Well... After the btcmillionaire more than successful subject about creating a self sustainable pond in his property... I would like to ask.... Anyone here has fully self-sustainable solar powered property? I have studied a lot about it, but some real life experience from another fellow WO'er would be great.
I think it is already at the point where it is cost efficient (more so considering where I live... SUN all the time!) and I am perfectly capable of doing everything myself and know my shit about buying stuff for way less that its usual price (either second hand or surplus) which will also help reduce the total cost substantially.
The property already has its own waterwell with enough capacity to fill the 125000 litres pool over a couple days. So it is only the power grid what I would like to cut off for a completely self sustainable property. My dream!
Will WO also deliver this time? lol
I am certainly not an expert, but are you building new, or retrofitting an existing AC wired home/building? With solar I think you have two main choices to wind up with usable electricity: Use an inverter to convert it to AC to run your existing appliances (expensive), or build new, with larger wiring in the walls for DC (to avoid voltage drop), then find all DC appliances (expensive). Many do that with camping and RV appliances. That is on top of the power generation itself. Then if you want to watch TV at night (or whatever) you need batteries/storage (expensive). I don't know what your weather is, but you can get better BTUs per dollar of heating perhaps with a passive heat storage, and pump heated water around. Perhaps gravel beds under the house, and/or water for thermal storage. If you need air conditioning, you need a serious inverter (expensive) or RV AC unit. I haven't looked, there are surely green-type DC appliances now that are better than using camping/RV appliances. It would look funny for your luxurious BTC millionaire home to have tiny RV fridges around... If you are building new, it's much easier to implement some of this stuff, compared to retrofitting. I am not an expert. A 125000 liter pool doesn't sound very large (is this a swimming pool?), where I am from ponds are small (measured in tens of thousands of gallons), and lakes are measured in acres. Depending on your weather, perhaps some sort of geothermal involvement could help, and that takes a lot of power for all the pumping. The pond jazz was my earlier question, namely whether or not a self-sustained pond with e.g. salmons and shrimp would be possible on private property. Here we're likely talking about an actual pool though. Different question. Anyway, nice post. Hopefully someone will send more merit your way. |

Guess the non-English language made the entire post, including quote, just fly under my radar. I retract my former post. WO delivers. Edit: Nevermind, I'm just blind. |

WO please, I understand that we're not on a 90 degree up course to the moon, but this thread has a reputation to uphold. Somebody respond to the man. |

OTC Buying Pressure Increases https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/01/the-week-bitcoin-otc-volumes-up-bitwise-etf-bitmain-appoints-new-ceo/"Buying pressure has reportedly increased at many notable OTC crypto trading desks. One of the largest OTC traders, Cumberland, tweeted that the imbalance between buyers and sellers spiked by 60% over the last week. Galaxy Digital saw robust buy back from asset managers, who previously sold assets for tax purposes. The nature of most of Paxos’ trading activity this year was buy tickets from emerging markets traders. Circle’s OTC desk saw a “come back” in January after elevated sell pressure in December. Genesis OTC volume is up by 50% year-on-year. According to a director of the fintech research firm Tabb Group, Monica Summerville, the OTC market is about two to three times larger than trading activity across the whole of the retail exchanges." We heard the same story at $6k. BS. There is genuine organic demand out there but I’m not looking to OTC, Wall Street bonuses or Chinese New Year to right the ship. Year of the Doge will bring dollar parity to Dogecoin though. No doubt about it. |

Kind of makes sense. Why would they announce a move that would massively shift the price against their favour in the short term instead of just stealth buying like JPM & co? |

I wonder what exchange they use. Don't tell me they use finex.
Absolutely no way in hell are they using a wild crypto. The article repeatedly references 'blockchain' and nothing but. Potentially to camouflage their FX tradings so as to not attract attention to a potential market inefficiency that can be abused with Bitcoin. Not saying it exists or that's what's going on, but there are various reasons not to just say "blockchain" when in reality you mean Bitcoin or some other crypto. |

^ Just so you can finally shut up repeating the same old argument over and over. Yes, we are going to a cashless society. That is probably already irreversible, it's just a matter of time.
No, I don't think states are supporting Bitcoin for that nor they really need to but if that were the case it would go to the moon first.
Now just fucking stop FFS.
What do you mean we are going to a cashless society? The only time I have used cash in the past 12 months was when I was defeated by a parking machine in a UK seaside town which would not let me out without a pound coin. I had to go to an ATM and then to a pub to buy a beer so I could get a coin. Fucking savages in the UK. Well that's exactly what I mean. I still profusely use cash because of reasons. Most people don't because of convenience. But we are going onto a path where soon will come the day that we won't be able to use cash (for the most part) even if WE WANTED TO. Most euro countries you can not even buy a high end TV set using cash. It's forbidden by law. They will keep decreasing the max limits over time. Why? Because cash is way harder to control than banking fiat or even Bitcoin. I only use cash for herbs or while in Japan. Too lazy to pass by an ATM otherwise. What's the deal with those max limits though? And how recent is that? I bought a high-end TV some 10 years ago with cash and didn't have an issue with that. Granted that was pay cash on delivery, but still. |

that INB4 was for in already ( as posted already)
Ah no, I used inb4 more along the lines of "in before the event plays out" as opposed to trying to say that you've reposted (which I neither know nor care about). |

