WO is like Bitcoin. No central authority. You are part of WO, or you aren't. You stick, or you don't. It's a beautiful thing, that I have not yet found anywhere else online, or even offline. In these here partsTM (thanks JJG) there are no set rules, no nasty admins, no guidelines to strictly adhere to. There are posts about Bitcoin, trains and rockets, violins and Carolinas, haikus & limericks, rusty pipes and dildos of various sizes, naked asses with messages written on them, all mixed with Nietzsche, The Daily Stormer, ancient Greeks and aliens. And, yet, there is a self-sustaining order and structure that holds it together and makes it the wonderful place that it is.

it is odd that it seems to be more or less self governed with the lightest of touches of moderation when necessarily from infofront.

its got everything from (somewhat) entertaining trolls, true extreme nutters, people who absolutely hate each other, differences of opinion that range from the truly useless to some pretty esoteric stuff that makes you actually learn something. then there the useless shitposters like me. and the bots

and it works. cool.

There are probably several of us looking forward to getting to page parity again, and furthermore looking forward to a kind of staying above page parity.... so stop typing so many posts, you fucks!!!!! (yours truly excluded).

Some of us, also, may recall that we did get above page parity in December 2017, and I believe that it was NOT even a whole day.. it may have been only a few hours.. and the page count at the time was in the lower $19k's as I recall.  It may even be reflected in thread history... even though the WO page numbering is likely screwed up... thanks a lot bbbbbbaaaaaaaawwwwwbbbb...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


wasnt that when people were deleting posts like mad to keep the numbers in sync? pretty crazy day as i recall.

No.  You are mixing up two different situations.

The mass deletion of posts was happening within the crossing of 10k WO pages...

I believe that there might have been a mini-effort to delete posts in December 2017 - but it did not really gain traction like the BIGGER funzie deletion period of crossing 10k WO pages.  I attempted to elaborate further in my response to sirazimuth, here.


bold of you to assume i regularly read your posts  Grin

thanks for the correction btw. i remember it now. keeping it at the 10k page count was nuts.

i have sells stacked at 19667 and 20001 just for the lulz

Could you explain what you mean by "just for the lulz" to a noob like me pls sir?

i use coinbase so i use its figure for the all time high which is 19,666 (although the "official" numbers used by the WO is bitstamps i think). so according to coinbase if i sell at 1 dollar above its ath its just kinda an inside joke to me. same with the 20001 figure, a 20k ath is tossed around a lot as its accurate enough. so one dollar more, just to sell above that number too. i hodled through all that and didnt sell, so its kinda a symbolic thing.

the amounts arent much but it will buy a new toy or two.

overinvested in bitcoin

It’s funny.  I never hear people say, “overinvested in (dollars|euros|whatever)”.  ;-)

Can one be overinvested in money?  Is that like allocating too much cash in your portfolio?


Firing at random, for I am now something like 20 pages behind WO.  ATH yet?

Yes you can be, I am, see above. If the state accepted BTC for taxes, I wouldn't have this "problem".
Fyi, my state doesn't. Hence "overinvested".

when i cash out i add 30% extra and set it aside (in fiat) for the man. not worth the risk of having to sell btc later at an unfavorable price to cover taxes.

of course the odds could go the other way id be ahead but i aint risking it. im not into irs types crawling up my anus. sounds unpleasant.
1509  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 25, 2020, 02:22:10 PM
It’s when the $ exceeds the number of pages on the WO.  Obviously.  

$27,600, the Real All Time High  Grin

The ath is @ $19666+1

Then we will enjoy daily aths for some time.. until we reach the cycle top.. and i pray the lord its not only at current page parity Grin

i have sells stacked at 19667 and 20001 just for the lulz

So, ATH soon is a given IMHO, then what ? Stay up there, go significantly higher ? Then what ? Do you think a pullback to 4 digits USD is possible ? Asking for a friend.

4 digits is no longer possible.  That time has passed.

proudhon should be here soon to maths and science this statement for accuracy.

ok serious question here. can someone give a good tl;dr on this split. gotta admit i dont follow this at all. but i do have an amount of bch (from the original btc/bch fork) thats been on my trezor for ages.

trezor might do some wizardry to figure it out but i just wanna know any gotchas right now. like replays or whatever, as i may send it to an exchange.

any info appreciated.

they checked it out-no sign of any messages or btc "words" so far Grin


but does it have the critical 1:4:9 ratio in its dimensions? ive only seen the one angle shot of it.

been in the sun for a while now too looks like. the aliens were advised of its discovery long ago. at least the strange compulsions i get while looking at it gives me that impression.

ps and i can now tie awesome knots
1513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 24, 2020, 12:01:46 PM
And fuck yes, 19,000.....

Time to reset the alarm for 20,000....

i resist checking the price till after ive caught up on the wo thread; its more fun that way. figured with like five new pages overnight something was up.

at your post i couldnt resist, checked, and it was just under 19k (18.994) at coinbase. but by the time i wrote this reply, its 19.015k

niiiiiice way to wake up.

