“I was proud to force the Senate to vote on defunding this organization,” said Paul.  “Our nation cannot expect to fully protect and maintain our other rights, if we do not respect the fundamental right to life even starting in the womb.”

The Life at Conception Act, S.99, would ensure equal protection under the 14th amendment. It states that life begins at conception and that human rights should be protected at all stages of life.

The 14th amendment says that all people born and naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and should not be deprived of life, liberty, and property.


all people born
seems.. they want to amend and amendment
'all cells multiplying in a womb'

again
he is not doing the mars colonisation.. he is the transporter

its like the housing industry. he is not the house construction company. he is the truck driver delivering the bricks
a truck driver does not care about who will buy/live in the houses. all they care about is how many bricks need to be delivered

elons role is to be the truck driver delivering materials for mars/asteroid mining.. and on the return delivery bring back rare minerals 100tonne at a time(billions of dollars worth)

it doesnt matter to elon if its humans or robots drilling for minerals. thats not in his business plan. he is just the delivery guy.

its other companies paying elon to get their equipment to mars/asteroids.
yes elon is also making large drills.. using earth transport R&D grants to make them under the purpose of making road/rail tunnels under californian land.. but later requisition and the lease them out for other companies to use

but again elon is just the equipment/delivery guy .. not the company
much like JCB are not gold miners. they just sell diggers to companies that do the mining

..
in the old wild west.. owning a gold mine was not guaranteed profit nor easy money nor safest investment.. however selling the horses, wagons and pickaxes was very lucrative/guaranteed profit

dont worry guys. badecker has clicked on another influencer bookmark that want to promote something for profit..
seems today his influencer is the gunsmiths wanting people to buy more guns

you can spot it.
one month badecker is brainwashed by the pill mill clinics selling supplements
one month badecker is brainwashed by conspiracy nutters requesting donations
one month badecker is brainwashed by cultish nutters requesting donations
one month badecker is brainwashed by gun shops wanting more sales

and then he spins around and starts again

the most funny part about badecker is he acts like a zombie billboard, advertising whatever stupid thing he just read from stupid influencers. where those influencers want to scam their readers out of money for the influencers profit.. but badecker always seems to be the pawn of poverty. thinking if he just spams more somehow he will one day get rewarded.. but never has

he not only doesnt realise he is being used by his influencers. but lacks even the basic of common sense to not realise that what he is spamming is not going to help him

"In fact, it is not used much in the legal economy now. Yes, a rich man sells it to another rich man, but this is not the end use. Without these uses, it has no long-term future. ," Rogoff said. In other words, Bitcoin currently exists almost exclusively as a speculative tool.

So, is the Bitcoin bubble about to burst?

8585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are rebuttals to argument that China could mine empty blocks to kill BTC? on: April 07, 2021, 12:12:23 AM
minimum transactions per block
I wrote something about that in my last post but had connection problems and the two sentences mysteriously disappeared (was probably my fault though). Huh

The problem is that the attacker could have exactly the same effect if he fills the blocks with spam transactions. I believe there is no way to distinguish these from "normal" transactions.

You could try to invent some restriction based on coin age, yes; but all the attacking mining pool has to do is to buy some keys containing old coins (if he has that big pockets he will be able to do that), or prepare for the attack already accumulating coins from months before.

doesnt require that even.
it would require 144000 utxo(even as small as 1sat per utxo). so a cost of just 0.00144btc

putting 1000utxo per block but not using that set for 1 day. and repeating with 144 sets each day

but the thing is in that one day of seeing a pool use only one day old utxo. nodes can just disconnect from peers relaying such ..thus not get relayed from that node. thus. its just making blocks in its own small lill intranet(same as the empty block explanation)

..
whether its empty blocks or spam blocks. the point is. disconnect nodes sending it. and thus the network doesnt propagate them

by the way PoS mining is less secure and has no underlying value. ..but maybe. that is this fantasy scenario attackers plan. empty/spam the blocks to try making devs flip the code to a crappy less secure hashing mechanism
and yes PoS can be gamed easier than bitcoins PoW can. the reason no one tries is PoS coins are crap by default so no one even bothers trying
8586  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Marvel featuring Bitcoin!!😀 on: April 06, 2021, 11:54:32 PM
It's not that big of a deal, especially since they didn't even talk about Bitcoin seriously but just got in briefly mentioned in a text message.
..
but a brief mention like this is probably something that only Bitcoin users will actually notice and appreciate; it's not much publicity-wise.

