Here you go: 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.

The only thing that really extends life a significant amount is fasting. You can take any living creature and restrict the amount of calories it intakes and it will live much longer.
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. The thing is, if you could preserve your crusty old ass for another 20 years, they may have viable age reversal methods by then.

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 ... There's been talks of infusing older people with young blood, as lambie slayer pointed out. In the not too distant future, coiners will be farming young nocoiners for their blood.

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
the dark allure of cricket sounds quite titllating 'the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey'
"...every time I fuck your wife, she gives me a biscuit.”
I tried to watch cricket once and it looked like a cross between croquet and baseball, with a bunch of nonsense verbiage thrown in about wicketing crumpets and such.

Unique takes on Lightning Network, Segregated Witness, or basically anything related (or remotely related) to Bitcoin aren't hard to find
Anonymint responded: Really? Links please for unique takes which explain why LN will not scale as on-chain transaction fees rise due to increased demand and limited block size?

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. Anonymint responded: 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.”

The 2019/2020 consolidation phase in Bitcoin will be the most commonly anticipated, predicted and understood consolidation phase in history.
Ow that stings slightly. Except I don’t think this thread counts as the general public. I had crypto Twitter more in mind I think. Everyone seems to think we'll be in the gutter for the next few months, followed by a sideways/slightly upwards consolidation period. I mean, that makes the most sense to me too,which is why it's probably wrong.

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.

Lol at talking about a permissionless world and meanwhile believing patents hold merit.
Two different systems, each governing different spheres of activity. While we don't all get a chance to write the rules, we all must live within them. And yet these two "systems" are not so separate as you try to make them appear, are they? I dunno. How similar is a frog to an apple? Would you be honest enough to criticize Craig, if you knew he was wrong? 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 don't have anything to add to the patent discussion. I just find it curious that you always rush to Craig's defense.
