Back in 2014 I bought a small copy of the wall street bull and a gilded bitcoin coin and a wooden plate to mount it on. Never got around to finish it.
Maybe it's time to do it now and make it a house altar where I can make small offerings to the bitcoin bull.

For crying out loud!

I go to sleep and then work for a couple of hours and come back here and there is 22 pages to catch up.
Doesn't anyone here have a life?

Says the guy who's just wasted his life reading the last 22 pages....

Nope haven't read them all yet, still have 19 to go, I might just skip them.
It's been a beautiful day here and for a change I was up early enough to catch half of it. So I'm in a really good mood and might just do something useful instead.

Universal Sickness Care - and it ain't exactly FREE.  Big Pharma do not want you healthy.  Dental is not covered, along with a lot else.  And good luck getting to see a doctor or specialist without a massive wait.  That's why people here go elsewhere if they can afford it.  Be your own Bank.  Be your own Doctor.  NOBODY else has your best interests at heart.
Dental isnt covered unfortunately but if you take care of your teeth you will be good.  Needing serious medical coverage is a much more random and expensive event than dental.

I saw a doctor yesterday.  Walked right into one of the many "walk-in clinics" scattered everywhere and within 10 minutes I was seeing one, for free.

The specialist I saw twice in 2017 wont fucking leave me alone, keeps calling me for follow ups.

Dont believe any of the BS they feed you south of the border.  There is a reason the rest of the developed world has universal healthcare: it works.  It isnt perfect but for the vast majority of people its the best solution.  If a Canadian desires they can obtain private healthcare, one can even go to the US and 80-90% of it is covered by insurance.

Private healthcare will always be more expensive then public. Simple economics, If you have a serious illness your demand for healthcare is indefinite, and the supply is pretty much fixed, so the price will basically be what you can afford to pay. That is, as much as they can possibly get you to pay.

I think Tera would be one of the safer ones with firearms in this thread.

And JJG would be one of the worst.

I also support blocking people from buying crypto on credit cards.  By definition borrowed money is not what you can afford to lose.

Letting them get in debt 100K for a degree in gender studies is totally sound investment instead.

Gender studies is the phrenology of our time.

Understandable move and might turn out to be good in the mid-term (in a non-speculative way)


Not very hard to get around. Withdraw the money from your credit card and deposit to your bank account, then use your debit card to buy crypto.

a chart that I like today:

https://i.imgur.com/IjU1Iec.png

Why is every chart you people post some variation of the price infinitely going up forever at exactly a 45 degree angle?  I mean, it literally HAS to be a scam to do that.

It's called Perfectly inelastic supply, it's a term in economics.

https://www.economicshelp.org/concepts/inelastic-supply/

Wtf?  Inelastic pertains to things like food and water, not shitcoins.  The world keeps trucking along just like it ever did no matter what happens to shitcoins.

The rule of supply and demand pertains to everything that can be sold and bought.

The pitch to new investors (where price appreciation to 25k is going to come from)

It's not too late to tell your parents to buy physical silver instead.



Ouch...

That happened in my old hometown (Malmö) the other day. She was groped by an immigrant in a nightclub called Babel and slapped the guy. Later when she was going home the guy waited for her outside and smashed a bottle in her face, bystanders intervened but the guy got away before the police arrived.
That's one of the reasons I moved to another town.

You seem to be a little unfocused yourself. Go back and read the whole argument and you will find that it was not about the gold backing per se but about the stating of an opinion as a fact.
What the fuck is a "we rock in your pocket"?

And in any case, you were not a part of that argument, so but out!

But, but,.....but, he has a superiority complex now that he is a Merit source. Only his opinions are valid.  Roll Eyes

More bullshit posting for his mindless accusations and ad hominem attacks at your worthwhile arguments.




Merit source or not, he is incredibly close to being my second ignore.
3172  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 01, 2018, 05:32:48 AM
A more humble person would have presented that as an opinion, not a fact.

Writing for example, "in my opinion they will be unbacked goldtethers...just like the current paper gold market...no thanks"

Or "I believe that in reality they will be unbacked goldtethers...just like the current paper gold market...no thanks"


That's bullshit.

jojo gave you a good enough and logical answer that is pretty much a well known fact that includes that there is a lot of gold that is maniplated and difficult to get possession of millions of dollars of it, take the government of germany for example trying to get possession of gold held in the usa.  

You, Arriemoller, are engaged in trivial bullshit and distracting talk and attempting to give assignments to get caught in the weeds with bullshit about a supposed better status(that you assume) if an asset is backed rather than not backed.  

There is no fucking decent backing of any asset that is not manipulated, including gold.  Bitcoin happens to be a paradigm changing phenomenon because it is the first ever asset class that is backed by decentralized and trustless proof of work.  Sure, in the end, the bitcoin project might fail, but currently we have an asset that looks like it has real decent promise, and if any of the less than 1% of the world who currently HODL some bitcoin recognize the paradigm shifting contribution of bitcoin, they are likely to profit from such recognition by HODLing.  Sure there are going to be other folks who profit from HODLing bitcoin as well, even if they do not recognize the enormity of its paradigm shifting contribution as a new asset class.

So good luck with your attempt to find some asset class that is backed by something (such as gold) and is not manipulated to shit in a much more centralized way than bitcoin, which is currently king of decentralized proof of work backing value in practice.

Don't you mean "I, JJG, are engaged in trivial bullshit and distracting talk"?

Nope.  Did not mean that, and you know, better....  Roll Eyes   You really want to talk about some kind of backing of an asset (bitcoin or otherwise) or merely get caught up with irrelevant nonsensicals?  hahahhaha

Neither, just would like people that I normally consider intelligent and sharp to differentiate between opinions and facts, we are not teenagers om facebook, (well, I'm not entirely sure about you).

What the fuck you talking about?  I thought that you wanted to get into some kind of battle about the supposed superiority of some asset backed phenomenon (such as something like a crypto being backed by gold).  Then you seem to have little to no ability to stay focused?  Grow the fuck up, Arriemoller, instead of attempting to assume whether some one is a teenager or not, or if you have some kind of "we" rock in your pocket. Try to stay on some kind of topic that is meaningful to this thread, if you are able to.  Por favor.

You seem to be a little unfocused yourself. Go back and read the hole argument and you will find that it was not about the gold backing per se but about the stating of an opinion as a fact.

I have a mind plot of 80000 at the end of this year, I'm still bullish.
The only thing that concerns me is the plethora of clonecoins that have plopt up lately, they might suck up some of the fiat that might otherwise haver gone to bitcoin. If so we might get a lower  price, but still much higher than the latest ATH in my opinion.
3175  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 01, 2018, 04:54:06 AM
look what the cat dragged in

It's been a hard slog this. I'm trying to be cool. But holy moly. :'

We are ten times up since this time last year, look at the bright side.
Personally, this is exactly where i thought we would be at the end of 2017. so I'm still happy.

I guess I hope I haven't let a monumental, total one-off chance at financial independence slip through my fingers. That isn't to say I have a lot to complain about.

But dammit Bitcoin. You go up now!

I get that feeling too sometimes, but as long as it stays the course I plotted in my mind I'm usually calm.

Fair enough, though I do hold the probability for there to be shenanigans in, pretty much any, custodial precious metals arrangement to be very near metaphysical certitude.

Well, I don't disagree with you on that. But you never know for sure, and hope springs eternal.

As does human nature, ensuring that it always ends the same.  Whoever is in charge of the money will eventually steal it.  Opinion, based on history.

Nah, not always, but way too often.