Still, it was a very fleeting mention - only the BTC symbol for a few seconds. If you didn't already know what the symbol was, then you wouldn't even notice it.

remember folks most people dont know the difference between the symbol BTC vs thailand baht ฿
8587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are rebuttals to argument that China could mine empty blocks to kill BTC? on: April 06, 2021, 11:33:55 PM
i know some have read "china owns bitcoin"... but china doesnt

even the pools headed as being "china" have alot of miners dotted around the world.just using that pool because its 'popular'

users will just pool jump to other pools if they find the pool they are attached to is playing silly games

so a attacker pool would need alot of its own hashpower. which is costly

also there is no need to swap to PoS or swap to CPU mining.
first of all CPU can be gamed.. thats what happened in 2010-2021 already (gpu solo/gpu pooling/asic pooling)

solutions are far simpler
minimum transactions per block
     meaning dont relay dummy blocks
          meaning disconnect nodes sending dummy blocks.
               meaning majority of network dont get any dummy blocks

if no node is receiving dummy blocks. then the network just carries on without noticing the attacker.
the attacker pool can create as many blocks as they like but unable to relay them to the network
the attacker can waste time building blocks on their own lil small intranet fork.
everyone else just sees and accepts valid blocks with content

another safety measure could be to avoid another type of attack (full blocks with only tx data from one source with only 1 block coin-age)
if utxo of say 1000tx has a total coin-age of only 144000 blocks (one day each on average) then thats also ignored. to stop a attacker from just filling blocks with transactions that moved in their previous same day block
8588  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: List Of Benefits and Opportunities With Bitcoin on: April 06, 2021, 09:02:35 PM
think of it as:
a tax haven without the need to be a big business with shell companies
a stock/share without the need of a fund manager
a retirement reserve without the need of a policy
a inheritance plan without the need of a will
a international currency without the need of a bank account
a deflationary asset to hedge inflationary fiat
a casino token to gamble without the local fiat laws


opportunities
find a drop shipper. advertise products priced in bitcoin, get dropshipper to handle the distribution logistics
offer your skill, talents. knowledge in exchange for bitcoin
make games/apps that use bitcoin
start different projects

with fiat. starting a business means you need a business bank account which usually intel's you having to submit a business plan and have credit checks and criminal checks.
however you can start a business and receive bitcoin without all that hassle
you can sell internationally without needing to register in every country your trade to
8589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You Think Bitcoin Save Your Economy on: April 06, 2021, 08:49:05 PM
countries economies will always be managed by their government currency.

bitcoins purpose is not to replace a countries currency. its not meant to 'save the countries economy'

its meant as an alternative..

its like how corporations have shell companies in tax havens..
bitcoin is an individuals own tax haven.

its about taking your value or wealth OUT of the economy to protect it from the economy.
8590  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin hashrate reached a new record on: April 06, 2021, 05:48:03 PM
CryptoQuant CEO says miners continue to collect bitcoins and do not intend to cash out their deposits:

If miners aren't selling, hedge funds and companies like Tesla are buying, then who is selling?
We should be climbing higher but we are staying in pretty much the same level we were since early March.

big mining farms never sell on public exchanges.. they dont sell regularly dependant on daily whims of the market price..

they play the long game. they are planning 6 months ahead.. buying factory leases and doing year long contracts for 'excess' electricity contracts.
when they sell they sell via OTC in large baskets.

they do not penny feed the markets every 10 minutes..

