I'm with you, Jay.  Yes, it's "possible" to go down lower than previous low on Stamp set at $5,780.00.  That low went below the Selling Climax low in February set at $5,920.72 on BitStamp.  That drop below the lowest boundary of the trading range ($5,920.72) signaled the existence of a Wyckoff Accumulation Schematic #1 and not #2.  Which also signaled a STRONG possibility of a Spring (reversal to the upside) and a future TEST of the lower boundary of the trading range one more time before reversal is in the bag.  Even my indicators are showing bottom is near.  Where that bottom will be remains to be seen.

By 2015, my ex had depleted my remaining $100k and I was destitute and becoming more ill stuck in poverty in Mindanao with no health insurance, no options to leave, and backwater provincial third world health care system. No family members at all who can help me with anything.

Also even if they are thinking logically their communication range can be too high for the person more than two standard deviations below them to understand. Because they’re building abstract models that are incomprehensible to those 2 or 3 standard deviations below them. So if their behavior or communication appears to be gibberish, it may actually not be.

Core has some guys with reasonably high IQs. Maybe up in the 145 range or so. But I would roughly guess that Mircea Popescu is in the 160 - 180 IQ range. There was some brief attempt by Gregory Maxwell to grandstand in a discussion thread and Mircea Popescu wiped him with the floor. It wasn’t even close. Gregory then proceeded to STFU. He had actually banned M.P. from some discussion or something (back when M.P. was still willing to communicate outside his own IRC freenode), I forgot the details. I don’t have time to go searching for that specific discussion. The difference is akin to the digitization of flowers example I showed you (see quote below). We can presume that Mircea Popescu has surrounded himself with other such geniuses and it is unlikely they are mistaken. Note rpietila has an IQ of 167, and I have no idea what happened to my friend. I’ve been too overloaded to apply the effort into researching whether he is faking losing all his wealth or if he has mental stability problems. So by that I mean genius IQ is not the sole factor. Another issue is the socialization of the Core developers who have ostensibly adopted progressive, social justice philosophy (i.e. irrational belief in democracy and other psychosis) which thus blinds them to new objectivity of John Nash’s Ideal Money.

The fund will invest in non-speculative use cases which can promote adoption to the level of “hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people”, and will “invest aggressively” despite any sort of volatility or long-term bear market (a “crypto winter”).

Solid jobs are getting harder and harder to come by in China. Good looking people have an edge.

There are soo many Projects going on in crypto right now. I really wonder if Bitcoin will still be the main driver in crypto in the future. It's quite possible that a new coin takes over the lead for the next run.

Anyone find it strange the Tron group photo looks more like the choir for the Chinese communist party?

Fuck you!  In Tron we don't trust.  In physical silver we trust.

I'm reluctant to invest in stocks. This is one of the longest stretches without a crash, and given that we live in a world with record-breaking debt, that's not a great place to be.

My personal goal is to get enough fiat to be set for life (at current valuation, at least) and then just let the rest ride. Billionaire or bum, I don't do anything halfway.

It's not complicated for anyone except our US brethren

It's a competition where the winner gets a cup (a nice shiny one).

But then it is a little tougher to explain.  You see the use of the word 'World' in this instance means literally EVERY contry in the world can enter their national team in it.  Unlike in America where the use of the word 'world' in sport (e.g. the baseball World Series) can mean only teams based in America normally take part.

Now to further complicate things the competition is for playing what most countries in the world refer to as 'football'.  This is a game played by people using mainly their foot to kick a spherical ball.   Of course in America 'football' refers to a strange game which involves an egg-shaped object largely carried in the hands.  Actually more like a sort of 'egg-hand-ball'.

The World Cuo and indeed 'football' is rather popular worldwide, but not so in the USA, sadly.   I guess it's just not exciting enough.




sorry - very bored on a long hall flight.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and block depth. if you make segwit tx a to me at height 1 and i put it into a normal tx at block 2, i can spend it from block 3 as my bitcoin, the segwitnmess is gone out of it. to steal it from me, one has to rewind all the way to block 1 again. which is possible, but expensive as the chain builds.
mircea_popescu: now, if this is the plan it's not a very good one (you can bury a segwit tx into legitimate spending which is deep enough to not be practically reorg-able) but anyway
mircea_popescu: exactly the same play. oh, we "buy" bitcoin crash. if it takes, it's good. if it doesn't take, guess what, segwit unroll later.

So I'm thinking instead of a lambo, which let's face it is mostly about how it looks, might get a Tesla instead. The future is obviously electrical, and it's actually a practical car.