Not sure if it was posted before. Just entertaining the idea of a Trillion Dollar Bitcoin. That would imply a value of $10,000 per Satoshi. And thus either food prices in the hundreds of thousands or Bitcoin only existing among the ultra hyper mega wealthy Billionaires to Pentillionaires.
If that ever happened traditional fiat currencies would either be dead and Bitcoin would be the de facto global currency, or it'd be only used to purchase whole countries on planets or some shit like that.
Either never going to happen (most likely) or not in our lifetimes, but sure fun to think about the potential implications of such a valuation.

Custody services. Point in case.
It's all about the option of full freedom, which simply does not exist in legacy finance. There are tons of crypto bears and deniers here by the way, so if you're getting "censored" it's because you're being a twat.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2019/01/14/russia-plans-tackle-us-sanctions-bitcoin-investment-says-kremlin/Russia is preparing an investment in Bitcoin to replace the US dollar as a reserve currency in a bid to tackle US sanctions, according to a Russian economist with close ties to the Kremlin.
Cryptocurrencies have seen a surge of interest in Russia, with President Vladimir Putin expressing interest in the digital assets in recent months. Mr Ginko believes Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency industry now account for 8pc of Russia’s GDP, and investment to bolster the country’s reserves with Bitcoin could start as soon as February.
“[The] Russian government is about to make a step to start diversifying financial reserves into Bitcoin since Russia [is] forced by US sanctions to dump US Treasury bonds and [take] back US dollars,” Mr Ginko said.
“These sanctions and the will to adopt modern financial technologies lead Russia to the way of investing its reserves into Bitcoin.”
Were those russian barts? Unlikely, but possible. If there were any Russian Barts at all I'd assume they'd come with something more official and be much bigger as well. The FOMO should be quite big then. Until then it'll be accumulation time with whales making waves to scam the little retail investor out of their corn. |

When I was younger I was able to sleep in the middle of a death metal concert. Now at my middle age, I can't stand a slightest noise. Not just while I sleep but also when I am awake. Sometimes I just want to strangle the people who talk way too loudly. I want to shout at their faces "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Btw I bought some more today. Patience remains a virtue, which should be more adhanced with age. I have come to understand that I am a bit less risk taking with personal confrontations as I have aged, because it seems quite likely that my face will not take a punch (or a sucker punch) as easily as I could have tolerated in my youth.  We also are more conscious on what we would have to lose if we "win" the fight. It is not worth it unless for survival reasons. I was very crazy not so long ago. I have changed a lot too. Life is much easier this way. I generally wouldn't risk it anyways. You never know what kind of retard is carrying a knife or gun around and ready to stab the shit out of you before you can react, regardless of whether or not you have weapons of your own. There are also the incredibly rare events where you could get one-hit killed by pure chance (hitting your head on a fall down or whatever), regardless of how strong you may or may not be. I'll take a potentially longer life over flaunting my ego any day. If I wanted to fight I'd do it in a more controlled environment. Not sure how that would change if there weren't a select few people who'd be devastated if I randomly died though, as that's a very big motivator for risk-management for me. |

This is something I ponder on and off. That 1-3% figure is pretty far out. I'll bet there are people who've been reading this thread for longer than most of us have been here who've never even registered, let alone written anything. I'm sure it's easy to be intimidated by the astonishing power and paint-stripping insight of titanic intellects such as the one I happen to possess. I still think they should make themselves known. We need a lurker amnesty. Come on out. We won't hurt you. Finally, someone polite enough to invite the guy in the corner. I've been lurking since Spring 2012. AMA. Welcome mate. How has your ride been since then? |

Anyone who still thinks that Craig Wright is Satoshi is definitely a "low life scammer":  Inb4 Satoshi is a genius like no other and is taking on the role as the mentally unstable scammer CW in order to clearly demonstrate that Bitcoin can not be fucked with. He also set up the conspiracy that got some to think that he may or may not be Hal, who is no longer with us (RIP) and thus can't come out of the shadows to prove ownership of the genesis wallet of legends.