the home hobby miners on the other hand. do react more.
when the price is high. they mine to sell.. when the price is low they buy to hold
8591  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin hashrate reached a new record on: April 06, 2021, 04:27:59 PM
brew master. that is not quite true

if everyone could mine gold in their back yard cheaper than buying gold.. would they mine or buy..
(answer:mine)

at the moment no one would stupidly buy bitcoin over $72k because everyone on the planet can mine for cheaper then that.. even germany

whilst miners make a profit they will mine and then sell
when miners cant profit from mining. they will buy it when its cheap

the buy and sell pressure cause prices to change

yes there is a bit of emotional illogical speculation causing some volatility spikes and dips.. but these spikes and dips of illogical speculation are temporary and correct themselves.

if you can loook at the math of mining costs and work out the % at which level.
if you can work out the realized value of utxo. you can then work out the 'correction' levels .. and also work out the paper and lower bounds of value

for instance
$21k is the bottom level where no miner would min to sell. they wont make profit selling at $21k so they will hoard.
other miners at higher costs would have already given p and just went on a buying frenzy.
this makes $21k a good underline support (the new zero)

.. at the top end no one would buy bitcoin above $72k supportively. because they can just mine the heck out of it cheaper supportively

as for the active coin traders of the last 6 months.. majority wont sell below $37k

so you have a upper limit of buy support at $72k (anything above that would be stupid illogical nonsense speculation(not supported))
then you have a medium resistance sell of $37k slowing down any large threat of a large crash. and $21k as the ultimate hard limit bottom support that would not sell.

..
yes illogical hype speculators that react by emotion and illogic can make small adjustments and movements but these are just temporary waves

if you think the full depth of the market is just illogical emotional hype speculators. then it seems your the one thats following highschool level economics
8592  Economy / Economics / Re: The total value of the crypto currency market is near $2 trillion on: April 06, 2021, 04:07:41 PM
Realized value is the amount of money anyone can get from the sale of an asset. It doesn’t matter if it has a net gain or a net loss.

REALIZED value is not 'the amount they can get from the sell'
REALISED value is the value the coin was when the coin moved to their custody


your weirdly stuck in the SELL price mindset
realised value is about the receipt price aka buy price

its not about the seller.. its about the buyer

its not a previous sellers decision price or desire price or exit price
its the new buyers entry price.

try to learn the difference
8593  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin hashrate reached a new record on: April 06, 2021, 11:30:58 AM
as the price goes up less wiling to buy as cheaper to mine.
as the price goes down more wiling to buy and not mine

So, you mean there is a relation between the price and hashrate?
I believe the same way but according to this theory, time after time and by increasing the price of bitcoin there will be more willing to mine, right?

but you have to realise WHO increases what.. what causes what
if 99% are making profit. thats alot of sell pressure and not much buy pressure
only those with high costs of mining will see good value in buying
take germany with a current cost of mining way above $70k. they wont mine at home. they would prefer to save themselves ~$13k+ a coin and just buy it at $59k

in short
uk/us/china/iceland could happily sell as they can happily mine for profit
japan/italy are in a limbo between profit and loss
denmark, germany, portugal could happily buy as they see market price cheaper than mining cost

..
if hashrate increases. less will profit as the coins splits leave them with less due to more sharing out.
this increases their costs and makes more jump off mining and just buy..
or for the farms.. buy more while mining to support a price increase to keep their mining in profit
8594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kevin O'leary is the gift that keeps on giving. on: April 06, 2021, 10:37:48 AM
Now he's moved on to only buyingBTC that is clean, mined with clean energy, and not from China. What a joke, I think he truly believes that BTC stays as 1 entire coin and that there is no mixing and mingling of sats as transactions are done. I'm actually kinda glad if it helps ensure this dude misses the boat a bit more.

the hints are that he:
'does not buy coins on public markets'. (coins that have been 'spent/mixed)
'does not buy coin from chinese miners'.

