We are now approaching the turning point in February. A failure to rally beyond this coming week will signal that we may then move to retest support going into May. Keep in mind that while US politics is now all about obstruction, May will be a major election in Europe where we see a rising tide of anti-EU candidates.


We still do not see a breakout to the upside and we would have to see a weekly closing above the 26000 level to raise that possibility. Meanwhile, this market can remain choppy as it prepares to respond to the coming change in the Business Cycle identified by the Economic Confidence Model due to turn in January 2020.


For now, governments are starting to implode on the state/province levels and certainly the municipal level. We are rapidly approaching the point where there will be the same or higher number of people collecting pensions from various governments than are presently working. This becomes economically unstable and will only result in civil unrest as it has always done throughout history.

I am solely interested in things that extend youth and middle age - which would be tricky without a black hole- not the utter horror and drudgery that comes after that. I'd rather be fat and dead than stringing out another 20 years of staring into the abyss on my bony buttocks.

Where are they selling "live forever upgrades" these days? Cause I see the world's wealthiest still turn into fossils and die. You'd think they'd buy it if available ...

I know what it is, I have just never sen one in a civilized country.

Why are we taking pictures of our food like fourteen year old girls?

hmmmm, not sure what all the fuss is about, I mean, the dark allure of the banned was titillating, I guess, but that took a while

I stopped reading anonymint's blog when I saw that he posted this image, comparing the "transaction speeds" of different blockchains.



It's easy to trick the newbies to believe that the other "blockchains", Ripple for example, is faster without context. He is full of shit.

Tangentially Note: the above chart isn’t cited as an endorsement nor comparison of the security and any attributes other than transactions-per-second (TPS) of the listed distributed ledgers. For example, I wrote (https://twitter.com/iamnotback/status/1081238488421285889) on Twitter, “XRP is a joke. None of the experts respect the algorithm […] Ripple is dog shit. I will cite myself as an expert on decentralized consensus ledgers.”

Ow that stings slightly.

Except I don’t think this thread counts as the general public.

It is my impression that this is deliberate. Don't ask me why. Reasoning can be quite divergent.

This shit is not breaking down. Big money is buying. They are patient. It will creep up till ETF approval on 31/03. Bakkt will come when we least expect. Big alts will push up. Retail will prick up its ears. Hats will happily be eaten. Resistance is futile.

who is that trump guy ?

Sure. He's already made a lot of bone headed statements already. No, I'm not going to enumerate them.

What's that got to do with the nexus between open source and patents? Or Craig challenging JPM on a patent infringement issue, for that matter? Unless you want to make the claim that nChain has not a patent infringed upon by JPM. Which may be the case- I don't know. But my suspicion is that Craig's claim -- at least in this case -- may indeed be true. He can't simultaneously have a mound of patents (for which core sycophants regularly excoriate him), and not have any patents.

I dunno. How similar is a frog to an apple?