"GPU5 - not enough GPU memory to place DAG, you cannot mine this coin with this GPU"

This is on Windows, RX580 8GB. Started yesterday on 2 out of 5 mining rigs with the same setup. Is this the beginning of the end for Claymore 15 or is there enything I can do?

if you havent increased virtual memory in windows, i think you can get this error.

i think i had like 32 gigs VM but its been a while so check this thread the numbers are here.

I am thinking about this bull run and the fact that it is the umpteenth time that we are experiencing it.

Would this be the time that no one bothers to sell anymore (except for a few traders) because they know by know that selling = losing the game?

It that’s right, I don’t see serious selling before $50k

Bitcoin never ceases to surprise so let’s see what happens next.

yeah traders gonna trade but thats more fluff really. so it seems to me at least, when compared to the number of true hodlers

peeps who hodled through 20k with all or part of their stash likely dont care about the price till truly bigly numbers, simply because they dont need the fiat/whatever, or are the hardcore long term players.

but im sure there are many, like myself, that enjoy slicing a bit off the top here and there on the way up.

No one stays in the White House forever.

just wait till he destroys democracy itself and becomes president for life and establishes the trump dynasty of the usa or whatever new name he gives our country at that point.  then when he croaks his spawn will have him stuffed and put on display, just so he can stay in the whitehouse forever.
1517  Economy / Speculation / Re: [WO] None of the bank’s business on: November 22, 2020, 12:59:51 PM
and did get a call, specifically asking about coinbase, from my banks due diligence office. she mainly wanted to know what i used it for (investment none of your business) and do i send anything out of the country (no none of your business). thats was about it. coinbase and that particular bank account had been linked for like 8 years.

FTFY.

It should not need to be said that I am not giving advice here.  However...

The primary reason why I avoid “KYC” is that I will not answer these questions.  On principle.  Not to save money—privacy has been absurdly expensive for me!  I have lost a lot of money in Bitcoin and especially, in privacy coins.  Bitcoin’s rise in value may offset that.

And I could not answer some of these questions.  For fully legitimate purposes, I have made transactions with cypherpunks whose locations are as unknown to me as my location is unknown to them:  Essentially cash transactions with people who could be in the same city as I am, or on the other side of the world.  Do I send anything out of the country?  I honestly don’t know, and it is none of my business.

And if you ever send me money, then you will never again be able to answer such questions, either.  My homeland is terra nullius—that is all you need to know.

i agree. however ive run life changing amounts of money though coinbase and that bank account. theyve never given me any hassle or even asked where did  that money come from. nada. no interest all.

so eventually answering two questions about coinbase from the bank that, yes, technically they shouldnt need to know (well maybe they do coinbase is giving info to every agency that asks) is a small price to pay to avoid some weird checkbox because i dont fit into some category. doesnt mean i like it, and those answers were specifically about the money and coins that i keep in coinbase.

as to my private wallets, what happens there, stays there.

speaking of maths and science, where is that foul beast proudhon anyway? i figured it would be here by now.
1519  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 21, 2020, 12:28:40 PM
And to be fair: You sell when you need to, just try to make sure the reasons were good. The towels were bought partially to show my highly skeptical partner that yes this tinkering I am doing CAN produce items of tangible value. The coins sold for the car bought me something that has brought a lot of fun and pleasure to my life at a point where I can still enjoy it. Buying a couple of gold coins with bitcoins was *stupid* but it also got at least one coin vendor to see their true value and potential.

did the same here with early (like five dollar) coins to sell for upgrades to vacations and such. that was the deal with the wife for putting up with my "crazy internetz moneyz" computer hobby .. but when she saw those gpus in the basement running 24/7 suddenly paying for an upgrade to premium this or that.. heh.


So we do things when we do them. Sure Bob could have waited longer to bail his beau out of bondage, but that would mean less time spent as free men. Doing it while they are young allows them to enjoy the passing of time, which is one thing that we each have a set amount of in life, and like bitcoins all the hoping and praying and whining in the universe will not add one second to our time allotted on this earth or one more satoshi to be added to our wallets. Only actions have the potential to do that.

Guess the final word on this is "make it count" and "if you sell it do it to make your life better in the fixed time you have left". If what you sell for increases your life's length, health, quality, and/or enjoyment then it's probably a good deal.

Otherwise, HODL!

agreed. i retired early because of bitcoin and i know others here have too. retirement is a good ride.

and congrats to bob and rick! youll have no regerts

Hm. Apparently I can "buy" "bitcoin" in Paypal. However I have to set up a "cash account" and they want my SSN/TIN and DOB.

I don't think I ever gave them that before. Need to think about this for awhile.

Paypal is trying to be a bank now...so indeed...I figure I'm so odd that I'm already on any radar of any note with any government or institution so don't sweat it anymore...

same here. kyc'd to the hilt on coinbase  and such. i started with them in 2013 and while i knew about the whole pseudonymous thing but now with modern chain analysis man they can do some serious guesswork. i like that most of my coins are mainly from pool payouts, and all properly claimed on my taxes.

im sure i raised flags at the bank. i mean ive gone out of my way trigger flags, might as well flaunt it. and did get a call, specifically asking about coinbase, from my banks due diligence office. she mainly wanted to know what i used it for (investment) and do i send anything out of the country (no). thats was about it. coinbase and that particular bank account had been linked for like 8 years.
