing, the uptrend will continue shortly.

In my opinion, this still remains one of the best indicators of retail participation. Still only 30% to what it was in 2017 but clear uptick is there in the recent weeks. Follow these numbers closely in the coming weeks

For those that have asked, we've now added this to The Block's data dashboard. You can check this weekly here:
https://theblockcrypto.com/data/alternative-crypto-metrics/social/weekly-gained-twitter-followers-crypto-exchanges

People are leaving twitter in droves just now, you would have to include Gab and Parler to get real numbers.

Matsusaka wagyu. Best served almost raw, barely seared.

Gozu wagyu. Well marbled. Mmmmm.

Is it wrong for me to admit I have blood rushing to my private parts, viewing those cuts of beef ?

Beautiful.

I've only had it once in my life, certainly one of the most tasty things I ever ate. I'm (largely) vegetarian now but I will most certainly eat this again.

FYI: My wife recently taught me the dedicated term for this:

Quote from: honeybunny
flexitarian

I never understood that, either you eat normally, or you don't eat meat, in witch case you are vegetarian.
If you are someone who wishes to be a vegetarian but can't hack it, you are just a normal eater, not a "flexitarian".

And right now my air fryer is signalling that my "Lunna melle" is ready.
Since I bought that thing I make everything in it, I even heat lasagna in it. It's perfect for everything I used to put in the micro or on the frying pan. And there is like, almost, no cleaning.
"Lunna melle is local for Lunda medvurst, a medvurst (type of sausage) from Lund. Mmmm.



Why does medvurst reminds me of mindrust? I thought it was a typo first...  Grin

Never go full medvurst.

Still hungry, so I had another one, this time with some mustard as well.
My childhood favourite that I kind of rediscovered recently, Slotts in a tube, supplier to the royal court, if it's good enough for the king, it's good enough for me.
For dessert, two Danish filled chocolate frogs from Toms and a cup of tea.

Edit: the frogs are actually turtles.