he is by what he is inferring . doing OTC trading with non-chinese mining farms in hydro-power area's
meaning he is getting the coins direct from the source mining coin reward. and not from some mixed up reserve public exchange

many whales/large institutions avoid public exchanges.. they prefer OTC instead
8595  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin hashrate reached a new record on: April 06, 2021, 10:21:32 AM
hashrate has some relevance

some countries whos electric is like 27c/kwh wont mine when price is below $55k as the cost of mining is more expensive than just buying btc

so when the price exceeds $55k places like italy start hobby mining from home as its cheaper to mine than to buy

anyway heres some numbers
including a upfront hardware cost of ~$15k/btc(balanced over a 9 month ROI/upgrade plan)
electric cost is ~$1.5k per unit-cent increment
1cent = $16.5k
2cent = $18k
3cent =$19.5k
4cent = $21k  (china/iceland cheapest mining farm(industrial rate))
....
8cent = $27k (china home hobby miner(domestic rate))
....
12cent=$33k (UK mining farm(industrial rate))
...
15cent=$37.5k (US home hobby miner(domestic rate))
...
24cent=$51k(UK home hobby mining)
....
27cent=$55.5k (italy home hobby miners (domestic rate))
...
29cent=$58.5k (japan home hobby miner(domestic rate))

what you find out is that belgium, germany, denmark, portugul are not home hobby mining right now and instead are buying coin. its not cheaper to mine for bitcoin(their costs are over $60k)

japan was not home hobby mining at $55k but is not mining at $59k as it slipped passed the threshold of profitabiity

..
what you will find is that germany is the most expensive domestic electric rate on the planet (38 cent) and so germany value bitcoin at max of $72k cost if mining. and so willing to buy it whilst its cheaper than that

..
as the price goes up less wiling to buy as cheaper to mine.
as the price goes down more wiling to buy and not mine

badecker say "under reporting by CDC/VAERS"

badecker does not realise that the patients and doctors do the reporting.
badecker does not know the difference between reporting. and report

..
now heres some stuff badecker does not know
Anaphylaxis comes in 2 varieties
anaphylactic shock and anaphylactoid

convulsions and swelling is a severe thing
things like 'rash at injection site' is a mild thing

there 2 different things.. of 2 different impact levels

the cdc was concontrating n the anaphylactic shock (the bad one).. not the cry baby 'mummy i got a rash'
hospital was reporting even the mild/minor stuff.. (cry baby stuff)
..
we all know by now badecker pretends to want to get sick from covid rather than have the vaccine.. so will badecker be the one that cries about having a rash at the back of his throat that makes him cough,.. will he seek to warn and tell everyone about his cough..
or would he be like most and not cry about it. but just deal with it

tash. you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel of ignorance
come on. your about 30 years out of date with you 'acid/alkali' theory.

please accept its 2021 and not 1991.. accept that a lettuce/herbal/vegan diet theory linking to cancer/disease prevention is an old theory made to promote stupid diet fads.

if you want to live a lettuce lifestyle just be worked you will still get viruses and diseases.

Not everywhere, there were countries that are able to beat it. First was New Zealand, Taiwan and now there are some countries that have got their lifestyle back.

NZ AU and TW done a border lockdown. no repatriations at first. and then organised quarantine hotels. everyone then coming in had to quarantine for 14 days no matter what

thats how they DELAYED it from getting in.
their vaccinating rates are not great so its not the vaccination
they have not beat it.. they delayed it.
if they dont vaccinate majority before relaxing the borders. they will get their waves of covid.

so to highlight they have not beat it. they just delayed it.
they wont beat it until they have vaccinated enough.. which has not happened yet

some countries like thailand wont get 'herd immune' via vaccines until 2022-23. meaning they have to keep their borders locked tight until then to avoid sharp waves of covid

watch the video and see the size of the tweezers.
https://i2.wp.com/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-1.44.58-PM.png

this is not "nano" size fabric strand.. its micro size
common sense shows this by looking at the reference width of tweezers and then looking at the fabric thickness

also look he has it dipped in water.
yes you can make fabric move in water to avoid showing hands moving it

seems a guy just rubbed his mask/swab against some black fabric and is recording .. pretty much pocket lint
he put on his swab/mask

try to use common sense
